In Heidelburg all university students
have been excluded from the theaters.
This action was taken in concert by
the city and university authorities
because the students have been taking
possession of the theaters thGre and
bowling down every performance they
did not like. The general public con-
cluded tmat they had some rights
which the university students were
bound TO respect. Hence the pro-
hibition. Perhaps this may serve as a
useful warning on this side of the

ON the Right Track ,
FOUR LOST THEIR LIVES.


Horrors OF the tire In jam meHtOWu-Nar-
row Escapes Of Several Persons.
JAMESTOWN, N. Y, Nov a. The fl re
in the Old Homestead Hotel yesterday
claimed four victims and several OF
the boarders narrowly escaped with
their lives The fire was discovered
early in the morning, and had euvel oped
the whole house before the departmen I
responded to the alarm
They at last succeeded in forcing the
flames back from the lower floors of the
house sufficiently to obtain an entran CO.
On climbing up the first flight Of stairs,
the first victim was discovered in the
person of Maggie Wilson, waiter girl.
The body was charred and burned in a
horrible manner The flesh was drop
ping of in many places, leaving the
bones bare. She occupied a room wit b
three others Of the female help in tn e
third story of the building, and ha d
succeeded in finding her way dow n
stairs, when she was overcome by tn 9
smoke. Her home was in Red Rock,
Pa.
The fremen pushed their way forward
to the room occupied by the four WON en-
and, on entering, found the dead bodies
of two women and a child. They were
quickly lowered TO the ground and iden-
titled as Mrs. Carrie Marsh, a dish washer
from Warren, Pa, and Mrs Jane Bu-
chanan a pastry cook Of Craightowu,
Pa.
Mrs. Buchanan's body lay stretched
on the floor, where she had fallen in the
attempt to find her way through the
binding smoke to the door. She
clasped in her arms the form Of her lit
tie boy, and both had evidently died
from sulfocation, as the bodies were not
burned
Mrs Marsh had not risen from the bed
and was probably tupefed by the smoke
before she realized her danger. HeI
body was considerably burned Of the
other occupants of the room Miss Grace
Hartwell was the only one to escape,
She was awakened by the cry Of fire,
and, not stopping to dress hastily ran
down tine first flight of stairs. The
flames barred further progress by means
of the stairway and she continued down
the hail and stepped from the second
story window upon the veranda whence
she reached the ground in safety,
Several of the boar ders narrowly es
capped with their lives from the windows
and none had time to save any of his
property. One of them, Harry Nils
paugh, lowered himself from the secont
story window by means of a bed quilt
and others escaped by jumping on to the
surrounding verandas.

A Busy Section.

Passing oyer the line of the Bal
timorc & Ohio from Terra Alta to
Oakland ole is impressed not only
with the growth of these towns, es,
peoially the former, but with the
rapid developments Of the resuur-
ces of the country. Within the
past five years four short line roads
have been constructed as feeders to
the great trunk line. These reach
coal, timber and rock. Three new
lumber mills have been constructed
beside the railroads, which are in
active operation, while at Cor-inth
extensive mining operations are
under way within half a mile of
the line. A long line of coke oy-
ems here within full view of the
passing trains, look like business.
The above named town, six miles
west of Oakland is attaining re-
spectacle proportions. Messrs.
Gates and Sharps are opening up
mines west OF those now in opera
ton and will soon erect a number
Of ovens for the manufacturing of
coke. They have also run off a
number of lots for building pur-
poses on beautiful site Just west
of and adjoining the town which
thew will offer for sale at auction
before long. At Huttons and
other points the population is rap
idly growing.

War to The Death.

Shortly after the death of Ernest
Liller by a freight train, Policeman
Fleckenstine arrested the engineer
of train No. 5, who was fined for
fast running of his train within the
corporate limits. An order was i'm
mediately issued by the railroad
company to reduce the speed of
trains to six miles per hour while
passing through town. Last week
the order was revoked and instruc-
tiOns given to resume former rate
of speed, which the train men have
done. The Council met and in
structed the policeman to arrest all
engineers who violated the ordi-
mace. What will be the result can
not be told now. 1t seems to us,
however there is some way to com
pei the company to respect our law,
and thus make it safe for our peo-
pie to cross the railroad when their
business requires them to do so.
