Two Society ssRingers."

Mrs. Joh Jacob Astor and Mrs. j. s.
Bache of New York are described as
ringers" Though there Is no relation
ship between them they are by a Curl
u coincidence as much alike as two
peas not only in appearance, but in re-
gard to their manner of dressing, both
as to fashion and color. Their hats.
and ever the little dogs hat pull on a
leader when their owners walk on the
avenue on bright days. all d to the
general impossibility of the strange to
distinguish ''t'other from which,"
1t is not possible to imagine that Mrs.
Astor consults anyone or wears any,
thing anybody else wears. She has her
own style and affects certain colors and
modes. Neither is 1t possible to sus-
pect that Mrs. Bache would follow any
woman's style. for she is also n Of
the best-dressed women in the city. But,
by a strange coincidence. Mrs. Aston
and Mrs. Bache think alike n are
alike-on the subject of appearance, at
least.
The faces of these women are totally
different; their figures. carriage and
tout ensemble exactly alike. In the
shops the resemblance is so striking
that those who are in the habit of serv-
ing Mrs. Aston are always certain the
lady entering the door is Mrs. Aston
until they have gone to the front in
readiness to wait upon this woman and
find themselves called upon to serve
Mrs. Bache, who, they say, is not quite
so particular.

SEARCHING THE RUINS
RUBBISH CLEARED AWAY


+, The workmen searching the ruins of
the Hale house for the bodies of Mar
tin Rooney and Dan j. Sullivan found
nothing to reward their efforts yester-
day more important han a few ruined
watches, trinkets of n kind or an
other and a few small coins. The force
employed made good Roadway during
the day in clearing away the rubbish,
and now only a portion OF the most
easterly compartment OF the building
remains to be cleaned out. 1t is In this
section of h ruins that the two re-
mainine missing men are believed to
be buried and with the progress made
yesterday their bodies should be reach
ed to-day or tomorrow at the latest.
The funeral Of John Sheehan was held
yesterday from the family residence.
The services were very simple. They
were conducted by the A. o. u. w. n
Maccabees, Sheehan having been a
member Of both orders. The body was
buried in the Catholic cemetery.
Nothing has as yet been done win
the body supposed to be that OF kreig-
baum, the relatives preferring to walt
till the remaining bodies are
in the hope that circumstances may
make the identification more certain. III
there IL anything by which the two yet
undiscovered bodies a be identihed
as Sullivan and Rooney there will then
be no doubt about the body now at the
undertaker's being that of Kriegbaum,
and the relatives will then ship the re-
mains to Utah for burial.
The amount of valuables found In the
ruins has been much smaller han was
expected, as there was considerable
money and jewelry lost. That no more
has been found has been due to the hur-
ried manner in which the search has
been carried on with the object In view
OF reaching the bodies as quickly as
possible. The fact has been quite prof
table for a number of boys who have
camped daily at the dump and raked
over the debris as II In deposited. Sew
eral gold watches. some jewelry and
found by them.
II was not known till yesterday that
only good fortune interviewed to pre-
vent another serious fire the morning
following the burning of the Hale house
and in the same locality. 1t was while
the excitement attending the burning
of the big boarding house was still at It's
height that a miner who rooms with
Mrs. Ryan at the boarding house ad-
Joining the Hale house on the west.
knocked over a lighted candle in the
cellar. He left the basement without
observing what he had done and a few
minutes later a servant having occa-
sion to go down stairs. found the cellar
filled with smoke and a fire getting q
rood start. The alarm was given and
the fire quickly put out by the inmates
of the house. But for the timely dis
covery the boarding house might have
suffered the same fate as the Hale
house.
The dances given Thursday evening
for the benefit of the Hale house serv-
ant girls netted nearly 81 1000, which
will be divided among the young wo-
men as o as the collections are al
made from persons who sold tickets.

afternoon and the Ohio river flowed
over the town many feet deep. Scores
of houses are floating about tonight
and many persons are clinging to the
wreckage in the hope that rescuers VIII

places OF safety.
All communication with the town Is
cut of. Trains cannot reach there ard
telephone and telegraph wires are down.
The first report that reached here was
that the entire population had been
drowned, but this Is not confirmed.
The levee was built by the govern
ment and was regarded as impregnable.
hence the people a taken no precau-
tons against a possible flood. 1t Is re-
ported that the water extends for 10
miles inland and people are fleeing Tor
their lives in all the lowland hamlets.

A Dam Gave Away.

Chicago. April AT 1880 o'clock this
morning the operator at the long dis
lance telephone company's Office at
Mount Vernon. Ind, informed the as
ISOLATED press that the estimate on the
loss OF life at Shawneetown was. at
that hour, 200. lou Vernon Is but 80
miles from Shawneetown. and the IN
formation on which the estimate Is
based is believed to be reliable. n
operator stated that the company's
wires to the stricken city failed soon
after 4 o'clock this afternoon. At that
hour IL was known the dam was giving
away, but IL was not thought ii would
go to pieces quickly enough to cause
loss Of life. BY s o'clock 1t was known
in Mount Vernon that many people had
been drowned, the estimate then being
100. A relief Va bearing food, blan-
kets and surgeons was started down
the river and was expected to reach
Shawneetown before morning.
Gradually the reports OF loss OF life
increased. the estimates. stories COM
ing from various points near the scene
of the flood. showing clearly that the
disaster was far more appalling than
was at first believed. People at Mount
Vernon and surrounding towns be-
sieged the telegraph offices frantically
asking for tidings from friends and
relatives in the flooded town. No at
tempt at an accurate list of the lost
was possible, however, and the crowds
stood all night before the bulletin
boards. on which were posted the
meager reports being received.

Partition OF China Begun.

London, April 4.-The Times explains
that the hinterland of Wei Hal Wei is
a portion of the province of Shan Tung
and therefore Germany's sphere. The
editorials in the morning papers eX-
press satisfaction at the news, espe-
cialIy as implying an understanding
between England and Japan.
The Daily Chronicle n the Daily
News. although they admit the ad-
vantages, have considerable doubts as
to the wisdom of the policy which
seems likely to irritate Germany and
perhaps Russia also.
The Daily Chronicle says; 1t means
that the policy of an open door is
frankly abandoned and the partition OF
China actively begun. 1t is therefore
an admission of the failure of British
aims

An Appeai To IN. Insurgents.

Washington. April 3.-The Spanish
minister has received a telegram from
Havana stating that the
abine has addressed an appeal to the
insurgents. asking them to adjust an
armistice to fix terms of peace. The
full text of the message could not be
secured tonight, as its translation was
not made at the legation.
The insurgents are appealed 10 on
the ground that they are all Cubans,
and should unite for peace and liberty,
which all want. The appeal also states
that Spain Is willing to enlarge the
present scope of autonomy. and viii
suggest such a plan to the cortes, which
is soon TO meet.

From the London News.
A Judge at the little town of Waid-

and the incident resulted In his retire
ment. The judge is a strict, business
like man. who will stand no nonsense
from anybody, and one morning he

the lay assessors or turymen usually
