KNOX COUNTY COURT.
Decision Reserved in the Rockport
Equity Case.
Especial to the Press.]

RocKLAND, March 23.-The equity
case between John Jones of Rockport
and Robert w. Light, the Boston lawyer,
was continued to some length today. and
contrary to the expectations of the most
of the bar, court not only did mot
adjourn this noon, but will not until to-
morrow night at least. Lewis McDon-
aid, who seems to have been at the bot
tom of all the trouble, was on the wit
ness stand all the forenoon, and Lawyer
Light underwent examination this af-
ternoon. The line of defence went to
show that the deed was given for con-
sideration, some money being paid and
the balance be represented by future
services. Judge Walton, while evident
ly satisfied that there was no fraud in
question, reserves his decision, and the
case will be heard before the full bench.
A crowded court room has charactered
today's proceedings.

RocKLAND, March %. = Harry W..
Knowles, who left this city two or three
years ago, under peculiar circumstances,
returned today, only to be arrested by
Sheriff Gray and thrown into jail 1t is
a bastardy case, and one of peculiarly
unfortunate circumstances. Knowles,
who is a son of Orlando Knowles of
Boston, is young man of very prepos-
sessing appearance, and who, previous to
his sudden departure from this city stood
high in church and social circles. He
was member of the we'll known Topaz
male quartette, and with the additional
qualities of a musician, was particularly
popular. He went to Cardiff, Tenn,
while that town was enjoying it's boom,
and later to Massachusetts, where he
married most timable lady and set
tied down. Recently, as the story runs,
Mrs. Knowles being in ignorance of her
husbands misdemeanor, expressed a de-
sire to visit Rockland and his relatives.
Not daring to refuse, and hoping that
his folly had been forgotten, he consent
ed, with the above results. He will
probably be released tomorrow on bail.

THE CLEVELAND HORROR.
Four Women and Child Burned to Gin
ders.

CLEVELAND, O., March GA fire hor
ror, unprecedented in the history of
Cleveland occurred shortly after noon to-
day, when four women and one child
were burned to death in an apartment
house on one of the leading residence
streets. The fire occurred at Morgan's
fashionable boarding place, sos Prospect
street. The building was a three-story
and basement brick structure, containing
As rooms, and had nearly 40 inmates. At
the hour for luncheon, Mrs. j. FL. Miller,
a boarder, discovered flames in the hall
on the second floor Escape by the stair
way was cut off, and Mrs. Miller jumped
from the second story window to the
ground and gave the alarm. The fire
spread rapidly through through the halls
Hundreds of people who congregated on
the scene at once attempted to rescue
those in the buildings. Nobody thought
to ring in the fire alarm. At least half
an hour elapsed before steamer arrived
or a policeman was sent to the place.
The utmost excitement prevailed. Not
until the flames were subdued was the
extent of the catastrophe learned. Many
spectators assisted the fremen in trying
to rescue the persons in the burning
structure, and several were badly burned
as they were driven back by the flames.
Mrs. Miller and another woman were
badly bruised by jumping from the sec
ond story windows. One of the victims
was blind. The fire started in the base
ment, lust how is not known, and swept
through the halls, cutting off all means
of escape. The women who perished
ran to the windows, but were driven
back by the smoke and fame. Those on
the lower floors rushed to the street.
The dead bodies were found on the third
floor, the corpses burned to a crisp.
