Ing to SEQ jackson and, woIllng. who
were called for hearing in the Pearl
Bryan murder case, Both waived cx-
animation and were ordered to beeom-
ulipted TO Jail without bond, on the
charge OF being fugltIves from Justice,
and the case was continued until Feb
ruary 49,
While the commitments were being
prepared the men were returned to
their cells.
Sheriff Piummer, OF Newport, will at
once apply to the governor for q re-
qGtsition for the prisoners.
William F. Wood. whose case was
also set for to-day, and who was out
on bond, did not appear when called.
and his bond was promptly forfeited.
Subsequently he came In and his case
was continued until the goth and he
was locked UP until q new bond can be
given.
The charges preferred against the
prisoners were murder and fugftiveS

garded as likely In Newport, will bring
one or the other men to the point OF
furnishing the missing link in the

Property aud Many Live, Lost.
NEW YORK. Feb. IA special to
the Herald from Panama, Colombia,
says: A great fire has ragged in Guaya-
quiz When the firemen and soldiers,
who were hurriedly ordered out to help
them finally brought 1t under control
thousands OF panic stricken persons
were wandering homeless in the
streets, many lay dead In the morgues
and property worth nearly $1,000. 900 had
been destroyed. including the noble ca
thedral and the convent which adjoined
II.
The fire spread so rapidly that in an
Incredibly short space OF time many
blocks OF houses were In blaze.
The fire brigades OF the suburbs and
all surrounding towns were summoned
by telegraph and battallions OF guards
were dispatched to aid the 'iremen.
Through their united Efforts the spread
OF the element was checked and the city
was saved from destruction. The panic
which began among the nuns in the
convent, several OF whom We're burned,
was contagious. and the city became
terror-stricken when the seriousness of
the situation was grasped.
II Is believed that at least thirty per-
sons suffered death, and IL Is known
that many were injured.

Maanetised Corsee steel..

Every day something new is found
about electricity and its Effects said
MI. Fay Of the Southern Pacific. do
you know that .nine-tenths Of the um.
brellas that men carry nowadays are
magnetized? Well. they are, and all
that is necessary to prove this is to an.
ply the point Of your knife OF, better
still, a small pen point against the steel
rib. The attraction is very perceptible,
and it is caused by the carrying Of the
article inside of the electric cars. The
umbrella is rested upon the floor near
the motors, and the proximity Of the
metal causes a certain quantity of the
fluid to find permanent lodgment in
the ribs
Carrying out the idea, it is very
likely that the corset steels of the ladies
are similarly affected. Think what
the consequence would be if a young
man with steel cuff buttons should hug
a girl with magnetized corset steels!'-
