Chicago—He Refnsea an Explanation
Chicago. March 4.—Agoatino Soiutti,
the representative in Chicago of the Ital
ian government, became angry to-day
when informed of the contents of a dis
patch from Washington concerning the
extent to which the padrone system is
practiced in the United States, and par-
Ocularly in tiie West and in Chicago.
The dispatch gave the utterances of Sig
nor Elso Osar Moreno, who purposes to
bring themat'er to the attention of the
House Labor Committee. Signor Moreno
alleged that Consul Soiutti was in the
business of letting out Italian slave labor.
He said thst In 1888 Bciutti offered to con
tract with him to furnish 6,000 Italian la
borers lor work on a Kansas railway,
charging $2 a head for the men, thus re
alizing SIO,OOO by the deal. When Soiutti
was informed of the charge to-day his
wrath knew no bounds,
••It is a miserable lie,” he declared. “I
do not know the man; I never saw him,
and 1 never was engaged In such a busi
ness.”
“Do you know whether the padrone
System is practiced here I”
“I know nothing. This man is trying
lo put a calumny on my shoulders, iam
not responsible io him lor what I do, nor
to anvone else except my own govern
ment. If 1 have in any way violated the
laws of this State or country, why am 1
not arrested ? I refuse to acknowledge
anv responsibility to this man Moreno.”
He refused to discuss any of the allega
tions as to the existence of the padrone
system here.

AUGUSTA’S HORROR.
A Belief that Kn.ln was ignited toy ths
Heal Kr-.m the Gas.
In its account of the calamity which oc
curred in Augusta Friday evening at
8 o’clock, detailed in the dispatches in
yesterday morning’s News, the Augusta
Chronicle says:
Tbe ravages of the flames were insig
nificant, but tbe angel of death hovered
over tbe crumbling building.
Tbe fire was found to be in the eas
house ot tbe Augusta factory, just back
of Superintendent Gogin’s yard, and
across tbe canal back of tbe factory. Its
origin is a matter ot supposition at best,
but tnoHc Informed of tbe circumstances
and situation gave It as their opinion
that the rosia employed In tbe manufac
ture of the gas was ignited by the beat.
Mr. Crocker, wbo was in charge of the
gas bouse, had locked up and gone. He
had made gaa sufficient to last till Mon
day.
A reporter saw Mr. George W. Hutch
ins, assistant foreman ol the earning
! room, w ho gave the following account of
| tbe accident: “I was standing on tbe
: corner below the factory about 8 o’clock,
■ wtien I heard cries of fire, and saw the
j glare behind the factory. I immediately
I ran through the yard to the gas house,
1 which 1 saw was on tire. The watchman
: and myself Hitachi and hose to the plugin
tbe yard and in a few minutes bad a
stream upou tbe fire. In a short time a
crowd began to collect, and someone
suggested that tbe door be forced open.
Mr. Hill, Mr. Allen and a number ot
others immediately procured a long stick
of wood from a pile near by antf cora
i menced pounding against the door. They
: oad only struck a lew times when the
iron root fell in, forcing off about live feet
of the brick wall upon tbe men below. I
immediately rushed up and, assisted bv a
few men who were near commenced remov
j ing the debris and rescuing tbe men wbo
| were buried beneath it. It was terrible
j to bear tbe cries of tne wounded plead
ing to be removed. As quickly as possi
-1 ble they were carried and laid upon tbe
canal bank near by. You know tbe
rest.”
Chronicle reporters arrived on the scene
in time to see the helpless men lying cov
ered under huge piles of brick, and de
moralized men standing by, not knowing
what to do, while the cooler and more col
lected were bard at work extracting the
mutilated bodies from beneath the ruins.
Tbe situation was horrible. Theirgroans
could be heard, but the darkness pre
vented Ibe sufferers being seen. But in a
short while lanterns were obtained and
an agonizing sight was presented id those
at hand. Tbe almost lifeless body of Hon.
M. E. Hill,terribly mutilated, was first dis
covered. Near by him, covered over with
bricks, were men piled in every conceiv
able position. Home only scratched or
bruised, others groaning and ap
pealing with agonizing cries for
help. It was but the work of a lew min
utes to extricate them from the ruins and
carry them to the canal bank, where they
were lain in a row. Tne cries of the
wounded men were heartrending. “For
God sake take us off tne wet ground,”
they cried, and cooler beads set to work
to learn the names of the suffering men
and have them moved to their homes, or
to tbe laclory office, if tbe distance to
their residences was too great or tbeir in
juries too severe. In 6 minutes after tbe
acoident Mr. M. K. Hill breathed bis last,
not having spoken or bad a moment’s
consciousness.
SCENES AFTER THE DISASTER.
The scenes alter the disaster were heart
rending. On all sides women were crying
and wringing tbeir bands and sending up
prayers for tbeir loved ones. Crowds fol
low ed each litter as il left the factory gate,
tbe distressed women each fearing it was
tueir best loved.
At tbe home of Hon. M. E. Hill a sad
scene presented itself. The almost frantic
wife, with her six little ones hanging
about her, was crying aud wailing tor the
loved onu who was no more.
Two doors below an anxious wife and
five children hoped and prayed for Mr.
Allen’s recovery, but of no avail. lie
breathed bis last, surrounded by his bro
ken-hearted family, at 10:05 p. in.
The scenes at the other homes as the
wounded men were taken in were terri
ble. Women screamed and tore their hair
In the extremity of their sorrow.
At the scene of the disaster a picture of
sadneiß prevailed. Men were standing
about in groups discussing tbe shocking
affair, and all lamenting the less ol two
such men ss Messrs. M. K. Hill and W.
G. Allen. No man could be more loved
than was Mr. Hill by all who were under
him, as well as by bis associates, and
from the lips of all words of sorrow for
“poor Mr. Hill” could be beard. The
death of both of the above gentlemen will
cast a gloom for a long time to omne over
the Augusta factory and its employes and
surroundings.

tbe first capital prize oi $75,000 on Tues

the company yesterday noon, and gave the
tollowiug facts in relation to the good for
tune which has befallen her. In a quiet
way, devoid of the least exoitement, she
said, in substance;
“My name is Annie Smith. I am 40
years of age and a widow. My place of
nativity is Monroe, La. 1 came here to
live about five years ago, since when 1
have been earning my living by cooking

I paid the sum of sl. This morning, Feb.

learn the result of my venture, and to my
great astonishment and delight, was told
that 1 had won $15,000.” Hereupon the

Is all I know to say, except to express mv
most lervent thanks tor tbe blessing that

Advice to Mother*.
Mrs, Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at
otiee; it produces natural, quiet sleep by
relieving the child from pain, and the
little cherub awakes as “bright as a
button.” It is very pleasant to tasio. It
soothes'the child, softens tbe gutns, al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the
bowels, and is the lies! known remedy for
diarrhea, whether arising from teething
or other causes. 26 cents a bottle.
