In the fall of 1887 he erected the present planing mill at Centre Hall, and furnished 1t with »ll the atest improved machinery necessary fur the business, and with his three sons with him for over twen- ty-one years—which speaks well for family ties, have operated the mill ever since.

Mexico City, Feb. 16.—Between 250 and 300 people were burned to death and many were injured in a fire which destroyed the Flores theater in the city of Acapulco Sunday night. The news of the disaster just reached this capi- tal, telegraphic communication with Acapulco having been destroyed owing 10 the fact that the telegraph office ad- joining the theater was burned and all wires put out of commission. The Flores theater was a wooden structue, and over 1000 people crowd- ed into it to witness a special perform- ance given in honor of Governor Da- mian Flores, of the state of Guerro. One of the numbers of the program consisted of a series of moving pic- tures. While the operator was exhib- iting these a film caught fire, and the blaze was quickly communicated to some bunting which had been used for decorative purposes. In an incredi- bly short time the flames had spread to all parts of the structure. There were three narrow exits, and the panic stricken audience rushed to them, many falling, to be crushed to death, their bodies choking the way of escape to others. The screams of those imprisoned were terrifying. Owing to the rapidity with which the fire spread and its in- tense heat it was impossible to at- tempt rescue work, and those impris- oned were lilterally roasted alive, as the fire burned with little smoke and few were suffocated. The efforts of the fire department were confined to attempting to save the adjoining buildings, and they succeeded. The telegraph office, postoffice and custom house were damaged, but all of the government records and registered mail was saved. Pitiful scenes of grief are being en- acted on the streets of the little west coast port. Men, women and children are wandering from place to place in their search for relatives or friends. Many of the dead are from the first families of the state, the affair at the theater being a social event of consid- erable importance and calling out the wealthiest and oldest families for miles around. In some instances entire fam- ilies were wiped out of existence. The municipal authorities caused large trenches to be dug, and into these the remains of the dead were laid. Gifts to Employes. The late Eva Smith Cochran, in her will, which was recently filed for probate at Yonkers, N. Y., left $1000 to every employe of the Smith Carpet company who has been in the com- pany’'s employ twenty years or more. The number of such employes is said to be over 250. Mrs. Cochran, who was one of the owners of the carpet works, left an estate valued at about $8,000,000. Jackson's Tree Blown Down. An historic silver-leaf maple tree in the White House grounds at Wash- ington, which, tradition says, was pianted by Andrew Jackson during the strenucus days of his administra- tion, and which stood within fifteen feet of the oak planted in 1898 by President McKinley, was blown down by a heavy windstorm. The tree, hol- low for some years, was the home of a pair of gray squirrels, Three Men Burned In Their Bunks. The Norfolk & Portsmouth Traction Co.'s ferryboat, running between Wil | loughby Spit and Old Point Comfort, Va., was burned to the water's edge at her Willoughby pier. Three of her crew were burned to death in their bunks. The pier also was destroyed. The cause of the fire is unknown. Many people enroute to Old Point were caught at the end of the spit with no way to cross Hampton Roads. Weighed Twenty Ounces at Birth—To Be Named William Taft. Paducah, Ky., Feb. 16.—What is per- haps the tiniest mite of humanity in the world is to be christened William Taft. The little chap is two weeks old, the son of Mr. and Mrs. BE. P. Lady, of this city. At birth the child was 12 inches long and weighed 20 ounces, but was per- fectly formed and developed. The face could be covered with a watch crystal. The hands were an inch long and the feet an inch and a half. Its first dress was supplied from the wardrobe of the doll of a girl neighbor. Several Fined $100 and Costs; Sixty: nine Others Awaiting Trial. Pittsburg, Feb. 16.—Several fines of $100 and costs were imposed by Judge J. Q.

J., Feb. 16.—A balloon- shaped cloud, the color of yellow ocher, swooped down on the farm of Dr. Whitehead and, picking up a chickenhouse sixty feet long, carried it fifty-nine feet into a field where it was set down without damaging it whatever. ee ee ——————— — A Great Wall of ice Runs From Goat Island to American Mainland—The Gorge Below the Falls Is Choked and the Whirlpool Is Barely In Motion. Only a tiny rivulet, not deep nor swift enough to carry a pulp log over the brink is flowing over the American side of Niagara Falls. A strong north- east wind, which has blown since Fri- day, has held back the water and al lowed the ice to gain a foothold. Two employes of the American reservation walked from Prospect point nearly to Bath island. They desisted from com- pleting the trip merely because they did not care to get their feet wet, a stream at one point being a few inches above the tops of their boots. A great wall of ice runs from the head of Goat island to the American mainland, through which only tiny streams are able to trickle. This wall has even eucroached on the Canadian channel, extending out some 200 feet beyond the third Sister island and greatly diminishing the flow over the Horseshoe. Only the very apex of the Canadian fail is left and that is robbed of half its flow. The gorge below is choked and the rapids have lost their fury, while the whirlpool is barely ia motion. This is only the third time that this combination of wind and ice has thus affected the falls since the white man came here. The other occasions were on March 29, 1848, and March 22, 1903, Importance of Tariff Board. Alva B. Johnson, of the Baldwin Locomotive works in Philadelphia, says that the convention to be called at Indianapolis on Feb. 16, 17 and 18, to endeavor to bring about the ap pointment by congress of a tariff commission, is a most important movement, but that unfortunately it has not rcceived the attention from manufacturers which it deserves. He said: “Hitherto tariff schedules have been imposed upon the basis of statements made by manufacturers and the influ ence exerted by them, irrespective of the actual needs of the industry to be protected. “When the tariff is under discus sion all business is disturbed until the agitation is over and the new tariff law is passed. Under the plan pro posed by the National Association of Manufacturers a permanent tariff com. mission of seven men will be contin ually engaged in conducting hearings | of all the industries affected by any | proposed te-iff change. As but a small | part of the whole industries of the country could at any time be affected business could never be disturbed by tariff revision as it is at present. The suggestion is sane and wise and should Pickpockets Sentenced to 14 Years. John Shevlin and Charles Rohrer, who were convicted in the Mercer county court in Trenton, N.

Smith, rged with the murder of BE. A. Laurent, at Artesia, Miss, several weeks ago, brought in a verdict of murder in the first degree. Smith, who is a millionalre planter alleged that Laurent had wronged hig daughter, who is known in many cities of the south. She danced at the in- auguration of Governor Vardaman, and at her father's home near Artesia she has entertained lavishly. the trial and absolutely denied her father's assertions that Laurent had wronged her, refusing to allow her name to be besmirched to save he: parent. Two Killed In Mine Fire. Two men are dead, three others are in a serious condition and twenty. two mules were killed as a result of a fire in the Black Diamond colliery of the Haddock Coal company, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa., that is still burn ing and has already done much dam- age to the mine. The fire started in the emergency hospital near the foot of the shaft and cut off the progress of the night shift men. All except five, however, got out. Rescuing parties came upon W. Hugh Fitzer, a mine boss; Walter McGuire, a fire boss, and John Markovitch, a timberman. They were lying face downward in a smoke-filled gangway and were unconscious.
