The Anarchists Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas,
The Anarchists house
Was dark, and the anarch
Was still as a mouse
A sheet-iron bOmbshell
Was fixed up with care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas
Soon would be there.
But 81. Nick was crafty,
He knew what would come.
So down the b-ick chimney
he dropped a large bomb.
He had told Mrs. santa
He thought that he must
Give this anarch the Joy
OF a great Christmas bust"
s. this capsule exploded
And blew up the place,
Bringing smiles OF good cheer
To the Anarchists face.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 15.-The Re-
publican Senatorial caucus under the
rules prevailing for a month past, was
practically abandoned at a meeting to-
night and petitions for a new caucus
circulated. The change in the pro-
gramme is largely the result of a teie-
gram received from Chairman Hanna
in answer to the one sent him last
night. Chairman Hanna's telegram is
as follows:
"WASHINGTON. D. c., March Is.
"Hon. O. G. Gallogly, Lincoln, Neb.:
Replying to your telegram signed in
behalf of forty-five members of the
Nebraska legislature, will say the sug-
gestion which the national committee
would s%trenuously urge is that all Re-
publicans attend caucus and either by
majority Or two-third rule, make a
choice of candidates, voting for one
at a time; they add to this their cram
est appeal for harmony and loyalty
to the party's interests.
(Signed) IN A. HANNA"
1t is believed by Monday night next
enough signers will have been secured
to one of the new calls to make an
other caucus possible.

THREE BURNED 70 DEATH
IN NEWSPAPER BUILDING.
FIRE, STARTLD IN THE BASEMENT
OF THE BOSTON ADVER-
User PLANT,
FOUND VICTIMS ON TOP FLOOR.
FLAMES SHOT UP ELEVATOR SHAFT
PENING IN THE PEOPLE
ABOVE.

BOSTON, March 15.-Three lives
sacrificed, nearly a dozen more or less
injured, mad many thousands of dol
lars damage were the results of a fierce
fire in the Daily Advertiser and Rec
ord seven-story granite front building
in Newspaper Row tonight. The
dead are:
James Richardson, ST., proof reader,
of Boston.
Judson Craft, proof reader, of Cam
bridge.
Walter Luscomb, proof reader, of Sa-
lem.
How the fire first started is not
known, but it was first seen in the
press room, and it spread to the eleva-
tor shaft and darted to the ton SO ran
idly that before the occupants of the
two upper floors we're aware that the
building was on fire their rooms were
filled with flames and smoke.
In the editorial room on the sixth
floor, there were but five men. All
had to run for their lives. On the up
per floor, occupied by the composing
room, were eighteen compositors and
proof readers, whose situation was
most critical. Panic-strickeu. they
rushed for the windows leading to
the fire-escapes and all but three of
them succeeded in gaining the roof
OF an adjoining building.
Long ladders were raised as ouicLlv
as the net work of electric wires over
the street would permit, but before a
ladder could be placed in position. the
men had dropped through a skylight in
the building roof and reached places
OF safety. Except in the press room
in the basement, there was practically
no fire in the building below the fifth
story. No n was in the press room
at the time the fire started except the
fireman, who had not been seen I'D to
a late hour.
1t took three hours of work to
drown out the fire. The three victims.
all proof readers, were suffocated be-
fore they had time to reach the fire
escapes. Those who found the bodies
were obliged to jump several feet to
the roof of an adjoining building and
in this way quite a number of them
sustained injuries.
As soon as it was seen that the re-
sources OF the Advertiser and Record
for issuing the editions of their papers
regularly were destroyed, offers of as
sistance were received from the pro-
prietors of all the other newspapers
in the city.
Managing Editor Underwood says
that it is impossible to estamite the
less until the actual damage to the
presses is ascertained.

CARELESS PRACTICES N
kANANHA COUNTY COURT.
MAY yITIATE ALL THE PROCEED
INGS OF THAT BODY AT THE
JANUARY TERM.
HABEAs CORPUS ASKED Fol
IN THE CASE OF GEORGE CARTER,
A NEGRO, SENTENCED TO HANG
FOR MURDER.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON W. Va, March Is
The careless manner in which the af-
fairs of the Criminal Court of Kan
awha county were conducted at the
January term has probably knocked
out a hanging scheduled for the peni-
Tertiary on the 22d of this month, and
entailed upon the taxpayers of the
county a lot of extra expense. George
Carter, a negro, was convicted of MUIR
der in the first degree at hat term of
the court and sentenced to hang at
the date mentioned. His attorneys to-
day applied for a writ of habeas cor
pus, by which they hope to have Carter
brought here before the court when
they think they can make such show
ing as will secure him a new trial, if
not an absolute release.
The petition of the writ recites that
on the fifth day of January C. ". Hall,
judge of the Criminal Court, was re-
ported i'll and not able to occupy the
bench; that the bar held an election
as provided by the statute and chose
George w. McClintic as judge; that Nc
Clintic
Held Court for u Few Days,
and then e. N. Keatley appeared upon
the bench; that Keatley held the court
for some time, during which Carter
was tried, convicted and sentenced;
that Keatley was not elected legally
in the first place, because the record
shows nothing of there having been a
vacancy after McClintics election;
that during the time when Keatley was
acting as judge he was appointed and
qualified as deputy clerk of the United
States Court, an act that would have
vacated his Office of judge, even had
he been legally chosen thereto.
These things the attorneys think are
enough to vitiate Carter's trial, and
upon these grounds they will ask that
the verdict be set aside and the pris-
oner given his liberty
The discovery of this matter has Gre
ated a genuine sensation here as far
as it has become known, and attor-
neys are caustic in criticism of, the
loose name in which the business of
the public was attended to by those
whose duty it was to look after it.
AGrent Deal of Business
was transacted at the January term,
and the Republican papers have been
fulsome in praise of the name in
which it was despatched. Now it
seems likely to be all set aside, while
the money it cost the taxpayers will be
gone for ever.
Attorney General Freer has given out
an opinion to the effect that attorneys
appointed by courts to defend INDECENT
persons charged with crime annot be
paid out of the State treasury. In a
concurring opinion in a case wherein
this point was not at issue, Judge Dent,
of the Supreme Court, held that such
claims were a charge upon the State
treasury and should be paid by the
auditor. Auditor Scherr asked for an
opinion from the Attorney General, and
will be governed by the one given un-
til it is otherwise decided by the court
some case in which the point is at
issue.

ELEyEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL AT A
DISTRICT SCHOOL.

CAPTURED IN THE WOODS BY AN
OFFICER AND DELIVERED AT
COUNTY JAIL.

HAMILTON, Ohio, March 15.-Win-
chester, a small town in Preble coun-
ty, was the scene of great excitement
to-day. A farm hand named Henry
Hobbs, employed four miles northwest
of Winchester, was locked up in the
village Jail this morning as a suspect
in the assault committed on a 11-year-
old girl at a district school five miles
west of Winchester yesterday. The
little girl, Edith Shinkle, daughter of
a farmer, was choked and threatened
by the fiend in an clubhouse adjoining
the school When the man threatened
her with a knife she screamed. This
frightened him away.
The report was not quick in spread
ing, but yesterday a posse consisting
of farmers from several miles around
was formed to search for Hobbs.
Marshal Robert Bralton, of Winches-
ter, discovered him in a nearby woods
and placed him in the village lookup
to-day. He is a white man. The eX-
element of the night before was quiet
Gu W dill extent ny the arrest, DuL To-
day Winchester was thronged with
people from the country roundabout.
For a time a l%ynching was feared.
Edith Shinkle went to Winchester
this afternoon and identified the sus-
pect. He will be given a hearing to-
morrow and then taken to Eaton, the
county seat of Preble county.
The suspect would doubtless have
been qickly dealt with had the posse
captured him, but now it is thought
that the law will take its course.

NEW YORK, March 15.-Andrew
Carnegie who, since retiring, has been
able to devote his time exclusively to
his other passion. the founding of
libraries, has made his departure for
Europe memorable for the largest Of
fer ever advanced. If New York will
provide the sites and the maintenance,
he has promised to give S., Zoo, 900 to
establish sixty-five branch libraries.
The offer was made in a letter to DIR.
John s. Billings, director of the New
York public library.
NEW YORK, March IL, 1901.
"Dr. John S. Billings, Director New
York Public Library.
Our conference upon the needs OF
Greater New York for branch libraries
to reach the masses of the people IN
every district, have convinced me OF
the wisdom OF your plans.
"~Sixty-five branches strike N at
first as a very large order, but as other
cities have found one necessary for
every sixty or seventy thousand popu-
lation the number is not excessive.
"You estimate the average cost OF
these libraries at say $4,000 each, be-
ing S., 200 900 for all. If New York VIII
furnish sites for these branches for the
special benefit of the masses OF the
people as it has done for the Central
library, and also agree in satisfactory
form to provide for their maintenance
as built, l should esteem it a rare
privilege to be permitted to furnish
the money as needed for the buildings,
say SIS, 200, 900. Sixty-fve libraries at
one stroke probably breaks the record,
but this is the day of big operations
and New York is soon to be the big
gest of cities.
