DEADLY sNoWsllDE.
Two Men Killed at Bankers National
Mine, Ouray.

Denver. April 3.-A dispatch from
Ouray last night says: A snowslide
came down at the Bankers National
mine Saturday night. while the night
shift was at work and carried away the
bunk house and boarding house.
George Rabb and John Orth were the
only men killed. Six others who were
caught by the slide escaped. several
after having been buried under ten
feet OF snow. Some of them were at
the point OF death when rescued.
There has never been a slide at that
point, so far as any one remembered.
In the bunk house eight men were rest
ing after the days work, when the
slide started. Most Of them were play
ing cards. There was no thought OF
impending danger.
Without moments warning there
came an awful booming. bursting,
crash, darkness and the bitter cold of
the awful mass of snow. A. B. Higgin-
botham, by q prank Of fate, rode upon
the crest Of the snowy mass and es-
capped, although he was stunned.
He waded through the snow for a
mile to the Camp Bird mine and gave
and fought their way through the
storm. arriving in time to save the
lives of at least two men. Alex Nc
Neill and Walter McEwen. who were
imprisoned beneath ten of twelve feet
Of snow almost four hours.
The compressor house escaped the
slide, though 1t was moved from Its
foundation. In 1t were w. B. Orman
and the night engineer, T. F. McKenna.
When the crash of the slide came the
machinery stopped and the lights went
out. Both realized that the buildings
had been carried away and after send
ing Tom Cgrley to bring the night
shift out OF The tunnel, they started to
rescue their comrades. They met Bob
Roberts crawling over the snow.
bruised and stunned. They heard the
groans of others, Barney Burns, who
was bleeding from wounds in the head
and whose side was severely bruised,
and Jim Mullins. who was buried be-
meath the iron roof. Both were res
cued.
Then the Camp Bird men arrived
and with feverish haste began search
ing. Tamping rods twenty-feet long
wre prodded through the snow and
George Rabb was located, but too late.
Just before they got him out he spoke
and said to Orman:
"Bill, pull the timbers of of me-"
Life was practically extinct when he
was taken out.
Alex McNeill was rescued from be-
meath twelve feet Of snow. where he
had regained consciousness. and with
his hands had followed out breath
ing space. He managed to get air
enough to live during the four hours he
was imprisoned.
James Orth was taken out dead.
Walter McEwen, the cook, who was
In the cook house, which was crushed
and buried beneath twelve feet Of
snow, was rescued unhurt after having
been buried beside his cook stove with
the camp cat for four hours.

about 500. The order has extended into
China and Japan; in the latter coun-
try ten different denominations are
united in the association, the Presby

societies; there is one in Jerusalem; ;
the Armenian Christians have taken it
up; Persia reports forty associations; !;

BOND BILL is KILLED
BY ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE
Measure to Pay Military Expenses
sheIved by Representatives.
Scenes Of Widest Confusion.


Denver, April 2.-The house closed
its exciting day yesterday with a
rather dramatic climax. At 11:25 last
night Mr.. Cannon rushed down the
center aisle toward the speakers desk.
declaring: "The Senate is killing
House bills as fast as it can" There
was an astonished pause and then a
motion to adjourn was made, which
Mr.. Fetzer seconded and moved that
the House adjourn to 10 o'clock Mon
day morning. The motion was Sec
onded and when the speaker put 1t to
a vive voce vote there was response
Of ayes that shook the roof. Mr..
Frewen and Mr.. Griffith, in a last ef-
fort to save S. B. 211, for the payment
call. Amidst intense excitement men,
bers shouting at each other across the
chamber, and the opponents to 211
jeering its friends, the motion to ad-
journ was carried by the vote OF 33
to 25.
The action of the House kills the
bond bill, No. 211, and all other Sen
ate bills which had not passed second
reading.
The House was at the time entirely
free from any outside influence, as Mr..
McGuire's motion for secret session
had cleared the floor of all save men,
bers, employees and the press represen-
tatives. 1t was partly the outcome of
open work done on the floor Of the
House in favor of the military bill,
members having declared that i'm
proper influences were being used to
secure votes for the measure. The mo-
ton came at an unexpected moment
when the friends of the bill claimed
they had secured almost enough votes
to make it safe Some of the work
had been tried among the Democratic
members, many of whom said they
would have voted for the bonds If
friends of that measure had allowed
the business of the committee of the
whole to proceed towards clearing up
the calendar on other Senate bills.
Their objection was. they said, to put
ting the bond bill ahead of others.
Rampant disorder ruled in the
House all of yesterday. speakers be-
ing unable to make themselves heard,
members caucussing, consulting the
lobby or shouting across the room.
The majority of the committee.
consisting of nine of the eleven mem
bers. favored cutting the total of the
bonds. in the war bond bill from $780,
900 to 100000 and the appointment OF
a special auditing committee to repre-
sent the state. to carefully scan each
bill and cut on: all improper or ex-
orbitant items. Mr.. Griffith handed in
a minority report favoring the bill as
it stood. Mr.. Fetzer presented third
report. the only variation from that o;
the majority being that he favored thu
reduction Of the total amount OF th'
bonds to 100000.

TRIBUTE TO JACKSON AND VARDA-

to the Emergency.

Tie readers of this paper are
familiar with events of Yesterday
which we're detailed at length ID

The situation yesterday morning
was such that it might have lead
to grave state of affairs. There

the citizens of the city in regard.
to the matter and it was then and
there determined that there
should be no bloody riots to mar
the fair name of jackson. A
meeting of the citizens Of the city.
was called. Governor Vardaman
was there and took charge of the
meeting. The News on yesterday
printed liberal extract from his
speech, and it desires to, edito-
rally, commend the course Of the
governor. He handled a delicate
situation in a manner that was
highly satisfactory. He made a
speech to the citizens in which be
asked the cooperation of each
man TO the end that the fend
might be caught and Just punish
ment, in strict accordance with

marks of the governor we're time

no flowers in them. He talked

that carried conviction. The

only Of the people of Jackson, but
Of tile entire State for The manner
lin which he handled the situation.

GREAT FIRE in
NEW RLEANS.
STUYVESANT DOCK BURNED ON SUN
DAY NIGHT.
Loss Of About -Four Million Dollars.
Falls Mainly on /. c. Railroad.

The StuyVesant Dock on the
river front in New Orleans, be-
longing to. the Illinois Central
Railroad, was burnt on Sunday
night, involving the enormous loss
of about So 900, 900.
The fire is supposed to have
been caused by spontaneous com
bustion or friction in one of the
big elevators.
The dock covered 1850 lineal
feet Of water front and an area Of
ten blocks, comprising, among
other facilities, two grain eleva-
tors of 2,510,000 bushels aggre-I
gate capacity, cotton warehouses
of $4,000 bales capacity, sheds,
platforms, grain conyeyors, sid
ings, etc.
1t is estimated by Illinois
Central Railroad officials, that the
total loss from fire aggregates be-
tween So, 900, 900 and $4,000, 600.
This figure makes no attempt to
cover the enormous loss in traffic.
It was estimated that 1000 cars
Of grain alone were in transit at
the time Of the fire. No. figure
can possibly be placed on what
this loss in future traffic will
reach.
The Company carries its own
insurance to a large degree, but it
had some outside policies on the
Stuyvesant Dock terminals.
Blanket insurance was being
carried on most of the cargo in
transit.
The following was compiled
soon after the fire.
Elevator d, leased to Harris,
Section & Co., grain operators,
containing over 100000 bushels of
corn.
Elevator E, owned and .operat-
ed by the Illinois Central Rail-
road, containing about 5000
bushels of grain.
The terminals and wharyes from
Louisiana avenue to little above
ConstantinopIe street, measuring
8, 800 feet, we're completely wiped
out. About 1900 feet of the up
per wharf, the newest section,
was saved.
About $4,000 bales of cotton
destroyed; 10000 bales in the
Tchoupitoulas street warehouTe,
5000 bales in the adjoining ware
house and 5000 bales on the
wharf.
$50 cars of cotton seed meal and
oil cake.
150 car loads of lumber.
10000 barrels of sugar in one
of the warehouses.
The wharf destroyed cost $500,
900.
Elevator D cost $500, 900 when
built.
Elevator E cost s4oo, 900 when
built.
The largest of the three ware
houses was erected at a cost of
$125 600; the second warehouse
cost 100000 and the third $75, 900.
Buildings burned outside the
Illinois Central properties, in
Guiding The Union Ferry Compa
Iny's terminals, were valued at
around $125, 900.
One hundled cars, about seven
ty Of them loaded with cargo, val
ued at about $5O, 900, all destroy
| ed.
Three fire engines Of the City
Fire Department, each worth
about $35, 900, burned.
Six horses of the Fire Depart
Iment killed.
The Illinois Central promptly
announced its intention Of re-
building the docks and elevators,
making them more elaborate and
substantial than formerly. Plans
are being made to take care Of
the business il the meantime.
