was well stocked with provisions, Win
chesters and ammunition. At 1
o'clock this morning tlio firing com
menced. Suddenly, after twenty-Ilvo
minutes of firing, a sheet. of, flame
burst out, followed by a terrible de
tonation.
Evidently the attacking patty were
using dynamite. East of the engine
house are several tanks of fuel oil,
the attack was concentrated on this
point, and finally succeeded There
was a sheet of flame and sputtering,
as though of blazing powder. The
engine room was In flames, A few
moments later the clang of thoilre
engines was heard coming up the
street. When the hose was being un
reeled, three men leaped fromhround
the coroner of the fence. "Drop that
hose," was the command, rca. three
rifles were levelled on the men'. The
firemen fell back. Meanwhile the
flames grew fiercer and fiercer Men
in the shaft house were finally driven
from their fort, but fought to the last.
Hundreds were ready to assist, but
held at bay by the assassins "and fire
bugs. But presently, iis great jshects
of flame rolled over the build ihga the
firemen rallied and hundreds of cltl
zens. armed with rifles appeared and
guarded tlie fire department and vol
unteers. All attention was dpvoted
to saving houses in the vicinity, but
in spite of every effort at least four
dwellings on East Eighth street were
destroyed. At 3:30 a. m: an attack
was made on the Emmett mine.
There were oyer 100 shots fired but
the attack was repulsed and po lives
lost. .
TROOPS FOB LEADVILLK.
Denver, Sept. 21. Three special
trains were dispatched from Denver
tills forenoon carrying troops and sup
plies to Leadville.
THE NEWPORT CLAM BAKE.
Leadville, Sept. 21. At 1 o'clock
this morning, three heavy explosions
aroused tlie sleepers in tlie eastern
part of the city lor blocks around the
Coronado mine, which is the one that
first resumed operations, and which
was heavily barricaded, and well
stocked with provisions and arms.
The explosions were followed by a
fusllade of ride shots, apparently from
within tlie barricade, and rapid but
Irregular shots from the outside, ap
parently from a widely scattered at
tacking force, who were on hand to
protect tlie retreat of the dynamiters.
The shooting lasted for ten minutes
and all was silent for about five min
utes, when desultory tiring was re
newed, and lias been kept up ever
since.
At this writing, an explosion was
heard soundiug like dynamite.
OLD RIOTORS.
Leadville, Colo., Sept. 21. It is
said the men who fired the Coronado
shaft house, this morning, and who
attacked the Emmett mine are miners
from tlie Coeur d'Alene country, who
were engaged in the riots there four
years ago.
FURTHER DETAILS.
Leadville, Colo., Sept. 21. Five
lives at least were sacrificed in the
fighting and work of destruction at
the Coronado mine and Emmett mine.
Following is a list of dead and injured;
Dead. Bert Meir, James Benson,both
mines, employed in Coronado, killed
by explosion they were identified only
by papers found on their bodies.
Dying, William Okeefe, foreman of
hose company, shot through the
stomach; J. Higglns, miner, employed
In Coronado, shot eight times In arms
and stomach; John Malioney, miner,
shot through tlie stomach; Frank
Telle and Martin Scott, both Coro
nado miners, injuries not fatal. Ma
honey who was shot near the Emmett
mine, claims he was there merely as a
spectator. At least three or tlie
attacking party at tlie Emmett mine
were hit with bullets, but were
carried away by comrades.
Tlie Coronado people heard of the
coming trouble last night, but with
the supposition that an attack was
to be made at the Emmett. Soon
after the destruction was commenced
many citizens responded quickly,
armed with rifles and shot guns, but
they couid do little fighting against
fire and dynamite. Foreman Okeefe
was shot from behind, just after he
turned on a strem of water at the
Coronado. To-day hundreds of
miners sav they will go to work at
once. They bitterly denounce the
extremists and say their action lost
the miners htrike.
The arrival of the militia is anx
iously awaited despite the apparent
calm. Local companlesi have been
to the .hills, and armed citizens are
patrollng the streets.
The city council today, decided to
aid the state officers in apprehending
the rioters. At a mass meeting this
afternoon th'e lawless element will be
denounced and it will be demanded
that the troublesome men leave camp.

St. Louis, Sept. 14.
It was my privilege to be In St.
Louis during tlio great demonstration
when Bryan spoke to the multitudes
last Saturday evening, nnd such
crowds us were on the streets arid at
tlio meetings I have never before coino
In contact .with. He arrived In the
city at 0.15 p. in., and the throng was
so great that his committees could
hardly; .reach the train. At 8 o'clock
ho speko at Concordia Park to about
25,000 people. Hero I had n good seat
In the press gallery, and enjoyed the
feast of tlio season.
Tlio speaker was tired, nnd as he
spoke the sweat rolled off his face like
it docs from Til Ford's when bela
bors with n Jury. Mr. Bryan made
no effort at oratory, but his eVery
word and Htatoment appealed to tlio
vast assembly as to one man.
For thirty minutes lie held them In
tho very best f humor, when the
vast throng grow wild with applause
his one movement was sufficient to
Bllcnco them for tho reception of
more of his hard logic and horso sense.
At the close of his talk a represen
tative of the Journeyman horso-shoers
association of,St. Louls,prescnted tho
great speaker with a beautiful silver
horseshoe. This ho received with su
perb grace, and his felicitous response
in accepting the gift was a gem. Ills
words were filled with a kindness
that went to every heart as though
they had been addressed to tlio indi
vidual instead of a seething mass.
At 0 o'clock Mr. Bryan spoke ut tlio
greut auditorium, where McKlnley
was nominated, and where tho Pop
ulists had tendered the great Nebras
ka!) an endorsement. Tlie building
web packed, as were tho streets four
blocks In each direction from It. Here
ho made the great speech of tho
evening, and tho ovation given
him was greater than 'any
thing of the kind ever bctore
witnessed In St. Louis. The last
meeting of the evening was at another
park where it Is Bald 40,000 to 50,000
people had congregated. Here tho
platform, all except the corner upon
which the speaker stood, collupsed,
and tho panlo which followed practi
cally broke up the meeting. Tho
speaker jumped Into his carriage, and
had the crowd fairly quieted, when
the thundering cheers startled tho
team which cut a circle through the
crowd, and when gotten under control
the committee drovo away with Mr.
Bryan, and his spceclt was but fairly
begun. The crowd was disappointed,
and started for the Planters hotel,
where u small fraction of tyiem were
gratified by sight of the great orator.
The intense strain under which Mr.
Bryan Is living must be something
awful, yet he appears equal to the
emergency always, physically as well
as In his ability to entertain. When
in St. Louis on his previous visit, at
the time of McKInley's nomination,
Mr. Bryan could get only a back room
in a small hotel, and was unknown to
the public. Today he Is tho Hon of
all. Even at church Mr. Bryan Is not
free from tho homago , which the
charm of his simple manner carries
with It.
On Sunday qui to a thousand pcoplo
were gathered on the sidewalks In
front of the Grand Avenue Presbyter
Ian church to see him. There was
no room on the luside. Every pew
was filled and mi were the gallery
scats. There never was such Uvcrowd
m the pretty stono house of '.worship,
and people eagerly sough tmjnilsslon
who had never been Inside of Itliefmc.
The poll te ushers accommodated every
body that it was possible to seat.
Ladies largely predominated Jn the
congregation, and a score or more of
decrepit old men, who looked ,as if
they hud not iccii able to got to
church for.yraisiiQbhJetl down the
aisles nnd rfotth.d In. ihulr pawn to
worship the Sin lnur yf mankind and
incidentally to admire William" J.
Bryan.. -. . .
Tlie choir was singing tlie last verse
of the opening hymn when Mr. Bryan
entered. As tho last strains of the
organ died away Rcy. Mr. Cannon
roso and read the thirty-seventh
psalm, and the reading was followed
by the congregation sliiging, "Arise,
O King," In which Mr. Bryan joined.
Ills vocal accomplishments have not
been cultivated with the euro that
his elocutionary powers have, but he
has u full, rich voice and "carries a
tune" very well In a general chorus.
At the conclusion of tlio services an
tinusal scene uccurred. People in nd
Joining pews crowded around to shako
Mr. Bryan's hand. Colonel Martin
tried for a tlmetointrodncothcm,but
thoy came too fast, Mr. Bryan gavo
his sore right hand to the ladies aud
tho hefty left to tho men. Ho stood
in the aisle at his pow and shook
hands for several minutes, and then
Rov.Cannon camo down, he was ntro
duced and led htm down In tho open
before altar, so that tho eager mon,
woman and children could grasp his
hand and pass on out tholoft entrance.
Tho handshaking in front of the altar
lasted for fully 10 minutes, and as)
pcoplo passed out one door a stream of
them crowded hi tho next.
Mr. Bryan and Colonel Martin saw
they were In for It, and u Sergeant of
police came to tlio rcscuo and with
several gentlemen took Mr. Bryan by
the arm and forced their way out of
the church.
And then Mr. Bryan saw what ho
had never seen boforo. For blocks
about tho church was u great multi
tude, soveral thousand, and wholly
forgetful of tho Sabbath they cheered
him as lustily as ho had been cheered
tho night before at Concordia und
Sportsman's Parks and tho Auditor
ium. The police pulled him through
the crowd from the church door to
his carrlago at tho curb, but men held
the horses, and for several minutes
ho sat In the carrlago shaking hands
with men and women who struggled
to reach him. Colonel Martin, who
had been left behind In tho Jam at
the church door, finally reached tho
carriage and got Into ltaud the horses
dashed away amid the cheers of the
enthusiastic church goers. A. F. II.
