The Heroic Mother Was Faithful Even
Unto Death.
BOTH PERISHED IN THE FLAMES
Sha Went Back Into the Burning Building
to KeBCue Her Boy and Was Smothered.
The Charred Bodies Were Found
Side by Side.
One of the most striking exemplifications
of the depth of a mother's love and devotion
was furnished this morning at a sad amilr in
Malianoy l'laue, when Sirs. Ellen ifiorden,
wlfo of Cornelius Itloidcn, sacrificed hcrlifo
by trying to savo her son, Daniel, aged nine
years, from llro that was consuming her
homo. Tho sad disaster carries with it pro
fotind cil'cct.
ISetwcon 1 and 1:30 o'clock this morning
llamcs hroko out in the roar part of the
houso and spread so rapidly that tho cntiro
building was soon enveloped In llames. Tho
structure was a two-story framo dwelling and
tho flro was caused by a defcctlvo lluo. Tho
upper rart of tho houso was occupied by the
liiordcn family consisting of tho father,
mother and two children, and the basement
was occupied by Sirs. Dowd, a widow, and
her three children. All tho latter iamily es
caped from tho building without injury.
Mr. liiordcn grabbed ono of his children as
ho rusliod from tho burning building and
Mrs. liiordcn followed, but upon learning that
her son had not escaped tho noblo woman
rushed back into tho building to get him out.
liur heroic effort was fruitless, as sho was
overconio by smoko Just as slio reached tho
room where her son was sleeping and tho
bodies of tho two were burned to a crisp.
Tho charred remains of both mother and
son were found in tlo ruins of tho building
which was entirely destroyed. Tho theory
is advanced by some that tho floor gave way
and carried tho devoted mother and tho ob
ject of her sterling an"eetions down into tho
fiery mass below. lieu tho remains were
removed from tho ruins they wore taken to
tho homo of Jonas Smith, a brother of tho
deceased.
Tho unfortunate woman was iff years of
ago and is survived by her husband and livo
children. Mr. liiordcn, with ono of his sons,
was in Whitelock's shoo store on Main street
to-day, purchasing a pair of shoes for tho
boy. Ho is 'heartbroken and says that lie
only succeeded in escaping from tho building
with tho trousors and shirt ho hurriedly put
on when aroused from his slumber by tho
cries of tho people outside.
When the flro was discovered tho whistles
of the simp at Malianoy l'lano and the engine
houso at the head of tho plane were blown
loud and long. The fire companies of Maha
noy l'lano and Maizevillo responded, but a
break in tho principal lino of hoso handi
capped tho firemen.

Consul General Lee Compelled the
Spaniards to Back Down.
COMMANDER M'INTOSH HAD GRIT
i
He Protected a Mexican Subject and Re
plied to the Spanish Officials In
Language Which Was More
Forcible Than Elegant.
Kkv Wpt, Ha., Oct. 20. For three hours
last Friday tho United States and Spain were
on the brink of war, and tho threatening
situation was only relieved when the Sinuiish
authorities ignomluotisly backed down and
allowed tho Vigilancia to proceed to sea with
Seiior Angel Fernandez still on board. When
tho Vlgllnncia put into Havana tho Spanish
authorities demanded che surrender of Fer
nandez, a Moxican. Tho Spaniards alleged
that Fernandez was not a Mexican, but a
subject of Spain.
Commander John Mcintosh, of tho Vig-
ilancir, refused to surrender Fernandez.
Then tho Spanish authorities told Mcintosh
that if tlie Vigilancia attempted to go to sea
wiih Fernandez on board sho would be sunk
by tlit! gnus of Moro Castle. Captain Mcin
tosh immediately laid the matter before
Consul (ieneral Leo, who complimented the
captain on his bravery and told him to take
the Vigilancia tosea when he pleased. Consul
(ieneral Leo was greatly enraged at tho
threat to sink tho Vigilancia, and is reported
to hae s.iid to Captain Mcintosh :
"If the guns of Moro Castle sink your
ship American warships will bo bombarding
Havana in a few days. '
Captain Mcintosh returned to tho Vigil
incia and Consul Leo informed Weyler that
the vessel was going to sea, and that if any
attempt was made to tako oil Fernandez or
that If the vessel was II red upon Spain must
take tho consequences. Weyler immediately
summoned a cabinet council, aud while this
council was considering the matter the
Vigilicia began to weigh anchor. The
Spanish officials on board protested, but
Captain Mcintosh said iu vigorous language:
"D your objections. My ship has been
cleared. My consult lias told mo to go to sea.
I am going, and I dare jou to try to prevent
mo. fiet oil' my ship."
With that the Yankee roughly shored tho
Spaniards into the waiting boats, and tho
Vigilancia, Hying the stars and stripes,
started for tho mouth of the harbor, which
is commanded by tho guns of Moro emtio.
Slowly the Vigilancia entered tho mouth of
tho harbor and then it was noticed that tho
guns of Moro castle were turned on tho ship.
The Vigilancia repeatedly signalled -Moro
tattle: "I am going to sea," but no answer
came from the fort until tho vessel was in
blue water, and thou tho Spaniards ran up
the signal which means "Good bye."
It is said that Weyler is furious over the
departure of the vessel and Consul Lee's
course. It i-stated Weyler ordered tho com
mandment of Moro to sink tho Vigilancia,
but that at the last moment ho yielded to tho
entreaties of his cabinet and countermanded
tho order.
