If the state treasurer can draw the
interest on the deposit of state funds
even at rate of two per cent. and
apply them to his own personal pur-
poses, he has a pretty good position.
1t would seem that a matter Of that
nature should be covered by law and
the income from public monies used
used for public purposes.

Albaugh declares that Kelley has a
half million dollars of state funds in
the banks all the time from which he
receives interest at two per cent. Per-
haps this may explain the attitude Of
the machine forces regarding the
office of state treasurer. The inter-
est might furnish splendid political
capital.

VOTE ON CUBAN BILL
VIII Probably he Taken Finally on
Dec. 10.

Will Probably he Taken Finally on
Washington, Nov. 21.-The Republi-
can and Democratic leaders of the
Senate were in conference much of the
time to-day over the question of fix
ing a time for the vote upon the Gu
ban reciprocity BILL and so far as they
were empowered to do so, entered an
agreement to take the final vote on
Dec. 16, or little more than a week
after the converting of the regular ses-
sion of Congress. There was no OPP
portunity to consult some of the DEM
ocratic senator's, who desire to speak
on the bill, but it is not doubted that
they will assent to the arrangement.
Very little progress was made dur
ing the day in the effort to secure an
agreement between the Senate and
House for a final adjournment of the
called session before Thanksgiving, and
there were no conferences between SEN
ators and members. The senators are
quite hopeful that an understanding
to that effect will be reached, but they
say that If it is not they will accom-
plish the same purpose by taking sew
eral adjournment for three days at
a time (the maximum time which one
house can refrain from meeting with
out the consent of the other), and this
they declare to be their purpose.

TEN MEN KILLED
BY a Violent Explosion in a Coal
Mine.


Connellsville. Pa, Nov. N.-"Hill
Farm mine" the ill fated. tonight
added ten more victims to its black
record.
Just as the day shift had about COM
pleted it's labors and were about to
leave the Ferguson mine at $50
o'clock, a terrific explosion rent the
interior of the mine and nineteen min
ers, who were working in the vicinity
were thrown in all directions, the roof
came tumbling down, and the close
air of the mine became Supplying.
The men rushed in every direction,
seeking means of escape, but only nine
succeeded in reaching the pit mouth
alive. These were picked up by the
rescuing party in different positions of
search.
AS these nine men emerged from
the mine pit one by one, their faces
were blackened. their hair scorched
and clothing burned almost to shreds
from the flames that followed the ex-
plosion. The other ten, perhaps,
never regained consciousness after the
disaster.
The explosion occurred in the Fer
guson mine of the Dunbar Furnace
Company, which adjoins the Hill Farm
mine. 1t is believed by mining ex-
perts that the fire, which has been
raging in the Hill Farm mine since
the disaster of 1890, broke through the
walls, which had been erected between
the Hill Farm and Ferguson mines,
and caused an explosion of gas.
AS soon as the news of the explosion
was known to the officials of the COM
pany a rescuing party was organized
and half hundred men descended into
the deep pit to rescue the injured and
dying. Great volumes of smoke rolled
out of the mouth of the mine, and the
rescue work was dangerous.
Almost blinded by the dense smoke,
the men pushed on for nearly two
miles until the first of the dying min
ers were found. The injured were car
ried out and taken to the company
house, where half a dozen physicians
were already in waiting. The miners
who were found dead are so terribly
burned that it is impossible to identify
them.
The, explosion was a most terrifying
one, and for two miles timbers were
completely blown out. The flames shot
through almost every room in the
mine, setting fire to the timbers and
burning the pit cars that were in the
section of the mine where the explosion
took place. The dead are all foreign
ers, except James McGureque, son of
Mine Boss John McGuerque.

CHURCH RECORD STOLEN.
Mystery in the Countess KwiIecIxi
Case Has Deepened.

Mystery IN tne countess hW1IeCE1
Case Has Deepened.
Berlin, Nov. 21.-The mystery sur
rounding the case of Countess Isabella
Wosierska Kwilecki, charged with
presenting a false heir to an estate
at Wroblewo, province of Posen, which
has been before the courts here since
Oct. 26, has become more intricate
through the erasure of the date of
the Mayors childs birth from the St.
Nicholas parish register at Cracow, and
the theft of a copy thereof from the
municipal records.
The Countess Kwileclki's witnesses
testified to-day that they found a less
than a day old child when they en-
tered the Countess bed room, Jan.
25, 1897, and the Mayer woman declared
that her boy, whom she claimed to
have recognized in the person of the
Kwilecki child, was born Dec. II,
1885,
Long reports of this protracted trial
furnish the daily reading supply of
the Berlin public. An enormous mass
of testimony is offered, supporting
each of the three possible theories,
that the Countess palmed off the
Mayer child for her own, or prepared
to make substitution and then act
ually bore a son, or that the persons
interested in the succession of the
Wroblewo estates plotted to prove a
substitution without any other excuse
than the advancing age of the Coun-
tess, who was over fifty in 1897.

BY HUMAN BODIES
FIERCE FLAMES IN A LODGING
SHANTY WERE FED.
TWENTY-EIGHT LIVES LOST
AND BODIES WE'RE CHARRED BE-
YOND RECOGNITION.

An Overheated Stove Caused the
Fire-Sixty-five Men Who Worked
on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
Were in the BuildinE-When Fire
Was Shouted, There Was wild
Scramble - Many Returned for
Trunks and Perished.
Johnstown. Pa, Nov. 21.-Twenty-
eight bodies, charred and blackened
beyond all possibility of Identification,
lie tonight in the ruins of what was
once an Italian lodging shanty, located
on the line of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, twenty miles east of this city
and three-fourths of a mile west of
Lilly. In addition to the list of the
dead, there are thirty-two men who
have been removed to hospitals or to
the homes of friends. Twelve of this
number are in the hospitals in this
city and several cannot recover.
The fire started early this morning,
while the men were still in bed. How
it originated is a mystery. Accord
ing to the history of one man who
escaped from the shanty, the men lost
their lives through a fire which start
ed from an over-heated stove. The
stove became red hot, it is said, and
the interior of the shanty, which was
lined with infammable paper, caught
fire.
The shanty was ninety-three feet
long, and about twenty-three feet
wide. 1t was occupied by sixty-five
men, mostly Italians, employed on the
min Dol &c
between Lilly and Portage. On each
side of an aisle, which ran down the
center of the structure, was a row OF
hunks, three high. In these hunks
were piles of straw.
Went Back for Trunks.
One OF the water boys employed on
the works said he was awakened by
hearing a man cry out, fire" At
this time the fire was in the upper
end of the shanty only, where a
struggling mass of men were fighting
to escape from the building. Some
of the men escaped, but a few re-
manned asleep in the hunks.
All at once the foreigners on the
outside remembered that they had
left their trunks in the blazing build
ing. Then followed a rush of men
into the building, through the lower
door. Those who stroVe for the door
were in the widest sort of a panic.
When one man got ahead of another,
the other pulled him back. They
fought, bit and kicked and among
those who escaped, there are many
who bear marks of the fierce struggle
which took place in this battle. One
of the witnesses says he does not be-
lieve a single man of those who went
back for his trunk succeeded in get
ting out again. In the ruins some of
the corpses were close beside the iron
bands of the trunks, and the melted
gold and silver, which they had kept
in those receptacles indicated that the
owners had fallen, and died with their
treasure in their arms.
The bodies were all practically burn
ed to pieces.

INTERNAL MACHINE
KILLED TWO MEN IN A COLORADO
NINE SHAFT.
ONE THE SUPERINTENDENT.
THEY WERE DESCENDING TO A
LEVEL IN THE CAGE.

Miner Becker Were the Only Oc-
cupants of the Cage-A Revolver
Had Been Arranged So That the
Cage Would Fire 1t and Cause the
Bullet to set on the Internal Ma
chine-Bits of the Revolver Found.
Cripple Greek, Col, Nov. 21.-Charles
Mccormack, superintendent, and Mel
win Becker a miner, were killed short
ly before noon to-day by an explosion
in the Vindicator mine. officers of the
indicator mine assert that the explos-
ion was caused by an Internal machine
and 400 militiamen have been placed
on guard around the companys prop
critics.
Supt. Mccormack and Miner Becker
were descending into the mine in the
cage. They were the only passengers.
When the cage reached the sixth level,
the explosion occurred, wrecking the
cage and shaft, and instantly killing
both men.
The explosion, which was terrific,
was heard at the surface, and at first
was believed to be an earthquake. The
engineer hastily reversed the hoist,
but could not pull up the cage, and
the bodies were recovered only after
several hours work, being brought to
the surface through the second COM
partment of the shaft.
After a thorough examination of the
shaft, it is positively asserted by Of
ficers of the mining company, that the
explosion was caused by an internal
machine. They assert that the in
fernal machine, containing many
pounds of dynamite had been placed
in the sixth level, which is part of the
abandoned workings of the mine, with
in a few inches of the shaft. Then
a loaded revolver was fixed in the
shaft with its nozzle pointing toward
the Internal machine To the trigger
of the revolver was attached a string,
which was thrown across the shaft
in such a manner that the revolver
would explode, the bullet striking the
Internal machine. Pieces of this re-
volver have been recovered from the
bottom of the shaft, but not vestige
of the internal machine can be found.

BROKEN HEADS AND
BLOODY FACES,
This Football Game Was Little
Short of n Riot.

ShoEt VI ~ MOT
Washington, Pa. Nov. 21.-The an
nual game between Washington and
Jefferson and West Virginia UNIVERSE
ty here to-day was forfeited to the
Morgantown Institute by to 0. Fol-
lowing the game, disgracefu1 scenes
were enacted by players. Students of
both institutions and townspeople and
the police were called to the rescue.
Heads were broken. bricks and clubs
hurled through the air in every direc-
ton and number of arrests made.
Inc game itself was a fast and furi-
Gus one. and the bloodieSt and rough
est that has been played here for years.
scarcely man on either team was
free from thumps and bruises, and the
blood was pouring from the faces OF
several when the game was concluded.
The trouble started when it was dis
covered toward the close of the first
half that Teas, the famous University
OF Pennsylvania guard, was playing
left tackle for West Virginia, under the
name of Morgan. From the time Teas
Identity was discovered he was made
the mark for the Washington and JEFF
ferson men. and was laid out after
nearly every down. Hays, Washing
ton and Jefferson's captain, received
equally as rough treatment from the
West Virginia players.
Referee Brainerd was struck twice
in the face and painfully hurt, while
members and followers of both teams
were cut by blows from clubs, bricks
and canes. The police tried to stop the
riot, but were carried away by the
crowds. Along the streets the fights
continued and it was late tonight be-
fore anything like order was restored.

RlOTING AT CHICAGO.
Street Car Strikers and the Police
Have Clashes.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-The street car
strike has settled down, for the time
being at least, TO bargaining prop
osition. Negotiations have been in
progress all day and will continue
through tomorrow.
The result tonight is that the COM
pany has presented an answer to the
last proposition of the men, which
makes some concessions in the matter
of routing cars, but does not grant
anywhere near what the men have
been demanding.
The present hitch in the negotiations
is understood to be over the routing
of the cars, the men having waived
their demand for the exclusive use of
union men and their right to pass with
authority upon the discharge of en-
ployes. OF the question of wages there
has never been any trouble, both sides
having been willing from the first to
submit that question to arbitration.
A riot, in which several thousand
men, women and children took part,
occurred on Archer avenue to-day. The
mob, which gathered to intercept a
number of wagons under escort, con-
veying food to the car barns, charged
the police and constables, shouting
and throwing stones A constable was
struck on the head and badly cut The
police drew their revolvers and made
a stand about the wagons, but re-
Trained from shooting.
The rioters were finally driven back
and consoled themselves by burning
a wagon previously wrecked in the
vicinity of the barns.
Four lines of the city railway were
in operation to-day, as on yesterday.
The police declared it preferable to
run an increased number of cars on
the lines already in operation and did
not undertake to protect service on
additional lines.
To avoid attacks by packets or other
persons, closed carriages were employ
ed to convey supplies to the power
houses and barns where the non union
men are quartered. The ruse worked
SUCCESSFULLY.

FORMER CITY OFFICIALS
HELD FOR B00DLING.
Seventeen Are Alleged to Have Ac-
cepted Brides.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov 21.-War-
rants were issued to-day for seventeen
former city officials, charging them
with accepting a bride in connection
with the famous Garman-Cameron
scheme for supplying the city with
water from Lake Michigan. All of the
warrants are the result of the confess
sion made by former City Attorney
Salisbury on his return last week from
serving a two years term in the De-
troit House of Correction for breaking
the federal banking law in connection
with the scheme. Following are those
indicted:
Former Mayor George R. Perry State
Senator David Burns, Corey P. Bis
sell, former member of the Board of
Public Works, and the following ex-
aldermen, who were in office when the
attempt was made to put the water
deal through: James o. McCooi, Peter
DePagter, Jacob Ellen, Malachi Kin
ney, John T. Donovan, Jacob Mol, Abb
raham Ghysels, Charles Johnson, Rey-
ner Stonehouse, Daniel Losier, John
McLachdan, Clark Slocum, John Muir
and Adrian Shriver.
The amounts the respondents are
charged with having received out of
the alleged Doodle fund range from 5000
to 1888.
Revelations show that the Common
Council was controlled during the at
tempt to put through the water scheme
by fourteen votes, which included both
Democrats and Republicans. The al
dermen are charged with having re-
ceived $500 to $500 each. Mayor Perry's
share, it is charged in the warrant,
was $685. and Corey p. BiSSell is
charged with receiving $500, while
State Senator Burns is alleged to have
received 5000 for his support.
The seventeen men indicted were ar
raigned in court and dates were set for
hearings later.
