INQUEST ON CARRIE BROWN'S CASE Indications That the Charleston is On the Alert. CARLYLE HARRIS’ CRIME. VICTIMS OF FOREST FIRES. Survivors of the Til-Fated Work Train in Pennsylvania—In Other States. Avstix, Pa, May 13.—The excitement at- tending the late forest fire is gradually subsid- ing, but on the streets may be seen many men whose hands and faces are bandaged and whose singed hair and other marks of ill usage proclaim them survivors of the fire. Others, who are being cared for at the boarding houses and their homes, are notable to be out and some of them never will be. No other subject is talked of but the terrible fire. Survivors of the ill-fated train which was burned regard their escape as something of a miracle. ‘The missing men have not been found yet and it may be a week before the complete list of the victims will be made known. ‘The only dead body found was that of Supt. Badger. pias The following is a partial list of injured and burned: Fred Snow, Fred Poleman, Pat Fi rell, P. Wold, W. Winthrop, Weathersby, William Darbyshear, Welch, Frank Doran, and seriously burned. Wold, Winthrop and Weathersby are not expected to recover. A Swede named George Brine and a Hungarian named Andrew Michlin are aiso fatally burned. Pat Doyle had his knee fractured in jumping from the train. M. E. Brown, face badly Steve Busholder, Andy Busk, Charl ‘larence Barden, Charles Christenden, : x Hutchinson and four Hungarians, names unknown, all were more or less burned. The above named are all residents of this town. Throughout the entire district the number of injured and burned will reach 100. The Austin chemical works were destroyed. The losses caused by the fire cannot be com- puted on account of the vast territory covered and the meager means of communication. Paul Costa, who has been in the woods for several days fighting the fire, says that a num- ber of men have surely lost their lives in the various lumber camps that were destroyed. Mrs. W. H. Badger, wife of the dead superi tendent. arrived here yesterday. Her grief is most pitiable. STILL RAGING IN MICHIGAN. Derrort, Micu., May 13.—A Cheboygan, Mich., dispatch says that forest fires are doing considerable damage in the interior of the county. Much property has been destroyed, including barns, fences and standing timber. Unless rain comes the damage will be great. The c wrapped in a dense smoke and the Mackinac straits are so densely over- hung with smoke as to seriously impede the progress of all boats. On both sides of the Michigan Central track from Mackinaw City to Frederick Station, a small town im the southern part of this (Che- boygan) county, fires burn fiercely, and the smoke is so dense that lamps must be lighted early in the afternoon. The towns of Indian River and Rondo are much in danger and doz- ens of men are fighting the fiery monster. Reports from all parts of the northern half of the lower peninsula show the fires are still raging. Clinton, Clare county, and Walkerville, Oceana county, towns of 100 inhabitants each, are added to the list of those burned by forest fires. In each case the destruction of the homes of the inhabitants was accompanied by heavy loss to the lumber firms having sawmills at the places named. ‘The loss those firms on buildings and machine! amounts to over $100,000. In addition to th an amount not easily to be reckoned has been Jost in the destruction of the foreste. At present there is little hope that the fire can soon be stayed, and the entire lumber dis- trict of four or five counties lies at its mercy. There has been little rain this season and the country is in the same condition as it was when devastated in 1871. FLAMES IN MINNESOTA. Detvra, Mrsx., May 18.—Forest fires raged yesterday in nearly every direction from Du- lath, and a large amount of damage was done. The Duluth fire department was called to Les- ter Park, and it took a hard fight to save the place from entire destruction. ‘The depart- ment was successful in its efforts and saved the village from any serious damage. It is re- jorted that the houses of several farmers have m burned. The St. Louis Land Company were obliged to send out a large force of men to fight tires again. A stable and horse were burned there belonging to A. T. Anderson. ‘The fires on account of the dryness of the moss andearth covering seem to rage almost as severely in the open country asin the forests, which it almost strips naked in places. “Other severe damage may be looked for unless rain comes soon. ‘The Omaba trains are all delayed in Duluth onaccount of the burning of 100 feet of the bridge over the Amnicoon river at Hawthorne. The Northern Pacific road from here to Ash- land suffered very severely. picts ast CARRIE BROWN’S MURDER, w. ‘James Jobn Burns, all Jw. ri Beginning the Inquest Into the Mysterious Tragedy of the East River Hotel. New Yorx, May 13.—Coroner Schultz today began the inquest on the body of Carrie Brown, the victim of “Jack the Ripper.” The three parlors of the coroner's office were crowded and the array of Water street habitues was something startling. The eight females who are held as witnesses were also present. Ameer Ben Ali or “Frenchy, No. 1,” was also there under guard. On the jury were ex-Charity Commissioner Brennan, L. J. Merkie (maister), Harry Miner of theatrical fame, G. Putney and Geo. Brockway, the hotel keep- ers; Richard M. Walters, the ‘piano manufac- turer: Jacob Ruppert, jr., the brewer, and F. Staughter, the clothier. The first witness waa Mary Corcoran, the housekeeper of the East River Hotel. Her tes- timony in regard to the occurrences of that night did not differ from that she had already ven. Police Captain Richard O'Connor of the Oak street station testified that he found drops of blood in the haliway leading from room $1, where the woman was murdered, to room 33, No. i, slept that night; ‘on the’ panel of the ; also near the handle of door. On the inside of the door there was @ small spot of blood. He also referred to the other blood spots found on the bed and in room 8%. He then identified the shirt that Frenchy, No. 1, had on when arrested. The blood marks on the shirt had been carefully cut out by the district attorney. Detective Crowley then testified regarding the condition of rooms 31 and 33, and the cuts on the body of the woman, the ‘of the knife in room 31, Sanne Net STOCKS FAIRLY ACTIVE AND STEADY.

Sax Dreao, Can, May 18—The cruiser Charleston was sighted far out to sea on Mon- day night by the steamer Crescent City, which CHASE OF THE arrived at Cedros Islands last night.

In the Criminal Court, Judge Bradley, portant centers of population within the United States when it becomes gen- erally known that Maj. W. J.

Los Axorxes, Cat, May 13.—The examina- tion of the partics concerned in the Robert and Minnie case has been set down for next Tues- day. Attorney Cole and Marshal Card had a long conference yesterday with U. 8. Solicitor General Taft. The sailors of the Robert and Minnie aro still in fail, no one having appeared to goon their bond.

New Yong, May 13.—The grand jury has found an indictment of murder in the first degree against Carlyle Harris. The victim in this case died suddenly in this city at the Comstock finishing school on the young medical student, Carlyle W. Harris, was the husband of ‘the dead girl: that a secret marriage had taken place in February, 1890; that a religions ceremony was to have view of these circumstances the mother, Mrs. George Potts, openly charged Harris with substituting for the pills first given a eaprule containing « iarge am@unt of opium and thereby deliberately bringing about the death of his young wife. a PORTUGAL’S DESPEKATE CONDITION. It is Virtually Driven Out of the Stock Mar- : kets of Europe. Loxpox, May 13.—The desperate financial situation of Portugal has been impending for many months. The Miguel bondholders, who have tried to discredit the Portuguese govern- ment by every means in their power, are re- joicing over the result of their work. Portugal is virtually driven out, for the present, of the great stock marketa of Europe, and her best securities are without an offer of purchase. It is said that King Charles has offered for the present to give up his income from national sources until such time as Portugal willbe better able to pay. As the queen is wealthy both by descent and bequest the king's offer, should it be accepted, would not involve him in poverty. ‘he government and the Bank of Portugal have together advanced $4,330,000 to the Banco Lusitano which realized a considerable sum in a deal in railroad stocks. Several tor of silver are expected in Lisbon today anda quantity is en route from the Azores. A member of the Portuguese legatio: in Paris said in an interview that the present crisis in his country was of a purely financial character. He declared that republicanism was losing ground in Portugal. Sean CENTREVILLE NOT EXCITED, Reports of Threatened Violence Were With- out Foundation, Cextenvizie, Mp., May 13.—Nearly every- body here denounces the lynching of Asbury Green, the ravisher, but at the same time there is no disguise on the part of many that they feel that the circumstances justified the crime, and these are not disposed to condemn the actors, however much they may deplore the act. There was not much foundation in fact for the sensational dispatches published away from Maryland about the condition of affairs here. Some negroes, just as did some whites, de- nounced the ‘lynching, but there were no gatherings of colored people resolved upon re- venge and making necessary the presence of a white patrol. ‘This will be made plain by these figures: Registered vote of Queen ‘Anne's county, 3,097; 1.744 blacks. Population of the town of Centreville, 1,200 whites and 200 blacks. With such a ratio of population @ race war would mean a race extermination. And it is impossible in Maryland, where whites and blacks live in neighborly kindliness. ‘There is no excitement today. The anthori- ties are exerting themselves to find out the persons engaged in the lynching. ——_—__ ‘Will Arbitrate the Chilian Troubles. Panis, May 18.—The Siecle today says that notwithstanding the rupture of negotiations between President Balmaceda and the Chilian congressional party, France and the United States and Brazil intend to fulfil the task of ar- bitrating the matters in dispute between the contending factions. The paper also says the task will be undertaken with evory prospect of success. ——__ Mr. Levy Crazed by His Failure. New York, May 13.—Four attachments ag- gregating $27,650, were granted today against Levy Bros. & Co., clothing manufacturers of 610-618 Broadway, whose failure has been an- nounced. It is understood that Mr. A. Levy of the firm has been made insane by his financial troubles. The liabilities are esti- mated at $75,000. ets No Bad Results Apprehended. The Russian legation here received a cable- gram this morning from St. Petersburg, which contains information to the effect that no bad résults are apprehended from the effect of the sabre cut received by the czarewitch yester- jay. A Curt Reply to Corte, The New Orleans grand jury has replied as follows to Consul Corte’s recent note to that body: “To Signor Corte, consul of Italy: Sir: Your communication of the 6th instant has been placed before the grand jury. We find its tenor not consistent with the official dighity of this body. The grand jury is, therefore, con- strained to return the document without furs and 17, 6q. 1085; $—. G.T.

Walter J. Sendall, governor of the colony of Barbadoes, has addressed the following letter concerning reciprocity with the United States to Lord Knutsford, secretary of state for the colonies in London: “My Lord—With reference to the provisions contained in section three of the act of the United States entitled ‘Agactto reduce the revenue and equalize the duties on imports’ I have the honor to address your lordship with a view of ascertaining, if possible, what modifi- cations or reductions would have tobe made in the tariff of import duties now in force in this colony in order to protect its exports of sugar from being brought under the penal provisions of the section. “2. All sugar produced in this colony is of the standard and quality scribed by section 2, paragraph 726, and will therefore be admitted in the United States free of duty, subject, after the Ist of January, 1892, to the provisions of section 3._ Moreover 95 per cent of the entire produce of Barbadoes finds a market at present in the United States. . 1 articles imported into the nited States are flour, meal, .

It is therefore matter of vital import- ance that this colong should, if possible, re- e timely information ‘upon the point whether any of the existing import duties, which are imposed exclusively for the purpose of raising revenue, would by the President of the United States as being ‘recip- rocaily unequal and unreasonable,’ in view of the free introduction into the United States of sugar produced in Barbadoes. “5. I inclose six ies of the customs tariff now in force, and would venture to sug- t, if such a course is not t the matter be referred ister at Washington, with the procuring such information as to the views and intentions of tbe executive of the United States as may serve to guide the government of this colony in any proposals which it may be neces- sary to submit to the legislature. “%. I would also inquire whether the recog- nition of the ‘British embassy at Washington could be extended to a representation of this colony, in the event of its being found ex- pedient that some one should be deputed to confer on behalf of the colony with the finan- cial officers of the United States government.” or Tennis Tournament Entries. ‘The entries in the tennis tournament of the High School, which begun yesterday in the grounds about the school building, are as i I | | { 5 i ; fr § FE f | H H i § § uf Bree i a i sl HELD FOR THE GKAND JURY.

L. Crounse, the World correspon- dent, and his counsel, Mr. Andrew Lipscomb, ‘Went to the Police Court at 1 o'clock today to ‘answer the charge of criminal libel brought against Mr. Crounse by Dr. William A. Ham- mond. Dr. Hammond was also on hand, accompanied by Mr. Samuel Maddox,his counsel. The case, which is one for the grand jury, came before Judge Miller as a consulting judge. Mr. Armes, the assistant district attorney, appeared as prosecutor. The case was not taken up until 1:30 o'clock. Mr. Armes stated that he understood the Teading of the warrant was waived. “It is very necessary to read it,” said the Judge. “Lhaven't read it, I would like to know whether it is libellous or not.” Clerk Potts took the warrant, aud leaning against the Judge's desk, read from the war- rant the Washington dispatch to the Word on which the libel prosecution is based. Mr.Potts | had some difficulty with some of the technical | words used, but finally got through the ac- | count given by the World of an alleged oper- | ation performed by Dr. Hammond of removing a “sebaceous wen™ from the head of Mrs. Stan- ford, for which service, it was stated by the World, Dr. Hammond received a fee of $3,000. Dr. Hammond was the first witness and he | ‘was examined by Mr. Armes. DR. HAMMOND TESTIFIES, Dr. Hammond testified that he wasa phy cian and conducting a sanitarium. He was, he said, surgeon general of the army on the re- tired list. He said he saw the article in ques- | tion in the World of the 22d instant and tle- | phoned to the World bureau stating that the was wholly false, and asking that the | statement be retracted. He was answered by whoever was at the tele- phone thatan immediate retraction would be | made. The witness said no retraction ap- peared the following day. Subsequently the | witness telephoned again to the World bureau and was told Mr. Crounse was not then in, but | when he came in he would attend to the mat- | ter. Dr. Hammond ssid he put the matter in the hands of Mr. Maddox, his attorney. Mr. Crounse came to see witness aturday night, April 25, and said the story had been told him several days before: that he had made due inquiry and had satisfied himself that it was true. ing ascertained then that it wes not true he suid he would publish denial. The witness said that he would require that the re- traction be published on the same page and be asconspicuous as the original and that Mr. Crounse should disclose to him the name of his informant. | To the first ‘condition witness was positive | Mr. Crounse agreed; to the second, as to di- | vulging the name of his informant, he said | Mr. Crounse said he would consider the mat-| ter. On the following day the Worid published | denial as coming from the witness. He said | it was on the third page and incouspicuous. He on the next day received « letter from Mr. Crounse inclosing the clipping from the World and stating that it had been telegraphed too late to get on the first page. CROBS-EXAMINED BY ME. LIPSCOMR. On cross-examination by Mr. Lipscomb Dr. Hammond said he bad not seen a publication of a denial by him in the World of the 2tth in- stant.

Dr. Hammond also produced a paper of that date which did not contain the deni: Judge Miller remarked that he understood it was a habit of papers in New York to have #ev- eral editors.
