The numerals "15O," "1OO'' and

These kilograms, or rather the one
addressed to F. w. Wicker, United
States Collector at the port of Key West,
Fla. tells its own story.
The sun had not gone down in the
State of Indiana where one of the great
est frauds ever perpetrated on 4 free
Government and a free ballot were
about to be consumInated, when the
Chairman of the National Republican
Committee and an official of the United
States Government were preparing to
repeat, in the State of Florida, the in
fanny then about to be contaminated in
the State of Indiana.
The Committee were advised, pre-
vious to the receipt of these kilograms,
that the State of Florida was about to
be overrun by the repeaters of our large
cities. The kilograms of Mr.. Jewell
only confirm what the Committee well
knew to be the fact.
The above kilograms are in the pos
session of the Committee. They are
written in copying ink, have been
copied in a letter press book, and bear
the telegraph receivers checks and
marks and this Committap dafies any
one to assert that they are not genuine.

Twenty girls and women, under the super
vision of Mary Foren, the forewoman of the
sorting department., were at work in the sort

These women knew nothing of the presence of
the fire until one of them saw smoke coming
through the cracks in the floors. She ut

case in the storagc-room. Most of the women
at this time were in the storage-room, only
eight then being in the sortng-room. The
forewoman ran to the door between the two
rooms and told them the building was fire,
and to hurry out. Two of the eight immedi-
utely followed her, but the other six, anxious
to save their clothing, stopped TO take OFF their
working dresses and put on those they wore

was when they returned to go down the stair
