Laborers on New York Subway Have
Narrow Escape.
New York, Apr. 6.-The woodwork
in the subway now under construction
caught fire at Broadway and Fulton
streets today and dense volume of
smoke poured from the entrance to
the excavation. No one was hurt. A
large number of laborers are employ
ed in the subway and the fire cut off
their usual means of egress so that
it was necessary to tear up the street
a block further down Broadway and
let them escape. The flames were
smothered after a half hours work
by the firemen. The fire seriously in
terfered with telephone and tele-
graph service in the lower part of the
city. The fire was caused by the ex-
plosion of a small lamp known as
the Banjo lamp. used by the labor
ers in underground work.

HE IS DISfRANCHISfD
Will Besides Losing All Political
Rights Serve Six Months in Jail
and Pay Fine of $2,5O0.-Now Up
to the Court of Appeals.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Apr. 6.-United
States Senator Joseph Ralph Burton
ceiving illegally from the Rialto
Grain & Securities Company, as their
attorney, money for his influence at
Washington with the postoffice depart
ment, was today sentenced to six
months in Jail and to pay a fine of
$4,000 by Judge Adams in the U. S.
District Court here.
Judge Adams, after briefly review
ing the motion for a new trial and
for arrest of judgment, over-ruled
both. In passing sentence the court
said: After a fair and impartial tri-
al by a jury of exceptional intelli
gence, you have been found guilty
of the offences charged in the indict-
ment against you. The motion for
new trial in your behalf has afforded
me an opportunity to carefully re-
view and reconsider the evidence. AS
the result of this l am satisfied that
the jury reached true and just ver-
dict Your conviction necessarily re-
suits in your punishment. Its impor-
tance in my opinion is not confined
to it's effects on you. Your exalted
station in life, and the character of
your offending gives unusual signifi-
canoe to your conviction. 1t demon
strates that the law of the land is
equal to any emergency and that it
can be administered regardless of
personality or standing of the accus-
pie that public Offices cannot be pros
tituted to self-serving purposes. The
humiliation attending your conviction
and the statutory disqualification re-
sulting therefrom which forever in
capacitates you from holding any Of
fee of honor, trust and profit under
the government of the United States
are in themselves heavy punish
ment for your offenses. and leave lit
tie in the way of severity which can
be added
The court then proceeded to impose
a sentence of six months in the Iron
county Jail and fine of $4,000. At
the conclusion, Senator Burton sat
down with bowed head and eyes on
the floor. His attorney Immediately
filed the bill of exceptions and offer
ed a bond of $4,000 which was ac
cepted. Burton declined to discuss
the matter and will leave for his
home in Kansas tonight. The case
will now go to the United States dis
trict court of appeals. the highest
tribunal having jurisdiction of the
matter.

LuTHERANs TALK OF UNION.
Movements for More Closer ,Har.
mony in the Lutheran Church
are Being made.

Detroit. Mich. April 6.-Lutheran
ministers of the United States. rep
resenting nearly all the various syn
DDS of the church in America. began
a general free conference in Detroit
to-day and will remain in session un-
til the end of the week. The confer
ence will discuss the various points
of difference between the synodica1
and an attempt will be made to bring
about a closer union and more per-
feet harmony in the Lutheran church
in the United States
The principal synodical bodies of
the church are the general conference
the synodfcal conference, the general
synod and the so-called Independents.
These bodys represent between fifty
and sixty separate synods, of which
about forty are represented at the
present conference. Among them
selves the synods have waged almost
constant warfare on points of seem
ingly little importance, but which
have caused great breach in the
Lutheran church The various Theo-
logical questions which have caused
these troubles are to be exhaustive
ly discussed at the present meeting.
One of these questions is that of pre-
destination, which caused a number
of the present Independent synods to
secede from the general bodies in
1880, when the discussion was at its
height. Another point of difference
in the synods is the belief relative to
the Roman Catholic Church and the
pope. One of the synodical bodies
believes that the pope is the anti
Christ. The great majority of the
however, do not accede to
this view.
The movement for a closer har-
mOny in the Lutheran church origi-
mated with Rev III Bunge, of Arpin,
Wis, who is at k.esent member of
the Wisconsin synod. Two meetings
have already been held, one at Wate-
town, Wis. and the second at Mil
waukee. which were more or less
successful. The meeting begun here
to-day is the largest of the three and
it is expected that something more
definite may be accomplished.

Roswell held it's second city elec-

much interest was manifested in the
several wards, but by noon it was
seen that the voting was going about
one way, and interest corresponding

approval on mixed tickets and their

First ward as the returns show, the
opposition made it's strongest fight.
The contest between J. A. Cotting-
ham and A. J. Nisbet was particular
ly interesting. Crawford and Reeves
in the Second ward and Miller and
Carmack in the Third ward made a
good showing. In the Fourth and
Fifth wards the opposition went to

ever. The Fifth ward completely
reversed itself on last winters vote.

Smugg1er Plays a Shrewd Trick and

One of the custom-house officials

bringing diamonds into the country.

in all my long experience l have
never come across a device that equal

scheme employed by certain gentle

sions in bringing over $2,0oOOOO worth
Of precious stones into the United

upon them.

went about his trade with a GOODNESS
and confidence that surely nobody
could be suspicious Of.
Upon reaching New York on one
Of the ocean steamers he passed
through a rigid examination by the
customs officers, who were aware of
his interest in the diamond business.
Their efforts to find concealed Jewels
revealed nothing and the man was not
detained.
Nor Gid anybody think Of suspect-
ing him when he sailed on the mex.
outgoing trip of the same vessel that
had brought him to New York. To in
sure his complete comfort on the trip
over he secured his old stateroom.

friends passed approval upon the lit
