ESTABLISHED WAR RUMORS JU CHINA-JAPAY Reported Captore of Three Men-of-War Discredited at Shanghai, SEVERAL COLLISIONS IN THAT CITY Japanese Associat'on Warns Residents of that Natlonality that They Must Use Every Effort to Avold Trouble at Prosent. SHANGHAI, Aug. 5.—The rumor to the effect that the Japanese fleet had captured three men-of-war has not been confirmed It is belleved here that the report Is possibly a rehash of the reports of the prior engage ments of the flects. As yet there has been no disorder in this city growing out of. the beyond a few trifiing encounters be- tween Japanese and Chinese rowdles. The municipal council has appointed a rendez- vous for the volunteers in the event of an emergency arfsing that will require their services, but no anxiety is felt as to the safe- ty of Europeans. The Japanese assoclation, which ificiudes among its members the le ing Japanese of Shanghai and vielnity, tssued a warning to Japanese residents that they must behave themselves and avoid any act that would tend to precipitate a conflict with the Chinese. They are particularly warned to keep away from the Chinese quarter of the city after dark and to remain as far as possible within their home. war TWO STORIFS FROM BLUEFIELDS, One Says a Settlement is Probable and Another that Trouble is 13 NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 6.—The As: press correspondent at Bluefiells wri July 20 that the outlook for an settlement s very promising. Both English and American naval commanders have written to General Cabezas at Rama protesting against an attack upon an un- fortified town and announcing their intention to protect forelgn interests. The situation 18 still further simplfied by Chief Clar- enca’s disavowal of the recent revolution, stating it was the work of his people and that he only consented to govern as there wes no regular government on hand and it was absolutely necessary to preserve the peace. While this claim is not burne out, it has had the effect of withdrawing even the moral support of the Americans. Clarenc also disclaims that he is having any ar sent to him from any quarter. President Zelaya lias appointed Augustine Duarte, formerly minister of war, and one of the ablest dipl.mats in the country, as commissioner to the reserve, and great faith 18 had in his power to adjust all differences now existing The Amer.can colony fecls more hopeful than it has in many days. COLON, Aug. According to advices received here, affairs in Blueficlds hay taken a serious turn, A British officer who arrived at Port Limon yesterday cabled to the admiralty in London that the entrance to the port of Biuefields had been seized by 300 trcops, under command of the president of Nicaragua.

ARCHANGEL, Russia, Aug. 05.—The steamer Windward, having on board the Jackson North Polar expedition, sailed hence this afternoon for Harbourova or Jugoraska Schar, as circumstances shall determine. The expedition procured here additional stores, furs and a number of Russian ponies. At Harbourova and Jugoarska Schar a few more will be added to the crew, and the steamer will then proceed direct to the shore of Franz Josef land. The place of the land- ing of the expedition in Franz Josef land can only be determined when the ice conditions are known. All the members of the party are in good health and spirits, and are con- fident of success in their undertaking. The departure of the expedition was made the scene of a remarkable display of enthusiasm. The city was everywhere decorated with flags. The government and city officials and other notables went on board the Wind- ward, and went with her for some distance down the harbor. When they left the steamer many and hearty were the good wishes they gave the voyagers, who responded with cheers. COPENHAGEN, Aug. 6.—A member of the Wellman expedition telegraphs from Tromsoe that the Ragnvald Jarl, the steamship which conveyed the explorers to the edge of the fce pack, was crushed in the ice on May 24 in latitude 80.37 and longitude 19.57. Cap- taln Bottoltson, Winship, Heysdamel, West- feldt and Hovde undertook a journey over the fce, taking with them aluminium boats, in the hopes of finding a sealing ship to convey them to Norway. They met the sealer Maly- gen, Captain Pederson, July 24, at Rodeborg, after traveling 230 miles over the incurring countless risks and endle ing. Captain Bottolfson is mow fit'ing out a ship to go to the assistance of Wellman and his companions, who, on June 17, were six miles east of Cape Peletan.

MANCHESTER, Aug. 5.—During the past week a fair aggregate of business was done. The greater part of the transactions were effected carly in the week, when the decline in cotton enabled the execution of a number of Indfan orders. After that the market became very dull.

An- other important act was that to enable the people of Utah to form a constitution and state government and to be admitted into the union on an equal footing with the orig- inal states, and providing the machinery by which the territory will be admitted, probably in December, 1895, The act making the first Monday in Sep- tember a legal holiday, to be called Labor day. Three bills were passed to give effect to the award of the tribunal of arbitration at Parls which adjudicated the seal fisheries disputes. Several measures were enacted in accord- ance with the recommendations of the Dock- ery commission (so-called) for improving and amplifying the methods of doing the gov- crnment business, Most important were those changing the method of auditing ac- counts in the Treasury department, improv- ing the methods of accounting in the Post- ofiice department, and changing the money order system and that regulating the mak- ing of property returns by the officials of- the government. The naval bill empowered the president to fill vacdncies in the grade of ensign or as- sistant engineer by selecting from the grad- uating class of the naval academy where the vacancies exceed the number of cadets in the lne division or engineer division, Also that a vacancy in the naval school from a district which the secretary of the navy is called upon to fill must be filled by the ap- pointment of a resident of that district of two years' standing. WHERE NEBRASKA COMES IN. Three of the appropraticn bills have not yet gone to the president—the river and har- bor, the general deficiency snd sundry civil. Incidental to the sundry civil is a provision granting 1,000,000 acres of the surveyed arid public lands fo each of the states to which the desert law is applicable—Nebraska, Kan- sas and the territories of Arzona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Utah, to be selected within "ten years. Five deficiency bills haye been necessary this season. ‘The principal items in the first cne was $127,500 for the pay of assist- ant janitors and’ custodizns under the Treas- ury “department and $20,000 for mileage of members, the regular mileage appropriation for the first session having been used during the special session. The second bill included $745,000 for the Treasury department, $300,000 of it for the customs service, $200,000 for tne pension service, $300,000 for the ‘census and $200,000 for public printiog. The third deficiency carr.ed $100,000 for the Treasury department, half of it for enforce- ment of the Chinese exclusion act, with $315,000 for treasury printing and $50,000 for improvements to the gunboats Castine and Machias. The fourth carried about $215,- 000 for the Treasury department, most of it for the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, and for the United States courts $1,436,000, The fifth bill, approved June 19, carried $165,000 for the public print.ng office and $185,000 for the customs service. Two reso- lutions appropriating $50,000 and $10,000 for anforcing the Chinese exclusion act were approved December 7, 1893, and April 4, 1894, As most of the appropriation bills had ‘not passed at the beginning of the fiscal year, July 1, it was necessary to extend by resolution ail sppropriations for the neces- sary operatlons of the government for pen- sions and for the District of Columbia. They were twice extended for thirty days from Jure 30 and fifteen days from July 30, Two special appropriation bills f-r salaries of employes of congress were necessary and ono for the expenses of investigation ordered by the senate. Among the laws of benefit to the merchant marine Interests enacted w: one to pre- vent collisions at sea, prescr.bing a system t signals, and one to facilitate the. entry cf steamships. By a joint resolution officers and enlisted men of ‘both branches of the service were authorized to wear the badge of the Regular Army and Navy Union on all occaslons of ceremony. PUBLIC LAND LAWS. Much legislation relating to public lands was accomplished. One act extends to Jan- uary 1, 1897, the time within which persons may purchase railroad grant land_forfeited to the government by the act of September 20, 1800, under the conditions of purchase in’ that act An act was signed providing for the allot- ment of certain lands on the reservation of the confederate Otoes and other Indlans of aska and Kansas; amending the act of March 3, 1891 The commissioner authorized to issue of the patents as evidence ttle for valid locations made with land scrip issued pursuant to decrees of the su- preme court, which valid locations were made prior to the approval of the aforesald act in the same manner that patents are now is- sued under the provisions of section 8 of the act of June 25, 1579. As a measure of relief to the west during the business depression the requirement that on every mining claim located not less than $100 worth of labor or improvement to be each year done under penalty of forfeiture was suspended for the year 1894, The time for making final proof and payment for all lands located under the homestead and desert land law was extended for one year and the time for final payments under the pre-emp- tion act when entrymen are prevented from making payment from eauses beyond their control. The law was amended 50 persons who had made proof of settlement in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, but failed to file proof of thelr continued’ residence and culti- vation, are glven until January 1, 1896, to make final proof. Other land acts were: Reserving from salo land on the abandoned Fort Cumming (New Mexico) military reser- vation; to reserve to publlc use and the use of the Rio Grande, Mexico & Pacific com- pany a spring thereon. Granting 2,115 acres at the junction of the Gila and Colorado rivers In Arizona; granting to the county of Laramie, Wyo., bridges on the abandoned Fort Laramle Indian reservation; granting road rights to the citizens of Sauselito, Cal., over Lime Point military reservation; granting sixty acres to the Uni- versity of Utah for a site; defini the northern boundary line of the Warm Springs Indian reservation In Oregon; in- creasing the homesteads of settlers in the Towa reservation to 160 ucres; to protect the birds and animals and punish crimes in the Yellowtsone Natlonal park; granting right of way to the Albany & Astorla Rallway com- pany through the Grand Ronde Indian reser- vation in Oregon; to the Eastern, Nebraska & Guif through the Omaha and Winnebago reservation In Nebraska; to the Columbian Irrigation company through the Yakima res- ervation in Washington; to extend the time for the Umatilla Irrigation company to con struct its ditches across the Umatilla In dian reservation in Oregon; authorizing the land office was of state of Montana to'make selections from certain_public lands ahd regulating leases in the Yellowstone Nattomal park. NEW BRIDGE POR NEW YORK! Foremost in importance of the numerous bridge bills which becarme laws was the act authorizing the New York ‘and New Jerscy Bridge company to Bridge the Hudson be- tween New York City'and New Jersey. This structure, which will be only second to the Brooklyn' bridge, must be built in ten years under the terms of the act, not less than $1,000,000 to be expended on it each year and $2,600,000 the Arf year. Among acts passed to amend bridge charters was that to the Oregon and Washington Bridge com- pany across the Columbia river. An act was passed authorlzing the secre- tary of the treasury to permit the owners of cattle and horses, transporting them into Mexico for grazing, to reimport them within twelve months, and extending ke provi- sions to Mexicans, authorizing the president to appoint delegates to the meetings of the International Geodetle association, Among the acts pertaining to the judiciary of the United States were those to authorize the fourth postmaster general to approve postmasters’ bonds; to regulate the inspection of iron or steel boiler ‘plates and their stamping by the United States inspectors and fixing penalties for unauthorized use of the stamp. Among territorial ac's was one fixing the limit of indebtedness which may be incurred by Salt Lake City at 6 per cent of the value of the taxable property, and ome authorizing the county of Coconino, Ariz., to Issue $15,000 in bonds to build a county building. BUTCHERED LIKE RATS, Testimony of n Witness of the Ferocity of the Jap Saldlers. LONDON, Aug. 5.—The Times tomorrow will publish a dispatch from Shanghai, stat- ing that Colonel Van Hannekin, formerly aide- de-camp to the viceroy, who was among those rescued from the British steamer Kow Shung, which, while being used as a (ransport for Chinese troops, was sunk by a torpedo from the Japanese warship Nanawal, has given his testimony before the comamission appointed to inquire into the faets relative to the sinking of the vessel. Colonel Van Hannekin sald the Nanawal ordered the Kow Shung to come to anchor, which order was obeyed. Then the Japanese commander ordered the transport to holst her anchor, get under way and follow the Nanawai to Japan. As soon as the substance of this order became known to the Chinese troops on the Kow Shung they insisted that the order be not obeyed, inform- ing the officers that they preferred death to being captured. Captaln Galsworthy, the master of the Kow Shung, explained to the Japanese commander that the Kow Shung was a British vessel and stated that she had left port before hostilities between Japan and China had been commended. He offercd to abandon the voyage and return to China. After a little time the Nanawai displayed signals reading, “Abandon the ship.” To this the captain signaled the reply: “‘Impos- sible; (he troops will mot permit me (o leave. When this signal was read the Nanawal withdrew for a little further distance from the Kow Shung and discharged a torpedo at the transport. The torpedo struck the hull of the Kow Shung and exploded, tearing a great rent in her bottom. As the transport was sinking the Nanawai fired a broadside into her. A half hour afterward the Nana- wal lowered an armed boat, which cruised about the place where the transport hud gone down, firing upon the men who were struggiing in the water. Dispatches received at the foreign office from Shanghai confirm the Times dispaich as to the testimony-given by Colopel Van Hannekin. The official advices show that some of the British officers of the Kow Shung jumped overboard fromr the Vessel and were rescued by boats from the Japanese warship. The government has recelved no confirma- tion of the report. that the emperor of China has deprived Viceroy Li Hung Chang of the yellow riding jacket. TARLIFF SITUATION. Conferces Assemble and Some Agreement is Autleipated Within a Few Days. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—The usual Sun- day quiet of the capitol bullding was broken today by the assembling of the democratic conferees at 2:30 o'clock. All of the demo- cratic conferees were present except Semator Voorhees, who is sick, and Chairman Wil- son, who had gone to West Virginia to see his sick wife. The meeting lasted until 6 o'clock and was marked with even more than the usual secrecy. Some of the conferees declined to admit they were together. Others were more communicative, Lexplaining that the gathering was due to the desire to ex- pedite a settlement at the earifest moment possible. \ The meeting resulted {n an understanding that a report should be made one way or the other—agreement or -otherwise—within the next seventy-two hours. That it would be an agreement was not,-however, definitely settled. On this point the conferces say they have not yet passed the danger point, although they seemed more confident to- night that it would be an agreement. The discussion turned” on sugar, iron ore and czal. The house cohferees are proceed- ing without reference to the strong opposi- tion to the new sugar schedule by the Loulsiana senators. 'This opposition may be overc:me, however, by permitting the pre ent bounty, cr a portion of It, to run until January 1 next. By postponing the t'me at which the bounty provisions of the McKinley law shall be repealed until January 1 would operate on the crop about to be gathered. This, like all cthers details of the proposi- tion, Is not yet agreed upcn, but it was men- tioned by one of the copferees tonight as a fair concession to the Louisiana men and ono Lkely to overcome their opposition. The Louisiana senatcrs have said they would be willing to aceept hslf of the bounty for the prasent year in addition to the duty in the new compromise schedule, Some attention has also been given to the income tax, and while a final agreement has not been reached, it Is practically conceded the senate limit of five years w.ll be adopted. It will so reccmmend itself that an exten- sion of the system will be enacted at a subsequent congress. Bfforts are being made, however, to extend the time to six or eight yeara, B i NOTHING TO DISCUSS UT THE TARRIF, Senato Prepared ta Adjotirn as 5oon as it is Disposed O, WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—With the tarift disposed of, the senatel éould probably ad- journ In three or four days. The last of the general appropriation bills has passed the house and a majeyity of them have been signed by the pregfdent. Bome of these bills are in conferenco still, but if an agreement on them would bring &n ‘adjournment it would not be long delayed, #s there are no irrecon- cllable differencés between the two houses on appropriations. There 4s no other meas- ure other than the tariff ‘bill and the appro- priation bflls which Would be strong enough to hold the senate tégother for even a day. The probabilities of the week include a re- port from ihe conferenée committee and subsequently debate, ‘and #lso the presentation of the conference repdrts on the sundry, river and harbor and general deficlency bilis and the consideration of the calendar when these more important matters do not occupy a po- sition to recelve attention. The immigra ion bill will come up, and in liew of the tarlff may excite considerable @ebate. The republican senators are In the condition of a further limitation of jmmigration, but so far the democrats in the senate have not shown a Qisposition to aecept the challenge and they may chcose to permit the republicans to monopolize the discussion of the subject.

MUST SECURE MORE GOLD Another Pond Issue Believed to Bo Abs - lutely Neoessary at Washington, SOME ALARM MANIFESTED BY OFFICIALS While the Government Is Really in Better Condition at Present to Liguidate It Obligations Than In February, Appearaices Are Different. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—There are differ ences of cpinfon among the treasury officlals as to the probabilities of another bond issue Neither Mr. Carlisle nor Assstant Secretary Curtis 1s willing to admit that there s any real cause for alarm in the present financial situation. It Is known, however, that the president and his advisers are watching with eager interest every change in the financlal situation and that every phase of it Is being carefully followed and thoroughly studied Notwithstanding this solicitude it is believed it is the judgment of the president that the situat'on does not furnish any just cause for apprehension and a change for the better is confidently expected soon. From this point of view It Is argued a change of the pendin tarift bill Is sure to result in a prompt vival of busiress and that in consequence there will be a large Increase in the govern ment revenues. Receipts of customs, which for many months past have been gradually growing less, it is believed will show a marked improvement from the first and will continue to increase until normal conditions hava been reached. It is con'ended that fact the gold reserve water mark of about $52,000,000, the govern- ment s really far better able to meet fts obligations today than it was just prior to the February bond lssue. There are some, however, who take a less hopeful view of affairs. They observe the gold reserve. which six months ago was brought up to its normal condition by an Increase of 000,000 in the public debt, again melting away and already reduced to a point $13,000,000 below the lowest point reached prior to the February bond issue. They contemplate wi h uneasiness the fact that for a year and more the ordinary expenses of the government have largely exceeded the recelpts. This was true even during last month, when, in ex- pectation of a material increase in the tax on whisky, the receipts on internal revenue were abnormally large. It is argued that should the pending tariff bill become a law and go iInto operation even as early as the middle of the present month, no material in- crease in the revenue could be reasonably expected earlier than next December for the reason that (he tariff bill will have passed too late in the season to relize any consider- able amount from the fall importations. The treasury figures show there is mow in this country at least a six months' supply of sugar, so_ little be expec ed from that source. This Is true also of whisky. The statistics of Internal revenue show the tax has already been pald on over 13,000,000 gal- lons of whisky in excess of the amount upon which the tax had been paid one year ago. Therefore but little relief may be expected from this source before December. The only recourse, therefore, it Is con- tended, will be to a bond issue, and there are many well informed persons who believe if this congress does not pass a prohibitive resolution before adjruonment, $50,000,000 or more will soon be issued. That there would be no dificulty in placing any reasonable amount, even at the premium exacted in February, seems apparent from the fact that the February bonds are being sold at a premium of 1.27 per cent. re- notwithstanding the had reached the low QUEEN LIL'S FRIENDS DISCOURAGED. Envoys of the Hawuil Monarchy Not Meet- ing with Much Favor at Washington. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—The envoys from Queen Liliuakalani, who are in Washington, have not yet succeeded in obtaining an audi- cnce with President Cleveland. They have begun to lay their case before members of congress who belong to the senate and house committees on foreign affairs, They do n:t conceal their disappointment over the cool- ness of the administration towards them, and although careful to say nothing acrimonious, they convey the understanding very plainly that they think President Cleveland is treat- ing them rather shabbily, in view of his former attitude toward the defunct Hawaiian monarchy. Messrs. Parker, Cummings, Widemann and their associates had an iInterview today with a prominent member of the house con mittee on foreign affairs. The royalist en- voys were not very clear in their state ments of what they expect to acc:mplish by their visit to America. They said they expected to stay here until President Cleve- land gives them definite information of his intentions towards Hawail. They siid that the president had abruptly broken off his efforts for the restoration cf the queen, which they understocd that he had determined upon, and never had given the royalists any information regarding his position and in- tentions fcr the future. The envoys com- plained that Minister Willis cherished an undue friendship for the republic. As one of them put it; “‘He is just as bad as Stevens. He is auick to think with Dole and Dole now has him completely under his domina- tion “Willis moves in the same church creles with the leaders of the republican government; is socially Intimate with them, and has become to be regarded as a member of their circle,” was a further statement of the representatives of the royalists. “Will_you tell what sort of a president Dole is?”" the member of congress inqured of the delegation. Mr. Parker, who was the queen’s minister of foreign affairs, replied: **No cne knows Dole better than I do, and I am prepared to say that he is upright, able, thoroughly honest and consclentious,” One of the envoys remarked that Claus Spreckles is still a supporter of the mon- archy, and had not yet been reconciled to the republic. The interview closed without any statement to indicate that the mission has any financial obfect to attain. The Assoclated press reporter interviewed Mr. Widemano today after his visit to Sec- retary Gresham, He sald: “I lald the matter for which we ceme here before the secretary and at his request put It in wr.t- fog.

History of the Proscription sta in Catholic Socletios, 0., Aug b.—Ta an Assoclated today Bishop Watterson gave ting inside history leading up famous pastoral letter on total and Catholic socleties In relation Inside of n COLUMBUS press reporte some interes to his now abstinenc to manufacturers and venders of intoxicants A week before Thanksglving last year a member of one of the Columbus socleties be longing to the Knights of St. John's union told the bishop of preparati-ns making in their soclety for an ent alnment at which beer was to be sold and promiscuous danc ing Indulged in. After reproving the mem bers, the bishop received a promise that the objectionable feature would be omitted. Not- withstanding this the entertainment was held as originally intended. When the shop learned of this violation he fused to longer recognize the members of the society as Catholics, In December, at the regular the soclety, saloon keepers, regardless of the bishop's wishes, were elected president and captain respectively. The bishop thereupon warned the members if these officers were installed he would deprive the whole division of its rank and privileges as a Catholic so- clety. The soclety thereupon resolved to con sult the supreme presiden: of their union. This the bishop knew of only after the appeal was made. During a visit to Mgr. Satolli in February, Bishop Watterson, in the mean- time having heard a rumor that an appeal had been made, asked the delegate if such was the c Mgr. Satolil answered in the negative, and the bishop decided to wait an- other month. The very day, he says, on which the pastoral letter was issued, he was served by the apostolic delegate with the appeal of the society referred to and the correspond- ence with the local president relating thercto. The bishop’s action in regard to the socety was upheld by Satolli. The sclety was not satisfied, however, and hearing thit the dele- gate was to visit Columbus in June, drew up « second appeal, which they asked (he bishop to gign, thst it might go canonically to the delegate. While this was go'ng on in Columbus the nationsl convention of Knights of St. John was taking place in Buffalo, and a few dele- gates frem Columbus attempted the unprece- dented thing of arraigniog a bishop bef re a convention of laymen. The majority of the dolegates were against such action, however. The second decis'on of the delegate is dated July 3 and addressed to the secretary of the protesting society. Mge. Satclli firet lays down the general pronciple that, ““as it belongs to the office of a bishop to find out in his own diocese what is hurtful or helpful to the spiritual good of the - faithful, o it helongs to his power to cimmand, forbid, counsel or perm:t to be done or to be removed whatever he may judge contrary to his cwn duty and the good of the faithful. The letter of the right rev crened bishop of Columbus concern ng Cath- olic steieties’ disposition to abstain from in- toxicating liquors ought by no means to be tho subjoct of discussion of every private individual or every assemblage of smple Catholies or citizens, but every Catholic of good consclence must hold for certain that the bishop has commanded those things which seem for the greater good of the faithful end the honcr of every Catholic society."” Then, as the judge to whom the appeal was made, he says: ‘““Therefore, these things which the right reverend bishop has commanded in his decrce I approve and I decide * that they are to be observed; but If perhaps tney for the time being seem (> hurt the material condition of the few, they will have to be patien ly borne for the good of the many and for the honor of our holy ~Catholic church. The bishop says he inserted the wedge of reform and those who are affected by the decision got the apostol! delegate, glory to him, to drive it in election of A KU, DECLAR HE STRIKE OFF, Chicago Lodges Give All Mcmbers Author- iy to Keturn to Wo CHICAGO, ‘Aug. b.—-After a struggle of forty days against the united railroads the A.

Every, seat in the grand stand and bleachers was occupied and a large crowd of men and boys had taken positions on the field. The game had alvanced to the seventh inning, when a cry of fire was heard from the bleachers, and a thin veil of smoke was seen creeping through the cracks of the grand stand. The cry was taken up on all sides, and in a short time a terrible panic ensucd. All the four exits leading from the grand stand were jammed with men and boys and also a sprinkling of women. The exits were not large enough to permit the throng to go~ through, and hundreds of men sought to jump over the barbed wire fence into the ball grounds. The first reaching the fence scaled it suce cessfully, but those that followed, in thelr nxiety to get to safe quarters, tried to crawl through and in nearly every instance became wedged between the wire and theip clothing was torn in shreds and hands and legs were lacerated by the sharp barbs.

The fire spread rapidly and the small force of firemen which responded to the first alarm were unable to cope with the flames. The heat from the flames was o intense the firemen were unable to get within twenty, yards of it. Edward Ahearn, a fireman, en= deavored to reach the ball ground by going through a portion of the burning stand. His clothes caught fire and he was compelled to_retreat, badly burred.

Barts lett was removed to the county hospital, where it was found his leg was broken and he was badly bruised. For an hour after the first alarm many physicians were kept busy attending the in- jured. Twenty or more went to the county hospital to have their wounds dressed, buf all save Ahearn and Bartlett were able ta leave as soon as their injurles were attended to.
