only at back and front, and no fire es-
cape. 1t was stored with feathers,
shavings and other inflammable ma
terials and twenty-five persons were at
work in it, six of whom were young
women. The fire started in the pick
ing room at the front of the second
floor. Almost before the alarm could
be given to the workmen it had spread
through the second story and burst up
the elevator shaft.
The escape of those on the upper
floors was cut off. They stood in the
windows shouting for help, while hun
dreds on the streets, unable to give
them assistance yelled for them to
wait for the hook and ladder Three
men were soon on the roof, two of
them gesticulating frantically, while
the other leaned calmly against a
chimney waiting. Policeman Phil
Brown found ladder and with the
help of two stalwart men dragged Il
mattress to the roof of blacksmith
shop beneath the caves of the factory.
While these prepara tions were under
| way Hnske jumped from the roof, whirl-
| ing over and over in the air and striking
on his side. Bevins jumped from the
roof and was caught on the mat
| tress held by Policeman Brown
and others. Vaughn leaped head
long, so that III the force of
his fall he tore through the mattress
as if It had been blanket. Bacon
jumped from third-story window and
landed on his stomach across barrel
25 feet below. Other men clung to
narrow projections outside the win
dows until pile of mattresses had
been heaped on the sidewalk. Then
| they jumped off without sustaining Sc
we're injuries.
Twenty minutes after the fire had
been discovered the walls fell, crush
ing several small adjoining buildings.
One fireman and several spectators
were hurt by falling brick. The cause
of the fire is unknown. The factory
building was valued at $4,000 and its
contents at $4,000; insurance, S15, 900.
The damage to the adjoining build
| inrS is 500. 900.

BRECKlNRIDGE TALKS.
Declares He Has Secured Majority of
the Legal Votes.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1S.--The CONNER
cial-Gazette's Lexington special says:
Since midnight there seems to be no
doubt about Col, Breckenridge making
fight for the nomination before the
district committee, on which all possi-
BILE pressure has been brought to bear.
Breckenridge has made public state
ment, in which he says he secured a
majority of the legal democratic votes
of the district, and that fraud was
practiced against him in several coun-
ties. The following is Breckinridge' g
statement:
THE democratic committee OF the district
alone has the power to declare who is the nom
inee and until that declaration Is made no one
is the nominee of the party. and .Slen 1t Is
made will loyalty submit to this decision and
support the person declared to be the nomi-
nee. Under the law and under the rule OF the
party 1t alone has the power to ascertain
what votes have been cast and what votes
shall be counted and what declared to be
fraudulent.
Il believe that at least 500 illegal votes have
been cast against me in the county of Fayette
and, perhaps. nearly us many in the county OF
Franklin l shall make no frivolous contest
shall raise no technical questions nor enter
into contest about doubtful points but shall
reserve until next Saturday the right to have
such proceedings taken before the district
committee as will accord with my judgment.
The Enquirer's advices from differ.
ent counties is that the Breckenridge
men are quietly but earnestly work
ing so that they will have all the evi'
dence possible in the event that con,
test is made Saturday. 1t is generally
thought that every effort will be made
to get Breckinridge's friends on the
committee to consent to open con
test and hear evidence on the charge
of fraud especially in Scott county
the home of Owens.
CINCINNATI. Sept. 1S.-Corrected and
official returns from eight counties oi
the Ashland district show plurality
of 80 for Owens over Breckinridge.

We're exposed to the elements and did

action. He says he has ample statu-
