A Tenement lioloeanst.
. Chicago. Sept. 19.- One of the most
disastrous fires that has visited this city
for some time, started after 1 o'clock
this morning in a four-story tenement on
Sedgwick street, north side. Although
the blaze lasted bat fifty-five minutes,
the loss of lite made the triflliug damage
to the property stand out as losignificent
in compari-on The bn&en,ent of the
building and lower floor were need as a
bakery by William Jafit?. In the rear
of his oven room the fire started In the
upper stories of the building there were
Cve families, and the scenes following
the discoveay ot the nre were terrible to
behold. Within an incredible short time
men, women and ch !dren in nightclothe
were hurrying through the b'irning build
mg. All egress was cut oil in tne rear.
the fire having gained such headway up
the stairway. Tnere was no hre escape.
and the single night of stairs in the
front of the building afforded littlo op
portunity for the peoole to save them
elves On the fiftt floor livtd William
Burrin, who was awakened by the smoke
and heat. The partitions of his room
were already charred in places and his
escape was almost a miracle. He" end
his family got safely out, though be was
slightly burned about the face.
It as on the second floor the fire did
toe worst work, lhe rooms were occu
pied by Otto Hemming and wife, John
Scbalk, his wife, two sons and two
daughters Officer O'Neil broke into the
rooms of the Schalk family, and in a
short time Captain O'Connel and Fire
man For came to his assistance. O'Con
neii nelpeu the tlemmings to escape.
The Schalk rooms soon filled with smoke.
and water stood on the floor to a depth
of eighteen inches. When O Neil
entered he heard a weak cry for help,
and as be pushed bis way into the main
room oc stumblea over a body it was
that of Cynthia Schalk. When he
nicked her up the girl swooned, and was
carried down the ladder. Officer O'Neil
again pushed forward, and stumbled
over another obstruction. It was a pile
of human corpses. In a heap were Mr.
Schalk, his wife, bis two. sons and one
daughter. Tney were all dead
Whether they were suffocated, or drowned
will probably always remain a mystery
One or fwo other people were slightly
injured.
Another Story of the Capture.
Marshfield, Or., Sept. 18. Agent
Lemanjust arrived from Gardiner gives
the following additional news regarding
the flight and capture of Albertson ' And
Chandler. It seems that the fugitives
had been in the neighborhood of Flor
ence, a small town on the coast, twenty
miles north of Garainer, and forty miles
north of this city. They bad engaged a
room at the hotel at Florence, where they
stopped several davs, and on their de
parture paid the proprietor to retain their
room. Iney never returned, but secured
supplies and started in a small boat to
some rendezvous on the Siuelaw, where
it is supposed they were supplied with
provisions at night by a party well
known to the authorities, and who had
gained the confidence of the fugitives,
and wns presumably under pay from
thera. This pirty was nupectcd by
Uni'ed Sta. s Deputy Marshal Chns.
Lxmpklns, of Tacoma, who threatened
mm with tne law unless he guvs all fhe
iniorinatioii in his possession regarding
the robbers, whereupon he betrave j the
robbers by telling them tbey were inse
cure in their present location and advised
them to 6 iid another h'ding place on tiie
east side of the Umcqua liver. He told
them that be would leave a boat at a
certain point on the , west side of the
Umpqua for their use. and at the same
time he bad arranged with the offi
cers to meet them on the beach on the
opposite side as they crossed over and
were tnaking a landing when captured.
as stated in previous dispatches.

Cann, who commanded tbe United States
squadron in Chilian waters during the
late war, comes to the defense of Minister
Egan, in tbe statement published in the
Post this morning. He says "'Egan is
fiercely assailed by the newspapers of the
victorious party, although it was through

actions have been those of a clean-handed
diplomat and an honorable man.

raddi, aged 19, of New York, was ar
raigned to day before Ju3ice Powers at
this place under peculiar circumstances
He was brought from Bowery bay station-
bouse, bv Sergeant Corrigan, where be
had been locked up all night. Conraddi
entered the station last evening, and,
depositing a bundle of clothing on the

Pan-American News.
San Diego, Sept. 19. To-day was the
anniversary of the independence of Chili,
and it was apropnately celebrated on the
ItcUa. The vessel was profusely decorated
by Uaptain JUannzen. A salute was
fired from the now notorious brass cannon,
and a general holiday was observed by
all the crew. Manozen refuses to be in
terviewed upon the prospects of a speedy
termination of tbe Itata litigation
Captain Tejeda makes frequent trips be
tween Los Angeles and this city, trying
tn bring affairs to a speedy termination
Every delav causes bim much chagrin
Since tbe junta has bad control of affairs
in Chin, the detained captains have had
better communication with their homes
and families. Captain Mannzen still
thinks he cannot possibly get to Val
paraiso before January next, even if the
I lata should be releast d at once, for she
is budly in need ot 'repairs, which will
csjese the vessel to go to San Francisco,
when the plans are to take on a cargo of
merchandise to Chili, after wbicb the
vessel is likely to be returned to tbe
South American Transportation Com-
panv, from which she wag seized several
months ago. Mannzen is anxious to see
Balmaceda punished lor his cruelty.
He was yery much excited when news
came that tte ex dictator was aboard
the cruiser San Francisco, bound for
California. Had tbe tryant landed bere
he would likely have met with a spirited
reception at the bands of tbe detailed
congressionalists.
Reply to Pauneefote
Washington, Sept. 19. A government
official, who is familiar with tbe Behring
sea ques'ion, in speaking this afternoon
of tbe complaint made by Sir Julian
Pauneefote, that this government had
violated tbe modus vivendi in regard to
tbe killing of seals, said that tbe ques'ion
was on the construction of the treaty of
June 15, 1891, which allowed tbe North
American Commercial Company to t&ke
7500 seals. The treaty went into effect
June 15 to expire May 2, 1892, and tbe
question is whether the company was to
be allowed to take 7500 seals after June
15, or whether tbe treaty allowed it to
capture .this number of seals during the
entire season, wbich began before tbe
treaty was signed Tbe official said no
trouble need be anticipated in settling
tbe difficulty..

It is a fact that should be continually
kept before the American peopte that tbe
crops of this country will ithis year be
worth at least one billion dollars more than

clerk was killed outright, and another mail
clerk fatally injured, and who was dying
when the train left Tbe passenger says
the baggage car was a complete wreck, and
burned np. It is believed the accident was
caused by the air-brakes not working prop
erly. Union Scout' It is estimated that the
damage to the crops of Union county this
season by rust, will be about half a million
dollars. This is the first time in the his
tory of the connty that our farmers have
been bothered with rust, and while it will
go pretty bard with some, it should not dis
courage them for the future. It may never
occur again. Crops that a few weeks ago
promised more than an average yield will
not turn out more than one-half what was
expected. In some sections rust did not
damage mncb; bat, taken an together, tnere
will not be much more than half a crop of
marketable grain in Union coanty.

Dallas Observer: Last Fridav a fire was
discovered in the stubble field of Mr. K.
Campbell, near Perrydale, supposed to
have been started by sparks from an engine

of the fire, and it burned over a distance of
one and a half miles, taking fences, grain
piles and all in its bourse. It burned into
a pile of sacked grain on the farm of Mr.
Campbell and out of 125 sacks enough good
grain wa saved to rehli U0 sacks. Mr.

pump of the Union Pacifio on the island bat

of any emergency the engineer at this pump
nas always oeen willing aud ready to aid
our citizens and fire department in helping
to save property. JNo pnblio acknowledge
ment of tbis service has vet been made.
and we believe our council and citizens
hould publicly express their thanks to the
Union Pacifio and the engineer for theie
services rendered. It is advisable that tbe
mains from tbis pump be extended one
block further east, and by this means a
greater protection would be afforded.

Ochoco Review: There being such an im
tnense amount of hsy and grain in this
coanty, this would be a good season to feed
beef for the sprmit market, if there were
some facilities of transportation by whioh
meat could be marketed in March and Anril.
Now beef is worth only 2J cents a pound
and is a dull sale. Next spring it will be
worth fiom 4 to 6 cents and will be in de
mand. If there were a railroad running
through the country, at toast 200 bead of
beef would be fed in the county this winter
and shipped oat next spring when prices
are up. Thus ranchers would find a market
for their produce and stock raisers would
derive a nice profit on their beef, but as it
is neither can derive much profit. If there
is any one thing we need worse than an
other it is a railroad.
