The Roberts Committee Meets.

Washington, December THE spe-
cial committee of the house appointed
to investigate the charges against Mr..
Roberts, the Mormon representative
from Utah, held its first meeting to-
day behind closed doors. The meet
ing was called for the purpose of de-
termining the method of procedure in
the case. 1t was held in the room Of
the committee on elections No. 1, and
was presided over by the chairman,
Mr.. Tayler, of Ohio. All the other
members Of the committee were pres
emit.
Little progress was made at the
meeting today and an adjournment was
taken until tomorrow at 1O O'Clock. 1T
has not yet been formally decided
whether Mr.. Roberts is to be allowed
counsel or whether the hearings will
be open or private. The determination
of the latter question, it is believed,
will depend upon Mr.. Roberts wishes.
Mr.. Roberts, also, will doubtless be al
lowed counsel.
The question of whether the commit
tee will go to Utah to take testimony
was also raised, but it, too, was not
decided at the meeting today. Almost
all the time was occupied in a general
exchange of ideas as to methods of pro-
cedure.

FIRE IN A
Six Women and Girls Panic
Stricken-One Death and Many In
iurfes.

Reading, Pa, December 7.-One Of
the most appalling fires that has ever
visited this city occurred today, when
the extensive hosiery mill of the Node
and Horst Company took fire, destroy
ing the plant, causing the death of Miss
Louisa Clay and -~injuring about sixty
other employees Of the company. h
hosiery building vas a large structure,
ana nearly GOO persons were employed,
most OF them being women and girls.
The fire was discovered about u
o'clock, n in a few moments the girls
were panic-stricken. They made =
dash for Ms fire escape and the stairs.
but found that the latter means of es-
cape could not carry all of them down
al the same time. several hundred OF
the girls made a rush for Ii windows
and appealed to those in the street to
save them. Ladders were broughk into
use, and many girls were axe from
the burning building safely. Most Of
them, however, jumped and were seri-
ously injured.
For a few minutes from every win
dow on the second and third floors girls
leaped one after the other. Some lodg-
ed in the arms of those below. but
many struck the ground. They were
picked up and rapidly removed 10 hos
pftals or to their homes. Many OF the
girls who escaped by the stairways and
fire escapes were badly burned, put
none Of them. il is believed, was seri-
rously injured.
The fire travelled with great rapid
ity, owing 10 the inflammable stock
in the building. BY those who saw
the progress of the fire, it is considered
miraculous shat there was such a small
loss of life. There is much criticism
among the employees because of the
fact that the screens in the windows.
except those at the fire escapes. were
securely nailed to the window stills. The
girls had TO break the window screens
before they got out to leap to the
ground.

BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT.
The Defendant Wins on a New PROPOSE
ton OF Law.

Richmond, Va, December THE
court of appeals today handed down
a decision in the celebrated case of
Sanders VS.. Coleman, a breach Of
promise suit, from the circuit court
of Lancaster county.
The decision settles most interesting
points. Mr.. r. M. Sander a very we'll
TODD resident of that county, became
engaged to Miss Gertrude Coleman and
the date of the marriage was fixed,
but on hat date a letter was receiv-
ed from Sanders, asking to be released
because his physician advised him
that he was in no condition to marry.
Miss Coleman at once instituted suit
for damages. The case was tried and
the jury awarded her $4,000 damages.
The court of appeals held that illness
came under the acts of God, and re-
versed the lower court.
