SEVEN PERISH IN FLAMES.
Had Not Even Fighting Chance for
Their Lives.

Seven lives were lost early Satur-
day in a fire which destroyed a three
story lodging house in foreign sec
ton of Jamaica, l.. I. The blaze
started in a hallway, the only exit
and spread so rapidly that few OF
the inmates had an opportunity TO
escape.
The lodging house was occupied
for the most part by poor workmen
employed in the neighborhood. The
owner, George Dunbeck, occupied
apartments with his family Oh the
ground floor. He and his household
escaping safely in their night clothes
by climbing through the windows to
the street.
The dead, five men and two wo-
men, were all foreigners. They were
asleep at the time and were all suf-
located by smoke as they lay in
their beds. The blaze was small
one and single company of firem I'll
with one line of hose eXtinguished
it within a few minutes of their ar
rival. The property loss was not
over S1,500.

TURN THEM OUT.
Bryan Says Lorimer Democrats Must
Be Retired.

In a statement published in his
paper Friday, in reference to the
meeting held recently in Lincoln, IL
iinols, to protest against legislative
corruption, William J. Bryan declar-
ed that the Democratic legislators,
who voted to elect William Lorimer
to the United States Senate should he
read out of the Democratic party.
"Any Democrat who voted FOR
Lorlmer for patriotic reasons ought
to be retired to private life ana
kept there long enough to learn what
patriotism MEANS" said Mr.. Bryan.
1T is almost as dangerous to nave
a fool in the Legislature as knaVe.
"A Democratic legislator, who
could be convinced that he was per-
forming a patriotic duty in voting
for Lori:ner, could be persuaded 10
do anything desired by a lobby, pro-
yided the same patriotic arguments
were used. He is not fit for any re-
sponsible position; it is hardly safe
to allow him to run at large.
"Turn them out. The party can
not pause to defend those who are
guilty, or who, if innocent, have
aroused suspicion which can never
be removed"

WATCHMAN KILLED.
Was Late in Coming to Work and
Quarrel Resulted.

Late Thursday afternoon, at about
7.30 o'clock, H. F. Hawkins shot and
almost instantly killed L. l.. Mac
Lenore, at the Mills Mill or the out
skirts of Greenville, S. c. There
were three shots fired, two by the
dead man and one by Hawkins. HaW-
kins went at once to Greenville and
surrendered. It is said that the kill
ing resulted from a disputue be-
tween the two men on the late ar
rival at the mill Of MacLemore, who
is night watchman, and who is said
to have been drinking. Hawkins had
been sent duty because of the de-
ceased's tardiness, and was acting in
MacLemore's place when the shoot
ing occurred.

Three Brothers Kill Young Man Ov-

Three young brothers named Alex
ander, after having slain the son Of
a neighbor in the course of picnic
near Kenton, Tenn, held the pur-
suing crowd at hay until they made
their escape, but were afterwards
captured by deputy sherics and plac-
ed in Jail at Kenton, where they were
threatened with lynching by infur-
lated neigh bors Sunday night. The
affair grew out of a crap game. Rob-
ert Simmons, Jr., having won all
the money. mounted his horse to
ride away, when one of the AleXan-
ders. it is said. seized the bride,
another stabbed Simmons, and when
he fell to the earth the third Alex
ander rushed up and beat him with
a club. The picnickers rushed to
the resuce, but the three Alexanders
drew revolvers and got away for the
time. Fear of lynching has abated.

CROP SUFFERS FROM HEAT.
Cotton Has Not Made Much Progress
During Week:

The following cotton crop sum-
mary was published by the CONNER
cial Appear of Memphis, Tenn, on
Monday:
photographic replies from Texas
correspondents at six o'clock Sum
day night indicated that no rain Of
consequence fell in that Sttae dur
ing the week save in the Red RIVER
valley. AS result the cotton crop.
except a small area which has re-
ceived rain, has been deteriorating in
most Instances as the limits Of the
plants endurance had been reached
a week previously.
In southern and western Texas any
additional drought means very
small yield Of cotton. Generous rains
fell throughout Oklahoma and al
though cotton suffered severely for a
few days just prior to the rain Oh
account Of high temperatures. the
situation has been relieved and it is
believed that the crop will very
quickly recuperate.
In other sections of the belt some
improvement took place. The crop
has been laid by clean and the plant
has begun to form squares and
has begun to bloom freely and form
squares. Grown bolls are not num-
erous, however, and the crop appears
to have regained only little Of its
lateness. The frost date will have
an important bearing on the out
turn.
Except in Texas there is no COM
plant of shedding but the plant gen.
orally has not reached the stage
where it is to be expected. Generally
fair weather would help the crop in
Mississippi and the Atlantic States.

spite of Mr.. Watson's announced
fear of assassination the dove Of
peace lowered over the little town
throughout the day and prospects OF
trouble dwindled to nothing.
Both speakers were bitterly per-
sonal in their remarks. Mr.. Hard
wick injected the only new feature
in the controversy in the shape Of a
letter from Congressman Charles H.

the leaders Of his, the Patterson fac

changing his forecast made several
days ago, of a majority of 10000

East Tennessee, the Republican
stronghold in Tennessee, proved the
Waterloo Of the regular Democratic
ticket. Advices from that section are
that the Republicans stood almost to
a man behind the Independents.
Carter County, a rock ribbed Re
publican county, and the former
home of Senator Robert L. Taylor,
rolled up majority of two thousand
for the Independents.
According to advices from West
Tennessee, that division will show
a good majority for the Independents
The race in Middle Tennessee Is
close, in favor of the independents.

man Robertson, Of the regular DEM
ocratic committee, gave a majority
for the Independents Of 475;' while
Chairman Vertrees, of the independ-
ents. lost this, his county, by large
majority.

overwhelming defeat Of the regular
judiciary ticket throughout the State
has blasted the hopes of Governor
Patterson for reelection and some
go so far as to predict that he. will
withdraw from the race for Govern

who was in charge Of train No. 63,
seeing that the man would be CRUSH
ed to death by the fast approaching
train, made rush for him and snat-
ched him from the track just In time
to save his life. Had it not been for
the brave act of Conductor Williams
the unfortunate man would have met
his death. Many Of the passengers
had turned and looked away when
the conductor made dash for the
man.
