as she fell and suffered a broken arm.
Mrs. Ida Mcfarland, who was sleep
ing in room with two other women
in the lodging house, awoke to find
her companions hysterical and unable
to move. She dragged them to win
dow ledge and held them until the
firemen arrived with ladders. John
Boeltinger and another man whose
name is not known, who were sleeping
in the lodging house, are believed to
have perished.

Tallahassee, May 2s.-By a margin
of one vote the house this afternoon
failed to pass the Angle convict lease
abolition bill over Governor Gfichrist's
veto. Representatives Robinson of Or
ange and Matthews of Bradford, who
heretofore supported the measure dur
ing its stormy Career in the house, re-
treated from their position, while on
the other hand Speaker Jennings, who
previously opposed the measure, voted
today to pass it over the executives
veto.
When the Pensacola charter bin
came UP for reconsideration in the
house the Jennings amendments were
adhered to. The only thing Senator
Stokes can now do is to call for a con-
ference committee from the house and
senate and if this committee disagree,
as is very likely, the senate win either
have to adopt the bill with the Jen-
nings amendment or Pensacola will be
without a charter amendments. Mr..
Jennings seems confident that the
senate will have come to his way Of
thinking.
ATTORNEY JONES PRESENT.
Mr.. John 3. Jones, city attorney of
Pensacola, is in town today trying to
effect a reconciliation between Senator
Stokes and Mr.. Jennings, but up to
date his efforts have been Intellectual
that his course is approved by the
people who eletced him and ia willing
| to submit for publication the tele-
grams and letters that he has received
endorsing his position. On the other
hand Mr.. Jennings has not yet made
known his Willingness to follow suit.
Representative Harper, of Escam-
bia, who voted for the bill without
question when it first came before the
house. today made known his determi-
nation to stand by Speaker Jennings.
The fac% that Mr.. Jennings happens
to be speaker of the house, while
Seantor Stokes is president pro- TEN
of the senate, makes this fight of state
wide interest.
Mr.. Wall, of Bradford. who gained
much notoriety a few weeks ago in the
alleged bribery case, this morning
| learned that the ice factory owned and
| operated by his two sons had burn
ed last night, SO he asked permission
to be excused for the remainder of
the session, which requested was
granted. The old man was rendered
an ovation as he made ready to leave
the house, the members crowding
around him and expressing their sor-
row at his misfortune and wishes for
future good luck. He was somewhat
affected, the tears running down his
weather-b beaten old cheeks 1t is rath-
er peculiar coincidence that the
home of Mr. Matthews, Representative
Walrs colleague and neighbor, was
also burned about three weeks previ-
Gus.
RECONSIDER VESTS BILL.
BY a vote of 16 to 13 the senate
decided to reconsider Vests amend

RECORD SHIPMENT OF
BULLION FROM G0LDFIELD

The Goldncld Tribune says that all
former bullion shipment records from the
Consolidated mill were broken Saturday
afternoon, whom twenty -four bars Of bull
Hon valued nj S525. 900, were turned over
10 tho Wclls-Farso Express company for
conveyance 10 tho Sclby Smelling COM
rany at san Francisco The total weight
OF tho consignment was 2l27 pounds. The
bullion left Goldilcld under heavy guard
sunday morning. The express charge
was $1G03.50.
This shipment represents tho final
cleanup for the month OF March, and
Is undoubtedly the largest single ship
mont OF bullion ever made by any mining
company. The next largest made by the
consolidated company was sent out
March "a. and valued at 1897 900.
Since tho new refinery was put into
commission, the bullion is turned out at
about 300 fine, so that a comparatively
small weight contains n very large
amount of wealth The new refinery Is
practically Il small blast furnace smelter
