AWEUL CONFEDERATION.
Shocking Death Of Two Prominent Tennessee
Business Men.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 4.-The
Richardson building, one of the hand
soonest structures in the south, was
burned to the ground yesterday morn
ing, and Boyd Ewing and s. NJ. Pat
ton, both leading citizens and business
men, were killed under circumstances
particularly appalling and shocking.
The direful calamity spread gloom
over the entire city, and not since the
burning of the Critics Caldwell block,
in which the lamented j P. McMillin
lost his life, have the people of the city
been so profoundly moved.
Boyd Ewing and Sam Patton were
both genial pentlemen; popular, sue
cessful, progressive business men and
their melancholy and sudden taking off
was so shocking and so horrible in de-
tail that all forgot the business losses
that followed the frightful confagra-
tion. n#.
L. II. Carlock, a young lawyer who
occupies Offices with Greed f. Bates in
the Third National bank building, was
attempting to bring down books on
ladder from his Office when he observed
the Seventh street wall about to topple
over. He jumped to the ground, ,realiz-
ing that this was his only hope of es-
cape, and had his ankle severely
sprained and back injured.
THE DEADLY WIRES.
The olive" electric light wires Sc
riously interferred with the work of
the fremen at first 1t was several
minutes before the current was cut off
so as to be safe for fremen to ascend
the ladders among the wires.
AS the walls fell the telephone and
electric light wires were precipitated to
the streets in inextricable confusion,
ORIGIN A MYSTERY.
The exact origin of the fire will never
be known. The most plausible theory
and the one held by Night Watchman
Street is that it originated in the boiler
room in the basement of the building.
The fire undoubtedly started in the
basement and upon the Broad street
side of the building, Just where or
how it started no one knows and proba-
bly, no one ever will know.

"The exhibit will undoubtedly prov,

RtOtfng In San Luis.

NEW YORK. May "a dispatch to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres says: Serious
rioting is reported from San Luis province
and the government has sent troops there
to preserve order. The outbreak Is a re-
suit of the great restitution and suffering
in the province and the delay of congress
in extending aid to the sufferers. The
rioting is confined TO the laboring classes.
A mob was formed and open threats made
against the governor OF the province. As
a result Of the critical situation congress
at once decided to extend aid 70 the suf-
ferers, but in spite of this the rioting con-
tinues. The government has decided TO
increase the. special commission appoint
ed to settle the boundary dispute with
Chile In order that the commission Will
be able 10 finish its labors by next year.

NEW YORK, May "A special 10 the

vices show that the insurgents are active
IN that province. Tapasta was attacked
last week by force OF 100 insurgents and
held for an entire day. The Spanish gar
risen in one OF the blockhouses retired
completely. while the other held their
ground and did not fire at the insurgents
or disturb them in any way.
The Cubans took possession OF the va

and provisions they could find. and then
set IL on IRE. The other blockhouse, with

kept quiet. no offensive operations being
attempted By the Spanish officer In COM
mand. The Cubans camped within half
mile OF the Spanish force. and plundered
the stores of the town without opposition
La Heiba was attacked by a party from
Rodriguez force the first of the week and
the Spanish garrison driven out. There Is
small earth fort there and two block
houses. The Cubans attacked the earth
works early in the morning and carried
them by dashing charge. the Spanish re-
treating into their blockhouses at the
other end OF town. One OF these was at
tackled by the Cubans and three bombs
exploded under its walls. shattering 1t
badly and killing several inmates. The
Spanish surrendered and We're paroled by
the Cubans. Some firing took place be-
tween the insurgents and the other two
blockhouses but no attack was made on
them, the Cuhans apparently being con-
tent with the victories they had gained.
They entered the stores. took what they
pleased, and loaded their plumber on OK
teams in plain view of the Spanish force.
The Spanish loss is said to have been
about seventytive killed and wounded.

Many people misunderstood the posi-
ton of the Y. NJ. c. A. on It's financial
management A Seattle man recently
criticised the association for charging
young men $40 year for privileges which
should be given for a mere nominal sum.
The annual membership fee OF $40 gives
members privileges which cost the associ-
alton at least sl2 per year for each MEM

agement 1t is the same fee as is charged
in nearly every progressive Y. NJ. {. A.
in the country. The only difference Is
that In other cities the business men pay
a much larger share of the support than
here. In other cities the business men
assume from 80 to so per cent. of the Y.
NJ. c. As expenses, the average being
shown by the records as IS per cent. In
Seattle the business men give less than
20 per cent. of the amounts. expended.
This is creditable to the management of
the Y. Nj. G. A, but does not show the
proper spirit among the people of Seattle.
If the business men Of Seattle would
agree to stand 50 per cent. Of the neces-
sary expense for sustaining the local Y.
NJ. c. A, Secretary Swift and the direct
ors OF the association would soon place
the organization among the leading Y.
