THE PARIS HOLOCAUST
More Bodies Taken From
Ruins of the Palace.

Ghastly 8eBM.
New York, May 10. A dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says: The scene
on enterii Porte Eight, of the Palaise
de l'lndustrie last night, when the
bodies of the victims of the Rue Jean
Goujon were taken there, was of a fear
ful description. There had been placed
the charred corpses of what had been a
few hours before beautiful women of
the very best families of Paris. The
bodies were laid out on roughly im
provised platforms of boards taken from
anywhere about the place. They were
charred beyond recognition. Almost
all the bodies were burned about the
head and feet, while the middle of the
body remained comparatively intact.
Ambulances kept ooming up in a
stream, bringing more and more of the
unfortunate viotims, the orowd outside
giving way in awe-stricken silence.
The Rue Jean Qoujon was almost im
Of the bazaar building in which only
a few hours before everything had been
fair and beautiful, there remained only
few oharred poles. " Inside the
wrecked building there was nothing but
pieces of . rags, wood and human re
mains. " The firemen were digging
among the 'debris in search of the
bodies. There were not enough ambu
lances, and the bodies had to be placed
in wraps Then came soldiers, police
and firemen to carry away the dead, and
they all worked in silence and with a
will. The soldiers carried sheets in
which to wrap and transport bodies.
There were women nurses from l'Hos
pital Beaujon, also with sheets, wait
ing to cover up the dead before they
were taken away in the ambulances.
Near the western wall, which bound
ed what had been the bazaar, bodies
were literally found piled in heaps and
their position seemed to indicate that a
terror-stricken rush had taken place, or
an instinctive huddling together in the
face of death. There were pieces of un
derskirts all over the ruins and frag
ments of woolen garments and corset
covers. Tiny little slippers were
everywhere to be seen, crisp and
charred by the heat. On one side was
a pile of valuable jewels, eto. , guarded
by policemen. There were bracelets
and rings, completely free from flesh,
showing how terrible had been the
flames in their fury.
I spke to two women who were
standing near the ruins. The elder
one was Mme. Rochezautier, and the
younger was a servant-'
"We were attracted by the cries of
the ladies," said Mme. Rochezautier.
"Oh! such cries I We called to the
men in the Hotel de Palais, whioh
fronts on 17 Cora de la Reine. It was
the work of a moment to tear down the
iron bars of the windows and to throw
out a chair. We hauled the poor
women in there. They were so fright
ened that -they did not stay here long.
They were so terror-stricken that many
could not cry. But many were lost
and I saw several rush out from the
flames and fall dead. We saved at
least 160."
Mile, le Comte, of 22 Rue Jean Gou
jon, said:
"The fire broke out at 4;30 o'clock.
It was terribly sudden. The heat was
worse than the smoke. You could not
go into the street for fear of the heat.
The bazaar burned up just as if the
wood had been soaked in kerosene. I
should think there were 3,500 people
there, because, you know, the nuncio
was there during the afternoon and that
made an extra attraction. He had
hardly left when the flames burst out.
They seemed to spring up all over.
"So fierce was the beat that all win
dows and shop fronts opposite were
cracked on - burst open. Birds in the
windows dropped dead from their per
ches as if struck by lightning, and
many of the neighbors were so para
lyzed by fear that they did not know
what to do. The fire lasted only twen
ty minutes, but such a twenty minutes
I shall, never forget!;; Women ran
shrieking into the street and fell dead
in the roadway overcome by the heat,
burning from head to foot."
Americans Were Fortunate.
New York, May 10. -A Journal dis
patch from Paris says: There were
..very few American present in the char
ity bazaar at the time of the fire, and
these seem to have been especially fa
vored by fortune. Mrs. William Astor
left the bazaar a quarter of an hour be
fore the conflagration. Miss Fane, sis-:,
ter of Frederick Fane, an American- re
siding in the Rue Prony, who is almost
totally deaf, was in the building when
the fire broke out. Her escape was
largely due to her infirmity...,. She saw
the fire and made her Way to the exit,
being among the first to reach it.
Under forced draught the new British
first-class battleship Jupiter made an
average of 18.4 knots in her four-hour

A right With Tramp. .
Marshueld, Wis., May 10. Chief of
Police Gerwin and Fred Myers a brew
ery employe, were fatally injured today
in an encounter with tramps. During
the day six tramps hung around the
brewery drinking. When Chief Gerwin
tried to disperse them by persuasion,
four of them showed fight, and one of
them slashed the officer with a knife,
cutting fearful gash in . the: left side
of the abdomen and a smaller one in
the hand. . While interfering, Meyers'
bowels were literally ripped out.
- Three of the men were captured, and
mob surrounded the jail. Mayor
Williams averted trouble by sending
the prisoners to Grand Rapids on a spe

CRIME OF A FARM HAND.
Shoots Hit Format Kmployor east Thraa
Other Persona.
Milwaukee, May 10. Alexander Har
ris, a farmer, living five miles south of
Waukesha, on the the Mukwonago
road, and his wife, were murdered this
morning when at breakfast. A hired
man was wounded, but escaped. A
hired girl was also wounded, and it
likely to die.
The crime was committed by William
Pouch, a farmhand. Pouch worked for
Harris about two years ago. Last night
at his request he was given lodging over
night.
About 5 o'clock this morning Harris
and a hired man went to the yard to
milk the cows. Mrs. Harris and the
girl were preparing breakfast Pouoh
left his room quietly, and, going to the
yard, bade the men there good morn
ing. Harris and the hired man were
sitting on stools near , each other.
Pouch drew his revolver and fired at
the farmer, killing him. He then shot
the hired man, inflicting probably a
fatal wound.
Pouch then walked leisurely to the
kitohen. . He told Mrs. Harris her hus
band would not be in for a few minutes
and he would eat his breakfast at once.
The woman waited upon the murderer,
Who seemed to relish his meal.'
After breakfast Pouoh started to walk
toward the door. Before Mrs. Harris
realized what was about to happpen be
wheeled around and shot her in the
breast He then fired at the hired
girl. The farmer's wife died soon af.
tefwards. The hired girl has a ohance
for recovery. Pouch then rode away on
a bicycle.
A posse of farmers is in hot pursuit
The farmers are greatly exoited and
enraged, and should they get hold of
the murderer he will undoubtedly be
lynched.
The supposition of the authorities is
that Pouch is either insane or commit
ted the murderers in order to hide the
evidence of another crime. The man
ner in which the murders were com
mitted shows plainly that Pouch delib
erately arranged his plans. Harris was
quite well to do. Pouch worked for
him in the summer of 1895, but nothing
occurred as far as known to cause
enmity between them. Pouch is 20
years of age. The name of the hired
man who was shot is Nelson MoHolt.
The girl is Helen Vesback.
Latest reports from Mukwonago state
Mrs. Harris was not instantly killed
as at first stated, and may recover.
There is little hope for Nelson McHolt,
the hired man, and Helen Vesback,
the girl.
A HEROIC BOY ENGINEER.
He Saved Many Lives at the RUk of
Hli Own.
Houghton, Mich., May 10. With a
box containing 800 pounds of dynamite
on fire, ten feet away from him, John
Thomas, a boy who runs a compressed
air hoisting engine in the Tamaraok
mine, stuck to his post and saved the
lives of the men at work in 'the mine
by his bravery.
Ten seconds after Thomas had hoisted
the men to the level the dynamite ex
ploded, smashing the engine to pieces
and doing other damage, but the men
and the boy to whom they owe their
lives were safe.
The miners working in the 23d level
had put seven casts of dynamite in a
box for future use. At noon a miner
accompanied by Thomas went to his
post, gave the alarm to the miners in
the level below and ran his engine un
til he had hoisted them out. He then
fled. The alarm of fire caused great ex
citement, but no miners were injured
in the rush to reach daylight from a
depth of 8,000 to 4,000 feet
For Peace In Cuba,
New York, May 10. A special to
the Journal from Havana says: Your
correspondent is able upon high author
ity to confirm the ' Journal's recent
Washington reports as to negotiations
pending there between Secretary of
State Sherman, Dupuy de Lome and
Estrada Palma, looking to a peaceful
solution by purchase or otherwise of
the Cuban question. . The story is the
topio of conversation in all the clubs.
El Diaiio de la Marina, the reformist,
oragn here, in a leader, sounds an omi
nous note of warning by initmating that
the so-called reforms that Premier Can
ovas has offered to the island will be
little more than a farce, should Cuba
be left to pay the cost of the war. Spain
must pay it, El Diario declares, other
wise she cannot hope to keep the colony
and continue to monopolize its trade.

Ceung Otrl't Frightful Kiaerleave la a
" Thunder Storm.
Chewelah, Wash., May 10. An ex
traordinary electrical storm occurred
yesterday, in which a number of peo
ple were more or less injured. The
most unfortunate victims were Miss
Lutie McCormack and Miss Laura
Boiler, aged 16 and 14 respectively.
They were returning from school, and
took refuge under a large pine tree. A
bolt of lightning struck the tree, and
the girls were knocked senseless. Soon
after, a neighbor saw Miss Boiler aim
lessly wandering near his house, and
be and others instituted a search.
They went to the tree and found the
apparently lifeless body of Miss Mo
Cormack. She was lying on her back,
twelve feet from the tree, having been
thrown that distance by the force of
the thunderbolt. The lightning struck
her first on (he back of the head, and a
strip of hair an inch wide was burned
clear to the skin from the last cervical
to the third dorsal vertebra. At the
latter spot there was burned black a
place as big as a man's hand. Between
the knee and the sole of the foot, on
each leg, a strip an inch and a half
wide was burned. Her hat was liter
ally torn to pieces, and was burning
when she was found. Her shoes were
torn to shreds, and one was lying about
six feet from her body, and the other
sixteeen feet away. Notwithstanding
all these injuries, she was finally
brought back to consciousness. She is
in danger, however, because of inflam
mation of the nerves.
Three head of cattle a half-mile away
were instantly killed. W. O. Smith, a
half-mile west, was partially stunned
and knocked down, and Ellsworth Cos

Accident or Suicide.
Rossland, B. C, May 10. J. B.
Fisher, of Deer Lodge, Mont., who un
it! the lust election was county re
sorder, died here shortly before 8 this
evening from a shot in the right tem
ple. Whether it was a case of suicide
or accident there were many opinions.
The object of the man's journey here
may help to clear this up.
The Red Mountain train was nearing
Rossland, when, as usual, the car doors
were locked, while the customs in
spector made his rounds. Fisher opened
his valise and took out his revolver, it
may be presumed to avoid paying duty.'
The gun discharged and he was shot in
the very place that would be selected
for such an act and the Bkin about the
wound is burned from the close contact
with the weapon. The deceased wau
a Mason and a Knights of Pythias, and
was a handsome, stalwart man of
about 80. In his valise were pictures
of his wife and two children, and a
statement of his accounts as recorder.
Farewell Banquet. -
London, May 10. The farewell ban
quet given this evening by the Amer
ican society in London to Mr. Bayard,
former ambassador of the United States,
was attended by 270 guests. The com
pany included Ambassador Hay, Mrs.
Hay and all the members of the em
bassy, and the lord bishop of London.
Mr. Bayard had a cordial reception.
He brought with him the log of the
Mayflower, which he deposited in its
glass case in the reception-room, where
it instantly became the center of attrac
tion. During the presentation of the
loving cup, which is in the form of a
pumpkin, surmounted by a bust of Mr.
Bayard, Mr. and Mrs. Bayard were
visibly affected. Mr. Bayard, on rising
to respond to Mr. Crane's sentiments,
was greeted with a storm of applause.
He spoke for an hour slowly and impres
sively. The Cascade Reserve
Washington, May 10. Commission
er Hermann has recommended to the
attorney-general the suspension for the
present of legal proceedings growing out
of eheep pasturing within the Cascade
range forest reserve. The attorney -general
is requested to instruct the United
States attorney for Oregon to stay all
proceedings until further orders, in
view of the legislation pending in con
gress and the probable early action by
the department on the question.
The recommendation is due to a rep

pendent for years.

From tht Industrial Newt, Jackson, Mich.
The Industrial News, ever on tin
alert to bring its readers all items of in
terest, learned of the entire oure of one
of Jackson county's prominent oitizens,
Mr. Lorenzo Neeley, of Liberty town
ship, who had suffered with the twangs
and pangs of rheumatism for over
thirty years.
In order to give authentic facts, an
Industrial News representative inter
viewed Mr. Neeley and elicited the
following facts:
Mr. Lorenzo Neeley ia 66 years of
age, and actively engaged in farming.
When 17 years old by an unfortunate
accident he hurt his shoulder, and a
few years after that he commenced to
have rheumatic pains in his shoulders.
This would not always trouble him, but
on taking a slight cold or the least
strain, or sometimes without any ap
parent cause the trouble would start
again and he would suffer the most ex
cruciating pains.
.For over thirty years he has thus
suffered, and for the last decade has
suffered continually so that he was
unable to do any work. To this the
frequent occurrences of dizzy spells was
lately added, making him almost a
helpless invalid.
He tried the best physicians but with
out getting any help, and has tried sev
eral speoiflc rheumatic cures, but all
without any appreciable relief. About
one year and six months ago he read in
the Jackson Industrial News of a oase
somewhat similar to his which was
cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People, and he conoluded
to try this remedy.
After the first box he felt somewhat
better, and after taking three boxes the
pains entirely disappeared and the dizzi
ness left him, and lie has now for over
a year been entirely free from all his
former trouble ad enjoys better health
than he has had since his boyhood.
Mr. Neeley is loud in his praises of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple, and will gladly corroborate the
above statements. His postoffice ad
dress is Lorenzo Neeley, Horton, Jack
son county, Michigan. -
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People contain, in a condensed form, all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are also a
specifio for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities and
all forms of weakness. They build up
the blood, and restore the glow of health
to pale and sallow cheeks. In men
they effect a radical cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overwork or
excesses of whatever nature. Pink
Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose
bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for
$2.60, and may be had of all druggists,
or direot by mail from Dr. Williams'
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts gentle efforts pleasantefforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with mill ions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is moat krgely
Jsed and gives most general satisfaction.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins a Company's Review
of Trade.
The wheat market was very dull dur
ing the past week. On Saturday a
speculative ' demand sprung upon a
"tip" that the coming government re
port on growing winter wheat would
show a decline in condition of about 6
points and have a tendency to enhance
TValues.
The slow demand from abroad fur
Our wheat is especially discouraging, as
the inquiry is below anything figured
early in the season, on this side of the
Atlantic or on the othor other. When
the figures of total production were first
compiled the only question that agi
tated speculators was the problem of
how the world was going to get along
with so light supply, without prices
advancing to a point that would turn
enough consumption to substiutcs for
wheat, to make the less quantity of it
do for the whole crop year. Most peo
ple thought then that nothing short of
90o to 1 a bushel would do it. There
is where the mistake seems to lie.
About 75o in the primary marketn
turned away enough wheat bread eaters
to subHtitues to lengthen sufficiently
the supply, for all practical purposes.
Even at the moderate prices prevailing
last week, this country's foreign ship
ments.'" were away under 8,000,000
bushels. The low price of corn at 25o,
of rye at 33o, barley at 25o, and outs at
18c are particularly attractive to the
pracituial economist who supplies the
family table, in these times, when so
many are idle or in a state bordering
upon idleness. The official wheat
yield in this country was something of
an error, but the usual commercial reck
oning was not much astray. The fault
of calculation seems to be in tho price
that would turn so many consumers to
the oheaper cereals.

After Rufterihg torturea from rheumatism, lame back and weak kidneys, I was
induced to try your belt, and I would not give it up now for 150 if I could not get
another. My troubles hud. annoyed me tor years,, and my back was to weak I
could not lift twenty-hve pounds. The belt knocked the pain out in six weeks and
the rheumatiam in three, and L have not felt a retun of either since then. I
laughed at the idea when a friend of mine told me your belt would cure me, but I
am changed now, and am talking for myself. E. I. Burks, S. F., Cal., April 27.
