BIG FIRE At WASHINGTON.

The Watson Building Destroyed, Entailing
Loss of $4,000.
Washington, Pa, April 9.-Wash-
ington was visited by fire this morn
ing by which about $4,000 worth of
property was destroyed in three hours.
At /: 80 o'clock smoke was discovered
issuing from the drug store of G. w.
Roberts, in the Watson building,
across CHEEKY alley from the town hall
and Court House. There were rumors
that a clerk was being suffocated in
the store, and the front doors were
mashed open with a stone step. No
one was in the store, but the fire,
which at first was very slight, began to
spread among the drugs. The situa-
ton was peculiarly unfortunate, as the
city water had been turned off at mid
night to repair aleak in the main, and
the fire in this way got 10 minutes
start.
At 2 a. m. sheet of flame swept
through the store and out into the
street. The south end of the building
was on fire from cellar to roof, and tho
county officials were gathering their
dOckets together and preparing to
have them hauled away. At this point
the water came on with force and the
firemen with six strong streams got
the flames under control in 80 minutes.
The losses are as follows; Damage to
building, $4,000; Roberts's drug store,
$4,000; Thomas Morgan, dry goods,
$4,000; Crawford's photograph gallery,
$1,000. A. G. Happier, insurance; law
offices of l. Y. Hamilton, District At
torney Parker, Alexander Wilson, o.
II. Henderson, los unknown, and l.. A.
Marsh & Son, real estate, al suffered
small losses. All losses in the law
office and photograph gallery are COW
cred by insurance.
The fire was confined to the Watson
building. Its origin is unknown, but
it is supposed to have been caused by
spontaneous combustion.

ALMOST A LYNCHING.

Special to the Register.
Romney, w. Va, April "a lynch
ing was only averted last night by the
prompt action of the authorities. Dan
Shawen, the murderer of Abe Iser,
whose sentence was committed by the
Governor to life Imprisonment a few
days ago, was still in Jail, as the Off
cial papers had not been received from
the Governor. Late yesterday evening
J. NJ Woods, one of the prisoners at
torneys, accidentally learned that
crowd had been organized out in the
country for the purpose of lynching
the prisoner that night. Judge Daley
and Sheriff Pugh both being absent,
the matter was laid before the prose
cutting attorney, w. 3. Cornwell and
Jailer Polling, who at once secured a
team TO take the prisoner to keyser,
eighteen miles across the country. The
prisoner was taken out and the start
was made in a binding rain storm.
However, a stream near the town was
so swollen that the party was unable
to cross. so they drove down the river
three miles to an out of the way house
and there remained until morning.
The prisoner was then taken on board
the early morning train at a neigh
boring station and started for the State

With Twelve Jurors.

SEATTLE. Aug. "a long-standing
feud in Samisn, Skagit county, ended
this morning in a savage battle. in
which six men were injured, two of
| them perhaps fatally. The quarrel
arose between Edward Baldwin, sa-
loon keeper, who has recently started
ferry from Samish to Edison, and A.
Wheeler, who occasionally worked for
J. W. White, owner of the ferry which
has been running for several years.
White was at work on the beach be-
low the bluff. on which his house is
located. and Wheeler was on the front
porch. Baldwin and his followers
came up and began abusing Wheeler
in threatening manner. and Wheeler
cIlled White. Then Baldwin and his
followers left. Wheeler and White
started for the warehouse on the wharf,
when Baldwin, Ozro Perkins, L. Toop
and A. Worden appeared and followed.
The approach. to the warehouse is
long and at the left il stairway lead
ing down TO the small boats. White
started down this stairway to his sloop,
and Wheeler continued toward the
warehouse. Here he was overtaken
by Baldwin. Perkins and Toop, and
the fight began. 1t cannot be definitely
learned who fired the hrst shot. When
the smoke cleared away Wheeler was
injured and attempted to escape around
the warehouse, but WAS overtaken, his
pursuers beating him in a brutal man
ner. He made another attempt to es-
cape. running aroung 10 the door of
the warehouse, and falling as Whar-
finger Dean appeared at the door.
Meanwhile White had climed to the
wharf and was going to Wheeler's res
cue. when he was struck on the lead
with an iron bar by Worden and fell
Wheeler's pursuers were
driven off by Wharfn ger Dean. but re-
peatedly renewed their attacks with |
the intention of finishing the victim; !
also threatening the whar6nger unless
he desisted from interfering. Wheeler !
was shot and kicked and beaten after !
falling. and it is due to Wharfingers
Deans firmness that he is now alive.

A Juror Challenged.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. l2.-The
feature of the trial of Theodor,
Durrant this morning was the decisior
of Judge Murphy upon the application"
of the district attorney for permission
to pre-emptorily challenge Juror w. 8.
Brown, on the ground that Brown had
voted to acquit M. D. Howell on II
charge of forgery because the evidence
was circumstantial. The court read
q long opinion. citing various de-
cisions. and finally allowed Brown to
be challenged. The defense took an
exception and may make the decision
one point Of appeal il the case goes
against them.
Jurors are now harder to find than
ever. all fearing their past will be ex-
plotted by detectives for the prosecu.
tion or defense, and if the jurors
record Is good, they fear that some
innocer act may be distorted.

Situation Alarming. ?

MASON CITY, Ia. Aug. 9.-Bishop
Thorbourn. the missionary bishop OF
the Methodist Episcopal church, was
interviewed last night relative to the
massacre of the Christians in China,
and. knowing all about the conditions
there, he pronounces the situation
very alarming. He is fearful that a
general slaughter will soon follow:
He looks for China to attempt to kill
or famish all missionaries. but says
that he does not believe that this can
be done. Asked regarding his opinion
as to what should be done. he said the
European powers should at once put 3
strong armed force at the principal
ports of China and the nation should
be taken by the throat and made to
behave. What is true Of China, he
says, is true Of Turkey.
