IN TERRIBLE AGONY TWO SISTERS MEET DEATH FROM AN OIL STOVE EXPLOSION. Mrs. Charles W. Miss Py xyaia woettcher the Victims—Mrs. Kichorn Throws Her Children Out of the Window and Tries to Save Her Invalid Sister, Receiv- Cause Her Eichorn and ing Injuries Which Death—Burned to a Crisp. St. Paul, May 4.—Mrs. Charles W. chorn and Miss Lydia Boettcher, sisters, were burned to death in the home of Mrs. Eichorn in St. Paul Vark. The fire was caused by the ex- plosion of an oil stove. M was preparing lunch, while her sister sat in a wheel chair near by. ‘Two of her children were playing in an adjoining room. Without a sec- ond’s warning there was a terrific ex- plosion and blazing fluid spread over the entire kitchen, wrapping every- thing in flomes. Miss Boettcher was overcome by the nervous shock, and Eichorn’s first thought was to save her children. With her clothing on fire she rushed to the next room and seized her two children, throwing them out of the window. ‘Then she heroically dashed back into the kitch- en, and, surrounded by a ma of surging flames, endeavored to save her sister. She was ‘overcome by the flames and staggered to the open door. Half-crazed with fright and pain she ran into the street and to the Pinney a block away, calling loudly This was the nearest house horn home. A young man mamed Link, who w: plowing about forty. rods away, heard her cries, and, seeing her like a pillar of fire, ran to I He tried ineffectually residence, her first consideration was the rescue of her sister. By this time Mrs, chorn’s clothing had all burned away except her shoes, which had begun to burn. The flesh was burned cruelly from head to foot. Large patches were shriveled and black. One hand was al- most entirely gone and portions of flesh were barely hanging to the body. Still she lived several hours. Meantime her sister had met her ap- palling fate. Mr. Link acted promptly on the instructions of the burning wo- man and dashed into the house to save the invalid sister. But he had come too late. He found the entire kitchen ablaze and all the back rooms crackling, sizzling, falling to pieces. The only possible entrance was by the front door, through which he had en- tered. He could not get near the kitchen. The flames were. spreading over the entire structure. His search was swift, but futile. In sight of ago- mized relatives the invalid was burned toacrisp. After the fire all that was left of Miss Boettcher was a charred skull and shoulder blades. ‘he chil- dren were all saved without serious in- jury. The residence was completely consumed.

WORK OF CONGRESS. Condensed Proceedings of the Na- tonal Law Mill. Washington, April 30,—The question of whether business was to be done by the senate this week was raised by Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota when the senate met. Mr. Pettigrew proposed that the senate direct a conference on the Indian appropriation bill. Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire, however, gave notice that he, would object to any business being done because there was a general understanding that none should’ be taken up during the ab- sence of many senators in New York to attend the ceremonies of dedicating the Grant monument. Other senators protested that there had been no such agreement made. Then Mr..Quay pre- sented a resolution calling upon the secretary of the interior for informa- tion as to whether the leases of the Senecas’ oil lands had been made in the usual manner and whether there had been any corruption, It was agreed to without debate. During the presentation of memorials Mr. Spoon- er offered one “from several thousand men working for wages in the lum- ber districts of Wisconsin,” asking for the enactment of the lumber schedule of the Dingley bill. The senate was quite deluged with resolutions. Mr. Vest of Missouri offered a resolution for a comprehensive inquiry by the commerce committee of the senate into the ses of and remedies for the Mississippi floods, and said he would call it up at the next meeting of the senate. Mr, Pettigrew followed with a resolution calling on the comm of labor for information as to the cost of producing 1,000 feet—board measure —of white pine lumber, the answer to include the cost of work in the woods and in the mill, both in the United States and Canada. This was adopted with the addition of a question pro- posed by Mr. Frye of Maine concern- ing the cost of stumpage. A resolu- tion was offered by Mr. Morgan of Ala- bama, and adopted, requesting the president, if not incompatible with the public inter , to transmit to the sen- ate all correspondence with the con- sul general and consuls in Cuba since the beginning of the war, not hereto- fore published. Then, at 12:32, the senate adjourned until Monda The house was in session seven min- utes. The journal was not read. ‘he objection that there was no quorum was: interposed by Mr. Simpson of Kansas, whereupon Mr. Payne of New York made a motion to adjourn. J. W. Stone of Pennsylvania, who was in the chair, held that an adjournment under the order of the house made last Fri- day would be until Monday next. Mr. Simpson protested vainly that it was unconstitutional to adjourn for more than one day without a quorum and asked an opportunity to be heard. But the “regular order” was loudly demanded and Mr. Payne’s motion was put and carried—74 to 14, most of the Democrats voting with the Republic- ans. Washington, May 4.—“The issue was made,” as Speaker Reed put it in the house, on the speaker's policy of post- poning the appointment of committees. Mr. Simpson of Kansas, brought it on by another attack upon the speaker, which moved Mr. Reed to challenge him to propose a resolution instructing the speaker to appoint the committees. ‘The Kansan evaded this challenge, but Mr. Lewis, a new Demo tie member from Washington, took » the gaunt- let which the speaker had thrown down, and moved the adoption of a resolution of the tenor suggested by Mr. Reed. Then Mr. Fleming of Georgia offered a substitute embody- ing the instructions in different terms, and Mr. Dingley, the Republican lead- er, to make the issue plain, as he said, presented another substitute directing the speaker to appoint the committees “immediately.” When the vote was taken on the proposition the speaker was sustained by practically the solid vote of his party, assisted by 33 Dem- ocrats under the leadership of Mr, Bailey. The resolution was defeated— 124 to 52; present, 13. For the first time this session the factions in the Democratic ranks were forced to put themselves on record, and 32 Demo- erats, with all of the Populists, sup- ported Mr. Lewis. Mr. Low of New York was the only Republican to put himself on record in support of the res- olution, while 8 Democrats and 5 Re- publicans answered present. Mr. Bailey denounced in strong terms the spectacle which the Democrats were presenting by their dissentions. Messrs. Cochran of Missouri and Wheeler of Alabama, of the Democrats, spoke for the resolutions, while Mr. Dingley voiced the Republican policy. A sen- ate resolution appropriating $50,000 for the congress of the Universal Pos- tal union was adopted and Mr. Sho- walter, the Republican chosen at a spe- cial election to represent the Twenty- fifth Pennsylvania district, was sworn in. IN THE SENATE. Senator Tillman of South Carolina vas heard from briefly and pointedly the senate after a silence of many weeks, and as usual his remarks served to arouse a lively controversy. 1t occurred during the consideration of the free homestead bill. Mr. Morgan proposed an amendment giving all public lands unoccupied by 1900 to the several states ‘nd _ territories. Mr. Hawley declared this to be a startling proposition, and Mr. Tillman sought to oppose it by a series of questions ad- dressed to Mr. Morgan. Some of the questions referred to the amendment as a proposition to “gobble” and “steal” the interest of state in public Jands. Mr. Morgan in turn made sharp and sareastic rejoinders, and for a time senators and spectators were in- terested in the animated cross-fire. After Mr. Morgan had_ protested against the interruption as a breach of the privileges of the senate the inci- dent was closed by a statement from Mr. Tillman ‘disclaiming any purpose of being discourteous to the Alabama senator. The Morgan amendment was withdrawn and an agreement reached for a final vote on the free homested bill to-morrow. Early in the day Mr. Morgan endeavored to secure a vote on the Cuban resolution. It went over, however, at the request of Mr. Hale of Maine in order that speeches in oppo- sition might be made. Earthquake in Virginia.

The people of Teunessee send gre 4 and request that you now put in mo- toin the machinery of the Tennessee Centennial exposition.” In a few minutes the roar of artil- lery was heard echoing and re-echoing through the building’ and over the grounds. President McKinley had pressed the button, the exposition was opened and. the machinery started. About 30,000 people inspected the vari- ous attractions. DISASTER IS FEARED.

Hudson, Wis., May 4.—Last season three judgments were entered against Carl Gilbertson for trespassing upon the trout preserves of the Willow Riv- er club, most of whose members are prominent capitalists of St. Paul. Gil- bertson, by an action in tort, has been arrested and sent to jail in default of the first judgment. ‘The club enforced the decree because Gilbertson had caused the club much annoyance this spring. There is still a great deal of trespassing upon Willow river and much litigation is threatened. NEARLY SIX MILLION, Was the April Decrease in the Vol- ume of a Public Debt.
