Chicago, May 2 4.—Flva workmen were killed and aeveral others ser iously Injured this afternoon when an ammonia pipe exploded in tbe beet-killing department of Armour A Co.a plant at tbe stockyards. The building was full of workmen at the time, and the deadly fumes, escaping from under high pressure, pene trated through every department of tbe building In such a short time that 20 of the men were overcome before they could make their escape to tbe fresh air. All but five of these men were dragged from the place by their companions In auch a serious condition that It was necessary to take them to a nearby hospital. An Ineffectual effort to search tor dead In the Interior of the building was made by employes wearing safe ty masks, but they were driven back by the fume«, and It was not until alx hours after tbe explosion that the first body, that of an unidentified man, burned beyond recognition, waa taken from the fourth floor. A few minutes later four other bodies were found, all of them having been burned In a horrible manner. M rs . mckinley near death . May Live a Day or Two., but Cannot Recover. Canton.

ROWLANDS« NONEY TRACED DOVN THE UNE Hugs Sums Required for Sall—Many Mere Indictments In Reserve to Avoid Defects. San Francisco, May 25.—"Tba people of San Francisco want acts, not words. 1 will only say that we will make good wherever we accuse" waa the brief comment of William J. Burns last night, and It was tbe only statement made for publication by the prosecution after It bad ac complished what halt ot the cltlxen- sblp of San Fraaclaeo declared to be Impossible—tho Indictment ot one of the moat powerful magnates known to Wall street In tba person of Patrick Calhoun. The prosecution has traced the *200,000 with which tbe United Railroads secured Its franchise from Wall street to the Hau Francisco Mint Immediately after tbe big Ure In April, 190*, when tbe Mint waa used for banking purposes. There tbe money remained tor a tew days, when It was drawn out piecemeal In lots of *60,000, converted Into cur rency and paid over to Kuef and by him passed on to tbe Mayor and tba Hupervlsors. Tbe evidence la strengthened by bits of conversation, records of conferences at tbe office of Tlrey L. Ford, attorney for tbe United Hallroada. Tbe fact that the Mayor received *50,000 for signing tbe ordinance granting tbe overbead- trolley permit was learned through tbe testimony of Kuef. Fourteen Indictments were re turned charging Calboun, Mullaiiy, Ford, Abbott, 8chmltx and Kuef jointly with tbe bribery of tbe Sup ervisors. Seventeen Supervisors were bribed, ao It may therefore be seen that three of tbe Indictments were held In reserve. This Is the Heney method. The 14 Indictments will act as a sort of advance guard to draw the fire of the defense. If tbe defense succeeds tn shooting any holes In them, the three In re serve will be altered to make them Impregnable, taking advantage of tbe facta brought out. Judge Coffey announced, after running hla eye over tbe Indictments that he weuld fix ball In tbe sum ot *10,000 on each of tbe 8* counts. He gave tbe accused until 11 o'clock today to furnish bonds and remarked that he would accept In lieu thereof cash ball of *5000 on each count. Assurance waa given that pending the arrangement ot ball no arrests will be made by the prosecution, so the nine men accused of the giving or taking ot bribes are at liberty on their own recognisance until 11 o'clock today. The statement was made unoffi cially that all but *140,000 of the entire amount of tbe bonds of *8*0,- 000 will be forthcoming at the ap pointed hour today. Schmits, In addition to *60.000 se curity he has already given to se cure his liberty pending the trlsl of the five counts of extortion brought against him snd Ruef jointly, will have to put up *1*0.000 In bonds. Ruef will have to put up *140.000. but. Inasmuch ss be now Is and for more than two months has been s prisoner without any Immediate hope of release, it Is understood that he will make no attempt to give ball. It Is said, Indeed, that under the circumstances snd In view of the fact that he turned state’s evidence, he prefers to remain the prisoner of Elisor Blggy President Glass, of the Telephone Company, already has given bonds In the sum of *90.000. He will have to put up *20,000 more to retain hla liberty. Halsey has put up *110.000 In bonds, covering the 11 Indictments previously found against him. He will have to put up *10,000 addition today. When Foreman Oliver, of the grand jury, filed the 1* Indictments In court, he stated that these were "only a partial report from the grand Jury." This Is taken to mean that more Indictments are to follow. Strikers Are Active. San Francisco, May 24.—In conse Buy Army Mules by the Pound. quence of Increased violence attend Washington.

"I wish I hod told him what that odious woman said." she observed to Andrey, when they were aloae In tbe drawing room; "be ought to know of her Insolence.'' “It would only vex him. and I don't really mind,“ Audrey answered, though Wia bad been much hurt for the moment, "booldee. It le all ao vulgar end diaarreo- able. Why should we trouble about It?" On tbe last day of October Willie Fullerton ceme down to Cratglands. grearly to Audrey's delight. "Now. Joan, I want you to be very nine to him ; ho la a dear boy," she de clared. "Tbe dear boy being a good five years older than yoer ladyship," laughed Joan ; but eho found It a very easy teak to be nice to Willie Fullerton. Ills open admiration for Audrey won her heart, and ebe felt that before long this pleasant young Englishman and her eelf would be good friends. To begin with, they both cordially detested Mr* Fairfax and her daughter, and that waa a very good foundation to commence upon. Tbe week following Mr. Fullerton's arrival waa, to Jean Th wait's thinking, the pleaaanteet that bad come since aha had left Broadborough. To Audrey, it waa quietly happy : tbe Dinglewood folk gave her a little breath ing apace: Hheila and Lady Deleewater having gone up to town to arrange about the masked ball, and ebe had her Jack nearly all to herself, foe Jean and Willie Fullerton fraternised warmly, and were much together. Audrey's letters to her mother that week unconsciously betrayed the feeling nf her heart. Rhe wrote free ly. Joyously, not In the strained fashion that had seemed to hang about her of late, end Constance Fraser, awey alone, bearing her great sufferings with cour age sod patience, rejoiced aa she read. Alaa! How little did she think those letters were tbe last happy ones Audrey would write for many a long, weary day. Jack. too. tired out with perpetual ex citement and worry, basked In tho sun shine of hie girl-wife's lore, and reveled la tbe gladness her presence gave him. Two da ye before the masked ball Sheila and lady Daleewater returned to Dingle wood. and drove over to Craiglando to dlscuao all the arrangements with the Gtendurvood* n>ey found tho four young people out in the grounds playing lawn tennis. “I bare come to ask lady John what ebe la going to srear at tho bell. Ob. I know it la a great secret, but I will be tray It to no on*" Sheila said to Jack, aa they walked away, and then she tried to catch hie eye e\she gave a very palpa ble sigh. Audrey good naturvdly offered to show her gown and domino to both Sheila and Lady Daleewater. Jean Tbwait had been carefully excluded from tbe Invitation* "Lovely I Beautiful! Exquisite!" cried Sbeila. aa Murray unfolded tbe sheeny satins and held them forth for Inspection. "And thia la your domino. Lady John?” “Black and silver. It waa Jack's Ide* Isn't It pretty? Look at tho design over the shoulder*" “1 wish you would pat It on; I should like to see it so much," Sheila next ob served. Lady Daleewater had not vouchsafed to come ap and eee the finery, ebe was in far too bad a temper. “An artist from London 1a coming down to sketch ns all. Ho arrives to day. I think be had better begin at one* I wish yon would allow him to sketch your* Lady John." “I ehall be delighted," Audrey said, cordially. “Shall be come here or must I go to him?” Sheila’s cheeks were quite rosy. “Oh. there le no need to trouble yon. Just send Murray over with it. She might drlre back with us if you can spare her." Andrey, only too glad to find Sbeila speaking so pleasantly, agreed at once, and so. when the Dinglewood carriage drove away. Lady John's maid rode In It, carefully guarding the box containing tbe black and silver domino. Audrey meant to hare told Jean about this, but all Ideas went out of her bead aa tbe carriage disappeared, and they rushed to finish their gam* o o o o e e o "I aay, baby, here’s a bore." Jack Qlen- durwood said, as he entered Craiglanda at dinner time on tbe evening of Sheila's ball. “I can't go with you to-night, after all." “Oh. Jack I" Audrey clasped her hands In despair. “I am disappointed. I don't think I shall go. then. What la the mat ter?" “Benson has telegraphed me he must eee me at once on Important business; something gone wrong with tbe election, I suppose. I'll get back as quickly as possible, and come on to you It I can." "Your drees looks so lovely. You would make such an exquisite Black Bmnswicker, Jack." “Well," laughed Jack, kiaaing her. “I will try and get into my fine togs: at toast. >f I cannot managn tbs Black Brvtuwlcker. I will don my gray domino. Yon will bo able to pick me out, won't yon. fairy, even though t am masked?" "And you mar* Audrey added. “Don't forget to look for tbe black and silver. Jack." Dinner was hurriedly eaten, and Jean waa much grieved for Audrey's sake that Lord John could not accompany her. After Jack had driven away, the two girls mounted up to Audrey's pretty bed room. "You must be my maid to-night, Jean." she said, aa they sat before tho fire for a few moment* "Why. where is Murray?" “Oh. she waa very mdo and I waa obliged to send her away," Andre/ an ewered, a shade falling on her face. "There have been a great many com plaints about her downsvatrs." “I hope you told I .ord John, Audrey," she said, "No? My dearest, believe mo. yea ar* wrong—this perpetual attacking of yen. Believe me.

".More than you imagine, Audrey." Audrey was silent for a moment. "Jean." she said, looking up with tears la her eye* "why le It that they—they are so rmol? What have I ever done to Hheila Fraser or Lady Daleewater that they should hate ins so?" “Too have offended lady Dateswatar by yonr beauty and aristocratic beartag: you have mid. an enemy of Hheila Fraser beeaoee you have robbed her of tho man she meant to marry " "Jean !"
