GUESTS FRIGHTENED.
Fire in a New York Hotel cre-
ates a Panic.
SOME LODGERs GET HYsTERICAL.

Aroused by the Ringing of tho Automatic
signals the sieepers Tumble Out of He'd
and Rush for the Railways, which They
find Full of smoke-Ali Escape In Safe
" Although the Services OF Physicians
Were Required in Some Gases.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3. Fire started ia the
drying room In the basement of the Gilsey
house early Tuesday morning, caused no
Ittie excitement among the 224 guests in
the house, many Of whom became hysteri-
cal, while others fell downstairs In their
enoits to escape from the building. For
time the Railways were filled with
smoke and there was every indication that
the building would bo consumed. The
lire was discovered while the guests were
still asleep. The watchman touched off
the automatic signals which communi-
Gated with the various floors of the hotel
TO alarm the guests and then hurried to
the nearest fire alarm box and turn in tho
alarm.
Railways Filled with Smoke.
Aroused by the ringing OF the automat-
ic signals the guests scrambled out of bed
and into whatever clothing they could
first lay their hands on, and then bolted
out Of tho rooms into the Railways. They
found them filed with smoke. There
was no end of screaming by the women
and shouting by the men, many of whom
rushed for the elevator, while others
rushed madly for the stairways. In their
efforts TO reach the ground floor and the
street several women fell down flights of
stairs. Others crowded into the elevators
and were hurried down to the dining
room floor. The elevator took load after
load of tho frightened guests to places of
safety. The women were crowded into
the dining room and the men were al
lowed to take care of themselves.
Women Become Hysterical.
Many of the guests had nothing on
them but wraps and pajamas. While in
the dining room a number of the women
became hysterical and physician had to
be called. Several servants who were on
the sixth floor thinking that retreat had
been cut off by the flames, made for the
fire escapes and climbed downk the first
floor in the sight of hundreds OF people on
the sidewalks. AT the first floor they
were taken into windows and cared for.
On the arrival of the engines in response
20 the first alarm the smoke was so thick
/ a second alarm was sent in. In short
time the fire was extinguished and the
guests filed back to their apartments.
The total damage will not amount to
more than $500.

THE SCHOOL A

GERS and spent the funds w~iselvnanG
economically.--News.
Here is just what the Grand Jury
repor,ed.
In the mater of the charges Of I'M
lawful EXPENDITURE of moneys by the
School Board Of Dist. No l, these
charges on investigation reveal the
following facts: First, that there was
a violation of the law in this respect
more than $500 having been expended
in violation Of Sec. 2, Art. 5, of the
school law. We are satisfied. however
from all the Investigations made that
necessary, but actually a great neces-
sity. Second, all material was pur-
chased at the lowest market price and
was of the best quality the wages
paid were only fair, usual and reason
able. Third. that no member of the
Board had any interest in the expen-
diture other than the welfare of the
County. No penalty being subscri-
bed for a violation of Sec 2. Art, 5.
the law becomes imperative. Said
law in u opinion should be amend
ed to make its provisions effective.
The Board violated their oaths be
cause they could dodge the consequent
ces of penalty. To say that no mem
Der of the Board had any interest
other than the welfare of the county is
ridiculous, because the fat end Of the
job went TO a relative of the Board.
Gloss it over as you please, the law
was violated and had it been let to the
lowest bidders as the law prescribes it
would have been a saving and other
taxpayers aside from relatives of the

A Word to the Silver Party

When the time comes to elect dele
gates to the National Silver Conven-
ton which is to meet at st. Lois,
Mo. next Summer the Reville propo-
ses that such a selection be left
with the State Central Committee Of
Nevada. This would avoid the ex-
pense of calling a State Convention to
elect delegates to st. Louis, which
would be necessary, unless he authOri-
ty is delegated to our State Central
Committee; and more, it would avoid
two State Conventions of our Silver
Party, this year. as it would be too
early to nominate our State Ticket at
the same time the National Delegates
are elected. Therefore let the State
Central Committee elect the delegates
to the St Louis Convention.-Revil'f

LIKELY TO BE RIDDLE.
He is Making the Hardest Fight for
Gov. Anthony's Place.

There will in all probability be an
appointment of some one as superin-
tendent of insurance either late this
evening or tomorrow. Governor Nor
rill will return from Colorado this ev-
ening. The governor would give no in
timation as to what he intended to do
before he left saying that he did not
know that an appointment was neces-
sary- at this time.
The matter was left to the attorney
general and he has informed the gov
ernOr that the office is vacant and that
there is no way in which an insurance
company can be served with process
through the department. This will ne
cessitate an appointment at an early
day as there are two or three suits that
have been commenced since Superin-
tendent Anthony died and in which no
service has been made.
A P. Riddle of Minneapolis is the
candidate that has been doing the
most work for the position. Mr.. Rid
die has written personal letters to
many people asking them to do what
they can for him and they have most
of them found time to either write the
governor or to call on him in Riddles
interest The strong card that Riddle
has counted on is his high standing in
the A. o. U. w. and the support that
he can throw to the governor in his
election from that source. 1t will be
remembered that Anthony went after
some of the fraternal orders and the
them and that there was no just
ground for the attack. Anthony mod
flied his statement somewhat or ex-
planned somewhat. At the time all
this was going on there were many of
the members of the A. o. q. w. that
said they would not support Morrill,
for another term on account of the
course of Anthony in the insurance de-
partment.
It is urged that the appointment of
Riddle would placate any that are yet
of the same opinion and bring them
back into the fold. It seems quite
likely that Riddle will be the person
named. The only other person that is
seriously spoken of for the place is the
present assistant E. H. Brown. Mr.
Brown has been in the department
since Governor Anthony was appoint
ed and was the choice of Governor An
! thony as his successor. He is an old
insurance man but has scarcely
enough political backing to influence
the governor to make him superinten-
! dent.

TONGUE LOST HIS JOB.
A Gold Democrat Gets Bitter and
Loses His Job.

Marshall. Ill. Aug. 24.-Quite a sensa-
ton was created here when the last
edition of the Clark County Herald, the
Republican organ of this county, came
out in the following editorial:
When you see a free silverite, you
see a man who would not earn dollar
honestly if he could get it dishonesty,
one who would let his wife take in
washing for a living while he held
down dry goods boxes, one who never
owned pair of pants without a Cleve-
land badge on the seat, one who will
steal before he will provide for his own
household, one who thinks he can ride
to glory in political band wagon, one
who sees a fat job in the future if the
thing wins, one who shuts his eyes
while somebody slips from so cents to
As cents into his hand for his vote, one
who has no more stamina, no more
principle, no more Self-respect than to
be bribed to commit any crime. This
may be a little harsh, but it is true to
the letter"
At once the Democratic campaign
committee had thousands of copies
printed and circulated everywhere. Such
a panic as never before seized the Re
publicans. A hasty council was at once
called, and a circular was issued to the
voters denouncing the editorial But
the work was done
C. c. Harner, the writer of the article
was bounced and the editorial depart
ment turned over to the former editor
Harner previously edited a Democratic
newspaper and was one of the converts
to the gold standard.

CONDITION OF THE X. OF P.
Supreme Chancellor Richie Makes
His Report at Cleveland

CleveInd, O., Aug. 24.-The following
is the report of Supreme Chancellor
Walter B. Richie of the knights of
Pythias made today:
L feel that in the light of business
stagnation which has been general
throughout the world, the showing
made by our order is most remarkable.
The number of members initiated is
proof conclusive that the subordinate
lodges of the country are active and
earnest. We have lost some member
ship by reason of legislation on the
German question, but it is a pleasure
to say that the loss thus accrued has
not been from the better class of Ger
mans-they have been loyal and true.
The Catholic question has in some
of the domains materially affected US.
We have lost some for another reason.
In a great many of the domains the
lodges have set about the wedding out
process and are permitting members
who have proved undesirab BILE to quiet
~ drop out. In addition to this, it
may be said, in many grand domains
the provisions of the old constitution as
to arrearages working suspensions was
disregarded, but the mandatory pro-
vision of the supreme statute has re-
suited in the lodges complying there
with, and has very materially added
to the suspensions, as there were many
members whose names had simply been
left on the books for years after being
in arrears.
THE enterprise in the erection of
Castle halls, in securing elegant work.
ing properties in the higher regard for
the mem bership, have all proven of I'M
told benefit. And I can safely say that
the order was never upon as safe a
basis as now.
THE receipts for the year ending
December 81, 1894 were $4,000, 285, and
for the year ending December 81, 1895,
81, 032, sos, making a total for the two
years of S8,O53, O9O. This shows a net
gain in the cash receipts of the subor-
dinate lodges of 500, 492.
The subordinate lodge assets Deem
Der 81, 1898 were 81 ,O68, O54 and Deem
Der 81, 1895, IS, O1O, I'll, showing and in
crease in the past two years of $942, 900.
1.-THE expenditures for relief in 1894
were s1,243,678 and in 1895, 1,250, 696,
total 81 494, 374, an increase during the
past two years of $4,000.
1.-THE number of subordinate lodges
on December 81, 1898 was 1898 and
December 81, 1895, 6,494, an increase in
the two years of 1876
1.-The number of members December
81, 1898 was 443, 615; December 81, 1894,
aga, 539. making a net gain of 2O.924.
LAS evidence that the subordinate
lodges are at work, the numbers OF
initiates during the years 1894 and 1895
was 1O3, 1872.
This would indicate what the growth
of the order would have been if it were
not for that more serious question of
suspension for nOn-payment of dues"
