THE SCENE AT THE MORGUE
was narrowing. AS soon as the burn
ed and mangled were recovered they
we're taken there, where they were
washed and placed in presentable con-
dition.
Every victim was covered with blood
and dirt and almost every body was
scalded and charred. Bones protruded
from the charred and broken hands OF
some, and gaping wounds were found
here and there over the bodies.
The body of Capt. Berry was badly
mangled. His face was cut and crush
ed, his left hand severely scalded and
both legs were broken in many places.
The cuts were quickly sewed UP and
the body was perhaps the most pre-
sentable of all the victims.
The remains of William Scott, Jr.,
was a horrible sight His face was
covered with blood and his forehead
was cleft to the skull, which was
crushed and broken. His right hand
was bent as though he were in the
act of protecting his face when death
overlook him. Both hands had been
scalded and the flesh had peeled off
almost to the elbow. The breast was
in the same condition.
The injured were taken to the
Homeopathic Hospital, and as fast as
they were brought in were placed in
the emergency ward and scattered
through the various wards and in the
corridors. Most of them were not bad
ly hurt.
GEORGE LOVELESS,
one of the apparently least injured,
was able to get off the stretcher with
out assistance, but almost as soon as
he stood UP became faint and rapidly
became weaker. He went from one
fainting spell into another and sud
denly died at 2 o'clock from an in
ternal hemorrhage.
Robert Rosamond, lieutenant of No.
2 Engine Company, was found to have
both legs so badly crushed that ampu-
tation was necessary. He bore the OPP
Grafton we'll, and his fine constitution
will, it is thought, preclude fatal re-
suits.
Captain ]. A. A. Brown had his
broken leg set and was resting easy
this morning. The others with one or
two exceptions were not seriously in
jured, and it is thought will recover.
The explosions were caused by the
bursting of large tanks filled with am
monia used in the manufacture OF ice.

score for such a high class team, but

a KENTUCKY ELECTION LAW,
Republicans Fear That il it Passes 1t VIII
Shut Them Out.


Frankfort, Ky, February 10.-The
State Senate, by vote of 20, sufficient
to pass a bill over a veto, to-day passed
the Goebel elections, or Force bill,
and sent it to the House, where 1t is
nearly sure to go through in time to
get a veto from the Governor, back
and passed upon before adjournment
This has created the widest political
excitement here and throughout the
State, the Republicans admitting that
if the bill becomes law theey can
never carry the State or any important
election therein again.
The bill provides that all future cleo
tions shall be under the control OF
State commission of three, to be elect
ed by the present Legislature and TO
hold their offices for four years They
are to appoint three commissioners in
each county, who shall in turn APP
point all the elective and registration
officers for their respective counties.

Mike Farragher is in Bridgeport
again, and the object of his visit is
said to be the arrangement of another
contest with "Buck" Stolzer. Stoizer
is matched to fight Charley Burns, ana
II is nor improbable that FarragheI
will challenge the winner of the con
test.
Farragher will not be satisfied until
he has evened up matters with Stolzer.
Their first contest resulted in We
tory for the Columbus boy, and the
second was a draw after twenty
rounds of hard fighting. Farragher
came to Bridgeport in answer to tel
egram stating that matters look ia
vorable here for another contest with
StolZer.
Before leaving Youngstown Farragh-
err expressed confidence IN his ability
TO best Stolzer in the event that the
two again enter the ring together.
To a Vindicator man he stated that
he would insist upon Stolzer reducing
his weight for limited round go
but he would agree to fight him to a
decision at catch weights. Mikes
manager holds to the same opinion,
and it is very likely that the men VIII
lie matched if StolZer bests Burns.

HAS ALIASES TO SPARE
PAIR OF ALLEGED BURGLARS IN
DEEP WATER
One Is Arrested on a New Crime. the
Breaking of an Old Parole and
an Indictment for a Theft Com
mitted Four Years Ago-PoItce
Are Diligently Looking for Two
Others.

FROM developments yesterday in con-
nectlon with the two alleged burglars
John Atwood and Matthias Brown. the
latter alias Paul Davis, alias Harvey,
arrested early yesterday morning
while in the act Of robbing Herman
Schwabers saloon, 1854 Jackson street,
the police claim that the capture is
important, in that Brown, whose cor
rect name is said to be Paul Davis, is
alleged to be an extraordinarily clever
thief. Little is known of Atwood by
the local authorities, but 1T is believed
that he is also dangerous man.
In addition to the original charge
of burglary, upon which Davis was ar
rested, he is now charged with grand
larceny and an attempt at burglary.
The grand larceny charge is nearly
four years old, but the police have the
warrant charging the offense to Davis,
and sufficient evidence, they claim, to
send him to the penitentiary. The case
concerns the theft Of SIS worth of
wearing apparel from Mannheimer
Bros store Aug. 10, 1894 Davis was
charge. and this case was not prose-
cuted, as, when released on parole, he
promised to leave the state.
The charge of attempted burglary is
made by Samuel Rachaelman, tailor
at 1S1 West Third street, who identi-
fled Davis as the man who, last Thurs
day, tried to burglarize his place of
business Rachaelman was asleep in
the shop with the door locked, when he
was awakened by some one turning a
key in the door. He found a man,
whom he says Is Davis, trying a key
in the lock. = g3aais
Chief Schweitzer says Davis is one OF
the cleverest daylight "prowlers'' In
the Northwest. His speciality Is said to
be robbing flats and dwelling houses
He is said to be an expert at picking
locks. Chief Schweitzer says he has
no doubt but that Davis is the man
who burglarized the apartments of M.
E. Nichols, in the Newport flats week
ago last Saturday.
The police say there were four men
in the Schwabel saloon robbery, and
a search is being made for the other
two burglars.
Davis and Atwood will be arraigned
in the municipal court today.

VICTORY, FOR THE CITY.
Suits Against 1t May Be Tried in It's
Court


Court.
In the case of c. E. Dickerman against the
city of st. Paul, the supreme court yester
day decided that an appeal may be taken
from a justice court to the municipal court
in civil action against the city of ST. Paul.
This is a reversal of the conclusion reached
by the Ramsey county district court
The case was brought up by c. E. Dicker-
man, who had a small claim against the
city, which he sued out in justice court and
won.
The city sought an appeal to the munich
pal court, and Dtckerman set I'D the claim
that, under the law of 1885, chapter 351 a
civil action against the city could not be
taken into the municipal court. The dis
trict court held with Dickerman The sec
ton referred to is part Of the law extending
cases involving $500 to those involving $500.
This section provides that the Jurisdiction
shall not apply to civil actions against the
city.
The court finds, however, that section 2S, of
the same act, expressly provides for appeal Is
from the justice court in such actions. There
fore, there is no bar to an appeal, and 1t Is
allowing an appeal to the municipal court,
while refusing that court original 1urisdic-
ton
The city is not allowed the statutory costs
in the case, however, because it was ar
ranged for oral argument, contrary to the
rules Of the court.
In the syllabus the court says:
An appeal lies, from the Judgment of a
justice of the peace in the city Of St. Paul.
