HE WAS RAILROADED TO PITTSBURG Arrested by "Jack" Toole on Oath of "Jim" Smith, Who Renews the Vates Chargo "on Information Eeoelved" Great Indignation Arousea. Ono of tho dirtiest outrages ever per petuated against n citizen of tho United States was enacted in tills borough to-day by Ulio railroading Prof. C. 1). llogart, supcrin- tcnucni 01 tno puuuc bciioois 01 mo town, to Pittsburg ou tho charges of which the ac cused was only recently acquitted by tho School Hoard of tills place. A moro auto cratic act could not bo performed by the most despotic of governments. iU about 0:30 q clock this morning Superin tendent llogart was engaged in receiving parents and pupils in hisolllco in tho High school building when Detective "Jack" Toolo appeared and placed him under nrrest on a warrant Issued at Pittsburg and involv ing tho chargo of Clara Vates which tho School Hoard of this town fully investigated with tho result that it completely exonerated tho accused man. Suporiutendcnt llogart was not surprised at tho step, as rumors had been current for several woeks that tho conspirators would "tako him in nippers to Pittsburg," but ho was both astounded and indignant when ho learned that ho would not bo allowed to enter bail, or sufficient tlnio to inako proper nr. rangemcnts for his departure. Ho barely had timo to hurriedly closo his office and call at his homo to tako leave of his family. "Jack" Toolo was obdurate. Superintendent Hogart and n host of mends offered bail in any amount for tho former's nppearanco at Pittsburg at any time tho Grand Jury or court at that placo may require, and they had n written opinion from A. W. Schalck, Esq., tho Pottsvillo lawyer, btating without equivocation that ball could bo so furnished, but Toolo a ouly reply was On to Pittsburg. He said ho was "under instructions to accept no ball." Sir. llogart and Iks friends then tried to pcrsuado Toolo to delay tho departure, so that the arrival at Pittsburg would bo mudo in tho day time or early oveniug to-morrow, and not at mid night, but to this Toolo also refused to acccdo. Sir. Bogart ventured to say that it was evidently tho intention to land him in Pittsburg at midnight, to that ho could get no legal redress and would bo obliged to go to jail until to-morrow. This brought out a reply from Toolo that ho would treat him as a criminal if any insults were offered. No persuasion would prevail and Superintendent llogart was obliged to ltavo town witli Toolo on tho 11:03 Lehigh Valley train, less than two hours after tho arrest was made. The affair aroused great public indignation and business men and prominent citizens from all quarters of tho town were loud ill their condemnation of tho autocratic act Among them was Sir. Itusscll W. Stout, who volunteered bail, and finding it would not bo accepted, ho accompanied Superintendent llogart to Pittsburg. lioforo tho train left a Herald reporter requested permission to look at tho warrant, but Toolo declined to afford him tho privilege. Justice SI. J. Lawlor is authoiity for tho statement that tho warrant in tho caso was sworn out by "Jim" Smith, of this town, be fore James A. JloJIaster, an Alderman of Pittsburg. "Jim" Smith is thoman who helped "Jack" Toolo work up tho alleged case against Superintendent llogart when an eflort was mado to prevent Sir. Bogart from receiving his commission as Superintendent of tho local schools. An interesting fact in connection with tho matter is that "Jim" Smith swears out the warrant "on information received." Jteforo taking his 'departure tills morning Superintendent llogart said If lam accorded tho least quantity of justice I will return hero to-morrow." When asked as to what ho had to say ho replied with coolness, but great firmness, I have nothiuc moro to say than that there is absolutely nothing in tho case At Kcpchlnskl'it Amnio Cnfo.

ELEYEN DEAD AND THREE INJURED The Fire Started In a Theatre Not Long After the Audience Had Left A High Wind Prevailed and Caused the Flames to Spread Rapidly. J1.tox Haiiiotu, Sllch., Pont. 7. The most horrible holocaust, with gront loss of life, thut has ever occurred In this part of tho state occurred Saturday midnight, when Yoro a Opera House tnoknro, and In tho flght to save the building and other blocks adjoining eleven llromun, ono a volunteer, were killed, tho death being in stantaneous with flvo of them, six living only a few hourx in awful agony, whilo several others mot with sovcro bruises and burns. Soon after tho discovery of tho flro flamos broke through tho roof and Illumined the pky and streets with a lurid glare that served to mako vivid tho general scono of confusion and oxcltement. As soon as the flames broke through tho windows and wulls and let In tho draft tho burning block was known to lw doomed. It soon become n llery furnace. The falling walls proved to bo not only a death trap for the lire fighters, but dangerous to ovcry ono who was trying to help stay tho progress of tho flames or assist In saving goods. Ono could soo portions of human bodies through tho fallen bricks. Parties going Into savo tho imprisoned men were over come by heat During tho ovening tho play "A Factory Girl" had boon given by local talent, and had closed but a half hour before lire was discovered. There was much confusion at tho outset, owing to lack of hook nnd lad der facilities. St. Joseph was called on for assistance, tho llromon approaching tho building through an nlloy in tho rear nf tho building. Whilo hoisting ladders tho upper walls foil over without a second's warning, covering tho mon. Tho tragedy was witnessed by hundreds of spectators.

Crawford, ex chief of llenton Harbor flro department, nvercomo by heat and siuoko and burned about tho head, will recover; Will Fround of St. Joseph, cut about tho head; Frank Paget of St. Joeph, leg bruised by falling brick. Frnnk Woodloy and Thomas Kldd were on top of adjoining buildings with hoso, when they encountered livo electric wires, on which they wero hanging dead when found. Tho canso of tho flro is a mystery. Sev eral theories, from a cigar stub to a lamp explosion, aro given. Guy Prescott Is un der arrest as being ono who knows of tho origin. When asked by a reporter the cause ho remarked that ho "was not going to give nny body away." This remark caused Ills detention.

Words cannot express tho ap palling force of this great horror, tho sor row In tho stricken homos or tho shadow of grief that rests on theso peaceful com munities. Tho building was comparatively now, having been erected seven years ago at a cost of f 10,000, by Patrick Yore, a wealthy farmer, who had since leased it to A. J. Simon, who. 1ms had chargo for six years. A two story brick block owned by Joseph Frlck, which stood adjoining, was de molished by tho Opera Houo walls fall ing on top and crashing through to tho basement. Tho total loss is $M,0UU.

A largo quantity of stage scenery belonging to Harry Kmery, of the Kntlo Putnam company ; J. A. Simon and W. C. Hocks wus destroyed, with no insurance.
