THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 18, 1895. CRUSHED AT A FIRE, Three Ohio Firemen Killed in a Burning Roundhouse. TWELVE IN THE RUINS. The Wabash Engine-House at Toledo Is Completely Destroyed. TWO AIARMS ARE SOUNDED. A High Wind Causes a Loss of Life and One Hundred Thou- sand Dollars. TOLEDO, Ohio, March 17.—The round- house of the Wabash Railroad Company in this city, located at the foot of South street on the dock, was burned to the ground between 10 and 11 o'clock this morning. Three-quarters of an hour after the first alarm was sent in the southwest wall of the building, sixty feet in circum- fe e, fell in, burying twelve men under- . Tw f them were instantly killed, a third died a short time after being taken out of the debris and the others were all badly hurt, one probably fatally. All but one, John Bowen, were employes of the Wabash. The dead are: R. H. Bohlman, skull njured. J. on, back broken, skull crushed, killed in John Bowen, skull crushed, internally injured, killed instantly. The injured are: F. H. Howard, head shtly burned,will recover; John broken, arm crushed, skull frac- die; Patrick McDonough, skull , shoulder broken, will recover; artin Greenburg, head cut, will recover; Harry Zimmerman, legs sprained, body bruised; Louis Becker, head bruised; shoulder sprained; Henry Gerding, head bruited and cut; T.G. Lauer, head and neck sprained, head cut; Casper Becker, head and shoulders cut. The first alarm for the fire came by tele- phone to the district offices at 10:10 a, A few minutes previously a resident of the neighborhood of the roundhouse saw a small flame burst out of the cupola of the building, and he ran to the office of the general foreman, directly across from the roundhouse, and notified those in charge. General Foreman Howard summoned the company’s private fire department, con- sisting of fifteen men, to the scene, and a stream of water was directed toward the blazing cupola. A heavy wind was blow- ing and the fire soon worked its way down to the roof of the roundhouse. When Fire Chief Mayer reached the scene he saw that there was danger of the flames reaching the oilhouse, repair shops and the Wabash elevator, all in close | proximity, and he immediately sent in a general alarm. Meanwhile the road’s fire company had directed its efforts’ toward smothering the flames from the structure which menaced the oilhouse, and the fire at this point was ¥eld fairly in check. The roof wasalready ablaze a threatened to collapse every moment, but the falling of the walls was not at this time anticipated. The iron braces supporting the roof expanded in the intense heat, and the frail frame covering gave way with a muffled roar, falling on the stalled engines. At this moment the southwest wall, fif- teen feet high and eighteen inches thick, was seen to totter outward from the literal pressure of the falling roof, and a yell went up to apprise of their danger the fif- teen men at work in that portion of the building. The warning came too late and twelve of the men were buried in a pile of brick several feet high. That only two were killed outright was nothing short of miraculous. Streams of water were poured on the smoking debris, and as soon as possible the work of rescue began. Preston and Bowen were buried completely and were dead some time be- fore their bodies was reached. They were badly crushed, Bowen's teatures being un- recognizable. Bohlman was taken out in an unconscious condition and removed to his home, where he died a few hours after- ward. By this time half a dozen physicians had reached the scene, and attention was di- ted toward carrying out the injured. Leary was found to be the worst sufferer, and it was feared that he would scarcely live out the day. The others, though badly used up, will probably recover. The firemen had a stubborn fight with the doomed roundhouse, the heavy wind greatly aiding the stubborn flames. At noon the flames were practically under control, after destroying all that was in- flammable of the building. The property loss is estimated at $100,- 000, probably insured. The roundhouse, ich had a capacity of twenty locomo- iives, contained only six engines, and these are all badly damaged. A Wheeling and Lake Erie coal car and a Baltimore and Ohio boxcar were also con- sumed. Late to-night two more men were found who were injured by the falling walls. Theyare J. Finley, engineer, of Andrews, Ind.; George Towers, machinst, both in the employ of the Wabash. Finley is quite se- riously hurt, his chest being crushed and he sustained a severe scalp wound. Towers has a fracture of the left leg and is more or less bruised. ELKS TO CONFER. Rival Factions of the Order Will Meet in Chicago To-Day. CHICAGO, March 17.—An effort to ad- just the differences between the two branches of the Order of Elks will be made at a convention, which opens at the Audi- torium to-morrow morning. The conven- tion, or rather conference, is called by the Omaha lodge. It is claimed that represen- tatives from nearly all the lodges in the country will be repretented. The Chicago lodge will not be represented. The mem- bers of the local lodge adhere to the grand lodge, which met at Atlantic City last June, and refuse to recognize that the Jamestown faction has any right to its contention. The difficulty arose over the passage of a resolution at the annual session of the Grand Lodge at Detroit !:n June, 1893, which delegated to a committee the power to fix the time and place for the next an- nual session. The committee called the Grand Lodge to meet in Jamestown and the grand officers called the meeting for Atlantic City. E.B.Hayes of Washington was elected the grand exalted ruler by the Atlantic City faction and M. H. Friday was elected to the position by the James- between the two factions has grown stronger and the prospects for affiliation less hopeful. The Omaha Lodge has sent to the conference a delegation consisting of George P. Cronk, C. S. Hatten, William Brandt and E. M. Bartlett. Mr. Brandt said to-night: “The conference is not called in the in- terest of any faction. The Omaha lodge wants to see the order reunited. We will enter the conference with no set scheme, no attempt to revive the old bitterness, but’ with an effort to lay aside the differ- ences of the past, drop all the animosity and make an atte npt to bring both factions into harmony. The longer the order re- mains divided the more hopeless will be- bome the task of reconciliation. The legal aspect of the dispute is now i: the courts, and which ever way it is decided will only intensify the feeling of the losing faction. ‘We have secured a general response to our call, and I expect an attendance of over 100 representatives. bt TR e 4 A BROKER'S ICIDE. Fran McFarlane Advises AUl Men to Quit the Board of Trade. CHICAGO, March 17.—Frank McFar- lane, a prominent member of the Chicago Board of Trade, was found dead in Wash- ington Park by two park police officers this morning. Investigation showed that Me- Farlane had shot himself twice through the left breast. The circumstances sur- rounding his death show that it was de- liberately planned. It appears that Mc- Farlane had been brooding forseveral days over business embarrassments, and in a letter addressed to the public he says he had tried and failed so often since he came on the board that he was at last dis- heartened and had to give up; that he met defeat again Saturday, which was more than he could endure, and concluded by warning all honest men to beware of CLOSING TP IN CINCINNATI THE LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE TRYING TO ENFORCE THE SUN- DAY LAWS, BoycoTTING Is BEING RESORTED TO BY THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CASE. CINCINNATI, March 16.—The Law and Order League closed up the city to-day. Slot machines and all such devices were run into the cellars last week. Gambling places have been closed wherever it was possible to shadow them for some time. During the past week the midnight-closing law has been strictly enforced. To-night the records show forty saloonists arrested { to-day for keeping open in violation of the Sunday law. Every place with an open entrance in the rear, side or front to a bar is being pulled. Since the police have acted on the com- | plaints of the Law and Order League a counter move has been started by dete: tives and other officers ousted at the insti- gation of the league. Charges of drunken- ness, visiting prize-fights and other of- fenses are being prepared against the Po- lice Commissioners to file with Governor McKinley, who appoints the Police Com- missioners. As Daniel Morgan, one of the Commissioners, is a member of the firm ssell, Morgan & Co., printers, a boy- cott has been started on their playing- cards and other goods. Two other Com- missioners are heing boycotted. The lead- ing Commissioner in this restrictive move is Isaac Miller, a lawyer, and the boycot- ters do not know how to get after him. SEepegias SUNDAY IN ST. LOUIS. Associations Gather Evidence of Infrac- tions of the Blue Laws. ST. LOUIS, March 17.—To-day has been the bluest Sunday St. Lounis has ever had within the memory of* the oldest inhabit- ant. The Sabbath Associdtion has had | many committees at work, and they made many purchases in all saloons, groceries, dry-goods stores and haberdashers’ estab- lishments that were open end ready to sell. The work of the Sabbath Association has put terror in the hearts of the men who have hitherto scarcely thought there is a Sunday-closing law on the statute books. In consequence, many stores heretofore kept open on the Sabbath day were closed. The sudden break of the butchers, grocers, cigar dealers and saloon-keepers to keep holy the Sabbath drove many absent- minded persons to their wits’ ends to secure the necessities and luxuries usunally purchased on Sunday. Officers of the association say they are making an aggressive crusade in spite of the efforts of some influential men to thwart theirefforts. The result of to-day’s work will be seen in the number of war- rants applied for by the association of this place. Arrest and conviction will follow in every case where witnesses are able to prove an infraction of law. Pt FIRE IN ST. LOUIS. A Storage Warehouse and Elevator, With Contents, Completely Destroyed. ST. LOUIS, March 17.—Early this morn- ing the storage warehouse and elevator of Hugh Rogers & Co., dealers in salt and grain at the corner of the levee and Bremen avenue, was burned, causing a loss of $200,000 on the buildings and contents, fully insured. The building was two stories high, about 150 fect long and forty feet wide, and con- tained salt and grain valued at $180,000. The contents that escaped the fire were swept away and destroyed by the flood of water thrown on the flames. The fire broke out in the office, presuma- bly from the stove. It raged all day, but was confined to the Rogers warehouse. So rapidly did the flames spread that when the first engine arrived and. was ready for work the entire structure was in flames. A second alarm was immediately sounded and the firemen tried to save the adjoining property, consisting of lumber yards, small storage warehouses and railroad property, as it was seen that the elevator was doomed, S Five in Milwaukee. MILWAUKEE, March 17.—Fire early this morning in the Morris building, a large brick structure at the foot of East ‘Water street, caused damage to the build- ing and contents estimated at $50,000. The insurance cannot be ascertained before to- morrow, but is supposed to cover the loss. The premises were occupied by a bicycle manufacturing firm, the Wisconsin Iron and Wire Works, the Milwaukee Brass Company and the National Lime Rock Company. The fire started from some un- known cause from the top story. == An Ohio Infirmary Burned. MILLERSBURG, Ohio, March 17.—The Holmes County Infirmary near this place was burned this morning, causing a lcss of $25,000, on which there was an insurance of $15,000. The forty-six inmates of the in- stitution were rescued with great difficulty, but all were taken out safely. MAKEa note of it.—Twenty-five ‘cents buy the town faction.

The Principal Event of the Series of Races That Will Occur. LIGHT WINDS AND SLOW TIME. A Poor Trial of the Qualities of the Winning and Losing Yachts. MONTE CARLO, March 17.—The Moc-. naco regatta opened to-day and the princi- pal event, the race for the prize offered by the Prince of Monaco, was won by the Prince of Wales’ yacht Britannia, which eave the Ailsa her first defeat. The Brit- annia’s victory, however, did not create the greatest enthusiasm among impartial yachtsmen, for the reason it was gained in a poor trial of the qualities of the respect- ive boats and was partly due to the Ailsa holding her opponent too cheaply. The race was for the Prix de Prince Al- bert I, open to all yachts above twenty tons. The weather was beautiful, but the wind was light and fluky, and this, of course, made an exciting race an impossibility. Considerable doubt was expressed as to whether the Britannia would start in a race on Sunday, owing mainly to the presence of Queen Victoria at Cimes, but this diffi- culty was overcome by the Prince not going on board his yacht. He watched the race from the terrace at Monte Carlo. The course, which covered a distance of fifteen miles, was in the shape of a tri- angle. The wind was blowing a light breeze from the southeast when the yachts got near the starting line, where they for some time lazily kept luffing and filling, waiting for the signal to start. The com- petitors were, in addition to the Ailsa and Britannia, the Corsair and Valkyrie I. The first leg was about to windward and all the racers stood off to the eastward with their starboard tacks pretty close aboard. The Ailsa could probably have got off sooner had she so desired, but she waited until she could come around in the Bri- tannia’s weather. It took the Ailsa buta short time to overcome the thirty-one sec- onds the Britannia had gained on the start, and then she had the Prince of Wales’ cutter broad on her lee beam, blanketing her for a time, and then forged ahead and continued to gain until she had but two short boards to reach Cape Marin. All interest was centered in the leaders, and as Cape Marin was reached it was the general opinion that the Ailsa, barring ac- cidents, was a sure winner, she having not only overcome the Britannia’s 31 seconds’ lead at the start, but gained a lead of 2 minutes and 7 seconds. The Cape Marin turning mark was rounded by the leaders in the following time: Ailsa, 12:28:50; Bri- tannia, 12:30:57. ‘What little breeze there was began to grow less after the yachts stood up for Roquebrune. On this leg the wind was well ait and, caught straight on their course, the spinnakers were broken out on both racers. In a short time the breeze freshened a little, and the Britannia was the first to get the benefit of it. As her spinnaker and main sail filled she Jshot ahead, and those on the Ailsa began to think the stern chase was going tobea shorter one than they had at first expected. Soon the Britannia overhauled the Ailsa and went to the front, rounding the Roquebrune mark 38 seconds ahead of the Ailsa, their respective time being: Bri- tannia, 12:49:10; Ailsa, 12:49:48. It was a short and easy reach home. The Britannia continued to gain slowly, and at the finish of the first round she was 43 seconds to the good. The first round was finished as follows: Britannia, 12 hours 56 min. 10 sec.; Ailsa, 12 hours 56 min. 53 sec. On the run up to the Roquebrune mark the racers had the wind, which was getting more westerly aft the port beam. The Britannia had luffed out a good bit. The Ailsa drew to the windward as well, and the Britannia luffed up farther and farther. Both kept at it until they were so far out in the bay that when they headed for the mark they put the wind well enough astern to make a run for it. The spinnakers were again set, and then the Britannia began to get through the water quicker than her opponent. Slowly but surely she came along, and in a short time stole into the lead. Rounding the mark the pair were overlapped, the Britannia blanketing the Ailsa. This resulted in the latter having to make a short tack to get around, and in the meantime the Britannia fetched around and reached for home with a good lead. The time of the finish of the second round was: Britannia, 1 hour 45 min. 40 sec.; Ailsa, 1 hour 45 min. 48 sec. Thus, the Britannia won easily, without reckoning the time allowed her by the Ailsa. The actual time occupied in cover- ing the course was: Britannia, 2:19:00; Ailsa, 2:20:34; Valkyrie, 2:47:00; Corsair, 2:47:10. Mr, Allen’s ten-rater Dakotah won the race for her class, easily beating the St. Marcial. DR. RICE-SIMMONS RACE. AU the Details for the Event Have Been Arranged. ST. LOUIS, March 17.—All the details of the Dr. Rice-Simmons match race have been settled. The race will take place April 20, rain or shine. Both Mr. Walsh and Mr. Foster have deposited $750 with the fair grounds. After the race the win- ner gets back his $750, while the fair grounds retains the other $750 for track rental. The winner also takes the entire gate receipts. In addition there is a side bet. - Simmons is to carry 106 and Dr. Rice 116 pounds. Fred Taral has been engaged to ride Dr. Rice, and in all probability Thorpe will ride the son of Sir Modred. Snapper Garrison has been engaged to act as starter. These details were arranged by Secretary Gwynn and will be approved ata meeting of the board of racing stewards to-morrow or Tuesday. Three other races are to be run on the same day. As the races are to be run over the fair grounds track in order to insure that the turf congress regu- lations are lived up the racing stewards will supervise the day’s sport. FIXING AMATEUR RECORDS.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 17.—The ‘Worthington block, at the corner of On- tario and Noble streets, occupied by the World newspaper plant and the A. N. Kellogg Newspaper Company, was en- tirely destroyed by fire soon aiter 6 o’clock this evening. The building was of brick and five stories in licight. The basement and see- ond floor were owned by the Kellogg News- paper Company, with a composing-room and stereotyping plant, while the World occupied the first and fifth floors. On the third floor was the Claflin Manu- facturing Company, makers of light hard- ware, and on the fourth floor was the Bandau Brothers Passementerie Company. The loss on the building is estimated at $40,000, with $10,000 insurance. The loss of the World is placed at $60,000, with $40,000 insurance. The Kellogg Company’s loss is $41,000 and the insurance $21,000. The Claflin Manufacturing Company and Bandau Brothers lose about $10,000 each, which is insured. The cause of the fire is a mystery. Itstarted in the rear of the first floor and spread with great rapidity. An explosion, probably caused by gaso- line, occurred soon after the fire started and caused quite a little excitement. The ‘World will appear as usual to-morrow. —_—— SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD. One of the Missing Men of the Walsen- burg Iragedy Found. DENVER, March 17.—A special to the News from Walsenburg, Colo., says: Pietro Giocabino, one of the men supposed to have been killed at Bear Creek late last Tuesday night, has been found. He was discovered last night by some Mexicans about ten miles from the scene of the tragedy. His feet were frozen and he was in a pitiable condition from exposure, hunger and fright. The Sheriff was noti- fled and this morning took him to Pueblo, where he was placed in jail. Antonio Gabatto, the other prisoner, has not yet been found and Pietro does not know where he is. When Pietro’s feet were frozen and he was unable any longer to walk Antonio left him.

He is now making an investigation of his own. The Consul says he will stay here for a month if neces- sary to learn what he wishes. He is mak- ing a thorough and exhaustive examina- tion of all the incidents concerned in the unfortunate affair. He says his Govern- ment is in no hurry and that everything will be done quietly and in order. It is also certain that he is now making upa report of his ownand that it will cover many things not in the official report. —_— MURDERED IN DENVER. Final Result of Testimony Given in @ Divoree Suit. DENVER, March 17.—George B. Kron- ing was shot and killed this afternoon shortly after 3 o’clock by William R. Peck at room 628, Equitable building, Kroning died at 5:15 o’clock at St. Luke’s Hospital. Kroning’s wife obtained a divorce from him several weeks ago on the ground that he had been unduly intimate with a woman who was supposed to be Mrs. Peck. It seems that Kroning called at police headquarters last night and asked for pro- tection. To-day Peck rushed into head- quarters and excitedly informed the officers in charge that he had just shot Kroning. He said that he did not know whether he had kitled him or not, but he had emptied the six chambers of his revolver into his body. Peck refused to talk further, Both men were employed by the Rio Grande Railroad Company. Until the case they bore the| da; FLED FROM ARMENIA, One Refugee Arrives at Kars With a Bloody Story. IS A LONELY SURVIVOR. No Respect Paid to Age or Sex by the' Brutal Kurd Soldiers. BABES IMPALED ON DAGGERS. Fire Was Even Used to Torture Some of the Unlucky Victims of the Victors. LONDON, March 17.—The following letter has been received from the special correspondent of the Associated Press who is examining into the Armenian atrocities, The letter, which bears date of Kars, February 28, says: An Armenian refugee has just arrived here after many dangers and privations since his escape from his home at Sassoun. His name is Maro. He is a shepherd, 20 years of age. He said: “Iam the son of Stephan, our family is called Netko, the name of our village is Axhbi. In my neighborhood there were also the villages of Khatal, Heting and Guebarash. My village, Axhbi, consisted of 700, and there remains not a single man, not a single house, the people are all killed, save six families. In my family were nine members. My father was the most considerable man in the village. There were in all four men in our family. My father was the most courageous and was at the head of the firing. “By the order of the Vali, Kalamadan, Sassoun was attacked by a great number of Kurds. The Kurds assailed us like wolves, but they could not conquer us, since not only we men took part in the fighting, but all the women—even the old ones—as my mother did, tucked up their clothing, armed themselves with daggers and helped us fight Kurds. For twenty- one days we continued our battle. We beat and were beaten. “But we showed no sign of defeat or in- tention to retire from the battle. When we had killed some of the Kurds Vali Pasha and Vali Kalamadan sent many regular troops—how many there was I don’t know—maybe five, maybe twenty thousand. One thing is very certain— there remained no place without some soldiers. They placed cannon and began to fire. The women fainted, and their shells created such terror, death and de- struction. They wished to show mercy to nobody—not to the children, not to the old men, not to the women. The shells mowed down all before them, as grass be- fore a scythe. We fled and began to seek refuge in our rocks and caverns, but the cannon continued to sweep away every- thing—stones and men. The flames and smoke of our burning homes reached us in our caverns. ‘‘The commanders of the hamadie (ir- regular cavalry) pitched their tents on some of the heights and with fieldglasses in their hands they observed the hiding places of the hunted, and if they perceived behind a stone the head of a man they im- mediately went there. The soldiers cut to pieces all they found there without dis- tinction of age or sex. The heads of the victims were brought as trophies to the commanders. ““Those who found refuge in the caverns could leave only in the night. The Kurds committed all kinds of atrocities. They found no pleasure in killing adult men. They hunted for children, threw them to the ground and plunged daggers into their bodies. After this they pitched them into the air and turned the daggers in their bodies, then threw them against a stone, saying: ‘When you are grown up you would fight against us. Better go to ——." Then they tramped the bodies under foot. “The Kurds concluded to kill me be- cause I was neither lazy nor sleepy in kill- ing them. We decided,I and my two companions, to fieeto Russia. We fled from Sassoun and reached the forest. Entering we heard a heavy and heart-rending sound. Going to the sound we found Miro from Khatan, a courageous Sassoun man, from whose mouth flowed blood. We took Miro and carried him secretly, but when we reached the wheat field the Kurds saw us and pursued. Then each of us gave a kiss to our dying compatriot and fled. The Kurds took Miro, dragged him into a sheep fold and set fire to it. All was burned. “My uncle was killed in the fighting. | the other members of our family took refuge in a cavern. The place was so diffi- cult to reach that we had to draw up the women and children one by one by ropes. “My companion, Aveti, had five uncles of whom Khaso and Khaco were killed. Oh I wish I could name one by one all the persons killed and tell you how many cattle were driven away. ‘“‘After our flight we came to the village of Zix and then to Edhnpape. We were six in all and wore strange clothing. We wore coats of moosh and hats of moosh. If we had worn our Sassoun overcoats and hats, the Kurds would have recognized us and we should have been killed.” VICTORY AT MANDANO. Spanish Forces Defeat Malay Mussul- mans, but Lose Some Men.

A Question Raised as to Where the Par- ties Will Be Tried. BUTTE, Nebr.,, March 17.—Attorney- General Churchill, in an interview with W. F. Willis, County Attorney, who has just returned from Lincoln, states that in case the Legislature had succeeded in passing the Barrett-Scott bill, allowing the State to take a change of venue, he would not have asked it. ‘Willis is authority for the statement that the Attorney-General had arrived at the conclusion that when the cases were called against the alleged lynchers he would move to dismiss the action and then insti- tute new proceedings in Boyd County. The theory of the prosecution that, since the body was found on the Boyd side of | § the river the supposition is that the crime was committed in Boyd County, and if the defense wants a trial in Holt County they | will have to show that the murder was actually committed in that county. The case, if brought to Boyd County, will work a great hardship to its citizens as the expenses of the trial will have to be borne by that county, which it is just now utterly unable to do.
