the streams still playing on the smoul-Coring embers , nnd the weary flremcn who[fed fought t'io elements all through theklormy uight lingered patiently at their

Tests. They had conquered the flames , butIjliclr thoughtful faces nnd half whisccrcd-iionverontlon evinced the sadness withlyiilch they regarded the terrible cost.

Lescending shower of the ruins which cov-t

-t red him to a depth of several fcot. Hisptody was tciribly crushed and mangled , andMl seemed certain that his death was instan-yineous

-

and that ho was mercifully spared-ho horrors of Imprisonment nlivo in the'turning ruin. Ills body was removed to the

Jooth the dead firemen today.-V

.Almost ns soon as it was daylight the curl-

pus crowd that had braved the storm theflight before returned to loiter around theI ruins. The lire line was still enforced by the| police , and the visitors wcro compelled to re-main

¬

at a safe distance from the walls. As-these moved away others eum'o , and proba-

i lily not less than !25,000 pcoplo visited the' ruins during the forenoon.

When the firemen ceased throwing wateron the debris an engine was sent for and

, stationed In front of the Shiverick buildingto pump the water out of the basement. The

j'collar was full to the level of the sidewalk ,

f'' ..nd It required several hours to transfer thedeluge into the nearest catch basin.

of the conflagration and carried withlit the greater part of the side walls. TheVvcst wall fell outward nnd descended withliondcrous forcq on the wooden structure of-

Iho Mauror building , crushing It like an egg' hell. Morris , Cox and Ouray were on theI oof of the Mauror building when without a-

.

. Charles Shlvorlcic nnd hU bookkeeper ,

Captain Scarff , visited the ruins yesterdayand watched the workmen digging away thedebris In an attempt to got at the safe. Thestrong box is buried twenty fcot under theruins and it will probably take a couple ofdays to roach It.

Regarding the insurance Mr. Shlvcrlclcsaid : "Wo have at the present time Insur-ance

¬

amounting to between $33,000 nnd $90-000.

,-. Our stock at the time of the fire was

worth to us fully $100,000 , perhaps a llttlomore , but not much. "

In reply to the question asking what com-panies

¬

carried his policies , Mr. Shlvorlcicsaid that contrary to the rule all tx ltcles-ivcro In the safe and ho could not tell until.hat was dug up and opened-

."The.

list of Insurance companies carryingur losses as reported In the World-lerald

-, Is away off. They evidently

opted that list from our lastIro. Slnco that tlmowo havehanged companies and now probably onlyiold policies In tw'o or three on that list. "

Inspector Hnrttnan was at the scene dur-ng

-the afternoon , but declined to give any

stimulo of the loss , ilo said that it wouldako a good half day's work for the clerks in-ils ofllco to got at the exact amount of In-

uranco-

carried by the Sim-cricks.How llil It StnrlT

The origin of the flro remains as deep amystery as when the flames were first dls-overed

-. leaping from the roof and the frontwindows. At first the theory was fully ex-n'cssed

-

that lightning was responsible for.lie disastrous conflagration , and that thecloctrlu wires had assisted materially In con-veying

¬

the spark to the combustibles in thebuilding. With the excitement attendantupon such events allayed , other theories arendvanccd , and electricity Is not held aloneresponsible for the awful work of Saturdaynight. Those acquainted with the scienceof electricity and its workings are loth to-

bcltovo that the llro originated inhat manner. Electricians nro more

or loss acquainted with the freaks of licht-ing

-, nnd after turning the matter over In

their minds , some of them have reached the'onelnsiim thnt It was impossible for a bolt

to gain entrance to the building through thebrick walls or iron shutters at the windows-.Uoth

.

are pronounced nonconductors , andwill act as a perfect Insulator to whatevermight be on the opposite side. The roof otthe building was considered fireproof , andas it is pretty generally- thought by thosefirst upon the ground that tlio tire found itsorigin on the second or third floors near thecenter of the room , the theory that the'ightnlng found its way through the roof willlurdly stand. But as' to the exact manneru which the flames were kindled no ouoventures an absolute opinion.

Wires lu Good Condition.Shortly after the Shiverick flro last fall

M. 1. Cowglll , now the city electrician , madean inspection of the wiring in the building.-IIo

.

found it to bo first class in every particu-lar

¬

and could not ascertain where there wasany probability of fire originating from thatsource. lie has made no examination since ,

and is not aware that any changes havebeen mado. IIo reserves his opinion uponthomattcr until ho has examined the trans-formers

¬

that are burled underneath thedebris. Tlio transformers are iron recepta-cles

¬

, varying lu si o , and are used to protectthe outside wire and inside wire cells bywhich ono is connected with the other. Ifthe electric bolt gained entrance to thebuilding in that manner orasiblo evidence o-fit will exist In the box.

Chief Gailigan is a believer in the electricbolt theory. IIu says that he was standingat the Paxton corner , when ho noticed theflames leaping skyward , and that but a fewmoments before two balls of flro illumed thefirmament. Ills experience with fires hascovered twenty-seven years In Omaha alone ,

and ho feels satisfied that it would bo im-possible

-for a number of men to bo in an ad-

joining¬

building and not dotcct the smell ofsmoke , If the conflagration nad started in arordinary way , or was smouldering. It sprcatwith too great a rapidity , ho thinks , to haveoriginated In any other manner. The pointwhere the bolt entered lie docs not know , bui-ho believes that that is the way in whichthe flro started.-

IllsouNtlui.

; the Lightning Theory.Ono of the best known electricians in town

discussed the question quite freely , and inthe course of his remarks said : "I do noiunderstand how an electric bolt could haveentered the building , although there Is abare chance that It did. Those brick wallswere noncondnctlvo unless they were soakedwith water. The Iron shutters in the rearwere also. I take no stock whatever In thetheory that the bolt was carried Into thebuilding over the electric wires. If It was ,

evidence of the fact will bo found when anexamination Is made of the transformers , orconverters , as we call them , that wcro onthe outside of the building. It would havehad to pass through there , and that I con-sider

¬

next to Impossible. The transformeris an iron receptacle , and they vary in size.Within tlio outside wire is coiled manytimes , as is the Inside , and the connection isthus made , making the outside wiring Inde-pendent

¬

of tlio Inside , Tlio cells are proba ¬

bly an inch apart , nnd between them isplaced insulating materi'ils. To have gainedentrance the bolt would have had to leapfrom ono cell to the other. This probablywould have been the cnso , as thevoltage would have-been sufficient to forcethe leap. But before the bolt had enteredthe box It undoubtedly would have torn itInto fragments and broken the connection.-As

.I understand it the wiring in the build-

ing¬

was all exposed to view. In sucli a case iftthe bolt entered the building , it would havehad to coma In contact with a gas plpo or-scmo othoi : conductor to have loft the copperwire , which was capable of conducting itand would not have been burned out. Inview of the filets I da not consider that elec-tricity

¬

is responsible for Ilia fire , ami believeit will haw to bo traced to some otherorifhi , "

The insurance men are desirous of an in-vestigation

¬

Into thu matter , and a wellknown underwriter whoso companies holdiwlleles , saiu that an effort would bo made tolocate the real origin of the flro. Ho hashopes that the elcutrlo bolt theory will beexploded and that spontaneous combustionor some other cause will bo fully establishedand held responsible for the flames.-

Harold Frederic cables the Now YorkTimes as follows : Reassembling this wcoltafter the holidays the Commons loaves anextremely grim impression of Gladstone. Forthe first time ho seems to acknowledge hisago and to bow before tlio impending shears.The old man , always courtesy itself , seems tohave taken on transfiguration garments.-Ho

.

is as subtle and dexterous as of yore , butand inclined to bo deprecatory ,

rising with a warming linger llko an ancientsibyl to rebuke his unruly opponents whoshrink before his apparition as from a ghost ,and grow silent when ho rises in thestormiest moments of the house , nnd withweird respect cows the bitterest of hisenemies. But it is purely personal , nnd staysno moment of the general obstruction.

Conversely to the saying spread of oldthat the beloved apostle should not die ,rumor whispers among the Gladstonlan dis-ciples

¬

that the old man Is going , nnd au nwc.struck hush fulls upon the turbulentassembly whenever ho rises. Enemiestreat him as if each speech mightbo his last and deferentially listen to avoice that fails now and then , but is-okcd out with a gracious gesture. Nobodydreams of complaining that ho cannot hear-while strangers look on appalled at thedumb show , and reporters compare notes tocollate each syllable. There Is murmuringthat Gladstone's speech gets harder andharder to tako. With extraordinary tenacityho refuses to allow Morloy. Harcourt , or any-one else to stcor the bill , and remains tillmidnight lighting , fencing , and rapicring as-if in his priiro.

Just to enable a cheap revised volume ofstatutes to bo published. His Irish sympa-thies

¬

his lifetime.Meanwhile every effort of his genius is

smothered by the stupidity of ChairmanMcllor , who is now spoken of openly as n-

curso. . Mcllor tolerates bogus speeches andamendments amid Gladstone's visible writhi-ngs.

-. The Irish are openly revolting against

How American ?M slcal Students Tlvo In

Georpo1-W. . Pepper , United Gtatcs consul at Milan ,

Italy , has made an interesting report uponthe difficulties encountered by Americanmusical students in Italy. Mr. Pcppor saysthat the great majority of youm * studentsgo to Milan "to finish off" return to theirhomes In a few years without having ro-

colvcd-

great benefit , and disillusioned as tothe merits of the Italian masters , and hothen proceeds to give some advice as to how-this disappointing result may bo prevented.

Choosing a teacher Is ono of the dlfllcult-problem. . Now that the two most famousmvslcians , San GoV'iana ami Lampcro , nrodead , thcro are 150 others , more or less cele-brated

¬

, from whom to chooso. Youngwomen are wronglyjallowcd to como alone tothis country and bojro confronted by anotherdilliculty , as social etiquette , which forbidstholr taking a lessop unless a third personbo present , condemns tholr appearing inpublic alono. Thiscjistom Is gradually givingway to moro liberal fviows , but it has often ,even recently , subjected young Americanwomen to the most annoying persecutions.

Out of the hundreds who have como tohave their voices tested , only ono , to myknowledge , received nn honest verdict fromthe master to the effect that the quality ofher voice did not Justify her m commencinglessons. Unfortunately the majority believethat they are destined for a successfulcareer. They remain from month to montliand year to year , continuing their lessonsand waiting for engagements.

Three cases have been brought to Mr-.Pepper's

.attention whore the cupidity of the

master in wishing to keep his pupils fora longtlmo in order to continue to receive theirmoney caused disappointment that resultedin the unsettling of the reason of allthree. Wrong ideas with regard to thecheapness of Hying in Italy is alsoanother reason for the failure ofstudents , many of whom think thatboard can bo had so cheaply that theybring insufficient funds. This , says Mr ,Pepper , is ono of tlio primary causes of finaldiscouragement and failure. No ono canlive very cheaply. They may enter theHoyal conservatory whore tuition is very low.but few Americans succeed in doing so. asthe conditions for entering nro very strict.None over twenty-two years of ago nro ac-coptcd

-, or wltnout some knowledge of the

Italian language. Out of 100 Americansingers now residing in Milan not ono hassucceeded In entering this year. '

The majority of Americans have been inMilan for moro than a year : a number formoro than flvo yea s. New York , Ohio nndCalifornia send the greatest number. Thequality of their voices in purity and range issaid to surpass those of other nations , hutthe fact is apparent , says Mr. Popper , thatnot moro than live per cent of them attaingrout success on the stage ,

An examinationshowed that the woman was badly burnedfrom head-to foot and it w.is thought thenthat the chances of saving her llfo wereslim.

After the Brown woman was capturedDetectives Savage and Dompscy called atthe hospital with n notary to take the pa-

, Tex. , Juno 4. A special fromEagle Pass to the Galveston News says :

Full particulars of the Fuonto coal mlnodisaster , as nearly as can bo learned , nro nSfollows :

The Mexican International railway whichrecently caino Into possession of the mines,Is operating n narrow gauge road with asmall engine which penetrates the mainentry , hauling In empty and bringingout loaded cars. This main entryIs lined on the sides and nt the top withcrcsotcd lumber , nnd thrco air shafts from Ib

supply the miners with ventilation. Theentrance of the track Is on the north side ot-

a range of hills , through vhlch It passesdown an incline to the mouth of the tunnel,

on the banks of the Hto Escondldo river.The working are all to the cast of the mainentry , and some fifty men wore employedtaking out coal-

.At

. M4 o'clock yesterday evening , shortly

after the locomotive loft , the mine was dis-

covered to bo on flro and smoke and flame *

wcro scon issuing from the nirshafts.About one-half of the miners were workingnear the main tunnel nnd thcso made tholeescape , leaving twenty-six of their nuinbca-to perish from the boat and smoke and fromthe poisonous gas , which spread like light *

ning to every portion of the mines.All Hope Ahniulonotl.

When It was scon that all efforts wcrouseless to rescue the Imprisoned minersevery energy was directed to saving theproperty from destruction. Pipes wcro laidinto the mine as far as any work could be done)

and hose attached and water poured on tothe burning timbers , nnd in thrco hours theflro was under control. There are twenty-si *chambers in the mlno nnd the dead minersare supposed to bo well to tlio front 01 themino-

.At

.

12 o'clock today ono body had been ra-

covcrad irom the seventh chamber anilshortly afterwards another , fearfullyicorched and blackened , was brought to thelurfnco. The tenth chamber has bp

reached and men with ropes tied to thcicbodies , to effect tncir rescue if overcome byheat and smoko-aro, lighting their way to-

ivhcrovtho bodies of , their dead eomradea'jiro-ylng. . Superintendent George Spence ven-

tured¬

and smoko. ' Ho was prostrated , but wasrescued.

All Ilodlns Will Ito Recovered-.It

is bclioved that by tomorrow the miniwill bo cleared of the heat and smoke , whichnt present it is impossible to cope with , andthat all the bodies will bo recovered. AUthe miners employed wcro Mexicans , and,

most of them leave destitute families-.It

.

is reported that all parties responsible *

for the management of the mines have boon ,

placed under arrest , pending an investigationof the causes of the disaster. But for theprompt action of the Mexican Internationaland their heroic efforts , thomlno would havebeen destroyed and none of their bodieswould have been recovered.

This is the flrst great disaster in the his-

tory¬

of coal mining in Mexico.Largo numbers of the friends nnd relatives

of the unfortunate miners nro gathered asthe mouth of the mine , mutely awaiting therecovery of the bodies of tholr sons and hus-

bands.

no outburst of grlofbut a look of resignationand deep grief appears upon every counton-anco.
