It is impessible at present to estimate the loss. The stores burned were: Monroe Bros, dry goods; Governor Winans, dry goods, clothing, etc.; K. C. McDaniels, saloon; Bremer & Heicox, puolishers of the Living ston Herald, aud Hickey & Goodnow’s hard- ware. An explosion occurred in tne latter store before the tire reacted it, demolishing the building and burying D. G. Hickey, the senior member of the firm, and Darwio Wiues, a promineut builder, in the ruins. Their bodies were recovered at a late hour tonight. Many others were more or less soriously burt, awong whom was Mayor Hickey. Oliver Cook 18 badly hurt. A. M.

When the train arrived it was held up after tha regulation manner. i Tu the pursuit of the robbers which followed Outlaw Ed Bryaut was captured at Enid by Denuty United States Marshal Ed Short, Known throughout the entire territory as a brave officer, Short placed Lis captive in a baggeage car of a Santa Fo train to take him to Guthrie. He had disarmed him, placing his brace of revolvers on a convenient trunk, ana had placed the desperado in irons. When the train reached Adair Snort disembarked to send a telegraphic mossage. When he re- entored the car Bryant had securcd one of | his weapons aod holding it in his manacled hands, fired. mortally wounding Short. The officer, however, had strength enough to seize his Wincnester and pumpod four bullets | into Bryant's body, expiring as he pulled the trigeor the last time, There wera no fatalitios attending the Red Rock robbory, but the Adair robbory re- sulted in the doaths of two men, The ex- nress car was gusrded on that oceasion and a hot fight tsok place between the guards and the roboers. The place where the train was beld up was in tho midst of the town. One stray bullet passed into the room ot a ph u and striking the physician i the head, him instantiv. Another physician, who heard the firing, had ran in its divection, was also shot and killed. Tho last train robbery by the gang was that of the'Frisco, near Vinita. Larned Their Attention to Banks. _'HI" amounts secured by the robbers in their vavious raids will provably never be known. It was vory great, however, and Yius been estimated at #00,000. Afier the 'Frisco rovbery the Dalions seem 1o have diverted their attention o the robbery of banks. They rode into Kl Reno one dny and attacked the only bank in town. The only' person in the bank av the time was the wifo of the president, who fainted at the fivst sight of tue ugly revolvers. The ban dits leisurely took all the money in sight and remonnting their horses rode away. This raid netted them 10,000, which was such a sovero loss to the bank that it was forced into liquidation. Today’s was the next and last ruid of the gang, and with it ended the existence of a vana equalled only in the desperate character of its undertakings by the James and Youner bands. Emmett Dalton Still Emmett Dalton is not dead dying in a death is oxpe Alive, He is slowly room at tho hote! here, and his d at any moment, The in- diguation ugainst the robbers became so intense this afternoon that the citizens wanted to lynch the dying bandit. To pr veut this the coroner gave out the statement that he was alveady dead. That allayed the excitoment, and now the people will wait for leath to do the work thiat they had pianned should be done by lynch law. Allie Ogee Still at Large, Up to 10 o'clock tonight Allie Ogee had nov been captured, at least it is not known that he had been. The pursding party are still out, and it is believec they are stiil follow ing the bandit's trail. Ogee had such short start that it is not believed he will be able to oscape. He, howover, is well acquainted with the wild country south of here and Indian Territory whore the ban- dits had their headquarters. 1t may be thut he cau thus elude the pursuers. - The capture of Ogee is particulurly de- sirable because he, being the ouly surviving member of the eang, Is believed to ve the only person who knows the hiding place of the great treasure which they have accumu- latea during the years of their outlawry. ‘I'hey could not have spent all their iil-gotten mouey, even it they had lived among the luxuries of civilization. As it was they were hiding during the greater part of thelr criminal career, and have had no opportunity tospend money. The location of the treasure 1s therefore a matter of great interest, and it is bolieved Ogce can be made to reveal it, if heis caught, This phase of the case has on just now prosented itself to the people hero and it doubtless has not ‘o¢curred to Ogee's pursuers at all. 1t is feared that in_their excitement and iodignation thev will take summary vengeance upon him before ascer- tamning from him where the treasuer is bidden. Taunted Tuto Attempting the Robbery. Emmett Dalton is being closely guarded by a company of citizens tonight under com- mand of a deputy city marshal. Only the newspaper correspondents are admitted to him, The Associated press renresentative saw him at 11 o'clock last night, and pro- cured from him a statement of his life, par- ticular attention being paid to the last two years of it. He confessed that the gang was responsible for the Red Rock, Wharton and other traia robberies in the territory, which haa been credited to them. The story of a hidden treasure, ho said, was nonsense. “If there had been a treasure,” he said, *‘we would all have been alive today. It was because we were all broke that we planned the Coffevvilie raid. We were being hurd pressed by the officers down in the territory and Bob decided that we would have to get ‘out of the country. **He planned the robbery about two weeks ago while wa were camped in tho Osage country. He said he would out-do the James boys’ exploits and would go to Coffeyville and raid both banks at the same time. We tried to persuade him not to do it, and then he called us cowards. That settled it. We started for the scene of the raid. We all met Monday might at Tulsa and proceeded by easy stages to Timber Hill, twelve miles south of here, where we stopped last night. We started for Coffevville at (:30 this morn- ing and arrived bere about 9:30. You know the rest.” Cann 0ssibly Survive, It was with great difficulty that the bandit told his story, ns he was suffering terrible agony from the wound in his side. Toe physician attending him says he cannot pos ibly survive, Cashiee Avres, who 1s suffering from a wound in the groin, 1s resting easier tonight, bat his conditioa is still critical. At 11 o'clock notning has been heard of the party in pursuit of Allie Qgee, Rewards for the capture of the Daltons, or the aelivery of their bodies to officers of tho law, are standing to the amount of #12 000 offered by the Southern Pacific, the Mis- souri Pacific, the 'F'risco, the Missouri, Kau- sas & Texas and the Santa Fe.

Taking the vivid farco of the dramatist’s episode and the intensity and me- lodious chiarm of the score, in conncection with the condition of tnings n Mascagui's land—a condition of things, we are told, thor oughly uuderstood by but few Americans and not by all lwlians—the excite ment that has prevailed for mouth over a performance lusting but seventy minutes is ecasily explaned.

But the wounaerful virility of tho composition 18 best shown in the or- chestration concerning which the great musi- cal waiters of the world have gonein raptures and they see the boginning of a career which is'destinea to rank alougside that of Verdi's. ‘Lhe newcomer is most clearly modern iu a careful avoidance of undramutic measures such as one meots at every Lurn iu Verdi's first achievements and also in his occasional vocal progressious aud in frequent changes of tempo, S0 much for the man The story of “‘Cava ken froma book of tales by Verga, Oue Turridu, a Sicilian peasant, has seduced Santuzzi and custs her off for Lola, wife of Alfio, On Baster day Santuzza becomc convinced of Turridi’s perfidy and taxes him with it.

Sternsdorit for temporary secretary, and for the first time in his life the Sixth ward statesman refused the nonor. Ed P.

The First ward’s selection of Charles Brandes was raui- fied, ana the convention hall resounded with cheers when the Second ward delegation presented the name of Peter £, Elsasser. But it wasn’t so upanimous when it came to the Third. Ed Kothery presented the name of Andy McAndrews, and Patrick Ford named kis next best friend, Ricnard Burdish. Rothery told the convention how M- Andrews had mopped the turf in the Toird at the primarios with Mr. Burdish. Ihen Mr. Fora related how the primaries had bees manipulated so that more than 100 Burdish voters haa_been frozen out at the polls on the day of the primury clection through the machinations—only that isn’t tho word Ford used—of the McAndrews combina He recounted the bistory of the Third ana remitdea the convention that the ward always bad a democratic majority on election day.

COLONEL SHEPARD'S SCHEME, First Ballot, How e Would Arrange for Working e Visitlng the Fair, Cuieaco, 1L, Oct. 5.—Colonel Ethott 17, Shepard of the New York Mail and Express called on the city officers this afternoon to introduce a pian by whien he hopes to bring 750,000 workingmen to Chicago every Wednesday during the World’s fair. Tne colonel has figured out that a space two and a half miles long aud 1,500 feet wide would be required to handle the cars and care for 1he visitors, Colonel Shepard’s plan, as briefly outlined | to the city ofticers, contewplates making Wednesday of each week laboringman’s day. Ho hopes toinauce the rafiroad companies Lo makoe a flat rate of $1 for the return trip to all points within 1,500 mites of Chicago. The trains could leave from the farthest poluv Monday, reack Chicago Wednesday, giving the visitors that day in the fair and the next in the city, and veturning Friday morning land the passengers home again Saturday. An attempt will be made to feed the visitors enronte on army ratvions, three meals a day for 25 cents, Mr. Shepard was greatly encouraged by the cordial reception given his scheme by the city oficors. He says the railroad companies aré favorable to the plan and he hopes to see it reduced to & practival working busis. pt SILVER ON THE DECLINE Poo- | | | Despite the Fact That Few Offorings Are Made it Steadily Loses Value, New Yok, Oct. 5.—The bankers and flnauciers of this city are in the ratner pecu- liar position of belng unable to offer a theory which will account for a condition of one of the great markets of the financial world, They declare it is an enigma that, while the offerings of silver have decreased, the price has declined, Offerings to the United States weasury have steadily @rown less and the price has gone down to .8464, instead of in- | creasing, according to the old law of econom ios that the less the supply the greater the prico. Subtreasurer of the United States Ellis Roberts said: “I'he bullion market is a mystery to every- body. Everybody I have talked with has a theory satisfactory to himself, but it be- comes & greater mystery in the fact that the receipts are light and that some of the mines aro stopping. Perhaps somo reasons are that the country wiil not continue to buy s of 1800 may be repealed. Tuat would count for the less price, but it doos not ex plain the failure 10 offer more to the govern ment." A prominent bank offleial said : n of this stute of thine influx of silver from York concorns nave smeltors which con of silver a vear. | don’t believe there is any holding of silver for any purpose. Amouut coming into the country is not, how ever, enormous.’ H. B. Hollins & Ce., who are largely in- terested in the silver market, say: people who thought they new all about silver knew notning, apparently. We can- not account for the present conrse of tho market. Heory Clows holds the most deeided opin- 100 on the suoject, Hesaid: “lsupposo the reason of that, sinee the exports of sil ver bave for a long time past ageregated only a smail amour, the only customer for itis the United Statos, and its purchnse, to- #ethor with what 1s needed in tho wrts, ab- sorbs the American product. The price on the Stock exchange should bave advanced as the visible supply decreased, as indicated by the quantity reyisiered, but that it has not is nn evidence that the visible supply is not all the silver on the markot.” - IND CHILL can'r “The roa Two built Moxico.
