BURNT TO DEATH.
A LITTLE BOY MET A SAD FATE
LAST NIGHT.
A House Believed to Have Been Set Afire
And Little Johnnie Elsing Was
Caught in the Flames.

When Fireman Barney Elsing, Of
the Southern Pacific left his happy
home and family no Oak street to
90 out on his run he did not know, or
even suspect, what misfortune would
meet him on his return. 1t was in
deed sad one, for it meant the de-
structiOn of his home and the loss of
his seven-year-Old son, John Elsing.
After Mrs. Elsing and children had
retired last night they were awaken
ed about 1890 o'clock. The house
was afire and the flames We're making
rapid Roadway. Mrs. Elsing called
to the children to follow her, which
they did, with the exception of John
He was caught in the flames and be-
fore any held could reach him life
was extinct. He evidently suffocated
in the dense smoke. The remains
were charred by the flames.
1t was first not known that the boy
was in the house, for it was believed

Holt, son of Captain William Holt,
was the first to see the boy. He broke
II window pane with his fist and
reached his arms into the house for
the little fellow. The boy ran to-
wards the door and then towards the
window, but evidently could not see
anything on account OF the thick
smoke, from which he was finally as
phyxiated. He was found in the front
room on the floor.
The fire it is believed, was incen-
diary, and started under the house,
in the rear, where the bath room was
located. The house was a fve-room
frame cottage, sitting several feet
above the ground. It was the prop
erty of Albert w. Bitter and was val
nued Mt $500. 1t was totally de.
strOyed and was not insured. The
household goods and furniture were
also destroyed.
Mr.. Elsing was notified of the sad
occurrence by wire last night and
came in from his run this morning.
His wife and children were taken to
a neighbOring house. Mrs Elsing was
not informed last night of her little
sons fate The body was taken to
another house. John was the eldest
child. They have two one baby,
still living.

1t has leaked out that Alex Terrell, the
negro rapist, who assaulted Mrs. Jack
son on Dec. 23rd, will plead guilty to
the charge in the hopes of evading the
gallows. The trial comes off tomor-
row. Should the death penalty not be
inflicted the officers anticipate serious
trouble. Nothing else is talked of in
the streets this morning. Threats of
lynching are openly made and the gem
eral feeling is that Terrell must die.
The Daily Herald openly advocates
tar, oil and flames.
A horrible discovery has been made
Of a camp in the valley on the Bayou
near the Katy bridge, where a mother
and her 14-year-old child are engaged
in fearful cocaine orgies and are pros
tituting themselves with black and
white alike. The place is a resort of
the worst characters in town and the
neighborhood is much incensed.
Officer Dixon, colored, Of the city DO

EASTERN TROUBLE.
CRETAN CHRISTIANS HAVE HOIST
ED THE FLAG OF GREECE.
And Have Asked the Grecian Fleet Of
Warships to lombard the City in
The Name Of the King.

Athens, Feb. 9.-According to the Ia
test report from Canea the situation on
the island y: Crete Is critical to say
the least In Canea, II is said, The
Christians Lave hoisted the Greek flag
and invited the commander of the
Greek fleet to train his guns on the
city,in the name of the King of Greece.
1t is also stated that the Greek squad
ron on arriving at Canea, did not SAL
ute the Turkish flag. If these rumors
are true the whole is land is probably
in a turmoil of war and the foreign fleet
may have taken action to prevent fur
ther disorders. The proclamation is
sued by the Cretan committee in this
city yesterday calling upon all free
men for assistance was received with
great enthusiasm and many responses
have been made in the shape Of f1nan-
cial donations or offers fphysicals eer-
vices, If necessary. Cries of Long
live the Union" and Long live Crete"
are heard on the streets in all parts of
the city, nor are the demonstrations in
favor of a union with Crete confined
alone to this city. Reports from cities
and towns in all parts of the kingdom
indicate that the people are aroused
and determined to make the present
trouble of the island of Crete an coca
sion for revenging themselves on their
old enemies, the Turks by gaining con-
troll of Crete. The progressive spir-
it of the Greeks makes them DESTROYS
of throwing off the Turkish yoke.
Fighting between the fanatic Mussel-
mans and Christians has been going
on for some time and only last year
Turkey was forced by the concerted
powers to institute reforms which, how
ever, seem to have been of little bene-
fit
The last weeks daily reports of mas
sacres of Christians have been receiv-
ed and there has been a tremendous
pressure on the Grecian government to
succor the prosecuted Christians. The
representatives of some Of the powers
have expressed to the Greek govern
ment surprise at the fact that war
ships have been sent to the island OF
Crete and that open demonstrations I'm
favor of the union of Greece and Crete
are tolerated throughout the kingdom.
The report that the Christians are for
ming a provisional government on the
island is not given much credence in
this city, as the latest news from Can
ca indicates that the Christians are
fighting under the flag of Greece all
along the line.

IF, as you say, you do not favor the
abandonment of silver, then there is
no difficulty between US. i am as
much in favor OF pushing the fight on
all the planks of our platform as you
are. 1 am just as much opposed TO
the disintegration or absorption OF the
Peoples party, but when you talk

I am not with you. You go on to emu

stand where we have stood for the last
four years; my plan is to simply push
this fight on the same lines for four
years; my plan is to simply push this

you are at perfect liberty to do so but
the Populfsts of the great northwest
who stand true to silver and all our

not be bound by any action which this
