False Report Corrected.

To the Democratic Voters of Brevard County:
Certain persons whose positions as
county officials should bar them from
taking unfair advantage of any candidate
that is to come before the voters at the
next primary, have caused report to he
circulated to the effect that | as candidate
for legislature, have failed to make appli-
cation to the state committee to have my
name printed on the ballots to be used at
the primary, thus debarring me from the
race. The following letter from Arthur
T. Williams, chairman of committee,
proves the report TO be false:
STATE DEMOCRATIC EXEC. COMMITTEES,
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, June 10th. 1902

Dear sir-I am in receipt of your notice
of candidacy and application to have your

mary election called TO be held July 10th,

Opposed to DiSpensary.
Editor of The Florida Star.

Editor of The Florida Star.
| am convinced that the "rng rule"
politicians intend to do everything they
can do at the next legislature for the pas
sage of a dispensary law. Their object,
of course, is to build up political ring
that could never be overthrOwn by the
people of Florida. Now, ! wish to place
myself OH record as being opposed to it; :;
lst, because the very best people and re.
IigiOus associations of the state are Op-
posed to it; 2nd, am opposed to the state
of Florida being placed in the undignitied
position of selling liquor; 3rd, am OPP
posed TO it because it is against Demo
cratic principle, which is opposed to
sumptuary law; and last, but not least,
am further opposed to the dispensary
plan on account of the great reign of
crime that is now in the state of South
Carolina brought about by the operation
of such system. And if the advocates
of such a law in our state should be suc-
cessful, there Is no reason why we should
not have great increase of crime and
corresponding amount Of unhappiness
among onr people. Yours truly,

han acting in behalf OF Senator Ellsworth who
presided over this mornings deliberations OF the
Senate called up Governor Odelrs bill amending
the State Charities law relating to the finances OF
the State charitable institutions. and creating the
office of fiscal supervisor. and offered an amend
ment fixing the salary OF the fiscal supervisor at
$1,000 instead of $1,000 year. provided In the
original bill. The bill was recommitted to the
Finance Committee. with instructions TO amend
and report forthwith, the bill 10 take its place in
general orders
Senator Ellsworth asked subsequently why
the salary OF the fiscal supervisor increased
and he answered:
On careful examination IT found that the
duties OF the fiscal supervisor would be both numer-
and arduous. and would REQUIRE man of more
than ordinary ability We believe that we can
secure better man for $1,000 than We could for
$1,000 and the position 10 important that only a
most capable man should be appointed.

KILLED IN MORNING FIRE.
BOY BURNED TO DEATH, WOMAN NAY
DIE FROM EXPOSURE.

A boy was burned to death and five persons
were severely injured, one of whom, woman, is
expected to die, in fire early yesterday morn
ing which destroyed the Lyon block, the princi-
pal business building of Pelham. 1t was a large
two and half story frame structure which
stood near the New-Haven railroad station, and.
with its additions contained the Pelham post
office the pharmacy of S. G. Lyman, who was
also postmaster, and the restaurant Of Mrs.
Yochin, whose thirteen-year-oId was burned
to death On the upper floor were the living
apartments Of half dozen families, all of whom
had narrow escapes. The flames, 1T is supposed,
originated in the kitchen of Mrs. Yochin A
northwest gale was blowing, and few minutes
after the start of the fire the building, which
was as dry as tinder, was completely enYeloped
in flames. All the tenants escaped in their night
clothes. Postmaster Lyman. who slept over the
drug store, was awakened at $50 o'clock by the
cracking of the flames. He says the whole
lower floor was ablaze. He gave the alarm, and
then carried his wife and baby to safety through
binding smoke which nearly suffocated him.
Mrs Yochin who is a widow. aroused by
the cries of Postmaster Lyman, In her night
clothing she crawled through the smoke filled
rooms and aroused her children. Selling the
younger ones, she ran to the second story win
dows and, leaning far out, dropped them into the
back yard. One boy. Lawrence, ran TO the win
dow and jumped. He was the only one VINO es-
capped uninjured. Her daughters, Adeline and
Gertrude, four and six years old respectively,
each received broken legs. Mrs. Yochin then
called her Oldest boy, and, supposing that he
had escaped, jumped herself In falling her
spine was fractured and one leg broken, and In
addition she was badly burned
When Mrs. Yochin found that Randolph was
still upstairs. her cries pitiful He had
helped support his mother by selling newspapers
at the Pelham station, and she beseeched the
fremen TO rush in and save him. This was i'm
possible, as the building was completely en-
yeloped in flames.
Mrs. Thomas Duane, who was Ill with pneu-
monia. carried downstairs by her husband.
The blanket in which she was wrapped caught
fire. and Duane's hands were badly burned in
putting il out Mrs. Duane is not expected to
live. Her husband. after getting her out tried
20 get his savings Of 5000 which were in a bed
tick, but he driven back by the flames. It
is supposed that the Yochin boy lost his life also
while trying to save his money. as his charreS
body was found by the fremen wrapped in a
mattress.
The injured persons were taken to the homes
of neighbors and 10 the hospitals in Mount Yer
non. Only the contents of the postoffice safe
consisting of money and stamps. were saved.
The loss is about $4,000. The Mount Vernon
and Pelham firemen arrived early, but could do
nothing to the building.
