Near Fresno, II miles out, n OF
the squads of cavalry fell behind to
guard the road. They were ambushed
by the rebels, who opened fire from
hills on both sides.
Captain Florentine Gavica with so
troopers drove the enemy from their
positions. Captain Gavica waited for
a portion of the federals who had gone
forward. to reinforce him before pur.
suing the insurrectionists. In the
meantime the latter took a position
on another hill a short distance away
and prepared to resist an attack.
Stone Wall Used As Fort.
Within half an hour General Navar.

ry and opened fire. Again the rebels
retreated only to seek a e position
from which they were again dislodged.
At last they fortified themselves be.
hind a stone wall where they made a
determined stand. The firing was
heavy and here most of the loss OF
life occurred.
After several hours of heavy firing
the rebels broke for the mountains.
They were pursued by the infantry for
some three miles. The cavalry did not
Join in the pursuit because Of the
rough character of the country. Be-
hind the stone wall the bodies Of Is
rebels and 10 dead horses were found.
The federals abandoned the pursuit

WOMEN EMPLOYEES LOSE LIVES
As FLAMES SWEEP NEW.
ARK FACTORY.
FIFTY Girls ARE TRAPPED
Many Leap From the Upper Floors
and Are Crushed.-SeveraI
of the Injured May
Die.

Newark. New Jersey Twenty-Five
persons were killed and many in
iured in a fire which destroyed a fac
tory building on High street.
Twenty-four bodies have been taken
out and one employe of the factory is
missing. Practically all of the
victims we're young women, employees
of the manufacturing concerns which
occupied the building. Some were
saved by jumping into life nets.
Fifty girls were trapped in the
fourth floor of the four-story build
ing, occupied by Louis Wolff, manu-
facturer of underwear, and many
were killed or injured by jumping.
The fire is believed to have been
caused by an explosion in the plant of
the Anchor Lamp company, on the
third floor. 1t spread with great ra-
pidity throughout the building.
Spectator Saw IS Jump.
One of the spectators said that at
least fifteen girls had jumped from
the fourth floor. They stood at the
window until, frenzied by the flames
behind them and nearly sufiocated by
the smoke, they leaped to the street.
Two girls employed by the Aetna
Company were burned, Sadie Hanson
and Mrs. Margaret Molanthy. Each
sustained burns about the head and
face.
Eugene McHugh, a foreman in the
! employ Of the Aetna company. proved
himself a hero. He guided several
score of girls to safety down a fire
escape. Nearly all escaped injury.
Priest Gives Last Rites.
Less than twenty minutes after the
arrival of the firemen the interior Of
the building was flame-swept. The
floors of the upper part Of the build
ing fell shortly a%fterward. 1t is be
lieved a search OF the ruins will re
veal other bodies.
Among those who were early at thu
scene was Rev. Father f. F. Quirk, as
sistant rector of st. Joseph's church
He gave last rites OF the church t.
seven of the victims. The prizes
worked nobly helping the firemen tt

PENNSY TUNNEL OPENED
TRAINS ROLL UNDER HUDSON TO
NEW YORK.
Greatest Railway Station In World
Is Now in Full Opera
ton.

New York, n. Y.-For the 0rst
on this continent passengers for Wash
ington and points TO the south and
west walked into a station on Man
haitian island, stretched out in their
berths and rode through without
change-under the Hudson river. The
new Pennsylvania station was formal
ly declared open and the first trains
rolled under the river.
When the improvement is complet-
ed, passengers from any point south
and west of New York will ride under
the city and the East and North riv-
ers that bound 1t. to Boston and other
New England points without change,
but before that becomes possible IT
will be necessary to build the New
York connecting line, from Long Is
land City across He'll Gate to a point
Of junction with the New York, New
Haven and Hartford system. Work
on the approaches is already well un-
der way.
Thus the dream of Alexander Cas-
Satt, u time president or the Penn
sylyania railroad. becomes an actual
ity. He did not live to see the &C
complished fact or realize what 1t
would cost. The exact figures are not
yet available. but those in hand show
expenditures of $780, 900. 900 and up
wards. Work on the tunnels began
June 10, 1903, and on the station May
/, 1904. Five hundred buildings were
RACED to make way for the station,
which with the train yards has an
area of % acres and is said they oc.
cupy more ground than any other
building in the world ever constructed
at one point. Five hundred electric
arcs and 10000 incandescent bulbs
illuminate it.

From London ONE the announce
ment Of the death of the woman who
claimed to be the original of Little
Dickens. The lady was entitled to the
benefit of the doubt. but 1t Is a fact
that similar claims have been made by
others. 1t is also asserted that a
brother OF the woman who has just
died was the original Tiny Tim," and
that he served in part as the model for
Paul Dombey." If all those asser-
tions can be proved it would seem
that the family formed a sort of trust
for Dickens characters.

she deems best. He complains that
his statement published on Nov. 20,

he considered most important and he
proceeds exhaustively to analyze the
evidence on these points. He asks
that Miss LIE Neve look for no further
evidence, adding:
Il can safely leave further evidence
to a just God"
He expressed the hope that Miss Ii
Neve will go to Mrs. H." where she
will be free from the lying tales o.
the newspaper men and concludes:
Tomorrow I will be in Gods hands
have perfect faith that He will let m!
spirit be with you always"
The paper prints a fac smile o

English owners of homing pigeons
have lost SO many of them this season
that they believe there is an especial
cause. This cause. many of them are
inclined to suspect. is wireless telegra-
ply. Many will dismiss the indict-
ment as fanciful. on account of the
comparative weakness of the current
which wireless telegraphy brings into
play. The answer to this is that the
current does not kill the birds, but
only confuses them. causing them to
miss their way. If the Marconi cur
rent affects pigeons, why not gulls?
Indeed, 1t would seem not impossible
that wireless telegraph stations may
bo the means of greater disaster to
gulls than lighthouses.
