UNFORTUNATES

Cleveland, Nov. 17.-Three firemen
we're killed and two injured in the
largest fire this city has suffered in
months. The dead are: Robert Duffy,
James SchWeda and Robert Reed.
Duffy and Schweda were killed al
most instantly having been caught
under falling wall. Reed died soon
after.
The fire was in the large street car
barn of the Cleveland Electric Rail
way company on Holmden avenue and
started about 3 o'clock from an unde-
termined cause. Employees of the
street car company believe, however,
that 1t was of incendiary origin.
There were 100 motors stored with

of four acres, and the flames spread
like whirlwind, necessitating the
calling out of all available fire fight
ing apparatus in the city
The motors are valued at probably
$4,000 each The loss on the building
Is placed at $4,000. The fatalities
were caused by a wall falling sudden

SO that the work of rescue could &C on.
The firemen held in check, however,
were frantic to resume their work. In
desperation number rushed through
the binding smoke and flames. Mich
ael Corrigan of truck No. / was found
pinioned beneath mass of bricks.
He was pleading with his comrades to
rescue him.
A dash was made through the smoke
and fire and Corrigan was seized by
half a dozen hands and dragged to
safety. Both OF his legs were broken.
The firemen worked heroically in
the scalding, steaming bricks and the
form of Robert Duffy, who had per-
ished, was next brought out A mo-
ment later the lifeless body of Frank
Schweda was taken from the ruins.
His father and wife were killed less
than a month ago in a street car acci-
dent.
After ten minutes work Robert Reed
and Harry Vandevelde, who were bad

more fatalities, although firemen are
still searching the ruins.

MANUFACTURERS INTERESTED
Plan to Stop Price Cutting on Patent
Medicines.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-All three branch
es Of the drug trade, manufacturers,
jobbers and retailers, are greatly In
terested in the outcome of a move
ment just inaugurated by several lead
ing manufacturers of medicinal arti-
cles to stop price cutting on patent
medicines. For years the practice Is
said to have demoralized the drug
trade and all efforts to stop 1t have
thus far failed, except that in some
sections of the country conditions
have improved somewhat as result
of the anti-cut rate crusade. The plan
now about to be tried originated with
the manufacturers or proprietors and
aims at the control of prices on their
goods all over the country. Ii retail
druggist persists in cutting prices IL
is the intention of the manufacturers
in the new agreement, according 10
the Journal of Commerce, to stop sup
plying that cutter with their goods,
and. if necessary, to cut off those VINO
are found to be supplying the cutter.
Cooperation by the proprletors mas
now been secured and the manufac-
turers will at once proceed TO estab-
lish minimum prices for their wares.

LORD KITCHENER INJURED.
sustains Broken Leg While Horseback
Riding.

Simla, India, Nov. 17.-Lord Kitch-
orer, commander-in-chief of the Brit
, yyl forces in India, met with serious
- cident while riding home alone from
-. country house near here.
AS he was passing through tunnel
his horse became frightened and col
lded with the walled side. One of
Lord Kitchener's legs was broken in
two places.
Some time afterward coolies pass
ing through the tunnel found the COM
mander-in-chief lying there helpless
and brought him to Simla. He is now
reported to be doing we'll. Although
accustomed to the tunnel Lord Kitch-
ener's horse was frightened by sud-
denly coming upon native. The ami
NAL swerved and jammed its rider
against a beam in the side wall. His
leg was twisted and both bones
snapped above the ankle.
Upon discovering the identity Of the
injured man the coolies bolted and left
him lying on the ground, where he
suffered greatly for half an hour. The
broken bones have been set and, after
having passed a good night, the gen.
eral is in cheerful mood
1t appears that Lord Kitchener had
informed the members of his staff
that he was not going out for ride,
but later changed his plans. Hence
he was alone when the accident oc-
Cured.

COLOMBIA HOLDS THIS COUNTRY
RESPONSIBLE FOR sEcEs.
SION OF PANAMA.
SENDS PROTEST TO GREAT BRITAIN
HASTY RECOGNITION OF NEW
REPUBLIC ONE OF THE Ac-
TIONS CRITICISED.

London, Nov 1.-THE Colombian
authorities have cabled to London a
lengthy protest against the United
States action toward Panama in which
they claim that the main responsible
ity for the secession of Panama lies
with the United States government;
firstly, by fomenting the separatist
spirit, of which there seems to be
clear evidence; secondly. by hastily
acknowledging the independence of
the reyolted province and, finally, by
preventing the Colombian government
from using proper means to repress
the rebellion"
The cable message goes on to say
that President Marroquin has ener-
getically protested to the United
States and wishes that his protest
should be known throughout the civil
lied world. The president contends
that the United States has infringed
article 35 of the treaty of 1916, which,
he asserts, implies the duty on the
part of the United States to help Co
lombia in maintaining her sovereign
ty over the isthmus and adds that the
Colombian government repudiates the
assumption that they have barred the
way TO carrying out the canal project"
He asserts that since 1885 they have
Granted Canal Privileges
to different people no less than nine
times and claims that the treaty con-
cluded with the late General Hurlbut
when he was United States minister
to Colombia. at Bogota July s, 1870,
has been ignored at Washington. After
giving the previously stated reasons
for the Colombian senate's failure TO
approve the HayHerran treaty and as
serting that the delay in the negotia-
tions had not affected the ultimate
issue of the canal project the protest
of President Marroquin points out that
Colombia had constantly endeavored
to act in a friendly manner with the
United States, even asking for the as
sistance of American marines to insure
free transit across the iSthmuS," says
the rising occurred when the govern
ment was not prepared, having with
drawn most of its troops when peace
was re-established last year, and con-
cludes:
"The hastiness in recognizing the
new government which sprung up un-
der these circumstances is all the
more surprising to the Colombian gov
ernment. as they recollect the ener-
getic opposition of Washington to the
acknowledgment of the belligerency
OF the Confederates by the powers dur
ing the Civil war"

had reason to fear burglary and had
taken precautions. Our detective had
received a description Of the expected
robber and had made an error, in the
darkness of the evening.
Mr.. Kelvin fumed and ragged, but we
got an explanation from him at last.

Stoughton mansion for several days
as already knew-but he himself had
not yet spent night in Tunbridge. He
had telegraphed to have carriage

paths that ran through the field.

Kelvin, but he refused to be satisfied.
He berated us all, and the last words
that heard from him as he burst out
of the door were these, addressed to
the unfortunate Reedy:
"I'll teach you to call me an old jail
bird!'
I'll be hanged If he doesn't look like
one," said the detective after Kelvin
had gone, "and as for false arrest, for
get it. He was trespassing on your
property, and l had a right to ask him
what he was up to-"
/ may add that this view of the case
seemed to be sustained by Kelvin's
lawyers, whom he consulted on the fol-
