 HAMPSTEAD, Dec. 6.-Addie CornWaL, Who was brutally assaulted by four men on Sun day night, is dying and has made an ante morten statement which duplicates John and Charles Mosier and one, possibly two, of the Craft family.

 Senate RivaIrIes-DemOerats who Want
 the Committee Places Divided Fairly.
 WAsH1NaToN, Dec. G.-The Democratic Sen ators in caucus this morning appointed committee, consisting of the chairman, MT. Pendleton, and Senators Harris, CockeriIl, Garland, Butler, Morgan, George and Call,to rearrange the minority membership of the Senate committees. Considerable complaint was manifested by new Senators that each of the older members was favored by positions on the most important committees and an effort was made by Senators holding this view to impress upon the committee the i'm portance Of an equal distribution of the places. It is the understanding that the committee will not act until the Republicans arrange the organization of the majority membership of the committees.

The hackneyed phrases of ''selling at cost" "the manufacturers price for everything" and many other obsolete devices and cheap firms who are keen enough to drop them Several years ago, when this country was in condition bordering on poverty, so to speak, the catchy announcements were read and be- lieved by nine-tenths of the people, when in reality the statements contained about twen- ty per cent. of truth and eighty per cent. of exaggeration. At the present time we are glad to say that only one-tenth of the people are led to believe that the so-calIed great re- duct1ons of thirty to forty per cent. are gen. uine Like charity, we will admit that dealers who indulge in this style of advertising have made truthful statements. Their customers who bought goods previous to the time of reduction must have paid thirty to forty per cent. profit, and perhaps little more, not deducted, to help pay a large rent or incident al expenses. It must be borne in mind that expenses govern prices, especially in this city, where competition is quite strong, and the volume of trade limited to it's own precincts, including few country towns. Therefore we believe that all thinking people will read. fly perceive that Oak Hall is 8 clothing store of the happy medium order, and the manage ment is proud in being able to truthfully an- nounce that the business up to the present time has been exceptionally fine, which is
 partially due to the fact, that expenses gov ern prices, and both are low in

mahone's Absence from the Recent Cau-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Senator Mahone's excuse for not attending the recent caucus was that he did not receive his invitation in time. It is said by persons in a position to know that the Senator received his invita- ton earlier than the majority of the other Senators. This fact is construed by many to mean that the gentleman from Virginia was not, as would appear from previous pub icatioHs, particularly desirous of being pres ent at the caucus.

The Tenement House Cigar System.

Ac Il cAACAAAcAAL K1UAAc SHEAC SyBAeM
 NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Tne constitutionality of the act prohibiting tenement house cigar making was argued in the court to-day. The relator in the case is David A. Pond of 375 East Eighth street, New York, manufacturer of cigars, interfered with by this prohibition. He had been arrested for resisting the en- forcement of the act and seeks the issuance of writ of habeass corpus. William M. Ev- arts, A J. Dittenhoffer and Morris A. Wise Senator Robert H. Strahan, Thomas Allison and Assistant District Attorney Vincent op- posed. MT. Evarts argued that the State had no authority to interfere with the private pursuits of citizens, whether they involved the manufacture of cigars or other saleable commodity. It was an infringement which the law could not tolerate. He made the point that 1t was in fact much preferable for girls and children ts be employed in so- called tenements than in the factories whefe they were brought in contact with vicious associations and number of temptations. The opposing counsel argued that such pro- hibition is simply an exercise of the police power of the State. The legislature they as- sert has unlimited power to make police reg ulations including health laws except as re- strained by the constitution. There IS no provision of either or the United States con- stitution directly restraining or specially ap- plicable to or regulating or limiting the ex- ercise of the police power of the State. The decision was not announced.

A VERY UNSAFE BUILDKNG.

A school Building That Should at Once
Receive the Attention OF the Board Of
Education,
The parents of children who are com
PEELED to attend school In School No. IL,
McDowellville, are considerably exercised
over the unsafe condition of that structure.
The walls from the foundation to the second
story joists are badly cracked and
sprung, and In some places the
floor boards are fully an inch from
the walls. The janitor in conversation with
a representative OF the GAZETTE stated that
the building was erected Is years ago and
that two years after the building was
erected cracks were noticed In the walls and
that since then they had been increasing In
size gradually. The plastering on Rodney
street where q new water main was laid dur
ing the summer the janitor stated had Jared
building and caused the walls to bulge pre-
ceptably. Building Inspector Chandler has
examined the building and has declared II
unsafe and advised the Board of Education
to attend to the matter at once. There d
some talk of bracing the walls. Whether
this will obviate the difficulty Is question.

New YORK, Sept 1s.-At 6.45 this eyen-
ing fire broke out in the basement of Nos.

fire was discovered. The building runs
through to Mercer street. The fremen had
much difficulty in getting at the flames.
They finally broke through the iron

to save the building. The losses
were estimated as follows: Helman g.

road In reply TO a notification to abate q

the railroad. 15fT'
Executive ofiicer Schultz was instructed
to notify Messrs. Carpenter and Hare that
they would be prosecuted If the nuisance
was not abated by Tuesday night. The
officer was also instructed to inquire into
the complaint OF John Bernough against
Mrs. Donahoe. The parties are nelghbors
on Gilpin avenue, between Lincoln and
Scott, streets, and Beruough complains OF

4 A private letter fromsG Charles E. Fritz to
DR.. Bush was read. Mf. Fritz argues that
the ordinance nov pending before Council
providing that all cesspools shall be cut of
from the sewers will bea disadvantage in
stead Of otherwise. He thinks that the re-
fuse from the wells acts as purifying agent
on the other foreign matter, such as comes
from some manufacturing establishments,
which he regards as D detriment to health.
Quitb a lengthy discussion ON the sewerage
question followed. The special system de-
Weed BY Colopel WAfihg was discussed aud
although thought practical, the expense was
thought to be too great for this city. Mr..
Gswthrop thought that sewerage committee
should be q permanent fixture of Council,
and that sewers should be built gradually
and the work done with care. DIR. Bush
agreed, but he thought the greatest fault
was that there was no attepint at system
or plan. He eulogized G. w. Talley, chair,
man Of the late special committee on the
sewerage question, and thought that some
thing would ultimately Lave been don't
under his clear headed and business-likt
management. He likewise praised the
registry department of deaths, births ant
marriages, etc., as one of the best and mos
complete In the country. An order wa
drawn in favor of James Stuart for S3.

PANro AMONG PRISONERS.
An Appalling Scene IN the ST. Louis Jail
burning the Progress of q Fire.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1S.--George Brecken-
ridges Phoenix planning mill, large four
story brick building on the corner Of spruce
and Twelfth streets, took fire at $50 p. m,
and In an hour It contents, valued at $780,
900, on which there is an insurance of $55, :
900, were totally destroyed. Across Spruce
street stands the southern wall of the city
jail, where daring the progress Of the fire q
panic Of extraordinary nature took place
among the prisoners, nearly 200 in mum
Der. The roof Of the jail con-
sists mainly OF a monster skylight,
through whose panes the earliest light OF
the fire showed plainly. suddenly shower
OF sparks fell upon the skiltght, and the roof
of the burning building falling In at this
time the stream of light filed the whole jail
and almost seemeed to Justify the cry which
went up from the female prisoners that the
jail was on fire aud that they would be
burned alive unless released. The jailer did
his best to quiet their fears; but part of the
jail fence catching fire at this, juucture
the engines played upon 1t, and
the we'll understood sound was accepted
BY the prisoners az proof that they were
indeed locked up in q burning building
Then ensued panic which battles descrip-
tion. The women completely lost their self
control, rushing wildly about In their cells
and begging piteously to be taken to a
place Of safety. Some Of them falling upon
their knees and stretching their arms
through the bar spaces clasped hands
and prayed the jailer to open the cell doors.
The men were hardly less panic-stricken and
the cry which the whole body of prisoners
set up and maintained for several minutes
was appalling. At one moment 1t seemed
to the jailer as # the jail was actually
threatened and he and his deputies began
4 fNva a
removal OF his prisoners without the
loss of any or them, and when
this was seen the clamor, which had
subsided for a few moments, broke out
again, with more vigor than ever. All efforts
to bring the thoroughly terrified prisoners
into subsection were uhavailsng and It was
only wnen they were physically unable to
sustain vocal exertion that they desisted.
The extraordinary scene was almost an itlen-
tieal repetition of the one which took place
when the same mill was turned down year
ago. laa
