HUNDREDS ARE HOMELESS
Epecial Trains From Prescott
Carry Food and Clothes
for the Needy.
Entire Business Portion Of
Westminster, B. c., Also
Destroyed.

Prescott, Ariz., Sept. IL. The town
Of Jerome, near here, was wiped
out by fire during the night, entailing
a loss Of over $1,000, 900 in property.
Eleven bodies have SO far been recov.
cred while a score or more are said to
be in the ruins or missing. The fire
originated from gasoline stove in
cabin and spread SO rapidly and fiercely
that it was impossible to save even the
clothing. The fra was confined ex.
clusively to the business portion of the
town and the gap intervening between
it and the mammoth works Of the
United Verde company saved it, other.
wise the loss and suffering would have
been terrible. Many persons from
Jerome are arriving here on special
trains, while those remaining are to be
cared for by the company. The town
is situated in narrow gulch and ra.
vines leading to it, in which were
many wooden and stone buildings, the
latter melting as rapidly before the
flames as pasteboard.
Over One Hundred and Fifty Bulldogs,
averaging in value 1000. many mer-
chandise houses, saloons and general
stores were wiped out and nothing Of
the business portion remains. The
number Of people rendered homeless is
placed at 1900 and they are being
cared for by Messrs. Giroux and Cross
Of the mining company. Two special
trains left here for the scene Of the fire
carrying food and other material to
comfort the distressed, and a meeting
is being held to raise money for the
needy, of whom there are many. Loss
is complete. but little insurance being
written in that place owing to the
inadequate water supply. No efforts
are being made to extricate the re-
mains from the ruins, and until the
ground cools sufficiently to permit res.
cuers to approach tLc debris it will be
impossible to ascertain definitely the
names of the victims. Several promi.
nent men from the West are said to
have been in the town at the time and
are unaccounted for.

EMPEROR BEARS IT BRAVELY
His Fortitude, Despite the Ter
rible Shock, Causing
Admiration.
Messages of Coincidence Ar
irving From All Parts of
the World.

VIENNA, Sept. 12.-The planned fu.
neral of the late Empress Elizabeth,
who was assassinated by an anarchist
Saturday, contemplates bringing the
remains to Vienna next Thursday,
lying in state on Friday and the obse.
quies of interment on Saturday.
Every flag in the city is at halt mast
and the theaters, races and other
amusements are suspended indefinitely.
The 'emperor's fortitude is the topic of
universal admiration. He is bearing
up manfully, despite the terrible
shock, which, in view of his age, has
inspired the gravest apprehension. AL.
though at first stunned and then
slightly excited, he soon regained his
self.control and
Displayed remarkable Caimness.
Occasionally, however, completely
overpowdered by agitation. he moaned
piteously, repeatedly sobbing the name
of the empress. Addressing Prince
Won Lieccthstein, chief marshal of the
imperial household, he exclaimed:
at is inconceivable how man could
lift his hand against one who never in
her life harmed any body; one who did
great good" Then he moaned:
Nothing is spared to me in this
world"
Dispatches of coincidence are arriving
at the palace from all parts of the
world. testifying to profound horror
and sympathy. Among them are mes
sages from President Mckinley Emper-
or William and nearly all the European
sovereigns. The court will go into
mourning for six months.

THE ASSASSIN AN ITALIAN.
Says He Came tn Geneva to Kill "An-
other Important Person.

Says He Came tn Geneva to Kill can
other Important Person."
GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. H.,
The assassin of the empress of Austria,
Luigi Laochini, was born in Paris Of
Italian parents in 1878. After COM
mitting the crime he attempted to es.
cape but was captured by two cabmen
who witnessed the deed and was turned
over to a gendarme, who conveyed him
to the police station. The prisoner
made no resistance. He even sang as
he walked along, saying: II did it,
and she must be dead" At the police
station he declared that he was q
starving anarchist, with no hatred
for the poor, but only for the rich"
The assassin told the magistrate that
he came to Geneva in order to assas.
sinate another important person" I"
but had been unable to execute the
project. The reason Of his failure he
did not give, but he declared that it
was only by accident he had learned
Of the presence of the Austrian EN-.
press in Geneva.
His Blow Was True.
The empress, who had been stopping
at the Hotel Beaurivage for several
days, was walking from her hotel to
the landing place Of the steamer at
about o'clock, when Laochini sud-
denly approached and stabbed her to
the heart. The empress fell, got up
again and was carried to the steamer
unconscious.
The boat started, but, seeing the EN-.
press had not recovered consciousness,
the captain returned and the empress
was carried to the Hotel Beaurivage,
where she expired.
Doctors and priests were immedi.
ately summoned and telegram was
sent to Emperor Francis Joseph. The
medical examination showed that the
assassin must have used small ri.
angular file.

VANCOUVER, B. O.. Sept. 12.--New
Westminster, the chief city on Frazier
river, is in ruins. There is not build.

only smoking ashes mark the spots
where formerly scores of houses stood.
Handsome business houses, banks and
blocks went up in smoke. Over 400
people are homeless and help is being

from the roof of burning building
and was killed and a woman dropped
dead from fright. Two other women
who were i'll died while being taken

LONDON, Sept. l2.-The Manila cor"

The insurgent conquest of the island
