THE ACADEMY FIRE.
The Total Loss Will Exceed s5000-In
surance, $2650.

Further particulars of the fire or
Cony street, yesterday morning, have
been obtained. 1t has been ascertained
that the total loss is greater than was
at first supposed. The loss on the
building is placed at $1,000. Savage
Brothers lose $500; J. /. Plummer
$500: Kicker & Glazier 500; and De-
lano & Shaw small amount. The to-
tai loss will be about $4,000, or a little
more.
The insurance is as follows: Savage
Brothers, on machinery and stock,
$500; J. l. Plummer, 5000; DelanO &
Shaw, $3.50. There was no insurance
on Kicker & Glaciers stock and none
on the building
1t is stated that the fire started in
the paint shop on the second floor, but
from what source it started it is i'm
possible to state. 1t may have been
caused by spontaneous combustion of
oiled rags used by painters in their
work
The reason why it appeared as if the
alarm was not properly given is be-
cause when the first alarm was rung in
the whistle did not blow; only the bells
rang. Ten minutes afterwards the full
alarm was pulled and the people were
then aroused.
The fact that the firemen We're able
to cOnfine the fire to the building where
it broke out, speaks volumes for them.

FOR ASSAULT.
Frank Thoms Fined SIS for Assault on
Harlan Winter, an Actor.

Frank ThOmS was in the local police
court shortly before o'clock, yester-
day afternoon, to answer for his con-
duct of few minutes before. Harland
Winter, an actor with the Aubrey
Stock Co, which is playing in the city,
this week, was the principal witness
against him and complained that he
had been assaulted by the accused.
According to the testimony intro
duced the trouble began, Tuesday.
Winter was standing upon the street
putting on his gloves when ThOms and
John Hyde made remarks in regard to
his wearing apparel which We're not at
all relished by the actor. He. however,
paid no attention and walked along.
Tuesday evening, a young lady friend
came up from Hallowell to witness the
performance at the Opera house and
later Winter accompanied her to the
Pullman. which she took for home.
While Winter was with the lady Thoms
and Hyde continued their impertinence
and according to the story of Winter,
made insulting remarks in regard to
the lady.
Yesterday afternoon, Winter was on
his way from the Cony house. where he
is stopping, to the City hotel to see a
friend and while passing through a
company gathered on Upper Water
street, among which was Thoms and
Hyde. the trouble ensued. Just how it
occurred is not quite clear. as the SYM
pathZers with the parties differ in
their stories. 1t was clear to the court,
however, that ThOms struck Winter
twice. the first time in the back and
the second time in the face.
Special Officer c. w. Kicker took
Thoms in hand and later he was
brought into court. Judge Andrews
fined him s. and costs and RENTED the
costs. Not having the money with
which to pay he was released on con-
dition that the amount of the fine
should be forthcoming. today.
Thoms has been before the court be-
fore and released on his good behavior
The judge was not at all sparing in his
announcement of his conduct, and said
that he would not tolerate rowdyism on
the streets of the city and that he
should see that strangers coming into
the city were treated as gentlemen.

I. Waller, of the Marine Corps at
yesterdays session OF the court mar.
tial by which he is being tried on the
Vt etaoi shrdl etaoi etaoi etaoi etaeta
charge of executing natives Of Samar
without trial, testified in rebuttal Of
the evidence given by General Jacob
H. Smith, who commanded the Ameri.
can troops in the Island of Samar. The
major said that General Smith in.
structed him to kill and burn, said
that the more he killed and burned
the more pleased he would be. that it
was not time to take prisoners. and
that he was to make Samar a bowling
wilderness. Major Waller asked Gen
eral Smith to define the age limit for
killing, and he replied: Everything
over ten" The major repeated this
order to Captain Porter, saying: eve
do not make war in that way on old
men, women and children"
Captain David D. Porter, Captain
Hiram l. Bears and Lieutenant Frank
Halford, all of the Marine Corps, testi-
fed cOrrobatively.
The defense requested that a sub
poena be served on the adjutant gen.
eral, demanding the production of the
records of the massacre at BaIangiga
OF the detachment of the Ninth In,
tantry, in order to refute the state
ment of General Smith to the effect
that the attack on the troops was
made according to the laws of war.
The request was granted.

Philadelphia, April 9.-The Wister

keT. The babies which, had they
lived, would undoubtedly have be.
come famous, were born on Sunday
morning about o'clock, Dr. Hugh P.
McAnihf. the father, an aunt and a
trained nurse being in attendance.
DR.. McAniff, in brief report of the
case, stated that the twins were finely
developed male infants, with a united
weight of about 16 pounds, and were
Joined by a broad ligament connect

that there was one umbilical cord and
one placenta for the two.
With the mother, DR.. McAniff stat

MURDERER LANE FOUND GUILTY
Slayer Of Miss Jarden and Daughters
Sentenced to Hanu,

slayer OF Miss Jarden and DaudhterR
Sentenced to Hang.
Philadelphia, April 5.-Exactly nine
hours after his third victim had died,
William H. Lane, the self-confessed
murderer of Mrs. Jarden and her two
daughters, was convicted of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to death
by hanging. After hearing all the evil
dence in the case and a full confession
made by Lane before the court, Judge
Biddle, at 2.30 o'clock yesterday after
noon fixed the grade of crime at MUIR
der in the first degree. Sentence was
Immediately pronounced. The cOnvic-
ton Of Lane, whose death sentence was
pronounced but little more than three
days after his crime was committed, is
one of the quickest instances of the
kind on record.
Eloise, the 7-year-old daughter of
Ella Jarden, who was also known as
Mrs. Furbush and Mrs. Fisher, passed
quietly away yesterday morning at the
Hahnemann Hospital, where for nearly
three days she had been making a
brave struggle for life. The physicians
at the hospital say that the fatal bullet
entered the child's body below the last
rib and penetrated the abdomen, lodg-
ing in the back wall.
Public opinion, already bitter against
the cOlored man, is aroused anew by
the death Of his third victim, and his
trial was as brief as the law would al
low. Although custom usually allows
a murderer four months to live after
his sentence is pronounced, he is le-
gally entitled to but q days.
