in urgent demand at this time.
Ordinary business occupa-

the abuse of this right is no less q
crime against public good. The
uncertainties in regard to finance

factors in the return of our ma

prosperity. Meanwhile the Difficult
ties of the situation are increasing
instead of diminishing. The cost
runs into millions of dollars, with

affairs is in face of the fact that
the earth has yielded her increase.
There is neither famine, war nor
pestilence. nor is there at present

business may be done. While
there can be no question as to the
causes leading to financial strin-

historical iniquity. After many

clear, however, from other dis
patches that the Infamous pro-

Harrison, he has been hoodwink-
ed into taking a course that has
been more generally and, perhaps,
more hershly criticised than any
American President.
The great question with the ad
ministration now is how it can
best sneak out of its unpleasant
predicament, although it is be-
lieyed that positive assurance
have been given to the British
| Ambassador and the japanese
Minister that the monarchy would
be restored in Hawaii it is not
thought that any attempt will be
made to do it. at least not op-
emily or by force. Intact friends
of the administration are now try

Killed His Landlord.

WARRENToN, No., June 15.-
Simon Beisemeyer, a farmer living in
the northeastern edge of this county,
was shot and instantly killed Wednes-
day by Milton Thornton, tenant.
The trouble which eliminated in the
shooting arose over an attempt by
Beisemeyer to pillow too near Thorn
tons cabin, which he wanted to reserve
as yard. When demonstrated with
Beisemeyer drew his pistol and shot
Thornton through the right arm, when
the latter entered his house, got his
gun, loaded it with squirrel shot and
fired at the former, the entire load en-
tering the right side just below the
ribs, producing death almost instantly.
After the shooting Thornton went to
Troy and gave himself up to the au.

harmed.

New YORK, June ia thre.
story building filled with sweater
shops at No. 10 and II Montgomery
street caught fire at $50 this morning,
and in a wild rush to the street of tive
hundred and fifty people working
there, at least three were killed and
several were injured. The killed are
horribly mangled and cannot be iden.
titled at present.
The fire started near the stairway on
the second floor and soon extended up
stairs to the third and fourth floors.
The exit being cut off by a stairway,
the imprisoned work people ran to the
rear and front of the building to es-
cape. The rear had no fire escapes
and the windows had been closed by
iron shutters. The whole front be-
came alive with struggling men, wO-
men and girls. All were fighting for
places on the fire escapes. One would
make an attempt to drop through
manhole in the fire escape
at first floor when he or she would be
pulled back by towards above. The
ladder had not been placed up to the
fire escape and those who could get
through the manhole were forced to
drop about twenty feet to the street
below. Several did so without sus-
tanning injuries. There was terrible
fighting on the fire escapes. People
dashed through the manholes like
rats running from danger. They fell
on each other as they came down and
were piled six tiers deep. Many
jumped from the first floor balcony
The first to jump was large
woman. She lighted on an iron rail-
ing in front of building and rolled
over dead. A man followed. He fell
on his head and killed himself instant
ly. A second man followed. He too
tell on his head and was killed. The
hook and ladder truck arrived at that
time and the rescue of those remain
ing in the building and those still on
the fire escape was soon accomplished.
The dead are unidentified. The
injured are Morris Naleston,

die; Annie Katzen, body burned;

which protrutled from the seat of the

Observation-Disclosures
The Jury Returns a Verdict in
Fifteen Minutes.

As predicted in a special to TIL
BAzoo of yesterday, H. w. Platten
burg was acquitted. The jury wa:
gwen the case IN the murder trial
against Harvey W. Plattenburg for
the killing of David Gray, yesterday
afternoon at 3.l5, and they returned
verdict at $50 of not guilty. The
verdict gives universal satisfaction.
The courtroom has been crowded dur
ing the trial despite the heat, many
ladies being present. When the YER
diet was read an attempt to applaud
was made, but Judge Rvland imme-
diately called order. The defendant
asked permission to thank the jury,
which was given.
The evidence seemed to be much in
Plattensburg's favor. Both Platten-
burg and Mcdonald had been drink
ing freely when fuss arose between
them. Gray interferred to stop the
quarrel, when Plattensburg gave him
the fatal wound. More interest was
taken III this case than any murder
case ever tried in Lexington.
There is another charge against
Mr.. Plattenburg for the killing of
James Mcdowell, but the case was
set for the October term of court tor
want of time to try it. The case will
probably be thrown out of court, as
the evidence in that case will be the
same as this. The defendant was adj
mitted to bail in the sum of 10000,
which was Immediately given.

Blew Out His Brains.

PARIS, Mo-, June 15.-James Ball,
farmer 50 years old, committed sui
eide yesterday by shooting himself.
He had been shooting rats yesterday
with an old musket, and this morning
before breakfast took the gun out
again, telling his wife he was going to
shoot rat. She heard the report of
the gun, but paid no attention to it.
When breakfast was ready she called
to her husband, and getting no
answer, she went to the barn to see
what had become OF him, and was hor-
rifed to find him with the entire top
of his head blown of. He had placed
the muzzle of the gun in his mouth
and pulled the trigger with his toes,
causing instant death.

In Close Pursuit of Outlaws.

WICHITA, KAN, June 15.-The
outlaws who held up the California
express on the Santa Fe. near Cim-
marion, Kansas, on Saturday last,
are in the North Cheyenne country,
and deputy marshals from Oklahoma
are in close pursuit. A message from
Camp Supply, l. T., received
says the calvary sent in pursuit
from here last night followed the
outlaws to the Indian Territory line,
this being as far as the law permits,
and that the chase was so close that
the robbers were obliged to abandon
some extra horses that they were lead
ing and part of their equipale. The
bandits are now practically dismounted
having but one horse each and these
badly jaded, so the well mounted mar
shals will probably soon get within
shooting distance Of them. The mar.
shals say the robbers do not belong to
any of the well-known bands of cut.
laws.
