in error in the statement that Governor

The scarcity of coal growing from the
strike in the anthracite region is direct
ing attention anew to the possibility OF
producing heat without the use of coal or
wood. One method of securing intense
heat is to separate water into its constitu-
ent gases, hydrogen and oxygen. the re-
uniting of which causes the generation Of
intense heat. The wel-known theatrical
lime light is an illustration of what can
be accomplished along the line indicated.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY

The property is located in the cele-
brated Lardeau mining division of West
Kootenay, British Columbia. The prop
erty owned by this company consists of
three full claims, embracing an extent of
$50 acres-rneral claims in British Co.
lumbia are I,5ooxI,5oo feet-equal to 81
acres each in extent. Three strong, par
alcl ore veins run through this prop
erty from end to end, distance Of $500
feet. If placed end to end this would
give us 1880 feet, equal to a continuous
ore body over two and half miles in
length. The values are in gold, silver,
copper and lead, and run from $4,000 to
$3.50 per ton OF 1000 pounds. These
results show indications of permanent
values Of the most convincing kind.

A watch party was given at the

the evening William Cobb became IN
volved in a dispute. Cobb later left
the house. After his departure The
quarrel was taken up BY Fletcher
Bennett and Dunbar drew his pistol.
Griffin, the host, interfered, taking
Dunbar's pistol from him. Fletcher
Bennett suddenly seized the weapon
and shot George Dunbar, killing him
instantly. The latter's son, Harry,
came to the defense, but vas also
killed by Bennett. Arthur Dunbar,
another son, also joined in the fight
and shot Bennett. The shooting be-
came general and Bennett received a
second shot which killed him, and
Arthur Dunbar received a wound
which may prove fatal. Mrs. Dunbar
was also shot but it is believed she
will ecover. Arthur Dunbar was
brought to the hospital in Augusta,
where the physicians pronounced his
wounds fatal. The Dunbars are
counsins of William Dunbar, former

RISE HURRlEDLY.
All Escape to the Street ScantiIy Clad
After Cropping Their Way
Through Smoke.

New York, Jan. 2.-Fire was dis
covered early this morning in the
engine room of Keith's Union Square
theatre. Flames were first seen by
the engineer of the Morton house,
which adjoins the theatre, and he gave
the alarm, there were 300 guests in
the hotel who were hufriedly notified
and made their escape to the street
clad in their night garments.
The halls and corridors of the hotel
were filled with smoke and the guests
from the upper floors were compelled
to grope their way to the street. So
for as known they all got out in safe
ty. Keith's theatre is a six story
building and the Morton house is five
stories and both are practically in
the same building. .'#
At 1928 a. m. flames were rapidly
spreading through the entire theatre
but had not eaten their way into the
hoted. They spread to the eastward
destroying quickly two small stores
and the prospects were that the fire
would spread still further in that d.
rection.

recognized as a close friend, There
was no hurrying along of the callers
and often there was considerable de-
lay while pleasantries were exchang-
ed.
After the members of the diplomatic
corps came Chief Justice Fuller and
the associate justices of the supreme
court of the United States, and fol-
lowing them the judges of all the
other federal courts in Washington,
representing as a whole the judicial
branch of the government. Next came
the legislative branch, senators and
representatives in congress, Speaker
Henderson was among these.
There was another flash of gold
lace and clank of sabers and spurs
when at 11:40 a. m. the highest rank
ing officers of the army and navy were
received. Side by side at the head
of the army contingent, strobe the
stalwart, well-known fighters, Lieu
tenant General Nelson A.. Miles com
manding the army, and Major General
Henry G. Corbin, adjutant general.
General Miles was in the full uniform
of his high rank, with heavily gold
embroidered cap and wide gold scarf
across his breast from shoulder to hip.
Following him anne the many officers
of his staff and the heads of the army
staff stationed in Washington. In view
of recent events, expectation was on
tip toe as General Miles appeared be-
fore the president, but the curious
were not rewarded with anything I'M
usual. The president greeted Gen
eral Miles with the same hearty cord
iality as had been shown the others
and General Miles returned the salu-
tation in the same spirit and then
passed, smiling along the line, ex-
changing well wishes with the ladies'.
Admiral Dewey was another of the
distinguished callers to engage the
attention of the crowds. He was at
the head of the long line of naval Of
ficers, all in full uniform and includ-
ing the ranking rear admirals, heads
of naval staff in the departments. The
admiral wore the superb sword voted
to him by congress for the victory of
Manila, and on his breast was the
congressional medal commemorating
that event. He, too, was most cordial
ly received by the president.
At 1890 the reception to the public
began and great crowds accepted this
first opportunity to grasp the hands
of the president. At that hour the
crowd at the outward gate stretched
away in all directions for several
blocks.
Following the reception at the white
house the principal social events Of
the day here were the receptions of
the cabinet officers.

The injured were all taken to Pers-
dale for treatment as quickly as the
train could get them there. The train
which was ditched was the through
passenger which left here at $40
this morning, bound for New York.
1t was a full vestibuled train COM
posed Of engine, baggage car, postal
car, two coaches, sleeper and Pullman
chair car. In going down the steep
grade one and one-half miles west of
Glencoe the engine, from a cause as
yet unknown, jumped the track and
the train piled on top of it. Probably
the only thing to prevent the swelling
of the death list was the fact that
the heavy vestibule cars did not break
up in going down the embankment.
The work of rescuing the injured
had to be done quickly because the
ga tanks in the cars were exploded
and set fire to the wreckage. The
flames spread rapidly and in a short
time the entire train was burned.
