from an encounter with a man who rob
bed and tride to burn them alive In a
summer cottage.
The boys went down to loves creek,
two miles from town, to cut Christmas
tree. While they were at work a man
they knew his Intentions. He Knocked
both boys down. backing Seyberth's s
eye and breaking B0nell's collar bone,
He then strapped the boys together with
a big strap, which they had taken along
to carry home the Christmas three, gag
ged them and robbed them of the little
pocket money they had.
He started away, leaving the boys
bound in the snow, but returned, and.
dragging them to an empty summer
cottage on the creek, he threw them in
side and, fastening the door, set fire to
the house.
The boys managed to get their hands
free and tore the gags from their

CONFIRM REPORT.

Spencer Eddy in Correspondence With
Porte ii, Reference to the Expulsion
of Americans From Turkish Terri
tory.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 2s.-The
state department confirms the report
that Spencer Eddy, in charge at Con-
stantinopae, is in correspondence with
the Porte relative to the proposed ex-
pulsion OF naturalized American citi-
zens from Turkey unless their citizens
abandon their allegiance to the United
States. Owing to the absence of a
naturalization treaty between the Unit
ed States and Turkey our government
has no special authority to interfere
in behalf of these naturalized citizens
as against an edict of expulsion since
reliance upon the broad principles of
International law Is rot strong, for
the principle that nation may refuse
to allow its citizens to change their
has been pretty well es-
tablished. But admitting the right of
expulsion this government has itself
the right to insist that his shall not be
attended by hardship such as might re-
suit from, the allowance of very linn
tied period of time for leaving Turkey.
II Is probable that Eddy will take ad-
vanced ground on that point if he can
not secure the abandonment of the
projected order of expulsion.

Vessel Hits Bar in Heavy storm-crew
Rescued by Life Savers.


Ludington. Mich. Dec. 23.--Pere Mar
auette car ferry No. 16 was wrecked at
midnight Saturday night while trying to
run the bar and enter Ludington harbor
in a heavy gale. The big ferry. loaded
with cars, pounded down on the bar,
whirled and beat against the piers. The
machinery, disabled by the shock, broke
loose and the boat was enveloped in
clouds of steam, which scalded three
men. killing one.
The ferry was beating its life out
against the piers. The thirty-one sur
vivors hung on and lodged the rolling
deck load. Waves whirled over the fer
ry and to save it from breaking up 1t
was scuttled and sank In sixteen feet OF
water in a cloud of steam.
The crew. carrying the dead and
scalded men, fled to the tops of the cars
and, until daylight. clung there. with the
freezing water dashing over them. The
United States life-savlng crew dared not
launch a boat, but waited on the beach
until day broke. Then a line was fired
from the gun over the wrecked ferry.
and after a desperate fight thlrty-tlfee
sailors and the body of the dead man
were dragged ashore over the Churlllng
ice.
Nearly the entire population OF the
town watched the rescue. Many had
friends among the seamen. The news
was over the town before daybreak
Men and women watched and Wept ana
cheered as man after man was brought

pital and revived with stimulants-
The dead man was Michael Taen, a
coal HEAVIER, whose home was in Chi
cago. where he had wife and two chill
dren. The other two scalded by steam
are unknown. They probably will die.
The escaping team burned them terri
bly,. and their bodies froze in places pc

MANY LIVES LOST.
Fire in City Market House at zaca-
tecas, Mexico, Causes Loss Of Forty
five Lives. Details Of the Disaster.

San Antonio Texas, Dec. 23.-By the
burning of the city market house at
Zacatecas. Mexico, fully forty-five lives
were lost and over a score of persons
were seriously injured, some OF them SO
badly that they can not recover. Fif-
teen bodies have been taken from the
ruins, and large force is at work clear
ing away the debris in order to recover
others, tho there Is no hope that any OF
those caught in the collapse OF the Dig
stucture will be found alive.
The market house, which was one of
the largest buildings in Zacatecas, was
owned by the city, and its lower portion
was composed chiefly Of cold-storage
cellars. in which local merchants stored
their perishable goods, and 1t was IN the
basement section that the fire originat-
ed. The flames had gained such head
way when discovered that the entire
building was seen to be doomed, ana the
efforts Of the firemen and citizens who
had gathered were directed to saving
goods from the storage compartments IN
the basement and on the first floor.
Hundreds of men were formed into
gangs, and were busily engaged In the
rvoT,v1r saving goods when the entire
superstructure, weakened by the rapid
ly spreading flames, without a moments
warning, collapsed, crushing and bury
ing most of those engaged in the work
Of salvage. Those who escaped unln-
jured in the blazing ruins We're so panic
stricken that 1t was some time before an
organized attempt at rescue could be
made. and in the meantime the moans
and cries of those who had not been
killed outright could be heard. Many OF
them begged to be killed before the fire
could reach them, as they saw there was
no hope of rescue.
The fire department Is poorly equip
ped. and the water supply inadequate.
so that no effective resistance could be
offered to prevent the spread of the fire,
which finally burned itself out, leaving
many unfortunates buried beneath tons
OF wreckage. AS soon as possible an ef-
fort was made to get out the bodies of
the dead but the heat drove back the
rescuers for hours, and only fifteen of
those who We're nearest the outer walls
of the building could be taken out. Ex-
actly how many have been killed can

with the primitive methods in use, will
occupy days.
The market house was one Of the
handsomest and most costly buildings
in the city. having been erected few
years ago by the municipality to meet
the demands of growing business. 1t
cost s150.Ooo. and in 1t We're stored stocks
of merchandise and provisions valued
at several hundred thousand more. 1t
was one of the chief sources of revenue
for the city of zacatecas. The insurance
on it was light and II is doubtful IL 1t
will be rebuilt.
Among those caught In the ruins were
several of the minor officials charged
with the management of the building.
The loss of the building and it's contents
will impoverish a number of persons, as
few of the merchants had any insur-
ance.

Chicago, Dec. 23-Alfred johnson, from
Iowa, staying at the Stockholm Hotel,
entered the Desplaines street station
yesterday afternoon and demanded that
he be vindicated. Johnson said he went
into a saloon near Lake and Halsted
streets and purchased a drink. Some
body accused him of stealing a gold ring
and his pockets were searched. Altho
johnson had $500, nothing was taken
from him. The ring, he said, was found
in the possession of another man. The
sergeant advised him to go home and
thank the Lord that his money was not

in conviction.

ground Of error if the motion for

which the lawyer has been free during
