FATAL FOREST FIRES
Ten Persons Thought. to . Have
Perished in Manitoba.
FLAMES STILL SPREADING
Heavy Damage. Done in Michigan
and Indiana by Flames Sweeping
“Over Dried-Up Prairies—Potatoe!
Roasted in the Ground.
Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 8.—The forest
fires that have been raging in Mani-
toba, close to the boundary line, for
the past ten days, have broken out
more furiously than ever. Ten or
twelve persons are reported to have
been burned to death, and the fire is
rapidly spreading towards North Dako-
ta. Hundreds of thousands of dollars’
worth of timber has been destroyed,
besides grain and farm buildings. It
is feared that the fires will get beyond
the control of the settlers.
At Beausejour, Man., seven per-
sons are reported to have been
burned to death. Mrs. O. W. Thomas,
her young son and a daughter, had a
race with the flames for several miles.
They lost a team of horses, which they
kept on the run. Sparks from the
burning timber were blown into the
dry grass of a prairie which they were
compelled to cross and soon they were
surrounded by the flames. The frantic
horses started to run straight ahead
into the burning timber. Before they
had gone far the carriage overturned
and they were thrown down an em-
bankment into a small creek. This
probably saved their lives. They were
badly burned.
A. report from Morris, Man., says
a prairie fire has been raging there
and that one family of four persons is
known to have perished. The fire is
supposed to have been started by the
spark of an engine.
Potatoes Roasted in the Ground.
Niles, Mich, Oct. 8.——East and north
of this city, marsh fires still continue.
Farmers have fought the flames night
and day for a week and are exhausted.
They have moved their household
goods to places of safety and have sac-
rificed their homes.
Near Berrien Springs, on what is
known as the Big Meadow, hundreds
of acres of potatoes have been roasted
in the hills. The fire is the worst that
has occurred in this vicinity since 1871.
Large Fires in Indiana.
Fort Wayne, Ind.,- Oct. 8.—Forest
fires are raging in the eastern part
of this county and farmers have or-
ganized to fight the flames. Last even-
ing the little town of Edgerton and
BaldWin were threatened with fire and
were saved only after hard work.
Barns, corn in shock, and acres of
Winter wheat which was dried up,
have been destroyed.
LUETGERT’S FATE NEAR.
State Continues, Its Attack in the
Luetgert Trial.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 8.—The State yes-
terday continued its attack begun the
day before on the defense set up by
Adolph L. Luetgert to the charge that
he murdered his wife and destroyed
her body in a sausage vat.
The State’s attorneys are at present
dealing with the allegation that Mrs.
'Luetgert is still alive, 'and‘ they‘have
brought out some damaging testimony
against Matthew Scholey, who Swore
that he saw her in Kenosha, Wis., on
May 4 and 5. W'itnesses have now de-
they would not believe
Scholey under oath, and two of them
have sworn to conversations with
Scholey since he was a witness, in
which he said he “was satisfied with
what he got for testifying? and that
“Luetgert made a good job of it, any-
way.” '
As to Luetgert’s contention that he
was making softsoap in the big vat
at the time it is alleged he was boil-
ing his wife's body, the State, thrdugh
Frank Moan, custodian for the Sheriff,
has shown that there were many cases
of all kinds of soap in the factory when
he took possession, so that Luetgert
'did not need to make any. Neither did
the factory need cleaning.
So far as the evidence is concerned
the famous Luetgert trial is nearing its
close. It is expected that the rebuttal
evidence of the prosecution will all be
in by to-morrow night. Some rebuttal
on the part of the defense will follow
0n.Saturday and both sides are ex-
pected to rest their cases Saturday
afternoon. .
Never before in Chicago has the in-
terest in a murder trial been sustained
from start to finish as it has been in
the Luetgert case.
Luetgert was moved to deep profan-
ity in the county jail to-day by the
visit of a professional hypnotist. The
man of hypnotic science asked Luet-
gert’s permission to hypnotize him.
With a richly flavored German oath,
Luetgert observed as he stood behind
the bars: ,
“If I was out there in the corridor
I’d hypnotize you with one poke on the
jaw. I’d put you to sleep good and
plenty, you humbug.”
Blow to Silver.
London, Oct. 8.-—Your correspondent
is informed from a trustworthy source
that the Indian Government, in reply
to a further pressing invitation by the
English Cabinet to consider Senator
Wolcott’s proposal, has answered that
it cannot reopen the question of the
Indian currency, and it will not be a
party to the reopening of the mints
for the free coinage of silver.
In well—informed English circles it is
not believed that Lord Salisbury’s Gov-
ernment ,will dare to override the de-
cision of the Indian Government.
Senator Wolcott’s mission must thus
be considered a failure.

Hey" York Situation at Was-II-
ington. . _
Washington, Oct.' 8.—Rumo.rs have
been revived in ”Washington connecting
the name of Secretary Bliss with the
Mayorality contest in Greater New
York. Several Low people were in
the Interior Department, and it is said
that they repeated the overtures made
The
the warring factions of the Republican
party in the city on himself. At the
department nothing can be learned as
to the truth of the statements, but it is
known that the Secretary does not in-
tend to become involved in the con-
test; and it is believed, further, that
the Administration will not take any
part in the contest.
The Low people in Washington seem
to be more anxious to effect a compro-
mise with the Tracy people than do
the latter. Another interesting piece
of information is the statement that
overtures are being made by the Low
forces to the Tracy adherents to effect
a compromise by uniting on Mayor
Strong. Not much faith is placed in
this rumor by New York Republicans
in Washington.
It was stated 0n good authority that
if some agreement was not reached
within a short time ,Senator Platt
would again visit this city for the pur-
pose of further consulting with the
President and Secretary Bliss concern-
ing the New York situation. It is
feared that if the Administration does
not soon take some action to effect a
compromise between'the two factions
it may involve the Legislature. The
loss of the seats in New York and
Brooklyn would bring the Republican
majority in the State Legislature down
to a very small figure, and the turning
additional districts in
the State outside would give the Dem-
ing the Legislature on joint ballot.
Salisbury’s Poor Memory.
TEXAS OIL FIELDS.
OPERATIONS ON- AN EXTENSIVE
SCALE INAUGERATED.
An Apparently Unlimited Supply of Pc-
troleum in Sight—How It Got There a
3 Geological Mystery—An Accidental
Discovery.
The development of the crude pe-
troleum product in, and around Cor-
sic'ana is just now attracting a great
deal of attention on account of the ex-
tensive scale upon which operations
have recently been inaugurated. The
existence of oil in this vicinity has
been known for over two years, but lit-
.tle noise has been made abOut it, as it
was feared that the find would prove
limited and profitless. Now, however,
investigations have progressed far
enough to give reasonable assur-
ance that the field is a very rich one,
.and, in consequence, there is a great
.deal of excitement and speculation.
IFour companies have been organized
,for the development of the field, with
,an aggregate capital of about $240,000,
two of them being capitalized at about
$100,000 each. These two companies
are the pioneers, and have been in ex-
istence for some time,-having now, be
tween them, seventeen wells, four-
teen of which are flowing oil at a rate
of from twenty to eighty barrels each
per day, the average daily output be-
ing nearly thirty barrels per well,
which is readily sold at 60c to 65c per
barrel, and is used by mills and factor-
ies in this and surrounding cities for
fuel.
The discovery of oil in this terri-
tory» was purely an accident, and came
London, Oct. 8.—The misunderstand-
ing that has arisen over the Behring
Sea conference is due entirely to one of,
Lord Salis-bury’s extraordinary freaks
of memory. He does not now deny that
Ambassador Hay verb-ally informed
him in July last of the intention of the
United Staltes to invite Russia and
Japan to participate in the conference,
but declares that he instantly replied:
“Oh, no; Great Britain will not partici-'
pate on such conditions.”
Ambassador Hay did not hear any
such reply, and interpreted Lord Salis-
bury’s attitude as a tacit consent to
take part in the conference. Col. Hay
had no intimation of the British o‘bjec-
tion to Russia. and Japan until a few
days ago. This is by no means the first
time that Lord Salisbury has affirmed
that he had said what may have been
in his mind, but which was not ex-,
pressed. .
Canada and the United States.
London, England, Oct. 8.—Mr. W. S.
Fielding, Minister of Finance of the
Dominion of Canada, has arrived here
to negotiate a loan of £2,000,000 to take
up outstanding obligations of Canada.
In an interview, Mr. Fielding said:
“The Canadian Government is well
aware that a number of influential
men in both parties of the United
States are dissatisfied with the present I'
state of trade between the United
States and Canada, and it is quite pos-
sible this will lead to "some action. If
the United States approaches the Cana-
dian Government on the subject it will
be met in the right spirit.
“We strbngly believe that it is. for;
the advancement of Canadian as well
as imperial interests that there should

. 'ed. The progress
' ,Water
', larly as
,about through the efforts of the Cor-
asicana Water Development Company
to get a supply of water for the city.
:Somewhat over two years ago the sup-
ply of water began to run low, the
city having for years drawn its sup-
ply from a large tank, formed by dam-
,ming up a little stream, which began
to fall on account of encroachments
'upon the watershed by new settle-
ments. A water famine was threaten-
of the city was
checked, and serious loss of business
was threatened. It was then that the
Development Company was
formed, and undertook by an artesian
,well to secure the needed supply. Ef-
forts in thisdirecton had been made
ibefore, but had proven fruitless,
and the people placed little con-
fidence in the scheme, particu-
the eminent geologist
for the state had said that no water
would be found at less depth than
l3500 feet, and when found it would
'prove useless. In face of thesecondi-
,‘tions, work was commenced late in
E1894 upon a well in a low piece of
.gground in the southwestern part of the
,city. .
The drill pounded its way through a
monstrous formation known to geolo-
gists as Ponderosa marl, but familiar
:to every well-digger in Texas as
“joint clay,” to a depth of 1040 feet,
when it seemed to enter a much softer
formation, which, when brought to the
surface, proved to be a bluish sandy
'shade saturated with a fine quality
of petroleum. The drill quickly sank
through this streak of shale, which,
was 20 feet thick, and from which oil
flowed in large quantities. A halt was
called and a consultation held. The
doubting Thomases, who had sturdily
maintained that it was useless to bore
for water, became more confirmed in
their position and suggested that it
‘ would be better to stop the well where
'it was and sell the oil.» to pay expenses.
'The water-hunters, however, ’ had
started for water, and decided to go
on. The oil was shut off as the piping
was sunk and the drill in its down-
ward journey encountered another
streak of joint clay identical with that
the surface. This second streak prov-
ed to be about 500 feet thick, when a
new formation was encountered. This
fohalk,” by the Texas Geological De-
partment, and proved to be about 500
feet thick. Next came a streak of clay
the drill had penetrated this, it tapped
a subterranean water fountain and out
igallonsdaily. Water was found at a
depth of 2500 feet; its temperature is
5120 degrees Fahrenheit, and it has an
initial pressure of 56 pounds.
The water problem was solved and
at once attention was given to the oil
discovery. The petroleum was found
to be still- forcing its way to the sur-
face through the soil on the outside of
the pipe in the water well. Samples
were sent to various experts for opin-
ions and in. a few days the experts
were wending toward Corsicana. The
oil was found to be nearly equal in
quality to 'the crude oil of Pennsyl-
vania and several parties were anxious
to develop it.
Right in the supposed trrck of the
rich oil current lay a block of about
1000 acres of land, just out of town,
owned by Senator R. Q. Mills, who
was then at, Washington wrestling
with the sugar trust and other com-
bines and monopolies.
He was too busy fighting the trusts
of the country to lend a helping hand
. ,Itoward organizing or making himself
part of one at his own home, and he
warned his friends against becoming
too enthusiastic over their oil fields,
which could be rendered worthless to
them in a. moment by the Standard Oil
Company, the greatest of all trusts.
When he came home the siege upon
him was renewed, and he repeated his
warning, declining at first to do any-
thing toward-developing his land. Fi-
nally, he yielded and permitted his
friend, Capt. James Garrity, a free s-ll-
ver president of a national bank, to
and Indiana.

A SMUGGLER'S TRICK.
Paste Diamonds Made to Serve Many Val-
uable Ones. I
“All thistalk about smuggling re-
calls some of the things I learned
when I was in theservice,” announced
a. retired crook catcher the other day."
“New ways of beating the government
are being devised right along and
many of the tricks I discovered are
old now. There used to be' more trou-
ble with the diamond smugglers than
there appears to be at present. I have
found the sparklers in women’s back
hair, hat ornaments, hollowed shoe
heels and sewed up in various articles
of wear; in dog collars, in horses’
hoofs, in fruits and vegetables, in
trunks with false bottoms, in pipes and
cigars, in canes, on the necks of car-
rier pigeons and even buried in men’s
flesh after the manner of the Kaflir
diamond thieves. . ;
“But the man who did the slickest
business, without ever being suspected,
told me about it afterwards. He was
a retired detective who had served
with great credit. Shortly before re-
signing he claimed to have received a
beautiful diamond ring with three very
large stones, from a New Yorker for
whom he 'had been able to save a good
deal of money. It was certainly a
magnificent ring and the matter was
duly exploited in the papers. He pro—
fessed to be doing a private business,
that took him across the river frequent
ly, and he would often use the ferry
three or four times a day. He always
wore the dazzling ring and-I looked at
it every day for months. Yet that fel-
low was making big money smuggling
diamonds.
“How? Why, he had a paste ring
made exactly like the genuine one. He
would wear the paste one over, leave
it to be set with diamonds, wear them
back, have them replaced with paste,
and thus carry on the game right be-
fore our admiringeyes. . We never
suspected the rascal.” *
HOW ONE WOMAN GREW RICH.
A More [Treasury Clerk, She Bought a
Fine House and Rode in Her Carriage.
The case of Thomas Martin, the
Treasurer employee who was arrested
on a charge of substituting lead slugs
for silver in the Treasury’s bullion,
recalls that of a woman clerk years
ago who became rich by theft and es-
caped punishment when detected. She
was employed in counting bank notes
sent in for redemption and destruction.
A bunch containing a certain num-
ber of bills of a given denomination
all showing the effect of long and
rough usage would be given her to
count. She would begin at the top of
the stack and, after turning over the
first few would tear an inch or so off
a bill.
In a few seconds she would tear two
or three inches off another bill and
paste on this the small piece torn from
the first bill. By this process of tear-
ing and pasting she would soon have
a whole bill abstracted and in its place
a number of shortened notes, but none
so mutilated as to attract attention.
.The bunch ascounted would be correct
in every detail.
It was estimated that in this man-
ner she abstracted one note in every
ten that she handled. The woman be-
"Came rich, bought a fine residence and
drove to the department each morning
in her private carriage. Her sumptu-
ous mode of living was her undoing.
Her house was searched and a large
sum in bills found. However, all the
bills she had mutilated had long be-
fore been macerated, and not the
slightest bit of evidence could be found
on which to base a criminal charge.
After making restitution of what cash
had been recovered she was permitted
to go free. -
The idea on which she based her
thefts and the manner of its execution
are to this day the admiration of
Treasury officials and experts—New
York World.
EARLY AMERICAN 'BIS‘HOPS.
They Were Obliged to” Travel to London
for Consecration.
The London News, writing of the
conference of the Anglican prelates re-
cently held at Lambet'h, says:
“Before the war of the American in-
dependence the American Episcopal-
ians who were connected with the Eng-
lish church were never suffered to
have a Bishop amongst them, but re-
mained under the jurisdiction of the
Bishop of London. The rite of con-
firmation was unknown, and every
candidate for ordination was obliged to
travel to England. Out of fifty-two
candidates who came from America
for ordination in 1767, ten died on the
voyage. At length, after the United
States had been declared independent,
Dr. Seabury was ordained Bishop of
Connecticut by the Primus and Bish-
ops of Scotland, the prelates of the
English church having refused to con-
