BIG FACTORY BURNS.
Fire in Detroit, Mich, Causes Ruin
and Death.
One Man Jumps from q Third-stoFy
Window and Ia Killed, and An
other 10 SufYOcated-Eight
Injured.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 17.-As q result
of a fire which started soon after one
o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the
cupied by the Witchell Brothers Com
pany, Limited, manufacturers of elk
skin shoes, two men are dead and eight
persons are more or less seriously hurt.
The dead are:
Alonzo D. Ireson, shoemaker, aged ~
jumped from third-story window; Ernest
Lizette. laster. smothered on third floor.
Injured: Jennie McTaggart, aged IL,
dition serious; Augustine Sapurta, hip and
ribs broken and burns. condition serious:
Charles Dessotell, aged IS. broken leg and
kneecap. condition serious; Charles O'Con-
nor. shoemaker, fractured knee and burns
about head and arms; Joseph Pullare, la
borer, bad burns. scalp wound and bruised:
Minnie Corbett. aged %. burns about hands
and arms; Daniel Cardinell, aged 46. in
ternal injuries and spine injured, severely
burned; Mabel Straight, aged Is, severe
burns. Several other employees received
lesser injuries but were not taken to the
hospitals.
The fire started in the basement,
which was used as storeroom for
boxes and lumber. At first it was
thought barrels of rubber cement had
exploded. These were stored in an
area way under the alley, but after the
fire was extinguished, the barrels were
found to be intact. The origin remains
a mystery. The flames spread SO rap
idly that none of the employees who
were on the second and third floors
were able to escape by the stairway.
The girls employed in the building
were on the third floor, and when the
cry of fire was raised they became
panic stricken, and rushed for the
windows, where general fight fol-
lowed in the efforts to get out. The
fremen took several girls from tho
third-story front windows, while 9TH
ers escaped from the rear by means Of
fire escapes.
Lcnped to His Death.
Alonzo D. Ireson jumped from the
third-story front window, and in fall
ing brought with him a large sign fas-
tened to a ledge on the second story,
to which three persons were hanging.
This precipitated all to the stone side
walk, and Ireson was instantly killed.
The others escaped with lesser in
jurfes.
O. Mitchell, the junior member Of
the firm, said that the stock on hand,
which was totally destroyed, was val
ued at about $4,000, with $4,000 in
surance on stock and fixtures.

Lansford, Pa, Oct. 17.-About 1900
men and 60 women and girls marched
Is miles from the South Side Hazleton
region during the night for the Pan
ther Creek Valley, where they expect
ed to close all of the ten collieries Of
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation COM
pany, but just as the weary march
ers were nearing their destination
Tuesday morning they were met on q
mountain road by three companies Of
infantry and at the point of the bay
onet were driven back four miles to
Tamaqua and dispersed. Another
crowd of 800 strikers from the north
side of Hazleton also marched here
and succeeded in closing the COM
pany's No. colliery at Nesquehonins,
near Mauch Chunk, before it was
scattered. The presence Of the sol
diers was entirely unexpected and the
strikers were much crestfallen that
they failed in accomplishing the OBJ
ject Of their long march.
Philadelphia, Oct. ia secret con-
ference was held Tuesday in the Office
of the Philadelphia & Reading Rail-
way company between representatives
of various coal-carrying railroads and
a number of individual operators. The
participants were pledged to secrecy
al to the object of the consultation
and nothing could be learned of what
TRANSFERRED. There were two sessions
of the conference. The first began at
II o'clock in the morning and contin-
ued until one o'clock in the afternoon.
After an adjournment for lunch an
other meeting was held, continuing
until nearly five o'clock. After the
consultation George F. Baer remarked
in general way that it might be
some days before settlement of the
strike is reached.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE rep
resentatives of the coal-carrying COM
panies here have been in communities
ton with headquarters in New York
regarding the settlement of the
miners strike. The resolutions adopt
ed by the Scranton convention were
mailed to all the coal companies and
individual operators. They all bore
the seal of the United Mine Workers
organization and there was a request
that prompt reply to the commune
cation would be thankfully received.
The communication still remains on
the desks of some of the coal COM
panies unopened. The, reason for this
is some of the operators do not want
to commit themselves in any way as
recognizing the miners union. To
enter into any negotiations with the
officers of the organization would, in
the opinion of the operators, be an
admission that the operators recog-
nized the union. The strikers here
profess not to be discouraged with the
outlook. They say eventually the
companies will give in and the men
will be ordered back to work.
Shamokin, Pa, Oct. 17.-Miners in
this region are disappointed over the
failureof the operators up to this time
to concedc to the terms of the Scran-
ton convention. 1t was fully expected
that by this time the operators and
coal carrying companies would have
announced their determination to &C.
.cede to the demands of the men. Al
yet no cases of restitution among the
men have been reported to strike
leaders.
