uNloNPAclFlc MAcHlN,sTs OUT
Over Three Hundred Men Let Out Bccaus,
of n Decline In business.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 5.-The cold wave
this evening struck TO the marrow of
$50 Union Pacific shop machinists all
along the main line from Council Bluffs
TO Ogden. One hundred and sixty Were
discharged from the Omaha shops and
others from those at Council Bluffs,
Grand Island, North Platte. Cheyenne.
Rnwlins and Evanston and Ogden. The
reduction of force was ten per cent,
and among the men let out were some
who had been with the company since
the Omaha shops We're built. as well as
some of the latest put on the pay rolls.
From the number of discharges of
veterans an impression has obtained
that President Burt was largely acting
on the theory of retaining men in the
best physical condition, but officers of
the road deny this. Discharges of
monthly salaried men on Monday at
the Omaha shops, combined with this.
make about 200 let out at this city
from the shops alone. officials say this
reduction is caused by falling on of
business since the first of the year.
President Burt has not vet over
hauled the pay rolls OF other offices
than those of the general offices and
shops, but there is general SILVER
along the line in the belief that lie will
Insist that services OF others can he dis.
pensed with. There are about 1000
men left In Omaha shops.

GOVERNMENT RELIEF.
The Expedition Set. Sail From rortlan

The Expedition Sets Sail From Portland.
Portland. Orc. Feb. THE expedi-
tion which the United States govern
mcnt Is sending into the interior of
Alaska with supplies for the relief of
miners who are reported to he in want,
sailed for Dyca tonight on the steam-
ship George w. Elder The Elder car
ried 800 passengers, ~ of whom are
officers and enlisted men of the army,
| who will act MS escort TO the pack
train, which, 1t is expected will carry
the relief supplies over the passes.
The officers In charge of the detach-
ment sailing by the Elder are Captain
George Ruhlen, assistant quartcrmas-
ter: Captain Bogardus Eldridge. In
charge of the escort, with Lieutenant
Il. W. Clark, assistant, and Lieutenant
q. NJ. Kemp, assistant surgeon.
About 200 tons Of provisions were
forwarded by the government from
here and an additional supply will go
from Seattle in few days.
Brlgadier General Merriam, com
mandng tlej4cpartment of the Co,
lnmbia. who 1ins general supervision Of
preparing the expedition. has assigned
Major l.. ii. l.ucker, Fourth cavalry.
to the command OF the relief cXpedi-
tion. Major Rucker has been In Alaska
for several weeks and has taken tenn
porary station at Dyea, where he has
established n camp and supply depot.
General Merriam expects to go to
Alaska ON the steamer Oregon. which
is scheduled 10 sail In a few days. and
from Dyca he will direct affairs until
the expedition is started over the
passes.
The government has let contract
to the Snow and lee Transportation
Company of Chicago for carrying $50
tons of supplies from Dyea TO Dawson.
but as the paraphernalia of the com
pany has not yet arrived on the Pacific
coast. 1t Is probable that General Mer-
riam will push on n portion of the sup
plies by pack train 10 Lake Lc Barge
and there build boats on which to
carry the supplies down the Yukon.
1t is expected that the 800 reindeer
brought from Norway by the govern
ment will be landed in Alaska within
a month. and II possible additional
supplies will he taken In with them.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Three Prisoners In the Victor City Jail
Cremated.

Cremated.
Denver, Feb. IA special to the Re
publican yesterday from Victor said:
Harry Haley, Thomas Quinn and
james Connors lost their lives this
morning In Il fire which partially con
sumed the city Jail here, and Patricl;
NJ. McAuliffe lies In prccnrlous con.
dition at the Iowa house as result OF
the same cause.
All of the men were graders in the
employ Of Contractor Dumphy of the
Florence & Cripple Creek Railway
The catastrophe was the most horrible
ever occurring in Victor, with tile sin
gle exception of the Anna Lee mine
disaster of some two years ago.
The firing of the Jail was the fren-
zicd act of James Connors while
crazed by drink.
About @ O'Clock this morning the Jail
building was discovered to be on fire,
and shortly aftcrward flames We're
bursting through the pitch pine struc-
turc. The fire department reached the
scene promptly and two streams of
water We're at once directed upon the
flames, which We're soon under con
troll.
When Ii wns stated that four pris-
oners were confined in the building,
the assembled crowd was filled with
horror, and citizens, police and fire
men worked like Trojans to rescue the
unfortunate from the horrible fate
which threatened them. 1t seemed
like an almost hopeless task from the
first, so fierce were the flames and
NvN. oil
worked on. and at last grbped through
the binding smoke TO the large room
In the rear of the Jail, where three
men We're stretched apparently life
less on the floor, and laying hold of
them dragged them out into the air
Two were dead, having succumbed TO
the suffocating smoke, and the third.
p. NJ. McAuliffe, was gasping and
struggling for breath. He was moved
TO the Iowa house and Doctors Me
Kenzie and George summoned. After
prolonged effort they succeeded In
restoring McAuliffe to consciousness,
and he Is now thought TO be out of
danger.
As soon MS the flames had been sub
dued, an examination of the fail was
made and in n cell at the rear of the
building was found the blackencd.
charred and almost unrccognizable
body of James Connors, whose rash
act was the cause of the terrible catas-
trophe.
The bedding in Connors' cell had
been torn In shreds and piled about
the door, and it is very evident the
man was imbued with the idea lie
could burn his way to liberty and fell
victim to his own rashness. The
bodies We're removed TO Hunts under
taking rooms, and the coroner notified
of the occurrence.
An investigation was made by the
coroner. After the testimony was all
In the jury. at Z o'clock this evening,
returned the following verdict:
I'VE. the jury. find that James Con.
nors, Thomas Quinn and Harry Haley
came 10 their death in the Victor Jail
about q n. III. to-day from suffocation
by smoke. and we also believe tho fire
In the Jail was started by James Con-
nors. And we further find that the
night police force of this city were
careless in their duty by not visiting
the Jail at regular intervals"
