That's the Question Now to
Be Decided.
JUDGE RITZ DESERVES RECoG-
NITIoN FROM HIS PARTY.

While II is not our desire TO par
ticipate on the contest, We feel dis
posed in this fight against Judge Ritz
TO take the least Objectionable OF the
two candidates. and therefore give
space to the following from the Mon
roe Watchman. Al any rate we feel
that Judge Ritz should have a fair
and honest show:
The contest between Hon. I. G..
Herndon OF Welch, and Hon. II a.
Ritz, OF Bluefield, for the republican
nomination for Circuit Judge In this
circuit, renders the composition OF

FIRE FOLLOWS EXPLOSION
Panic In n Chicago Hotel Following
Fatal Explosion In the
Boiler Room.

Chicago, Jan. PA panic among the
guests of the Windemere hotel, Fifty
sixth street and Cornell avenue, fol-
lowed the explosion, Sunday, of a steam
boiler in the basement, which resulted
in the death of John Rapkoch, engineer,
ard the serious injury of Mrs. Seeta
May, a guest. The explosion partly
wrecked the hotel building and dam
aged adjacent residences and apart
ment buildings. The guests Of the ho-
tel were left in darkness by the de-
struction Of the lighting plant and
many were obliged to await the arrival
Of firemen, who battered down the
doors of their apartments and released
them. Fire followed the crash, but it
was soon under control. The damage is
estimated at $4,000.

EIGHTEEN PERSONS DEAD
NEARLY TWO SCORE OF OTHERS
WERE INJURED.
Fearful Results of an Alarm of Fire
In n Negro baptist Church
I'm Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Jan. pa wild panic
following a loud shrek Of "fre"
brought death to 1S colored persons
and injuries to nearly two score Of
others Sunday night in st. Paul's Bap-
list church on the west side Of Eighth
street, between Poplar street and Gi-
rard avenue. The terrible rush to gain
the streets was Of brief duration, and
that more were not killed in the STAN
pede was probably due to the fact that
the church was not crowded. At the
time the disaster occurred not more
than 300 persons were on the second
floor Of the building, which, with the
gallery, was capable of accommodating
600 to 200. The fire was a trifing one,
and was extinguished before the fire.
men arrived. The smell of smoke add
ed to the panic, and despite the heroic
work of Rev. E. w. Johnson, the pastor
Of the church, who tried in vain to al
lay the fears Of the frightened worship
pers, the terror-stricken people made
a desperate rush to leave the church,
only to be choked up on the narrow
stairway. Those in the rear leaped
over the PROSTATE forms of those who
fell, and when the rush was over 10 lay
dead on the first floor and stairs Of the
building. Death in nearly every case
was due to suffocation or trampling.
The terrific crush on the stairs lead
ing from the gallery became to great
that the baluster, which was only a
frail, wooden affair, gave way. There
was a terrific crush as half a hundred
persons were precipitated to the floor
below.

THE SITUATION IN RUSSIA.

Two more naval battalions have been
dispatched to the Baltic provinces to
crush the revolt in the Islands of the
coast regions.
The paciication of Esthonia and Lii
vonia is said to be progressing satisfac-
torily.
The revolutionists at Kieff, through a
daring exploit, obtained two wagon
loads Of munitions from the arsenal
and escaped with them.
Following the example Of their
brethren on the mainland the peasan-
try Of the tiniest islands in the Baltic
are instituting independent republics.
One, on the islet of Linnusitt, already
boasts its second president, the first
having been overthrown by a rival fac
ton.
Maj.-Gen. Lisovki, who was said to be
under sentence of death by the fighting
section of the social revolutionaries,
was killed at Penza, Russia. The as
sassin escaped.
A band of revolutionaries fell upon
three ~lieutenants of police at Riga, Lii
vonia, and killed them with revolvers.
Tit murderers all escaped.
