DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Highland Park Hotel Burned, but
No Lives Lost.

AUGUSTA (Ga), Feb. 6. - Highland
Park Hotel, which for more than a
score of years has been fNed every
winter with Northern people, and
which has made Aiken, s. c.. one Of
the best-known resorts in the South,
was burned to the ground this morn
ing. The house was full of guests, it
being the very midst of it's season. The
fire broke out about $50 this morning
in little building in the rear of the
hotel, where the engine, dynamo, laun-
dry and dressing room for the walters
was situated. This one-story build
ing was joined to the main hotel, a
big three-story frame building of 1S5
rooms, by a small, narrow wooden
structure, which the guests say might
have been chopped away with axes and
entirely cut off from the hotel, if there
had been any intelligent direction of
the efforts that were made to save the
hotel.
H. w Priest, lessee and manager or
the hotel, who is one of the biggest
losers, says he has no idea how the
fire originated.
The streams that were turned on it
from the standpipe of the hotel ground
were Intellectual. The hotel had been
entirely refitted for this season, at a
cost of about $4,000 The owners are
Connecticut people, and the company
was capitalized at $4,000.
The building was insured for $1O.-
900; furniture $4,000.
During the excitement Of the fire an
alteration occurred in which Thomas
Fallon of Boston, the engineer Of the
hotel, was shot by another employe.
The wound is not serious.

the support of the keystone State has
been promised them.
There are almostaafay number of reSo-
buttons TO be acted upon, and they will
be the subject of debate. Almost
every delegate to the assembly has a
pet idea OF his own. 1t is not expected
that the fight for the granting of local
option will amount to much. Missouri,
as we'll as the majority Of the Western
and Southern States, is known to be
in favor of this movement being passed,
but the Eastern States are opposed to
it, and as they practically control the
league what they say will go.

Will Meet ON Wednesday.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 6.-Next Wednes-
day the National Assembly of the
League of American Wheelmen will be-
gin a three days session. There is
much to be accomplished at the con-

ter will be the election Of officers. There
is considerable rivalry for the position
of President between Isaac p. Potter,
the present Incumbent, and George D.
Gideon. the exChairman of the Rae
ing BOARD. ExPresident Sterling FL
liott of Massachusetts, is back of the
Gideon boom. While it Is known that
Gideon would be good man for Pres

Indians, making them shield him and

MAY BE LYNCHED.
Two Men Murdered In Missouri
and the Murderer Jailed.

PRINCETON (Mo), Feb. 6.-The
murder at Mercer of Andrew Alley
and the fatal wounding of his cousin,
Joe Alley, by Peter Kindred. has caused
much excitement and some talk of
lynching. The murderer is in Jail
heavily guarded, and it is believed the
law will be allowed to take its course.
The Alleys are prominent and both are
nephews of Captain H. j. Alley of this
city Andrew leaves widow and two
children.
The trouble, it appears, arose over
note that Kindred owed the Alley boys,
and which was long past due. Several
unsuccessful attempts had been made
to collect the note, and as last resort
suit was brought. Kindred, drunk and
with revolver strapped about him,
entered the store of the Alley boys,
saying he had come to settle the diff
Guilty. Some words were passed, and
Kindred was ordered to leave the
store, which he started to do, but
turned and fired a shot at Joe Alley
which took effect in the abdomen He
then turned toward Andrew Alley, who
had his back to him, and fired two
shots, enc striking him in the back and
the other in the neck. Andrew died
about an hour later, and Joe cannot
live. Kindred was arrested and imme-
dlately brought to Princeton.

REV. BROWN AT CHICAGO.
Not Known Yet Whether His Con-
gregation Will Retain Him.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Rev. c. o. Brown
faced his congregation at the Green
street Congregational Church to-day for
the first time since he made his con-
fession in San Francisco. The little
church was crowded. AT the morning
services, DR.. Brown made no reference
to his trip to San Francisco, but at the
evening service made lengthy state
ment, somewhat to the same effect as
that read at San Francisco.
1t was decided action on the resigna-
ton would be taken at the Trustees
meeting next Wednesday.
After the meeting of Trustees this
evening it was given out that in all
probability action to be taken on next
Wednesday will be in favor of retain
ing DR.. Brown as pastor and handing
back his letter of resignation to him.
On the other hand, however, it is said
on the best authority that the Chicago
Association will drop DR.. Browns name
from it's list, in which event the Green
street church cannot retain him unless
it withdraws from the association.

Premier Sagasta has declined the
third offer of friendly mediation on the

This cablegram from Woodford was

press the insurrection; that autonomy
was a failure, or that she needed the
assistance Of the United States in
bringing the Cuban struggle to an end.
