Thieves Get About $50 From New
Richmond Saloon.

Burglars broke into the New
Richmond hotel bar room run by
Mr., Ben Allen. this morning about
2 o'clock and took between $i4 and
$50.
Entrance was effected through the
rear by breaking open the, back door
and the burglars took dniy money,
not touching the stock.
The proprietor thinks that is was
some one acquainted with the meth
DDS of running the bar. as the mon
ey was taken from a small cash
drawer under the back bar and the
cash register was not tempered with.
The matter has been placed in the
hands of the police who are work
ing on the case and hope to soon
have developments to report
The police found blood or the
glass where the burglar evidently
cut his hand in breaking IT out, and
are looking for a man with a cut

Above Last Evening.
Cold Wave Severe In Many Parts of
the Country-53 Below Zero
I'm One Place.
LITTLE INCONVENIENCE HERE.

More cold and snow--this is the
story in a few words. Last night was
bitter cold, the minimum being Z
above. six degrees warmer than the
night before, but snow began falling
about a. m. and continued heavy
until Z or s o'clock, when II almost
stopped.
The temperature last night ddn't
change much. and many Paducahans
when they arose today were surpris-
ed to find several inches of fresh,
crisp snow on the ground.
The cold weather appears to be
here for at least a day longer. and
it has had some effect on business,
but not a great deal. The street
cars were a little late in getting
started today, but this afternoon the
city seems to be running smoothly
along, little the worse for the cold
snap and snow storm.
The snow today intenered little
with street car traffic on the prirci-
pal lines. The company got OFT its
snow car early and the depot line
was cleared and cars were runHiu 9
at o'clock Broadway was also
worked and cars running regularly
on this line by o'clock.
At the l. c. depot laborers were
kept busy from early in the morn
ing cleaning away the snow from the
platform. Trains were delayed a lii.

nations Were Declined.
CHANGES ARE IN PROSPECT

Havana, Feb. 3.-All five mem
bers of the cabinet visited President
Palma yesterday and presented their
designations. They stated they desir-
ed since Palma had announced his
allegiance to the Moderate party to
open the way for him to make what
ever selections for cabinet officers
he chose, under new conditions.
Palma courteously but emphatic
ally declined to consider the resign l.
lions and added that his joining the
Moderate party was purely a Pc"
sonal act and did not necessarily a..
feet his cabinet. The cabinet me,n
bers, however, are well aware that
there will be changes after consul a.
lions between Palma and the Moi-

George P. Ashley an /. G. Con-
ductor Perished at Wickliffe.
He Was At Outs with Laborers and
II Is Believed He Met With
Foul Play.
HIS CHARRED REMAINS FOUND

George p. Ashley, superintendent
of construction for w. j. Oliver, the
railroad contractor who is building
the extension for the Illinois Central
and Mobile and Ohio railroads at
Wickliffe, KY. met death yesterday
in a horrible manner. The car oc-
cupied by Ashley and his bookkeep-
en- Roy Mcclellan, as an Office and
temporary residence was destroyed
by fire and the former burned to
death.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
but It is presumed to have caught
from an overheated stove. Ashley
and McClelland occupied small
room near one end of the car as a
bedroom. McClelland was awakened
yesterday morning by smoke in the
bedroom and discovered that the
other end of the car was in flames.
He went to the bed occupied by Ash
ley and found it empty. He then
made his escape through a window
in the bedroom supposing that Ash
ley had already escaped.
1t was learned later that Ashley
had not been seen and his charred
remains were found in the smoul-
dering ashes. Judging from the place
where the body was found Ashley
was in the private Office, adjoining
the front Office when the end came.
Around one finger of his charred
hand was found key ring on which
were the keys to the safe which con-
tanned the money used in paying
the laborers. The safes were in the
room where Ashley succumbed. The
books were kept in the same room
and 1t is belived by some that he at
tempted to open the safes and ext
tract something, although the iron
boxes were both fireproof. Others he
lieve that he went into the room TO
get the books, but that does no. ex-
plain the presence of the keys II his
hand.
A revolver was found In the ashes
indicating that it was In the for
ward end of the car where the fire
was supposed to have originated. It's
pes ence there cannot be explained
and therA are many who believe that
Ashley'n Ell with foul play.
II is known that some of the
workmen were unfriendly to Ashley
and his employers and Il is reported
that some of them made threats
that they would blow up the car. 1t
is charged that the men are poorly
paid for the class of work they are
doing and that they are charged ex-
orbitant prices for supplies from
rcommisslry.
Mr.. j. A. Wood who lives within a
few steps of the car. says thai he
saw the fire when 1t first began
breaking out at one end of the car
and he could not see any reason why
Ashley could not escape II he was IN
the car alive when the alarm was
given.
Ashley's remains wo,e taken TO
