NINE HORSES BURNED
in SLAVIN'S BARN,

At 1890 o'clock last night. Patrolman
Bugbee rang in an alarm from box 226,
at the corner of Atweil's avenue and
Valley street. for fire in the barn of
Frank Slavin on Tuxedo avenue. BY the
time that the firemen arrived on the
scene. and they responded with remark
able promptness.' the building was mass
of flames.
1t was soon discovered that the burn
ing building was the one in which Mr..
Slavin kept his trotters and most valus-
BILE draft horses. and at once every effort
was made To rescue the now frenzied
animals. Nothing could be done for
them. however and nine horses perished,
most of them by suffocation.
Among these horses were two fast
ones, Daisy Morrill,. with n record OF 2.2sh,
made two weeks ago at Putnam, Conn,
and valued at $500: a five-year-old bay
mare, by Green Boy, out OF The Maid,
which had not been driven for mark.
but had done better than 2:30, and was
worth 500. and seven draft horses, worth
at least 5000 each.
Mr.. Slavin, who lives very near his sta
bles. was on hand i'm a very few minutes,
and while he expressed very keen regret
that the two valuable trotters were killed.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-08-21

he rajoiced because the idol of his heart
Lantana, with a record OF 2:06, and his
other pet, Opulence, was not in the barn.
Lantana was out at LIMERICK for sea-
son OF six weeks OF rest, and Opulence,
had been doing track work In Massachu-
setts, and although due to return yester-
day, fortunately had not arrived home.
In spite of the work of the firemen, Ii
required over an hours work TO drown
out the fire, the origin of which has not
yet been discovered. Transfers and sta
blemen are usually on the premises until
o'clock. or perhaps half an hour later.
When they left last evening there was
no sign of any fire there.
In addition TO the horses there were
25 double harnesses. worth on an average
of SIS each, and several wogons and
sleighs, worth altogether about $500, de-
stroyed. "A small quantity OF hay and
small articles. which together were worth
few hunderd dollars, served TO swell
the value of the contents TO about $500
On the horses and paraphernalia I'm the
barn there was no insurance, but the
building was insured.
At 1850 o'clock last night, an alarm was
rung In from box 81. for a fire I'm the bo-
logna and sausage factory of G.. Leopold
a CO.. at 45 Peck street. The blaze. which
caught i'm some mysterious way over a
large ice box, was quickly extinguished.

Few York. Aug. 2i.-Judge Wallace
of the United States Circuit Court yes
terday afternoon denied the request OF
United States Attorney Burnett for re-
vocation of his recent order in the Neely
case by which Nicely was remanded to the
custody OF the United States marshal
pending an appear 10 the United States
Supreme court from the denial of a writ
of habeas corpus.
Judge Wallace said that he would
await further developments I'm the eA-
tradition proceedings.
Judge Wallace also said that IL IL SEEM
ed necessary of expedient he would per-
nit Neelys counsel to make further
application for "a writ of habeas corpus,
aud take such action thereon as was
deemed proper. Judge Wallace conclud-
ed:
There arc reasons which would seem
TO make IL desirable that there be an
other application I'm habeas corpus. The
petition upon which the writ was de-
MED alleged that Nicely was at the
time restrained or his liberty and in
the custody of the marshal under the
warrants in extradition proceedings.
''As 1 have said, l have no reason to
doubt that this statement was justified
Upon the appeal of the Supreme court the
averment would have To be taken as true
as there is nothing in the petition or the
papers which make up the record to con-
tradict or qualify IL.
'rhe United States attorney insists that
il is not true, and he has produced the
return OF the marshal and the opinion of
Judge Lacombe, delivered when the extra
dtion proceeding was last before him, I'm
support of his contention that Nicely was
not I'm the custody of the marshal under
the warrants in extradition.
'lf Neely's counsel will prepare another
petition i'm habeas corpus. which. besides
reciting the averments of the former pc
tition. should set up the marshais return
and the observations OF Judge Lacombe.
the whole controversy I'm all its aspects
as IL really exists would then be in the
record before the Supreme court upon APP
peal from an order denying the appli-
cation for the writ based on such petit
tion.
The government would then have the
benefit of every technical question which
II may desire TO raise in order to defeat

Reception and Ball rendered

Brilliant AssembIage at the Hotel Rock

Attended the Function.

One of the most notable society events
that has ever occurred at Narragansett
Pier was the reception and ball rendered
10 Gov. William Gregory at the Hotel
Rockingham, last evening.
Nearly 1000 persons attended. and the
white and gold ball room, with its myri-

from which the ball room is entered. This
was handsomely decorated. There were
flags artistically draped. and great fes-
toons of bunting.
From the main entrance 10 the large
black and white tiled fireplace there was
a lane of palms, ferns and potted plants
intertwined with green vines. and over
the fireplace was a canopy Of flowers and
foliage.

Beneath this canopy the governor, his
STAFF and the reception committee re-

camp escorted those who came TO pay
their respects TO Rhode Islands chief ex-
ecutive, from the entrance TO the rotunda
to Aujt Gen. Sackett, who presented
them to the governor.
The ball was opened at the conclusion
of the reception. which was an unquali-
fled success.
The ball room decorations were simpler
than those I'm the rotunda, consisting
mainly of the national colors tastefully
arranged with here and there pottsd
plants.
With the vari-colored electric lights.
however, the ball room resembled a ban
of Partisan marble. Add To these the
beautiful toilettes of the ladies and the
gay military and naval uniforms of the
men. and the scene was one that beggars
description.
