During the recent session OF
Judge Powell'S circuit court several
civil cases were tried with a jury
composed of only eleven men.
This was caused by tue counsel en-.
gagged in the cases obiecting to
certain person who composed the
original panel, it not being the
same person in each instance how
ever. a jury of eleven men is
rather unusual, but the law provides
that such number can try a case
il the consul on both sides agree to
it, but the court records must show
that twelve men were engaged on
the case. In other words the court
deliberately falsifies its own records
in stating on the minutes that
twelve mem composed the jury
when in reality there are only
eleven.-Clarion-L Ledger.

E THE MEN WELL,

A paper on the selection and Treat
ment of Men in the Engine and Train
Service which was read before the
Northwestern Railway association We'd
nesday night. provoked a very interest
ing discussion.
The author of the paper was f.. L.
Slayton, trainmaster Of the Chicago
Great Western. Mr.. Slayton advocated
engaging only good and competent engi-
neers and firemen, conductors and brake
men, and then encouraging them to give
good service by considerate treatment.
He said it was a mistake to dismiss men
for trivial offenses, as men who had COM
mitted a mistake were not likely to re-
peat the error. They were often the best
men who had made blunders, for they
were more careful than ever, especially
if they were not dismissed from a COM
pany's service. He believed in giving the
men a chance to show their best quail
ties, and he thought it a good plan to es-
tablish clubs where they could spend
their leisure hours. 1t remove them
from temptations and allowed them to
exchange notes and ideas on the subjects
connected with their work., which result
ed in broadening their usefulness ana
making them more valuable to their en-
plOyerS.

to Rescue Them.
THE PEOPLE ON THE ROOF

New York, March 1.-The whole of the
Windso hotel is in flames. 1t is at Forty
fifth street and Fifth avenue. The fire
is spreading with great rapidity and the
building, which takes in the block facing
Fifth avenue, looks like a roaring fur
mace. One woman jumped from the fifth
story to the pavement on the Fifth ave-
nue. side.
People are on the root crying for help.
The firemen are doing their best to reach
the people on the roof and in the win
dows. Firemen are climbing up adjoin-
ing buildings and throwing ropes. There
are no long ladders yet on the scene.
The police department has telegraphed
to Bellevue hospital for all the available
ambulances and all the doctors that can
at once go to the scene. The ambulances
and seven doctors have gone to the spot
at once. Two emergency ambulances
and several other doctors nave been sent
for.
The Windsor hotel fire started in the
second floor and then spread rapidly.
The progress of the fire in the large
rooms of the comparatively old building
was swift and the draughts in its wide
corridors and stairways fastened the
burning.
Fifth avenue was crowded with St. Pat
rick's day paraders. They surged around
the hotel and it was almost impossible to
ascertain the number of casualties. The
firemen were hampered in their work
Chief of Police Devery issued a call for all
the reserves and soon hundreds of police
men We're hurrying towards the blazing
hotel.
At 4 O'Clock the hotel collapsed. The
whole frame fell inward with a crash.
The wounded are being carried away in
ambulances. They are being cared for in
hospitals. A number of priests are pres
ent rendering their offices.
At 4:1O there had been found four per-
sons dead and twelve injured. Some of
the injured were taken to Bellevue. Many
jumped from the windows on the 47th
street side.
Two guests were seen to stand at the
windows and before they could be saved
they fell back into the flames and perish
ed. Two guests jumped from a fifth
story window into a life net and We're
saved. A woman jumped on 46th street.
She vas picked up unconscious Warren
Leland is the proprietor Of the hotel. The
fire was discovered in the hotel at $40
p. m.
APPS p. 1.-THE Gourd mansion, now oc-
cupied by Helen Gould, caught fire. The
loss by fire is estimated roughly at 81 ,000.-
600. The tiremen and police are unable
to estimate the loss of life, except to say
that a large humble of persons were un-
dOubtedly burned in the ruins. The hotel
was crowded with women when the fire
broke ont.

nv the Cincinnati Southern railway for

full operation of the modern railroad. 1t

superintendent of the Cincinnati South
ern railway.
Mr.. Murphy has equipped the exam
ming room at Lexington with an cleo
trio steropticon and a large number
of lantern slides showing the signals,
track and apparatus of all kinds used on
the road. BY projecting these views on
larger canvas,the trainmen are enabled
to see the road equipment as it would ap-
pear to them in the daily routine of work.

aiming the men on the Cincinnati South
ern that it is likely to be adopted by
every railway in the country.

ENGINES FOR o LINE.


Judge Cornish, upon his return from
Wyoming, at once entered into the
work of considering the various depart
ment acquisitions, and was closeted al
most the entire day yesterday with Mr..
Bancroft. When seen last evening,
President Cornish said that practically
nothing of a definite nature had as yet
been decided upon, but that, during the
week, every suggestion for improve
ment of the road, both in the way of roll
ing stock and construction work, would
come up for consideration and be acted
upon He will go owe the plans for the
st. Anthony line, and will report on the
probability of it's construction at an early
date, says the Salt Lake Herald.
One thing seems certain-the Short
Line will purchase a number Of COM
pound engines for use on the line north
of Pocatello. The result of the tests made
by the officials recently proved very sat
isfactory, and further experiments have
been ordered. 1t is considered one of the
most economical, and, at the same time,
needed improvements the has to
