BIC SENSATION
IN MICHIGAN
Warrants for Seventeen Former
Officials of Grand Rapids.
ARE CHARGED WITH BRIBERY
Former City Attorney Liant X.
Salisbury Has Made a Confess
sion duplicating the
Men Indicted.

Grand Rapids, Mich. Nov. 22.-War-
rants have been issued for II former
city officials. charging them with ac-
oepting a bride in connection with the
famous Garman-C Cameron scheme for
supplying the city with water from
Lake Michigan. All of the warrants
are the result of the confession made
by former City Attorney Liant K. SAILS
bury, 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.
Tired of Suffering Alone.
While in prison Salsbury's convic-
ton on a bribery charge in the state
| courts in connection with the same
matter vas affirmed by the supreme
court, and with the prospect of being
returned to prison, Salisbury went to
the prosecutors office and made a
lengthy confession, which resulted in
the issuance of the warrants. Follow
ing are those indicted: Former Mayor
George r. Perry, State Senator David
Burns, Corey P. Bissell, former mem
Der of the board of public works, and
the following aldermen, who were in
Office when the attempt was made to
put the water deal through: James
McColl, Peter. Depagter, Jacob Ellen,
Malachi Kinney, John T. Donovan, ia
cob Mol, Abraham Ghysels, Charles
Johnson, Ryner ~Stonehouse, Daniel
Lozier, John McLachlan, Clark Slo-
cum, John Muir and Adria Shriver.
They SOld Themselves ChenpIy.
The amounts the respondents are
charged with having received out of
the alleged Doodle fund range from
5000 to 1888. Revelations of the
morning in the service of the warrants
show that the common council was
controlled, during the attempt to put
through the water scheme, with the IA
votes which included both democrats
and republicans. The aldermen are
charged with having received $500 to
$500 each.
Made n Full Confession.
Mayor Perry's share, it is charged in
the warrant, was 1888, and Corey P.
Bissell is charged with receiving $500,
while State Senator Burns is alleged
to have received 5000 for his support.
1t has developed that Salsbury's first
confession, made last week, was not
SO complete as the prosecution had
hoped for. Prosecutor Ward went to
work at once upon the leverage Of
fered by the incomplete statement, and
secured enough additional evidence, so
that Salisbury was summoned again
Friday night for a conference. The
result, the prosecutor says, was a
statement which is regarded as COM
plete.

IN A STRUGGLE FOR LIFE
Twenty-Seven LaborerB Burned to
Death in a Boarding Shanty.
Many Others Seriously Injured in n
Desperate Battle For Life
Near Lilly, Pa,

Johnstown, Pa, Nov. 22.-While over
100 Italian railroad laborers were
asleep in a shanty near Lilly, Pa, on
the Pennsylvania, early Saturday
morning, the building caught fire, and
before the men could escape at least q
were burned TO death and a score or
more seriously injured. The men were
employed by McMensmir & Sims, on
the Pennsylvania railroad improve
ments between Lilly and Portage.
There were 500 on the job, all Italians,
and in the shanty which was burned
were II Of these. The shanty was
about 100 feet long, one story in
height, and built in the usual style
OF such quarters. The eastern end was
devoted to the cooking and eating,
while the men slept in hunks, packed
like sardines in a can, in the western
end.
Limited Means of Esress.
There was only one door at each end,
and the windows were few and small.
The fire is supposed to have started
from an overheated stove in the east
ern end. The building burned like tim
der, and the flames We're upon the men
before any of them were aroused.
Then began a struggle for the outside
and life. They fought and scrambled
for the doors, and the weaker were
crushed down and trampled. Others
were roasted to death there.
Widest Sort of Panic.
Those who strove for the door were
in the widest sort of panic. They
fought and kiclad, and among those
who escaped there are many who bear
marks of the fierce strife, which took
place in this battle for life. A few
got out the small windows, minus
clothing, and with their bodies cut
from broken glass.
Many of those who did manage to
get out had their savings of years in
their trunks, which they left behind
them in the building. Remembering
this fact, as o o as thpy go outside
they fought just as ~fiercely to get back.
a few succeeded, but icy the sake of
their boarded treasure they gave up
their lives.
Sought Treasures, lost Lives.
One eyewitness says he does not be-
lieve that a single man of those who
returned succeeded in getting out
again. In the ruins some of the
corpses were close beside the hoped
bands of their trunks and melted gold
and silver which had been kept in
those receptacles, indicated that they
had fallen and died with their treas
ure in their arms. The bodies we're
all practically burned to pieces. An
Italian who looked at them, and who
knew every mar in the shanty, was
unable to identify a SINCE n
