NEGRO BURNED TO DEATH.
Torch Applied to HIS Place OF Refuge
Because He Did Not Surrender.

NBWMANSVIILE, Fla, Jan. 13.-Chased
by posse, Harry Jordan, n negro des-
perado, wanted for murderously assaultins
DR.. J. ". Cloud, took refuge in an unoc-
cupied house near Alachua yesterday after
noon. The negro barricaded the doors and
swore he would kill the first man who at
tempted to enter. The posse poured in
voley after volley, riddling the house with
bullets, but not injuring Jordan, who re-
turned the fire with his Winchester. Finally
the posse resolved TO set fire 10 the house.
thinking the flames would drive the negro
out, when he would be easily captured. The
torch was applied in several places and
soon the house was enveoped in flames.
The negro, however, made no effort to es-
cape. He stationed himself in the center
Of the burning building and fired his Win
chester in a vain effort TO Kill some OF his
pursuers. The desperado's rifle continued
to crack until the roof fell in and he was
burned by blazing debris. Jordan was known
as bad negro. having killed, IL Is said
three men. He frequently boasted that no
white man would ever capture him alive.

JERSEY CITY DEFRAUDED.
OGcials Charged with Misconduct
and Neglect of Duties.

JERSEY CITY, N. j.. Jan. 1S--The trial
of the ex-City Hall commissioners, John
Pierson and James Burke, and the present
City Hall commissioner, Emil Datz, on an
indictment charging them with misconduct
In office. was begun to-day in the Hudson
County Court Of Sessions. Judges Hud-
speth, Hoffman and Kenny were on the
bench. After, the jury had been obtained,
Assistant Prosecutor Noonan opened the
case for the State. The prosecutor said that
the commissioners had neglected to perform
their duties and had failed to see that
the contractors employed on the construc-
tion OF the City Hall had lived up to their
contracts. He said they paid for inferior
material at the rate at which the contracts
were let and there was an alleged defraud-
ing of the city out of $4,000 by paying
for these contracts.
The first witness called was Clerk George
Treasurer Samuel Dickinson. Both testified
that $4,000 had been paid out TO the con-
tractors who had done work on the City
Hall. These men were John Herman car
penter; Richard English, mason; William
w. Farrier, plumber, and Michael Con-
nelly, who drove the piles in the ground for
the foundation. The defense of the COM
missioners will be that they reserved
enough of the money to protect the city
from any loss, and that they now have
sufficient money to make up the difference
between the contract and what should have
been allowed.

SHORT 100000.
Capt. John Allen Is Said to Have
Speculatcd with Trust Funds.

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 13-A special to the
Traveller from Salem. Mass, says: 1t has

bate Court here, that Capt. John Allen, of
Manchester, the trustee Of the estate OF the
late Harry Roberts, OF that town. is short

at 100000, was left to Captain Allen in

men vii be required to make up the short

Mr.. knight was the one who first heard
the rumor of Aliens speculation. He took
the story TO Captain Allen himself. who, on
hearing IL, Mr.. Knight asserts. acknowl-
edged that he had used the money from the
estate and that he had lost over $4,000 in
all. 1t is reported that Captain Allen has
turned over property and securities to the
value of about $4,000 TO his counsel, H. r.
Moultcn, of this city. Much sympathy with
the bondsmen is fe,t, as II is feared both
men will lose the accumulations of a life
time In making good Captain Aliens short
age.
