LATEST FROM DAWSON.
rwenty-Two Klondikcrs Arrive on inc

Seattle. Jan. 19.-Twenty-two per-
sons arrived here tonight from Dawson
CITY on the steamer Corona, bringing
with them a small amount OF gold DUST
and drafts on the North American
Trading & Transportation Company ana
the Alaska Commercial Company
amounting to between 100000 and
Sl.OOO.O 900. In the party was one
woman, the only woman to come on.
this winter. The party consisted OF

II. l.. Burt and Miss Lou Keller.
The amount of drafts brought down
represents the proceeds Of sales OF
claims to the Cudahy, Healy, Yukon q
Klondike mining companies and private
parties. The largest individual amounts
we're brought by the following:
D. Campbell, $3.50. 600; +. II. Jen-

$l5, 900.
In reference to the food situation at
Dawson, tonight's arrivals corroborate
previous reports that, while food is
scarce, there will be no starvation.
They consider that it will be mpossible
to get relief exedition in at this sea-
son of the year.
Relief expeditions can easily reach
the foot of Lake Laparge, but the trou-
BILE will begin when the Yukon river is
reached. The Yukon is filled from
shore to shore with great ice ridges
from 10 to 90 feet high, the ice being
thrown up in great blocks, and stand
ing at all sorts OF angles. Men with
dogs can make their way by huggnq
the shore, but no great amount of sup
plies can be carried with dog teams. A
roadway can be cut through these ice
ridges, but it would require a great
amount OF money, and it is doubtful il
the work could be completed before the
ice moved out OF the river in the spring.
The proposed use of reindeer in this
country is considered entirely imprac
ticable.

in Realistic Manner.

Chicago, Jan. ia special to the
Times Herald from Bourbon, In1.,
says: Rev. Mr.. Akin, pastor of the
Bethel church, on Sunday night took
for his theme "Iiis Satanic Majesty. "
He is an eloquent man, and he painted
the arch .fiend in vivid colors. At the
climax of the description, being
dressed to represent devil, with a
large head and switching tail, ambled
up the aisle, blowing smoke from its
nostris and believing:
II am the devil, and 1 want all of

The audience became panc.stricken

fire had made such Roadway that all
attempts to save the church were in
vain.
This morning George Akin, son OF
the pastor, confessed that he, in com.
pany with other boys, rugged up devi
suit. and. knowing the subject OF his
fathers sermon, concealed himself

through Fort Smith Tuesday night.
Not less than 70 others are injured, a

The work of removing the bodies
from the ruined buildings progressed
today. Five new names were added
to the list of the dead Two bodies
were dug from the ruins of the Smith
block, from which IL had previously
been taken.
The full extent of the storm may be
comprehended from the fact that 30
miles northeast of the city quantity
of tin roofing from Garrison avenue
buildings was found. A woman was
taken from the ruins of the Burgess no.
tel today, and was identified as Mrs
Ida Innis, of Elm Spring, Ark. Her

ACCIDENT. IT is SAID
n.u.bter of Ex-senator Blackburn eho'
Herself.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-In her apart
uents in the Wellington hotel last
n;obt Mrs. Lucille Lane, youngest
day,bter of ex-senator Blackburn, OF
Kentucky, shot herself. According 10
the statement given out by the family
Tho shooting was accidental. Both
Mrs. Lanes physicians refused 10 us
cuss the subject, even to the extent vi
saving whether or not the wound wouia
nrove fatal. but from the best that can
be learned she will probably recover
aI,hnnoh now suffering severely from
the shock.
A friend of the family nominated to
c;va ont a statement said that about
ni5pight Saturday Mrs. Lane was pre-
naring TO retire. Her husband at the
time was in the adjoining room look
ING over a paper. Mrs. Lane opened a
bureau drawer to get handKerchlel,
and picked up handful of gloves ana
laces which had been tossed together
in the drawer. Under this fluffy mass
was tiny lady's pistol, a gift TO Mrs.
Lane from her father, and a possession
If which she was particularly fond. 1t
caught in piece of lace as she raised
her hand. and, falling Of its own weight,
struck the hammer on the edge OF
the omen drawer The pistol exploded,
and the ball penetrated her left breast
What became of the ball it is impossi-
bic to say. According to the statement
given out. it struck rib and ranged
around beneath the lett shoulder, max
ing a superficial wound. At the same
time it is said Mrs. Lane is suffering
so from the shock that the physicians
have devoted all their energies to ailay-
ing her pain without attempting to
definitely ascertain the extent OF the
injury. The most precise statement
that either physician would make to-
night was that Mrs. Lane would prob
ably live until morning.
At the. request of the family, the
block in which the hotel is situated
has been roped off. Ex-senator Black
burn is deeply affected by the occur
renee. He does not live with his
daughter, and when the affair occur
red was summoned from his room on
New York avenue, remaining thereafter
at Mrs. Lanes hotel.
