Unless a miracle happens Rich
eson never. wi1lleave that. cell I'm
til he leaves if to,walk to.the cleo
trio chair and expiate his cold
murder of the girl he had be-
trayed and whom he wanted to
get rid of that he might marry an
heiress.
The miracle is not very likely.
Gov. Foss has received the re-
ports of the five alienists who
examined Richeson. Yet he gave
the order for Richeson's removal
to the death cell. Executive Glenn
ency is not likely.
Richeson himself still hopes.
After breakfast today he asked
the time of the meeting of the
Governors council.
He was answered by a negative
shake of the head. Guards are not
allowed to speak to men con-
demned to death.
The order Of the court was that
Richeson be electrocuted within
the week beginning Sunday, May
19s
Under that order Warden
Bridges of the penitentiary1 can
allow Richeson to live until a
week from Saturday.
But if there is no executive or
der to the contrary, Bridges is not
likely to do so. Probably he will
follow the usual course and order
the execution to take place at
midnight next Sunday.

WITHOUT THE KID
New Yor, May 15.-Harry K.
Thaw's family heard today on ex--i Z
cellent authority and without a 81
darned bit of pleasure that
Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw was in the !
city.
The "now-you-see-it-now-you- !
don't baby is not with Mrs.
Thaw. Her trip to New York is Z
purely a business one, the bust
ness being that of separating the
Thaw family from few realdol- /
lars.
That part of her trip is, quite 0
open, even if there is some mys-
terry about Anthony" Evelyn :
intends to get her allowance of :
$1,000 a year. If she inagines
she is not going to, get it, she is
quite willing to appear against (
her husband in his fight for free
dom from Mattewan, asylum. -
Mrs. Thaw is glad that the
story. of her baby has been made
public. Just why she is glad, no
one seems to know. But she
says that. it makes it easier for
her to appear in public, and that :
she is much relieved now it is

By Fire Which Did 100000

A LUMBER co. BURNED OUT
Fire Departments of Both Att'eboro and
Pawtucket Were Engaged and They
Succeeded in Saving Three Cot
tages Which Were Near BY.

Atleboro, Mass, Feb. pa loss by
fire, which is estimated at 100000, was
caused by a blaze that broke out in the
lumber yard Of c. A. Pullen & Co., -neal
the Pawtucket line, this morning. Two
big sheds with their contents were de-.
stroyed, and two freight ears were also
burned, while seasoned lumber of ali
varieties burned like dried grass, the
flames lighting up the. sky for miles
around.
The fire departments of both Attleboro
and Pawtueket were called to feht the
confiagration, and they succeeded in say-
ing three cottages which were located
near the lumber yard. The cause OF
the fire is not known definitely, but one
OF the theories is that sparkle from n
passing locomotive fell upon some driei
lumber.

Drinks Before Settling Damage Case.

In the case of Henry Emerson against

pany at Montpelier Henry Emerson,
the plaintiff, took the stand yesterday

No Settlement Reached in Great
Britain'S Trouble
CABINET EFFORTS FAILED
Legislation May Be Hurried Through to
Compel Resumption of Work-Rall-
way Employees Won't Handle
- Non-union Goods.

London, Feb. 20.-Upwards of 100000
coal miners had laid down their tools
and gone on a strike by 2 o'clock this
afternoon, when the day shift in the
mines ended. The army of striking col
lers was swelled hourly throughout the
morning when it became known that
no settlement had been reached.
The cabinet to-day completed arrange
ments to hurry legislation which may
prove necessary in order to compel the
resumption of work, A number Of meet
ings of railroad employees to-day passed
resolutions pledging themselves to alb
stain from handling troop trains and coal
products by non unionists.
The premier and his colleagues in tho
cabinet, officials of the board of trade
and other persons having influence With
the coal owners and miners made siren
uous attempts this morning to avert the
disaster. After working for week. the
government last night in an Official com
munication admitted its failure to stave
off the strike.
The deadlock is graver than antieipat-
ed 1t had been supposed that the great
est hostility would arise from the Welsh
mine owners, and public opinion was
veering in favor of the miners, who, it
was thought. would be satisfied with the
concession of the principle of a minimum
wage, leaving the adjustment of he le-
tails to subsequent arbitration or ncgo-
tiation 1t is now seen that the miners
themselves are placing the greatest OBJ
stable in the way OF peaceful solution
by insisting upon their own interpreta
tion of the terms of the minimum wage,
1t is this aspect of the situation which
renders the outlook most hopeless. AZ
the same time, it is felt that the govern
ments efforts have not been wasted. The
government has secured the assent of 80
per cent. of the mine owners OF the eoun-
try to the principle OF a minimum wage.
thus greatly facilitating its task should
it be deemed advisable to resort to leg-
islatiye enforcement of the minimunl
wage.
