DISCOVERED IN TINE.
An Old Lady Narrowly Escapes q
Horrible Death.


AUNT" Harriet Pierson, most es-
timable old lady, lives in one of F. B.
Mulford's houses on Lemon street.
The old lady lives alone, and last
night she had narrow escape from
being burned to death in her bedroom
or snffocating.
Mr.. Milford does not live very far
away and just before midnight William
Spencer rushed to his house and rang
his door bell, and beat and banged
the door to arouse Mr.. Mulford, and
told him his Lemon street house was
on fire. Mr.. Mulford got up and they
went quickly to the Lemon street
house, which they en,ered and found
smoke proceeding from Mrs. Persons
bedroom.
Forcing an entrance they f und the
old lady in bed, the room full of smoke
and the carpet on fire. The fire was
blazing, but slowly eating it's way
around the carpeG In which hole was
burned of COL -iderable siza, as Mr..
Mulford put 1t '',s big as bushel bas-
ket."
1t seems that Mrs. Pierson had been
smoking her pipe and either ashes
from 1t had fred the carpet or she had
laid 1t down without extinguishing the
fire In it.
Had the discovery not been made
by Mr.. Spencer 1t Is quite probably
that Mrs. Pierson would have suffo-
Gated or a serious fire might have re-
suited.

and seemingly unbee led by the driver
OF the team. His attention to the
team crossing the track was attracted
by the fireman, and the engineer i1n-
mediately put on brakes, and an alarro
whistle sounded. The engine was re-
versed and brought to standstill q

On cross-examination the engineer
said that train running at the rate
OF thirty miles an hour, could b.

800 feet. Always going south, the. en-

A SIMPLE INAUGURATION.
Mckinley Again Takes the Oath of
Office as Governor.

Columbus, O., Jan. S.--GOv. Mckinley
entered upon his second term at noon
today. The weather was beautiful and
not for years have larger crowds at
tended inauguration ceremonies than
those that ill Columbus streets now.
The state military was represented in
the parade by parts of nire regiments
and several companies of United States
troops were in the procession. But the
political clubs formed the feature Of
the parade, the number of different Or
carnations of this kind their uni
forms and fine appearance being the
subject of general remark.
Promptly at noon Gov. Mckinley
took the oath of office administered
by Chief Justice J. p. Bradbury, Of
the OHIO supreme court, and at once
delivered his inaugural address. This
took place on the west front of the
capitol.
The governor, accompanied by his
staff and members of the legislature.
then proceeded to the reviewing stand
and witnessed the parade. After this
they went to 1.-THE senate chamber,

on two previous occasions in the behalf
that possibly he had something new
TO present.
The colloquoy between the speaker
and Reed continued for some time.
The speaker then stated that the pre-
yious question, or the report from the
committee on rules, had been demand
ed and a vote was taken. The repub-
leans too refused to vote as they did
last week and several democrats, head
ed by Sperry, of Connecticut, also de-
cllned to answer to their names.
The demand for the previous ques-
tor on taking up of the tariff bill was
carried, IS to 0, ten more than a
quorum. Thirty minutes for debate
is allowed under the rules.
Immediately after the adoption OF
the rule committees report, Chairman
Wilson rose and opened the debate on
the tariff bill. Wilson said that the
American people had given this ad-
n.irlStration definite instructions re-
garding the tariff The bill about to
be considered presents a scheme for
tariff reform to be dealt with accord
Ing to the deliberate judgment of the
house. Covering so wide field of
legislation and dealing with so many
subjects, the bill must necessarily rep
resent in its details some compromise
opinion. If the bill is passed by con
SreSS, under the present condition at
least, it must necessarily represent
such compromise. The great CONNER
clal panic which has come upon the
country, paralyZing so many industries
and throwing so many thousands out
OF employment, has made the task Of
reform more difficult. When could we
with greater benefit take some of the
letters from production and trade than
when production is suppressed by bur-
dens and trade hampered by restric-
tons.
Wilson spoke II some length. rccit-
ing the advantages of the different por-
lions of the bill as he sees them.
CatchingS opened the debate for the
democrats and was replied TO by Reed,
who urged that there was no necessity
for crowding this measure.

Washington, Jan. S.-William Is.
Hornblower, President Cleveland's
nominee for the vacancy on the United
States supreme bench, received a
Knockout blow today. At the meeting
OF the senate judiciary committee Sen
ator Hill was instructed to make an
unfavorable report from a majority of
the committee on the nomination.
Mr.. Hill will obey his instructions
with much pleasure. He has been gun
ming for Cleveland's man for months,
and now apparently the game is in
his hands. While the report does not
make confirmation absolutely impossi-
BILE. 1t is thought that Hornblower's
fate is settled.
1t is understood that two members
OF the committee, MesSrs. Teller and
Lindsay, were absent. 1t is not known
how Teller would have voted, and he
might not have voted at all, but Lind
say would have probably stood by Mr..
Hornblower.
There is some talk of double dealing
i'll the matter, as it was distinctly I'M
derstood as late as Saturday that Sen
ator Pugh would not allow the com
mittee to act on this case until the full
committee could be present Hill, Coke
and Chairman Pugh opposed Horn
blower.
The republican members of the COM
mlttee agreed to an unfavOrable re-
port, believing it best to let the demo
Gratis settle the quarrel among them
selves.
The fight OH Hornblower has been
wicked. While that gentleman is a
capable lawyer, his attitude toward
corporations and the apprehension that
he might overturn important decisions
affecting railroads caused him to be
subjected to the Sharpest sort of criti-
cism.
Besides this there was another ugly
factor. 1t has been claimed-and is.
in fact, almost undisputed-that not
capacity or worth, but Mr. Cleyeland'S
personal fri' rdship impelled the presi-
dent to send Mr.. Hornblower's name
to the senate.
Personal politics in regard to su-
preme court justiceships is not ap-
preciated in Washington or elsewhere
And so HOrnbloWer was sacrificed, not
because he was not well equipped for
the lofty position which he coveted,
but because he was Grover Cleveland's
friend.

SEBO1GAN'S FIRE.
The Lake Shore City Suffers a Sc
we're Loss

Sheboygan, Wis. Jan. S.-The plant
of the Halsted Manufacturing com
pany was totally destroyed by fire
shortly after midnight. The loss is
placed at $4,000 with insurance at
$4,000.
The company maintained the plant
in connection with the Nation Manu-
wardrobes and kitchen furniture. The
main building was a three-story frame
structure With large dry kiln adjoin-
ing it. The fire was discovered in the
west corner of the second story about
half an hour after midnight. The
Waterman turned in an alarm lmme-
diately but the flames had Il good start
by the time the apparatus came. The
night was very cold and that inter
fered considerably with the work of
the fremen,, and the fire was soon be-
yond their control. The main build
ing and the dry kiln were both filled
with inf1a mmable material and both
We're burned to the ground.
The origin of the fire is not known
The plant was not operated Saturday,
and it is not known that there was any
fire in the part of the building in which
the fire started. There is, however,
no suspicion of incendiarism.
The loss on the plant itself will not
exceed $4,000, the bulk of the loss
being on material and goods entirely
and partially manufactured. Saturday
