They Don't Think the Bell Company Has
Any Case at All.
a number OF members Of the Common
Council and Board of Aldermen have been
interviewed concerning The injunction OBJ
tanned by the Bell Telephone Company

Vaung opinion among them is that the
telephone company has no case whatever.
and that when the matter comes up ia
tho United States Coz on November

solved.

cn. said last night that he had no idea
that the company had any right to shell

States and defy the city Council 10 re-

A FATAL FIRE.
Fifteen or Twenty Thought to Have Perished
in Burning BuiIding-Charred Re-
mains of -Four Exposed to View.

New York, Aug. 11.-There was a fatal
fire this afternoon in the building at 465,
467 and 468 Greenwich street, occupied by
the A. K. Warren Electric Repair works
and "a number of smaller firms. In the
excitement attending the outbreak 1t was
first reported that at least thirty lives
were lost. Some of those reported lost
were afterwards accounted for. The ac-
curate number of victims will not be
known until the ruins are searched. IT
is believed, however, that the death list
will prove to be fifteen or twenty.
While the firemen were fighting the
flames the bodies of two victims could be
plainly seen on the fire escape. Five men
and boys were injured while escaping
from the burning building. They were
taken to the Hudson street hospital,
mangled and burned.
What caused the fire is not known, but
1t is believed to have been started by an
explosion. 1t is known that an explosion
occurred a few minutes after the fire
broke out. The fire spread like flash
through the building at No. 465, where
the fire originated, and cut off the escape
of many The firemen who first reached
the scene of the conflagration saw num-
ber of men at the windows appealing Tor
help, but before any attempt at rescue
could be made they fell back exhausted
by the heat and smoke, and all are sup
posed to have perished in the flames.
Altogether there were about thirty-two
men employed by the Warren company.
There were fifteen on the sixth or top
floor, eleven on the fifth, four on the
fourth and two in the Office ON the ground
floor,
From the stories told by those who
claimed to have been near by when the
first alarm was given faces were seen at
nearly every window. That at least four
are dead in the ruins there can be no
doubt. for their charred bodies lie ex-
posed to view on the fire escapes of the
third and fifth stories. Two others, one
a girl, were seen to fall back in the
flames, overcome probably by the smoke
before the fire touched them.

FALKNER RETURNS
To Montgomery and Tells What He Saw in In
dianapoIs-Thos. H. Clarke for Chairman
of the Executive Committee.

Montgomery, Aug. 11.-(Special.)-Cap-
tain Falkner returned last night from In
dianapolis, where he attended the nation
al sound money conference as the dele
gate from Alabama. He returned full OF
hope and words of good cheer for the 1T
tie sound money band. Mr.. Dent of Eu-
faula, chairman of the state central COM
mittee, was here today in conference with
Captain Falkner and the resident MEM
bers of the committee. They are en-
gagged in selecting state executive COM
mittee and in considering dates for the
primaries and county conventions, etc.
August 20 will probably be selected as the
date for the primaries and August 27 for
the convention. 1t is stated that Hon.
Thomas H. Clark will probably be the
chairman of the state executive commit
tee. The committee established head
quarters here today at the corner of Dex-
ter avenue and Perry street.

in April can now refuse to support the
Chicago ticket. In other words, demo-
crat might refuse to vote If he partici-
pated in the primary (and in this I be-
lieve he would be recreant to his duty and
obligation); but cannot see how he can
reconcile his action in supporting another
electoral ticket.
1.-The republican platform denounces
Mr. Cleveland, denounces his bond issue,
denounces his administration, and insists
with violent language that he is respon-
sible for the panics we have had during
his administration and for the depression
in trade which has prevailed. In view of
the bitter denunciatfons contained in the
republican platform, 1 cannot see how
any sound money democrat who claims
to be friend of Mr.. Cleveland can think
for moment of voting for Mckinley"
I need make no comment on Mr.. Rus
sells views and their manly expression.
None Is needed to add their cogency with
thinking men who are also honest men.

HERE'S A CORKER.
Kansas Republican State Convention Opens
UP in Camp Meeting Style.

Topeka, Kas.. Aug. 1.-THE repub-
lican state convention opened here today
in camp meeting style, 5000 delegates and
visitors uniting in singing new version
of the popular hymn, Throw Out the
Life Line" led by Rev. John A. Bright
of Topeka, who then invoked divine bless
ing.
When the convention was called to or
der no time was lost In testing the
strength of the Morrill, and anti-Morrill
forces, the former nominating C. M. Shell
don of Usage county for temporary chair
man and the latter ]. f. Greenlee of Reno
county. Sheldon was easily elected by a.
vote of 624 to 229. This practically set
tied the gubernatorlal contest and fore
shadows the denomination Of Governor
Morrill, on the first ballot.
After the appointment of the usual
committees the convention adjourned.
The interest of the convention Is CEN
tered In the contest for chief Justice The
fight against the incumbent, Judge David
Martin. has grown extremely bitter.
Judge T. F. Carver of the appellate court
is the strongest opposition candidate.
