played for twenty years in the United
States During the past two years he
had been In Greta Britain presenting al
music halls a spectacular turn" which
introduced horse and dog. An attempt
to rescue these two pets cost the per-
former his life.
Lafayette had escaped in the first panic
when the stage was a mass Of flames.
All the performers and stage hands were
rushing out of the place when he was
seen to re-enter the stage door, saying as
he did so:
IT am going to try to get my horse
and dog"
When the ruins were examined today
the actors charred body was found be-
side the body Of his horse. and heavy
burnt timber lay across both man and

In a moment the stage was filled with

lowered and the audience, which at first
thought the burst of fire was a part Of
the spectacle escaped with little panic.
Those behind the scenes. having secur-
ed the safety of the auditors. made a
mad rush for the exits. When the flre
was at it's height the iron curtain fell In
upon the stage.

Two Bodies. Identified.
The bodies of the two musicians killed

capped from the rear exits o trained lion

ANNIVERSARY OF BATTLE
OF Puebla of Which He Was the
Hero, and Which in Fact Made
Him President of MexicO-In-
surrecto Leaders Are Spiritualists
and, as They Have to Wait Until
the Dead Talk, Negotiations Are
Somewhat Delayed.

Ell Paso, Tex, May 2.-Judge
Carbajal, the peace enjoy Of Presl-
dent Diaz, has been delayed in arriv-
ing here because Of insurgent activi-
ty near Laredo and Gomez Palacio.
He may not reach FL Paso for sew
eral days.
Despite this delay in opening the
peace negotiations, Madero seems to
have no uneasiness, and, though reb-
ell activity is increasing daily in So
nora, Coahuila and Chihuahua states,
the rebel chief apparently believes
he can control the bands of insur-
rectos in case he desires to stop their
raids. Many others here, however,
fear that If o. Diaz-Madero agree
ment is not soon reached the situa-
tion will be beyond the grasp of the
provisional president, and that inter-
vention will be the final result of the
rebellion.
Abram Gonzales, the provisional
governor of Chihuahua, says the in
surgents, as a preliminary to peace,
will insist upon an agreement for the
partition Of the large estates of the
country, especially the estate Of Gov
ernor Terraces, in Chihuahua, COM
plete autonomy OF all the states, a
fair election and representation in
congress.
1t is believed here that President
Diaz has seen the Handwriting on the
wall, and that he will soon retire
from office. This may possibly come
May 5, the anniversary Of the bat
tie of Puebla, of which he was the
hero. Diaz makes a pilgrimage to
Puebla annually, and 1t Is believed
that this year he may seize the OPP
portunity to retire as a national
figure.
There is great interest here and
in Jaurez today in the appearance in
Madero's camp of Ignacio Fernandez,
a high officer Of the second congress
OF spiritualists.
Both Madero and Minister De La
barra are strong spiritualists, and It
is quite possible that the belief in
the occult rhenomena and the per-
sistence Of the intclllgences of the
dead may play a prominent part In
the peace negotiations.

that talked freely.
Labor" he said, lis not on trial,
only as the National Erector's Asso-

course, when that is done labor will

With a majority of one vote, the
final balloting standing eight to six,
the city council last evening voted
to purchase the water plant of the
Salem Water company, voted to ac-
quire system of pure water for
which there has been unceaslng, in
sistent, crying demand by the pro-
gressive element for years, and
henceforth the city is destined to win
as enviable reputation abroad for
the purity Of its water as it has had
an unenviable one in the past for its
impurity; and that means more peo-
ple-more homes, more business and
business institutions and greater
and better Salem.
How the Vote Stood.
The ordinance which had for its
object the purchase of the plant had
passed its first and second reading
and came up for it's third at the end
of the evenings business of the
council. Councilman Durbin who
has opposed the requirement of the
plant ever since he was elected a
member of the council, spoke against
it. Councilman Huckestein, who has
always allied himself with the pro-
gressive element and who has always
been staunch advocate for pure
water for the city made an able re-
ply, and then the previous question
was moved and the vote taken.
Councilmen Elliott, Hatch, Huck-
estein, Low, Manning, Sauter, War
ing and White voted for the ordi-
nance and Councilmen Durbin, FL
bridge, Lafky, Moffitt and Pennybak-
