BURNED WHILE ASLEEP
FOURTEEN PEOPLE CREMATED IN
THEIR HOMES IN ALABAMA.
Two Houses Occupied by Settlers from
Town Destroyed by Fire-Sfx in One
and Eight i'm the other.

MOBILE Ala Oct 26.-The startling
news Was received in this city to-day that
fourteen people had been burned TO death
at a place known as FAIRIES, in Baldwin
county, about thirty miles northeast of Mo-
bile The information was brought TO this
city by Captain Joseph f. Jordan, who re-
sided in the locality of the fatality. 1t ap-
pears that some time during Monday night
last fire destroyed the dwellings of Harry
Goodlow and Samuel Smithson. burning all
the occupants OF both houses. The Goodlow
family consisted of father, mother and six
children. There were six persons residing in
the Smithson home, the husband wife, three
children and a sister of Mr. Smithson.
No cause could be discovered for the fire,
and it is believed to have been OF accidental
origin. The plre trees surrounding the
houses caught fire from the flames and
added tc the destruction. They also pre-
vented any assistance from reaching the
persons in the houses. The charred bodies
We're found in the rooms where the different
members OF the family had been accustomed
TO sleep, thus giving the impression that
death had come while the people were sleep
ing. The families formed part of a colony
of emigrantS who had settled in this region.
These two families had come from Iowa:
GooGlow having been in the neighborhood
fpr some three years while Smithson mad
OILY recently reached the locality. Goodlow
Was highly esteemed by the settlers. The
bodies were inferred in the little graveyard
Of the settlement, one Of the colontsts act

clared that the British troops were not US

In the course of a reply relative to the
arrangements made for the care Of the
wounded, Mr.. Wyndham said there were
ample stocks of medicines, etc, with all
the British forces. but, possibly. If they
were forced TO care for many Beers, the
British resources would be strained, and
the government was making provision for
this contingency. On Oct. %, he added, three
Boer doctors, with assistants, arrived at
Ladysmith and the Boer wounded were
placed in the Dutch church in their charge.
Those doctors expressed gratitude and sat

MEDIATION URGED.
Holland Society Resolutions Present.
ell to President Mckinley.


WASHINGTON, Oct 2s.-The resolutions
adopted at a mass meeting held in Car
negie Hall, New York, Oct II, urging the
President to offer the friendly services of
the United States in mediation between
Great Britain and the Transvaal and
Orange Free State republics, were pre-
sented TO the President this afternoon by
a delegation from New York. headed by
Tunis G. Bergin, president of the Holland
Society. Others of the delegation were:
Alfred H. Love, of Philadelphia, president
of the Universal Peace Union; the Rev DR..
Evart Van Slyke, of Brooklyn: ]. w L.
Pruyn. of Albany; Rev. DR.. Farrar. Fred
W. Heinrichs and Samuel Rowland. OF

petition to the President, said the delega-
ton had no desire to embarrass the friend
ly relations between the United States and
Great Britain. On the contrary, Ii was be-
cause of that friendliness and good under
standing that they presented the petition
to the President in the hope that in the
wise and good discretion of the executive
way might be found TO offer the timely
offices of the government of the United
States in an endeavor 10 allay the bloody
conflict now going on in Africa. This would
be in line with the new diplomacy enun-
ciated at The Hague peace conference The
hope was expressed that honorable terms
or peace might be secured, the honor of
both parties be sustained and the names OF
two OF our sister republics be not stricken
our good offices like the English people, the
South African republics were ready for
mediation and the United States, the
friend OF both, should be the best media
tor" Mr. Heinrichs and Mr.. Van Benthuy-
sen spoke on the same lines.
The President. in responding. thanked the
gentlemen present for appearing and for
the sentiments expressed I'm behalf of peace.
Such sentiments had his sympathy. but in
case where so many diverse interests are
involved moves must be made with great
reserve lest unwittingly injury be done
some of the parties The fact, moreover.
must not be overlooked that America had
interests at stake. The President reiterated
that he was for peace and assured the DEL
egation that the petition would receive his
most earnest consideration.
