ALL IN A FIRETRAP.
Nine Hundred Employes
Caught in a Blazing
Factory.
THERE ARE NO ESCAPES.
Girls Made Frantic by the
Flames Jump From a
Window.
MANGLED ON A ROOF BELOW.
Criminal Carelessness the Cause of
Many Being Injured—
Fatally.
MONTREAL, Quebec, April 25.— C.
McDonald's extensive tobacco factory on
Ontario street was partly destroyed by fire
this evening. The loss will reach half a
million dollars, on which there is no insur
ance.
There was not a fire escape on the out-
Bide nor any appliances on the inside of
the building for the fighting of the fire.
Even the windows were guarded by heavy
iron screens, presumably to prevent theft.
The fire started at . o'clock in the drying
room and for a while smoldered. Then
suddenly the flames burst through and a
most awful panic ensued. There were 900
employes in the building and more than
half this number were women and girls.-
The shrieks of the women as they beat
against the iron screens, praying the crowd
todo something to save them, were most
heartrending. As the flames burst through
four firemen were on the roof, and for
twenty minutes their lives were despaired
of, until finally ladders were found to bring
them down. . .
They were badly burned. The girls were
nearly all on the fourth floor and were
frantic with fear. With much trouble one
of the iron lattices was knocked off, when
one of the girls jumped and was almost
shattered to pieces when she reached the
roof of an adjoining warehouse. In a
similar manner the others followed to the
number of thirty. The ambulances were
kept busy carrying the women and girls
to the hospital, and some were driven in
cabs to their homes. So far only one is
known to be dead, but several are believed
to be in the ruins.
It was nearly midnight before the place
could be entered safely, and owing to the
darkness very little work can be done be
fore morning.
The Associated Press correspondent in
terviewed several who escaped. They say
the scene on the fourth floor was beyond
description. When the first rash for the
stairway occurred, the passage was solidly
packed, and many fainted and fell under
the feet of the crowd. Then a rush was
made to the windows. But the crowd
forgot about the heavy screens which
guarded that means of escape. Frantic
women tore their hands beating against
the cruel obstructions, but the irons were
too strong for their feeble blows.
Death seemed inevitable until Marie
Gagnon found a window that yielded to
the determined blows of those who could
get their united efforts to bear. This win
dow overlooked an extensive one-story
warehouse. Without a moment's hesita
tion the woman leaped onto the roof
below. Encouraged by her daring and
impelled by the smoke and flames which
were making rapid progress in that part of
the building, other women followed her ex
ample until about twenty maimed and
bruised forms were piled on the warehouse
roof. By this time the passageway had
become sufficiently cleared to permit a
more rapid clearing of the building. The
work of rescue by means of fire extension
ladders was in progress and many almost
inanimate forms were carried out by the
firemen. .\ j.-
On the third floor, where the fire started,
the scenes were almost as heartrending,
but, being warned sooner, the operatives
there were able to escape quicker by the
stairways Many were terribly crushed in
the mad rush, but the most serious casual
ties were confined to those on the top floor.
Great indignation is expressed against
the officials whose duty it is to see that the
law is enforced in regard to the fire-escape
appliances.
From inquiries at the hospitals at a late
hour to-night concerning the condition of
the ' girls injured by jumping from the
window of the burning building, it was
learned that but little hope is entertained
for the recovery of at least five. Marie
Gagnon, the first girl to make the terrible
leap from the fourth floor, was picked up
with her back broken . and cannot live
many hours.
BESIEGED THE FORTRESS
Persistent Attacks Made by the
Natives on the Citadel
of Chitral.
After Days of Hard Fighting the
British .Forces Finally Routed
the Enemy.
CALCUTTA, April 25.— A dispatch from
Simla to-day announces the contents of
the diary of Dr. Robertson, the British
political agent atChitral, who was besieged
in a fort there and relieved on Saturday
last by a column commanded by Colonel
Kelly, which reached Chitral from Gilgit,
after accomplishing a brilliant military
achievement in passing over the snow
covered Shandar Pass, 12,000 to 14,000 feet
above the level of the sea. He says on the
march the British garrison lost twenty-two
officers and men killed and thirty-one
wounded.
The siege proper began on March 4. On
the Bth the enemy tried to set fire to the
water-tower, and on the 14th the besiegers
attacked the east side of the fort, but were
repulsed. The tribesmen occupied the sum
mer-house, about fifty yards from the
tower, on April 15, and on the 16th ad
vanced and stormed breastworks to within
forty yards of the main gate of the fort.
On April 7 the enemy fired the tower.
While the garrison was fighting the flames
Dr. Robertson was wounded and several of
the British force we're killed or wounded.
The enemy attempted on April 8 to set fire
to the citadel, and on the 11th the fort was
attacked on all sides.
The garrison made a sortie on April 17,
recaptured the summer-house and blew up
the enemy's mine. The British loss in the
sortie was eight killed and thirteen
wounded. The enemy lost sixty killed, of
whom thirty-five were bayoneted by the
troops. On April 19 the siege was raised.
The British soldiers suffered terribly from
bad food and the exhaustion of the medical
stores. The heavy loss of life suffered by
the besieged was due to the splendid marks
manship of the tribesmen.

CYCLING TO LOS GATOS.
How Four Hearty Epworth
Leaguers Went to a Con-
vention.
Started Early and Expected to Make
an Easy Ten Miles an
Hour.
Four robust members of the Epworth
League rode from this city to Los Gatos
yesterday where the annual convention of
the league was opened early in the day.
For some time past Dr. Thomas Fletcher,
who is an enthusiastic wheelman, and be
longs to the Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation Bicycle Club, has been laboring to
nave the delegates to the fifth annual Ep
worth League convention of this district
cover on bicycles the distance from this
city to Los Gatos, where the convention
began yesterday. The sixty-live miles of
dusty road, however, proved a difficulty
which thirty odd delegates had no desire
to overcome, so when the appointed hour
arrived only Dr. Fletcher, R. A. Brayman,
R. E. Currie and S. J. Hammond Jr. were
on hand with their bicyles. Nothing
daunts Dr. Fletcher, though. He has all
the sanguine nature of an adventurous
Englishman.
During the Young Men's Christian As
sociation gathering at Santa Cruz he then
and there set the pace for a total disregard
of the conventional methods of transporta
tion, and while others lounged in cush
ioned railway cars he rode to Santa Cruz
astride his bicycle.
So numbers were of little concern to
Dr. Fletcher, when the start was made
from the Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church, corner of Twenty-first and Capp
streets, at a few minutes after 7 a.m. In
his cream-colored sweater and black stock
ing he was happy with three genial com
panions to boot.
"About ten miles an hour easily, and a
splendid road all the way," was the hope
ful manner in which he put it when the
signal to start was given, and President
W. E. Snook of the League Alliance wished
him and his comrades a merry god-speed.
At ten miles an hour Los Gatos could be
reached in time fortnc convention opening.
Fletcher was in the lead, with young
Hammond a fair second, Brayman a prom
ising third and Currie a leisurely fourth
as they rolled ont Twenty-first street to
Folsom. They then disappeared to go out
the San Bruno road and take the bay shore
road. ■:.*_;.. ,__ _....■. *-~r-Vv _'
•"The- other delegates left on the narrow-
gauge train at 8:15 a. m. About 150 dele
gates, it was thought, would take part in
the convention, whicb lasts until this
evening. "
The following papers to be read were on
the programme :
"Epworth Army at Chattanoogo," hy C. A.
Maydwell; "Mercy and Help," by .Miss M. E.
Speakman; "The Spiritual Department," by
\v. H. Hammon; "The Social Department," by
Miss Lottie M. Manzer, and Dr. J. ii. Beard is
booked for an address to-day on the question,
"How Can the League Help the University?"
and C. W. Coyle on the question of "Our lit
erature."
The address of welcome at Los Gatos was
made by Rev. H. F. Briggs and responded
to by Rev. R. S. Cantiue, D.D.

following notice to Olympic ,Club wheel
men:
A club run wilj bo called to Mill Valley next

turn out. Wear white sweater. No coat.
THE OARSMEN ARE READY.
Crews of the University and
Columbia Boating
„ . _ Clubs.
Races That Will Take Place To-
Morrow In the Oakland
Estuary.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Uni
versity boathouse and the club's new and
handsome yacht was destroyed by fire on
Wednesday last, the rowing contests will
positively take place, as previously an
nounced in the Call, to-morrow afternoon,
and an excellent day's sport is sure to re
sult, as the crews are well trained and an
xious for the race, which will be held in
the Oakland estuary, off Sessions Basin,
between the '1 . C." Boating Association
and the Columbia Boat Club.
The men who will make up the U. C.
team are Dwight Hutchinson, No. 1; Wil
liam M. Cole, No. 2; John L. Whitten
meyer, No. 3; N. C. Grew, stroke and
captain, and Easton, coxswain.
Those who will pull the oars for the
Columbia Club are A. D. Smith, No. 1;
Paxton Howard, No. 2; Alexander Ros
borough, No. 3; Harry Haight, stroke and
tain, and J. Clement, coxswain.
Both crews have been training faithfully
for the past six weeks and are in excellent
condition for the contest.
The Columbia** have slightly the advan
tage over the U. C. team, owing to the fact
that two men on their team are old racers,
having held places in the shell under the
colors of Harvard and Yale.
The University crew has been training
under the direction of Coach Garnett, the
Harvard graduate, who did so much
toward interesting the college boys in
aquatic sports lust year. At the opening
of the training season this year so great
was the desire among the brawny-armed
students to be put on" the crew that nine
teen tried for the four places to be filled.
G. Folger of Harvard has had the Co
lumbia crew in charge, and has spared no
effort to put the men in good training.
Two new racing-shells, exactly alike in
every detail, each 40 feet long and weigh
ing 190 pounds, have been made especially
for this contest at a cost of $400 for the two.
The course over which the crews will
race is to be one mile and return, the start
and finish bcin^at the same point.
A grand stand which will accommodate
1500 spectators has been erected near the
boathouses, immediately in front of the
finish, and commanding a view of the en
tire course.
A new style of rowing for men on this
coast will be introduced by each team, and
the main purpose of the contest seems to
be to determine which of the two forms of
rowing will bring the best results.
The University Club team will try the
combination stroke, which the victorious
Cornell team will use when they row
against Oxford this summer. The Colum
bias will try the Bob Cook stroke, used so
successfully by the Yale crew of '94.
In addition to the scull race between the
University Club and Columbia crews there
will be single sculls by members of the
Alameda Boating Club, the Columbias
and University Club. If the weather per
mits there will also be a number of swim
ming contests. j;','
Governor Budd and his staff have signi
fied their intention of being present at the
race, and from the number of tickets that
have been disposed of it seems as though
it will be a society event.
The officials of the day have not yet
bee» decided upon. They will in all prob
ability be named on the ground at the
time of the race.

George Covington, the popular owner and
trainer, departed for Chicago yesterday with
his string of horses, comprising imp. Thorn,
imp. Vigor, Tamerlane, Find Out and Birdie C,
the latter a very speedy Red Iron filly, that
will bear watching. Alec Covington (the
Major) also left with the string.
But for the excitement caused by horses
turning somersaults over fences, jockeys
spinning on their heads, and finally a 15
to 1 chance winning the hurdle race, the
sport could have been accounted tame at
the track yesterday. The sport is to a de
gree losing its charm for the fair sex, for
their numbers have been thinning out of
lute, and yesterday the diminution was
marked.
First or second choices captured the first
four races, then outsiders slipped in.
The first event on the card, a six-furlong
race for maidens, gave Theodore Winters
an opportunity to tuck a purse in his
pocket. Morgan G, the 9 to 20 favorite,
galloped away with the race from an extra
bad assortment. The Wah-to-Wah filly
downed Halifax for the place in a drive.
Educated money said Sympathetic .Last
for the next race, over the short six fur
longs, while the public coin said Centurion.
It was a problem easily solved.
Getting away from the post fourth when
the flag fell, Sympathetic _ Last soon went
to the front and was never headed, winning
by a length from the 9 to 5 favorite Cen
turion, who came fast at the finish. Miss
Buckley was a fair third. . - r
Rear Guard made such a show of Tar
and Tartar a few days ago that even money
was eagerly gobbled up against him, and
the ring was shouting for Jack Richelieu
money, his price finally reaching threes.
Of the outsiders Don Ca_sar at 10 to 1 and
Trix at 8 to 1 received considerable sup
port.
Getting somewhat the best of the start
Kilty L headed the field past the quarter,
when Jack Richelieu went to the front and
was never headed, winning ridden out, a
length in front of Rear Guard. Trix was a
distant third.
Fourth on the card, the match'race, short
six furlongs, between Seraphin and the
Ledette filly for $1000 a side, proved very
one-sided. The betting against Seraphin
was _ to 10, and 11 to 5 against the Ledette
filly.
-lie favorite led from the drop of the flag,
winning in a jog.
The mile and a quarter hurdle race was
the scene of a chapter of tumbles aud nar
row escapes. Cariuel made his debut as a
"Upper" and was plugged at 2'_ and 3 to 1.
North at threes and Esperance at 5 to 1
were next in demand. .
While leading Chiquito struck the third
jump and, turning a complete somersault,
landed on the inside of the inner rail, roll
ing on his rider, Swift. The jockey luckily
escaped with a dislocated elbow. Prince
Idle also met with disaster at this jump,
his rider escaping uninjured. Mero as
sumed command Hearing the stretch and
won at the end easily by three lengths
from North, with Esperance third, half a
length away. Modesto, while coming fast,
struck the fast jump, taking a nasty tum
ble. Henncssy escaped injury.
On performances Ricardo had all the
best of it, and was backed for a barrel of
money to win the last number on the card,
a six-furlong sprint. Although heavily
played he opened at 2% to 1 and closed but
naif a point lower. Euro at threes and
McFarlane at 7 to 2 were also well backed.
Outside of her owner, Bookmaker Rose,
Lady Jane was lightly supported.
It was all over from the fall of the Hag.
Lady Jane got a flying start of three open
lengths, and won by three lengths from
the favorite, who was let off very badly.
Huntsman was a poor third. It was one
of Starter Ferguson's worst efforts in a
good while, and caused considerable grum
bling. MULHOLLAND.

TRIED TO DRUG A HORSE
The Ledette Filly Had a Nar
row Escape From a
"Doping."
A Colored Stableman Charges Tom
Warren With the Das
tardly Act.
A very neat little scheme was nipped in
j the bud at the racetrack on Wednesday
evening, whereby the Ledette filly, which
ran in the match race yesterday against
Seraphin, was to have been drugged,
ostensibly for the purpose of making it a
"cinch" for Seraphin.
Late Wednesday afternoon a colored
man, known as Cuba, in the employ of
Charles Boots, owner of the Ledette filly,
was approached by a man named Fred
Warren, also known as Tom Warren, a
parasite of the turf, who, so it is alleged,
made the fact known to the colored man
that it would be $100 in his pocket if he
would consider his proposition.
"Cuba" says the proposal was to give the
filly a dose of hypnotizing liquid.
Accompanying it, as a sort of legal
binder, was ass gold piece. To all intents
the colored employe readily assented to
the scheme, and was to receive the balance
of the coin the day following.
The colored boy reported the whole mat
ter to Mr. Boots, handing him the delete
rious drug. Owner Boots at once had new
Yale locks placed on the filly's stall, and,
as an extra precaution, two of his most
trusted men were put on watch to guard
the stable. The filly ran in the match,
•and was easily defeated, but showed no
signs of having been drugged.
The whole case was laid before President
Williams of the Jockey Club, and a thor
ough investigation of the affair is goiiig on.
The drug is in the hands of a chem
ist for analysis, and if found that its effects
would have been fatal, Warren, who is
under arrest, will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law, prescribed in such
cases. V 'V
That others were concerned in the das
tardly job is certain, and the stewards in
tend sifting the matter to the bottom, and
if the guilty persons are brought to light,
some ruling off will probably be done.
From facts. learned in connection with
the case, the stewards have suspended
Denny Lynch, one of the owners of the
Arizona stable.
T. P. Mogan, a young lawyer who was
fleeted by the solid eight of the Board of
Supervisors as Prosecuting Attorney of
Judge Conlan's court, called at the "City
Prison last night and demanded permis
sion to see Warren, who was entered on
the detinue book without being charged.
Mogan was accompanied by five well
known gamblers. He insisted on his right
to see the prisoner, stating that he was
Prosecuting Attorney of Police Court 2,
though his appointment dates from May
1. He was refused admittance to the pris
on, however, and 'had to leave with his
gambler friends. ■_
NORTH GOES. EAST.
The University Athletic Team Will
Leave for Princeton Next
Month.
Arthur W. North, U. C, '95, manager of
the university athletic team which will
start for the East on next Thursday, left
his home in Yolo County last night for
Denver and other points East, to complete
arrangements and make new engagements
for the oncoming team. He will endeavor
to arrange a contest with the Denver Ath
letic Association, to take place at some
date toward the close of June, on the re
turn trip of the team.
From Denver Mr. North will go to Chi
cago, and then to Ann Arbor, where ar
rangements will be perfected for the con
test which will take place between the U.
C. team and the Western Intercollegiate
Athletic Association on June 1.
From Ann Arbor he will co directly to
Philadelphia and then to Princeton, where
he will remain until the team arrives on
May 7.
The first contest in which the U. C. team
will enter will be with the Princeton men,
May 11. They will then have a rest of one
week, and on May 18 will meet the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania men at Phila
delphia.
It is the purpose of the manager to have
his team enter the Mott-Haven games at
New York on May 25.
This will be the largest meet in which
the teams will enter, since representa
tives from all the athletic clubs within a
radius of 200 miles are expected to contest.
At these games the team will have an
opportunity to compare their men with the
ale and Harvard athletes, as this will be
the only contest in - which men from the
two great universities of the East will
enter against the team from California.
On the return; trip the U. C, boys will
meet the University of Michigan at
Detroit on June 8, and in all probability
the Denver Athletic Club on June 15.

Many Metallic Elver Stimulants Are

I DISCOVERED TESTKRDAT THAT I HAD A
liver. It was not known to me before. True, It
had been told to me that I wst like all other mor-
tals, and as yoa know, all mortals have livers. But
the reason I discovered my liver is obvious. My
liver became swollen. it was sluggish, and waa In*
deed much larger than ever before. The doctor
said:
That I waa Jaundiced.
That I wan billon*.
That I was drowsy.
That I had bilious headache*.
That I had Indigestion.
That I -was constipated.
And why— forsooth, because my liver had besom*
swollen, sluggish, and had refuted nature's stimu-
lants. The doctor said I ought to use
Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
He. the doctor, said excretions had accumulated
within the liver, which caused It to be swollen
and to be Inactive. He told me I ought to ess
Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla because It only con-
tained vegetable herbs. He told me, the doctor,
that all metallic liver stimulants, such as mercury

That he knew It to be the best stimulant.
That he knew Its effects to be mild.
