Michigan Hero nt PIttshnrr.

Robert n. Thompson, of Kalkaslta,
a salesman for the Cadillac Lumber
Co., was the means of saving at least
six lives in a hotel fire at Pittsburg.
The fire originated from an explosion
of gas. In the first moments after the
explosion Mr.. Thompson rushed into
the hallway of the second floor and
stumbled over the unconscious form of
woman whom he dragged into re-
ception room. Five others, three men
and two women, who had been turned
back from the stairway by the flames,
were shrieking and fighting for some
exit, when Thompson forced them all
into the big room and locked the door
Knowing that it meant death to go
into the hall, he fought the desperate
men back until the arrival of the fire.

STATE LEGISLATURE.

The opening sess ion of the Michigan
state legislature was absolutely unin-
teresting. In the senate after the
drawing of seats the officers selected
by the Republican caucus were elected
with but very little opposition-the
five Democrats voting for Charles A.
Ward, of Ann Arbor, for president pro
tenn. After adopting the senate rules
of 1897 the senate adjourned. In the
house, after the representatives had
secured their seats the officers chosen
by the Republican caucus were form
ally elected. Speaker Adams made n
speech. VIM. T.. Gardner protested
against the seating of Henry NJ.
Schmidt, one of the Democratic mem
bers from Saginaw. Rep. Herrig, of
Saginaw, presented the protest and it
was received and filed. Schmidt was
sworn in and the contest will come up
later.
Rep. Colby, of Wayne, in the inter
ests of the Pingree men. moved to
amend the rules so as to allow the
changing of any rule by majority in
stead of two-thirds vote. The object
is to place the Pingree men in a posi-
tion to force committees to report bills
when desired. The motion was tabled
and can be called up when most OPP
perfume.
Large crowds filed Representative
hall to hear the reading of Gov. Pin
gree's message, which occupied abolt
two and half hours. There was very
little applause, although close atten-
ton was given.

house, was appointed as his assistants:
Tyler GARNER, of Oceana county; John
Torris, of Detroit, and Chas. $. Despres,

Wreck Oh the Wabash.

One of the worst smash-ups in the
history OF the eastern divisions OF the
Wabash took place at Belleville, when
freight train No. 60 collided with an
other freight which was lying at the
station waiting for another train from
the east. The engineer reversed his
engine and jumped, escaping unin-
jurcd, while the heavy freight went
blowing its way into the rear end of
the train lying at the station. The
caboose of the first train was driven on
the top of the engine Of the rear train,
and car after car was smashed and
piled up. Fire was soon communicated
from the engine TO the caboosc, and
this together with five other cars were
completely burned, and between IL
and 10 cars were more or less demol-
ished in the smash-up. Fortunately
no one was injured.

Within the territory north of the
Ohio river and east of the Mississippi,
the railroad carriers are transporting
the larger part Of the interstate traffic
at rates less than those shown on the
published tariffs filed with the COM
merce commission, which are by stat
ute the only lawful rates. While this
condition continues there will exist
the unjust determinations and the un-
just preferences and advantages be-
tween persons, localities and particu-
lar descriptions of traffic, the preven-
ton of which is the main object of the
act of congress establishing the inter
state commerce commission. Only by
securing the uniform charging of the
published rates can the just equality
of service and of charge required by
law be secured either between persons
or between localities.

Another Railroad Wreck.

Four dead, two injured and the loss
of about SlOO,O 900 worth of property is
the result of head end collision on
the Knoxville 81 Ohio branch of the
Southern railroad. A double-header
freight train, loaded with coal and
merchandise, crashed into mixed
local passenger train while both were
running at the rate of IS miles an
hour. The engines met head on, the
force of impact being terrific. The
coming together of the two trains was
so sudden that the trainmen were un-
able to jump and save their lives. Inn
mediately after the crash the wreckage
caught fire and but for the timely as
siStance Of fire engine from Knox

Pack WIthdrayys.

With the defeat of their candidate
for speaker of the house the Pingree-
Pack people saw that their chances of
downing Burrows were very poor and
after lengthy consultations it was
deemed the best for all concerned that
Albert Pack withdraw from the race
for United States senator. Mr. Pack
wrote a letter thanking his friends for
their support and virtually announcing
his candidacy for the u. S. senate to
succeed Senator Mcmillan two years
hence.
The house of representatives was
crowded to the limit when Speaker
Adams called the joint Republican
caucus to order and appointed John j.
Carton to the chair. Senator Addison
Brown, of Kalamazoo, nominated
Julius Caesar Burrows for L. S. senator
in short but forceful speech. No
other name was presented and after
several seconding speeches had been
made, some of them by Pack men, Rep
Gustin, of Alpena, a Pack manager,
moved that the secretary be instructed
to cast the unanimous ballot of the eau
Gus for Burrows The motion was put
and carried, and amid furious applause.
Carton declared Burrows nominated.
A committee was then sent after Bur-
rows and Pack and they were soon
brought in, Burrows on the arm of
Rep. Dudley, of Newaygo, and Pack
with Capt. Stewart, of Detroit. Both
then made brief speeches. Burrows
thanking the caucus for the honor,
and Pack declaring that he was not
sore over his defeat.
