He Would Not be Turned From His
Purpose. A Mother Dies For
Her Children.
(By the Associated Tress.)
New York. June 15.—Ten lives were
lost and several badly injured during a
fire which almost totally destroyed a tene
ment house at 31 Jackson street early to -
day. The official list of the dead is:
William Cotter, 10 years of age.
Mrs. Kate Cotter, 3S. o
Joseph Cotter, 12.
Kate Cotter, I*.
William Cotter. 1.
John Cotter, 3.
Louis Marius, 40.
Mary Marius, 37.
Elsie Marius, 6.
Mamie Cotter, 13. j
The fire appears to have started in the
rear of the hallway on the second iloor. I
It had gained great headway before *h ,■
people in the house were awakened to.
their peril. i
Patrick Burns appears to have been the
first person in the house who was app 's
ed of the fire. He was awakened hv
smoke, and he gave the alarm to others ,
in Miss Mary Jordan apartments, where |
lie boarded. All escaped except Burns
who was severely injured by flames.
Policeman Knowles, after assisting the i
ITartigan family to escape from the third
floor of the building mounted one fight
higher. Flames shot out of the windows
and set fire to his coat. He looked into
the windows of the Cotter apartments
hut could see no signs of life there. The
brave policeman, half suffocated by the
smoke, continued to climb the fire es
cape until he reached the top floor. He |
heard screams coming from the Mulhearn
apartments and locating them assisted
the dazed people down the fire escape.
Louis Marius was killed by jumping from
a window; When a fireman had reached
the apartments of the family, three of the
family were dead on the floor and the
others were unconscious.
In the Cotter rooms were found Mrs.
Cotter while a tew feet a wav lay tlm
body of Mr. Cotter with a dead child
under him. In other parts of the room
were found the remaining members of
th > family. Only two of them. Mamie
and George, the latter four months cld,
were alive.
When Knowles reached the Marius
apartments a confusion of flame and
smoke burst into his face. In the midst
of it all. with night gowns ablaze and
their hair blazing, four of the children
were tearing about the room shrieking
in terrible agony.
Mrs. Marius huddled near the window.
With her bare arms wrapped about her
baby, she was gasping for air.
Three rushes were made into the flames
bv the terrified woman and Margery.
Frank and Mamie were brought to
Knowles after he had taken the baby.
The blisters and sears were swelling on
his hands and arms, but lie conquered
his agony and finished his work on the
floor bv finally carrying the fainting
form of the courageous mother down
the fire escape.
A few moments afterward the woman
died. She had literally sacrificed her
self for her babies.
Mamie Cotter died as soon as site ar
rived at the hospital.
The monetary loss caused bv the fire
is estimated at from $5,00 to $7,000.
ECLIFSE OI6ERVATIONS AT WADESBORO
Account of Work Done Under Direction of the
Smithsonian Itstitute.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington. June 1" —A preliminary
account of the observations at Wades
boro, N. C.. during the recent eclipse,
under the direction of the Smithsonian
Institute has been prepared : y 0. G. Ab
bott. of the Institution.
“The main object of investigation,"
says Mr. Abbott, ‘‘was the corona, and of
this, first, a photographic study of the
detailed structure of ’he inn*" corona:
with, second, a determ-nation' by tlie
bolometer whether appreri tole beat
reaches us from it, an;l, if pcss Me, an
examination of the r cr;r of its spectrum
curve.
“The eclipse was notably dot a dark
one. Not many stars were observed with
the naked eye. Most of the obs- rvers
saw only Mercury. The high degree of
illumination operated unfavorably in the
study of the outer corona.
“The fall of temperature and rising
breeze were distinctly noticeable r*?'ore
totality. No change in direction of the
wind was noted. Shadow bands were
seen, but those observers who att -mp’ed
to measure their velocity found them too
rapid and flickering for any successful
work in this direction.
•’lt was noticed that the birds were'
silent during totality, but true to then
nature, the English sparrows were last
to he still and first to begin their discus
sion of the eclipse after the return of
light.
• Tin- attention of all visual observers
was caught by the equatorial streamer:.
Father Woodman described the appear
ance as like mother of pearl, but different
observers differed on the color estimate.
A yellowish green tinge was noted by the
artist of the party, Mr. Child, while to
others the light was straw colored or
golden. The visual telescopic observa
tions of the writer gave little indicat on
of the finely divided structure of the
inner corona -which had been note- at
Pike’s Teak during the eclipse of D,’v
One remarkable prominence was seen as
well as several smaller ones, but tie
corona streamers did not give to visual
I observers the impression of being con
nected in any way with the prominences.
“All observers reported a successful
carrying out of the programme. The
greatest interest centered in the direct
corona negatives taken with the 135 foot
telescope. Mr. Smillie exposed six 30x30
plates during the totality, with times
ranging from one-half to 10 seconds.
All of these negatives have not yet been
developed. Those of one-half second, two
seconds and four seconds exposure have
been hurriedly examined, however, and
they give clear indications of the cross
ing and re-crossing of filaments like the
appearance of a field of a grain bending
in the wind. The prominences and polar
streamers appear in imposing magnitude
and detail.
"Mr. Abbott with the aid of Mendenhal,
detected the heat of th? corona probably
fer the first time. Observations with the
bolometer showed that the corona gave a
positive indication of heat as compared
with the moon. This heat, though certain
was. however, too slight to be sub-divided
by the dispersion of the prism, with the
means at hand.
“No attempt to clearly examine the
plates taken for intra-mercurial planets
has yet been possible. It is, how
ever. doubtful if any very faint objects
will be found in consideration of the con
siderable sky illumination during totality.
‘‘However, Tleione and many fainter
stars in the Tleiades were plainly seen
on one of the plates.
“On the whole the expedition may fairly
be considered as very satisfactory in its
results.”
VICE PRESIDENCY STILL IN THE AIR.’I
Talk of Dolliver, Woodruff. Long and Fair
banks. Long Possibly the Strongest.
(By the Associated Tress.)
Philadelphia, June 15.—Speculation, gos
sip and informal conferences today among
national committeemen and other leading
Republicans who are here has failed to
indicate a crystallization of sentiment
i around any individual. Neither Senator
| Hanna nor those who are to him
give any hint that %the Administration
has a choice. That there are a number of
j delegates who will vote for any man tn
Administration favors seems to accentuate
; the general impression that the nominee
will be the man most satisfactory to the
President. ‘‘lf you would take us into
| your confidence on this Vice Presidential
' matter it would slmplfy the situation
■ greatly and give us an opportunity to do
what the President would like." said a
prominent Republican to Senator Ha via
today, and the reply he made was: ' l'ou
know all that I know about it.”
1 Senator Hanna’s only observation on
the situation today was that until th<
different delegations arrived end there
was an opportunity for them to consult
no conclusion could be reached.
| Senator Platt's talk of B. B. O’Dell,
of New York, caused a little flutter
here, and Dolliver stock took an upward
I turn about the same time, the cause
being the impression that in case O’Dell
should be pressed by New York there
would be only the lowan Congressman
by those who do not favor a New Yorker.
| The candidacy of Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff, of New York, who arrived to
day is still being kept in evidence by
his friends, but apparently without any
backing from the Republican managers,
apd with the distinct disapproval of
Senator Hanna.
j It is generally believed that Senator
! Allison has made it plain that he would
not be a candidate under any circum
stances.
The position of Secretary Long causes
considerable comment and it is being
freely asked why the Long condidacy
should proceed so far unless it has the
, tacit consent cf the President. The fact
! that Long is a member of McKinley's
Cabinet, gives rise to an undeniably wide
, spread belief that the Secretary of the
1 Navy will finally receive the support of
the Administration. If such is the case,
however, it is being carefully kept from
view. As the matter stands tonight it
would seem that Long, Dolliver and
Fairbanks are the leading possibilities for
Vice President.

THE RATES AT KANSAS CITY.
Chairman Jones Says They Appear to be Re
markably Reasonable.
(By the Associated Press.)
Kansas City, Mo.. June 15.—Six mem
bers of the National Democratic com
mittee. members of the sub-committee on
arrangement for the convention, held a
brief meeting here today. The members
came particularly to investigate the oft
repeated charges that the Kansas City
hotel keepers are demanding extortion
ate rates for the entertainment of con
vention guests. Before the sub-commit
tee left Kansas City this evening. Na
tional Chairman Jones issued a state
ment to the country in which he gives
assurance that not only can accommo
dations be had at reasonable rates, but
that, as the situation appears to him con
vention visitors to Kansas City may be
taken care of at more reasonable rates
than has been the ease at any former
convention.
After the adjournment it was stated
that the only business of public interest
transacted was the apportionment of tick
ets of admission to the convention among
the delegates and alternates. It was de
cided that each of the !'3O delegates
should receive besides his oWn seat, four
tickets of admission to all sessions of the
convention, but that no extra tickets
would be given to the alternates, their
perquisites being limited to a scat in the
convention.
Judge Wilson, of Colorado, displayed a
sample cf the Democratic campaign but
ton here today It is in the form of a
clover leaf. The inscription strangely
enough is in gold letters and it is as
fellows:
“Democracy stands for bi-metallism,
not monometallism.
"People, not trusts: republic not em
pire.”
After a conference with the leading
hotel men and the general committees
of Kansas City Chairman Jones handed
The Associated Jones the following
statement:
"The three or four leading hotels have
already contracted practically for tVeir
full capacity. On account of the * in
creased expense in preparing for the
convention, the managers of tht larger
felt themselves compelled to require
contracts for a minimum time of four
days, the time to begin at the option of
they did not increase their regular rates.
"In the other hotels, nearly 400 in
number, and the 8 or 10 thousand out
side rooms listed by the local committee
on public, accommodations can be had at
reasonable rates and payment is only
required for the length of time the rooms
are occupied.
"The local commmittee on public com
fort has so systematized its works that
it appears to me that it is possible for
any man to be taken care of better and
at more reasonable rates than has been
the case of any former convention.
"The general work of the bureau of in
formation and commmittee on public com
fort is in charge of A. D. L. Hamilton,
New York Life Building, Kansas City,
Mo., who will give all inforamtion de
sired, reserve rooms and make contracts
for all persons wishing to attend the con
vention. Comfortable rooms may be se
cured by correspondence with him."
I CONTRARY TO HANNA’S WISHES.
The National Committee Show Some Independ
ence in Deciding Contests.
(By the Associated Press.)
Philadelphia, June 15.—The Republican
National Committee today put in three
long sessions on the contests which have
been brought before it and adjourned late
tonight with all of the controversies
practically disposed of, except that from
Delaware.
An important action today was the
seating of the Brownlow delegates in the
Tennessee contest and refusing admission
to the friends of Pension Commissioner
Evans. The contest was very bitter, and
at one time there was the possibility of a
serious encounter between Brownlow and
Evans.
The action of the committee in the vari
ous contests has caused it to be generally
remarked that it has not been influenced
in the least by the leaders. Senator
Hanna’s friends from the South, especially
the office-holders have received scant con
sideration. Where there were rival fac
tions of office-holders, as in Alabama,
both sides have been denied seats. Ihe
defeat of Wimberley in Louisiana and
the elevation of Y.’armouth is said to have
been distinctly antagonistic to the wishes
of the close friends of the Administra
tion.
The most interesting incident of the
day was reserved until late in the after
noon. It was a speech by Senator Hanna
on the Delaware ease, in which he made
an impassioned appeal for the burial of
the hatchet between the Addicks and the
Dupont-Higgins factions.
There was a proposition to seat the
Addicks delegation, but this was met with
a suggestion to recommit the matter to
the sub-committee with instructions to
make still further eflort to bring the
contesting factions together.
Mr. Hanna took the floor in support of
this latter proposition.
His speech was an appeal for unity of
action, and he said that no eflort should
be spared to accomplish this end.
THE QUARANTINE DISSOLVED,
Judge Morrow Holds That Quarantining the
Chinese Shows Discrimination.
(By the Associated Press.)
San Francisco, June 15. —In the l nited
Stales Circuit Court today Judge Mor
row rendered a decision in the case of
Jev Ho vs. the Board of Health of this
city, dissolving the general quarantine
of a section of Chinatown now enforced
by the Board of Health, owing to the al
leged existence of plague in this city.
Judge Morrow held that the quarantine
was discriminatory in its character, in
asmuch as only members of the Mongolian
race were held within its restrictions:
that the method of quarantine tended
more to increase the danger of contagion
from the plague because it quarantined
a district instead of the houses within
a district.
Regarding the existence of plague Judge
Morrow stated that he was not qualified
to pass judicially on the question owing
to conflicting testimony, but that if it
came within his power tn deride in the
matter he would declare that plague docs
not or has not existed.
At the meeting of the Board of Health
this afternoon the quarantine was de
clared dissolved.
The tenth annual convention of the
Southern Hardware Jobbers Association
closed yesterday at Old Point Comfort.

(Special to News and Observer.)
Asheville. N. C., June 15.—Further ad
vices of the wreck on the Southern rail
road near this city, give the following
list of injured:
Henry Richmond, colored fireman.

the embankment, that no one was killed.
The fireman, Richmond, and Baggage
Master W. R. Killian were literally
buried, the one under the wreck of the
engine, the other under the combination

St. Lcuis. Mo.. June 15.—8 v a practi
cally unanimous vote the striking street
car men decided today to accept a new
proposition presented by their executive
committee and to empower the executive
committee to settle on the basis of the
