latest Developments i'm the Disaster at the
Queen City.
CINCINNATI, May Tho threatening
walls at the sccno of the late explosion
have been taken down, but the debris has
been SO much increased that little progress
has been made. Up to IL o'clock last
night no additional bodies had been re-
covered. Al Frick, Barbara Steinkamp,
James o. O'Brien, John Greilich and Joseph
H. Peters, who were reported missing,
have been accounted for. Charles Bach,
John Wilson and Harry Thurston arc
added to tho list OF the missing.
Mrs. Drachs rested easier last night than
during the day. All the other injured arc
doing we'll. The coroner's inquest began
taking testimony yesterday. As Adolph
Drachs. one Of the victims, was generally
considered responsible for tho disaster,
there is not likely to be any one held, un-
less the building inspector and tho coro-
ner together take action in enforcing the
condemnation of unsafe buildings on the
landlords.
LATER.-While the workmen were ex-
cava,ing q roadway into the debris they
found the body Of John Beers, of Lafay.
ette, Ind. His body was under the side
walk, where the gasoline engine was
located. Drachs and Beers were together
working with the engine at the time Of
the explosion Monday night.

SerYed In no Wars,
THE GRIP ALMOST WON WHERE THE
BULLET FAILED.

(From tie Herald, Woodstock, Va.)

InArnities 81 the Veteran.
From ths Herald. Woodstoek, Ta.l
There is an old soldier in Woodstock, Va,
who served in the war with Mexico aud in
the war Of the rebellion, Mr. Levi Mclnturf.
He passed through both these wars without
serious wound. The ,hardshipe, however,
told seriously on him, for when the grip
attacked him four years ago it nearly killed
him. Who can look on the infrmities of Q
veteran without . feeling of the deepest
sympathy! His townspeople saw him con-
nned to his house 60 Frustrated with greet
nervousness that he could not hold Q Knife
and fork at the table, scarcely able to walk
too, and a. he attempted it, he often stumbled
and fell. They saw him treated by the best
talent to be had-but still he suffered on for
four years, and gave up finally in despair.
One day, however, he was struck by the
scconnt Of cure which had been effected
BY the use Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. He
immediately ordered . box and commenced
taking them. He says he was greatly re.
Iievcd within three days time. The bleed found
ITS way to his fingers and his hands which
had been palsied assumed natural color,
and he was soon enabled to use his knife ard
fork at the table. He has recovered his
strength to such an extent that lie is able to
chop wood, shock corn and do his regular
work about his home. He now SAYS be can
NOT only walk to Woodstock, but can walk
across the mountains. He is able to lift up a
hhy-two pound weight with one hard and
says he does not know what DIR. Williams
Pink Pills have done for others, but knows
that they have done great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court day,
and was loud in his praises of the medicine
that had given him SO great relief. lie pur-
chased another box and took it home with
him. Mr.. McTnturGf is willing to make sfi.
davit to these facts.
The proprietors of Dr.Williams' Pink Pills
state that they are not pateat medicine but
prescription used for many years by an EN-.
inent practitioner who produced the mos.
wonderful results with them, curing all forms
of weakness arising from . Catery condition
of the blood or shattered nerves. two fruitful
causes of almost every i'll to which flesh j.

adopted . resolution for the appointments

way officers Of that corporation agree to
submit the questions at issue between
them and their late employees TO arbitra-
tion. Last evening. for the first time since
the strike began, tho police admitted that
the situation was becoming serious.
Turbulence Occurs Everywhe1e.
Though the police force was strength
ened by eighty.flve special officers, Mayor
Rauschenbcrger and Chief Of Police
Jansen late in the afternoon decided that
In view Of the demonstrations during the
day 100 additional officcre should be sworn
In ut once. Disturbances continue to occur
in all parts Of the city where attempts are
made to run cars. The new men are
stoned, car windows smashed, switches
plugged and other acts Of violence COM
mitted. The crowds are 90 scattered and
% strong in numbers that the police arc
unable to preserve order. Few cars are in
operation and they are run irreQularly.

On the other hand Vice President Payne.
Of the railway company, says the strike Is
over SO far as the company is concerned.
He says they have all the men they want
and have ceased hiring new men. Payne
announces that the strikers will not be
blacklisted, but that none of the old men
will be hired. unless it is to fill vacancies
that may occur in future There were six
ty cars running yesterday morning and
eighty before night and they were fairly
we'll patronized in spite of the fact that
mobs were continually obstructing the
tracks and sroning tho cars. The police
force was prompt. however, and dispersed
the crowds. A number Of arrests wore
made.

Statistical Agent of the Government Co

San Francisco, Oct. 19.-Wiilia1n A
Wilcox of Washington, d. c., statisti-
cal agent of the United States COM
mission Of fish and fisheries, has arrived
from Oregon and Washington for the
purpose Of preparing statistical report
Of the fishing industry on the coast.
He has been industriously engaged in
the pursuit Of his investigations and
inquiries in Oregon and Washington
for several weeks, and will devote the
next mouth or two to the work OF gath
ering data concerning the fish and fish
cries of California.
Mr.. Wilcox said that for several years
past the fisheries of the west coast
of the United States had been growing
in importance 20 such an extent that
the United States fish commission had
deemed il advisable and highly import
ant that an elaborate and accurate re-
port of the status Of the fishing indus
try here be obtained and he has been
sent here for that purpose. His report
is calculated to prove Of great benefit
TO the commercial fishing industries
of the coast for the reason that 1t VIII
Show the need Of more hatcheries. and
d more thorough stocking Of the streams
and inland waters of the coast states.
He says that II is highly probable that
tie United States FISH commission viii
decide TO establish half a dozen new
hatcheries in California before long, for
the reason that the fishing industry %
the Pacific coast states, including Alas
ka. has grown until IL ranks next to
those of the New England and middle
