Student Lost His LIE In Fire.

From the ruins of the Alpha Tau
Omega fraternity house, at Cornell
university, which burned Friday, was
taken the charred body OF ]. s. Kiehle,
junior in mechanical engineering.
That any lives had been lost in the
fire was not known until meeting OF
the fraternity was held at 5 p. m,
when a roll call showed that Kiehle
was missing. The ruins were prompt
ly searched and his corpse was found
near the elevator shaft where the fire
originated.
It is supposed that Kiehle was on
his way to the upper floor to save
"Ted" Seelye of the Cornell cross
country team. who was known to be
an occupant of room there. Seelye,
scantily clad, escaped through Sec
ond story window to a balcony porch
and down a ladder.
Klehle was from Minneapolis, and
was one of the squad tried out for
the football team last fall.
The loss is $4,000.

NEW TOWN At SOUTH FORK.
Near Lake Which Caused the Johns.
town Disaster 10 Years Ago.

Johnstown, Pa. Feb. 4.-The South
Fork Take" site of the dam whose
demolition by the pent-up waters
wrought one of the worlds great dis
asters in Johnstown nineteen years
ago, is now the scene of the building
Of 9 new town.
'Phe Maryland Coal company eigh-
teen months ago purchased for over
half q million dollars the coal owned
by the james ]. Fronheiser estate OF
this city. Pittsburg interest in the
large transfer is represented in the
fact that ]. A. Fronheiser, whose
wife was Miss Haymaker, daughter
of Judge John c. Haymaker, is one OF
the two heirs of the Fronheiser es-
tate.
For year the Maryland people
have been working on the shaft to
tap the Fronheiser coal, and while
the mining engineers have hustled
carpenters and stonemasons and arch
tects have also been busy. st.
Michaels is the name selected for the
new town which is going up around
the mining operations, and 1t promises
in time to be lively rival of South
Fork.
One feature OF the transformation
Is the reopening of the clubhouse OF
the famous South Fork Hunting and
Fishing club, which John L. Sechler
of this city has occupied while direct
ing the real estate developments in
connection with the building Of st.
Michaels. Mr.. Sechler has found
number of interesting documents and
relics OF the old club, most of them
records OF the club steward.
1t will be seven or eight months
before the Maryland's shaft is COM
pleted. The engineers are looking for
natural drainage and it is expected
the shaft will be 700 feet deep. The
coal Is the finest in the basin and is
assured of a ready market from the
first.

BOY KING IN PORTUGAL
King Carlos and Crown Prince
Assassinated.
Capitol Graft Trial-Harry Thaw at
Student Lost His Life
In Fire-Governor Hughes New
York's Candldate-secretary Taft's
Recommendation.

A boy king, who henceforth will be
known as Manuel H., is today the
ruler of the kingdom of Portugal, and
the revolution into which the instiga-
tors of the bloody events had hoped
to plunge the country has not yet in
the least engulfed the nation.
All Portugal is overwhelmed at the
killing Of the king and the crown
prince. Though torn by dissenslons
the past few months, terrorized by
crime and bloodshed, uprisings in
the streets, outrages with knife and
bomb, and always fearful lest these
signs of revolution would culminate
in some dreadful outburst of passion,
Portugal was not prepared for the
blow that fell Saturday when King
Carlos and Prince Luiz Philippe were
shot to death in public place, where
thousands had gathered to greet their
home coming.
Early Sunday morning Premier
Franco proclaimed the accession of
Prince Manuel to the throne; the ma
val and military chiefs and high dig
nitaries of state swore allegiance to
the new king and Portugal still lived
under monarchy.
No more beautiful day could be
imagined than that which hereafter
will make the date on which King
Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz met
their death at the hands of assassins.
Returning from sojourn at the
kings estate at Villa Vicosa, accom-
panied by the queen, the crown prince
and the Infant Manuel the sovereign
seemingly was in happy mood when
he stepped into the carriage in wait
ing at the railroad station.
The assassins, numbering six in all,
boldly ran up to the sides OF the car
riage and poured in a hail of lead be-
fore the stupefied escort could inter
vene. The king and crown prince,
half rising. fell back into the cush-
ions, the blood gushing from many
wounds.
The coachman brought his whip
across the flanks OF his horses and
with bound they dashed away, dis
appearing into the Arsenal quad
rangle. The panic stricken people,
who had fed on all sides, could see
the queen leaning over the crown
prince and her younger son, who also
was bleeding from wounds.
Only mounted police accompanied
the carriage as the king had refused
military escort. The attack came
from the rear, for it was found an n
wards that the king had been shot IN
the back of the neck, and it was so
entirely unexpected that the MUIR
derers had emptied their carbines
and revolvers almost before the po-
lice, knew what was going on, and
had turned to flee into the crowds
that, now panic-stricken. had pressed
back before their weapons. Then the
guard charged upon them,' pursuing
them down the streets and riddling
three of them with bullets. Hun
dreds of the people joined in the pur-
suit and the others of the bapd Of as
sassins we're made prisoners.
