mo RETURNS AT HAND
Why the City Council Could Not Can
YaSS the Vote Last Night.
LOCKED UP IN THE SAFE
City Attorney English Was Out of
Town-The Election. However.
VIII Not Be invaiidated-
- An Exciting Night.

Cool heads and wise counsel prevented
serious trouble in Anaconda last evening
a. . sequel to the late election excitement.
When the city council met in the city hall
for the purpose of canvassinR the vote OF
the election, 1t was discovered that the
returns were locked up in the safe of the
city clerk, ]. c. English. who IL In Boulder
defending Clay Pugh. No one knew the
combination aud what should be done was
problem. The statute states that the
city council shall canvass the vote as
given in the poll books within i've days
after the election. Mayor Thornton tele-
graphed to Mr.. English for the combina-
ton but no answer was received. Gus
Mayor Thornton during the afternoon
that the poll books would be turned over
to the council in time for the evening
meeting.
The council met and the books were not
forthcoming. After consultation as to
appointed Col. T. O'Leary city clerk to
act in the absence of Clerk English. DR..
Lesser was the only alderman who opposed
the appointment
1t was then moved that Chief White be
instructed to 60 to the city clerks Office
Lesser entered q protest against this ac-
ton. The order passed the council, how.
over, and Chief White started to carry out
the instructions Of the council. When he
arrived at the city clerks Office
he found Judge Rockwell, surround
ed by q crowd, standing guard at the door
and the door locked. The Office was dark
when the chief looked in and casually re-
marked that he guessed he'd have to
break in the door. Mr.. Rockwell said he
would not allow anything of the kind.
Chief White went on up the street and
secured the services of locksmith. He
reported to the council the condition of
things-the office locked and surrounded
by a crowd which refused him admission.
The council held long consultation
and decided not to go to the extreme of
breaking in the door. County Attorney
Winston and City Attorney-elect O'Leary
said il was not imperative that the re-
turns be canvassed last night and failure
to do SO would not affect the result of the
election.
The following resolution wasOthen
adopted:
The city council OF the city OF Anaconda hav.
ing met at the city hall In their usual place OF
turns OF the annual election, held In and for
said city of Anaconda on April 8, 1895, on the
18th day OF April, 1895, seven members OF the
city council and the mayor being present, and
the election returns not being furnished, and
the city clerk not being present, II is
Resolved, That the city council adjourn to
Monday evening, April is, 1895, at o'clock p
m. for the purpose of canvasslng the returns OF
said election; and 1t Is hereby ordered by the
city council that a notice be served on the
judges of election of the several wards OF the
city TO make returns Of said election to the city
council, the same to be served by the chief Of
police.

Nine. De Stael had fallen out with the
Viscount De Choiseul owing to certain
malicious reports circulated by the latter.
One day the lady and the viscount met in
company, on which occasion good man
ners required that they should speak to
each other. Nine. De Staei commenced.
I'VE have not seen you for a long while,
Monsieur De Choiseul."
''Ahi Madame pAmbassadrice, I have
been ILL.,"
seriously, monsieur"
81 had narrow escape from being
poisoned"
"Alas! Possibly you took q bite at your
own tongue?"
This little joke fell like a thunderbolt
on the viscount, who was a notorious
backbiter and mischief maker. The les
son was a severe one. but he richly de-
served it and had not a word to say.

IRE IN A CLEVELAND HOSPITAL.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 1.-The Deaconess
Home on Jennings avenue was burned to-
day. The building was wooden structure,
three stories high. In an incredibly short
time there was little left of the building
but few parts OF the side walls. The
flames had gained considerable Roadway
before the persons located on the top floor
discovered their perilous situation. 1t was
then too late to descend by the stairs, and
those on that floor gave up their lives.
Before the Fire Department had arrived
and before the flames had reached the out
side of the building Minnie Banner, one
of the nurses, appeared at an upper win
dow and implored those below to assist her
in getting out her patient, William
Allmeyer, one of the burned men. All
saw that it would be folly to attempt to
enter the building, which was now burn
ing fiercely.
"Jump to the porch and save yourself"
they cried, as she was but fifteen or sixteen
feet above the broad veranda roof.
81 can't leave my patient, was the reply
of the brave woman as she turned to look
back into the room to quiet the fears of
Allmeyer, who thought she was going to
leave him.
For moment the brave woman stood
looking down into the crowd below her and
the sense of duty triumphed over her de-
sire to be saved. The smoke was pouring
from the windows about her while her
startled face appeared as a picture in
frame of darkest ebony. She returned into
the room and was seen no more until her
blackened form was carried tenderly from
the building shortly after.
Aroused by the smoke James Ehret, one
of the patients, CROPPED his way to the side
window on the second floor and waved his
hand to those outside. His signal was
seen and two men secured ladders and
placed them to the windows. Ehret started
to climb down, but lost his hold and was
caught by those below. Four men were
taken from the burning building. One
was caught in blanket. The four corpses
were taken from the building before they
had been consumed by the fire. Jacob
Krause was found at the foot of the
stairs leading to the third floor. He
had been suffering from a fractured
skull and was suffocated. W. Allmeyer
was suffering from broken hip and was
also suffocated. Minnie Banner, the nurse,
who had remained to guard him, was
found terribly burned at the foot of the
bed. In an adjoining room vas found the
body of Walter Clark, eight months old he
had been suffocated. The four bodies were
placed in a dead-wagon and taken to the
morgue.
The dead are: Albert Allmeyer, Minnie
Banner, Walter Clark, an eight-month-
old baby, and Jacob Krauss.
The fire started in the basement, pre-
sumably from the furnace, and before it
could be extinguished four of the fifteen
patients in the house and hospital were
dead and the building was almost entirely
destroyed.

Mr.. Barron ever say anything to you in re-
gard to his relations with Mrs. Barron?'
''He did, particularly in the latter part
of 1891 and the early part of 1892. He said
they were making it hot for him at home,
and that they were always referring to the
disgrace that had been brought upon them
by the affair.
about two days before her husband
died / spoke to Mrs. Barron about the ad-
visibility of sending for George in order
that he might come home and see his
father. Mrs. Barron said there was no
danger of her husband, and that Georges
presence would probably irritate nm. Mr..
Barron was in a very critical condition at
the time, and died on November "a, 1898.
"a few days before her husband died
Mrs. Barron came to me, and said she
would like to have something added to the
will, and asked me if I thought it was too
late to attach codicil."
There were the usual objections by the
counsel for the proponents to this testi-
mony, and Mr.. Delmas said he would not
urge it at this time. 1t was then an
nounced that the direct examination OF
Witness Sullivan was closed.
Judge Lorigan announced an adjourn
ment till next Monday morning.

SHUTS OUT OLD WARRANrs.
Judge Langley of Seattle. Wdsh., Renders
an T7nportdat Decision.

SEATTLE, Feb. Judge Langley. in the
Superior Court to-day rendered a decision
of vital Importance to holders of school
district warrants of this State. The law
provides that the board may levy tax
amounting to $4,000 year for new build
ings and sites without special vote of the
people. The board this year made the
extra levy, but proposed applying it to
running expenses. The people of Queen
Anne Hill want a new school and they
sought to restrain the board from applying
this money to running expenses, claiming
that it should be treated as a separate
fund.
Judge Langley decides in their favor,
and also declares that the levy of the year
can only be applied to paying the expenses
of the year and go to redeeming old war
rants. This shuts out warrants for several
hundred thousand dollars issued prior to
the current school year. The only way in
which these old warrants can be paid under
this ruling is by an extra levy or by bond
issue, for which new legislation would be
necessary

THE REV. MRS. SHAW TALKS
She Cannot Condeseend to Answer
DR.. Hawthorn.
Sensation Of the Day at the Woman's
Suffrage Convention Down in
Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 1.-The sensation of
this mornings session of the Woman SUI
fragists' convention was sharp attack on
the Rev. J. B. Hawthorn, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Atlanta, by the
Rev. Anna Shaw of Pittsburg. She arose
to question of personal privilege, holding
in her hand copy of a morning paper.
81 DESIRE" she said, ito call attention to
an error in this paper in the statement
that l referred to Mr.. Hawthorn when 1
mentioned that some one had said that
women ought not to vote because they were
not taxed. I did not refer to Mr.. Haw-
thorn. If the newspaper report of Mr..
Hawthorn's sermon is correct it was I'M
gentlemanly, uncalled for and unmanly for
him to go out of his way to attack a num-
Der of strangers. l did not answer DR..
Hawthorn. No lady will attempt to
answer him; she can't descend to that
plane"
The remarks were greeted with wild ap-
plause, which would subside for a mo-
ment only to break forth again at a fresh
thrust.
Mrs. Taylor Upton read her report as
treasurer, showing surplus on hand of
over $500 out of some $1,000 received dur
ing the year.
At the afternoon session Mrs. Laura
Clay of Kentucky, daughter of General
Cassius M. Clay, reported for the Southern
committee that the movement was adj
vancing in this section, though many diff
culties had been met.
In behalf of the committee on plan of
work, Mrs. Caroline Chapman Call re-
ported recommendation for raising $4,000
for carrying on the work, and that special
attention be given South Carolina, Utah
and Tennessee, where constitutional con-
ventions will probably soon be held, and
to Idaho and Michigan, where female suf-
frage amendments will be submitted to
the people.
A course of study similar to the inter
national Sunday schools was also recon-
mended. A subscription was at once
taken and $1,000 of the $4,000 asked for was
raised.
