ted to the British foreign office that
the officials have made it rule Meth

COMING WEST.
An Exodus of GIassworkers From
New Jersey.

new Jersey.
PHILADELPHIA, December 2S.-
Sixty-one glassworkers have left their
homes in Bridgeton, N. j., to accept
positions in factories in the west. They
came to this city in a body and boarded
a special car at the Pennsylvania reil-
way station for Pittsburg. According
to their statements hundreds of others
will follow in few days.
A member of the party said to a re-
porter: ''Scme of US are going to Belle
Vernon, Pa. near Pittsburg, while
others will go to glass factories in
Ohio and Indiana. All in the party
are from Bridgeton and about 500 men,
all told, will leave that place for the
west.
The cause of this is the decision of
the syndicate not to open the Bridge
ton factories this winter We make
from SIS to $50 per week during the
season, and closing the factories means
the taking out OF Bridgeton about $10,-
900 each week."

ton of the wrapper His desk was
open the greater part of the day and
in the evening Cornish said he took the
bottle, bottle holder and address home
with him. Cornish was then shown
the poison bottle and the holder and
identified them. Shortly after reaching
home that evening, he said, Mrs. Adams
came in. He showed the things to her,
and they both commented on the SINH
larity between the bottle holder and
some small toilet trinkets she had on
her dressing case. He said he told
Mrs. Adams that he had no use for the
holder and gave it to her, and that he
was now positive that she put it on her
dressing table. He put the supposed
bromo seltzer and the wrapper in his
own desk in his room and left them
there.
The Next Morning,
while he was reading the paper, Mrs.
Rogers came to his room, Cornish said,
ana told him that her mother was i'll;
that she had a headache and wanted
him to give her some bromo seltzer.
He said he gave the bottle to Mrs.
Rogers, who took it out of the room.
A moment later Mrs. Adams returned
with the bottle and said she could not
open it.
Mr.. Osborne here interposed:
'Oh, yes, Cornish, | forgot to ask
you if the bottle was sealed?"
1T was" replied the witness, sealed
with paraffine wax"
Continuing his narrative. Cornish
told of opening the bottle while Mrs.
Adams brought a glass for him to pour
out a dose of the bromo seltzer. He
poured out what he termed "a good,
big dose and Mrs. Adams drank it, re-
marking at the time, Cornish testified,
that sit tasted sour and queer"
Il told her." continued Cornish, that
the stuff was all right, and took a dose
of it myself, though may be not so
large a one as she did. She then went
out, and I sat down and commenced
reading my paper. 1t was not moro
than two or three minutes afterward
that she cried out to me to come and
help her. | jumped up and ran to
where she stood in the dining room.
At the time l had felt no effects of the
stuff, but as soon as l got up my knees

ST. PAUL SURVIVOR
Safe at San Francisco, After At
tempting the Edmonton Trail.

Safe ut San Francisco, After At
tempting the Edmonton Trail.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 1.-Among the
crew of the Whaler Mary D. Hume, just
arrived here, are six disappointed gold
seekers, who went into the arctic region
over the Edmonton route. They shipped
on the Whaler at HerSchel island, at the
mouth of the Mackenzie river, which they
reached after much priYation. Their
names are: B. V. Lares, St. Paul; K.
Martin, F. T. Thompson, f. Adelman, w.
S. Mason and F. Sisk, all of Chicago;
Thomas T. Tiptcn, Edmonton, n. w. T.,
and W. McGinn, Sheboygan, Mich.
Martin had perhaps the most dreadful
experience of the lot At Mcpherson he
refused to follow his friends further in
the search for gold, and meeting S. 7.
Anderson and Paul Schneider, of Britain,
S. D., the three decided to return home,
up the Mackenzie. They got scarcely
moro than 100 miles on the journey when
winter set in, and the three were COM
PEELED to prepare shelter for the long
stormy season. Anderson and Schneider
were attacked with scurvy. Both became
very i'll and almost helpless.
Fifty miles away was physician in
winter quarters with party of belated
and discouraged miners, and twice Mar
tin attempted to make the journey to the
camp to secure medicines for his SICK
comrades. When he came back with
medicines he found the body Of Ander-
son. The other man was near death.
Schneider improved as the medicines were
administered, and when he gained suf-
cient strength to move Martin construct
ed a sled and dragged his companion
back over the snow to Mcpherson, and
there left him. When spring came Mar
tin sought succor from the whalers.
Among those who died at Fort McPher-
son from scurvy was ex-Mayor Stewart,
of Hamilton, Ont
Adelnan, Sisk and Thompson were on
the shores OF the ocean, at the mouth OF
the river, when the winter closed in, and
there they remained for nearly seven
months. They were free from scurvy, and
they say they owe life and health to the
kindness of the natives, who supplied
them with fresh meat.
''While we were at Herschel island,
said Capt Hogarty, -four men arrived
there in harness, drawing sleds. They
had walked all the way from Sitka. They
had been to Dawson thence up the Yukon
and Porcupine, and thence straight across
the mountains on a wildgoose chase for
gold They stayed over night at Herschel.
and pulled out for the south, facing the
trackIess and illimitable waste. l gave
them some deer meat. They had only
a little bacon and flour, and said they
ate very little"

house and the east end of the Holmes
company's sheds were a mass of flames
which were spreading rapidly
SCATTERED BY GALE.
When the first pieces of fire apparatus
arrived the roof of the warehouse was all
on fire and the terrific wind was scatter
ing fire in every direction. The first alarm
was received at 4:07 and was followed at
Ala by second alarm; by a third alarm
at 4:l9, and by general alarm calling
every piece of fire apparatus in Min
neapolis to the spot at ABS, by which lime
the fire had gained great headway and
threatened with the aid of the wind TO do
vast damage.
Between the time the box alarm came
IN ana the time a general alarm was
sent IN IRE alarms had also been sent in
from Second avenue northeast and Main
street and from Summer and Munroe
streets, which, complicated with the sec
ond and third alarms sent in resulted in
fire apparatus driving over half the East
slde IN an endeavor to find where it
should go.
Lines of hose were quickly laid on the
south, rear and north sides of the ware
mouse. When the apparatus arrived at
the scene of the fire in response to the
second alarm the Simpson and Djfin
homes were untouched by the flames, al
though the families were moving out for
fear, as were families across the street
The firemen seemed to be concentrating
their energies in pouring water into he
burning warehouse and paid no atten-
tion to the little homes until it was too
late to save them, although they did
easily save the one-story frame Office of
the sash and door company at Central
avenue which adjoins the destroy5 ware
houses.
The wind was blowing away from the
Woodward Holmes plant, and this fact
alone saved it from destruction. A Hr-
feet whirlwind, augmented by the heat
from the burning warehouses; blew
around Central and Third avenues, and
for blocks pail of smoke hung over the
homes in the path of the wind. The sun
could be seen glowing intensely red
through the dense smoke, and frightened.
