GENHRY'S SHOW
Arrived in the City-The Parade
This Morning Afternoon Per-
Torrance.

Pretty as a picture was the parade
made this morning by Gentry Bros.
Trained Animal shows, which is ir,
Richmond today for an afternoon and
night performance. There was a large
patronage this afternoon, and as the
various acts introduced are entirely
different from any of those heretofore
seen here, the spectators were more
than pleased. A more mirth-rrovoking
feature .krre never was than the
Giant Rooster, in his series Of erotes-
que gyrations, while the climax in
which the trained bantam engages
the big one in a fight, was a wonder
full revelation as to the possibilities
of animal training.

KINGhAN ON FIRE
Believed That the Southern Part Of
 the Town Is Destroyed.

Passengers who arrived on this mornings train from Ash Fork report that the town of Kingman suffered very disastrous fire yesterday but just how serious it proved to be could not be learned.
 The source of Information were the passengers on east bound Santa Fe train No. 2, which fpassed through Eingman soon after the fire started. They said that when their train ar rived there one house on the south side of the track was burning. By the time the train left the fire had spread to the adjoining house on each side. making three that were ablaze. The houses on that side of the town were closely punched together and the facil- ities for fighting the fire were very meager. When No. ? left Kingman there was every indication that the greater part of the town south of the track would be destroyed.

Senator Clarke of Arkan-as was absent also. The most important changes made in the house bill are the insertion of clause prohi- biting traffie in liquor for ten years in the Indian Territory and the elimina- ton from the house bill of all proYl- sions with reference to suffrage except the following: That said states shall never enact any law restricting or abridsing the right of suffrage On ac- count of race. color, or previous condi- tion of servitude.'
 As passed by the house. the bill spe- cidcaAy permitted proposed states, IT they so desired, to abridge suffrage on account of sex. The provision as to sex caused so many protests from wom- an suffragists that the committee struck out the provision on this sub ject thus leaving no reference what sOever in the bill that might indicate an opinion of any sort on the question of female suffrage.

COOKED TO DEATH
Fatal Accident on Battle
 ship Massachusetts
Three Hen Were ScaIded by Escaping Steam in the Engine ROOm-Several
 Others Badly Injured.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 15.-Caught in a death trap and helpless to save themselves, three men lost their lives and four others, including Lieutenant Wm. c. Cole, were terribly scalded by a rush of steam and boiling water in the fire room of the battle ship Massachusetts. lying at League Island navy yard.
 The dead:
 EDWARD BUB, married. boilermak- CT and civilian.
 ANDREW HAMILTON. married. boiler maker and civilian.
 CHAS. RITZELs boilermaker. helper and civilian.
 The injured:
 LIEUTENANT VIM. c. COLE. as sistant chief engineer of the battleship, scalded about the head and back. CT. badly scalded.
 JAS. WILSON, boiler maker, helper and civilian employe, scalded.
 JOS. A. DURAN. boiler maker. help CT and civilian, scalded.
 With the exception of Lieutenant Cole, all the killed and injured reside in Philadelphia.
 Lieutenant Cole received his injuries in a heroic effort to rescue the others. The accident was caused by the giving way of a gaske, or rubber washer. on the boiler on the starboard side of the ship.
 The Massachusetts has been at the navy yard for some time undergoing extensive repairs, particularly to the boilers and machinery. The boiler on which the accident occurred had re- gently been cleaned and thoroughly tested and the boilermakers were today at work on another boiler. Without warning, the gasket between the boil CT plate and boiler head gave way and a terrific rush of steam and hot wat CT occurred. The doors of the fire room were closed at the time and the only avenue of escape was the safety ladder. Only one man. Bramlett. the ships fireman. thought of the ladder and he escaped without a scar. Few on the upper decks knew what had happened until the steam came rushing out from the seething caldron from be- low. The work of rescue was prompt. and to this promptness those who es- capped death owe their lives. The first to enter the fire hole was Lieutenant Cole. Without hesitating at becoming scalded by the steam, he entered quick ly and dragged the men from the ola ce to the door where they were taken In charge by others. Bub and Hamilton were dead when found and Ritzel died in a few minutes after being taken on deck

 The bridge was a single span, 500 feet in length built in 1852. It has been known to be unsafe for some time and heavy traffic was not allowed on it. The accident was caused Iby two cables on the north side slipping from their moorings. When that side drop ped another cable on the other side snapped, the floor tilted and turned over. During the civil war the cable of this bridge was cut by General Wise when he evacuated Charleston, the bridge at the same time being partly burned. The same cable was afterward spliced and has been in use ever since.

She received several vis- its from her attorneys. held long con ferences with them. conversed with newspa per men and for fifteen min utes stood face to face with President Beekwith of the Oberlin bank. who has come to such great trouble through his financial transactions with her.
 The meeting was dramatic The aged banker. who had for hours been before the county grand jury. wen 70 the or- flee of Sheriff Barry this afternoon and asked if he might see Mrs Chad wick. The sherif consented and Mrs. Chadwick was eager to meet him. Ac- companied by Mrs Bsclwith. who. ovr- ing to her hunsband's i'll health. Is al- ways by his side, the aged banker made his way slowly and feebly up the long flight of stairs leading 10 Mrs Chadwick's cell She met him at the entrance of the corridor and shook hands with him cordially.
 After some general conversation AIr. Beckwith referred to their business re- lations by saying: Mrs. Chadwick you have ruined me. but I am not 30 sure yet you are a fraud. I have stood by you to my last dollar. and l do think now that the time as come for you to make known everything in relation to this thing"
 Beckwith's voice betrayed deep emo ton as he spoke. and he leaned heav- fly on the arm of his wife. who was almost compelled to support him. go great was his physical weakness Mrs. Chadwick did not reply directly to the words of MT. Beckwith, but her man. ner and the look on her face were n0l conciliatory.
 Seeing that she would not answer, MT. Beckwith went on: '-I have aI- ways told you that did not like it he- cause you changed your lawyers so of- ten. Why don't you get a good one and stick to him?''
 Well" said Mrs. Chadwick in reply. ''I have reasons for that

 Not since left New YOrk." was Mrs. Chadwick's reply.
 Has he changed his mind:~
 No. he has the same belief he aI- ways held"
 To what matter the questions re- ferred was not known. MT. and Mrs Beckwith then said that they hoped the matters connected with the Chad wick affair would be eventually strengthened out. The interview then closed. Mrs. Chadwick thanked them for calling, shook hands with AIr and Mrs. Beckwith and said she would be pleased to have them call again.
 There is a possibility that proceed ings in the case might be resumed to- morrow morning in the bankruptcy court and that Mrs Chadwick will be summoned as a witness. although the probabilities are that the hearing will go over Sunday and possibly MOnd -
 The present programme of the fed eral authorities is to have Mrs Chad wick arraigned in the United States district court before Judge Wing on Monday next She will be asked 10 plead to the indictments and VIII be given a chance to furnish bail if able to do so.
