HARD FIGHT OVER THE PLATFORM.
Whatever conclusions are arrived al by
the conference, there is no doubt that
there will be pretty hard fight over the
platform. The opinions ofthe delegates
are so widely diversified that unless some
OF the parties give up their principles
altogether, there must of necessity be
row before platform is finally adopted.
OF course. it is probable that all parties
Will make mutual concessions, and II
such be the case, then everything may
pass Oft tremendously.
With view to ascertaining what re-
suits the leaders of the present movement
are anticipating from the conference, an
Associated Press reporter called on sew
eral Of the foremost men connected with
the conference and asked for an express
sion Of opinion.
Ignatius Donnelly said that he thought
that new party would spring into exist
ence as q result of the meeting. THE
| Ocala platform will be Endorsed" he said,
land also the sub-treasury schemes.
think that the Prohibitionisis will be pla-
Gated by the adoption OF a plank not in
Guiding either extreme and giving the
State the right Ia prevent Federal inter-
ference. In effect, the resolution intro
duced yesterday by General Weaver may
be approved"
L. /. Polk, President Of the Farmers
! Union, said: 'The Ocala platform. l
think, will be the basis on which the con-
! ference viii work" When asked for an
! opinion on the National Cordage Trust
and the National Union Company, Polk
said that he had never Endorsed the COM
| pany because he was opposed TO 1t on
! general principles.
/ L. Y. Powderly says: "We are here tn
assist in preparing q political platform
| upon which we can all stand. We viii
/ certainly formulate such platform, in
Guiding all the national points OF vital
! interest on which we can harmonic, and
then, as natural sequence, all the in
dustrial organizations participating in the
| conference will support in the coming
| election that political party which comes
nearest to adopting our platform.
There is little doubt but that we can
! harmonic on three great questions OF
the hour, viz, land, transportation and
money. AS to third party, l think that
! it is not only necessity, but that il
/ already exists in the Peoples party,
! which was recently inaugurated at Gin
! cinnati."

REMARKABLE SCENES AT A FIRE
IN BROOKLYN.
The Firemen Lose Their Presence OF
Mind The Demonstration Oc-
cupants Narrowly Escape.
Special to the REcoRp-Uxrox.


NEW YORK, Feb. pa fire in Brook
Ign early this morning gave occasion to
remarkable scenes and reflects discredit
on the Fire Department. The fire was
witnessed by thousands OF people 1t
was in a building used in the upper story
as a dwelling, where several persons
stood screaming for help in window
The crowd below yelled to the people not
to jump, but it was fully fifteen minutes
before the engine arrived, although the
station in Pierrepont street was not three
blocks away. Other engines arrived soon
afterward and the firemen went to work
They raised ladders against the building.
When the ladder was finally got into
position it did not reach within four
feet OF the window. Firemen then went
up the ladder, but when they reached the
top they halted and their companions
below called to them to climb up; they
yelled back with oaths that they could
not go any farther. While this was going
the sidewalk in great excitement. They
lost their presence of mind and cursed
and swore among themselves.
Meanwhile, pipe was attached to q
hydrant and an engine began to puff,
but no water came. By this time the fire
Had reached the upper story ana the peo-
pie at the window were nearly stiiled
with smoke, and the spectators expected
they would be sutfOcated before help ar
rived.
Fireman John Ryan was the only cool
head. He dashed into the hallway of the
building next door and made his way to
the roof. he called for ladder to be run
up on the other side OF the house. Ryan
let a rope down from the roof and the ter
ror-stricken occupants let themselves
down hand over hand.
Up to this time no water had been
thrown on the fire. The new Waterman
was all ready TO he connected, but the
water had been shut off. 1t was fully
twenty minutes after the firemen reached
the scene before water was turned on.
Several streams were then put on the fire
and the blaze eXtinguished in half az
hour. Several OF the occupants were
badly burned, a baby probably fatally.
The loss is small. The fire is believed to
have been incendiary.

The GanC,s Close Call.

He is little man. and when his wife
woke him, and eXcitedly whispered to
him that there was man in the kitchen,
he told her To let him stay there.
but he'll get into the dining groom and
steal all the silver" she said in an under
tone. Are you coward?'
Well, now, perhaps he was coward
when it came to tackling a burglar in the
dark, bat no man is going to admit that
to his wife, so he jumped out of bed and
said, with the best show of courage pos
sible:
"PIl go in the hall and see if can hear
him."
He went out into the hall and he heard
him. He didn't expect to, and he didn't
want to, but he did. There was some
one in the house, beyond all question,
and he wasn't particularly anxious to
meet him. He didn't think he had much
of show with a good, bury burglar,
and he was In quandary until he re-
membered the speaking tube.
There was mOuthpIece in the hall and
a whistle in the kitchen.
He went back into the bedroom and
asked:
Where are my trousers?"
perhaps yon had better not go down,
George" said his wife, as she handed
them.
Don't be a coward, Mary" he re-
turned, as he hastily pulled them on.
"I'll teach him."
Perhaps there's more than one," she
suggested anXiously.
There are two or three, sure" he said
in a business-like way, as he reached for
his coat to throw over his shoulders, "but
Pm good for them all, Mary. / guess
you never saw Inc when l got reused be-
fcre.''
But, George" she cried, throwing her
arms around him as he tried to go out OF
the room, ''l think they have called for
help from friends outside. | heard three
screeching whistles in the kitchen Just
after you went out into the hall the first
time.'
"Quite likely he said, as he tore HIM
self away and hurried out, '6ut III fool
them ALL I'm not afraid OF them"
He returned few minutes later, and.
as he pulled of his trousers again, said
reploachfully:
MARY, they got warning and got away
with some cold meat. If you hadn't made
such q fuss when l tried to make a quiet
sneak on them, I'd have captured the
whole gang, sure."-Chicago Daily Trib-

THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED.

It's Creditors Promise q Lively Time
for the Mutusl Endowment Order.
The Savannah creditors Of the defunct
Mutual Endowment Order are anything but
satisfied with the statements OF President
Ponder in Atlanta. A statement has beeu
prepared by a committee Of the Savannah
members showing the total amount paid
into the order. The amount of the last
assessment is more than the
members will receive in tho 80 per cent.
distribution proposed by the supreme
officers. That distribution which proposes
TO pay 80 per cent. Of the amount paid into
the endowment fund is but 20 per cent. of
the total amount paid into the concern.
President Ponder says there are but nine
members in Savannah. When the last as
sessment was forwarded to the supreme
officers there were twenty-six members here
In good standing, nearly one-hah
the number claimed by Ponder to
constitute the entire membership Of
the order. No statement has yet been made
whether the Atlanta members have been
paid the full amount due on their oertifi-
Gates. The belief here lie that such is the
case. Supreme Secretary Hsrtsfeld ia yet
absent from Atlanta. He Is said to be in
New York. None Of the supreme officers
have been heard from except
Ponder, whose statements 30 far do not
give any information concerning the status
Of the defunct company. Ponder says that
the circular sent out by the supreme officers
containing long list OF names Of Atlanta
people purportod to be members OF the
order, is incorrect, only "a few Of those
mentioned really belonging to IT, This list
contained the names of prominent citizens
of Atlanta, and it was upon their oonneo-
ton with the order that the Savannah gen
tlemen became identified with it.
The supreme officers claim to have put
considerable money into the enterprise and
to have lost everything. No Ineligible
statement, however, can be obtained As
soon as the matter is In proper shape, steps
will be taken to bring about a rigid investi-
CATION of the concern.

The Weather Bureau to Display Gold
Wave and Frost Warnings.
The weather bureau proposes TO extend the
usefulness Of the service in giving a wider
dissemination TO the cold wave aud frost
warnings in the agricultural and CONNER
cial interests Of che country. so that all in
terests liable to be affected by cold weather
or rapid falls in temperature may be able
to take the necessary precautions by being
informed of the coming of cold waves or the
occurrence of frost.
1t is desired to perfect all necessary ar
rangements before there is any danger in
order that displays may be made promptly
when the first frost of the coming autumn
is anticipated.
Acting Director Sherier of the state
weather bureau announces flags to q
limited number will be furnished by the
weather bureau and kilograms will also be
sent at government expense. 1t is desired
to locate these stations at those places only
having Western Union or Postal telegraph
facilities. Still WHARF, great interests which
would be benefited by timsly warnings of
anticipated frosts are located at places re-
quiring an extra tariff on messages, the
warnings will be recommended.
The only expense necessary which is not
borne by the weather bureau is the erection
of a suitable flagstaff on which to display
the signals and a responsible party, prefera-
bly, some one of the city officials, must take
charge of the matter and see that flags are
promptly holsted on the receipt of tele-
grams.

Maj. G.. NJ. Ryals, chairman OF the demo-

Congressman Lester will take the stump
