Despotic Step In the Persecution of Super
intendent Bogart.
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

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

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.
Tho following wero killed : Frank Wntr
son of St Joseph, leaves a wifo; John
Hoffmann of llenton Harbor, loaves a wifo
and flvo children; Thomas Kldd of Hen
ton Harbor, unmarried; Frank Woodloy
of llenton Hnr!xr, leaves wifo and three
children ; D. H. Gnngo of St. Joseph, dray.

hotel, lived but a few minutes; 111 I.
Mitten of Denton Hurbor, leaves wife und
seven children ; Ijouts Huff man of Denton
Harbor, widower, leaves two smnll chil

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.
Tho Injured and dead wero taken from
the ruins as fast as possible, and at 5
o'clock tho last man had been removed

Iki Identified, ihero worn many heart
rending scenes as wives, parents and chil
dren scanned tho distorted and mutilated
remains of those lying cold In death upon
tho floor. 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 high wind prevailed, which caused
tho walls to fall outward, and udjolnlng
buildings wero saved only with greatest
efforts. 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.
Thousands witnessed the conflagration,
und with dllllculty crowds wero kept out
of danger.
Tho St. Joseph funerals wero held today,
commencing at 10 :; n. m., while the llen
ton Harbor unfortunates will bo Interred
tomorrow, with services by various socie
ties. This calamity is a greater shock to
tho twlti cities than tho Chlcora's loss, a

Tho Rescue Hook aud Ladder t'o. 1, of
Shenandoah, is making arrangement to hold
a fair on October 17th, in Itobbins' opera
house. Tho "Hookies" never do things by

nttraetivo features will bo introduced. Tho
members of the company dcserc all the
support and encouragement that our peoplo
can glvo them. Their enterprise in equipping
tho company with a new chemical engine

fully attest their desiro to bo in a position to
fight tho lire fiend. All this is for tho beucfit
of our citizens, and the latter can in no
better way show their appreciation of tho
firemen's efforts tlian by assisting to mako
the fair a success. The proceeds are to ho
devoted to paying oil' tho indebtness of their
