AND NOW THEY LI
A Mexican Dissected While
Still Alive.
THE BUTTE DISASTER AFTERMATH
Railroad Men Rnevr Powder Was Stored
in the Burning Building Insur
ance Wal Very Small.
City of Mexico, Jan. 18. Ihe peo
' pie of Mexico are greatly excited over
the dissection of Antonio Vangose, while
still alive. The supposed corpse sprang
to its feet shouting, "Don't kill me!
whereupon the dissector endeavored to
pnt back t ht pieces of flesh and sew up
the incision--. The man was a genuine
corpse in tw lays.
The Uutte Disaster.
Butte, Mont., Jan.. 18. Hour after
hour the disaster has been putting on
more distressing proportions. The real
weight and extent of the terrible calain
ity will never be know. The list of the
known dead has swelled to 53, and there
are at least four in the hospitals wh
cannot recover, John Sloan, Char
Ash ton, W. L. Miles and William Bow
Others were fatally injured. To the list
of missing Charles Hoffhaner was added
today. A few hours before the explo
sion he was up town and purchased a
new pair of shoes, and on his way home
he evidently stopped at the fire. One
of the new shoeB, which he had under
his arm, has been found a quarter of a
mile away from the scene of the catas
trophe, but not a fragment of Hoffhauer
has been found.
Including the list of 53 today are four
t the missing firemen Dave Moses
Samuel ABh, P. J. Norling and Ed
Sloan but not Hoffhaner, nor any other
of the missing. No doubt many were
blown to atoms who will never be heard
of.
Among the debris was found a number
of letters addressed to William Moffett
463 Tremont street, Boston. Thejetters
were from Canada, and were signed Am
brose Allen. It is supposed he is among
.the victims. A number of bills from
the lumber company to T. Mackie were
also found. Another letter found was
one from Portland, Or., signed E. C
Smith. Only a portion of the letter
was found, and the letter closed with
"If you see P. C. W. give him my best
regards."
A portion of a body has been found
supposed to be that of J. D. Cameron,
fire marshal, but the identification is
not certain, there being nothing to dis
tinguish it but a belt which was exactly
similar to that worn by the assistant
chief, whose body was also unrecogniza
ble.
Every hour brings additional reports
of the injured. Fully 100 have been
heard from, many being in a serious
condition. Evan Evans was on the
Bcene directly after the first explosion
and started to assist in removing the in
jured. When the second explosion oc
ured he was picked up and carried
some distance in the air, and far from
the scene. All his clothes were torn
from his body, but the only injury he
sustained was a punctured right cheek
and a cut in his left side. The flash
was seen and the concussion of the ex
plosion severely felt at Belgrade, on the
other side of the mountain range and 85
miles from Butte.
T I a. .
joroner rucnaras naa impaneled a
jury, but County Attorney Wines was
not satisfied with its complexion, and
ordered it discharged and another, made
up of representative business men, is to
be impaneled. The dead bodies were
viewed and an inquest of them post
poned until Monday, owing to the un
settled state of public feeling. Funerals
of the dead firemen will be held tomor
row. All business will be suspended,
and the public officials and military and
civic societies will participate. The
work of relief was Set in progress today
and nearly $12,000 subscribed.
It is significant, in looking for the
cause of the explosion, that nearly all
the railroad men who were employed
about the Montana Central yards, fled
when . the fire began. Most of them
knew there was a large quantity of pow
der stored in the neighborhood, and
they ' informed everybody they met to
that effect. There was but $6,500 in
surance on all the property destroyed,
outside of that owned by the railroad
companies. Although the owners of the
warehouses where the explosions oc
curred state they had less than 150
pounds of giant powder in their build
ings, it is estimated by mining men who
are familiar with explosives that at
least twenty tons of powder were in the
house. The law limits the storage of
powder within one niile of the city limits
to 150 pounds, but the penalty for its
violation is only a nominal fine. . The
citizens of Butte, however, are deter
mined to fix the blame where it belongs,
and the investigation at the inquest will
be thorough.

BAYONETS WERE USED
Militia Forced to Charge the
Strikers in Brooklyn.
TWO MEN AND A WOMAN WOUNDED
Strikers Are Thought to Have Made
Arrangements to Confer With
the Railroad Officials.
Brooklyn, Jan. 19. Three thousand
men are under arms in Brooklyn to
night. Rioting has been the order of
the day, and the strikers had some ser
ious clashes with the militia. In many
instances non-union men were badly
hurt, and so fierce were the attacks of
the strikers tonight that the soldiers had
to resort to the bayonet. Several strik
ers or sympathizers were bayoneted, and
the situation is considered the gravest
that has confronted she authorities for
many years. The board of mediation
and arbitration 'has given' up its attempt
at reconciling the two factions. Com
missioners Robertson and Pnrcell have,
apparently, abandoned any hope of
effecting a compromise.
Rumors were abroad throughout the
day that the elevated road men would
go out in' sympathy with the surface
men. It is stated by elevated leaders
that it was not unlikely that a general
strike would be ordered Monday. Grand
Master Sovereign is expected in Brook'
lyn tomorrow, and will attempt to do
what the board of arbitration baa failed
to do conciliate the presidents of the
roads. There was a conference of police
captains tonight, and it was decided to
rigidly enforce the excise law tomorrow.
Superintendent Campbell, of the police
tonight issued a statement that he had
been notified that the Brooklyn Railroad
Company will put their lines in opera
tion tomorrow. The superintendent of
police, in conjunction with the militia
will make special preparation for the
opening of this line. Notice is given
that a further force of the militia will
not be ordered, the impression having
obtained tonight that the strikers had
made arrangements to meet the railroad
officials on their own ground.
The militia at the Jamaica car stables
were forced to charge a big mob three
times since 6 o'clock this morning. The
first time the strikers gathered around
the stables in the streets and jeered the
soldiers. Colonel Eddy, who was in
charge, drew his men up in line and
gave an order to charge. The mob was
driven back to the houses on the oppo
site side of the street, and fell pell-mell
through the doorways and down cellars
and, in fact, wherever they could find a
place of escape. One person, Charles
' Wilson, was injured by being stabbed in
the back with a bayonet. He was taken
to a hospital established by Assistant
Surgeon Belcher in one of the empty
carhouses, where his wound was dressed
At 7 :10 a. m., and again at 1 :15 p. m.
the militia charged the mob, which had
become again threatening. The strikers
and their friends who had begun to
gather in front of the carhouses, jeered
the soldiers. There were several per
sonal encounters between the guards
and the mob, which began to close
around the carhouses. Colonel Eddy
called on his reserves, formed them into
line, stretched them along the street for
a distance of 250 feet, and then gave the
order to advance. Some of the strikers
and their sympathizers took issue with
the militia and stopped to argue the
point. The temper of the crowd neces
sitated a charge. Again the soldiers ad
vanced on the mob and drove it from the
street at the point of the bayonet. A
second man was wounded. ' His name is
Thomas Nolan, a compositor. He fell
and was struck on the knee with a bay
onet. He was removed to his home.
Late tonight, before the talk of a con
ference, the strikers rioted for three-
quarters of an hour in the vicinity of the
car stables on Jamaica avenue, in the
twenty-sixth ward they hurled bricks
and stones in every direction. The mil
itary scattered the crowd time and again.
Several men and women were wounded.
Eugene Williams was stabbed in the
back by a bayonet. Phillip Tighe was
also stabbed by a bayonet. A women,
whose name could not be learned, while
attempting to pass through tLe line, re
ceived a similar wound by a guardsman,
whose bayonet was pointed in the direc
tion of the fleeing crowd. The militia
drove the rioters, down Alabama and
Georgia avenues several times, chasing
them for four blocks. Several ambu
lances were sent to the scene, and af one
time the situation was thought serious.
Pain has no show with Dr. Miles' Pain Pills,
The Sale Con (armed.
Corvallis, Or., Jan. The recent Ore
gon Pacific sale was confirmed today.
December 22d the road was sold to Bon
ner & Hammond for $100,000. Jaunary
4th the court convened in special session,
at which time objections to the confirm
ation were presented and final action in
the matter postponed, at the instance of
Vallis Nash, representing an English
syndicate which proposed to deposit
$50,000 . as an earnest that at least $200,
0(10 would be offered at a resale. Mr.
Nash expected to be in a position to
make the necessary deposit today, but
failed to do so for the reason, as he
claimed, that the mails had been de
layed by storms on the Atlantic.
Mr. Nash and Mr. Watson today filed
objections to the confirmation, alleging,
principally inadequacy of price. Judge
Burnett, for the purchasers, objected to
the filing of objections at this time for'
the reason that the time for so doing
had elapsed.. The court allowed the ob
jections to be filed, and then read three
telegrams iron) New York parties
asking that the confirmation.be delayed
or that a new sale be ordered. He fur
ther said that Mr. Clark, the present re
ceiver, had informed him that the road
would no longer pay running expenses
and had run behind during December,
While there might be something in the
objections just filed, he did not think it
would be advisable, to postpone the or
der of confirmation or order a resale,
and would therefore order the sale to
Bonner & Hammond confirmed.
' This announcement brought forth
round of applause from the spectators
Attorneys Nash and Watson filed notice
of appeal. An order was made, how
ever, instructing the sheriff to turn over
the property to the purchasers, they to
assume all liabilities incurred since De
cember 22d, the date of purchase. -
The1 Oregon Pacific went into the
hands of the court October 26, 1890
During this time Colonel T. Egenton
Hogg, E. W. Hadley and Charles Clark
have presided over the destinies of the
property . with varying euccesB. Eight
different times it has been offered for
sale by the sheriff and only three bids
made. At no sale was there any com
petition in the bidding. Colonel Hogg
bid $1,000,000, and failing to complete
the purchase, forfeited $25,000. The
Blair-Wharton faction bid $200,000 and
the sale was set aside. Lastly Bonner &
Hammond took the road for $100,000,
The proceeds of the sale will be applied
first, to the court expenses, which are
estimated at $15,000 ; next to the pay
ment of delinquent taxes, aggregating
in the neighborhood of $60,000. There
are about $10,000 in receiver's certifi
cates, issued under the Hadley adminis
tration, for insurance, which were given
priority of payment. This last item
may be contested, but local attorneys
are of the opinion that it will be impos
sible to defeat their priority. This will
leave about $15,000 to discharge $1,250,-
000 of obligations contracted while the
road was in the court's hands. All par
ties in interest will probably contest for
priority of payments.
Edwin Stone has a power of attorney
from Bonner & Hammond, and is now
in charge of the property, although the
necessary documents have not been
signed. To an Oregonian representative
Mr. Stone said tonight :
Charles Clark, l&te receiver, will be
retained as superintendent for the pres
ent at least, and no change will be made
in the personnel of present employes,
The road will be operated as heretofore,
until the arrival of Mr. Hammond, who
is now in New York, and is expected, to
reach Corvallis within the next two
weeks." .

pany D., of this city, until Tuesday,
The colonel has been telegraphed to for
particulars, but none have come, and
the officers of the militia here do
not know what the trouble is. 6ne
theory is that the troops will be wanted
at Mount Sterling during the sitting of
the circuit court, which begins there to'
day. It is said that detectives have
fastened the lynching of Tom Blair on
15 men, and that they will be indicted
by the grand jury. It is said that
Mount Sterling officials have received
threatening letters declaring that the
town will be burned unless Blair's mur
derers are punished. Blair was taken
from the Morgan county jail January 1
and hanged by a mob. He was charged
with the killing of Captain J. L. Bomar
in Mount Sterling, but was acquitted on
the trial.

meeting of the bouse appropriations
committee was held today in which Sec
retary Carlisle took part at the request
of Chairman Sayres. The conference
was over the adoption of a policy by
which the secretary hopes to pnt into
circulation an increased volume of silver
certificates of small denominations in
place of treasury notes. The committee
decided to strike from the sundry civil
bill the stipulation that for several years
has been added to the item-, providing
for printing treasury notes to replace
those received at the treasury.
The Chicago building bill passed the
house by a vote of 197 to 51.
In the senate today Lodge offered a
resolution declaring the United States
should keep a 'warship at the Sandwich
islands, and that measures should be
taken for the construction of a cable
from San Francisco to Honolulu and for
annexation of the Sandwich islands to

to its present consideration, and the res
olution went over. At 2 o'clock the
Nicaragua canal bill came up, but was

tive to the income-tax questions.
