Dead Have Been Consigned
to the Grave.

Kingston, Jan. 19.-The United
States warships Indiana and Missouri
arrived this morning from Guantana-
mo, bringing large quantities of medi-
cines and food. The torpedo destroyer
Whipple arrived during the night with
a boat load of medicine. which was
sent ashore in charge of Surgeon Nc
Donald. The cruiser Yankton is ex-
pected to arrive here soon. Several
slight shocks of earthquake were felt
last night. Four hundred and twenty
dead were buried up to last night.
The remaining bodies are being Gre
mated. The death list it is now be-
lieved, will be about 700. The water
supply has been improved, but food
is very scarce and prices therefore
are exorbitant. A remarkable incident
of the earthquake has just come to
light. An English clerk in store
was buried under falling walls, fol-
lowing the earthquake of Monday and
over this. for many hours, great fires
swept. Wednesday the clerk was dug
out alive. His injuries are not Sc

twenty-five DEAD IN WRECK OF THE UEEN CITY SPECA" NEAR Chicago

Of which Thaw was also a member,
that went abroad in the spring of
1904. 1t was known then that they
were often in each others company.
The gossip about them, however, did
not become general until dispatches
told of Thaw's arrest while speeding
an automobile in Switzerland In COM
pany with his "wife.",
Not long after that story became
current that they had been married
abroad, and that Thaw's family was
so annoyed by the reports that he
could hope for no further advances
from his fathers estate. The story of
the marriage was Indignantly denied
soon afterward by Thaw and Miss
Nesbit when they returned to this
country in Ostober, 1904. The pair
travelled together and attracted much
notoriety. from the fact that many
hotels refused to receive them un.
less they would register as "man and
wife," When the scandal became un-
bearable the couple were summoned
to Pittsburg by Mrs. William Thaw
and the next the public heard about
the matter was that they were married
in that city. Many different stories
of events and threats alleged to have
brought about the marriage have been
told since the tragedy of last June.

FARGO 0RPHANAGE
BURNED TODAY
Fargo Institution for Homeless
Children Destroyed This
P. M.-Loss $4,000.

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 19.-St. Johns
Orphanage, located on North Broad
way in this city, caught fire at 1
o'clock this afternoon and burned to
the ground. No lives were lost, the
children being removed at first alarm,
but the total damage will be about
$4,000, with part insurance to cover.
The exact origin of the fire is un-
known, but is believed to have started
in the basement of the dormitory. On
account of the location of the struc-
ture, and the length of time which
elapsed before the arrival of the fire
department, the latter were unable to
cope with the flames.
The homeless victims are being
sheltered in nearby homes, and ar
rangements for their permanent care
will be perfected at once. st. Johns
Orphanage is one of the Oldest estab-
lished institutions of the state.

605 Of 1905 Codes Relating to Privi.

(By George Davis,

Bismarck, Jan. 19.-The session of
the house Thursday was largely oc-
cupied with the first and second read
ing of bills, and while there is not the
ambition to get on record which was
manifested in the first few days in the
matter of introducing bills, the grist
today was reasonably larger In a
few days the committees will be at
work and the remodeling and recon-
structing of the original bills will be
on. During the routine hour this
afternoon, Major Buttz presented a
personal petition in favor of an early
and favorable consideration of the
joint resolution introduced by him
yesterday in reference to endorsing
the amendments to the denatured al
cOhol law which are now pending in
congress and urging the representa-
tives of this state in that body to use
their influence to secure the passage
of the same. The petition contained
an article from the Minneapolis Jour-
nal stating that a number of capitalz
lists had planned to construct and op-
crate denaturing plant at Minneapolis
and that when such plant was in op-
GRAFTON. a similar one would be con-
structed in this state, the idea being
that unless the amendments were
made to the law, the manufacture of
denatured alcohol would so far as this
state Is concerned, soon be entirely at
the mercy of the whiskey trust which
is merely adding new side line to
it's already large list. The petition
was referred to the committees of
state affairs to be considered along
with the resolution itself.
A communication was received from
Attorney General McCue in response
to resolution passed few days ago

Minneapolis, Jan. 19.-The Winni-

south bound, was wrecked ten miles
out of Minneapolis about 9 a. m. to-
day. The. entire train, with the ex-
ception of the engine, baggage and
express cars, left the rails. The OBJ
servation car and two sleepers turned
over. Three passengers, two men and
one woman who were in the over
turned cars, were injured but not
seriously. The accident was caused
by the train which went west about
midnight last night. A car left the
rails and for stretch of half mile
the flange of the wheels cut the bolts
off the fish plates. When the Winni-
peg flyer struck the track on which
the bolts had been cut, the rails gave
way.

Slowly But the Worst is
Now Known.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Jan. 1s.-News from
Kingston, Jamaica, is still filtering in
slowly and is twenty-fours late, but
the worst is now apparently known.
The town itself is a wreck, very few
of the houses standing remaining ha-
bitable and the populace is living in
the open. Food and medical supplies
continue scarce, but relief ships are
hurrying to the stricken city from
many quarters, SO that there will
soon be an alleviation in this respect.
The dead list is probably about 700,
and seriously injured, in hospitals,
number in the neighborhood of 500.
Many others who were injured are be-
ing cared for at their temporary
homes.

escape from the combination car. He
reached Lafayette on another train

of the revised codes of 1905 is uncon-
stituMonal. This is the law which
permits voter who removes from one
voting precinct to another at such a
time before an election that he cannot
acquire a.residence in the precinct to
which he removes, to vote in the pre-
cinct from which he has removed.
Thirteen bills were introduced and
read first and second time and re-
ferred to the proper committees.
Among the most important was that
of Representative Church of Grand
Forks county. 1t provides that all
warehouses >in the state shall install
sufficient and proper machinery for
the cleaning of all grains which is
placed in storage in such houses and
requires them to clean the grain when
requested to do SO. It is one of the
matters which will likely become :,
law and it is something of a credit to
Grand Forks county that one of its
representatives should be the author
of the same.
The bills in their regular order fol-
lows:
BY Halaas-Providing that the
boards of county commissioners may
make time deposits of the county
funds in any of the regular deposi-
tories whenever the amount of money
on hand reaches $1,000. The bill was
referred to the committee on ways
and means.
Mr.. Halaas also introduced bill re-
quiring all train dispatchers. engi-
neers, conductors, firemen. flagmen,
switchmen and trackmen employed on
any railroad to be examined before
being entrusted with the discharge of
any of their duties, and providing the
methods of conducting such examina-
tion. Referred to the committee on
railroads.
BY Freeman-Providing for the
filing of bond in the sum of 81 500
with the county auditor by every per-
son who intends to operate thresh-
ing machine, which bond shall be for
the securing of the wages due all per-
sons who may assist in the work of
operating such threshing machine dur
ing the season. The bill went to the
committee on labor.
BY Duncan-Amending Section 1882
of the revised codes of 1905 concern
ing redemption of tax titles, making
the period three years with the rate
of interest as specified in the certi-
ficate and five per cent. penalty.
Referred to the committee on taxation
and tax laws.
BY Burdick-Reciprocal demurrage
bill, special mention of which will be
made elsewhere. The bill went to the
judiciary committee.
By Anderson (Grand Forks)-Allow-
ing mortgagors to pay off mortgages
before they were due on the condition
that they pay the amount which would
be due thereon at maturity. The bill
was referred to the judiciary.
BY Tufte-Permitting the solemni-
zation of the marriage ceremony in
counties other than that in which the
license was issued. The bill went to
