Prisoners Shiver Arrond Stove
The city hall today is in somewhat
of a state of confusion, owing to the
heating aparatus of the building being
out of order. It had become necessary
to have the furnace taken down for re
pairs and there are only a few rooms
in the building which have fireplaces.
The city prisoners have been removed
to the majn hall of the building and a
cold-like stillness pervades their usual
apartments. It is expected that the
furnace will be replaced today.

New Tork. Feb. 4. The trial of Al
bert T. Patrick for the murder of Wra.
M. Rice, the millionaire, yesterday
reached the stage where the exact
cause of his death was called in ques
tion before the court. The testimony
opened up the inquiry "Was Mr. Rice
chloroformed to death, as the prosecu
tion claims, or did he die of heart dis
ease, as the defense maintains?" These
two questions were what the opposing,
counsel contended over before Record

The state placed on the stand Ru

Whitthaus, chemical and pathological
experts, and E. F. Donlin, a former

that when he performed the autopsy
on Mr. Rice's body he found all his or

RAISED STORM IN LONDON
War Office Charged With Abso
lute Incompetency and In
quiry Demanded 1
London. Feb. 4. In the House of
Commons last evening, Major Arthur
Lee (Conservative), formerly British
attache to the United States army dur
ing the Spanish-American war and
later the British military attache at
Washington, said Great Britain had
been offered the oervlcea of the chief
horse expert of the United States ar
my as advisor in the purchase of
American horses for the British army.
Major Lee said: "The accredited rep
resentative of the war office, Colonel
Wardrop, attache at Vienna, was giv
en no opportunity for showing what
knowledge he possessed of the re
sources of the country. I, being the
military attache at Washington, was
not informed that there was any inten
tion of buying horses in the United
States. I learned from American news
papers that British officers had been
sent to buy horses. At that lime I had
an opportunity of getting the services
of the chief horse expert of the United
States army, as advisor. I cabled the
suggestion to the war office, but re
ceived no reply."
The whole debate orf this question
causes wide-spread indignation. The
ministerial press vigorously charges
the war office with absolute incompe
tency if nothing worse, and demands a
searching inquiry.
SOUTHERN SUED FOR $60,000
EOR FAILURE TO PROVIDE CARS
Thirty suits - have been instituted against the Southern railway.
The papers were filed "yesterday afternoon In the clerk's office and
sheriff and his deputies have been kept busy serving them.
The suits are all brought by one party W. N. Cooper, and are for the
recovery of alleged damages and losses sustained by an insufficiency of cars.
Summons have been served upon F. R. Darby as local agent of the Southern
railway and J. E. Rankin, as director of the Western North Carolina rail
way. Each suit is for $2000, making a total of $60,000. The plaintiff evident
ly has taken this method of bringing about a large number of cases In order
to retain the cause in the Superior court, otherwise it could be removed to
the Federal court for hearing. '
The cases are brought to the next term of the court and will stand for
trial at the May term. t
The suit is brought under the laws - " 1901, chapter 634, which makes It
unlawful for any railway company operating in this state to allow any
freight it may receive for shipment to remain unshipped for more than five
days unless otherwise agreed between the railway company and the shipper,
and any company violating this section shall forfeit and pay to the party
agrieved the sum of $500 for each day said freight remains unshipped and
all damages actually sustained by reasons of said freight so remaining un
shipped. Judge Charles A. Moore has been employed by Mr. Cooper as counsel in
the case.

EIGHTY-FOUR BODIES
TAKEN FROM MINE
Eagle Pass, Feb. 4. Eighty-four
boaits ind sixteen men barely alive,
some 0 them horribly mangled, have
been taken from the Hondo mines.
Search for the bodies has stopped on
accoun ; of the stench, but disinfectants
arrived this afternoon and work will
be resumed.
The shaft had 118 men enrolled and
IS are still missing. Twenty-five head
of dej.d mules have been taken from
the shaft;
The damage to property is very great.
The company has obtained all the
physicians and nurses that can be se
cured from an points and is doing ev
erything possible to save any of the
miners who may be still alive.
The scene at the opening of the mine
was horrible to contemplate. Wives,
mothers and children of the dead and
mangled were screaming and crying
and refused to retire.
Of those known to have gone into tne
mine there are about forty still to be
accounted for. They are not likely to
be living. If not killed outrlgnt, tne
deadly carbonic gas will unquestiona
bly render .the men unconscious. There
is a pathetic story of a little muleteer
who came up aliv.. His brain was in
jured and he kept running around in a
circle. His brother recognized and em
braced him and the boy exclaimed:
"My brother." On being released he
again began running around until he
dropped dead.
The direct cause of the explosion is
not yet known. The accepted theory
is ignition by a naked light. The mine
is about twenty-flve feet deeper than
those adjacent, having a depth of (5
feet, and is a dry mine, consequently
fine explosive coal dust finds lodgement
on the ledge and floor and is often an
unsuspected danger. General Manager
Johnson of the Mexican International
railroad, is also general manager of the
mines. He wen. to the mine on a spe
cial engine on Saturday and is still
there. A uozen surgeons secured from
accessible points along the road and
from the frontier are doing all that is
practical for the living. The dead are
being buried. Their helpless relatives
xcfuse to be comforted.
Miss Clark's Recital
Last evening at the Asheville col
lege, a large audience assembled to
hear the song recital given by Miss
Edith Marion Clark of the college
faculty, assisted by F. F. Harker.
Each number of the well chosen and
well sung program received abundant
applause for Miss Clark's versatility
enabled her to sing either the ' dainty
love songs or classic heavier music
with great expression, and power.
"Sail, Little Boat," composed by Mi
Harker, -was a favorite with the audi
ence and was encored enthusiastically
The fine control of voice which Miss
Clark possesses was admirably shown
in Saint Saen's exquisite love-song,
"My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice."
Mr. Harker, as accompanist and so
loist did artistic work.

"Should the Boer delegates mem
