The Catastrophe Occurs at North Pacific Cannery on the Skeena River. Nine Houses Swept Away- Thirteen Bodies Have Been Recovered. Washouts in North Dakota Cause Considerable Delay to Trains. Special to the Globe. Nanaimo, B. C, July 12. The steamer Princess Louise arrived this morning from Skeena and brings news of a terrible landslide on the banks of the Skeena river at the North Pacific cannery, resulting in the death of oue woman and about forty Indians. From Charles Hovers, a passeugre on the steamer and a witness of the disaster, 1 learn the following details: At a quarter of 6 o'clock on the morning of the Tth inst. those workingat and residing near the North Pacific cannery, at Skeena river, heard a great rushing noise in the di- rection of the high, steep mountain at the back of the cannery. In a moment an avalanche of rocks and earth and trees was upon the doomed settlement, carrying everything before it into a slough close to the cannery. The occu- pants of the houses had time to get out- side of the building, but before they could escape from the advancing Torrent ofDebris were caught and carried along at a fear- ful velocity. In all, nine houses, with their occupants, were destroyed, in- cluding the mess house and residence of the foreman of the cannery. In the mess room at the time of the catastrophe was the young Swedish wife of the foreman. She was carried along in the mad and deathly current. Mvinformant is not certain of the name of"ihe foreman, but b-lieves it to be either Nelson or Johnson. He was formerly in charge of the British Colum- bia cannery, but since the syn- dicate bought out these canneries he has been in charge of the North Pacific. Indians claim that among those destroyed were about forty Indians of the Port Simpson, Sitka, ttetlakatlah and Kilimat tribes, all of whom are surely killed, Up to the time your informant left, two days after the slide, thirteen bodies of the Indians had been recovered and takeu to Port Essington for burial. The body of the foreman's wife had not been recov- ered, but there was not the slightest hope for any living thing within the range of The Terrible Slide ot boulders, rocks, trees and earth. The siide just missed the cannery buildings by about two feet. Some of the loose earth actually scraped the corner of the building, ln the cannery building were the foreman and about sixty Indians getting ready to receive the boats, which were expected, as it was slack at the time. Had the slide struck the can- nery or occurred half an hour before, when all the people would have been in the houses, the death roll would have reached 100 persons. It had been rain- ing in torrents for the previous four days, and it is thought that the accu- mulation of water in the ravines on the mountain sides broke away, car- rying death and destruction in its way. The buildings destroyed consisted of log and frame houses, the mess room being a large building. The North Pa- cific creamery is owned by an English syndicate. The Indians are greatly ex- cited over the disaster and are mourn- ing bitterly for their dead. The boats and crews were fortunately out of reach of the slide. BIG DAKOTA WASHOUTS. The Greatest Inconvenience Since the Seventies. Specials to tbe Globe. Dickinson, N. D., July 12.—The worst washouts known since the seven- ties were experienced here from the rain of last night. All trains are delayed. The first passenger train from the East in thirty hours will be that to-morrow. Heavy forces are repairing the track east and west. The streams are still coming up and liable to do more dam- age. Itrains again to-night. Manpan, N. 1)., July 12.— heavy rains of last night and this morning washed out a number of culverts and small bridges and the track between here and Medora, and as a result two west-bound trains are belated here. Three hundred trackmen are putting the track and bridges in order. Passen- gers are admiring the scenery and eu- joying themselves, with the prospect of leaving town to-morrow, Intown the sidewalks are all strewn over the streets and a number of cellars full. Marcus Daly, of Montana, has been here all day, but left to-night on the east-bound train to look after his car- load of fast horses, which are on the west-bound passenger train due here to-morrow morning. He told a reporter to-night that he would unload them when they got here, and let them eat North Dakota hay and breathe Mandau air for a week. Daly has been uneasy all day, and is" fearful that some trouble will come to his pets. Allthe bridges over the Heart river are safe, though the river is running bank full. Fargo, N. D., July 12,— A terrific electrical storm visited this section of the state about 3:30 this morning. So far as obtainable no damage was done except at the Fargo Congregational col- lege, which was struck by lightning and the coping over the main entrance badly shattered. About $150 will cover the damage. Hail is reported in Ran- som county, but the extent of the dam- age is not known. HE SAVED HIS SON, But Was Himself Fatally Injured in the Act. Lake George, N. V., Juiy T.W. Barney, superintendent of the Lake George & Lake Cham plain Transporta- tion company, was drowned near the Kenesaw Fourteen-Mile island on Lake George to-day. The particulars of the story are as follows: A few days ago Mr. and Mrs. Barney and a son and a sister of Mrs. Barney went Into camp on the east shore of Fourteen-Mile island. They enjoyed life pleasantly in their summer home until to-day. This afternoon while Mr. Barney and his boy were on the lake shore the little fellow lost his footing, and with the cry of "Father, save me." on his lips, pitched into the water. The father threw him- self head first ' into the lake, gr-^peJ the boy, aud with the lad ;' iii '__{ nia arms, was drawn ashore by two men who chanced to witness the accident. A dance sufficed to tell the story. The forehead of the father had been crushed in by a projecting rock, which he must have struck under the water. Medical aid was summoned as quickly as possible. The man who had given his life that his son might live was dead before the physi- cians reached the island. Mrs. Barney is heartbroken, and as yet hardly real- izes the rescue of her son, followed so quickly by the death of her husband. The body was taken on board the steamer Uoricon and conveyed to the foot of the lake. A special train met the steamer at Baldwin, and to-night the steamer Chateazuay will arrive at Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain and convey the body to Burlington, Vt. Flags are at half mast all along Lake George and from Fort Ticonderoga to Burlington on Lake Chaplain. The dead man was a man of strong character and represented interests in which millions are involved. He was about forty-five years old. The news of the sudden death will be received with great sorrow. Marines Asphyxiated. Boston, July 12.— Three deserters are reported from the U. S. S. Boston and five from the U. S. S. Atlanta. H. S. Stron and Axel Janssen, head cook fand gunner, respectively, on the flagship Newark, registered at a hotel in the West End. They were called at 5 o'clock and responded to the call, but at 10 o'clock a chambermaid entered the room and found the men uncon- scious from escaping gas. Janssen was dead, and Stron, who was removed to the Massachusetts general hospital, may die. - Valuable Horses Burned. Philadelphia, July 12.— The livery and boarding stable belonging to Sam- uel Loughery at No. 32 Harvey street, Germantown, was completely destroyed by fire early this morning, together with its contents.

SAVED A LYNCHING. A Cold-Blooded Murder Quickly Followed by Suicide. St. Lovis, July 12.—Murder and self- slaughter were this morning committed at Toos, nine miles southwest of here. Frank Bacleman, the teacher of the Catholic church, aud Joseph Frank were coming from mass when Frank !fired at Racleman with a revolver. The |bullet took effect, but did not kill, itbe- ing lett to the second shot to accom- plish that result. Frank, when in the presence of 100 or more people, turned the revolver and took his own life. Had he not done so he would have been lynched, for the crowd was in a mood for lynching being greatly incensed at what was con- sidered a cold-blooded crime. No reason can be assigned for the deed. EDITORS IN CHICAGO. They Are Well Cared for by the Garden City Fraternity.

Seven Persons So Severely -Scalded and Burned That They Die. A Broken Check Valve Per- mits Steam to Escape Into a Coach. Twenty-Two of the Twenty- Five Passengers at the Mercy ofthe Steam. Aspen, Col., July 12. A horrible catastrophe occurred at Aspen Junc- tion, ou the Colorado Midland road, at 12 o'clock this morning, that has filled many once happy homes in this beauti- ful valley with desolation and death. A collision occurred between a Midland locomotive and the hind coach of the daylight excursion between Aspen and Glenwood Springs. The coachload of people returning from the springs, where a few pleasant hours had been spent, was suddenly plunged into all the horrors of a frightful railroad acci- dent, which resulted in killing two peo- ple outright, inflicting fatal injuries to five more and severely scalding and burning six others. Engineer Swit- zer, of the excursion train, had run his train up to the water tank at the junc- tion for water. When backing down to get on the main track line, a light en- gine shot out from the coal chutes, which are located in such a way as to conceal the engine tracks from the view of the tracks leading to the water tank. The engineer on the light engine.think- ing he could get out before the excur- sion train took the main track, made the attempt, but struck the rear coach of the excursion train at the switch. The force of the collision tore the check valve from the engine and poured scald- ing steam aud water into the wrecked coachload of people. Then ensued a scene of terror impossible to describe. The passengers were at the mercy of the Koariiig. Screeching Monster at their side. Through the broken valves torrents of scalding steam poured out on the helpless victims. Of the twenty-five passengers in the car, three colored men who were in the rear compartment were the only ones unin- jured. Conductor Miller, with the un- injured passengers, immediately began the work of rescue. A two-year-old child of Frank Ellis, of Aspen, was taken out dead. Miss Annie Phelan died ten minutes after being rescued. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Leonard, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ellis, Thomas O'Donnell, Miss Mary O'Donnell. James Lynch, all of Aspen; Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Rogers, of Woody, Col.; Mrs. J. C. Baldwin, of Glenwood, and Mrs. L. Willoughby, of Glenwood, were frightfully scalded and burned. The injured and dead were placed in the baggage car and brought to this city, where all the physicians in the city were in atten-. dance, and every possible aid was given to the injured. Tne victims' cries of agony were heartrending, and the scalded faces and arms and bodies a sight to bring tears of pity, Inspite of all efforts to save their lives, Mrs. Frank Ellis, Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs. Willoughby died within two hours from the time of the wreck. Mrs. Rogers died at 5 o'clock this morn- ing and her husband at 10 o'clock. Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs. Willoughby were the most frightfully burned. The latter begged piteously to be kept alive until her husband could reach her. Of those still living, Miss O'Donnell will die. Inhaled Scalding Strain. It is hoped the others will recover, although the inhaling of the scalding steam may result more seriously than at present anticipated. While the in- jured people were at Aspen junction the person of Mrs. A. B. Rogers was robbed of a gold watch and chain and also $120 in money. There were also other robberies reported, but not au- thenticated. With a warrant sworn out by R. A. Ropham before Judge Prentiss. Marshal Sutton went to Aspen Junction and arrested J. G. Kuhn, clerk at the railroad eating house, charging him with the robbery. Marshal Sutton vow has his prisoner in the county jail. He disclaims all knowledge of the money, but says he was requested by Mrs. Rogers "to take her pocketbook from her dress and hand it to some one standing near, whom she recognized but could not reach. Kuhn claims he did this. He turned the watch and some other trinkets over to the proprietor of the hotel, and disclaims all intention of robbery. MOUNTAIN OP A MOLE HILL- Temper ofa Very Bumptious Con- sul in Sicily. Washington, July 12.—The facts in the case of the rumored violation of the United States consul at Catania, Sicily, as reported In yesterday's cable dis- patches, are as follows: Alawsuit had been instituted against Charles Heath, the consul at that place, and the local authorities in serving pro- cess upon him entered the consulate, which Mr. Heath considered an in- fringement of his rights as consul and a violation of the sanctity of the consulate. He, therefore, recom- mended to the department of state that the consulate be closed and that tne archives be placed in the hands of a competent person. Upon receipt of this information the department requested Mr. Whitehouse, the charge d'affaires, to make a full investigation of the mat- ters at issue and to report the re- sults of his Inquiry, v Pending the making of this report Mr. Whitehouse reported by cable that the local authorities had assured him that no further steps would be taken in the matter of the law suit until he (Mr. . Whitehouse) had had ample opportunity to make a fullinvestigation of the facts in the case. The consul was in- structed by the department not to close the consulate under any circumstances. The contention of the local authorities with respect to the consul's com- plaint of infringement is, it is un- derstood, that the process was served in the private and not the official part of consulate, and that there was, there- fore, no violation of the sanctity of the consulate. Two Double Drownings. Chicago, July 12. Two double drownings occurred among Chicago pic- nickers to-day. Within sight ofhun- dreds of merrymakers at Columbia park, John McNeff, who was rowing with Miss Lucy Kazer, capsized the boat by leaning too far after a lost oar and both drowned. McNeff was a married man, and liis body was brought home to his wii'4. The shock unbalanced her mind, it is feared permanently. The other double tragedy was at Lake Calumet. Two ten-year-olds, Leslie Young and Henrjf. Campbell, got beyond their depth while:' bathing. "Jf! V.! THE AMERICAN HOG. fe« '\u25a0- -\ He Is Being Vigorously Discussed'] by the French. Paris, July 12.— A council of mini**! ters was held at the Elysee palace ye# j terday to discuss the rescinding of the. decree against American pork. M. da^ Velle, the minister of agriculture, adv*" cated the withdrawal of prohibitions. j He asked M. Constans if the ministers doubted the expediency of directing the superior council of hygiene to niafca an examination and report on th« subject. M. Constans and M. Ribot fa- vored rescinding the decree. Itwas agreed to refer the matter to the coun- cil of hygiene. United States Minister Reid is preparing for a prompt decision in the matter, if possible before the ad- journment of the chamber of deputies, now expected within ten days. M.Viger, -deputy chairman of the subcommittee on customs, says the superior council of agriculture will also consider the xuestion. He is a member of the coun- cil, which has been supplied with in- formation as to the United States meat inspection regvlations, and says he 9 il" do what he can to get the decree abol- ished. Dr. Pietra Santa, secretary of the Society of Hygiene, a different body from the official council of hygiene, but having much influence there joins in the efforts to rescind the pro- hibition. Reports received here that the German government is about to withdraw the prohibition in Germany ought to hasten French action.

The czar and czarina will welcome the French squadron at Cronstadt on July 23d, and will attend a banquet on board the Magenta. The czarina and the scarewitch are officially expected to visit Paris in September. A fire in Toulouse to-day devastated part ot the Saint Cyprien quarter. The damage is immense. Several firemen were injured. Lemp's Beer. Texas Sittings. "Whose beer is this?" asked a rather shabby-looking man of a New York bar- keeper, as he blew the foam off the top of a schooner. "It's Lemp's beer," replied the bar- keeper. "Ah, it's Lemp's, is it? I must have some more of it." Another schooner disappeared. "Whose beer did 1 understand yoa to say this was?" "Lemp's." "Ah,it's really good," and the third schooner promptly reinforced the for- mer. "So itis Lemp's, is it?" "Yes; I told you twice." "Well, just mention to Lemp when you see him that I have had three schooners of his incomparable beer," and he strolled out just in time to miss being overtaken by the bungstarter. m Bill Tinkerson's Wife. Texas Sifiings. Jim Sniverly had been absent from Austin for several years. He returned not long since, and one of the first men .he met was Bill Tinkerson. They had just taken a social drink, when Bill re- marked: "Do you remember Sally Jane Ben- derley?" "That great big, gawky, red-headed girl with freckles as big as a dime all over her nose, who limped and was uglier than a crazy quilt?" "Yes—that's the cal." "Ofcourse I remember her. Nobody could forget her. Itis impossible to duplicate a face like that. She had a mouth like a catfish and a smile iike an open valise. What of her?" "O, nothing; except she is my wife. -.o. Smashed a Record.* Chicago. July 12.—Guido, at Wash- ington Park yesterday, in winning the mile heat race, smashed a turf record of ten years' standing.

The Hotel St. Louis, Duluth, Is Scorched at an Un- seemly Hour. ANutmeg" State Man Arrested for Ringing a Church Bell %1^ on the Fourth. ye- yr* yr7> , Patriotic Citizens, Their Wives and Daughters, Demand His Release. A General Ail-Around Boy- . cott of Those Interested \ in the Arrest. Special to the Globe. Duluth, Minn., July 13.—Just before midnight fire was discovered ma room in the upper story of the St. Louis hotel, which is used as a lodge room by the Elks' fraternity. The fire department was summoned at once, but the fire had got too great a start, and in a few min- utes the entire upper story was one mass of flames. The building has six stories and is very hard to reach with the hose. A general alarm was rung in. and in a tew minutes the entire fire department was on the scene. Great confusion pre- vailed for a while. People half-clad rushed from the house in great excitement with bundles in their hands, just the little clothing that would be hastily gathered together as they rushed from their rooms. There is no report of loss of life as yet, though several had narrow escapes. The fire- men ran up the tire escapes and faced the fire bravely with the hose. The pressure of the water on Superior street, where the hotel stands, is very great, and they hope to save the block. The St. Louis is tne second largest hotel in the city, and is worth at least 8200,000. It is situated between Third and Fourth avenues east in the thick of the business pait of the city, within one block of the Spalding. By 1 o'clock the new part of the hotel was entirely de- stroyed, but the rest of the block will probably be saved. The total loss, in- cluding furniture, etc., will not be much less than $150,000. It is well insured. The building is owned by the Boston Realty company. -*vv * "'..--A MADE A HERO OF HIM. * Connecticut People Stand by a Patriotic Bell Ringer. Birmingham, Conn., July 12.—Hunt- ington Center is still greatly agitated over the action of the sexton and* the warden of St. Paul's Episcopal church in having Olin P. Shelton arrested for ringing the church bell on July 4. The excitement has stirred the entire village iar beyond anything that was antici- pated, and the sexton and his ecclesias- tical backer are subjects of much ridi- cule. Theodore E. Beard is the warden who appeared as complainant * agaiust Shelton. On the side of Shelton, how- ever, are all the patriotic citizens of the Center, all the matrons and all the girls, besides the boys ofhis clique. This morn- ing the first outburst of the feeling that had long been working below the sur- face was seen in the form of a notice from the proprietor of Wheeler's hall, the theater of the little hamlet. The warden was informed thereby that St. Paula Episcopal church could never again use the hall for any purpose what- soever unless the charges were with- drawn. The hall has always been^ reutedto the church at 25 per cent dis- count, but Sidney Laborie has his New England patriotism way up. The next hot shot came from the fair damsels of the vicinity. Of course all of Shelton's friends have sweethearts, and it so hap- pened that all these young women were active workers in St. Paul's church. They were boiling with rage when they heard of the arrest of Shelton, and like true-hearted American girls, with the love of country even above the interest of their church, they notified the pastor that they would never help one jot nor little in any church entertain- ment until the charges were withdrawn. Then came the village barber, Ephraim Laborie, and went direct to the church warden and to the sexton, Seth W. Lindsley, and told them both that never would he shave either, nor shonld they enter the shop unless both men with- draw their counts against Shelton. These are only a few instances of the feeling against the two men. Beard has withdrawn from the case in conse- quence, but Lindsley still holds out, and says he will fightit out on this line if it takes all summer. The grand jury- man, L. V. B. Hubbard, who made out the papers for the arrest of Shelton, has been strongly censured, for he is a Grand Army man. Shelton Is out on bail, and his case will not come up until next Friday. He has received many congratulatory telegrams and letters and offers of help from lawyers. BIG OPIUM SEIZURE. *\u25a0 A Chest of the Drug Shipped as Carpenter's Tools. Chicago, July 12.— opium cap- ture was effected last night to which the police and United States officials at- tach a great deal of importance. Spe- cial Treasury Agent J. J. Crowley has had a suspicion that opium was being smuggled into the city and sold to the Chinese laundiies. Last night he caused the arrest of John Reynolds at the Phoenix hotel while the latter was in the act of receiving a chest from the the union depot containing 260 pounds of opium, valued at $20 a pound. Reydolds claimed to be a carpenter, and the chest \u25a0 con- taining the drug appeared tobe a chest of carpenters' tools. Inthe top of the chest were a few tools, but the release of a false bottom «disclosed the opium. The prisoner is about thirty-five years old and says he has been in the city but two days; The officers think, inasmuch as the chest came from the West, that he is acting in conjunction with a regu- larly organized gang ou the Pacific slope and has been doing a large busi- ness in the city. Had not the capture taken place last night, it is thought Rey- nolds would have disposed of the entire quantity before this morning at a hand- some profit. The government officials think the arrest will break up the entire gang. S Onslaught by Strikers. Chicago, July 12.—An onslaught was made last night on nine itfugshweoien iiiun ml irimTTrftr^mii-^Tmi'-^eapra---,,?-..^^,-^!^-^ as they left the Transit docks and moved toward Rush street bridge. A great throng of strikers an 1 their sym- pathizers followel on the heels of the procession until after the bridge was crossed, when the attack was male, notwithstanding the heavy police es- cort. Many of the men vrers hit before the police could drive back the assault- ing column. Four of the strikers were arrested and taken to the patrol box by- two officers. POISONED HER HUBBY. The Paris Green of Pittsburg Ap- parently Strong Enough. Pittsburg, Pa., July 12.—Mrs. Mar- tin Farrell, a wealthy woman ot this city, was arrested to-night on a charge of poisoning her husband. The couple were married about five years ago, but have never lived happily together, the bone of contention being a fortune of $60,000 left to Mrs. Farrell, which she has persistently held in her own name. Some time ago they parted, but the quarrel was made up, aud yesterday she returned to his home. - They spent the night in drinking, and this morning Mrs. Farrell arose to get her husband a bottle of beer. While his back was turned, itis alleged, she poured a lot of Paris green into the bottle and gave it to him to drink. He drained the bottle, and is now dying. Mrs. Farrell was ar- rested, and is now in jail. She denies the charge. . Nearly a pound of the poison was discovered in the house, and a considerable portion of it was found upon her clothing. The physicians say Farrell cannot recover. ' She Will Dance No More. St. Louis, July 12.— At a colored dance held at Kahokia, 111., a small hamlet across the river, two of the men present became engaged in a quarrel this morning as to whom should be favored by a woman who was undecided to which one to give a dance. Finally one of the negroes drew a revolver and tired at his antagonist, but not before the woman had thrown herself across the breast of the object of the revolver's bullet. The man's life was saved, but the woman, whose name is Catherine Brooks, was mortally wounded, the ball entering hei back and passing nearly through her body. Murdered His Brother. Buteer, Pa., July 12.— Adam Min- inger fired five bullets into the body of his brother, John Mininger, inJefferson towuship last night, fatally wounding him. Four of the shots took effect in his head, and the other entered' his breast above the heart. He cannot re- cover. Bad blood has existed between the two brothers for some time. Last night John drove to Adam's barn to feed his horse. Adam refused him permis- sion to do so. He then insulted Adam's wife and advanced toward his brother in a threatening manner, when Adam fired with the above result. Two Shots, Two Funerals. Joliet, 111., July 12.— A double trag- edy occurred here this evening at 6 o'clock. Gust Swedeberg, who has been drunk since the Fourth of July, came into Mrs. Hedberg's house, where he boarded, took down a shotgun and de- liberately shot Mrs. Hedberg in the head, killing her instantly.

This, at least, is the story obtained around the world's fair headquarters.

Chippewas Get Into a State of Mind at White Earth Res- : ervation. They Are Said to Have' Blood in Their Eyes and Murder 1 in Their Hearts, The Police Add Fuel to Their Anger by Tearing Down a Building. Mrs. Christian Jansen, of Den- mark, Catches Her Bad Hubby inMilwaukee. Special to the Globe. White Earth, Minn., July 12.—The situation here is so serious that it is feared Gen. Merritt will have to send two or three companies of the Third regiment to the White Earth reserva- tion to prevent a riot and possible mas- sacre. The Chippewas have been in a state of revolt for several weeks. Yes- terday a delegation of Leech lake In- dians came here to confer, and soon after their * arrival joined in a wild dance with the White Earth red men. The police became alarmed at the threatening outlook and to stop the dance tore down the hall in which the orgy of the savages was takiug place. The Indians were highly incensed over the interference, and have been holding meetings to-day with a view to getting revenge. The dissat- isfaction of the Indians has resulted from the tardiness of the Chippewa commission in the matter of allotment of land, and the non-payment, by the government of several hundred thou- sand dollars damages occasioned by big overflows in the construction of the upper Mississippi reservoirs. So much cash per capita was promised the Indians, and the government's in- timation that it proposed to settle the debt in stock and agricultural implements has so incensed them that they are in a mood to commit almost any outrage. Chief White Cloud is on the ground trying to pre- vent an outbreak, although he has writ- ten the interior department that his tribe will not submit to the payment of anything except money for their ruined rice fields. v FINALLY CAUGHT HIM. A Denmark Woman. Follows Her Husband to Milwaukee.

Two years ago Jansen. who is thirty-five years of age, deserted his wife and five children and disappeared from his native town in Denmark, to- gether with Josephine Thompson, a maiden of nineteen years, in the old country Jansen amassed a small fortune through his invention of a knitting ma- chino, and left his wife in comfortable circumstances. Immediately following her husband's disappearance Mrs. Jan- sen engaged detectives to trace him, and after nearly two years he was located in Chicago. As soon as she learned of his whereabouts Mrs. Jansen started, to- gether with her five children, from Den- mark for Chicago. In some way Jansen learned of her coming and last Monday he left Chicago. Through the Chicago police she located him here. There was a lively scene when the husband and wife met. He admitted all. but said he could never live with his wife again. UNDER INSPECTION. First Regiment Reviewed hy 3laj. Wilhelm, of the Regular Army. Special to the Globe. Lake City, Minn., July 12.— The principal event of the day was the in- spection by Maj. Wilhelm, of the United States army. The equipments were found in good condition generally. The First regiment is to be credited for the good showing made to-day. Dress parade this evening was commanded by Capt, Bean, who has s*erved just ten years as captain of Company D. He was complimented by a call from Com- pany A, and responded feelingly to an address of congratulation by Capt. Ames. Gen.

Special to the Globe.Nanaimo, B. C, July 12.

— Thesteamer Princess Louise arrived thismorning from Skeena and brings newsof a terrible landslide on the banks ofthe Skeena river at the North Pacificcannery, resulting in the death ofoue woman and about forty Indians.From Charles Hovers, a passeugreon the steamer and a witnessof the disaster, 1 learn thefollowingdetails: At a quarter of 6

o'clock on the morning of the Tth inst.those workingat and residing near theNorth Pacific cannery, at Skeena river,heard a great rushing noise in the di-rection of the high, steep mountain at

the back of the cannery. Ina momentan avalanche of rocks and earth andtrees was upon the doomed settlement,carrying everything before it into aslough close to the cannery. The occu-pants of the houses had time to get out-side of the building,but before theycould escape from the advancing

Torrent ofDebriswere caught and carried along at a fear-ful velocity. Inall, nine houses, withtheir occupants, were destroyed, in-cluding the mess house and residenceof the foreman of the cannery. Inthe mess room at the time ofthe catastrophe was the young Swedishwife of the foreman. She was carriedalong inthe mad and deathly current.Mvinformant is not certain of the nameof"ihe foreman, but b-lieves it to beeither Nelson or Johnson. He wasformerly incharge of the British Colum-bia cannery, but since the syn-dicate bought out these cannerieshe has been in charge of theNorth Pacific. Indians claim thatamong those destroyed were about fortyIndians of the Port Simpson, Sitka,

ttetlakatlah and Kilimat tribes, all ofwhom are surely killed, Up to the timeyour informant left, two days after theslide, thirteen bodies of the Indians hadbeen recovered and takeu to PortEssington for burial. The body ofthe foreman's wife had not been recov-ered, but there was not the slightesthope for any living thing within therange of

The Terrible Slide

ot boulders, rocks, trees and earth. Thesiide just missed the cannery buildingsby about two feet. Some of the looseearth actually scraped the corner of thebuilding, ln the cannery buildingwerethe foreman and about sixty Indiansgetting ready to receive the boats,which were expected, as it was slack at

the time. Had the slide struck the can-nery or occurred half an hour before,when all the people would have been inthe houses, the death roll would havereached 100 persons. It had been rain-ing in torrents for the previous fourdays, and itis thought that the accu-mulation of water in the ravineson the mountain sides broke away, car-rying death and destruction in its way.The buildings destroyed consisted oflogand frame houses, the mess roombeing a large building. The North Pa-cificcreamery is owned by an Englishsyndicate. The Indians are greatly ex-cited over the disaster and are mourn-ingbitterly for their dead. The boatsand crews were fortunately out ofreach of the slide.

Mercy ofthe Steam.

Aspen, Col., July 12.—

A horriblecatastrophe occurred at Aspen Junc-tion, ou the Colorado Midland road, at12o'clock this morning, that has filledmany once happy homes in this beauti-fulvalley with desolation and death. Acollision occurred between a Midlandlocomotive and the hind coach of thedaylight excursion between Aspenand Glenwood Springs. The coachloadof people returning from the springs,where a few pleasant hours had beenspent, was suddenly plunged into allthe horrors of a frightful railroad acci-dent, which resulted in killing two peo-ple outright, inflicting fatal injuriesto five more and severely scaldingand burning six others. Engineer Swit-zer, of the excursion train, had run histrain up tothe water tank at the junc-tion for water. When backing down toget on the main track line, a light en-gine shot out from the coal chutes,

which are located in such a way as toconceal the engine tracks from the viewof the tracks leading to the water tank.The engineer on the light engine.think-inghe could get out before the excur-sion train took the main track, madethe attempt, but struck the rear coachof the excursion train at the switch.The force of the collision tore the checkvalve from the engine and poured scald-ing steam aud water into the wreckedcoachload of people. Then ensued ascene of terror impossible to describe.The passengers were at the mercy ofthe

Koariiig.Screeching Monster

at their side. Through the brokenvalves torrents of scalding steampoured out on the helpless victims. Ofthe twenty-five passengers in the car,three colored men who were in the rearcompartment were the only ones unin-jured.

Alawsuit had been instituted againstCharles Heath, the consul at that place,and the local authorities in serving pro-cess upon him entered the consulate,which Mr. Heath considered an in-fringement of his rights as consuland a violation of the sanctity ofthe consulate. He, therefore, recom-mended to the department of statethat the consulate be closed and that tnearchives be placed in the hands of acompetent person. Upon receipt of thisinformation the department requestedMr. Whitehouse, the charge d'affaires,to make a full investigation of the mat-ters at issue and to report the re-sults of his Inquiry, v Pendingthe making of this report Mr.Whitehouse reported by cable that thelocal authorities had assured him thatno further steps would be taken in thematter of the law suit until he (Mr..Whitehouse) had had ample opportunityto make a fullinvestigation of the factsin the case. The consul was in-structed by the department not to closethe consulate under any circumstances.The contention of the local authoritieswith respect to the consul's com-plaint of infringement is, it is un-derstood, that the process was served inthe private and not the official part ofconsulate, and that there was, there-fore, no violation of the sanctity of theconsulate.

"'..--AMADE A HERO OF HIM. *

Connecticut People Stand by aPatriotic Bell Ringer.

Birmingham, Conn., July 12.—Hunt-ington Center is still greatly agitatedover the action of the sexton and* thewarden of St. Paul's Episcopal churchin having Olin P. Shelton arrested forringing the church bell on July 4. Theexcitement has stirred the entire villageiar beyond anything that was antici-pated, and the sexton and his ecclesias-tical backer are subjects of much ridi-cule. Theodore E. Beard is the wardenwho appeared as complainant * agaiustShelton. On the side of Shelton, how-ever, are all the patriotic citizens of theCenter, all the matrons and all the girls,besides the boys ofhis clique. This morn-ing the firstoutburst of the feeling thathad long been working below the sur-face was seen in the form of a noticefrom the proprietor of Wheeler's hall,the theater of the little hamlet. Thewarden was informed thereby that St.Paula Episcopal church could neveragain use the hall forany purpose what-soever unless the charges were with-drawn. The hall has always been^reutedto the church at 25 per cent dis-count, but Sidney Laborie has his NewEngland patriotism way up. The nexthot shot came from the fair damsels ofthe vicinity. Of course all of Shelton'sfriends have sweethearts, and itso hap-pened that all these young women wereactive workers in St. Paul's church.They were boiling with rage when theyheard of the arrest of Shelton, and liketrue-hearted American girls, with thelove of country even above the interestof their church, they notified the pastorthat they would never help onejotnor little in any church entertain-ment until the charges were withdrawn.Then came the village barber, EphraimLaborie, and went direct to the churchwarden and to the sexton, Seth W.Lindsley, and told them both that neverwould he shave either, nor shonld theyenter the shop unless both men with-draw their counts against Shelton.These are only a few instances of thefeeling against the two men. Beardhas withdrawn from the case inconse-quence, but Lindsley still holds out,and says he will fightit out on this lineifittakes all summer. The grand jury-man, L. V. B. Hubbard, who made outthe papers for the arrest of Shelton, hasbeen strongly censured, for he is aGrand Armyman. Shelton Is out onbail, and his case willnot come up untilnext Friday. He has received manycongratulatory telegrams and lettersand offers of help from lawyers.

BIG OPIUM SEIZURE. *\u25a0

A Chest of the Drug Shipped asCarpenter's Tools.

Chicago, July 12.— opium cap-ture was effected last night to whichthe police and United States officials at-tach a great deal of importance. Spe-cial Treasury Agent J. J. Crowley hashad a suspicion that opium was beingsmuggled into the city and sold to theChinese laundiies. Last night hecaused the arrest of John Reynolds atthe Phoenix hotel while the latter wasin the act of receiving a chest from thethe union depot containing 260pounds of opium, valued at $20a pound. Reydolds claimed to bea carpenter, and the chest \u25a0 con-taining the drug appeared tobe a chestof carpenters' tools. Inthe top of thechest were a few tools, but the releaseofa false bottom «disclosed the opium.The prisoner is about thirty-five yearsold and says he has been in the citybuttwo days; The officers think,inasmuchas the chest came from the West, thathe is acting in conjunction witha regu-larly organized gang ou the Pacificslope and has been doing a large busi-ness in the city. Had not the capturetaken place last night,it is thought Rey-nolds would have disposed of the entirequantity before this morning at a hand-some profit.
