Victims of the Indianapolis Horror Heard in the Buins, TWENTY-NINE DEAD AND HURT Lieut. Steel’s Court-Martial Opens Today at Chicago. VISITORS APPLAUD HIS DISCOMFITURE He THE INDIANAPOLIS HORROR. Stories of the Two Survivors and the Narrow Escape of Others. Ixptanarotis, March 18.—It will take fully twenty-four hours to remove all the debris and until that is done there is no estimating how many lost their lives in yesterday's fire. The firemen who escaped think it is possible that there may be several bodies iu the cellar, as a few minutes before the crash came several men were in the rear lower floor room of the build- ing attempting to getout some of the firm's books that had not been burned. It was re- ported that three little newsboys had been standing very near the wall which collapsed, watching the actions of the firemen. If this is 80 there is little hope of their being taken out alive. Fire Chief Daugherty is being very se- verely criticised for ordering the firemen into the building when it was in such an unsafe condition. Five minutes before the crash came the firemen were warned by citizens to leave the building, but the warning was un- heeded. A fund has been started for the relief of the injured firemen and the families of the dead and injured. Mayor Sullivan has issued & proclamation calling for subscriptions. The coroner hasbeen investigating and will hold an inquest today. Wells Robinson, who was res- cued with a badly cut and bruised leg, gave the following account of the disaster: “I was work- ing in the cellar when the crash came and I was knocked down and must have lost conscious- ness fora moment, When I recovered I found that a piece of timber had lodged across my leg and held me fast. Eshay Stormer I could hear calling for help about ten feet away. He was in a worse place than I was and he became quiet after a time. I struggled hard to get free, as it was terribly hot and the burning timbers were all around me. I jerked my leg free at last and crawled out between the wall and the ruins.” Thomas Barrett, the driver of No. 6, was vis- ited at his home, 275 South West street He was found sitting up talking to a host of friends who had gathered to ascertain the extent of his injuries and was about to give his own ac- count of the affair, twenty feet away from me. I wagon the lad- der on the Court street side and around me were Bloomer, Billy Reisner, McGinniss and Jones. I could not ssy how the wall fell, but it seemed to give way all at once just as the floors gave in, probably because the supports in the cellar were gone. I did not lose con- sciousness, but I was pinned down and could not get loose until they took me out.” Thomas Dillon, superintendent of the Brush electric light company, and William Long had a miraculous escape. They were on the roof of the burning building cutting the electric wires when the crashcame. By quick jump- ing both succeeded in reaching an adjoining roof and escaped injury. VOICES STILL HEARD. An army of workmen is busily engaged cart- ing away the debris to exhume the bodies of the dead and injured buried in the ruins of the Bowen-Merrill book company building. The voices of several person yet in the ruins can be faintly heard and an excited throng of friends of the missing ones are anxiously waiting the clearing away of the piles of brick and broken timbers that hold imprisoned, alive or dead, the missing firemen. ‘The injured number eighteen. The fire originated in the basement from the fur- nace, but in what manner is not known. The furnace was recently refitted and was supposed to be in good cundition. TWENTY-NINE IN ALL, The list of dead by the falling of the Bowen- Merrill company’s building has not been changed since last night. Up to noon today eight dead bodies have been taken out and two more have been found, but have not yet been unloosed from their pinions, The one body taken out this morning was that of Tony Volz of hook and ladder company 2 Henry Woodruff and Espy Stormer, pipemen, are missing and they are supposed to be the men whose bodies have been reached. It is feared that there are some citizens under the ruins, as there were several young men on the roof of the building just before it went down. Altogether twenty-nine persons have been taken out of the ruins, At least half of those taken out alive are danger- ously burt and two of them are not expected to live. The work of clearing away the debris goes steadily on, but it will be a couple of days before the entire wreckage can be removed. LIEUT. STEELE WITHOUT STRAPS, His Court Martial Opens Today in Chicago. Cuicaco, March 18.—Promptly at noon to- day the members of the court martial ap- pointed by Gen. Crook for the trial of Second Lieut. M. F. Steele of the eighth cavalry, on the charge of conduct tending to destroy military order and discipline wssembled in one of the spacious guard rooms of bat- tery D. Col. Jas. F. Wade presided, Capt, Arthur Murray acting judge advocate of the department of the Missouri, officiated as judge advocate, while Sergeant B. F. Paulinn acted as orderly for Gen. Crook. The | members of the court were in full regimentals. while the accused appeared in fatigue uniform. He was accom ied by his counsel, Lieut. E. H. Crowder of the eighth cavalry, who was in civilian attire. The charges presented were very brief. Spe- ification one set forth that the accused, without justification therefor, struck Private Dell Wild face with his clenched fist. The second specification was to the effect that on the — of _ assault Steele made use of unbecoming guage in applyin, epithets to Private Wild. To both medion, tious Steele made the plea that he was not guilty. The court-martial was held with open doors and the space reserved for the general public was packed by some four hundred people, whose sympathies in favor of the private were manifested by repeated applause when his tes- timony bore against the accused, WILD IN CouRT. Wild, a man of decidedly unfavorable pres- ence, was the first witness. He entered the room with a tough's swagger and failed to re- move hie hat until after he had taken his seat before the members of the court. been tober Incing some canvas resulted jn the assau! applying to hi by Steele of vile epithets. On cross-examination he said that his refusal was based upon the idea that the work was menial. 1 THE EVENING STAR: 2d EDITION. THE COMMANDANT ARRESTED.

Niacana Farts, March 18,—County Crown Attorney Ball thinks Burchell bas been out to Canada twice before this last trip and several matters that have come up in the case seem to strengthen this opinion. One mystery that so far has been unsolved is who Burchell’s “governor” is. In his letters the prisoner refers to the “governor,” and again, in corr: from Mr. Stevenson, that ——— refers to an income allowed by an adopted father, which is dependent u; caprice. Whether there is some person who friended him in England is a question so far unknown. In Woodstock he was constantly speaking of his “governor” and of remittances from his ‘‘governor.” One thing is certain, that Burchell had some acquaintance not known to the public in the court room at jy ep Falls, as then brought up on the stand, he smiled and nodded to an unknown man in the crowd. The better class of people here deny that Burchell ever the entre to so- ciety. Although he made very free with his money his reckless habits proved an ob- stacle which money could not remove, A sur- vey of the road from Eastwood to the swamp where Benwell’s body was found will be made, and a plan of the locality and a eee of the spot where the body lay will be used at the trial. It is said the crown will allow Mrs. Bur- chell to return to England with her father. piranha FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market. tue Row Tork stock Manet: as reported GF npesiol Wire to Corson and Macartney, 1410 F street: Atel Bell Cen. c. £0.

Both menare under twenty-five years old apd are frequenters of saloons in that section of the city known as “Hell's Bottom.” Keith Sutherland's saloon, corner of 12th a and B streets, was the point where the quarrel resulting in the stabbing began. Watson, who bad complained of having the toothache, stretched himself out ona box in the saloon and fell fast asleep. His loud snoring at- tracted the attention of the other colored of the saloon and one of them aroused The statements as to oused Watson differ, but at any rate he and Wells quarreled and were ordered eutside of the saloon if they wanted to fight, as the proprie- tor objected to having any such disorders in his saloon. The “growl” lasted a minutes and the men went outside and renewed the quarrel. 4 KNIFE FLASHED OUT. The men hardly knew what they were quar- reling about or how many biows were ex- changed, when a bystander called to Watson: “Look out, Charlie, he's got a knife!’ Charlie was already on the lookout, but he did not a ee for a moment that Wells ill him. "Before h eapon Wells fore he saw the wi fells had plunged the blade of it into his chest aud Watson Tel to the pavement with a put the knife back in his t and ~_ Police- We! walked away quite unconcerne man Grant was the first officer to arrive upon the scene of the tragedy and he summoned the patrol wagon, in which the wounded man was conveyed to the hospital. APPARENTLY DEAD. When the officers arrived at the hospital the wounded man to all appearances was dead, and had it not been for the examination made by the physicians, Shadd and Glennon, the un- fortunate man would probubly have been con- signed to the ‘‘dead house.” ‘atsou’s pulee was not perceptible, not even to the physicians, but there were signs of life in the warmth of his Pony, and the physicians ve him stimulants. They also ed hot bricks about him and in about an hour he ral- lied. This morning his condition was still critical, although he was much brighter than he was last night, GEORGE SMITH’s BTORY. George Smith, who was present during the affray, is the most important witness for the Prosecution. According to his story Wells aroused the sleeping man and they then en- ed ine quarrel, They went outside and ‘atson said: “Go away, George, or I'll carry you to h—L. tonne retorted: “If I go to h—1 we'll both go rT.” lows then passed and Watson fell tothe ground with the stab wound in his breast, WELLS SURRENDERED HIMBELF. It was about 10 o'clock last night that Wells returned to Sutherland's saloon and purchased @ piece of tobacco. When he left the saloon he told the proprietor that he was going to sur- Tender to the police. Soon afterward be en- tered the second precinct station with Officer Grant and was locked up. WELLS PLEADS SELF-DEFFNSE, Wells udmitted the stabbing, but claimed that he did it in self-defense. He said that a young man named Will Scott shook Watson, who was asicep, and when the latter got up he (Wells) laughed ut him. This angered Watson, wao started the quarrel, and some one said: “Go outside and fight it out.” He objected to having a fight, but Watson insisted on it. Wells said that he went outside to getrid of Watson, but returned to the saloon afterward they met outside. Watson, he said, struck him and put his hand behind him. He thought he saw a revolver. Concerning the knife he said he was cleaning his finger | ¢shth nails at the time. and he slashed with it back- ward and forward to keep Watson off, and that, he said. was how Watson got injured. He told the officer that he gave the knife to | 8 female trieud, Eliza Bro ELIZA DENIES. The officer found Eliza at her service place On 14th street, but she denied knowing any- thing about the weapon. She afterward told the officer that she took the knife to Wells’ home,on Boundary street, and it was there that the knife was found tied up inanapron. Eliza was placed under arrest a8 @ witness and was held at the police station last night, The pris- ouer will be held without bail until Watson is reported out of danger. COMMITTED To JAIL. The prisoner was taken to the Police Court this afternoon and charged with assault and battery with intent to kill He was represented by Mr. Joseph Shillington. As the court would not accept buil he was committed to jail. ee we. A Successful Newspaper. ‘From the Evansville (Ind) Courier.

TOO MUCH OF A NEWSPAPER MAN. Why Executive Clerk Young is Not Ready to Accept a Bank Presidency. The statement in the morning newspapers to the effect that Mr. James RK. Young, the chief executive clerk of the United States Senate, and who has been well known as a Washington newspaper correspondent during the last twen- ty-four years, was about to resign his official Position for the purpose of accepting the pres- | idency of the Commonwealth national bank of Philadelphia has created a lively stir among the political elements that surround the Senate wing of the Capitol. These elements have been peculiarly sensitive since the meeting of Congresa, owing to the agitation that has been kept up concerning a contemplated change in the position of ser- geant-at-arms of the Senate. Those most iu- terested think they see in the alleged early re- tirement of Mr. Young the consummation of a movement to have a general “shake up” in the four elective officesof the Senate, namely, the secretarysbip,now held by Gen. A.G. MeCook of New York; the sergeant-at-arms, held vy Col. Canaday of North Carolina; the chief ship, held by Col, Johnson of Minnesota, the chief executive clerkship, held by Mr. Young. These are all known among the poli- ticians as gilt-edge re , and if Mr. Young should resign it would start the ball roliing for & general change and there would bea big scramble among the outs to catch on, Mr. Young was seen at his office by a repre- sentative of Tux Stan today und in regard to the stories printed about him said: ‘Several months ago Mr. Burroughs, who has held the position of president of the Commonwealth national bank of Philadelphia for neariy a quarter of a century, expressed a wish to retire | on account of his age, he being in his seventy- year. With this object in view he disposed of a controlling interest in the bauk toa number of well-known business |}men of Philadelphia who are my personal friends, Among others of the stock holders of the bank they thought of making its president was myself, and the tender was made by the board of directors several weeks ago. It was my desire to accept, but only on the condition that the new position would not interfere with my newspaper connection in Philadelphia. 1 am inclined to the feeling after looking into the matter carefully that it would, and I have so notified my friends in the bank.” AFTER MR. CANADAY’S PLACE. A Conference of Republican Senators to be Heid Tonight. Aconference of republican Senators will be held tonight at the residence of Senator Ed- munds, at which it is said the question of mak- ing a change in the office of sergeant-at-arms will be discussed. The present sergeant-at-arms is W. P. Cana- day of North Caroilna, He bas beeu a protege of Sevator Sherman for a number of years. Recentiy a determined effort has been made to have him removed from bis office to make to the city in which it ts published has had such phenomenal success as Tax Evesixo Stan of Washington, D.C. Its edition of January 11 is not surpassed in size or in the quantity and quality of its contents by any other paper, morning or evening, published on that date within the limits of the Union. This interest- ing issue contains a brief history of the growth of the paper, which is too loug. however, even to bricfly summarize here. But it seems to clearly justify the claim which ‘la Stax makes that it “is, without exception, the best local advertising medium in the United States, or. in fact, in any country.” Tue Stan bases this claim upon the remarkable fact, as shown by its eworn statement, that 923¢ per cent of its entire circulation—30,090 daily—is sold and de- livered within the corporate limits of the city of Washington. It is, indeed, doubtful if there is another paper in the world that can show so large a percentage of circulation within the limits of the locality in which it is published. The space used by advertisers aggregated | 7,779 columns for the year 1888, which was in- | creased for the year 1889 to an aggregate of 9,223 columns, this large increase being exclu- sively in the line of every-day business adver- tising, and not including official or legal adver- tising. It will be easily conceived, therefore, that Tae Evexixe Stag isamoney making paper, and owes its success to the intelligent and lib- eral management which has characterized its career since it first came under the control of its present owners, see — DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, ILDING PERMITS as follows: C.

Republican Sugar Men May Fight It on the Floor. The sugar men on the republican side of the House will probably hold a conference to de- termine on their action with relation to the tariff bill when it comes from the committee. At present there are a number who are dis- posed to fight the thing out on the flour. but how many will bold to this disposition after they hear the crack of the purty whip is a ques- tion that cannot be answered at this time. WHAT MR. MANSUR THINKS IT MEANS. AStan reporter asked Mr. Mansur of Mis- souri what he thought of the sugar cut agreed on. “My first impression is that it means high duty on everything else. Here is a cut of about two-thirds—about $40,000,000. In the present condition of the national finances, with all the appropriations demanded, we cannot stand a much greater reduction of revenue, and the farmers will have to go on paying high duties on things of their daily consumption that ought to be on the free list. They will have to pay high duties on their implements, on their lumber aad salt, on their woolen clothing, their burb-wire fences and the like.” THEY FAVOR THE REDUCTION, Mr. Morrill said he favored a heavy reduc- tion on sugar and on everything else that was a daily necessary of life for the poor man. ir. Kelly of Kunsas suid he was in favor of the entire repeal of the sugar duty. FOR ASSAULTING HIS WIFE, A Colored Lawyer Has a Chance to Defend Himself. Lewis Murray Brown, a colored lawyer, was sitting in the Police Court this morning ready to take a case, should a client appear, when he was approached by Policeman Jordan, who showed him a warrant that had been sworn out by his wife, charging him with assault.
