MODERN STEEL STRUCTURES.
Trip Through Fire-Swept Frisco
shows Their Superiority.

A trip through the burned districts of
San Francisco after the fire revealed a
scene of unspeakable desolation From
many points on Market street. as far as
the eye could reach in any direction. there
was nothing but skeleton walls and smold-
erlng ruins. 1t was fire that wrought the
great devastation and wiped out the en-
tire business section and half the resi-
dence section of the city. The great mod
ern steel structures were practically I'M
injured by the earthquake except for
cracked walls and displaced plaster. All
these great structures, of course, suisse
quently were utterly ruined by the flames
so far as the interior construction is con-
cerned, but the walls are in most cases
intact. The most notable cases of prac-
teal immunity from the shock were the
st, Francis hotel, the Fairmont hotel,
the Flood building, the Mills building,
the Spreckels building, the Chronicle
building, and scores of other modern steel
structures.
The branch of the United States mint
on Fifth street and the new postoffice at
Seventh and Mission streets are striking
examples of the superiority of the work
manship put into federal buildings. The
United States mint building, surrounded
by wide space of pavement, was abso-
lutely unframed. The new postoffice
building was also virtually unchanged by
fire. The earthquake did some damage
to the different entrances to the building,
but the walls were uninjured. Every win
dow pane, of course, was broken. The
Fairmont hotel, while damaged in the
interior, is left intact as to the walls,

LIFE RECORDS BURN.
$5O,000,OO0 in Risks Face Serious
Implications.

The destruction of the San Francisco
building of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company, which was located at Sansome
and California streets, may involve 10000
policy holders carrying an aggregate of
S50000,000 Of insurance in serious COM
plications. All of the records concern
ing these $1,000 policy holders were de-
stroyed with the building. Complete du-
plicate records containing all of the late
information concerning the Pacific coast
policy holders were not kept at the home
Office in New York.
Officers of the large fire insurance com
panies having their headquarters in New
York City announce that losses by earth
quake were not included in the fire in
surance policies written for California,
and that such losses could not be allowed,
even if the companies were so inclined,
for the reason that the laws of New York
State prohibited it. The rulings on the
losses by fire, however, will, it is said,
be broad the insurance companies agree
ing that to draw the lines with any Sc
verify whatsoever would be extremely IN
wise, in the face of such an appalling dis
aster, where the suffering will no doubt
be widespread.

LUNATIc SHOOTS SHERIFF..
Overtaken by Posse, He Then Ends
His Own Life.

Deputy Sheriff Isaac Waldrip was shot
and probably fatally injured near Craw-
louisville, Ind, while attempting TO cap
tire Walter Phalen, who had suddenly
gone insane. Phalen took to the woods
Immediately after the shooting, but was
soon surrounded by a posse which was
quickly organized. Realizing that escape
was impossible, the demented man fred
load Of shot into his side, and dragging
himself TO the bank of the creek. deliber-
ately threw himself into the water and
was drowned. Phalen showed signs Of
insanity and his wife and three children,
who were alone N the house with him,
managed to send word TO the sheriff to send
man to their rescue. No sooner had Wal
drip entered the house than Phalen lev
eled a shotgun at his wife. The deputy
sprang forward 10 save the woman and
received the contents of both barrels in
his face and side. Waldrip fell to the
floor and the maniac started for the coun-
try, terrorizing the neighborhod by con-
stantly firing his gun. The injured man
was brought to the city and a posse or
gained. After several hours chase Pha-
len was overtaken and the suicide fol-
lowed. Phalen, according TO his wife, has
acted queerly since he was initiated into
a lodge week before. He was a grave
digger at Oak Hill cemetery and was one
of the guards employed to watch the body
of the late Gen. Lew Wallace while it re-
manned in the vault before burial.

INNOCENT MEN FREED.
Alleged Train Robbers Released
After Serving Seven Years.

After Serving Seven Years.
The Minnesota pardon board has an
nounced the pardons of Line Thayer.
Charles F. Hoffman, Homer S. Minot and
James G. Hall, the four men who have
served seven years of a twenty-year sen
tence for train robbery. The pardon was
given after evidence had been presented
to the board that the men are innocent OF
the crime of which they were convicted
Great Northern officials took the matter
up personally and secured the evidence
necessary to release the men. The gang
was convicted of having held up Great
Northern coast train at Carlyle. six miles
from Fergus Falls, Nov. 10, 1898. Early
on the morning following the robbery they
were arrested in a hotel at Moorhead.
They proved a good alibi. but the outfit
of burglars tools which they had tended
to convict them in the eyes of the jury.
Thayer was convicted on the first trial
and sentenced Dec. 3, 1898, to twenty
years IN the penitantiaTy. The other three
men were convicted on the second trlal
and sentenced May 90 1899, their terms
being made nineteen years and SIX months
each. The cases were appealed to the
Supreme Court, which refused to grant
new trial. The matter was taken UP
some time ago and evidence was obtained
showing that the real robbers were three
men who were afterward arrested at st.
Joseph, Mo-, for holding up man on
the street. Enough evidence was found
to show that these men had confessed the
crime and that the Line Thayer quartet
was innocent. The men who committed
the train robbery will not be prosecuted
by the Great Northern. One of them IS
in prison for another offense and the 9th
ers have served time for robbery since
the holdup. The train robbers got moth
ing from the express car at the time of
the holdup and their only booty was $50,
which they took from the engineer.

Prof Smyth's address was masterpiece
of oratory, though regrets were expressed
that he needlessly dragged in references
to England towards the end apparently
advocating a Franco English-American al
lance. Mr.. Barthou, French minister

SAVED On EDGE OF PRECIPICE.
American Woman Kisses Swiss Guide
Who Checked Descent.


cable dispatch from Geneva says:
An American named Kenrick and his
wife, accompanied by two guides, ascend
ed Point d'Ormy the other day. The
climb is a dangerous one at this time of
the year, owing to avalanches. AS they
began to descend they suddenly slid down
ward at an alarming speed. They had
started an avalanche. The guides, to
whom the Kenricks were attached by a
rope, shouted to them to keep their feet
and not to sit down. Their movement
increased until they were going at express
speed Mr.. Kenrick says: Il thought
every moment that we would be dashed TO
pieces, as | knew of the huge precipices
on the flank of the mountain. l was in
front, then came a guide, then my wife,
and then the other guide. Suddenly L
was brought up with jerk, which shook
the breath out of me. We had stopped
on ledge, three yards from the brink of
fathOmless depth, into which the ava
lanche rolled with a roar. | turned and
saw my wife lying senseless. A guide was
rubbing her face with snow. We owe our
lives to Guide Dupraz, who had dexter
ously clasped a projection of rock and
chung to it, thereby bringing US up with
a tremendous jerk on the rope, which, for
tunately, did not break. When the ava
lanche passed and my wife recovered, we
clambered to safety. Old Dupraz did not
seem to be moved by the adventure. but
he was pleased when my wife kissed him
gratefully"

them not to return until the school board
should pay back salaries due the teachers.

is succeeded by II. L. Morgan, formerly of
the United States naval observatory.
Judge Mack of Chicago has invited a
conference with the school board with Il
view to stopping the practice of suspend
ing disorderly or unruly pupils, on the
ground that it contributes to the juvenile
delinquency cases in court.
Following are some Ohio statistics :
Children of school age, 100000; children
in school attendance, 100000; children
out of school, 10000; children within
scope of labor law, 100000; children il
legally employed, 100000.
The most notable feature of the latest
census bulletin relating to illiteracy
among our population is the statement
that there are fewer illiterates among the
children of foreign-born parents than
among those of the natives. This is
variously accounted for, but the chief rea-
son for it appears to be based on the fact
that the greatest portion of the foreign
born children live in cities. where the
educational opportunities are better than
in the country. In the country the Hit
eracy among children is SO per 1000; in
cities of over $1,000 inhabitants it is only
10 per 1000.

Gates and diplomas from normal schools
and colleges. When the committee first
undertook its task, it was found that
twenty-five States and territories made
absolutely no concession. that all teachers
from outside their boundaries were oblig-
ed by their laws to take an examination,
no matter what their credentials and ex-
perience. Now. after two years work,
only nine of the States still hold out.
These are Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia,
Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky. North Caro-
lima, New Hampshire and Texas. In all
the rest a distinct advance toward reci-
procity has been made.
The school authorities of Waynesboro,
