OF "lie" was uttered by McLsurin. Mr..
Tillman spraug mp like fash, jumped
over the chairs between him and his
colleague, and before he could be
stopped struck him q severe blow on
the forehead, which raised large welt.
The two men then clinched, each
trying to hit the othsr. Instantly there
was rush towards the struggling men.
Mr.. Warren and several assistant
sergeant.st-arms grssped Mr.. Tillman
! and pulled him off, while Mr.. McLau'
rim was pushed into his chair.
Senators from all over the chamber
rushed to the sceue and the tension

Amid confusion the senate went into
executive session. Phe remark t.
which Senator McLaurin took excep-
ton was made by Mr.. Tillman Will

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

The constitutional convention decid-
ed vest erday by a siority OF one to
have no session today.
The BArbour-Quarles liquor license
resolution was defeated after two hours
further debate, and substitute offered
by Mr.. Quarles, leaving to the legisla-
ture the matter of enacting such laws,
was adoped. The vote was close, rs to
"a. with barely quorum present, but
the fight OF the temperance people was
lost, iD great measure, at least.
The substitute adopted is as follows
the legislature shall have the full
power of ensctlng local option or dis
penssry laws, or any other laws con.
trolling, regulating or prohibiting the
manufacture or sale of intoxioating
liquors."
In the consideration OF the bill OF

amendment bearing upon the question
of proclsiming future constitutions or
amendments to the constitution, and
this resulted 10 great confusion, In the

adopted a motion by Mr.. Hamilton to
have no session tomorrow and to APP
point another committee to arrange for

equally remiss 10 this matter New
generations have entered the arens OF

The TERRIBLE FIRE In the Park
Avenue Hotel in New York following
thai 10 the srmory Of the Seventy
fret regiment OF an early hour
this morning is one of the many
horrors which have occurred in hostsl-
ries in large cities in recent years.
especially 10 New York, and naturally
produces apprehension among large
number of people who are compelled to
travel 10 their business pursuits, as we'll
as thousands OF others who do so for
pleasure. Although what are said to
be fre.proof hotels are built, fire
escapes erected, ropes placed 10 each
room, wstchmen on every floor, fire
extiDgushers at hand and every pre-
caution taken TO insure safety to both
buildings and guests, about once year
the country is Mortified to read of
holocausts and the most heart-rending
scenes enacted ct hotel fires. The
Park Avenue Hotel was supposed to
be as safe as any modern hostelry and
thousands for years bad been laying
themselves down presuming on the
contrivsnces by which they imagined
they could escape in case Of fire,
but 1t was destined ID meet the fate OF
macy other public houses and eighteen
or more people we're to lose their lives
10 it. Il is true 10 this instance the fire
did not originate in the hotel, and this
fact makes 1t seem strange that
all did not have time to escape.
A fire in a hotel is appalling under
any circumstances. Even If the place
Is not consumed the smoke penetrstes
rooms and asphyxiates sleeping people,
as was the case at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel 10 New York many years ago.
Besides the elevator acts as chimney
IS soon as the FIRE gets under way and
the terrible draught soon seals the doom
OF the building. At the present stage
of the worlds progress there seems to
be no way in which such horrors Gao
be avoided, although the authorities
have done macy things which probably
contracts the number. The burning OF
the Park Avenue Hotel and the laying
out 10 the morgue of the charred re.
mains of some OF the guests comes at
an unfortunsts time. The German
Prince lie due 10 New York today, and
1t was hoped nothing would occur to
mar his reception, but many homes
will be 10 sorrow and bulletin boards |
surrounded by anxious ones while the |
festivities In connection with his vel
come are in progress.
