SEVEN HORSES BURNED
Stables of F. L. Hoagland Des-
troyed by Fire Last Night.
ONE HORSE WAS SHOT
Six Perished in the Flames-Only One Of
the Eight Could Be Taken Out
of the Building Sick
ening Sight.

1t was a horrible sight which was
witnessed last evening at the fire at
F. L. Hoagland's stables, at which
seven horses were roasted alive. Very
few people saw the sight. but those
who entered the stable did and were
sickened by the awfulness Of it.
The fire department was called out
at $3.50 o'clock last evening by an
alarm from box H. which is located at
the corner of Birch and Sixth streets.
All Of the firemen were downstairs at
the time, SO that it took them but lit
tie time to get out. When the de-
partment reached the stable, which is
situated in an alley in the rear of
Chestnut street, between Sixth and
Seventh streets, itIound the stable
in flames. Everything was done to
save the horses, which were inside,
but it was impossible to do so, as the
animals were, with the exception of
one, all smothered by the smoke be-
fore the firemen reached the place. 1t
was impossible to make them come out
of the stable, and they We're left in
there and were burned to death.
The horses were the property of F.
L. Hoagland, the city scavenger, and
they we\e valued at $500. There was
no insurance.
The fire was first discovered at $40
o'clock by Eddy Shovlin, son of Street
Commissioner Shovlin. When the
young man noticed the flames he imme-
diately went to the stable, opened the
door and got one of the horses out. He
then ran to the alarm box and turned
in an alarm. During this time man
had taken out another horse, but the
animal, which was suffering greatly,
was shot shortly afterward by Con-
stable Val Shebat. Several men worked
hard before the arrival of the firemen
to get the other six horses out, but they
did not succeed.
A large crowd was present at the
scene of the fire. There was a smell
of burning horse flesh for blocks
around. People down town were of
the opinion that the foundry depart
ment stables We're on fire and this at
tracted large crowd.
Mr.. Hoagland was seen during the
fire by a Standard reporter, to whom
he said:
Seven of my horses have been burn
ed and I haven't got cent of insur-
ance. l do not know how the fire
started. There had been no fire in the
stable to-day and there was no light
in there Yes, anybody could get in
there. as the door was never kept
locked"

Standing of the Clubs.
The Mill Situation,

New York, Sept. 13.-A special to the
Times from Fall River says: The events
of the past "a hours have served to SIM
pify the mill situation here greatly. The
owners of stock now have only to choose
between the offer of Barrow. Wade,
Guthrie & Co. and the formation of a
local syndicate for the consolidation of
the various plants. Both the Green and
the Flint-Wood offers are ineffective in
sofar as consolidation is concerned the
latter having been merged in the Barrow
offer and the former not being seriously
considered at this time. William NJ.
Wood came into the city last night and
met more than a dozen treasurers by
chance in the office of c. V. Remington.
With but very little preliminary discus
sion he launched his plans. In state
ment which he made to the reporters, Mr..
Wood said he had come to the conclusion
that should the next Flint-Wood syndi-
cate compete in the market with Barrow,
Wade, Guthrie & Co. syndicate for the
mills, the result would be the final de-
feat of the project. neither party being
able to effect a combination. He believes
this result would be against the best in
terests of the present shareholders of the
various mills. He has, in consequence,
he said. prevailed upon Mr.. Flint and his
associates to cooperate with the Barrow,
Wade, Guthrie & Co. syndicate, but in so
doing he has arranged to take good care
of the interests of Fall River. 1t has
been definitely learned that the men who
were present at yesterdays meeting were
not those who are known to be close to
the Barrow movements. For this reason
the meeting is looked upon as one antag-
onistic to that movement, but not all who
were present are in opposition to it.

the volunteers and will do so. 1 would
be pleased to hear from anyone who

cial committee"
So sad Mayor Madden last evening
when sen by Standard reporter.
Only wo up to the present time have
signifiet their intention of going to San
Franciso. Officer Gerald Sullivan and
Frank boyle of the foundry department
of the A. c. M. company have an
nouncel that they would leave Sunday
for Butte en- route to San Francisco.
YESTERDAY it was rumored that Captain
Kelly, lolce Magistrate ]. M. Kennedy
and Comfy Assessor George S. Miller
would .lso go to San Francisco,
Those who will go will have to make
the triI at their own expense, as there
has ben no money set aside by the vol
unteers reception committee to pay
those expenses. The time is very limit.
ed so hat those who wish to volunteer
to go b San Francisco would do well
to infGm Mayor Madden Immediately
so tina they can be appointed on the
committee.
The sale of the badges is increasing
daily and up to last evening 1.340 had
been disposed of. Last night Secretary
II. R. Burg informed Mayor Madden
that ie had no more badges on hand
and that the demands for the little
red ribbons had been numerous yester-
day. fresh batch of 900 badges will
be ready by this morning and it is ex-
pected that they will be disposed of
readily
I'VE cannot keep up with the de-
mand. said Secretary Fl. R. Burg last
evening. ''The lot that we had on hand
has Ren exhausted and yesterday
refusd several hundreds to members
Of the committee. The contest among
the lsdes is a very lively one and at
the rate at which the badges are now
being sold we won't have any left by
the time the boys come home
A general topic of conversation about
town these days is in regard to what
form of reception should be given the
volunteers in Anaconda. Said Frank
Doye yesterday:
IN my opinion the best plan would
be t, give the boys a good time without
goirg to too much expense. j believe
that all this talk about giving the boys
a IS or Sc plate dinner is. foolishness.
They will be home and will want to
have a good time and this should be
given them. The best plan would be to
marnh the boys to the Margaret thea
ter, where a short speech of welcome
would be made. After this the boys
should be taken to a large hail. say
the A. o. H. hall or the Turner hall,
where the ladies of the refreshment
committee would serve them good
things to eat. After this let the boys
go out to their family or go and have a
good time"

lam Gillespie who has come into the
case declaring himself to be the only
true and lawful husband of the woman,
objected to the record that the prayer
OF the complaint was granted. On his
motion the record was amended and it
was ruled that the plaintiff must intro
duce formal proof before judgment can
be rendered.
All this time the woman who Is
named as defendant, Lydia A. Maitland
Lucas, or Gillespie has not put in an
appearance and is making no resistance
to the efforts of Lucas to have the COM
mon law marriage between herself and
him declared valid.
Last evening there came up in the
district court the matter OF the SUD-
mission of proof Attorney j. NJ Simp-
son was present with his client. Charles
H. Lucas, a large, dark man, while At
torneys Duffy and Casey were on hand
with their client. Richard William Gil
lespie a slender, brown haired man who
talks with an English accent. The rival
husbands gaZed at each other with no
love in their gazes.
When Mr.. Simpson had put Lucas on
the stand and had him tell the story
of the common law marriage and its
five years existence, Mr.. Casey desired
to cross-examine. Mr. Simpson object
ed, saying Mr. Casey has no standing
in the case. Mr.. Casey persisted, how
ever, and was finally allowed to cross
examine in an effort to show that Lucas
had held the woman out to the world
as his mistress and not his wife.
Then Mr.. Casey put Mr.. Gillespie on
the stand against the protests of Mr..
Simpson, and Mr.. Gillespie told the
story of his marriage with the woman
at Lethbridge, N. w. T., five years af
ter the common law marriage between
Lucas and the woman. The woman
lived with him, the witness said, six
months and then went back to Lucas.
Attorneys Duffy and Casey then
wanted a chance to introduce the testi-
mony of Deer Lodge citizens to show
that in Deer Lodge Lucas did not hold
the woman as his wife
II don't want to hear any more tes-
timony in this matter, said the court
Exceptions were taken by Messrs Duff
fly and Casey.
The exact status of affairs in the case
is problematical. Attorney Simpson
presumably will apply to have judg
ment entered and Attorneys Duffy and
Casey, on behalf of Gillespie, will re-
sist. Then there will be a mixup. Gil
lespie seems determined that Lucas
shall not have the woman decreed to be
his wife. II is said he will, if neces-
sary, to establish his marriage to her
as the only lawful marriage she has
contracted bring suit against her for
divorce. thus getting the matter before
the court for ruling.
That will present another complica-
tion that will tangle the case up until
1t looks like ball of yarn the kitten
has played with.

London. Sept. 13--While the papers are
full of letters from individuals and sew
eral firms announcing their withdrawal
from the Paris exposition and urging the
government to do likewise, there is no
intention on the part of the British gov
ernment of taking any such steps.
Max O'Rell paul BloueD has written a
letter to the Daily Chronicle saying a
public expression of sympathy will go
against Dreyfus, adding: For God $
sake use your influence to stop it, But

Dreyfus, whom / personally believe inno-

have been acquitted. 1t is q terrible

Senator Clark's Views.

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator Clark of
Montana arrived here to-day and left
this afternoon to take part in the demon
stration WHICH Montana will give to the
returning Montana regiments. With ref
erence to the Dreyfus case, he said:
Every one deprecates a verdict based
on suspicion without a straw of tangible
evidence and the whole world is shocked
at the infamy. But attention will be
speedily diverted to other things, and the
proposed boycotting will not go beyond
the action of individuals. There will be
no government action, and certainly con-
gress will not withdraw American par
ticipation in the exposition"
