During the Burning of an Elevator a Terrific Explosion Occurred, With Fatal Results. CHICAGO, August 6.—Five lives were lost in an explosion whick took place last evening during a fire in the Northwestern grain elevator, at Cook and West Water streets. All of the dead are firemen—the body of another fireman is thought to be buried in the ruins of the elevator—and one man was blown into the Chicago river. From the force with which the explosion Swept the spot on which he was standing it is certain he must have been instantly killed. Either the bursting of a boiler or the explosion of mill dust caused the awful havoc. The three firemen who were killed by the falling walls of the elevator were: Jacob J. Schnur. John J. Coogan. Jacob S. Stramer. In all fifty-one firemen were injured. Thcse most seriously hurt are: Charles H. Conway, fireman, burned about face and hands, and body crushed; may die. Chief Dennis Swenie, right foot crushed, left arm wrenched and painfully burned. Fire Marshal Campion, burned about face. Lieut. Smith, both legs crushed. Lieut. W. H. Bartlett, leg crushed. Assistant Engineer Benjamin Blanchard, badly bruised. Johr: F. Smith, injured by debris. William McGuire, fifteen years old, both feet crushed. Thomas Engle, pipeman, cut about hands and internally injured. Ignatius Bond, cut by falling glass. Captain John J. Evans, struck by debris and rendered unconscious; seriously injured. William Hanley, pipeman, cut in head. William Thompson, hit by falling glass. C. F. Walter, knocked down by explosion and injured about the spine. John Hentz, struck by falling beam and skull fractured. James McGuire, leg fractured. Joseph Lacy, badly burned about face; case serious. Frank C. Halley, face burned beyond recognition; may lose sight of both eyes. Captain Martin Lacey, burned about the ee and body; wounds on face and fore- ead. Lieutenant John J. Miller, compound frac- ture of leg; badly burned; condition critical. Captain William Rooney, badly burned about face; may lose sight of both eyes; condition serious. John Evans, fracture of right arm; badly burned abvut the face; ccndition critical. Harry Kugleman, contusions of side and badly burned about the face and body; con- dition serious. William Schubert, bruised and burned. John Hassey, left arm crushed at the shoulder. Lieutenant Smith, struck by flying debris. Lieutenant Frank Donagan, hurt by fall- ing bricks, injured internally; condition serfous, Captain John Evans, face, hands shoulders burned. Captain Falvey, legs, arms and shoulders badly burned. Lieutenant Frank Nigg, about face and arms. Besides these dozens of firemen and pass- ers-by were more or less cut and bruised by_glass and flying debris. Charles M. Conway died this morning from injuries received while at work at the Northwestern elevator fire last night. Con- Way was at work in the narrow areaway at the rear of the elevator when the ex- plesion occurred, and he was thrown with great force against a shed. He was ren- dered unconscicus, and before rescued from his position his body and limbs had been terribly burned. There is little doubt now that the man who was carried into the river by the stream of grain from the elevator at the time of the explosion was Thos. Monohan, the fireman who drove Chief Swenie to the fire. The chief says he is certain Mono- han was standing in the neighborhood at the time of the explosion. He has not ap- peared since. The body of Fireman Jacob Struckman has been found under the ruins. This makes five deaths as the result of the fire. and badly burned es BATES A MUCH MARRIED MAN. Chicago Bookkeeper Believed to Have Seven Wives Living. CHICAGO, Avgust 6—Another warrant charging bigamy has been served on David Ellworth Bates in a cell at the police sta- tion. It was sworn out by James L. Mc- Carthy, who said he was the father ot Mrs. Bates No. 3. The police say sates married at least seven women, all of whom are living. This makes the lean and sallow faced iittle vookkeeper a polygamist extra- ordinary. The following women have so far filed with the police their claims to Bates as husband: Mrs. Bates, formerly Miss Julia McCar- thy, married in Chicago three years ago; recogrized by the prisoner as his true wife, and dwelling at 6 West 61st street. Mrs. Bates, formerly Miss Nellie Swan, married February 25, 1897, in Chicago and residing at 6402 Bishop street. ‘Mrs. Bates, formerly Miss Nellie Howard of Kalamazoo, Mich., married in 1885 and divorced two years later. Mrs. Bates, formerly Miss Ida Calder- wood of Galena, Ill, who dwelt at 5401 Dearborn street, where she gave birth to a baby. Her home is not known to the police. Mrs. Bates, whose identity is a mystery, but is known to have dwelt at 43d and Wal- lace strects, where a child was born. A Wisconsin sheriff believes that Bates is really Austin O. Crovin, who is under indictment at Waupaca, Wis., for the ab- duction of pretty fifteen-year-old Olive Vos- burgh, some months ago. Her photograph was found in his coat. It is suggested by the police that this girl may have been the seventh wife. ‘ ———— PROTEST AGAINST THE DUTY. Large Packing Company Objects to the Tariff on Fish. DULUTH, Minn., August 6:—An issue in which a number of large fish companies are said to be interested has been raised here. A vigorous protest has been made by the A. Booth Packing Company against paylag a quarter cent duty on fish im- posed by the Dirgley bill. Collector Willcutts of this port today, levied on a cargo of fish on one of the Booth steamcrs. He takes the position that the fish levied on cannot be admitted free, as they were caught in Canadian waters by Canadian fishermen in the em- Ploy of the Booth compcny. The company, however, has filed @ pro- test in which it is atated tl American corporation, coi zens of the United States; ¢ the fish were caught by 1ets owned'by the com pany; that they were packed and trans- ferred by ft; that for this reason the fish should be admitted free under a provision of the Dingley bill which allows citizens of the United States to bring in fish free of duty which they catch in foreign fresh waters. The desision of Collector Willcutts will be appealed to the Secretary of the Treas- ury and if the company is decided against there, it ia.said it will be taken into court as a test case. ————___ MARRIED WHILE DRUGGED, Mrs. Lucy Boon Sets Up Sensational Plea for Divorce.

PRICE OF COAL RISING PITTSBURG, Pa, Augusj:6.—Eugene V. Debs, who addressed the large miners’ meeting on ‘he Duquesne wharf last night, left today for Turtle Creek, where he spezks this evening. Before leaving the city Mr. Debs denounced Judge Jackson of West Virginia for issuing the injunction restraining him from interfering in any way with ‘the Monongah Company or its employes. Mr. Debs said: “This injunction restrains me from walk- ing on any of the public highways leading to the mines of the Monongah Coal and Coke Company. It is most sweeping, and "tone other can be compared to jt. This in- junction annihilates the right of peaceable assemblage, and effectually suppresses free speech. If it is sustained, and I have no doubt it will be, it sweeps away all ccnsti- tutional safeguards, and delivers us, bound hand and foot, to. corporate capital. Contempt for the Judge. “I.-hold the injunction and the judge who issued it in supreme contempt. If I have occaston to raise my voice in behalf of the famishing miners in Jackson's jurisdiction, I propose to do so, ox at least make the at- tempt, totally regardless of this infamous injunction. “The farce of the proceeding is that the injunctior ts issued by a judge. It ought to come direct from the coal operators, and at least hypocrisy would not intensify the infamy of the proceeding.” In reference to the charge that the depu- ties now on guard at De Armitt’s mines were forcing the miners to work at the point of revolvers, President Dolan stated that the matter had been placed in the hands of their attorney, and it was prob- able that the miners’ officials would go into court and ask for an injunction re- straining these deputies. Said he: “They have no right to compel any man to go to work, and we will not stand it. I have in my pocket the names of many of the men who were treated in this man- ner, but prefer not to give them now, for fear the men will suffer. ‘Women as Agitators. The coal company discovered a new sort of missionary work among its employes today. Wives of many of the campers are in the field now. They have been arriving for several days, until now there are about twenty of them scattered about through the Plum, Sandy and Turtle Creek settle- ments. The women are from the McDon- ald, Carnegie-and Wheeling division sec- tions, and, while the miners are at work, do missionary, work among their wives. They have access to the workmen's houses, but the men are denied this. Deputies are stationed all along the property line with instructions not to allow a solitary man to pass into the house range. The campers claim that the effect of the female missionary work will be apparent in a day or so. Many of the Plum Creek men are expected to join the movement after pay day Mo:day. The strikers say they would be out now, but that they want to get as much money as possible ahead, so as to have something to fall back on. Condition at Plum Creek. Whether or not the strikers will be able to get the Plum Creek men to stop the mine there is becoming a more serious question than the strike leaders at first thought. Unlike the other digging settlements, about all of the Plum Creek men live in com- pany houses, right about the pits and right on the company’s land. The workmen do not have to leave the DeArmitt property to get into the mines, and the strikers get no chance to stop them on the road. The deputies do not allow any one to get near the houses, and the workers and strikers are entirely without communication except by the women. It now seems the Plum Creek siege will be much longer and a much harder battle than at any of the other mines. Prices for coal moved up 10 cents a ton since yesterday, the assigned reason being that the prospects are that the area of the strike will expand and embrace the northern and central Pennsylvania dis- tricts. Coal ts being hoarded for possible future demands, when prices will be still higher. Ruling prices are $1.10 for run of mine in barges and cars, Pittsburg, and 5 and 6 cents a bushel for slack 1n the river. Watching for Imported Miners. The imported miners expected to reach De Armitt’s mines from Virginia this morning did not arrive. They are looked for, however, some time today or tomor- row. The strikers were on the watch for them all night, and were agreeably disappointed at their non-appearance. The marchers continue to make gains, as shown by the number of men at work in the De Armitt mines. At Sandy Creek only three men are at work. The camp is thinning out, and the men are going to the Plum Creek camp because their presen: is not needed at Sandy Creek. The outp: at Sandy Creek is only two pit cars, and the mine is absolutely dead. At Plum Creek eighty men who worked yesterday did not go into the mine this morning. ‘The offictals of the company, in explana- tion, say that it is the custom of the men to lay off the day before pay day, which is t.morrow. The output of the three mines is as follows: Plum Creek, twenty-nine cars, though the strikers say only twenty-one; Turtle Creek, one car lump, one car nut and one car slack; Sandy Creek, two pit cars. Riot in Railronders’ Camp. Plum Creek camp was excited last night by a riot in the railroaders’ camp adjoin- ing. A number of shots were fired, and three neSroes were wounded, but not see semmons has not yet rendered his decision in the riot and unlawful assem- blage cases against the miners’ officials. A decision is expected some time today. Bunola Miners Out. MONONGAHELA, Pa., August 6.—Be- tween 300 and 400 striking miners marched on the Bunola mine this morning, headed by the G. A.,R.

NEW YORK, August €—A cablegram Evidence Presented by the Witnesses Dates London Sold American Stocks andWall Street Bought. ANOTHER DAY OF BETTER PRICES The Defendant Story of Herself Tells Her Her Massage Treat- it to the Court. The Grangers, Industrials and New York Central Were Features. The case of Minnie DeForrest, charged with keeping a bawdy house at No. 1408 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, which was on trial at the time The Star’s report closed last evening, was resumed about noon to- day before Judge Mills. After calling Simon Lilschutz to the stand, and hearing his evidence to the effect that the reputa- tion of the DeForrest house was bad, Prose- cutor Mullowney ernounced the case closed as far as the offering of evidence for the government was concerned. Mr. Fulton, of counsel for the defense, made a motion that Judge Mills take the matter from the jury on the ground that the government had not made out its case. Mr. Fulton made a long argument in’ sup- pert of his contention, and as soon as he — Judge Mills overruled the mo- Counsellor Fulton noted an exception and gave notice of intention to appeal from the ruling. He then proceeded to make his opening statement. Frank Capito, was the first witness call- ed for the defense. He did not respond, and Mrs. Julia Young, who yesterday testi- fied for the prosecution, was placed on the stand. Short!y after the hearing of evidence for the defense was begun. District Commis- sioner Wight and Major of Police Moore entered the court room and took seats near Prosecutor Mullowney. Mrs. Young testified that Mrs. De For- rest's house was visited by some of the best. men in the city, including represen- tatives, senators and members of the cabi- net, and some of the most widely-known business men here. Mr. Mullowney: “No lawyers, I hope.” Mrs. Young: “Yes; some lawyers, too. Mabel Marlowe, an occupant of the De Forrest house, was unable to give any in- formation as to what transpired there pre- vious to the raid on July 6. Shortly after 1 o'clock the court took a recess, and upon reassembling at 2 p.m. Harry A. Eckloff was called to the stand. He testified that he was collector for an installment furniture house, and that he had been acquainted with Mrs. De Forrest in a business way for about two years. He had, he said, frequently called on the de- fendant, both at her present home and when she lived at 939 Pennsy!vania avenue, and had never seen any conduct that was out of the way. Mrs. De Forrest never at any time conducted herself in a way that would subject her to criticism. Benjamin Franklin Capito stated that his business was that of a livery stable keeper. Mrs. De Forrest boarded her horse with nim. He was acquainted by their first name with some of the girls, but did not know their surnames, He created con- siderable amuse-nent by referring 1o “iaudi2 Clarke, who is said to have been induced to leave the city so as not to ap- Pear as a witness in the case, as “skinny.” Judge Mills remarked that there was no necessity to talk about Claudie as she hai not been on the witness stand. Resuming his direct testimony, Capito said he had often been at the De Forrest house, but had never observed anything that was anything like wrongdoing. Wesley Redmond testified that he had been acquainted with the defendant for a couple of years, and had frequently visited her house. He had never seen any wrong- doing there. Mary De Sale, who is employed as a cook by Mrs. De Forrest, said she had been with the latter about two months. When she first went there there was no attendant to give massage except Miss Claudie. Mrs. De Forrest never had gentlemen and ladies to call there together. Dr. J. B.

YORK, August 6.—Foreign cables reflected considerable irregularity in the market for American securities and brought some selling orders to this side. The local demand was again more than equal to the emergency, and opening prices were, in a majority of instances, slightly better than those recorded at the close of yesterday’s business. Arbitrage houses had little difficulty in buying abroad and selling at the improved prices prevailing locally. The undertone of the market continues exceptionally strong, and new buying ‘s assured at a fractional decline from the present level. Earnings from all sources continue to re- flect the improvement incident to a busi- ness revival. Investments are being sought on all sides, and manipulation is no longer offered as a substitute for merit. Logical reasons for an increased business and 2 satisfactory dividend record are inviting active participation in the present market. The upward movement is. likely to hat frem time to time, but there is almost no Likelihood of its failure to establish an entirely new range of pziccs. The strong-box holdings are now larger than ever, and there is no disposition to reduce such holdings. Money is lending at 2 per cent and under, and the market is filled with deserving sccurities which net the holder more thar double that sum. With the future reasonably certain, and idle money abundant, it is only a question of time before securities are marked up to premiums consistent with interest rates. The Granger shares were again in good demand by commission houses, as the re- sult of favorable crop intelligence. The buying of Burlington and St. Paul was especially confident, the former being re- lied upon to show 6 per cent earned during the remainder of the season. New York Central was again in good demand because of its prospects for as- sisting In the seaboard grain movement. The Gould shares were somewhat more active and at higher prices. Manhattan was easily advanced, the new buying and short covering being about equally divided. The coal shares were kept within frac- tional limits, but were frequently supported by insige interests. In the industrial group Sugar, Tobacco and Leather were the features. The ad- varce in the latter was the result of ‘the sudden discovery that its rise was not pro- portionate to that of its neighbors. Laciede Gas and Consolidated Gas were in some- what better demand, but the latter failed to recover fully from yesterday's extensive realizing. The volun.e of business was again on a liberal scale, but the advances recorded were curtailed because of the influence of he usual evening up process. Unless con- certed action is taken and weakly mar- gined accounts are systematically attacked, there would seem to be no occasion for an- ticipating significantly lower prices. Even should a decline be forced, the rebound would be sudden and complete. Posted rates for steriing were reduced 12 cent during ‘the day, and the outward movement, of course, is not likely to as- sume alarming proportions. The contracts fcr our agricultural products must shortly find reflection in gold imports. A steady incoming of gold would stimulate the entire firancial situation, and force an indefinite continuation of the present ‘advance. The net result of the day’s trading again demonstrated the futility of artificial re- actionary tactics.

Judge McComas will this afternoon sign a warrant authorizing the removal of Otis Walker from this city to Louisville, Ky., to be turned over to tke police authorities there. Walker was indicted in Louisville in June, 1896, for obtaining money from poor people by claiming to be an official of the pension bureau, who could immediately secure the adjudication of their pension claims. He crgaged in the same deception elsewhere. Walker fled from Louisville before the in- aictment was reported.

They were married, according to the petition, at St. Dominic’s Church, Bctober 16, 1879, had three children, They lived together, says the wife, until December 25, 1896, when in a fit of rage her husband left the house. Since that time she has been dependent on her mother for support. During the whole of her married life, Mrs. Tucker continues, her husband failed to provide her children and herself with the necessaries of life, and curing all that time she has been obliged to depend upon her mother for the means of supporting her family. Commencing a few weeks after their marriage. adds the wife. her husband has been guilty of cruel treatment toward her to sue an extent that her nervous system has become deranged, her health shattered and her life endangered. Mrs. Tucker recites a number of in- stances of her husband choking and beat- ing her brutally, both in this city and Hyattsville. On numerous occasions, she adds, her husband would destroy the household fur- niture, throw Ighted lamps around the room and abuse her with the use of the most vile and profane larguage.
