oREaoN's WOMAN OoEvIo'
The Victim of an Unruly Temper
Confinement Wearing on Her.

Ensconced in an apartment Of the
second floor Of the Oregon state prison
Ianguishea the only female inmate Of
the prison.
When visited by reporter this fore
noon, this lonely prisoner sat gazing
out Of window facing the west, her
wistful look, as her eyes rested upon
the beautiful landscape of field and or
chard, portraying a deep yearning for
that freedom Of which she has been de-
prived by decree of court, since April
last.
On being introduced by the warden,
this lone, female convict talked freely
without reserve, her face lighting up
with smiles and chin quivering with
rage in turn as the conversation
touched on topics irrelevant to her con-
dition or was directed to the cause of
her incarceration.
Mollie Richardson, the subject, dis
claims any guilt of having participated
in cutting to pieces set Of harness and
buggy, the charge for which she and
her husband are now serving twelve
months sentence. She further pro-
fesses to harbor no prejudice against
any one, and possess a spirit of kindly
feeling toward all humanity.
"Do you expect to go back to your
home in eastern Oregon aud live in
your old neighborhood?" the reporter
asked. "Yes. Ihave place and mean
to live on 1t. They may send me to
prison but they can't run me from my
home"
"Do you think you will get along
smoothly with those who helped to
prosecute you?"
At this question MoIlie's livid black
eyes flashed with fire and though she
attempted, could not restrain the i'm
pulse to say: '"I'll get along all right
If Pm let alone but If they cross me,
try to run over me, I'll shoot them
down, that's all. The next time they
send me here they'll have something to
send me for"
When her attention was called to the
fact that such threats were contradic-
tory TO the claim of having no prejudice
against any one the prisoner halted a
moment and added that she had tenn
per and that was one trouble with her
that temper would sometimes assert
its supremacy over calmer judgment.
When asked In regard to her treatment
at the prison she replied the officials
had been very kind to her and that
she'd had no trouble In that line.
Mrs. Richardson Is an uueducated
woman though she talks very intelli-
gently. She is in her 5lst year and the
mother Of six children, only one of
which is now living, daughter In
Kansas City. She is now married TO
her fourth husband, for whom she pro-
fesses no great love, having married
him through the persistence of sister
in.law. In statue she is little below
medium height, of rather heavy build,
flashing black eyes and raven hair
without tinge of gray. Her features
are very regular and In plain checked
cotton dress appears very neat with the
exception OF noticeable neglect OF a
few remaining snags Of teeth. She is
the picture OF physical health and lines
OF care and old age have been slow TO
settle upon her brow. She claims that
her present conhnment Is weighing
heavily upon her and implores every |
available source TO assist In securing her
freedom which otherwise she will not |
enjoy till the 9TH Of February next

Which Precipitated the ROlI-CalI,
Showing No Quorum.
The tangle which the senate finally
found itself in last night and which re-
suited in the adjournment of that body,
was the outcome of a cleverly laid plot
originated by Senator Dubois The sill
yer men knew that on roll-call. where
pairs would have to be recognized, that
the repeal members would not be able
to obtain a quorum, though on a call
Of the senate in which pairs could be
violated, a quorum was present The
difficulty then became to obtain a roll
call. Senator Teller examined the rules
and discovered what proved to be a
successful manner of bringing about the
desired end. 1t is a rule of the senate
that except by unanimous consent a
public document cannot be read in that
body if it has been previously read. Mr..
Teller. during a call for a quorum. ex>
planned his scheme to Mr.. PETER, who
was speaking, and few moments later
Mr.. PETER, from the mass Of manuscript
that he had on his desk, resurrected
public document and began to read it
with great elaboration. Immediately
MIR. Teller was on his feet and objected
to the reading. He raised a point Of or
der gainst the reading and after some
debate the chairman made a decision
from which an appeal was taken and a
roll-call ordered. This was what the
silver men were looking for and on the
rOll-cal il was developed that no
quorum was present.
1t was then that the repeal men
stepped into another trap. Mr.. Villas
tried to force Mr.. Dubois to vote and
long debate ensued. An effort was made
to take a vote that the senate should
not excuse Mr.. Dubois from voting and
on the roll-call another lack of a quorum
was developed and the senate was
forced to adjourn. The pending question
now becomes the effort to have Mr.
Dubois vote and it is the intention of
Mr.. Villas to have Mr.. Dubois censured.
This. it is stated, will bring out a nice
constitutional question which will de-
velop debate which the silver men claim
viii last for n month at least and thus
the time Of the senate will be given TO
another question and will be this much
occupied.

IN A CHICAGO FIRE.
Nearly Six Hundred Horses Are
Cremated.

. CHICAGO. Oct. 12.-Frenzied with
fright and driven into stampede by
raging fire that broke out tonight in the
Wallaee-st. barns of the Chicago city
railway company. nearly six hundred
horses were burned 10 death. The barns
were\ entirely destroyed and the total
less ehtailed by the company viii reach
high figure. The building was a two
story brick affair. which extended 400
feet on Wallace-st and ninety feet on
Thirty-ninth-st.
The fire when first discovered was in
the northeast corner of the upper floor
and it was not thought 10 be a serious
blaze, but it gained rapidly on the FIRE
men and before much Of anything could
be done TO save the horses the entire
building was in flames. The number of
hostlers around the building was not
large, and though they did their best
and were aided by men from the rapidly
gathering crowd. they were able TO res
cue but few Of the poor beasts.
All the horses were on the first floor
and in ten minutes after the fire was
discovered they were helpless. They
were blinded by the flames and the
smoke that rolled through the place In
great volumes and soon a stampede was
In progress. The animals sUrged back
and forth in groups Of ffties and hum
dreds in their efforts to escape. Their
loud neighing and an occasional cry OF
pain told the people on the street Of the
fearful scenes that were being enacted
on the inside. Yet little or nothing could
at first be done TO save any Of the ani-
mails. Gradually the sounds OF the SIAM
pede grew fainter and it was apparent
that they were being killed off rapidly,
and when the first group Of fremen had
fought their way into the barn they saw
charred carcasses lying about on every
side.
In the south end OF the barn were gath
cred about seventy-five horses. They
were huddled together so compaetly that
they appeared as one mass. The men
pushed forward, hoping 10 drive them
out, but they themselves were compelled
to retire by the heat and smoke. Ten
minutes later they were able 70 again
make their way inside. But the group
Of horses was much smaller. Fifteen
only had survived and they were driven
over the dead bodies OF the others "a
the nearest door and taken out in safe
ty. In the burned building were 5Id
horses and in the upper story were thir-
~ cars. There were also 200 tons OF
hay and 500 bushels Of mixed grain.
Soon after the fire started the floor fell
and with it the heavy cars and tons of
grain and hay. About seventeen horses
were killed outright. it is believed. By
being crushed beneath this mass.
The origin Of the FIRE IS a mystery.

says that he heard an explosion Just be-
fore he first saw the fire.
IT was standing outside" he said.
when I heard a report. went 70 the
door and saw flames coming through the
ceiling. I also sent IN an alarm and
then went back to help fight the FIRE and

JUST WARNING UP
For the Struggle to Gain silver
RcnenI.

WASHINGTON, Oct 14-This morning
notice was given Of several amendments
to facilitate business. The speech Of
Senator Jones Of Nevada was one OF the
prominent features Of the debate on the
Sherman repeal bill. The repeal bin was
then taken up. The vice-president sub
mitted the question whether the senator
from Idaho (NIr. Dubois) for the reason
given by him, should be excused from
voting on the measure.
BY vote of % to 81 the senate de-
clined to excuse Mr.. Dubois. His name
was called and he remained silent.
No less than seventy-two senators re-
'sponded, by far the largest number that
has appeared on q roll-call this session
Mr. Pfeffer yielded the floor TO Mr.. Jones
Of Nevada and he addressed the senate
against the bill. Mr. Jones said it was
denied that the bill was a proposition TO
place the United States on a gold stand
ard, whereas the very vehemence of the
denial was in itself suspicious.
"Then the effect of the demonetization
of silver" asked Mr.. White Of Louisiana
would be TO Increase the rate of interest
the people would have to pay"
SENATOR JOItS NAt SDNNNi VI the
day and ELECTED many inquiries from the
repeal senators, notably Gray, Villas and
Aldrich. Mr. jones asserted that when
ever rates of interest fall it indicates
that the purchase power of money is
increasing. Rates Of interest, he said, had
fallen in this country for twenty years.
Mr. White suggested and Mr.. Jones as
scented that reconciliation of silver
would increase rates of interest.
But" said Mr.. Jones, 81 have been
better able to pay and 10 per cent.
interest than 1 am now to pay 5 per
cent" In reply TO Mr.. Villas, he said he
had no fear Of monetary arrangement
if silver should be coined free as 1t would
go to a parity with gold In ten minutes.
He denied that there was a store OF sill
yer bullion that would flow to this coun-
try. Silver in France, he said, was now
selling at $1.32 per ounce and India
never gave up any silver.
At nearly O'Clock Mr.. voorhees, COM
plimented Mr.. Jones upon his speech,
and after inauiring If it would be agree
able to the latter moved at o'clock that

Before this Mr.. Voorhees, quoted John
