KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS.
Organization of the Democratic MIL
Tin Tenn pOrnriIy pOstponed.

OrER AVIATION OF the Democratic Mill
lila Temporarily Postponed.
Frankfort, Ky, March 13.-General
John b. Castleman, adjutant general
under Democratic Governor Beckham,
arrived here yesterday and spent sew
eral hours in conference with the
Democratic officials. 1t is understood
that Beckham and Castleman will
make no decisive move toward reor-
ganizing the state guard till after the
court of appeals passes on the contests
now pending in that tribunal. Demo-
cratic leaders say that military COM
panies are being raised by the Demo-
Gratis in various counties, but none OF
these will be mustered into service for
some time yet, unless crisis Is reach
ed, which they do not anticipate. Cas-
tleman urges conservatism.
The legislature adjourned sine die
today. No bills had been passed up
to the assassination of Goebel and as a
result of the crisis following no meas
ures passed ever reached Republican
Governor Taylor's table. Eleven bills
have since passed and have either
been approved by Beckham or are now
pending before him.
Things looked rather warlike in
Frankfort last Saturday, when at
tempts were made to enter the state
house and arrest Republican State Sec
rotary Powers and Captain John w.
Davis, charged with being accessories
to the Goebel murder. Finally they
escaped from Frankfort in disguise,
but were arrested In Lexington, and
are now in Louisville jail, although
they have "pardons" from Republican
Governor TAYLOR.

FOURTEEN LIVES LOST

POLICE CHARGE INOENDIARIsM.

Fire Started While the Occupants OF
Crowded italian Tenement House
Were Asicep-FIames Cut on Es-
cnpe by the Only Stairway.
Newark, N. j., March 13.-Fourteen
persons lost their lives, two persons
were seriously injured and many others
slightly burned in a fire here yester-
day morning. The firemen, after the
flames had been subdued took IL
bodies from the ruins, and while they
were thus engaged another victim OF
the fire died in the City hospital. One
family was wiped out completely, and
OF another only the father lives, and
he is in the City hospital, where 1t is
believed he will die. He is Uggennio
castillo.
The dead are; Mrs. Boldi, As years
old, and 7-year-old daughter; Mrs. Ca
sillo, 25 years old, and four children,
aged ] to years; Antonio Palmisano,
35 years old, his wife and two little
daughters; Angelo Rosso, died at hos
pital from fractured skull; unidentified
child, about 4 years old.
The building in which the fire broke
out was veritable fire trap. 1t was
old, of frame construction and extend
ed two stories above the ground floor.
Until three or four years ago the struc-
ture had been used as church, but 1t
wa converted into tenement. The
lower floor. fronting on so, SO and 81
Fourteenth avenue. was occupied by
three stores, and the upper portion OF
the building was divided into 20 liv-
ing rooms. AS nearly as can be learn
ed the structure was occupied by ten
families, all Italians. Two Of the oc-
cupants, Vito CredanZa and one other
family. kept boarders. and though the
total population OF the rookery could
not be definitely ascertained during the
excitement attending the fire. there are
said to have been 40 or so persons Of
both sexes and all ages in the building
when the fire started.
The police are confident that the fire
was of incenGiary origin and they.
have arrested Vito Credanza on sus-
picion There was a disorderly card
game in one OF the rooms that lasted
well into the morning. CredanZa was
a participant, and is said to have made
violent threats against the players.
few minutes before o'clock every
one in the building was awakened by
the flames. They found the fire burn
ing at the foot of the stairs leading
from the first to the second stories.
The hallway and the stairs were burn
ing flercely, cutting off the only egress
from the upper floor, on which six
families lived. 1t also cut off the es
cape by the door for those who lived in
the rear part OF the first floor Those
who could do so made for the windows.
Some OF these leaped or dropped
From the burning building came agon-
izing screams and calls for help. From
the basement and ground floor the in
mates OF the building poured out
naked, or almost so. From the upper
story men and women leaped to the
sidewalk. By the time the firemen
reached the scene the building was
wrapped in flames, and those who had
not escaped we're dead or doomed. |
They must have died within a few
minutes, for the fire rushed through |

GERMANY SNUBS B0ERS.
VIII Not Attempt Mediation I'm the
War With England

War with England.
London, March 13.-Lord Roberts is
making very rapid advance, and he
is again misleading the Beers by con-
tinuing the advance southwark instead
OF through the fiat country due east
of Aasvogel Kop. He will probably
seize the railway south of Bloemfon-
tein, and although another battle is
possible, it is more likely that the
Beers are only endeavoring to delay
his advance until all the rolling stock
of the railway and the stores and
troops from the Orange river district
can be gotten away north
1t is officially announced that the
Transvaal having appealed to Ger
many for mediation or intervention in
the war, Germany has replied that she
declines to interfere, as she is in no
way concerned in the conflict. Except
in the case of Germany the replies of
the powers to the Boer appeals for in
tArvention are not yet known publicly
here, but it 81 quite certain that Aus
tria. Hungary and Italy will decline to
interfere.
According to good authority Presi-
dent Kruger and President Steyn have
not made formal proposition of peace,
but have asked the British govern
ment, through the United States, the
conditions it would accept for the
opening negotiations on the basis of
the independence of the republics The
United States government, in transmit
ting this communication, took care to
declare that it did not assume the
responsibility
The British reported casualties up
to this date are as follows: Killed,
ISIS; wounded, S.747; died of disease,
1929; missing, 3,4S3; total, 1857.

THRICE SENTENCED TO BE HANGED.
Triple MurdererDicsa Natural Death
In Zig Prisnn Cell

In His Prison Cell.
Atlanta. Ga, March Edward G..
Flanagan, the man who murdered Miss
Ruth Slack and Mrs. Martha Allen at
Poplar Springs On New Years eve,
1896, gave Dixon Allen the wound
which subsequently car5ed his death,
and attempted the life Of George w.
Allen, died in the county Jail at De-
catur yesterday. A post norton ex-
animation will be held and the brain
that has puzzled so many experts will
reveal its true condition. The case of
Flanagan is remarkable by reason of
the many trials, convictions and death
sentences which have fallen to him
and the attending train Of fatalities
which has seemingly followed those
interested in the matter. Eight have
died and two gone insane.
Judge Gambler has three times pass
ed sentence of death on Flanagan. The
case has been in all the courts Of the
state and suspension of sentence was
had in January, 1899. on account of
the prisoners weakened condition.
Flanagan made three attempts to es-
cape from the Decatur Jail. On one OF
these attempts he secured the jailers
baby and held it up in front Of him to
prevent the father from shooting him.
Six weeks ago he made the last at
tempt to gain his liberty. but was
wounded by pistol shot. At one time
the prisoner tried to commit suicide by
drinking kerosene.
The belief is general that Flanagan
has always been insane. yet many be-
lieve that he escaped the gallows by
feigning tt~+ IT. -7iod ---~1 unbalanced.

Another Democrat Unseated.

Washington, March 19.-Yesterday,
for the second time within a week, a
Democrat was unseated by the house
and a Republican seated in his place.
R. A. Wise was given the seat hitherto
occupied by S. A. Young, from the Sec
ond Virginia district. Previous to TAX
ing the vote John S. Wise, of New
York, who was formerly member Of
the house from Virginia, and who is a
brother of R. A. Wise, and his attorney
in the case, was excluded from the
hall by Speaker Henderson on the pro-
test OF the Democrats that he was
abusing the privilege of the floor, to
which he was, entitled by the rules, by
interfering with the debate upon the
case. The votes were exceedingly close.
