FIRE CAUSES DEATH.
Destruction of a Big Factory in
Detroit, Mich.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 17.-As a result
Of a fire which started soon after one
o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the
building at No. IS Jefferson avenue, oc-
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 40.
jumped from third-story window; Ernest
Lizette, laster, smothered on third floor.
Injured: Jennie McTaggart. aged is,
skull fractured and Internal injuries, con-
dttion serious: Augustine Sapurta, hip and
ribs broken and burns, condition serious;
Charles Dessotell, aged IS, broker 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 IS, 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 a 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 t. 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 a general fight fol-
lowed in the efforts to get out. The
fremen took several girls from the
third-story front windows, while 9TH
ers escaped from the real by means of
fire escapes.
Leaped 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
juries.
o. Witchell, the junior member of
the firm, said hat the stock on hand,
which was totally destroyed, was val
ued at about 100000, with SIS, 900 in
surance on stock and fixtures.

LACEY'S MEETINGS.
Greeted by Big Crowds Every
where He Goes.

Abba, Iowa, Oct. 16.-Congressmau
John F. Lacey had a splendid meet.
ing at Hooking last evening. The
big hall was packed and as many
more stood up outside and caught
what they could of Mr.. Lacey's
speech through the windows. Mr.
Lacey talked for over two hours and
held the closest attention of his hear
ers throughout. From present indi-
cations Monroe county will give Maj,
or Lacey a good majority.
Lacey at Humboldt.
Humboldt, Oct. 16.-Whatever may
be the situation in the rest of the
state, this locality is wide awake and
full of political energy. Before the
time for the meeting to open on Sat
urday night the opera house was
crowded full to hear Hon. John F.
Lacey, and more people we're turned
away from the door than found seats
within. Forty old Fremont veterans
sat upon the stage. Humboldt coun-
ty is surely in for a record breaker.
Lacey at EarIviIIe.
Earlville, Oct, 16.-Congressman
Lacey delivered an excellent address
to a large audience here Friday night
1t created a very favorable impress
ion. Count on 1000 majority for Me-
Kinley in old Delaware.

Distress Is Evident.
Would XIII Sheep Industry.

Des Moines, Oct. 13.-1n view of the
great increase in the wool industry
in Iowa it is important to know what
Mr.. Bryan said in regard to free wool.
In a speech in congress January 10,
1894, he declared in the strongest Ian
guage for free wool and just six years
later in IN interview at Columbia, Mo-,
he stated most emphatically that he
had made no statement whatever to
the effect that he had changed his
former views on the wool question.
He said it was immaterial whether
the sheep grower received any benefit
from the tariff or not.

outlook. They say eventually the
companies will give in and the men
will be ordered back to work.
Miners Disappointed.
]Shamokin, Pa, Oct. 17.-Miners in
this region are disappointed over the
failureof the operators up to this time
to concede 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 ac-
cede to the demands of the men. As
vet no cases of restitution among the
men have been reported to strike
leaders.
Causes No Surprise.
Washington, Oct. 17.-The cable dis
patch from St. Petersburg indicating
that Russia's attitude in China will
be independent of the concert of the
powers caused no surprise among Off
Gals here. 1t was noted when the ag-
gressive military movement was be-
gun by Germany, and the expedition
against Paoting-Fu started, that Rus
STA was among the powers which did
not Join in the movement. The dis
patch from St. Petersburg is looked
upon as merely another step similar
to that taken when Russia withheld
support from the Paoting-Fu eXpedi-
ton and other aggressive military
moves. Moreover, it is regarded as
quite in with the pacific
tendencies of this government, which
have been directed all along to secur-
ing a settlement by diplomatic means
rather than by the sword.
Much Cox Used.
Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. Nv. E.
Wilson, secretary-treasurer of the
United Mine Workers, says that the
anthracite coal consumers are using
great amounts of coke instead of coal
He says the coke supply, however, Is
limited. The Prick ovens in Pennsyl-
vania and others cannot meet the de-
mand. In most instances, Mr.. Wilson
says, coke can be substituted for an
thracite coal. The coke oven owners
are reaping a great harvest on ac-
count of the demand for coke, Prices
have been advanced.
Distress Is Evident.
Asked if there is any real suffering
among the miners, Mr.. Wilson said:
"When l left the anthracite region, a
few days ago, suffering was apparent
in some places. Real distress is be-
coming evident in many homes, but
this fact does not break the courage
of the great army of strikers"

MARCH WAS FUTILE.
Soldiers Spoil the Plans of the
Strikers.

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
Their 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 a
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. l c~olliery at Nesquehoning,
near Mauch Chunk, before it was
scattered. The presence of the sol
diers was entirely unexpected and the
strikers were much crestfallen hat
they failed in accomplishing the OBJ
iect of their long march.
secret Conference Held.
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
as to the object of the consultation
and nothing could be learned of what
transpired. There were two sessions
of the conference. The first began at
IL 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 a general way that it might be
some days before a settlement of the
strike is reached.
Won't Recognize Union.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE rep
resentatives of the coal-carrying COM
panies here have been in communica-
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 a prompt reply to the communi'
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, Tc
enter into any negotiations with the
officers of the organization would, in
the opinion of the operators, be ar
admission that the operators recog'
nized the union, The strikers here
profess not to be discouraged with thu

that the years profits of the De Beers
Company amounted to 100000 he
spoke of the chartered company's
transactions with De Beers, and said
that the shareholders we're divided into
two classes-imaginative and unimagin-

lives filling moneybags that are dissipat-
ed by their offspring ON wine, women
and horses. To the latter class, he
stated that the transaction with the
Chartered Company had closed salts

owned all the diamonds wherever its
charter existed To the imaginative he
drew an eloquent picture of these mines

PLANT IN THE NUUANU
VALLEY.
Large Quantity of Clay That Makes a
Very Good Product-Work to Begin
Next Monday

The Honolulu Clay Company
will begin the making of bricks
from Nuuanu Valley clay next
Monday, having put up a large
plant in the valley. Experiments
made with the clay have produced
samples of brick that are said to
compare very favorably with the
best products in the States. The
company's enterprise is the first
one of the kind on the islands and
will relieve business men here of
the necessity OF sending to the
coast for one very important ma
terial that is used in large quanti-
ties. The local company will be
able to undercut the prices of clay
from the coast by a good margin.
There are three acres in the tract
upon which the company is now
working. 1t is calculated that
there is soil enough here for 49,
900, 900 bricks. The company has
ten acres at another place, where
the clay is even better, being fit for
the making of sewer pipe, thing,
fancy brick, etc.
At Nuuanu Valley one kiln has
Just been finished and there is one
machine on the ground, having a
capacity of $4,000 bricks per day.
1t is the intention to construct ten
kilns and keep two machines going,
making so, 900 bricks a day. The
present price of bricks in the Homo
lulu. market is about $4,000 per
thousand and it is very difficult to
get them from the coast.
The Honolulu Clay Company
consists of H. L. Kerr, G. E. ALI
son, F. R. Litherland and M. L.
Smith. 1t is the intention of the
company to work its other ten
acres as soon as preparations can be
made for doing so. At the Nuuanu
Valley plant the clay soil is about
20 feet deep all over the three acres.
This clay is for the making of or
binary red brick, of which some of
the local product will be available
for builders in few days.
