DREAMED OF BURGLARS.
Mrs. Mary Mayors Screamed and HeV
Daughter Fired n Revolver.

People living in the neighborhood of Park
avenue and Walnut street were startled last
night at about 10 o'clock by several shots
fired in rapid succession and the screaming
of women. A number of people hastily
gathered about the house at No. q Park
avenue, where Mrs. Mary Mayors and her
daughter reside, and found two badly
frightened women. After the excitement
subsidized the affair was explained. Mrs.
Mayors said that man had attempted to
enter the house the night before, and that
last night she dreamed he was trying to
effect an entrance again. She awoke and
began screaming. Her daugter was sleeping
in room upstairs. She heard her mother s
screams, jumped out of bed and began firing
pistol out the window. Some people who
were sitting on a porch across the street
at the time say they saw a man running
away from the house after the first shot
was fired.

the Press from Hazelton states that early
in the day a number of miners were march,
ing or the Hazel mines, owned by Calvin
Pardee, and that two of their number were
arrested. The crowd then turned towards
the Lattimer mines. When they reached
the edge of the town, marching ten in
line, they were met by Sheriff Martin and
about seventy deputies. Martin halted
them and read the riot act to them, and,
brandishing revolver above his head, or
dered them to go back. The strikers an
swered that they were not doing any harm,
and began to brush by Martin. Immediate

eight wounded were stretched on the
ground, and the remaining miners began to
scatter to all points for shelter

COLORADO's NEW GOVERNOR.
His Inauguration the Most Unpreten-
tious in the States History.

DENVER, Jan. 12.-The simplest and
most unpretentiOus Inauguration in the
history of Colorado was that of Gov
ernor Adams at noon to-day. The only
expense was So for printing tickets of
admission to the Capitol The inaug-
ura1 address of the Governor demands
rigid economy in the State affairs
Alva Adams was born in Wisconsin
in 1880. He mOdestly describes his ed
ucation as a log schoolhouse educa-
ton He came to Colorado in 1871.
and in January, 1872 started a hard
ware business in Colorado Springs. and
soon after transferred it to Pueblo
From this center he has organized
branch houses in various parts of the
State. putting them under the charge
of young men whom he had selected and
trained for the purpose. He has the
reputation of having done in this way
more than any other man in the State
to promote its welfare Governor Adj
ans has not become rich, but he has
made many others rich.
His intellectual growth has kept pace
with his prosperity He has one of the
a working library, especially rich in
books on practical questions, such as
economics and sociology.
He has always been a Democrat, but
was elected Governor in 1887 by a
union of the best elements in the State
regardless of party lines. The simple,
straightforward business administra-
ton which he gave in 1SST-79 is a.
guarantee that his administration in
1879 will be one of intelligent and
conservative progress

THE VATICAN AND THE REBELS.
ROME'S ATTITUDE TOWARD IN.
SURRECTlONISTS.
Archbishop Martinelli Talks in ReIa-
ton to the Philippine Island
and Cuban RevOits.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia Herald"
special from Washington says: The
Papal delegate, Archbishop Martinelli,
has received discouraging news from
his Vicar General, Rodriguez, in Rome,
regarding the rebellion in the Philip
pine Islands. In an interview last night
Mgr. Martinelli discussed the situation
III both the Philippine Islands and in
Cuba with considerable freedom.
Our order is very strong there -
said he, las we have several Bishops
and 3333 priests scattered all through
the provinces. 1t was too much t, ex-
pect that all of them had escaped and
the news l received is bad. l have two
letters from my Vicar-General, and he
informs me that five Augustinian
priests in parishes about Manila have
been carried off by the rebels. and no
news whatever has been received from
them. In the absence of information we
believe that they are dead. Thirteen
Dominican priests were also either car
ried away or slain by the rebels and
those who were taken off were afte~-
ward killed, so we suppose the same
fate has befallen the members of oar
order
The rebellion in the Philippines is
likely to prove a most horrible af-
fair as the natives are only semi-civ-
llized. Spain, too. is Handicapped to
some extent by the fact that she main
army of about 4 900 men. Stain will
have a difficult task to subdue the half
barbarous people of the Philippines.
Mrg. Martinelli, after referring to the
various reports regarding himself and
the affairs in Cuba, said:
81 have reason to believe thai the re-
hellion in Cuba will be erded Very
shortly. At least, so l gather from
what L hear from Rome. These re-
ports all go to show that the rebellion
is drawing rapidly to a close, and that
it will probably be ended in the mid
die or latter part of Februa y the
Spanish seem to be victorious every
Cay, and the list of killed and wounded
grows constantly larger.
The close connection between tbs
Government and people of Spain and
the Vatican presupposes an inclination
toward their side. The Vatican has al
ways been in favor of esta biished gov
ernments and against rebeilions.
Finally, we have reason to believe
that, as far as the church itself is con-
cerned. we Will be better treated by the
Spanish Government in Cuba than We
would be by the new Government,
should the rebellion succeed. 1t is
sure that in case that they did succeed
a large number Of Spanish priests would
he banished from the island, and per-
haps much property would be destroyed
or coufiscated."

FlTTSBURG CPa), Jan. 12.-At 9:1I
this morning the tank house of the
Columbia Powder Company, located in
hollow half a mile from the Ohio
! River and midway between the bor-
cughs Of Shousetown and Shanopin,
blew up
Five minutes later the storage room
was shattered by a terrific explosion.
Mr.. Sticllney, proprietor of the works.
and his two daughters are dead
i. McKluskey was fatally injured.
Walter Crane is seriously hurt.
\ corrected list of the killed and in
Jured places the dead at four with one
fatally injured, Mr.. McKluskey dying
from his injuries
BY almost superhuman efforts the
flames We're controlled before the gly-
cerine machine ignited, and a more Sc
rious catastrophe was averted.
All the killed and injured were en-
ployes.
The cause Of the explosion will prob
ably never be known.
For a time the people in the vicinity
were in frightful state of trepidation
1t was soon noised around that the fire
was approaching the glycerine tank.
and everybody knew that frightfuI
explosion would ensue if it ever
reached the tank. All the employees
worked Like demons to turn the fire in
another direction. 1t was some time be-
fore they saw that their efforts would
prove successful.
The relatives of the people who are
killed are inconsolable. Besides the
near relations, many friends mourn
their loss. The whole affair was so sad
that it will be many long day before
these who Witnessed it will forget it.
1t appears that in the past the COM
pany has been very fortunate in regard
TO explosions.
For This reason it is believed that
some of the employees got careless and
did not take the proper precaution to
prevent an explosion.
a thorough investigation of the whole
matter Will be made and strong at
tempt to fasten the responsibility
where it belongs 1t is very probable,
however, that the blame for the explo-
sion rests with one of the men who was
killed
