GIRL FIGHTS FIRE
LIKE TRAINED VETERAN
ExtingUishes Blaze Unaided, Rather
Than Alarm Her Invalid Brother.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Miss Libby
Byers, the daughter of Moses Byers,
horse dealer, was ready to start for a
matinee about 1 p. m. AS she descended
the stairs, buttoning her gloves,
screams from the cellar caught her
ears and the cry of Fire"
On the top floor Miss Byers' broth
er, paralytic, lay ILL., Her first
thought was for him-to spare the
shock of any alarm. Rushing to the
staircase leading to the basement she
fastened the door and then ran down
to find out the cause of the excitement.
She was met by cloud of smoke and
the noise of cracking flames. When
she made her way in, followed by a
maid, she found a big pile of kindling
wood ablaZe.
Calling to the servant to control her
self that her brother might not hear
the commotion, Miss Byers caught up
fire extinguisher and returned to fight
the fire. While the maid ran to find
a policeman and turned in an alarm,
the girl succeeded in eXtinguishing the
flames, which had already gained head
way.
The firemen found her standing be-
side the smoking pile, her handsome
walking gown ruined, but her nerves
unshaken. Miss Byers smilingly as
sured them there was no need for
their services, then mounted the stairs
to her room, changed her gown and
went to the theater.

DEAF AND DUMB YOUTH
A NATURAL CRIMINAL
English Lad Develops HomicidaI Ten
dencies-Law Lays Hold of Him.

LONDON, Feb. 14.-William Owing
ton, lad aged twelve, who lives at
Middlesborough, is both deaf and
dumb. Despite his tender years he has
developed criminal tendencies which
have brought him into the hands of
the law.
Last July he attempted to poison a
child aged eleven months, who lives
next door, by giving it a dose of car
bolic acid. The boy was sent to the
workhouse, but as there was nothing
in his demeanor to suggest weak in
tellect, he was returned to the care
of his parents.
He was yesterday convicted of rob-
bing a till, and the bench committed
him to an industrial school for four
years.

a NERVOUS eREAKpowN
Senator Hanna's Condition Becomes
Suddenly Worse.


Washington, Feb. 4.-Senator M. A.
Hanna had setback late yesterday
afternoon which for a time considera-
bly, alarmed his family, who had been
encouraged to hope he was getting to
be himself again, but the congestlVe
attack was averted to some extent by
prompt action, and today the senator,
while not SO wei as early yesterday,
shows excellent rallying power. The
setback came in the form OF an attack
that resembled sick spells that have
seized the senator on two or three oc-
casions in the past few years. He was
seized about $50 O'Clock last evening
with congestive chill which hereto
fore had been marked by a rush or
blood to the head and cold of the ex-
tremities Members of the family
were on hand at its first outbreak, and
by the prompt application OF mustard
plasters and hot water the attack was
prevented from becoming so serious
as it was feared it might become, and
later in the evening it was stated that
the senator's condition was again 81
most at his normal state of the past
few weeks. Or. RiXey, the attending
physician, called in Dr. Magruder and
a thorough examination was made OF
Mr.. Hanna's heart, lungs and kidneys
and they were found to be all right.
Dr. Rixey SAID: Senator Hanna's
condition is not alarming, and | hope
he will be out in a week or ten days"
The illness of the senator is due to
physical and nervous exhaustion caus-
ed by an attack OF grip and overwork.

Disagreement in the Miners
Conference May Lead to
Serious Consequences,
AGREED TO DISAGREE
Miners and Operators Came TO Part
ing of the Ways Over Renewal
of Wage Schedule.
While Both sides Made Concessions
"a They Could Not Fix on
Final Basis.

indianapolis, Feb. AFTER wrest-
ling with the scale question for five
days, the joint committee and the sub
committee reported late Wednesday
afternoon that the mine workers and
mine operators could not reach an
agreement An adjournment of the
joint conference was then taken for
thirty days.
Both sides had made concessions,
the miners abandoning their demands
for the run-mine basis and the differ
entail of cents, and settling dow
to a demand for the present scale for
the ensuing year. The operators. on
the other hand, receded from their
demand for Is per cent reduction
and demanded that the scale Of 1900
which was re-adopted in 1901 and 1902
be adopted This would mean a reduc
ton of about - per cent in wages
Both sides stood firmly on these de-
mands, and when the subcommittee
reported to the scale committee that
no progress had been made, and that
there was a disagreement, the scale
committe Immediately issued call
for the accredited 353 operators and
557 miners delegates of the joint con-
ference, to meet in Tomlinson Hall
to receive report Incorporating the
facts set forth. When it was found an
agreement was impossible adjourn
ment was taFen.
The grounds upon which the miners
take their stand is that the compe-
tition of the operators in the central
&c
not as keen as the operators would
have them believe. The miners say
that at least in Ohio and Pennsylvania
their men have not steady work, ana
that all over the central competitive
field the cost of living is such at this
time that they cannot accept a cut in
wages and maintain a fair standard Of
living.
Both sides are well equipped for a
fight. The operators have had several
fat years, and it is said on good au-
thority that the Ohio and Pennsylva-
MIA operators who staked cut their
fighting grounds weeks ago, have
stored 100000 tons of coal on the
lakes and at other points. This coal
would be advanced in price sufficiently
to pay dividends
The miners have 100000 in their
national treasury. The Illinois miners
have 100000 in their own treasury,
and the other states have enough
more to raise it to S1,000,00O, making
50 900 900 of cash available for any
emergency. The strike assessment on
the paying membership of the organ
iZation. which is approximately 300.-
900 at this time has just been increas-
ed from 10 to % cents a month, which
will bring in approximately $4,000
this month and in March. A suspen-
sion of operations in the four states
would mean that $4,000 of the mem
bership would go out and after April
/ would not be on the assessment list.
1t is pointed out that great political
pressure will undoubtedly be brought
to bear on the operators, and also on
