ings ANYTHING but seriously and often
smiled and nodded to his acquaptauccs
in the court room, while on tho lower
step of the stairway leading to the court
room his wife in shabby garments was sit
ting weeping bitterly. Her ycar-old

in the search for Adelbcrt Martin, who
is under indictment for a murderous as

MARTIN TWICE SEEN.
He was twice seen and recognized Sa,
urday or Milestone Hill in South North
field only a short distance from where
the assault was committed The first
time he was drinking from watering
tub by the roadside and to the farmer
who recognized him and spoke to him he
said he supposed the officers were after
him and he warned the man not to give
any Information that he had seen him.
He was again seen in barn on this hill
owned by "A woman for whom he had
worked and for whom it is said he has a
tender attachment. The hired man saw
him on the hay NOV but was too fright
ened to do any thing toward securing his
arrest.
When Deputies Fitzgerald and Gates
arrived at Mortified about one clock
this morning they were joined by Deputy
Sheriff Moseley, Officers Hutchinson and
Holden and Policeman Fitzgerald.
This posse of officers with about 80 citi-
zens searched the barn where the man

Fire at the Capitol.

There was quite a fire at the capitol
Friday. AS a result one of the base
ment windows was burned completely
out and the stone around the window
was badly Clipped and cracked off.
Strangely enough the fire was on the
outside OF the building Had it occurred
on the inside, perhaps. it would not
have caused as much damage a. it dii.
II happened in this way: The timers who
have been at work on the roof have been
tearing off the old tarred paper which
was under the tin, and throwing il to
the ground. A large pile of it had col
lected on the eastern side of the building
right next to the office of the comptroller
general. This paper is very lnfamma Bile.
and when one of the workmen yesterday
carelessly threw a lighted cigarette into
1t, 1t was ablaze in few minutes.
Before the fire could he put out it had
burned one Of the basement windows
completely out. Clipped off a lot of the
stone around the wirdovy and covered a
large section of IT with SCOT. Colonel "
T. Revill keeper of public buildings and
grounds, expects 70 place the response
bihty upon those who have been repair
ing the roof. and will endeavor to make
them pay for the damage There is no
insurance on the capitol building.
