A WILD RUSH FOR LIFE.
Fsctory-Two Persons Killed
and Many Hurt

Detroit, Mich, Oct. l7.-As result
of fire which started soon after one
o'clock yesterday afternoon in the
| building at No. Is jefferson avenue,
occupied by Twitchell Brothers Co.,

| shoes, two men are dead and eight
| persons more or less seriously hurt,
while several other employees, who re-
ceived lesser injuries, were not taken
to the hospitals.
The fire started in the basement,
which was used as a storeroom for
boxes and lumber. At first il was
thought some barrels of rubber ce-
ment had exploded. But after the fire
was extinguished the barrels were
found to be intact. The origin re-
mains a mystery.
The flames spread so rapidly that
none of the employees on the second
and third floors were able to escape by
the stairway.
The girls employed in the build
ing were OH the third floor, and when
the cry of fire was raised they be-
came panic-stricken, and rushed for
the windows, where general fight
followed in the efforts to get out. The
firemen took several girls from the
third-story front windows while 9TH
ers escaped from the rear by means
of fire escapes.
Alonzo d. Ireson jumped from the
front window and, in fall
ing. brought with him a large sign
fastened to ledge on the second
story to which three persons were
hanging. This precipitated all to the
sidewalk, and lreson was instantly
xilled. The Others escaped with lessee y

A NOTEWORTHY ACT.
How Gen. Chaffee Restrained Nat
turaI Ambition.

London, Oct. 16.-Dr. Morrison, in
the Times this morning, describes the
occupation of Pekin and the demon
stration at the Forbidden City. In
connection with the latter incident he
emphasizes the self-denial of Gen.
Chaffee, which has not received, he
says, proper recognition.
"The American troops, on the 18th,
the correspondent remarks, fought
their way, driving the Chinese in
front of them to the gateway. There
was then no agreement to hold Gen.
Chaffee back. He might have pressed
on, taking the palace and hoisted the
Stars and Stripes. II would have been
a fine prize, and the temptation must
have been great; but Gen. Chatfee,
possibly acting under Mr.. Conger's
advice, refrained. 1t was a note
worthy act"

PANTHER CREEK VALLEY.
An Army Of Miners, in Two Divis-

by Separate Roads.

Nearly as Quiet as Usual.

Lansford, Pa, Oct. 17.-More than
1000 striking mine workers made a
descent upon the ten collieries of the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Co., in the
Panther Creek valley. They came to
this place by two separate roads One
crowd shut up the Nesquehoning col
liery, while the other mob was driven
back to Tamaqua and dispersed by a
battalion of troops had been ordered
to the district, Monday night in an
ticipation of the march.
The March to the Valley.
The march on Panther Creek val
ley was on the strikers programme
for several days. The United Mine
Workers, ever since the strike started,
have been attempting to close the col
lieries of the Lehigh Coal and Naviga-
ton Co. in this region. Organizers
were constantly in the region, but, as
a rule, they did not meet with much
success, so it was decided to use
stronger methods to get the men EN-
ployed in the ten mines out on strike.
Accordingly it was arranged that
big demonstration should be held in
the valley. 1t was to have been held
Monday morning, but owing to the
heavy rains and muddy roads it was
called off. Those who took part were
strikers from McAdoo, Yorktown,
Bunker Hill and Silver Brook, from the
south side of Hazleton, and the Free
land, Drifton, Jeddo and Beaver
Meadow strikers from the north side.
A contingent of women and girlscame
from McAdoo, which borough is the
only one in the Hazleton region
which has organized female march
ers.
