DIB) IN FIRE. Eight Lives are Lost in a Blazing hotel. AT MINNEAPOLIS. The Captain of a Hook and Ladder Company was Killed While Sav ing a Woman's Life. Minneapolis, Jan. 11.—Eight per sons dead of suffocation or Injuries sustained in leaping from a "fire proof" hotel building, a score of per sons injured and a building damaged $25,000 by fire, smoke and water, is an epitome of the rapid ravages caused by a disaster which befell the West hotel yesterday, throwing 700 guests and employes into a panic. The dead: Fire Captain John Berwin, fell from the fourth floor to the sidewalk while attempting to save a woman's life. \Y. G. Nickels, Minneapolis, suffo cated in his room on sixth floor. Thomas Summerville, Springfield, Mass., salesman for Atkins & Co., Burnside, Conn., suffocated in his room on the sixth floor. J. E. Wolf, northwestern agent for Sperry & Alexander Co., of New York, suffocated in his room on seventh lloor. Clinton B. Lamme, New York, trav eling man, suffocated in his room on seventh floor. J. B. Peisinger, New York, traveling man, jumped from the seventh story. Mrs. M. li. Hodges, Minneapolis, Jumped from seventh story. William Black, New York, suffocat ed in room. The fire was confined to the eleva tor shaft and the two top floors in one •corner of the building, but a dense smoke pervaded everywhere and the wild excitement which followed the first alarm hurried people into halls and out on window ledges in a frantic attempt to save themselves. There was so much choking smoke that guests, the moment a door was opened, were compelled to crawl to the windows to avoid suffocation. 'Many were hurt by breaking windows with hands or feet. Many persons ■were not dressed when the fire start ed, shortly after 7 o'clock. The crowd that gathered saw the high windows at the corner of the hotel occupied by men an t women with bleeding hands and feet, some dressed in negligee. Frantic cries of "don't jump" from the spectators prevented most of these persons from leaping to the pavement to escape the smoke that poured from the broken windows. The smoke spread to most all parte of the hotel, causing many persons to lose their way in the confusion. Five persons verc found suffocated in their rooms after the fire was out. ('apt. John Berwin, of a hook and ladder company, having broken open a window on the seventh floor which he had reached by means of a scaling ladder, stumbled onto the body of Mrs. Eraeline Barlow, an aged woman. He strapped the unconscious form to his back and started down the ladder. When midway between the seventh and sixth floors the strap broke. Bending over to balance the body for -a moment, he leaned, at the risk of his life, and threw the woman toward a projecting ledge on the floor below. Apparently being revived by the fresh air or by the shock, the aged woman grasped the projection and held on. Later she was rescued. But in throw ing the woman to safety Berwin lost his balance and fell to the pavement. ANSWERED DEATH'S CALL. President Harpar, of Chicago Univer sity, Has Passed Away.

A Noted Criminal Asks a Federal Court to Release Him from Prison. Boston, Jan. 12. —Taking advantage of a legal technicality, William C. Woodward, known to the police of many countries as "Big Hawley," and one of the world's most notorious criminals, on Thursday, through coun sel, filed in the United States district court a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Woodward has been an in mate of the Massachusetts state prison at Charlestown for four years and a half and now seeks to be freed. When Woodward was sentenced ho had been convicted on four out of ten indictments charging use of the mails in a scheme to defraud. On three of the indictments he was given sen tences of 18 months each and on the' fourth a sentence of six months. Hav ing served the three 18 months' sen tences, he now petitions for his re lease on the ground that a sentence of six months cannot be served in the prison at Charlestown, as the law provides that the minimum sen tence on which a convicted man can be sent to the state prison is one year. The petition for the writ is return able on Saturday next. Woodward has been arrested "7 times. He is 42 years old and is said to have made more than $1,000,000 through questionable means. He is a native of Memphis, Tenn., and is the j son of a former justice of the state su- j preme court. Early in 1597 he was re leased from Sing Sing after serving a ! sentence of five years for swindling a j New York capitalist out of SIOO,OOO. THOSE BOGUS CERTIFICATES. Another Arrest Is Made in the Nor folk & Western Affair. New York, Jan. 12. —Following tho j arrest yesterday of Samuel Humph- j reys, a "newspaper writer," on a j charge of selling a bogus certificate of ; 100 shares of the Norfolk & Western I Railway Co to a dealer in securities in J this city, it was learned that 500 of j the bogus certificates were printed and that the operations appear to have been planned on a large scale. As i only four or five of tho certificates | have been discovered, and each of them is for 100 shares, _with an aggre gate market value of about SB,OOO, it Is evident that, the amount realized by the operators is very large if they | have disposed of many of the certifi- I cates. I Counsel for tho Hamilton Bank j ; Note Co. made a statement that in August last that company lithograph- ( ed 500 stock certificates of the Norfolk j & Western and delivered them to C. 1 Augustus Seton & Co., of this city. Later, counsel said, the bank note, company ascertained that the order for the certificates was given by Seton . and that he had presented an order authorizing him to have tho certifi cates made for the railway company.. The statement also affirmed that tho officers of the bank note company as sisted the railway company in bilng ing the guilty parties to justice. A Slaughter at Tif'is.

Columbus, 0., Jan. 13.—1t is an nounced on apparently good authority that a proposition is pending to re organize the entire state railroad de partment.

This means that State Rail road Commissioner Morris will be succeeded by three commissioners. Withdrew His Plea. Washington, Jan. 13. —In tho crimi nal court Friday George W.

M. FALLIERES THE FAVORITE President of Senate May Be Elected to Succeed Loubet as Presi dent of Prance. Paris.—Everybody knows that when I the senate and deputies meet to elect a new presideat of the republic for seven years, M. Loubet will not be a candidate. He is tired of office. Is growing old —he was 67 on December 31 last —and is determined to spend the rest of his days in unofficial peace. Who, then, will be elected? M. Fallieres, the president of the ienate, may be looked upon as first fa vorite, partly by reason of his office, and partly because he is known to ba : j M. KALLERIES. | (President of Krench Senate Who May ! Succeed Loubet.) j sound; known, too, not to be too ara | bitious, and because he is distinct ; tively decorative. M. Fallieres' elec ■ tion—and this is a great point in his ! favor—would not be too displeasing i to the reactionary party. lie is a i large land owner and fond of enter j taining members of the older nobility j of France. Mine. Fallieres is also very popular, ami the wife of a new presi | dent is not unnaturally of the first i importance. Next in favor to M. Fallieres comes ; M. Leon Bourgeios. He has been pres | ident of the chamber of deputies, pre mier, and was a member of M. Loubet's ; cabinet in ISW. M. Bourgeois Is 54, and for a man who is comparatively j young his years of office of one kind I or another make a surprising total. | Th 3 main thing against M. Leon Bour | geois' chances of success is that he ]is a widower. But it has been ru mored that he intends marrying again. M. Doumer, the president of 1119 chamber and former governor of Indo ! China, ranks third in the list of prob able presidents. He has been minis ter of finance and minister of the in terior, and has a charming personality. , But he is perhaps too active and push ing a man for the position, and his political opinions—lie is a radical re publican—are rather too clearly defined for those of a would-be president, who must, above all things, be politically : neutral. In the outsiders' class. M. L rteaux has lo:-t ground by his sensational ros -1 ignation from his post at the war of- | 1 flee. He is a genial nan a:;! a rich i one, and is very popular among his ■ fellow deputies, but the senators aid said to distrust him. M. Paul Deschanel had a very strong chance indeed in 1599. Now he has !no chance whatever. He lias simply I dropped out of the running and no body, not even M. Deschanel himself, : knows exactly why this has happened. M. Combes' chances are extremely poor. Lastly, one must not overlook M. Jean Dupuy, whose influence as the proprietor of "Le Petit Parisien" is widespread, and who is Known to have been canvassing. PORTRAIT OF HANDEL.
