Fought For Liberty.

WESTON, W. Va, Jan. 15-Calvert and
Hennon Fleming, two notorious outlaws,
for whom the state of Virginia offers a re-
ward of 5000 and the county Of Wise $500,
have been captured. They are charged
with having committed five different muir
ders and several highway robberies. They
successfully evaded the officers OF the law
and made their way overland TO Boggs,
this state, In the mountains. They believed
themselves to be safe.
They stopped at the store Of John Boggs,
about nine miles from Gowen, a station on
the West Virginia and Pennsylvania rail
road, in which store the postofllce for the
village was kept The outlaws had been
traced TO this neighborhood by four officers
from Virginia who were seeking their ar
rest
While the Flemings were engaged 10
making some purchases at the store the
officers came in and readily identified
them. They demanded an immediate sur
render, but the desperadoes resisted arrest
and opened fire upon their pursuers Shots
were returned by the officers, and n fierce
conflict for life ensued.
Calvert Fleming was killed outright,
aud his brother Hennon was mortally
wounded with three shots In his left breast.
He is still alive. Two OF the officers, John
II. Branham and Doc Swannell, were Sc
riously wounded The injuries Of the for
mer are considered fatal A clerk In the
store was also shot in the struggle, but Is
not thought 10 be dangerously hurt

LOOKS DARK FOR MELLo.
Brazilian Insurgents Sustain Defeats and
Abandon Bage.

RIO DE JANEIRo, Jan. 15.-News was re
ceiyed in this city from the south Of
character most encouraging to the Brazil
Ian government and disheartening TO the
lnsurgent admiral. II was TO the effect
that the long expected and much relied
apon re-enforcements from Santa Gather
ma are unlikely to give anything like
prompt assistance TO their fellow insur-
gents who are now in the Rio harbor. In
fact IL now looks as IL the revolutionary
leaders at Santa Catherine would be un-
able to lend any aid to Admiral da Cana
The serious illness Of Admiral dc Mello
on board the Republica has had an ap-
parently disastrous effect upon the insur-
gent forces in the southern part Of the re-
public In Rio Grande do Sui the insur-
gents have raised the siege Of Bage and
have left that city in triumphant possession
Of the government garrison. In a number
Of other engagements in the south the
revolutionists have suffered defeat and
many of De Mello's men have been wound
ed or killed.
Unless DE Mello rapidly RECEIVERS from
his illness and is able by bis presence to
reanimate his men the outlook for the in
surgents Is very dark indeed. Discomfort
is said to prevail to a large extent In their
ranks, and desertions are said to be nu-
merous. Fever is also thinning the in
surgent army. Unless something be quick
! ly done De Mello will lose fully one-half
Of his entire force in the south.
It is very probable that this news will
lead to greater activity than ever on the
part Of Peixoto, and that battle between
his troops and the insurgent squadron and
forts Of decisive character will be fought
within a very short time. The inhabitants
Of Rio are heartily tired of the war, and
the epidemics now raging here make the
desire for restoration Of peace all the
stronger on the part Of the citizens gen
orally.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-The Pacific
Mail steamship City Of Peking brought de-
tails from Ningpo Of one Of the most terri
bic fires on record, which occurred in the
big temple in that city on Dec and caused
the death Of nearly 300 women and chill
dren. The annual theatrical performance
in honor Of the gods was being given in
the temple. "A boy threw a lighted ciga-
rette into leap of straw, which blazed up,
and the burning staircase prevented the
people from getting out There was a
general rush to escape. Some were
trampled TO death, others jumped out Of
the windows aud were either killed or so
badly injured they were unable to escape
the flames and so perished, while others
passively awaited their fate which was
not long in overtaking them, and they
were roasted alive or suffocated by the

to BE withheld.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-From the
statement of The Examiners Honolulu
correspondent there is prospect that
United States officials either at Honolulu
or in the United States may have to an
swer to the charge of breaking faith with
President Dole. 1t is said that Minister
Willis grew impatient at Dole's delay in
formulating his reply to Willis demand Of

upon Dole called upon Willis and frankly
admitted he did not propose TO submit his
reply until the arrival Of vessel on which
1t could be dispatched simultaneously with
the departure Of the Corwin.
Thereupon Willis agreed that the Cor
win should carry the dispatches Of the pro-
visional government Dole then hurried
forward his reply and sent it to Willis,
who dispatched the Corwin early next
morning 1t transpires that no dispatches
were delivered by the Corwin to Hawaiian
representatives In California.
The Examiners correspondent also says
Liliuokalani's death from heart disease is
liable TO occur at any moment Smother ing
spells have come upon her with alarming
frequency of late. Visitors are prohibited,
and every precautiOn is taken to prevent

CHAUNCEY NJ. DEPEw.


the king OF Italy wished to see him requires
revision. He says a message was sent him
that the king would be happy to receive
him II he could wait till Monday. The
truth of the matter is that Mr.. Depeag
seemed specially anxious TO have an audi
ence with the king. He asked for It before
Thursday, on which day he was leaving.
The reply was that it was not possible
Then Mr.. Depew said that he would stop
until Monday If he could obtain the audi
ence. Naturally il was impossible to open
the question again at the court.
His piteous lament that his attempt TO
obtain a free pass over the poor italian
railroads failed IS not considered fiattering
to a Ran in his position, while his absurd
and Insulting attack upon the people who
hunt here has earned for him the resent
ment Of the social and sporting element

TO the attack: "These charges are all false.

is very thin and unjust.
What Made Him Enemies.
"There was nothing said or done in re-
gard to an arrangement for an audience
with the king that should excite adverse
criticism. The whole matter was just
this: The American minister called and
told me that he thought an interview
could be arranged This was on a Wednes-
day. I told the minister that deemed
the affair a great honor and asked him If
he could not fix it so that could call the
next day. He informed me TO the con-
trary, and then said that my plans were
such that would be prevented from see
ing the king My steamer was to sail
shortly, and TO be presented later than
Thursday would be impossible. He then
said he could arrange it for Monday, but
circumstances compelled me to refrain
from waiting.

French officials and was refused. My only
reason for seeking them was to gain

"The only thing / treated lightly" he
continued, was my experience with the
Italian guide and my observations ON the
Italian fox hunt. now commence 20 be
lieve that my expressions about the hunt
induced this gossip as much as anything
else."
Here Mr.. Depew laughed heartily as he
recalled the incident He was much sur
prised that what seems to be the bitter
ness Of some enemy or enemies should be
vented in this peculiar manner.

FOR A GREATER NEW YORK
A Busy Week Begun by tho Lawmakers
at Albany.


ALBANY, Jan. l5.-For the third week IN
the legislature this will probably be the
most important in many years. Contrary
to the usual method Of proceeding, a great
many Of the more important measures pro-
posed for the session were introduced dur
ing the first few days
Perhaps the most important work OF the
week will be the hearing before the cities
committees OF the senate and assembly on
Wednesday afternoon for the bill provid-
ing and submitting to the people Of the
territory sought TO be consolidated the
question Of a greater New York. The hear
ing will be held in the senate chamber,
and large delegations are expected to be
present.
On Tuesday afternoon the same commit
tees will meet to bear arguments upon the
Buffalo charter amendments designed TO
restore the charter 10 the shnpe in which
Il was last year before the Sheehan bills
were passed. lt Is expected that very large
delegations to support both sides Of the
question will be present from Buffalo.
No date has as yet been set by the com
mittee on judiciary OF either house for
hearings upon the proposed amendments
10 the election laws, and probably there
will not be any this week. Neither has
any day been set for a hearing upon Sena-
tor Leow's bill providing for nonpartisan
police commission in New York city. This
is a subject upon which other bills are liza
BILE to be introduced, probable one being
the measure to be prepared by Eiihu Root
which will divorce the election bureau
from the police commissioners and have 4

His Interview with the Pope Are I'M
just-Refused Railroad Passes In France.
NEwYoRK, Jan. l5-The Herald today
publishes the following attack on Mr.. De
pew as sent from Rome:
Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew's extraordinary
expressions Of opinions on his visit TO Rome
In the form Of an interview in New York
paper have just reached here, he having
flooded the town with marked copies Of
the journal. II may interest Mr.. Depew
to know that his utterances, which he
seems so proud Of and 80 anxious TO dis
seminate, have not made him popular. IL
is almost incomprehensible TO the best
classes of people here that an educated
man should give vent to expressions 30
crude, puerile and inaccurate as he has
done. His heavy butfoonery falls fiat.
That Audience with the Pope.
Mr.. Depew's statement that the pope
gives no private audiences 10 laymen or TO
private persons, but made an exception in
the case OF tho great Chauncey, is ridicu-
lous. The pope receives private persons
daily at private audiences. At the same
time the pope had no idea that Mr. Depew
was going to use the audience to puff him
self. People in Rome are still laughing at
the elation of Mr.. Charncey NJ. Depew
After he was received by the pope he rushed
round exoitedly, buttonholed all he met
and poured forth the tale into their ears
He became one Of the jokes Of the moment
