leaving testified in stronger language
than words to the pleasure of the
evening.

Forward Movement.

The quantity of building actually
In progress, the amount contemplated
10 the immediate future, and the
activity of the real estate market at
much advanced prices indicate a
degree Of confidence in the future Of
Lexington far beyond that of any
previous period in twenty years. If
Lexington in its municipal capacity
will inaugurate system Of public
improvements at all in keeping with
the general prosperity and business
hopefulness, the confidence Of investors
win be immensely stimulated.

begin April lst, the amount of build
ing painting, repairing and sidewalk
re laying would be increased, possibly
doubled, Immediately. Now is the
time for the forward movement,
unless the people want to commit
municipal suicide. Now is the time
to induce outsiders to come in and
increase the taxable wealth Of the
city, to increase the value Of the
property Of those who are here, tC
encourage our schools, 70 stimulate
private improvements and to inspire
our citizens with civic pride anC
enthusiasm.

COL. LYNCH IS DECLARED GUILTY.
He Was Given Death Sentence Four Counis Thought Tn at
 His Sentence Will Later Be Committed

London, Jan 23.--When the trial of Colonel Arthur Lynch, member of par lament for Galway, on the charge of high treason, was resumed to-day, counsel for the defense began summing uIA> There was no attempt to deny that Colonel Lynch supported the Boers, but counsel contended that his natural ization was in no way prompted by reasonable Intent and was solely for the advantage he would thus secure for Journalistic purposes. Subsequent ly the defendant actively supported the Boer cause in the belief that he was a legally naturalized burgher.
 Replying for. the prosecution the so- licitor general, Sir Edward Carson. maintained that Colonel Lynch joined the Boer army as a discontented Irish man, thereby committing most cow ardly and most serious act of treason. Is naturalization, continued the solicitor general, was only a fiimsy pretext. Counsel then proceeded to detail the prisoners alleged acts of adherence to his country's enemies.
 The lord chief justice summed up very briefly. He said that if in war

time British subject joined the king s enemies, whatever his purpose, he was guilty of an unlawful act Naturaliza- tion during war time afforded no ex- cuse whatever for subsequent acts. There was abundant evidence, he said, of overt acts in aiding the kings ene- mics. The jury after having been out half an hour returned a verdict of guilty.
 When asked If he had anything to say as to why he should not be sen fenced to death, Colonel Lyncn e. piled: Thank you. will say noth- ing"
 The sentence of death was passed on each of the four counts in the indict. ment.
 The prisoner then bowed to the court and was removed in custody.
 Lynch throughout bore himself with unfaNering composure and walked out steadily between the jailers He passed the bench where his wife and other relatives were sitting Mrs Lynch has been given permission to see her hus- hand. Although formally sentenced to be hanged, his sentence will probably be com nlllfad

PANIC IN CIGAR FACTORY.
Three Women Were Killed and
 Several Injured.

Fire Started in an Adjoining Building
 and Started Stampede in Cigar
 Works-In Wild Rush for Fire Els
 capes the Weaker Ones Were Tram,
 pied Under Foot.
 New York, Jan 23.--Three women were klled and five women and one man were severely injured ln a panic in Leopold Miller eS Son s clgar factory on CrosUy street to-day, as a result or fire in an adjoining budding. The deaths are! Jennie Messino, 25 years; Fannie Kerstb erg, 22 years, and Mrs Mary Sparba, 25 years.
 The names from the burning build ing beat against the walls of the fac, tory, causing a panic among the 800 men, women and boys at tswork there. There was wild rush for the fire es- capes at the front and, rear ends of the building, in which the weaker were tranpled down by the stronger.
 The men when they reached the sec ond story did not wait for the ladders to be raised, but pushed women off to the ground, about fifteen feet below, and leaped themselves. Tn this way many women were more or less in jured. The worst scenes were on the stairways by which crowds of panic stricken employees tried to escape from the building. The men shrieked and knocked down and trampled upon the women. At the third story had it mot been for the timely arrival of the DO lice the death list would have been much longer. The officers climbed over the heads of the crowd, reached the third story and succeeded by pushing the men aside i'll making passageway for the women. When the policemen and the fire department had cleared the building the bodies of the three dead women and the injured were found.

THIRTEENTH DAY OF ST72IkE--SEWEL REMAINS lMU1
STONES ON TRE TRACK.
Naugatuck Line Motorman Had
 to Push Them on.

Crowd of Work Girls Guyed Him and
 Cheered Him On-The One Passcn-
 ger on the Gar scolded the Girls for
 Being so Saucy.
 One of the motormen on the Nauga- tuck line had to try the muscle of his brawny arm and the strength of ais body to-day. During the noon hour some person or persons placed four or five big boulders on the tracks on South Main street near the street which leads to the baseball grounds at Riverside park. A number of girls, most of whom are employed at Smith & Griggs,' saw them and they waited for the car to come along. Shortly before o'clock 1t came along, the mo- torman stopped the car, jumped off and started to roll the stones off the tracks. He had to use all the strength that he could muster to do so. While he was doing 1t the crowd, which numbered about 100, kept guying him, and he responded not a word but somebody else did. There was one lone passenger on the car, man who is said to be an office employe of Smith & Griggs. He went out on the back platform and expressed his mind very freely in condemning the actions of the crowd. 1t is not known whether he accused them of putting l the stones on the tracks, but if he did, he made a mistake. Four or five little boys, who were viewing things from a distance; might have told him who put the stones there.

OPERATORS TEsTIFY.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan 23.- 1.-The inde- pendent operators of the upper coal fields began calling witnesses to-day before the coal strike commission. There are about thirty of these com panies before the committee. The first witness was Howell Harris of Scran- ton, mining engineer employed at the National colliery of the William Con- nell Coal Go. He had observed min ing in the mituminous fields, and he said that work was heavier in the hard coal regions than in the soft coal. But the cramped positions in which soft coal miners must work, he said, were more tiring.

Asks That the Man That Has Done

 Dear Sir:-My attention has been called to a little editorial that ap- peared in your paper recently in which this expression occurred: "While the working men continue to vote for men whose interests are diametrically opposed to their own, just so long will they be fooled with gold bricks"
 Now, I suppose I ought not to take offense at this, as in war and politics all methods are fair; but being new in politics I am a little disturbed when reputable newspaper tells its readers that when they voted for me they bought gold brick.

 If you think that any of my demo cratic predecessors from this district have done more for the wage-earnel of this city, should be pleased to know their names.
 CORNELIUS TRACY.
 [Senator Tracys friend has given him the wrong tip. There was no edi torial squib in our columns such as is referred ito. The senator should take the Democrat every night and be abreast of the times. We believe there was reference of some sort i'll the labor column to men who do not prove to be what was expected of them when put to the test. The Democrat has given no opinion on this matter up tc the present. We can assure the sena tor, however, from what we know o1 the labor element in this city, that ii he is looking for a chance to air his grievances and his good deeds, he will find labor champions enough to give him 8 go. The senator shied his cas, tor. into the ring, and he must not ex- pect to have the arena all to himself The Democrat has used MT Tracy very fairly at all times, giving him the credit that is due him, and though 2 republican we threw no mud at hin in the recent campaign n.-Ed.1

A Juicy MOrSeI.

A case was on in Municipal Court
Wednesday, which, for clear foolish
ness, took the cake, basket and all.
A girl, eleven years of age was under
arrest for making slanderous state
mentsOto another 'giIl II years old,
regarding the character of the latter
girls mother. Mrs. A. Wullotz was
the mother and she at once went to
City Attorney Westcott and swore
out a criminal complaint under the
laws of the state against the child,
Mary Moravetz. The testimony ad-
duced in court was not of the kinder
garten variety and the Wullotz
woman, in the interests of morality,
should have received heavy SEN
tence for bringing the affair before
the public. The woman has con.
tinual row with her neighbors and
the moment she secures the short
end of it, she rushes into court. Only
short time ago she secured war
rant for the arrest Of some children
for calling her '.city hall" and ''city
mayor" The penchant for rushing
to the city hall and the mayor was
the incentive for the 'nick-name."
Judge Cosgrove lectured both par
ties and regretted the bringing of
such affairs into court. The girl was
allowed TO depart with the admonit-
ion to temper her language. Mrs.
Wullotz says it cost her $40 to secure
the warrant and she thinks she was
indicated to that extent.
