EIGHT PERSONS INJURED.
Three Women Probably Fatally Hurt
at a Fire in Rrocklyn.

&
New York, Nov. %. Three women
were probably fatally hurt and five
firemen We're injured severely in a
blaze that destroyed two buildings in
Brooklyn early in the day.
The fire started in the cellar of a
drug store at Fulton and Adelphi
streets. Three upper floors were oc-
cupied by three families, consisting of
fifteen persons.
The flames spread upward so quick
ly that when the sleeping tenants were
aroused by the smoke and cracking
flames they found all escape by the
stairways had been cut off.
Bella Hill, Florence Seabrook and
Hetta Richardson, all of whom lived
on the fourth floor, made their way
down one story and out on to the cor
nice. Mrs. Seabrook had her baby in
her arms. The cornice gave way and
the women were precipitated to the
ground.
Mrs. Seabrook clasped the infant to
her bosom in such way that when
she struck the sidewalk the little one
escaped injury The women were hllr-
ried1y carried to a hospital, where their
injuries were pronounced probably fa-
tal
Eight families, comprising thirty
four persons, escaped or were rescued
from building adjoining the drug
store before the house was destroyed.
The fremen displayed great bravery
in the work of rescue, and two of them
fell from swerying ladder two stories
above the street. Three others were
badly cut by falling debris. The finan-
cial loss was small.

KENTUCKY MOB DlsPERsEs.
All Danger of Lynching at Lexington
Seems Past.

Lexington, KY, Nov. 23.-The mob
that threatened to lynch the negroes
held in Jail here for numbering a white
man last Sunday night and attempting
to kill other white people dispersed as
day dawned. The troops and extra po-
lice have retired and the jail is guard
ed now only by deputies. It is believ-
ed that all danger of lynching is past,
as the authorities cannot now be TAX
en- by surprise and the jail will be
we'll guarded at night with troops IN
readiness for emergency.
The preliminary hearing of the ne
groes was the cause of much excite
ment. They were taken to the court
house in a patrol wagon guarded by
twelve policemen. A large crowd had
gathered at the jail and the streets
were lined with shouting people. The
patrol wagon was driven atbreakneck
speed to the courthouse where, after
a preliminary hearing, the negroes
were held to the grand jury. The same
exciting scenes attended the return Of
the negroes to Jail. The doors of the
jail were open when the patrol wagon
returned and the negroes were literally
thrown through the entrance and the
doors slammed in the face of the mob
which surged around the place. Many
threats Of lynching were heard.

HOUSE WRECKED BY A BOMB.
Family of a Prominent Omaha Attor-

Family of a Prominent Omaha Attor-
ney Have a Marrow Escape.
Omaha, Nov. 23.-The home of Ell
mer r. Thomas, a prominent lawyer
of this city and attorney for the civic
federation, was badly wrecked by a
bomb placed on the front porch at 2
a. m. Mr.. Thomas and his family We're
in the house at the time and he consid-
ers it miraculous that none of them
were injured.
Mrs. Thomas was awakened about 2
O'clock by noise on the front porch
and aroused her husband, believing
that burglars were trying to enter the
house. Mr. Thomas began an investi-
cation and discovered fire on the
front porch. He picked up a large rug
and attempted to smother the flames,
when "a terrific explosion, occurred.
Although but a few feet from the mis-
sile he escaped injury The front wall
of the house was blown in, doors were
shattered and an immense hole was
torn in the ground. The interior of the
building is wreck. The explosion
was: heard for three miles.
A squad of police were on the scene
in short time, but no clue to the per-
petrators of the deed was found.
Mr. Thomas believes the attack re-
rulted from his activity in enforcing
the law against violators of the saloon
law and also to his connection with the
Dennison extradition case.

STOLE vALU ABLE CERTIFICATES.
Trusted Empioye Gets Away With
Costly Shares Of Stock.

trusted EmPloye GETS Away with
Costly Shares Of Stock.
New York, Noy. 90. Behind the pub
litation by detective agency in Wall
street Of q notice warning brokers'
and bankers that the assignment on
two certificates for 100 shares Of Unit
ed States Steel preferred stock, worth
about $4,000, and one certificate for
4f1fty shares of Michigan copper mining
stock, worth about $500, had been
forged, is a report that the certificates
were stolen by a trusted man in the
employ Of Edward Breitung of Mar
quette.
It is stated that the employe ex-
pressed a desire to take a short vaca-
tion three weeks ago. After he had
gone Breitung learned that the man
had left no definite address and told
different persons various stories as
to his destination. Suspicion was
aroused and an examination of the
safety deposit box, to which the man
had access, was hurriedly made. It is
said to have resulted in the discovery
that several hundred shares were miss
ing, besides the certificates mentioned
. Breitung hurried East and found
that the man already had transferred
some of the shares to his own name.
Owing to the form of assessment
which the certificates bore there is
some question as to who will have to
bear the losses.

Cleveland, Nov 23.-At a meeting
of prominent business men held at the
Union club here, the National Mer-

$4,000, 100000 per annum, and the coun-
try's whole prosperity depends upon
the undisturbed continuation and eX-
tension of this commerce. Yet it is
being carried over sea today under
foreign flags, The tonnage of Amer
lean ships engaged in the foreign trade
aggregate only $4,000 tons, while
there is not today single ship build
ing any where in the United States

ical and calls for immediate action.
Vice presidents of the league will
later be chosen from each state in the
Union in order to make it national in

WEDDING GUEST KILLED.
Jealousy Leads to Murder and Friends
Of Slayer Shield Him.

Duluth, Nov. %. "a wedding at Eve
leth, Mimi, was followed by a murder
at 3 o'clock a. m. when one of the
guests shot another to death in the
room where few hours before the
nuptial knot had been tied. The vic
tim was Prank Parchner, Well-to-do
Austrian, who had been visiting
friends in Eveleth and who was soon
to return to his home. The name of
his slayer is unknown and it is be-
lieved that the latter's friends are
shielding him.
The shooting occurred in a crowded
room, during the wedding festivities,
and the bride and groom, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Bolter, were dancing in an ad-
joining room at the time Of the trage-
dy. 1t is said that Parchner, who had
been an honored and popular guest,
inspired the jealousy of several local
guests, and it is supposed that one of
these did the shooting while indamed
with wine. Parchner was shot twice
and died almost instantly.
