FIREMEN BADLY FROSTBITTEN.
Two of Them So Badly that Their Condi
tion is Critical,


BRADFORD, Pa, JAN 13.-At 6:45 this
morning fire broke out in the Sheehan
house, 80 Mechanic street. The cause of the
fire is said to have been an overheated
stove. An alarm was sent in and the de-
partment responded promptly. When Chief
Ropp arrived on the scene he saw that the
confagration was one that would necessi-
tate the force of the entire department, so
general alarm was sent in and the in
dependent companies arrived quickly. Con-
siderable time was lost in getting water on
account of the severe cold weather, which
froze some of the drips in the hydrants.
A number of firemen are suffering from
frozen hands and feet Mrs. Peterson's
two daughters and son, who lived over a
barber shop, had a narrow escape. Mary
Callahan, a, guest at the. sheehan house,
was aroused by the cry of fire and ran to
the head of the stairs and lost her footing,
falling down the stairs and breaking her
arm and leg. She was removed to a neigh
boring, house. The fire ragged four hours.

mometer registered zero, making it diff

Washington was presented to President Dole
and the executive council on December 81
by the American league. The petition is
strong one and makes several telling points
II sets forth that since the question of the
islands was in congress before many fresh
facts have come to light and many members
OF the senate and house have changed their
minds upon the subject. In every instance
the alteration of views has been from hostil-
ity to frlendllness for Hawaii, Even the
administration now has ample and 1ustihable
grounds for treating the matter differently
and is now in possession Of reliable data.
In 1893 IL acted upon misinformatlon The
petition further states that the sending OF
another commissioner will force the treat
ment of the issue strictly upon its merits.
Prejudice has been largely removed and par
tisanship eliminated to greater degree
than ever, The appearance of a second COM
missioner before the same congress will show
that the people here are firm in the deter
minatlon to secure a closer union with the
United States. The petitioners had an en-
thusastic reception at the league the former
night, Ii covers TO nicely a subject that
has been discussed not a little in the league
and on the outside. The letter suggests a
single man as the delegation, but the indi-
yidual in mind was not mentioned in the pc
titon.

cuARGEs AGAINST Il coNGREssMAN
Miles Crowley Of Texas Accused of Black
mail and Being Thief.

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. 13.-A sensational re-
port was filed in the state senate yesterday
in the shape of a memorial from j. W.
Terry of Galveston. The memorial prefers
charges against Senator Miles Crowley,
from Galveston, who was recently elected
congressman from the Tenth district The
charges are many, but the most important
are those accusing him of blackmailing. 1t
is charged that in his capacity senator
he threatened, and in fact did, prepare a
bill that would have proven damaging to
the interests of the Pullman Palace Car
company, and that he introduced this bill
for no other purpose than to make the COM
pany give him pass In substantiation of
this charge the petition cites that while he
was in the committee some member of the
Pullman company gave Crowley a pass, and
thus satisfying him, Crowley made no fur
ther efforts to secure the passage of the
bill. The memorial recites n number of
other charges of minor importance among
them he being charged with being thief.
1t is desired that the senate impeach Crow
ley. The matter was referred to com
mittee, Crowley laughs at the charges.
