SCHOOL HOUSE FIRE
 BRINGS FORTH HEROES
MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL OF HAVERH1LL, MASS,
 DESTROYED.

An Instructor After Guiding Twelve
 Boys to Safety Through Wall of
 Fire Returns to Burning Building to
 See if All Have Escaped--Is Cut Off
 and is Compelled to Jump from Sec
 ond Story Window--Member of the
 Freshman Class Also Displays
 Bravery.
 Haverhill, Mass, March 19.-Heroess names will be written in Haverhilrs school history as a result of school house fire to-day in which the lives of over one hundred and fifty pupils were imperilled. One girl was injured by jumping, and several other students. as we'll as two teachers, were slightly burned in the rush from the quick spreading flames, but all the others es- capped in safety The fire destroyed the manual training school building, in which 1t started, and partly burned an annex structure known as the Whittier high school, an historic place in which the poet Whittier once taught.
 All the seven teachers in the two schoolhouses demonstrated remarkable coolness, but the heroism of two per- sons, Walter Bourne, an instructor in manual training, and Francis German. a -year-old member of the fresh- man class, was especially notable. Bourne guided twelve boys through a wall of fire and smoke which threaten. ed to imprison them in the training school, and then returned to assure himself that all had escaped. His re- treat was cut off and he was forced to jump from a second-story window. His face was scorched and his hair burned off.
 All the students in the annex escaped down the stairway, except seven girls. who rushed to balcony overlooking the street. One jumped, receiving slight injuries, and the others were removed on ladders.
 Smoke overcame Miss Sue Merrill, one of the teachers III the annex, when she returned to recover personal property. At the risk of his own life German dashed into the burning building, and after desperate effort succeeded in carrying the teacher into the open air. Both were burned about the head. The fire loss was $25, 1000.

FRENCH POSITION ABSOLUTE.
Probable Alignment of the Pawers on
 Another Vote.

Paris, March 19.- Officials here say that Frances position is absolute and final against placing Casa Blanca under international command. It is maintained that this is not question of detail but one that involves the en- tire Franco German controversary over nternationalization of the police. After exchanges at the various capitals, off cers declare, another vote will show that France is supported by Great Britain, Spain, Portugal and Russia, with Austria doubtful and Italy and the United States abstaining. Austria s doubt is due to Vienna's wavering in the support she has heretofore given to Germany. The current opinion in oftl- cial circles is that Germany intends to lrecede from her position.

 Rope Breaks and Victim Falls
 After Which His Body Is Riddled
 With BuI1ets--Peop1e fingered Be-
 cause Supreme Court Granted Stay of
 Execution Which Was to Have Been
 To-day.
 :, Chattanooga, Tenn, March 19.-Ed Johnson, colored, was taken from the jail tonight by a mob of seventy-five men and hanged to beam of the coun- ty bridge over the Tennessee river. The rope broke and the negro's body fell and the mob quickly riddled him with bullets. Sheriff shipp and the jailor were locked in bath room while the mob secured the prisoner
 The negro was to have been hanged tomorrow, but the United States su- preme court to-day granted a stay of execution and this action served to an- ger the citizens of the city. All day there was great excitement and 1t was freely declared on the street that vio- lence would result tonight.
 Early in the evening the mob began to form, and it was all done so quietly that only those in the immediate vicin- ity of the jail knew when they were ready for action. At 10:45 seventy-five determined men assembled at the jail and at once gained admission. Over- towering the sheriff and his deputies, they secured the prisoner and quietly led him to the bridge, where the hang ing was carried out without other dis order, the mob Immediately dispensing. The mob was composed of men of ma- ture years
 The negro is said to have confessed when first taken by the mob, but when the rope was placed about his neck he stoutly maintained his innocence. It is declared that the victim was dead of strangulation before the rope broke, but the mob, to make sure work, filled his body with bullets. The city was as quiet at the hour of the hanging and afterwards as though nothing unusual had occurred.

SHIP MARY BUCKLEY
 WRECKED OFF CRAWFORD
RUNS ON FLAT ROCK DURING 4 BLENDING SNOW
 STORM.

Captain and Crew Escape in YawI--
 Vessel Turns TUrtle-LOaded With
 Brick and Bound from GreenpOrt, l..
 l., for BridgepOrt-Built in 1883 at
 TOttenville, N. Y., and Owned by
 DOlan < Dunn of Haverstraw.
 Branford, March 1S.-The schooner Mary Buckley, loaded with brick and bound from Greenport, L. l., for Bridge port, was wrecked this afternoon by driving onto Flat Rock, nearly a quar- ter of a mile of Johnson's Point, during a binding snowstorm and a northeast gale.
 The schooner, driven by the fierce gale, ran high up on the rock and al- most immediately turned turtle. The captain and the crew had barely time to seize a few articles of clothing, the compass and one or two other articles of value and chamber into yawl and pull away before the vessel was keel up in the water. In the haste two dogs were left in the hold of the vessel. The captain is John Dunn, the mate Will liam Knapp and the members of the crew on board Daniel Brewer and a man known as French Tom" The other member of the crew, of the same name as the captain, John Dunn, but not related to him, was left at New London i'll.
 The schooner was feeling her way along in the blinding snowstorm and ran too close to the south shore, and, the captain losing his bearings, the schooner was driven on the rocks. As the vessel was thrown on the rock all of the cargo of brick which was piled on the deck went overheard and the re- mainder followed 1t, when few mo- ments later the schooner turned bot tomside up in the water.
 The sailors who had put off in the yawl landed at RockIand Park and were cared for at the house of Frank Reynolds. Later the men went to the Totoket house.
 The Mary Buckley was built in 1883 at Tottenville, N. r., and was owned by Dolan & Dunn, of Haverstraw, N. Y. Her gross tonnage was 124 and her net IT. Her length was 9S5 feet, breadth | @ c 2 E

 His Leadership of the Operators.
 Indianapolis March 19.-That there will be second joint conference of coal operators and miners of the cen tral competitive district, comprising Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and western Pennsylvania, was definitely determin- ed this afternoon, when the operators of the four states met in convention and adopted a resolution setting forth their willingness to meet the repre- sentatives of the United Mine Workers. Subsequent arrangements between J. H. Winder, chairman of the operators, and President Mitchell, of the mine workers, fixed the first session of the joint con- ference for tomorrow.
 Following the retirement of F, l. Robbins, president of the Pittsburg Coal company, as chairman of the op- orators, and the election of J. H. Win der, of Ohio, as his successor, a resolu- tion was adopted providing that the op- orators of the four states should elect their own spokesmen, and that there should be no official representatives of the four states collectively, either in joint convention or joint scale commit | tee.
 F, L. Robbins tonight refused to make a statement regarding his reasons for relinquishing the leadership of the operators. His successor, MT. Winder was equally reticent, and neither would discuss the attitude he will assume or the floor of the joint convention.
 The conference is of first importance Should an agreement be reached it is believed it would greatly aid in bring ing about a settlement between the an thracite miners and operators.
