cook and insists upon cooking.

Tho police believe they have a burglar
in the person of Walter Christy colored,
who was arrested by officers Shields and
Pierce This afternoon. They found him
in an East Front street store offering for

watch Is n handsome time piece being
solid gold and beautifully engraved. The
case.contans the letter 81 " in Roman, and
tho inside case the monogram az. T." or
"r. H." Tho chain /, what is known as
meek chain" and Is costly.
Christy also had in his possession ono

FRANCHISE
GIVEN AWAY
Carter Talks Freely About
\ THE Franchise Granted
the New Company.

+ Mr.. James D. Garter was seen by
a representative OF the REpuBLI.
CAN this morning and talked freely
OF the omnibus franchise granted
to the Universal Heat, Light and
Power Company.
Reporter-"Mr. Carter, does the
/ granting of this franchise take the
power over the streets from the
hands OF the Street and Sewer Com
: missioners?"
(; Mr.. Carter-"By granting this
charter, it puts the power OF COM
polling all other corporations ask.
ing for the privilege of putting up
wires or laying pipes in our streets
in the hands of the Universal Com
pany. 1t will compel every such
company hereafter asking a fran
chlse, to first get permission from
the Universal Company, paying it
what sum they demand for the
privilege. 1t will compel every
telegraph, telephone or electric
light plant to go under the ground,
putting their wires in the conduit
OF thrs corporation.
Reportef-"M Carter will not
the city derive some revenue from
the use of the streets by other COR
operations which NAV. in the future,
wish for a franchise!'
/ Mr.. Carter-'.lt will OF bring one
cent of revenue into the city treas
ury and for that reason was oppos-
ed by me at the meeting held on
+ Tuesday morning last. The cry
was raised at the last session of
the Legislature that it was owing
to Mr.. Addicis' friends, several OF
whom were members OF the Legis.
lature, that the Street and Sewer
Department failed to have passed
the resolution authorizing loan of
100000, as asked for by the de-
partment. Now this franchise is
granted to the UNIVERSAL Company
and the city has given away the
most valuable rightitowned. Some
revenue could possibly have been
derived from the franchise granted
IN the future. By granting TINS
franchise, the city cannot, in the
future, erect an electric light plant
OF its own"
This franchise is even more
sweeping and more valuable than
the one granted to the Wilmington
City Railway Company, over which
there has been so much comment
made by our citizens.
When the people realize what has
been granted this corporation by
the men who control our streets,
there will so up howl that win be
more than a nine days wonder.
Mr. Carter asked that the resolu-
tion be laid over until next week,
but needless of his request it was
passed, and is now in force.

which time several cases were con-
tinued Tor trial this afternoon. They
were those of the state VS.. Michael
Lynch, for selling liquor on Sun
day and to minors, and Washing

The Harris appeal case was

Lcander Ellis. the colored man
who was indicted for murdcrously

MURDERER
HANGED.
The Murderer of Mrs. Alice

Penalty.

| Philadelphia, Feb. S--George II St. Clair
colOred, who with George Weeks, on
Christmas eve, 1898 murdered Mrs. Alice
White, i'll BallinRers court, was executed
this morning in tho corridor of the convict
sido Of old MoyamcnsinA Prison. The
condemned man won't to the gallows I'm.

through which he was dropped TO death,
by Rev. William II. Phillips and Roy.
10 eph Bnrksdale, who has been selected
by him as his spiritual advisers, and who
prepared him for his end. There were few.
tr witnesses to this execution than any
hanging in recent years, with the cxcep-

but for the presence of small squad Of
policemen outside the gates tho fact that
the scvcrest penalty imposed by the law
WAS being carried GU: within the gray old
walls would hardly have been known to

The condemned man spent 4 restless

he paced his harrow cage in Murderor's

With undated interest the re-
vival at Union continues. Last
night the attendance was good and
fully up to any previous night in
point of numbers and the services
were deeply inspiring. The 'sre-
vival choir" increases both in num-
bers and each night with rich mel
ody, uplifting and sublimely grand.
Potter and Mcdaniel are certainly
splendid leaders and have with
them a host of rich voices, and not
only that but they sing with the
spirit and the understanding.
Mr.. Mcdaniel sang selection
last night by request Of Aunty King,
which was not only grand pro-
duction as 70 theme and melody,
but a gospel sermon in itself. Pas
tor Grise had been rather indls-
posed through the day, he said,
and peculiar demands were made
upon his time all day, and to climax
the whole days occurrences some
one or rather some two, came to the
parsonage and selecting the costli-
est marriage certificate he had,
were married by him, when thev
went away without even thanking
him for the job. But the Pastor 5
wife who as we all know becrme
receiver of the "matrimonial reye-
nue." sat in the choir wreathed in
smiles, which seemed to say, "none
of these things move me. " Pastor
Grise then read from the seventh
chapter of John and then said in
substance, previous to his discourse,
that notwithstanding the frictions
of the day, through all the tumult
and the strife, he heard the music
ringing. He then in a twenty min
ute discourse preached the best,
the deepest, the graudest gospel
sermon since the meetings began.
Pure and undetiled religion. he
said, was as a river of life yelling
up in the soul, sweeping away all
doubt, all dross. all uglness and
like great river OVERLOOKING its
banks and irrigating fine parched
land where ever it touched. So the
soul filled with this ever springing
tide of salvation, would irrigate the
barren souls OF the world and
growth of purity, would adorn the
children Of men. lie said great
of so-called religion was nothing
but stream of mud, dciling and
besmearing everything it touched;
away whit, hesaid, l do not want
it. | would not have it, | will not
have it. lie emphasized the invita-
ton OF Christ when he declared: If
any man come unto me he may have
this water OF life lie said the
power OF God was greater than all
the forces of evil, and "if any man"
would give his will to Gods keep
ing, repent of his sins, God would
help him and he should nave this
water Of life springing up unto life
eternal in turn. Oh.that all would
be filled with this springing foun-
tain of life. His subject Tor this
evening is ECHOES from the other
'"orld.' Services commence prompt
ly at $50 O clock. All are invited.

lower floors are occupied by the livery

loss OF about 81 ,00J, and the third and
fourth floors are used as an annex to the
Mundell factory, the cutting department
being located therein. Tho origin OF tie

Waterman employed by the firm, was in

Is recorded on his clock,
There was no steam and no fire In the
annex at tho tim0. Nevertheless some
time in the half hour that followed fire
broke out on the fourth floor and at 404
o'clock Officer Ernst turned in an alarm.
The engines were on hand within five
minue., and Lieutenant Tu,tle and Scr
geant Neyins, with forcc of officers from
the police station at Eleventh and Vino
strasts, soon arrived to render most etfi-
cont aid.
Although but few minutes had passed
between tho sounding Of tho alarm and
tho arrival Of the firsmen the flames had
made rapid progress, and demo clouds OF
smoke had rolled into the lower flo ors
where moro than forty head Of horses were
stabbed, and large number OF fine dogs
were kept by Mr.. Stauffer. Just how to
rescue these horses, which were already
In condition bordering on terror and
prevent stampede, was tho problem
with Lieutenant Tuttle
But he was equal to tho occasion. Ho
placed porion of his squad of men at
the entrance to the stable, SO us to form q
double line. Then o:hers were ordered to
enter tho stable and release tho animals,
driving them towards the door 1nto the
rolling clouds of smoke, the policemen
went, and succeeded in releasing the al
most frantic animals. AS each horse
reached the door he was turned over to an
officer or II citizen, and was taken to o
nearby street. where the entire pack was
cornlled. Later, places were found II
neighboring stables for them. The dogs
were in no way affected by the smoke or
fire
The flames were all out before 400 O..
clock. Charles Honey, fireman, was
slightly injured by part of fire escape
which fell upon him. He was taken to tho
Hahnemann Hospital, suffering with u
liberated scalp. The losses Of Mundell &
Co., and MIR. Staulfer are fully covered by
insurance.
There was no finished stock in the cut

IS OTIS
COMING HOME?
1t Is Said He Is to Be
Detached.

Washington, Feb. S,-Major-Gen-
eral Elwell S. Otis will be detach-
ed from duty as Governor-General
of the Philippines and commander
of the Department of the Pacific, it
is stated, Immediately after the ar
rival of the new Philippine Com mis-
sion and will be ordered to return
to the United States.
This action it is said, will be in
compliance with the wishes of Gen
eral Otis, who has informed the
War Department that he is in need
of a respite.
Granting Of such extensive auth
GRITTY to the new commission and its
assignment to duty under the War
Department marks important de-
partures in the policy of the admin
istration. Members Of the Schur-
man Commission complained that
they were handicapped in their
work by the necessity of subordin-
ating their action to the military.
The decision to place the Taft Com
mission under the War Department
means that the archipelago is now
considered domestic territory.
After the suppression or organiz-
ed resistance on the part of the ma
tives the archipelago will be divid',
ed into four grand military depart
ments.
Judge Taft, as chairman of the
Commission, will remain in Manila,
the supreme head of the archipel-
ago, and will be to all intents and
purposes the Governor, although
he will not have that title. Civil af-
fairs of each military department
will be administered by a commits
sioncr, who will be in everything
but name Governor of the territory
comprised in that district.
