Early Wednes­ day morning 400 strikers swooped down upon tho Youngstown works of the Frick company, completely surprised and captured almost every one of the seventy workingmen and deputies,, mnd took them with tliem without firing a shot. The attack was a complete sur­ prise to both operators and guards. At 7:30 o'clock a terrific yell broke the quiet of the valley, and 400 or more strik­ ers rushed upon the works from all sides. The men at work did not take a second look at the attacking forces, but drop­ ping their tools ran to the company store, taking- refuge in the second story of the building. The guards had bare­ ly time to seize their guns and meet the raiders at the store door. The strikers excitedly and determinedly de­ manded the surrender of the men in the building at once, threatening that if refused they would make a rush, kill the guards,and destroy the stare. Afte? a short pariey the workmen surren-' dered and were received by the raiders with cheers. A few who refused to go with the mob were severely baaten.

Ten firemen lost their lives in the fire, nine of them going down to a living death by tbe fall of a roof, and the tenth baing killed by the fall of a ladder. Several others were also injured, soin9 of them it is feared fatally. Th« valuable scenery and property of the Lilliputians, whose ten days' en­ gagement at the theater was to close cn Wednesday, is all gone. Manager Rosenthal of the company says it was worth $50,000. Shortly after 5 o'clock, when the fire was seemingly under control, the thea­ ter roof, on which a score or more fire-, men stood as they fought the flames, went down, and the brave men were carried with it to the floor of the audi­ torium below. Some wero extricated from the furnace of flames, in which the whole interior was now enveloped, by their brave and more fortunate comrades, who riskod their lives to drag out the prostrate forms of the dead and injured men. Six. or eight men were soon brought out, and tho^e who were able to speak said there were ten or more in the ruins, where living death awaited them. For these poor fellows there was no chance. f DAVIDSON THEATER BE PORK THE TIBS. The burning roof had fallen on them, and they were roasted to death, if they had not been killed outright in that terrible plunge from the roof. A cry of horror went up from the firemen who saw the awful catastrophe. The memb rs of tho insurance patrol were covering up tho seats in the par­ quet of the theater, when suddenly a light was seen through the roof above. The men in the theater r$n back just in time, and the next moment the roof fell into the parquet of the theater. Several of the men in the theater were caught by the falling timbers. The scene that followed is never to be forgotten by those who witnessed it. For a moment all was dark, then sud­ denly a tremendous sheet of flame shot up and with it came the cries of the firemen WHO had fa'len through the roof to the theater below. One man was heavd to cry: "My God, help me. I am roasting to death." The men wero bnried under the blazing roof, and there seemed to be little hope that any would come out alive, if indeed they had not been killed by the terrible fall. An Appalling Sight* The awful fate which overtook the firemen was the more appalling because it was entirely unexpected. No one 1 dreamed that there was the least dan­ ger of the roof giving way. One in­ stant the crowds of excited spectators saw the firemen standing on *the roof pouring water on adji ining buildings and then they slowly sank out of bight. There was a groaning of timbers, a muffled crash a* the roof struck the first floor, and the flames shot up along the shattered walls with a deadly fury. Occurring at the early hour of 5 o'clock, in the midst of a driving storm of rain and sleet, the accident was in­ vested with more than ordinary hor­ rors. The firemen had gone to the roof for the purpose of directing the leads of hoje to adjoining buildings as well as to saturate the roof of the thea­ ter. Nobody believed the building was in danger. But the flames had eaten upward and undermined tho roof supports, and not until the structure began to sink beneath their-feet did the firemen know the danger that threatened them. Then there was no'escape. Before they could even shout an alarm the rooi had gone down. The men fell fifty feet and were either killed by the fall or crushed to death by the slower of bricks and stono which followed them. The immense load of debris had the effect of stifling the flames at first, but they burst out anew and mounted higher than ever. The walls of the building remained standing and made the work of rescue extremely difficult. A look into the entrance of the theater was appalling. The stage and auditorium were buried beneath piles of debris from the falling roof, over which flames swiftly ran and crackled. Peering through tbe smoke the rescuers could see a heap covered with an oilskin coat lying here and there, half hidden by the bricks and plaster. Those heaps were the b dies of the firemen, whether alive or dead the rescuing party could not tell. A fire­ man's helmet, an ax and a piece of hose could also be seen in the ruins. Several Firemen Resulted. There was trouble in getting water on the fire, which now rapidly made its way through the theater and scenery. The water was finally turned on, and several of the firemen who had fallen nearest the front door of the lobby were dragged from the burning debris and carried out more or le^s injured. The men were removed to the saloon across the street and their wounds dressed, while the other firemen brave­ ly kept at work pouring a deluge of water on the debris and trying to res­ cue others of the unlortunates. But soon no more cries wero hoard, and it was evident that all who had not been brought out must now b ) past hope. The interior of the auditorium soon became a seething mass of flames, which the firemen vainly endeavored to subdue in order to have their doomed comrades. White the frantic men were at work amidst the ruins on the floor of the parquet, the gallery be­ gan to burn, and while directing their attention to this blaze another portion of th# roof fell, making the rescue oi resh lair Hso; CAMPBELL, AROMlG, captain of ftrebcat Foley, u&marrled; taken from ruins dead* FH£)EMAN, JAMES, pipe man No. 4, 32 years old; taken from ruins dead.

Ollie Reis, a fireman, lost his life while trying to reach the roof of the theater before the roof fell. He had put a ladder from the northern wing of the hotel building, which is two stories lower than the theater proper, when the ladder swayed, and ! ae fell with it to the roof of th.e wing. He was carried away and died in the arms of his comrades. He was a mem­ ber of Engine Company No. 3. Hotel Guest* All Escape. The guests of the Davidson Hotel, which occupies a part of the building, fled panic-stricken from their rooms when the alarm of fire ran through the corridors. They really were In< no danger and had ample time to get out. No one was injured. John A. Davidson, sole owner of the theater and hotel, lives in Chicago, and was notified of the fire in t'mewto leave on the 8 o'clock train for Milwau­ kee. The Davidson hotel and theater were erected in 1890 and opened the following year. The building was one of the handsomest and most substantial in Milwaukee. The Davidson Theater, claimed to be absolutely fire proof, waj opened in September, 1891, by the Emma Juch Opera Company. Manager Sherman Brown stated, as he stood watching the smoke curling up to the studded and frescoed ceiling which had been his pride: "The original cost to John and Alexander Davidson was between $350,000 and $400,000. The loss, of course, is mainly on the interior. The walls will stand when all else is gone. There is no way to estimate the loss, but it may be over half of the original investment. It will be at least a year, of course, before we can reopen. I have no doubt the theater will be re­ built." THE JENKINS INQUIRY. Investlgatlon of the Judge's Aet Regarding Union Pacific Employes. The Congressional investigation of Judge James Gray Jenkins for his ac­ tion in enjoining the employes of the Northern Pacific Railroad from strik­ ing was begun in Milwaukee Monday. Representatives Boatner, Terry, and Stone, who comprise the subcommit­ tee of the House Committee on Judi­ ciary, which was appointed to conduct the inquiry, began the work assigned to them. Chief Clark, of the Order of Rail­ way Conductors, and Chief Sargent, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, wera the two witnesses be­ fore the committee Monday. Their examination clearly defined the atti­ tude of organized labor toward the ac­ tion of Judge Jenkins. It was admit­ ted that no actual harm had been done to the Northern Pacific employes by the celebrated injunction of the Federal judges, yet the claim was made--and in no ambiguous language, either-- that these writs were fraught with too much danger to organized labor to al­ low them to go unchallenged. Ttfe statement was boldly made that the strike was labor's only weapon of de­ fense,and that itdid not purpose to have that weapon knocked from its hands by Jenkins, Dundy, or any other Judge. The issue wai squarely joined when Chief Sargent told the committee: "We object to any court saying to us, 'you must accept these conditions, whether you like them or not.'" The far-reach­ ing effect of the Jenkins injunctions was shown when Chief Sargent gave his interpretation of them. Here it is: "If I, as an individual employe, should quit the service of the Northern Pa­ cific receiver, and such quitting should embarrass the operation of the road, I would be liable to punishment for con­ tempt of court." Chief Sargent did not hesitate to tell the Congressional committee that he had openly defied the supplemental in­ junction which restrained the chiefs from meeting with the men and advis­ ing them regarding a strike.

Tbt Senate Monday resumed considera­ tion of the Wilson hill. Mr. Walsh w^s •worn In as Senator from Georgia to serve oat the term of tbe late Senator Colquitt. The House was depopulated. Three- fourths of the membera were at the Fenato listening to Senator Hill's speech. Those who remained were occupied with District of Columbia affair*. 'I be bill to ullow bookmakers to operate at the meetings of tbe Washington Jockey Club met with such opposition that it was withdrawn. Only one bill of any importance, providing for 91 gas in the District, was passed. There was a small attendance In the galleries wben the Senate convened Tues­ day and there was scarcely a quorum of Senators visible. Tbe bill introduced some time ago by Senator Peffer for the improve­ ment of public roads was reported back adversely by Senator Kyle, Mr. Quay's resolution that ^ the Senate should hear a committee of the organiza­ tions of the workingmen of the United States in opposition to the tariff bill April 21 was objects'! to, and a resolution ty Senator Allen requesting the Secretary of the Interior to inform the Senate of the names and postoffice addresses of those whose pensions had been suspended or cancelled since March 4. 1803, and tbe reason for such -suspension or cancella­ tion went over without action. The Wol- cott resolution for the coinage of Mexi­ can dollars at United States mints was finally agreed to. and the Wilson bill came up again. In the House bills were passed for the protection of game In Yellowstone Park and for the punishment of crlmn in the park by the extension of the laws and jurisdiction of the Wyoming United States District to ita territory; to grant chief justices in' Territories power to appoint commissioners to take proof of land casea The House then went into committee of the whole and resumed consideration of the postoffice appropriations bill The Senate was engaged in discussing the Wilson bill Wednesday. It will be aieeks>befoce the debate is closed, and ev­ ery member will be given a chance. Mr. Reed held the House at bay for an hour and a hrflf on a motion to discharge tbe Warrant Msued to the Sergeant-at-arms during tbe flfeht over the contested elec­ tion casfes to arrest the absentees. The Republicans, under his leadership, refused to vote. and. tbe Democrats, being unable to muster a qtiorum, yielded to an adjourn­ ment Both sides of the chamber showed a good attendance when the Senate met Thurs­ day. During the transaction of tbe rou­ tine morning business Senator Kyle, of South Dakota. Introduced a joint resolu­ tion proposing :i constitutional amendment relative to marriage and divorce, which was referred to the Committee on Judiciary. The urgent deficiency bill was taken up and the last paragraph, to provide for uni­ formity in the letting of government con­ tracts for supplies at Washington, gave rise to considerable discussion, as did also the paragraph for the printing of an ab­ stract of the eleventh censua Mr. Man- dersoti moved to strike out the clause, as he argued that the abstract would be but a duplication of the digest already ordered. The motion was agreed to and the bill as amended was about to be put on Its final passage when tho hour of 1 o'clock arrived and the question went over, while the tariff bill was laid before the Senate. When the House adjourned late In the afternoon It was still In a most distressing tangle. The rule which the committee on 1-ules brought in. Imposing a fine of $10 for every refusal of a member to vote, was the cause of tbe trouble. No business bad been transacted. Very few Senators assembled Friday to listen to the tariff speeches. The struggle over the adoption of the new rule to se­ cure a voting quorum was resumed when the House met. As soon as the journal had been read Mr. Boutelle jumped to his feet and objec'ed.and when Mr. Dockery moved its approval the Republicans sat silent in their seats. Upon the announcement of the vote. 105 to 0, Mr. Boutelle made the point of no quorum and the roll was called. The Republicans refrained from voting and the result. 153 to 1. showed that the Democrats were twenty-three » short of a quorum. Mr. Dockery' then moved a call of the House, in­ structing his side to vote down the motion In the hope of developing a Demo­ cratic quorum. But the Democrats failed 10 get the quorum. Tbe motion for a call was defeated by 140 to 14. The Democrats were still twenty-flve short The prospect of a quorum was hopeless, and, as It had be?n decided to call a Democratic caucus io consider the rules. Mr. Dockery moved an adjournment, and at one o'clpck^-tho House adjourned. » * thmfh • Caanal OluMitt Mem* pipcr-WiMk, Pale and la a D*ph»nbl| Condition Whea Belief Cm*-i MrkaU* N»rratlv« Care tally Xawwtfei; giteA by a Dnbaqne Tines Reporter. Gen. Iiee and Private Lie#. i;; Robert E. Lee, Jr., bears a striking resemblance to his father, Gen Robert E Lee, says a Washington correspond­ ent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. He rose to tho rank of captain in the Confederate army, entering as a pri­ vate in the famous Rockbridge artil­ lery when he was but 18 years old. He was counted one of tho bravest and most tireless fighters in the ranks. An interesting incident is related of how he met his father after a hot battle in which young Lee had taken an active part The artillery was parked in an open fold the day after the first tight at Cold Harbor. With the other mem­ bers of his company Private Lee ha I sought rest beneath the cannon. One of his comrades called out: "Bob, here comes vour father." Kfierure begrimed with the dirt and ^moke, _of ^Battle crawled from beneath a cannon and stood up to salute and greet Gen. Lee, who was riding on a tour of inspection.
