TERRIBLE FACTORY FIRE.
Ehree Men Dead, Three Missing and
Eight I'm the HOSPITAL.

6hECo wen Dt1u, EhEee Missing and
Eight I'm the Hospital.
Brooklyn, June 13.-Three men were
killed, eight so badly burned or maim-
ed that they are in the hospital and
three other men are missing as the re-
suit OF fire in the cooperage estab-
llshment of Paul Weidmann, at North
Hleventh street and Wythe avenue.
Williamsburg, last night. The prop
erty loss is variously estimated at
from $4,000 to $3.50, 900. The dead are:
August Benedict, 50 years old; John
M. Lockwood, sc years old; unknown
man.
TIE fire was first discovered about
O'Clock on the ground floor Of the
big building, which occupies a city
block, and by the time the firemen ar
rived the entire building was a mass
OF flames and doomed. The attention
or the fire department was turned to
rescuing the people who were hang
Ing from the upper windows or who
were lying on the sidewalks helpless.
The building was four stories high.
and there were over a hundred en-
ployes in the place at the time. Many
or these leaped from the windows aud
made their escape.
August Benedict, cooper, was hang
Ing out of one of the windows with all
or his clothing afire. He was so badly
burned when taken down that he died
half an hour afterwards.
John M. Lockwood had his chest
crushed by falling timber and died in
the hospital about IL o'clock last night.
Inc body OF the unknown man was so
badly charred that identification was
impossible.

CHAIRMAN Nj. A. HANNA,

dicks, the leader of the Union Repub-
Iicans," opened headquarters in an of
ice building near national headquar-
tiers. He said he was satisfied that his
delegation would be seated. Henry b.
Thompson, who stands in the fore
front OF the Regular Republicans"
was unperturbed by Mr.. Addicks' as

exactly similar,
The old question of representation
In Republican national conventions,
which agitated the national committee
at It's meeting in Washington last De-
eember, is more than likely to come
TO the front again. The resolution of
Henry G. Payne, OF Wisconsin, pre-
scented at last winters meeting, and
which was withdrawn before &c was
put to vote, will again be pressed,
but not by its author. The strongest
supporters of the Payne measure come
from New England. Col. Charles e.
Brayton, national committeeman from
Rhode Island, who is also chairman of
the Rhode Island delegation, will make
a strong effort to have the representa-
ton changed.
The Payne resolution provides for
four MISUNDERSTANDING for each state
and an additional delegate for every
10000 Republican votes or majority
fraction thereof, based on the returns
OF the last presidential election.
The Rhode Island delegation has pre-
pared substitute for the Payne reso-
luton and will present It In place OF
the Payne resolution If they find that
the sentiment in favor OF the latter Is
not strong enough to put it through
the committed 1t is claimed that the
substitute will meet all objections.
The convention hall was formally
transferred to the national committee
this afternoon, although the sergeant
alarms will not assume absolute con-
troll OF the hall until Saturday or prob
ably Monday morning.
President McKinley's picture Is be-
ginning to appear on every hand, al
though the presidential nomination Is
seldom mentioned by the throngs. The
vice presidential gossip, however, is
taking wide range. 1t is a free for
all race. and-the names of many promi-
nent men throughout the country are
mentioned as possibilities. So far
there has been no concentration of
forces here on any one man.

Reasonable Organizations.
Washington, June 13.-Before the in
dustrial commission yesterday N. f.
Thompson, secretary of the southern
Industrial convention, of Huntsville.
Ala, made somewhat sensational at
tack upon labor unions. Labor or
CARNATIONS are today" said Mr..
Thompson, ''the greatest menace to
this government that exists inside or
outside the pale OF our national do
main. Their influence for disruption
and Reorganization of society is far
more dangerous to the perpetuation of
our government in it's purity and DOW
er than would be the hostile array on
our borders of the armies Of the entire
world combined"
In support OF his statement he said
that on every hand, and for the slight
est proYocation, all classes OF organized
labor stand ready to inaugurate a
strike. with all its attendant evils, and
that In addition to this stronger ties
OF consolidation are being urged with
the view OF being able to inaugurate a
sympathetic strike that will embrace
all classes of labor, simply to redress
the grievances or right the wrongs OF
one class, however remotely located, or
however unjust may be the demands Of
that class. He maintained that cor
CARNATIONS teaching such theories
should be held reasonable In char
acter, and their leaders worse than
traitors to their country" He urged
q law making killing in self defense
or any lawful occupation "justifiable
homicide" and said that negro labor

1t is q singular fact that for more

Raas been visited upon the citizens of
virginia as punish ment for crime.
AT FIRST, it was applicable only in cases
OF felony. then the law was so changed
as to make it apply to cases OF petit
larceny.
By this method, it was sought to dis.
franchise large numbers of colored
znen Even boys were subject to it's
provisions and il convicted were not
allowed to vote on reaching manhood.
But there was large, conservative
Eoortion OF eur colored population
which was accommodating money,
Gouying property and bsttering the ir
condition socially, morally and reli-
sgiously.
1t was at this independent element
chat the shafts of ithe politicians and
che hatred of the Negro hAters were
directed.
AS result, constitutional conyen-
