u . ,^ e government by licensing the poisin drink traffic, for a consideration,
takes a reward against the innocent, ’ “bargains away the public health and

Because they loved each other so,
and because they feared separation,
Louise Ontre and Nettle Day, two 15-
year-old girls, went to the Chatta
hoochee river Sunday morning, bent
upon carrying out a suicide pact. Net
tle had Jumped Into the stream and waa
being pulled out by Louise, who sud-
■ denly awoke to the horror of suicide,
Just as County Policeman Dunbar ap
peared and took both the girls Into
custody.
“Because wo loved each other so."
That Is the only- explanation offered
by Louise Ontre. It Is a strange story
of the Infatuation of two persons of
the same sex. the second .tory based
upon that circumstance which has
startled Atlanta within a few months.
The two girls are night operators at
the Southern Bell Telephone Company.
Louise Ontre, who L of German ex
traction, lives at Hapevllle, while Net
tie Day lives at 401 Houston street.
Both nre bright nnd attractive.
The two met several months ago, nnd
the friendship which sprang up grew
Into an affection that is unusual, even
between girls, of that age.

today of a spectacular fire at Long
Beach, L. I. Thousands of dollars'
worth of valuables were lost The
sleeping guests were driven from their
rooms pell inell down the stairs In night
attire and many saved themselves by
leaping from balconies.
Aided by a high wind that blew In
from the ocean, the flames were carried
throughout the entire structure and
within an hour nothing remained but
the charred ruins.
Absorbed In their efforts to extin
guish the hotel, the firemen permitted
the station to burn down. Dynamite
was used to stop the spread of the
flames. Two cottages were blown up

During the thunder storm Monday pt

the Presbyterian hospital and also the
operating room, Interrupting a surgical
operation and badly shocking and
frightening the physicians.
No one was Injured, but all of the
patients and the attaches of the hos-

result to the patients.
The lightning struck the corner of
the building on the fourth floor, the
room of Dr. Eskridge, the house sur
geon. A lot of bricka were knocked
from the building. The same flash also
struck nn electric wire In tho operating
room while Drs. Barnett and Eskridge
were performing an operation on a pa
tient. There was a tremendous crash,
a blinding flash and both doctors were
hurled backwards, the surgical Instru
ments being knocked violently from
their hands.
The patient, who was unde* the In

The tenement has long been known
as "The Three Deuces" and haa been
the very hotbed of Italian murderers.
"Black Hand" tragedies were often
traced to plottings In the house and the
place had a criminal record not
equalled by any other house In New
York. While many respectable Italians
lived In the place, It waa only because
they were too poor to afford more de>
alrable apartments.
The house Is believed to have been
fired by tho bursting of a bomb placed
by a member of tno "Black Hand.”
There was a terrlflr explosion at the
outset, which caused a panic nnd made
the tenants of the house enay victims
for tho flames, which spread with mys
terious rapidity. The Are waa.one of
the worst the New York Are depart
ment has battled with In years.
When the fire companies began to
arrive, mothers were standing on the
Are escapes clasping their babies to
their breasts. Husbands were clinging
to their wives so that the latter might
not leap to certain destruction.
Throughout the entire building cries
were • heard, but soon most of them
were stifled, as the smoke poured
through tho hallways.'
Captain Albert Johnson and Detec
tive Connors rushed up the stairs of a
houso In the rear, the roof of which
adjoins that of tha destroyed structure.
Johnson dropped flat on the cornice,

The fireman was slowly let down to
where he could grasp the hands of
Tommosso Gaxxlano, Mrs. Gasslano and
their live children. Despite the great
heat, the two heroic firemen stuck to
their post and ono by one tho members
of the family were dragged to the roof
and then taken down stairs to the
street.

IN NORTH ATLANTA
That "lightning never strikes twice
In the same place" Is an adage refuted
by the experience of north’Atlanta cltl-
tens.
The severe electric etorm Which
swept over the city at noon Monday
appears to have spent Its force In north
Atlanta, two houses being Btruck by
lightning while the terrific thunder and
electrical display was at Its height.
The home of L. F. Daniel, a number
of the firm of Daniel Bros., was struck
by lightning at 18:80 o’clock and the
roof and exterior of the building dam
aged to the extent of about 11.500.
The .peculiar feature of the accident
was that none of the Inmates knew
that lightning had struck the house un
til It was found that the building was
on Are. The fire department was sum
moned and the blare waa extinguished
with little difficulty.
Tho home of J. D. Carter, 247 Pine
street, which Is In the same locality,
was also struck by lightning daring
the storm. None of the members of
the family were at home at the time
nnd the house wae only slightly dam
aged.
According to statements made by
residents of north Atlanta, this section
of the city suffers more from lightning
than any other section. '
The residence of Mr. Carter, ft Is
sold, has been struck a number of times
previously, while the residence of Dr.
R. R. Klme, which adjoins that of Mr.
Daniel, has also been struck by light
ning on a Conner occasion.
OF TIME FOR
Majority Stands Firm
For January
Next.
“A careful canvnss of the houso
this- -morning discloses tho fact
that our members nre standing
firm for the bill—against any ex
tension of time. They beliove that
such extension of time to July of
next year would precipitate an
election, terrible in the fact that
the state would be flooded and de
bauched by the use of money nnd
liquor. They further bejievc that
six months is an ample time for
the liquor interests to close out
their business.
“I confidently expect the pas
sage of tho bill by nn overwhelm
ing majority."
After an animated and ofttlmes heat
ed discussion, flatting more than one
month, and continuing the all-absorb
ing topic from Rabun Gap to Tybee,
the prohibition bill will be finally put
on Its passage In the lower house of
the gonerat assembly Tuesday morn
ing Immediately after the reading of
the Journal.
Whether the bill will come to a vote
on Tuesday or whether tho amend
ments which will bo Introduced will re
quire more tlmo for discussion than Is
at present anticipated, la u question
which Is to some extent unsettled.
The opponents of tho measure have
stated positively that no dilatory tac
tics will be employed and that no
amendments save those which they
believe to be absolutely essential will
be offered. Should this be tho cage. It
Is generally believed that the amend
ments can he illnposed of by 7:80
o’clock Tuesday evening and the final
vote taken on the main bill a short
while later.
Fight for Time,
understood that the principal
fight of the antl-prohlbltlonlats will bo
waged In tho effort to secure a delay
for them to defeat tho bill they desire
to change the time of going Into effect
from January 1, 1901, to the same date
In 1999. Should they fall In this they
will try to secure a compromise on July
' 1908.
The prohibitionists declare that they
will not yield one day from the time
already fixed for the bill to go Into
effect, and doclare further that no
amendments will be tolerated, with the
exception- of those two which provide
tlrnt wholesale dealers In alcohol may
sell to retailers In this state, and that
physicians may keep pure alcohol for
uso In their practice. ^
In addition to these annulments,
there Is one proposed by the houso
temperanco committee which may be
adopted. This amendment only throws
more restrictions around the sale of
alcohol by druggists on prescriptions of
physicians.

Mr. Covington, who Is one of the au

Issued a call to every prohibitionist In

"The bill la ns safe as a baby In Its

"and It will pass as It now stands. The
efforts of the opposition nre now con
ducted upon placing an amendment so
an to make the bill operative January

'Boise, Idaho. July 29.—Charles IL
Moyer, president of the Western Fed
eration of Miners, is to be released on
ball, according to the attorneys for the
state and defense. The amount of the
bond Is to be 326,000.
George A. Pettlbone Is to bo held for
trial.
Haywood Is with his family, arrang
ing to start for Denver tomorrow or
Wednesday. Moyer will go with him
Haywood's mother Is much Improved
and she, too, will go home with her
son.
In administration circles -there Is a
disposition to criticise Judge Wood for
the Instructions he gave, which the
Goodlngltes declare compelled the ac
quittal of Haywood. Jurors say they
would have acquitted Haywood with
out any Instructions, because there \vu«
no proof that Haywood was connected
with the murder of Stvunenberg.
Pettlbone will be tried early in Octo
ber. Tho state will not say anything
about Its plan to try Orchard. His case
Is pending In Canyon county and Is
continued from tlmo to time.
Haywood's trial cost the state of Ida
ho 1240,000. The tax-payers of the
atnto are angry that such an expense
should have been authorised on whut
has proved a fiasco.
Although Moyer and Pettlbone are
under Indictment, It Is regarded as
practically certain they never will be
called to trial. Their lawyers will move
for a dismissal of the Indictments, and
It Is considered certain that the mo
tions will be granted.
Haywood spent tho morning at the
bedside of his feeblo okl mother today.
In. striking contrast t<> the abuse
heaped upon him by Governor Goading
and those who conducted fits prosecu
tion, Haywood had only gentle words
for the men who tried to hang him.
"I have no feeling nor 111 will toward-
anyono,” he said. "I am charitable to.
ward all.”
Tho finding of the Jury Is considered
a great victory for union labor. It was
under the moat pathetic circumstances
thnt Haywood’s acquittal came. The
Jury after having stood 10 to 2 for
acquttal switched to acquittal, and as
tho verdict wns read In court the men
who had freed him wept.
Haywood’s first move a free Meing
freed was to telephone ftr his Invalid
wifi-. Then he went to hi- 1 a..th,-r. In
a statement he says he will Immediate
ly return to his duties as secretary of
tho Western Federation of Miners.
