Progress Retarded By the Illness of De-
fendant O,MahOneY.

DUBLIN, Oct. 13.-The case against
Dillon and O'Brien and ten other de-
PENDANTS was resumed at Tipperary to-
day. John Edgar O'Mahonsy, one OF the
defendants, is ill. Medical evidence was
submitted showing that it would be i'm
possible for him to attend the trial for
some days. 1t was also shown that his
condition is such that when able to ap-
pear in court he will be subject to re-
currence of sickness through the excite
ment of the trial. Grown Prosecutor
Roman closely questioned the doctor re-
garding the nature of O'Mahoney's i'll
ness. V. B. Dillon, of the counsel for
the defense, protested against Romans
questions. which he characterized as hor-
rible. David Sheehy, one OF the accused,
denounced as barbarous the manner in
which the crown was conducting the
prosecution. 81 Roman asked an adjourn
ment until tomorrow, when the crown
would suggest a course that would ena-
BILE the court to proceed in spite of the
absence of O'Mahoney. Dillon objected
to the shortness of the adjournment, and
was supported by his fellow counsel, j.
r. Redmond. The bench acceded to
Romans request.

LONDON, Oct. 13.-A four-story build
ing on Middle street occupied by Rowley
q Brock, hats, caps and helmet manu-
facturers and government contractors
for military headgear, burned this after
noon. Six persons were burned to
death and thirteen seriously injured.
The fire broke out in the wood shops on
the upper floor. There were thirty peo-
pie in the building. Two minutes after
the fire was discovered the whole build
ing was-a mass of flames, which spread
SO rapidly the work people found every
avenue of escape, except the windows,
cut off, Through these some jumped to
the ground.
Several OF the more cool-headed occu-
pants ofthe upper rooms procured pieces
Of sheeting, which they tied together,
and making one end fast in the rooms
threw the improvised ropes out of the
windows, and by this means descended.
In some instances, however, through the
insufficient strength of the sheeting,
and the hurried manner in which the
knots were tied, the sheeting parted and
those who were seeking to escape the
flames, were preclpitated to the ground
and badly injured.
Five women employees were killed by
jumping from the windows.

Beaten In Politics and Charged with
Grand Larceny.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 13.--W. J. Lord
was arrested last night on the charge of
grand larceny, preferred by M. j. Nc
Bride, of the Olympic stables. Lord
said in May he purchased from Mcbride
a half-interest in the stables, paying
$4,000 cash and giving his note for $1,000.
After taking possession he claimed he
found that Mcbride had misrepresented
the amount and character of the stock,
and he refused to pay the note. Nc
Bride subsequently transferred the note,
and the property was sold by the sheriff
and purchased by Lords son. Lord
claimed that Mcbride refused to recog-
nize Lords interest in the stable, al
though he had received $4,000 as first
payment, and the $1,000 sued forand re-
covered. Accordingly Lord, with his
sons, went to the stable yesterday and
removed about half the horses, buggies'
and harness therein. The arrests fol-
lowed. Lord is well known resident
of Grass Valley ,and was one of the prin-
cipals in the contest for the shrievalty
OF Nevada county two years ago. Nc
Bride recovered the property. a

Persons at San Diego Interfering With
Chinese Inspectors.
/, F. b. Goodrich, Chinese inspector at
Sa,n Diego, was interviewed by repor-
ter of a contemporary on Sunday, and in
yesterdays issuelof the paper recounts
the successful exertions made by Dep
uty United States Marshal A. w. Marsh
and himself in preventing the entrance
of Chinese into this country, by way of
Lower California. 1t is we'll known
fact that to the U s. marshal's office
in this city is due the repressive meas
ures taken to prevent the immigration
OF Chinese. Yet, in the San Diego Un-
ion of the Sth instant is an officially in
spired, corrected, and revised editorial,
which gives the credit for the
capture under the provisions
Of the restriction act to Chinese Inspec-
tor Geueral d. E. Coonand and Collector
JohE r.. Berry. Reference is made to
the capture of boat load OF Cinnamon
at Ballast Point by the United States
customs boatman. Mr.. Elldridge; yet
Mr.. Elldridge will hardly deny that ex-
Sheriff "Jim" Russell of San Diego
county was also represented in the
neighborhood of Ballast Point the night
ohO CdPtuIC vas llduc. IL Is CIdlIu6U,
however, that Mr.. Russell and Collector
Berry are very good friends; as the col
lector is said to have worked hard for
Russell's denomination before the San
Diego county Republican convention,
this is probably SO. Yet why has not
the collector or boatman Elldridge
given Mr.. Russell's representative credit
for being on the bay at the time of the
capture?
Mr.. Goodrich in his interview makes
the strange statement that the work of
Deputy Marsh and himself was greatly
handicapped by ''some constables, and
one or two other parties. By them we
have been constantly hampered." Now
the public is very much interested in
knowing who those zone or two other
parties" are. Are they officials? If so,
are they San Diego or Los Angeles Off
Gals?

after death the face Of the Justice, which
had become somewhat drawn during his
last days illness, changed to perfectly
natural condition, and he looked as if in
a quiet sleep. No arrangements for the

but it is certain his remains will be re-
moved to his home in Keokuk, Iowa,
where they will be inferred in the
family burying ground. Tomorrow the
supreme court will meet as usual, and
after the announcement of the death
of Associate Justice Miller, by
Chief Justice. Fuller, the court
