Agents and others will plcate govern themselves accordingly.- BRENNAN NOTIFIED. Klllott's Slayer Informed or the Adverse Action of the rardoii llonrd. Thomas Rrenuan, now awaiting tlio day named by Governor Stone for bis execution foi tho murder of Harry Klllott, at New Philadelphia last June, wat visited In prison yesterday by his counsel, Messrs. James r lanigan and (leorge Dyson, and informed the Pardon Hoard had refused to commute the death sentence to Ufa imprisonment. It was an unpleasant task for the attorneys. who have worked so zealously in llrennan's behalf, but they were somewhat surprised to discover that the condemned man was the most composed of tlio threo when the infor mation was imparted to him. Ho hail little to say, beyond that he expected no clemency at the hands of tho Board of Pardons. Bren nan has evidently nerved himself for the worst, and his demeanor and compose is a surprise to nil. He is ever courteous, has few wants and is not the slightest trouble to tne prison oOiclals. Immediately after Messrs. Flanigan and Dyson bad left Brennan, the latter's aged mother visited the prison, and was at once shown in his coll. The meeting of the two was most effect I nit. the mother's grief helm: inconsolable. Brennan nerved himself for the ordeal and made a bravo effort to console his grief stricken mother, but she would not be comforted, and wept as though her heart would break. Brennan, too, was tuovod to tears, but bore his trying position well. What passed between mother and son, tho outside world need not know, Suflico it say any mother can imaglno if she could but place herself in a similar position. Ooveruor Stonobas named January 18th as the date for Brenuan's execution. Whether this date will be changed is as yet not fully determined, although it is probable an exten sion of time may be asked in order to permit tho prisoner to prepare for the end.

Three or four little girls were there dressing for the rehearsal ano laughing gayly among themselves. A dozen others were grouped In th6 wings of the stage, near the foot of the stairs descending from the dressing room. The girls In the dressing room had nearly completed their costumes when one of them brushed against a gas Jet. but which one it will never he known. A touch of the flame was sufficient, and In an instant her dress of cotton and light cloth was In a blaze. She screamed and ran out of the room, communicating the blaze to the others as she ran. One of the Mrls, with her dress In a blaze, Jumped out of a small window Into the stairs leading to the stage, and then down the stairs. A flaming torch she was, as she almost fell down the stairs and rushed Into the groups of children standing in the wings. They were all clad like her. In fancy costumes of cctton. lace and silk, and the fire spread with Incredible rapidity from one to the other. There were 14 children in the cast of the Christ mas entertainment and only a few es caped. It war ail over In ten min utes, aud In that time four perished, seven were fatally burned and others more or less severely injured. The chlldrer were panic stricken and rushed this way anil that, screaming with pain. But the agony was brlof. Only a few minutes and then four of them sank to the floor dead. Others fell, too, but they still lived, suffering excruciating agony. Tho school hall was filled with chil dren, and many moro would have been killed In the panic which followed had It not "been for the prompt efforts of the teachers and Bisters who were In charge of the entertainment. The children were in a panic for a few minutes and lushed for the doors, but prompt efforts quieted them and no one was hurt in the rush. The shrieks and screams of the In jured were agonizing The little ones lay helpless :uid Impotent on the floor and writhed atmut In their agony. The dead were charred in most cases be yond recognition. The home of peace ful pleasure had In a', instant become n charnel lmnpe The dctrs flitted nbo'it on their missions of mercy, seek ing to supply soothing lotions to those who were still alive and seeking also to cover the charred bodies of the dead with blankets or other covering. The excitement Inside the building was soon intensified with the situation without. The crowds congregated In an Instant, and parents soon camo searching anxiously for their little ones. The landing at tho third floor was a combination of hospital and morgue. Besides the miny patients within the smoke stained walls, them were dozens of fn'n'.'ng end heart broken women without. They scream ed as some of the scenes came to them, and if the child or loved one was among the deid or woti"r!ed their grief gained the m8te-y and there was a collapse which required the attention of the doctors Couches and divans galore at Davison's.
