deputy, with the prisoner in custody,
walked hurriedy and unguarded' to the
main entrance and in a few moments
Dolby was behind the gray stone walls of
the penitentiary where he will spend the
next twenty years of his life at hard la
Dor. Quite a large crowd had collected
at the central station to see the prisoner,
and were disappointed to see only the SOL
diers when the train drew in. The crowd
was curious one, however, and no vio-
lence to the prisoner would have been at
tempted if he had been brought to the
union station in the train.
The trip from Washington c. H was
without incident. The mob was easily
controlled when the reinforeements of mi
litia arrived at Washington C. H. at 800
a. m. They gathered in little knots, but
offered no resistance. The prisoner was
at once taken from the Jail and placed

Col. Colt did not order the cartridges
taken from the rifles until the coal chute
two miles north of Washington c. H, was
passed, as there Sheriff Cook feared an
attack on the train might be made, but
the train was not molested.
Gov. Mckinley arrived from Cincinnati
at o'clock this morning, and after con-
sultation with Sheriff Cook of Fayette
county and receiving a number of tee-
grams from prominent citizens of Fay
cite county, ordered all the troops remain
ing on duty at Washington c. H. to their
homes. He says he is assured that there
will be no further lawlessness there.

the Columbus companies and one from
this place were already formed. The
train, which was special was held and
the troops escorted Dolby to the train.
There was no material demonstration,
the crowd having thinled out.

of the extensive plant Of the famous

burned: Car shops, blacksmith shops,
paint shed, horseshoe factory, locomotive

which were also stored a number of valu-
able patterns.
The contents of these buildings were
totally destroyed. Only the walls of
most of the burned buildings are
standing, and several of the gutted build
ings are deemed in a dangerous condition
and liable to collapse at any time.
A locomotive engine which had been
sold to the United States government to be
used in the work of improving the James
river was damaged past all use. Twenty
box and fiat cars were burned Seven of
these were the property of the Richmond
and Danville railroad, two belonged to
the Atlantic Coast Line, and the balance
were owned by the Chesapeake and Ohio
Five more were damaged, but can be re-
paired. Twenty cars built for use on
sugar-cane plantations in Cuba were in
the car shops ready for shipment. They
were all consumed
F. T. Glasgow, superintendent of the
foundry and car shop, stated to a re-
porter that the loss would hardly reach
$15O,0OO, though it would be nearly that
amount, The company carried an in
surance of $24S, 900.

this semi-official statement: "A day or
two after the last cabinet council. China
informed Great Britain that she was pre-
pared to negotiate for peace on certain
terms Great Britain made overtures to
the powers on a new basis of negotiation,
and asked Japan whether the terms of
such would form the basis of negotiations
for peace. Japan did not reply definitely,
but has not rejected the proposals. The
majority of the powers are In accord with
Great Britain. and there Is a likelihood
that the others will assent. The interven-
ton is purely diplomatic, and is offered
to both combatants in the frlendliest
spirit"

Of the port, and sensational rumors as
to an approaching attack are set afioat

reason to expect a sudden attack from
the Japanese soon.

warm one. There were present all the
lights of Tammany Hall. Among them
were Mayor Gllroy, Hugh j. Grant, James
J. Martin, Delaney Nicoll, John Bowers
and Mr.. Straus. The conference lasted
from to o'clock. Each and every one
one of them pleaded with Mr.. Straus
pointed out to him how critical the situa-
tion was, and urged upon him the impor-
tance of going slowly in a matter so
grave Nothing that was said by any of
those present moved Mr.. Straus In the
least from his determination to get off
the ticket unless his demand was acceded
to. He refused even TO consider the
matter.
Seeing that there was no possibility Of
changing his mind. the matter of another
candidate was then discussed. for there
seemed to be no doubt in the minds of
the leaders that another man would have
TO be selected to head the local ticket.
They felt that Senator Hill would not give
In, and they knew that Mr.. Straus would
not.
The batteries were then turned on ex-
Mayor Grant. He was urged to accept the
place held by Mr. Straus, but his replies
TO these propositions were as unsatisfac-
tory as those furnished the leaders by
Mr.. Straus.
When the conference came to a close,
the leaders were sure of one thing, and
that was that Mr.. Straus would not run
unless the Grace names were left off the
Grace ticket to be headed by Senator HILL
At a late hour the general opinion at
headquarters was that nothing will be
heard from either Mr.. Straus or Senator
Hill till morning.
Rochester, N. Y, Oct ia. l.. I<ink-
cad. secretary to Nathan Straus the Tam
many candidate for mayor Of New York
city, arrived here this Afternoon and as
soon as Senator Hin reached the Powers
hotel from Mount Morris had sent to
Senator Htilrs room a communication
from Mr.. Straus in which It was reported
Mr.. Straus said he would not run for
mayor on the Tammany ticket in case
Senator Hill allowed his name to head
the Grace Farehild New York county
ticket Senator Hill denied himself to all
comers between and o'clock, and In the
scclusion Of his room wrote an answer to
Mr.. Straus communication, which was
given Mr. Kinkend to take to Mr.. Straus.
Mr.. Kinkead left here on the $40 o'clock
train tonight for New York, but refused
to make any statement regarding the
nature of his mission. Senator HIN also
refused to be interviewed on the subject.
More than 5000 people heard Senator
Hill at the Lyceum theater this after
noon. Senator Hill spoke for an hour and
a half, referring particularly to the ap-
portionment issue, the exise question, the
record of the party on the tariff bill,
and the democratic administration. His
references to our patriotic President"
were loudly cheered but the greatest en-
thusiasm was evoked when he referred
to the democracy as firmly opposed to
religious intolerance. He was very hoarse
and appeared much fatigued by his con-
stant campaigning.
