A CENTRAL
fire STATION
DIRECTOR WoRMsER WANTS
ONE ERECTED.
Will Ask the Recorder to Recon-
mend the Issue of $4,000 Wortl,
Of Bonds-He would Erect the
Station in the Rear of City Hall
and Would Install the Hooks,
Crystals, and Police Horses There.
Wants Police to Stay in Reserve.
A Certain Number Of Hours.

Director of Public Safety +. L. Worm
ser Will shortly submit for Recorder
Connelrs consideration u plan for the
erection of large central fire station
in the rear of the municipal building,
and of new quarters for No. Chemical
company in the central part of the city.
He will ask that the recorder recon-
mend to councils the advsablity of
issuing $4,000 worth of bonds to pay
for the construction of these buildings.
The directors idea is to have the GEN.
trail fire station erected on the large
plot of land in the rear of the munich
pal building, which is owned by the
city and which is occupied at present
by large, unsightly shed used by the
bureau of highways and sewers. and
sundry wagons and piles of materials
used by the same bureau.
He would erect on this lot building
to cost about 100000 and sufficiently
large to furnish accommodation for the
hook and ladder truck. the Crystal
steamer and hose wagon. the old Nay
Aug steamer, the patrol wagon and the
horses used by the mounted officers.
FOR THE RESERVE.
His plan is to have the upper rooms
fitted up with sleeping apartments, not
only for the large number of firemen
who would be required to handle the
apparatus mentioned above, but also
for Il certain number of patrolmen to
be kept in reserve
He points out that there is no city rs
large as Scranton in the United States
in which the members of the police
force are not required to spend Il GER
tain part of their time in reserve.
There is no reason at all. he says, why
all the members of the Scranton police
force, or at least q certain part of
them. should not be asked to spend
eight hours in reserve after being eight
hours on duty. The eight hours spent
in reserve could be devoted to sleep,
ana the men could have the other eight
hours to themselves.
The removal of the hook and ladder
company from its present quarters. on
West Lackawanna avenue, to the CEN
trail city is absolutely necessary, the
director says. and if it is not moved
into u central fire station it will have
to be moved some place else.
WHAT CITY PAYS.
The city now pays SS40 a year for the
rent OF the hook and ladder house and
81 200 a year for the rent of the CryS-
tals quarters. This. coupled with the
$500 which is spent annually for the

Guilty of Murder in the Second De- gree and Ten Years in the
 Penitentiary.
THE DEFENSE GAVE NOTICE OF APPEAL.
When the Verdict was Read, Mrs. Kennedy Sank Into a Chair. Cow cred Her Face With Her Hands, and Cried Aloud-The Jury Took Six Ballots,

Kansas City, Mo-, June 16.-The jury in the Kennedy murder case brought in a verdict of guilty of mur- der in the second degree, and fixing Mrs. Kennedy's punishment at ten years in the penitentiary.
 Judge Wofford entered the court room at 9:45, and immediately sent for the prisoner Mrs. Kennedy was brought in a few minutes later, ac- eompanied by her father, her married sister, Mrs. Leon. A moment later the jury filed into the room. When the judge asked the foreman of the jury if verdict had been reached, he handed a slip of paper to the clerk. Mrs. Kennedy heard it's contents read calmly. A moment later she sank in to a chair and covered her eyes with her arms and cried aloud.
 The jury took six ballots. The first stood ten to two for conviction. They tiub way uHCil lllC ldSI Ddl- lot. The defense gave notice of ap- peal.
 The prisoners father showed no more emotion than if the verdict had been so many words pertaining to d matter of small importance to the family.
 This case disposed of, Judge Wof- ford asked if both sides were ready for the trial of c. w. Prince, Bert and Will Prince, father and brothers, re- spectively, of Mrs. Kennedy. on the charge of conspiracy to kill Kennedy. The state was ready, but the defense asked postponement until Monday. Judge Wofford said he wished to call in another judge to sit in the case. 1T am not satisfied" he said. that Bert Prince and the old man were at the Ridge building at the time of the kill tng.''
 This seemed to interest the father more than the verdict just rendered, and the prisoner raised her head and listened intently to the talk about her relatives. When Mrs. Kennedy was led back to her cell she had entirely recovered her compOsure, and had re- stunned the cool, indifferent manner that has so puzzled the jail officials during her five months in jail.

DEVASTATED BY A TORNADO.
Beadle County, South Dakota, the Scene of . Tornado-An Entire Fam
 lily Injured.

Hudon, s. D., June 17.-Dr. FoXton returned yesterday from the scene of Saturday nights tornado in the e,.- treme southeast corner of the county, 30 miles from thls city. He reports finding sad condition of affairs in the path of the storm.
 The first house that destroyed was that of Mir. Mccormick. It was a two story structure 24 feet square. strong ly built and comfortably furnished. The family consisted of Mir. McCor- mick, wife and three children, all of whom were seriously injured.
 The storm was preceded by heavy downpour of rain and dense darkness. A balloCn-shaped cloud sudden ly formed, and in an instant McCor- hicks house, which was in the center of the farm, was picked up and car ried several rods and then twisted into kindling. The family was thrown against a barbed wire fence, and all were fearfully cut and mangled. Mrs. Mccormick and the seven-year-old son were most severely injured, the child can not live and the mother is in critical condition.
 MT. Mccormick and the other chil- dren, both girls, are seriously hurt, Mir. Mccormick collar bone is broken, and he is badly cut about the head, while the two daughters sus- tained internal injuries that may prove fatal. Physicians give little of wi, five injured at the Mccormick home.
 Beside the loss of the dwelling and all of it's contents, the stock sheds, cutbuildings and machinery on the farm were destroyed.
 A schoolhouse, half mile from the Mccormick home, was totally de- stroyed. The residence of Mir. Gardner, five miles from Mccormick s was next lifted by the storm and com pletely destroyed. Mr. Gardner was somewhat injured, and his wife was severely hurt. Their loss includes about all their household goods and much farm machinery.
 Inc thlrd house to be struck was on the Palmer farm where wopersons were severely hurt and much proper ty Was destroyed. The Gillespie home was partly destroyed, and two per- sons injured, one man having his leg broken. Other farmers suffered losses. and many cattle and horses were killed by lightning.
 The rainfall is estimated at atout 'hree inches in two hours time.

ARMING FOR TROUBLE.
Scheme of Lenven,HOrth Negroes for Securing RcvOlvers Dis
 covered.

LeavcnWorth, Eas., June 17.-Cor- sidera blc excitement has been created by the uneartbing of what appears to be a scheme of the negroes of Leavcnwor1h to arm themselves with revolvers purchased from soldiers at Fort Leavenworth. Ever since the burning of Fred. Alexander the nc- groes of Leavenworth have been in an ugly mood, and conservative men say that the race feeling stirred mp at that time may break out at any time. The police are doing every thing possible to kill this feeling, and are assisting the officers at Fort Lcavcnworth to recover the revolvcrs.
 It seems that the negroes had cir culatcd the report among the soldiers at the fort thai they would buy up all rha government rcvolvers offered, and several soldiers took the opror- tunity of disposing of the govern mcnt's 9Oois. Lieut. F. l.. Deen. ot Troop K, finally set trap for the negroes, instructinC certain privates to offer their weapons for sale. Three negroes, who bought them were ar rested and are being held.

Chicago. June 17.-John Alexander Dowic announced at his meeting in Zion tabernacle yesterday that cer- tain physicians of this city had formed plot to llidnap him, lock him in a detention hospital and beat him on the head and back till he should lose all his reasoning powers and be- come really insane.
 take place last night, and after the service he called special private meeting of the male members of Zion to take steps to help the Zion guard II, protecting him. He also made threats against the physicians that he would do to them as he thought they were trying to do to him, unless they shall let him alone and stop calling him a paranoiac.
 With all tl.is Dowie repeated contin- ua,ly his pretensions to be Eli iah re- incarnated, making way for the end O. the world, and he incidentally laid claim to immortality, until such time as his work was accomplished.
 "I have special information, !" shouted the general overseer to his followers, that a law has just been Jn2gled with special reference to me. These doctors have fixed it so that an insanity complaint does not have 70 come from a relative now, but may come from any man who says he acts in public interest.
 Do yOu know what this means? It comes from the same men who are calling me paranoiac. It means they are going to llidnap me. They will try to get me some night. They will carry me to a hospital and bind me hand and foot. Then they will beat me and torture me till they make me insane. That's what they will do, the hendS, the scoundrels!
 Il say to Zion, On guardH I want every member of Zion and every male member especially. to remain after this service and plan with me how to protect ourselves from these scoundrels and thieves. The emer- gency is great.''

JURY FOUND NO VERDICT.
The Third Trial of Dr. Samuel J. Kennedy for the Murder of Dolly Reynolds
 Resulted in Disagreement.

New York, June 16-The 12 men, who since 12:15 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon, at the conclusion of the judges charge, had considered the ev- idence in the third trial of Dr. Samuel J. Kennedy, for the murder of Dol Ny Reynolds, reported to Judge New burger at 1925 o'clock this morning that they were unable to agree on verdict. The judge at once discharged the jury from further service and re- manded the prisoner to the Tombs.
 On the first ballot taken the six who were willing to vote in advance of discnssion of the case, stood: Nor acquittal, two; for conviction of murder in the first degree, three, for second degree, one. The other six put in blanks.
 The first formal ballot resulted: For acquittal, six; for conviction. six. The next ballot stood: for acquittal, seven; for conviction, five. Thus ,he jury stood until the sixth ballot was reached, when the result was: For acquittal, eight; for conviction, four, ana 1OUr moro DallOtS feSulleQ the same way, ten in all being taken.
 When the foreman of the jury an- nounced the inability to agree, Dr. Kennedy seemed unable tocomprehcnd the situation. Then the tears came te nis eyes and his face showed the eff fort he was making to control him. self, and crush his disappointment. But the smile that had been marked through most of the trial came back quickly and grew brighter as he caught the eye of Dr. Moore, his at torney.
 Immediately after the adjournment of court the attorneys for the defense saw Judge Newburger in regard to sheir next step in behalf of Dr. Ken Eedy. The judge said that they should see District Attorney Philbin as to whether he would agree upon the course to be pursued. He said that he {the judge) would be out of town to- norrow, but that they could appear before him on Tuesday to make what ever motion they desired.
 MT Moore will ask District Attor- ney Philbin to move the quashing of ahe indictment.

The Willy Negro Leading the Officers of the Law Long
 Chase.

Shreveport, La., June 1.-The search for Prince Edwards, the mur- derer of John Gray Foster, continues. There seems to be no doubt that the negro being pursued in northeast Texas is the man wanted, but his course is so sinuous that it is extreme ly difficult to follow his trail.
 A telephone message received from Marshall, Tex, yesterday afternoon, says that the searchers are working night and day. Great difficulty is cx- perienced in extracting information from the negroes in the country through which Edwards is supposed to have passed. All is quiet at Ben- ton.
