GREAT FIRE AT SAGINAW.
Twrnty-five Square* Uurned Over with a
I.oss of 91,500,000.
Saginaw, Michigan, nos visited Saturday
afternoon by the worst baptl.-m of fire It ever
experienced. It wa* first discovered in the
mill plant of Sample <V Camp, ou what Is
known ns the middle ground, south of the
Bristol street bridge, Just before 4 o’clock
and. owing to the strong southeast gale pro
vaMiing, It spread rapidly, setting lire to and
destroying 500,009 feet of lumber on the mill
docks owned by Brown A Ryan, valued at
ffc.o9o. The Bristol bridge next caught fire
and u portion of It was destroyed. Thcnc*
tin; flame* leaped to the ea*t side just below
Bristol street and north of the city ball,
where were located a large number of build
ings, Including Hose bouse No. 6, ami J. F.
Winkler's ioe houses. All the residences on
Tllden street, nnd on both sides of Washing
ton avenue down to Holden street were
quickly licked up.
Then rile fifJhrltfwere carried across the old
bay Into the premises of the George Cross
Lumber Company, the planing mill, lumber
In the yard and a dozen tenement houses
melting like snow. Next came the Alllngton-
Curtis Manufacturing Company’s expensive
plant nnd Rassolt’a old soap factory. Here
Ute fire struck Jefferson street and In which
some of the finest residences In the city were
t-oon In ashes. At Emerson street the fire
continued cast and south along Emerson to
ward the city limits. It cut n wide swath on
O wen, Ilownrd, Sheridan and Warren ave
nues and other streets east. Vincent’s or
phan home succumbed early, but the Inmates
were removed to places of safety. The pa
tients were all removed from Bt. Mary’s hos
pital, which was In extreme danger for a
time, but wlilch was saved.
Tlie area covered by the fire was a mile and
a half in length and from two to four blocks
in width. A largo number of fine residences
were destroyed, oves forty having been de
stroyed that cost from $5,000 to $30,000 each.
It Is estimated that over 250 families are
homeless aud many of them saved nothing
btrt the clothing on their backs.

Coal Miners Strike.
Four thonsnnd miners in the l’iUsburg dis
trict, embracing all the principal mines In
Kansas, went out on a strike on the 10th. The
men arc peaceable, and no trouble Is feared
for the j>ri«ent. The strikers declare that all
Ute 0,000 miners of the state will soon be idlo,
and that the light will be one to the very end.
The trouble is caused by the decision, Apnl
20, of the mine operatom to hereafter pay 53
cents per ton, mine run In winter, and
cent* In summer, all kinds of coal being
counted. Tbo miners demand 15 cents per
ton more than this schedule.
An Armistice in Nicaragua.
The Nicaraguan revolution lias taken nn
unexpected turn. Unofficial advices have
been received at the state department that nn
agreement for an armistice had been reached
by the government nnd revolutionary fac
tions In Nicaragua. No further Information
than this Is obtainable. The source of the
new* Is concealed beyond the fact that It did
not come direct to Becretary Gresham from
Nicaragua. However, the news Is considered
ns Authentic at the department. The absence
of direct advices from Nicaragua Is regarded
aa Inexplicable.
Newfoundland is Independent.
Special cable advices from Bt. Johns, New
foundland, announce that the resolution in
favor of the union of Newfoundland with the
the Dominnn of Canada has been defeated In
the Newfoundland Assembly by a large major

AT THEIR OLD TRICKS
TRAIN ROBBERY IN MISSOURI.
MU I nmaiktd Ructll Kells re an Ei.
press Car In the Regulation
Way.
The weal-bound Mlsaourl Pacific passenger
train waa held up and robl>ed thirty miles
west of St.l.ouls, Wednesday night by six un
masked men. Over s.'>,ooo was secured, the
express and railway officials say. The amount
obtained was probably In excess of their esti
mate.
The train which left St. I.ouls for Kansas
City at 8:40 o'clock reached Pacific station,
twenty-five miles west, on time and without
accident. Here, ns It was afterward learned,
a man boarded the train In front of the ex
press car and Immediately behind the tender
of the engine.
A short distance the other side of Pacific
about a mile—this person climbed over the
tender, and bolding a revolver to the engin
eer's head, said:
“ ‘Twill be d d healthy for you to stop
her right now.’' The engineer stopped the
trnln.
Five confederates of the robber now appear
ed, some getting off the train, the others
coming toward the track out of the darkness
from the adjoining fields.
While two guarded the englno crew the re
maining five, wearing no masks, returned to
the express car and demanded that the door
be opened. Suspecting something evil was
about to happen, the express messenger not
only refused to open the door, but further
proceeded to foil the progress of the robbers
by barring the entrance with such baggage
as he could lay his hands on.
A further demand from the spokesman of
the highway band urging the express messen
ger to open up, receiving no answer, the rob
bers proceeded to place a dynamite cartridge
under tbe door and blow It open. The crush
was deafening and tore a hole nearly two
feet square In the woodwork, scattering the
Interior obstructions In every direction.
The men, who were unmasked, entered the
ear. and. going to the express safe, secured
about I - -*.!>oo and a package valued at $.'1,000
by the Pacific Express Company. The en
gineer was then told to ‘-(Joahead like hell!"
and "Make up your lost time!" Noue of the
passenger cars were entered.
Governor Stone and State Treasurer Steph
ens were aboard the train and the former at
once offered {.‘WO reward for the conviction of
the bandits. A poise Is after them and It Is
thought they will soon be captured.
THE COMMISSIONERS AGREE.
Tl»« National Commission Will Allow
the World’s Fair to Open Sunday*.
Sunday opening has won the day. Thirty
members of the national commission went on
record Tuesday in favor of Sunday opening
rules submitted by the directors. Twenty
seven commissioners voted against considera
tion of the rule. On a final test the commit-
Blon voted to substitute the minority or Sun
day opening report of the judiciary commit
tee for the majority report, which favored
Sunday closing. The question then came
up on the modification of the directory rule
with the 6ainu vote. The actlug chairman,
Commissioner lie Young, then announced
that the rules had been modified by the coin
m (salon.
In the debate that preceded the voting,
Chairman Massey of the judiciary committee,
who formulated the majority report, led the
Sunday-closing advocates and was seconded
by Commissioners Hundlc and Touslcy. The
minority report found iu advocates iu Com
missioners St. Clair and Burton.
Attorney-General Olncy slates that If an
attempt Is made to open the World’s Fair on
Sunday, be will ask the courts at Chicago to
enjoin it.
Severe Storm at Cleveland.
For live minutes Tuesday morning a cyclone
or f-omething approaching one, toyed with
the chimneys, wires, scaffolds, wagons, and
even people In Cleveland, Ohio. The first In
timation of the blow was a cloud of dust and
debris that swooped down on the city from
the west, and before preparations could be
made to meet the gale It had come, done Its
mischief and departed. Two men were killed,
three fatally Injured, and at least fifty people
were cut and bruised by being thrown to the
pavement or against buildings. The Cleve
land Rolling Mill Company Is erecting a new
mill In New burg, and the scaffolding was
blown down, burying Vaclsy Kobeck and
John I’oplowbkl under the ruins. Both were
dead when taken out. The fatally Injured
nrc: Anthony McGuire and Anton Arcofskl.
At the corner of Eric and Superior streets a
scaffolding was blown to the ground and four
men wlio were working tinder It were seriously
Injured. They were William Otnalln, Michael
Murphy, Michael Hughes and Miles Johnson.
The first two were Imdiy hurt and it Is possi
ble that they will not recover.
About seventy feet of tlya. SboTfc
freleh'- ■LcoyA *Hr demolished anil the roof
■"was sent Hying to the lake shore Itself. A
ear on the Asheville avenue street car line
was blown from the track and the three pas
sengers were given a good shaking up. The
sturm extended all over the Ohio valley and
along the great lakes.
Bad Influence of Army Life.
In the Presbyterian General Assembly on
the 23rd the following recommendation of tlie
United Christian Commission wav made and
approved by the Assembly.
It was to the effect that the commission
intis* discourage the enlistment of the sons of
Christian families Into the army unless >ome
safeguards, now lacking, nre thrown nbont
them. Gambling In the army I* not prohibited
either by law or regulation and Is encouraged
by example of older officers and soldiers; the
post canteen affords unrestricted opportunity
for and Inducement to drink; the architec
ture of barracks places Christian soldiers at a
fearful disadvantage, exposing them to the
vices and Indecencies of Irreligious members
of llie rank and file. Sunday work not called
for by any exigency, Is still required by the
army authorities; the recommendations of re
ligious teachers In the army for the benefit, of
soldiers do not receive the approval or con
sideration of the authorities, In fact they arc
discouraged. The commission recommended
Hint the army orders of August 0 last on tills
subject be revoked and that chaplains be ap
pointed for every regiment The. recommen
dations of the committee were approved and
the report received.
International Miners’ Conference.
The miners' International conference nt Its
session nt Brussels on the 24th,adopted a reso
lution In favor of an eight-hour working day
In the mines. The supporters of the resolu
tion represented 000,000 miners ami the op
ponents represented 100,000 miners. The
conference then proceeded to discuss the
question of a universal strike to force
the eight-hour system. The discussion of.
tills question was somewhat, lengthy, a strong
minority being against tbe proposition for,
universal strike to compel the establishment
of a legal eight-hour day. The supporters of
the proposition were vehement In their de-,
claratlons that the end sought would never be
obtained until an International strike fcrccd
employers and legislatures to recognize that
tbe miners were determined to secure what'
they deemed their rights
When the question was put to a vote an
overwhelming majority supported the propo
sition. Delegates representing I*oo,ooo miners
voted In favor of an International strike,
while the delegates who opposed such action
represented only 12,000.

der the care of the board aggregates 868, of
which 87 are Germans and 106 negroes.
Turks are Particular.
Advices from San Francisco regarding ths
eelzure of Ilarper't Mayaiint by the Turkish
government on account of the alleged Immor
ality of Its contents, state that the seizure was
not, as at first reported, because the book
contained poems by Bchleget. but was prob
ably due to an article on European armlet
and tbe political situation, which would tiot
be considered objeotlonable anywhere out
side of Turkey. The seizure of Bchlegct’s
poems was made separately, and both actions
were explained as having bean taken In the
Interest of morality. The magazine and
poems were tho property of an Englishman,
residing In Constantinople. They were
stopped and confiscated by the Turkish cus
toms officials, presumably on advice of ths
censor.
The Northern Pacific.
The directors of the Northern Pacific before

HE MET HER BUT ONCE.
THE TRUE STORY OF A SIN
GULAR ENCOUNTER.
The Heroine of the Adventure Known
to the Hero. Vet More of Her
Than He Discovered Then
He Never Knew.
Ono morning In May I chanood to
bo strolling down an avenue noted as
a fashionable promonode; tno day
was bright and I felt vexed that I
had Inadvertently piokod up my um
brella instead of a cane. However,
tho annoyance soon merged into
gratification, for suddenly tho sun
disappeared and a drenching shower
scattered tho pedestrians in every
direction. My umbrella proved of
littlo avail, and nearing the Hotel
the ladios’ entrance. Hastily open
ing tho outer door, I was soon in tho
vestibulo.
There stood a woman whoso ap
pearanco I shall never forget. She
was of medium height and plainly
though fushionably dressed; her faco
was not beautiful, but it was strik
ingly intellectual, and furthermore,
it possessed that charm called by tho
English fetching. That she was of
gentle birth I instinctively felt con
fident, but what Impressed mo more
deeply was the expression of grief,
of trouble, which the first glanoe at
hor face revealed; she also appeared
quite unable to oontrol her norvous
noHfc. Protending to allow ray closed
untfvolla to drip before ontoring tho
hodso, I stood almost at her tldo glanc
ing out the glass-paneled door and
watching hor at intervals. She
sljowod in every motion sho was not
at easo, says a Philadelphia Times
writer.
At length, without knowing what
jirompted mo to do so, 1 said:
••Pardon mo, but may I bo of any
scrvico to you?”
"If I might borrow your umbrella
’for a few moments 1 shall bo under
lasting obligations to you.”
Sho refused politely but firmly my
repeated efforts to persuade her to
let mo call a cab, aud saying, "I will
return it to you here,” sho tripped
rapidly down tho steps and turned In
the direction of "up town.”
I entered tbo hotel and lighted a
cigar. As I sat smoking, at peace
with tho world, I wondered what it
was that so troubled tho littlo woman.
My cigar finished, I returned through
the corridor and again stood in tho
vestibulo. 'Die sun had rcappearod
and was shining brightly. I stepped
aside to allow a woman to enter and
was about to close the door for her
when sho said:
"Sir, I think those aro for you.”
With thiH sho handed mo a card, a
tuberose almost hidden lu throo lcavos
of English ivy and my umbrella. I
glanced ut tbo card, it road: "Mrs.
Alfred B—■” It was tho name of a
man beside whoso doathbod I had ret'
years before in Arizona! Above tho
name was written with a pencil,
"With many thanks for tho courtesy
of a stranger. ”
Was this poor old B—’h wifo? Over
and over again I asked mysolf this
question. Though B— and I had
been cliuras In old cavalry duys, and
I had known him to boa married
man, yet I had novor met his wife.
Unaccountable as it may seem, this
woman filled my thoughts. I throw
down the SvonTffg paper impatiently
and went to the play. It was use
less. I still saw that troubled faco.
"Suroly,” I said mentally, "if B—’s
wifo is in trouble I may claim ac
quaintance with hor through his
memory. If not by tho Instrumental
ity of tfno umbrella episode. It was
stupid in mo not lo havo askod tho
maid where sho lived. But perhaps
tho card bears her rosidcnce. Yes;
81 avenue.’ I will call to-morrow.”
1 rested badly and nroso unro
fro3hed. By li! o’clock I was well on
my way toward hor dwolling. I
passed No. 80 and thought hers is tho
second door beyond. Alas! A largo

The following day found me once
more at my post. At noon a hearse
turned into tho aTonue. I followed
slowly. It stopped befoj’o hor door,

waß being borne down tho steps. It

As they slowly progressed I followed
in their wake. I felt positive of their
destination. I was near tho steps of
the ohuroh as the persons alighted
from the carriages. "Yes, that must
bo sho.” To bu sure I could not too
her faco bouoath tho hoavy veil, and
I was conscious of some chango In
her figure, but this I attributed to
the sombre apparel.
' I onterod tho scantily-filled church
and occupied oue of tho roar pows.
Tho words of the old clergyman
scarcely reached me. A hymn was
sung; a prayer followod. Then up
the aisle in slow procession movod
thoso who wished to take a farewell
look at the dead. '*?
"Will sho think it vulgar curiosity
In mo?” I asked mysolf, as I took my
pluco In lino. "Sho will seo me, of
oourse, as I pass hor pew.”
But 6bo did not. Tho hoad I
thought to bo hers was bent down,
as If in praye:*. I neared tho casket
and there stood longer than I should
have done, gpollbound. The troubled
look had entiroly diaappoarod and in

tuberose and laid it upon hor breast.
