Introduced In tho Ohio Legislature.
The first bill provided for the abolish

of capital punishment, and substi
tuted the use of anscsthctlcs and
vivisection. The murderer was to
be turned over to the doctors, who
would dcprlvo him of consclousncsi
by the use of an;isthics and then ex
periment with him to their hearts'
content. The other bill was slmilut
to the first, but less radical, and
gave the murderer the choice be
tween dealh by electricity and death
by anaesthetics and vivisection.

I'nknown employe of Knox eoinpnny,
probably fatally burned about hend aiid
eheet.
The Bro was dlscoven'il at 8.20 o'clock, A
number of mm who were sleeping in the
Knox building were awakened by smoke.
They found the entire rear of the second lloor
of the building In Humes, and hail hardly
time to escape with their lives, llefore they
had left the building the blaze had communi
cated to the three-story rear part of the
Adams stables, nnd was darting out of the
windows of the second and llrst Moors of both
buildings In the rear. A general alarm was
turned lu nnd the entire Urn department
of the elty was nn linnd In short order.
Every company and every fireman was
niH'dcd. A hotter fire never raged. Flumes
poured In great sheets from the doors and
windows of the great stables. All this was In
a very few moments.
A hundred men ran Into the Adams stnbles
nnd cut loose the 160 horses they contained.
Hio animals wern cut loose and' turned Into
the street. The horse of the Kuox company
could not be reached. They were on the
second story of the building, which was a
seething mass of flumes from the very start.
The most of them must have porldhed from
terrific heat nnd from the dense smoke
before the flames reached them.
The Knox building was a four-story struc
ture of brick. On tho first floor were the
heavy wagons of the concern: on the seaond
floor the horses: on the third and fourth
floors hay In large quantities and merchandise
of all kinds which bad been stored with the
company.
Another four-story building of Ihe Knox
company facing oa Heeoud street and con
necting with the stable, separated only by a
thin brick wall, was used entirely for storage
fmrposes. It was wis packed from basement
o roof with furniture and merchandise.
Families had stored their entire household
belongings here: merchant hnd left carloads
of supplies here, and there wo load after
load of incoming and outgoing freight. It Is
In this building that the greatest Ions occurr
ed. The Insurauce cannot begin to cover
It.
Just before 8 o'clock the most terrible Inci
dent of the Are occurred. The firemen bad
carried their hose Into the burning warehouse
through one of the large rear door. This
door was held up by weighted roie, and the
men had Just entered the building when the
rope burned through and the heavy wooden
door fell, penulng them In. The work of
cutting throimh the door wo Immediately
began, and was nil hut finished when the
floors above fell with a crash. The Immense
weight burst out the door and crushed two of
the firemen to death. The other were with
difficulty drugged out of the debris alive. In
about five minute the portion of the outside
wnll immediately over the door gave wav,
filling the wide alley but injuring no one.
Massive iron girders over the door held,
leaving the doorway almost clear. In this
clearing, lying on his face, his head and right
arm exposed, Iny Assistant Foreman Mastin.
A 12-lneh beam lying across his shoulder bad
crushed out his life and now held him pinned
to the ground. It was not until all the top
pling walls' around had fallen an hour later
that bis body could be extricated. The great
beam had to be chopped away from over the
body before it could be removed.
