In the Interests Of Justice

The impression exists in the minds of some
people in the city that Mayor Constantine's s
motive in holding On to his position until to-
day was the very mercensry and petty one OF
a few dollars fees in cases coming before him.
That is most sssuredly erroneous and Mr.
Constantine feels it to be "the unkiDdest cut
OF ALL" The facts are these: /, has always,
or at least tor term of years, been custom
and courtesy for newly-elected Mayor, not
his own successor, to qualify so as TO make
his first official duty the presiding at orgaai-
zation of the new Council. This was the case
with Mr.. Constantine himself, with Mr.. Cofiu
and Others, and it was in pursuance OF the
custom thst Mr.. Goodwin arranged to assume
his duties as Mayor today, after presiding at
Council, as he did, last night, and there was a
definite understanding to that effect with the
retiring official He qualified, with Marshal
Hughes, last Friday, upon advice OF those
whose opinions and wishes he respected, in
order to cover any contingencies that might
arise out of the possible passage of the Mayors
and Marshals bills now pending at Columbus
1t is right this statement should be made, to
correct any misapprehensions that may exist,
az above indicated, and to prevent others.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.

Eleven Flremen are Seriously Injured by
Falling Floors In Burning Building In
New York-Two of Them Fatally-The
Leander Reed Building In Chicago De-
stroyed.
NEW YORK, April 15.-The four-Story
brick building, occupied by John F. Hunorx
as piano factory, in the rear of lots Nos.
511 and 513 West Forty-second Street, was
Quilted by fire early yesterday morning. The
building was situated in a tenement house
district and there was great excitement
among the tenants. The loss is estimated at
SEQ, 600; insurance $1,000.
When the fire was practically out num-
her of firemen were on the second and third
fOors washing down the walls. The third
floor was burdened with a number of heavy
pianos, and suddenly the charred beams
supporting it gave way with snap. The
men on that floor went through to the sec-
0nd, and, with the broken timbers, fell upon
their comrades. Cries and grOans rose up
from the interior of the building. and the
firemen who were in the street made rush
into the court yard in front of the factory.
AmbulanceS soon ratified through the
streets and drew up in front of the piano
factory. where one hundred men were ut
work bringing out the firemen. 1t was be-
lieved that some of them were dead, and the
excitement was intense. Man after man
was brought out alive, until nine bruised
and wounded fellows had been placed in the
ambulanceS and driven away TO Roosevelt
hospital.
Their names are: Lieutenant S. Reed and
Firemen Henry T. Mcbride, John S. Pierce
and Michael Campbell. of Engine No. 81;
Fireman George ". Greer. of engine No.
e; Captain John Colby and Lieutenant Oil
rer o. Rank. of Hook and Ladder No. 4,
and Firemen Thomas Duffy and Richard
German. German and Greer it is believed
are fatally injured. The wounds of the
other men are considered very serious.
CHICAGO, April 15.-The Leander Reed
building, 70 to 81 Wabash Avenue, was
partially destroyed by fire yesterday. The
flames are supposed to have originated in
Smith & Patterson's Photographic establish
ment and among the losers are Dean. Foster.
Dawley & Co., druggists and sundries, and
Mclean & Ritterer, wholesale dealers in
stoves. The losses are roughly placed at
S1OO.0 600.
About sixty girls, working in cigar factory
and Clagen's hair factory, became panic
stricken, although out of the reach of dan
ger, and several were injured in rushing
down the stairs.
Among the losses are the follow

A Dishonest Cashier Captured.

OMAHA, Neb., April l5.-Six months ago,
Charles StOlle, cashier of the First National
Bank of North Platte, Neb., severed his
connection with the institution and left town.
Two weeks ago he appeared in Omaha, and
representing that he was about to start bank
at GOthenburg, Neb., purchased $1,000
worth Of fixtures, on credit, shipping them
to Gothenburg. He sold them for cash
to a bank there and fled. Meantime expert
accountants from here were examining the
books of the bank in North Platte. and so
far they have found a shortage of $4,000 to
$4,000. A day or two ago it was learned
that Stole was hiding in San Jose, Cal,
and telegram was sent there ordering his
arrest. Monday night telegam was re-
ceived here announcing that he had been
captured. He will be brought back to Ne
braska for trial

COAL THIBTIsG
Becoming q Wholesale Business and Must
be stopped.

Becoming . Wholesale Business and Must
be stopped.
A united effort is being made by coal deal
ers and railroad companies to break up the
stealing OF coal from cars. Detectives will be
put upon trains and watchmen or policemen
in railroad yards. Offenders will be punished
by fine and Imprisonment, as for any other
theft. Gases of this kind have been passed
over lightly, and those heretofore ar
rested for stealing coal have been let
off with nominal fine or perhaps reprimand
by the magistrate or Mayor, until it has be-
come serious matter, and SO general that it
is ruinous to the coal business. Cars of coal
frequently come into Springfield from which
four or FIVE tons have been stolen of in
transit, the shipper claiming pay for the full
amount put on at the mines, and railroad
companies demanding full freight for the
whole amount billed at point Of shipment,
thus throwing the whole loss for shortage
upon the coal dealers. Two Of our largest
firms have each had an average loss from
this cause of over twenty dollars per day
during the past six months, and the
aggregate loss from this cause to coal
dealers in Springfield is over one hundred and
fifty dollars per day during the winter
months
There is no reason why the stealing OF this
particular article of merchandise should be
looked upon with Indifference more than the
stealing of -four, sugar, meat or other articles
of necessity, and railroad companies and coal
dealers will insist upon having thieves pun
ished for stealing coal as for other theft.
1t has been found that parties in Columbus
have been doing quite thriving coal busi-
ness with coal stolen from cars in railroad
yards there. At other places men have been
seen TO drive up to coal trains standing on
side-,racks, waiting for other trains 10 pass,
and, after loading their wagons with coal,
drive off without being mOlested by train
men who, it is thought, must have seen
them. Coal men are in earnest and are de-
termined to break up this stealing, and will
refuse to pay freights on cars coming in
short weight, thu. compelling railroad
companies to take hold OF the matter and
adopt measures to prevent such stealing.

CAPITAL NOTES.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The Secretary
of the Treasury has appointed Supervising
Architect Bell and Surgeon General Hamil-
ton as a committee to devise a plan for i'm
mediately improving the sanitary condition
and ventilation of the Treasury building.
The report of a chemist who recently made
careful examination of the building. states
that the sanitary requirements of ventila-
ton are more completely ignored in the
Treasury Department building than in any
penitentiary in the United States.
A private letter received from an officer
on board the United States steamer Juniata,
dated February 81, was received yesterday.
The Juniata has been at the Pagoda an
chorage on the Min River, eight miles below
Foo Chow, for two months. and we are un-
able to move. We cannot ascend because Of
the shallowness of the river; we cannot de-
scend because the mouth of the river is
blockaded by torpedOes." Reports of the
condition of the Juniata have reached here
before. unOfficially, but the Department au-
thorities have denied emphatically that the
vessel was blockaded.

General Wales counsel notified the court

The attorney for the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company has taken issue with the
recent order of Commissioner Sparks placing
within the operation of the act forfeiting the
lands Of the Texas Pacific, certain lands
lying along the line of the Southern
Pacific where the two roads cross in South
ern California. By this order no right of
the Southern Pacific to these lands was
recognized. The railroad made claim to
them, and through its attorney asks that a
hearing be given. 1t is probable that this
question will be brought for final settlement
before the Secretary of the Interior.
