EVERY FRIDAY.

A TkRRrBLs tragedy was enacted at the
Chicago Monday afternoon. The large
building of the Cold Storage Company,
which had an ice skating rink, situated
Just outside of the fair grounds, caught
fire in the tall tower, which rose 100 feet
or more above it. In an almost inciedi'
BILE epace OF time 20 firemen had climbed
to it, when, horror of horrors, flames
broke out beneath them, completely
shutting them of from escape or rescue.
Only two alternatives were left-one TO
remain and be burned, the other TO jump
to the roof of the building 20 feet below,
to be dashed to death. The 6remen
those the latter and one by one they
made the plunge, all alighting on the
roof shapeless masses, except one, who
Mortified by his perilous and hopeless
position, jumped headlone into the
seething flames below. Over 10000 PEG.
pie witnessed the appalling spectacle,
strong men tainted with weaker women
and the cries and screams OF those who
gave vent to their feelings in that way
was heartrendine. No such catastrophe
had ever happened in this country and
he bare thought of it sends horror to the
soul. Twenty brave 6remen lost their
lives and many others we're injured. The
favorable course OF the wind was all that
saved the Worlds Fair buildings,
or many Of them, from being burn.

such fire trap to be erected in such
close proximity to the grounds. 1t was

and its destruction was but question OF

THE Howerton-kerr scandal is still
furnishing food for the lovers OF that
kind OF gossip in Bourbon and Fayette.
All the parties except Mrs. Howerton
have had their say through cards in the
papers and she has run off, possibly to
Hamilton, Mo. Howerton in his last
card asserts that after his wife had con-
fessed to q criminal lsson with Capt.
Kerr, extending over period OF some
20 years, he refused to live longer with
her and believing that the man who
wrought her ruin ought TO contribute to
her support when she was cast upon
the cold charities OF the world, he sent
her to him to make the demand for
$4,000 or $4,000. The money was 10
be held in trust for her use and benefit
and he was not to profit in the least by
it. Capt. Kerr maintains his innocence
OF the charge and denounces Howerton
as blackmailer. The womsn's broth
ers side with him and il they do any
cunning will point their weapons at
Howerton. The lstters card has chang
ed public sentiment in his behalf and it |
is now thought that be is much more |
sinned against than SHINING. 1t is said |
that Mrs. Howerton Was for long time
engaged to be married to Col. A. NJ. /

THE pension department is in earnest
about purging the list. A large number
OF fraudulent pensioners have already
been dropped and now an order has
been issued notifying many who are
drawing money under the dependent
pension act that they will be suspended
for 90 days, during which time they
must show by competent evidence that
they are entitled to be continued on the
rolls, otherwise they will be dropped
Let the good work go on. There are
hundreds Of thousands on the pension
rolls who ought not to be on them. The
list should be a roll OF honor instead OF
being filled by those who did not serve
their country in war and who are now
trying to live off of it and keep from do
ing honest work.

INTO the open a1r. where ropes We're
placed around their necks, and 100 men,
mad with the thirst for blood. dragged
them over the roads half mile away.
Behind them followed the remainder OF
the mob, firing at the prostrate forms
at every step. The victims were un-
doubtedly dead before they had been
dragged twenty yards, and 1t was mere
semblance of human forms that Were
strung up when the woods We're reached.
Ths mob then returned to look for the
dead and wounded. Before the littlt
buildings and on the road in front ot

Twenty-five Dead Bodies Were Found
and in the three little buildings eight
more were found dead. Thirty more
were wounded, several of them fatally.
Nothing definite is known OF the
wounded as Bakersville is miles away
from telegraph Office and all news
brought to this point comes by carrier.
Since the first news was received four
more of the sherift's posse are reported
dead and four more Of the mob The
mob il still under arms, and in spite OF
the intense excitement it is not thought
there will be any more bloodshed unless
a call is made on the governor for
troops. If they are summoned every
mountaineer for miles around will as
senble to iepnlse them, MS they have
but little respect for anything but local
law and will resent any outside attempt
to force them into submission. As far
as they are concerned the case is closed,
as both the sheriff's posse and the mob
are regarded as having done their duty
in dying with their boots on.
A second Battle Fought.
A courier has just arrived who says
that the mob, instead of dispensing as
was expected, remained on the ground.
The sheriff's posse also remained under
arms and was rapidly being reinforced.
All through the morning the mob con-
| tinued to receive accessions to its ranks
and by noon the party numbered about
500 to 600 men. Feeling ran high and
after few speeches the posse decided
| to avenge the sheriff's death. Another
battle took place shortly after noon in
which at least twenty-five more men
were killed. What will be the result
