CIRCUITCOURT
VERDICT FOR THE DEFENDANT
IN DAMAGE SUIT.

The case Of Eta May Baker against
the Paducah Railway and Light Co.
and others was settled thiJ morning,
when the court instructed the Jury to
find for the defendant, which was
done. The plaintiff sued for az, 900
for personal damages sustained in an
accident when a car struck her buggy.
By agreement the case OF Gleason
against the Paducah Railway and
Light 90. was continued and set for
the seventh day OF the April term.
At press time the case OF Bertha
Shipley against the Forked Deer Pants
Co. was on trial. She sues for breach
Of contract.
In the suit Of Eta May Baker
against the street car company and q
man named Daniels, for 90, 900 dam
ages, the street car company was re-
leased as one Of the defendants. 1t
appears q wagon in which Daniels and
the girl were riding broke down on
the street car track and a car. which
was near at the time, struck it before
1t could slacken mp. The girl was
hurt and sued the owner of the wagon
and the street oar company. but the
latter has by the court been adjudged
not liable.

defendant, fled motion and reason for

HELP BADLY NEEDED.

The utter inability of Democratic
office holders in Paduosh to cope with
any public question is further attested
by the move to have q citizens com.
mittee appointed to cooperate with
the men in Office in considering street
improvements, and in which the may.
or himself is said TO concur. As the
suggestion comes from'the Democratic
side, and is acceptable to the head of
the administration himself, it is very
significant, and it is more than prob
able that the taxpayers of Paducah
will not object in the least to any kind
Of assistance that may be rendered the
injunction crowd, no matter whether
il is from . committee OF citizens. q
delegation Of hob-goblips or q tribe Of
monkeys. just so somebody helps
them out. They certainly need it.
They wasted year and about $780,
900 in Paducah without q single pub
lie Improvement, and promise equally
as bad, II not worse, this year. We
say, il they contemplate any improve
ment at all, trot on your citizens to
assist the municipal boards No one
needs it worse than they. Doubtless
they themselves are beginning to feel
that they need it. When men are
elected to office the presumption is
they are chosen to represent the people
and are fully capable of doing it. and
when it is deemed advisable or exped-
lent to appoint men on the outside to
help them, it certainly begins TO look
bad for the taxpayers.
We should suggest. however, that
IL they are not in a hurry, they wait
until after the coming November cleo
tion and we shall have a set Of men
who will not need any help from the
outside in trsnsacting public business.

SCENES WERE HORRIBLE
Further Details Of the London Fire
Yesterday.
The Insane People Panic Stricken
Has 20 Be Driven.

London, Jan. 2S-Excitement over
the terrible holocaust at the insane
asylum yesterday has about absted in
that vicinity, and complete details are
yet lacking.
About so insane patients were burned
to death. The flames spread with
great rapidity and before they could
be got under control Eve wooden build.
ings, including dormitories and the
doctors apartments. were Quilted. AL
the efforts of the officials were direct
ed to removing the insane inmates, but
the latter became wild with excite.
ment and so panic-strioken that not
only were they unable TO help them
selves but greatly impeded the opera
lions Of those trying TO save them.
There were nearly 800 women in the
burned annex by the time the fire was
discovered and most Of them were
safely transferred to the main build.
ing, which was uDinjured. Some,
however. escaped and are still at
large, rendering at difficult to ascer-
tain the exact number of those burned
to death.
All the victims were lunatics. Their
charred remains presented . horrify-
ing spectacle. The asylum was be-
sieged by anxious relatives and friends
of the patients, who arrived from all
quarters. Pitiable scenes were wit
messed as weeping men and women
left the premises after ascertaining
that relativse or friends had persisted
in the flames.
The nurses had a terrible experience
in trying to assist the insane people,
who were so panic-stricken that they
had literally TO be driven TO = place Of
safety. The infiammable premises al
most Immediately became a furnace.
Nothing was left standing. The cor
rugsted iron roofs of the dormitories
and the bedsteads of the patients were
melted by the intense heat Some of
the lunatics were burned in their beds
and the charred remains of others were
found huddled together in corners,
while groups of partially consumed
bodies on the site of the corridors
showed that many persons lost their
lives and sacrificed those of others in
their frantic efforts to force a passage
through the flames to the main build.

number of deaths at SO. All the vic.
Tins were women.

The Steelville village authorities

AT first il was not intended TO hold
q primary under the law, and efforts
by Mr.. Meaoham in the committee to
commit the committee to legal pri-
mary were fatty turned"
The Leader adds:
"This is so apparently untrue upon
its face that 1t is hardly worthy of an
answer. The editor of the News Dem
ocrst knows as well as anybody else
that the State Executive Committee
never had any other intention than
the primary, if called should be strict
ly in accordance with the provisions Of
the law. The court Of appeals in a
decision last spring held that any pri-
mary called by any political party
must be in accordance with the law.
Il was q matter of general discussion,
and every member of the state COM
mitttee was familiar with that deci-
sion and knew that any call for a pri.
mary not in accordance with the law
would be held void. There never was
any desire ON the part Of the commit
tee to call any other kind of primary
and il is ridiculous to assert that they
had any other intention in the matter.
1t is strange that newspapers claim
ing to be Democratic would resort to
any such Misrepresentation in their
fight upon the state primary"
The way things have turned out
simply shows to what hypocrisy the
democrats resort to railroad men into
and public office. No
wonder no one believes them when
they claim they are honest in their
motives representing Republicans for
the Goebel murder.

INQUEST TO BE HELD TODAY

Tom Gillard, oolored, who was
shot In the stomach Saturday night at
the Schultz saloon at Ninth and
Washington streets by Ike Stevenson,
colored, alias SNAKE" died at Q $3.50
at the city hospital this morning from
the wound. which was pronounced
fatal at the start.
Coroner Peal was at once Motif ed
and will this afternoon hold an in
quest. Stevenson, who aid the shoot
ing and was arrested near the city
hall shortly afterwards, is in jail and
warrant for murder will at once be
issued against him.
Before he died Gillard made q
statement to County Attor ney Graves
in regard to the shooting. He said he
was standing before the bar talking to
negro woman and q man or two
when SNAKE" whom he had known
in st. Louis, walked in the door and
in q half joking tone said, What you
doing with my woman"
He replied he was taking a drink
with her" and put his hand in his
pocket to get the change, he states.
Snake then reached in his pocket,
pulled out pistol and rejoined,
Come on out with it, you 81 Of
b." and about that time the weapon
went of.
Snake claims the shooting was acct.
dental. as he and Gillard were only
running on, with one another, and
that there was never the slightest i'll
feeling between them. The pistol il
a double action, and Snake alleges this
is the reason IL was discharged so
easily.
Coroner Peal will hold the inquest
this afternoon some time. The name
the deceased gave at the city hospital
was Tom Gillas, and he said his home
was in Savannah, Tenn.
He was 2s years old and leaves a

BOOMING GROVER
Important Session Said to Have Been
Held in New York.
Has Bearing on lEr- President oleve.
lands Running for President

New York. Jan. 9s-A significant
and important political conference was
held in the apartments Of ex-Secretary
Richard olney at the Waldorf. Astoria.
According to Edward NJ. Sheppard. ~.
ceat Democratic candidate for mayor,
the conference will have much bear.
ing on the candidacy OF Grover Cleye-
land for the presidency.
Mr.. Cleveland came to town TO make
speech Of eulogy Of his late friend,
Abrsm s. Hewitt. Al 10 O'Clock at
night olney arrived and secured ssuite
at the same hotel Ex-secretary vii.
Liam @. whitney arrived shortly
afterwsrd. Sheppard accompanied
Cleveland TO the hotel from the City
club shortly before midnight.
They went little after midnight
to olney's apartments The confer.
ence lasted nearly three hours. Whit
ney and Sheppard left the hotel and
went to their homes. Cleveland and
olney went mp early and breaEfasted
together. They later took trains 10
their respective homes.
The ex-president begged to be ex-
cused from saying anything about the
conference. ~ would desire. said
he, that the midnight gathering in
Mr. olney's room be regarded rs with.
out other motive than an exchange Of
greetings with my old associates"
Whitney and olney refused to dis
cuss the meeting at all. Sheppard, the
recognized Democratic "strong man"
of New YORK, said the conference was
Of importance. He limited that IL was
time for the party to get together.
Many candidates for 1904 have been
metioned, and II is time for serious
consideration of the matter He re-
fused TO say whether Cleveland OF
olney had been urged to run at the
conferences, but from his guarded
talk il was inferred that Mr.. Cleve.
land will be asked to agsin be the
standard bearer.

FIERY SPEECHES
AT INDIGNATION MEETING OF
KNOXVILLE ODD FELLOWS.

Knoxville, Tenn, Jan. 2S-An in
dignation meeting attended by dele.
gates from all the local lodges of Odd

committee consist ing of one member
OF each of the local lodges was ap.
pointed to obtain details Of the affair
and report back to another meeting to

one of the girls connected with this
case is from Knoxville.
