UN ALL NIGHT STRUGGLE
Joyj'il Time for Prisoner and Family
v, Following Wearisome Trial
s oa the Charge of
s Murder.1
Boise, Idaho, July 29. After an all
liigljf; session the jury brought in a ver
diet of not guilty in the case of Wil
lisnif: D. Hayjrood, " charged with, the
imircter of ex-(kvernor Steuncnberg, yes
terday morning. It was announced that
en the first ballot after the jury re
tire! the vote stod eight for acquittal
and-four for guilt of some degree of
taurer. The members of the, minority
were" won over one by one before day
lighfl yesterday morning. '
Haywood thanked each one of the
jurors in turn and told them If they
ever;came to Denver there would be
a warm reception lor them at the Hay
wood, home.
E.F. Richardson of counsel for the
defeifse said: "We Have had a fair
triali5 Idaho may indeed be proud of
rs4f."
"Probability of acquittal was freely
predicted after Judge Fremont Wood
read bis charge, which was regarded as
strongly favoring the defense in its in
terpretation of the laws of conspiracy,
circumstantial evidence and the corrob
oration of a confessed accomplice. It
was idso freely predicted that in the
event of Haywood's acquittal, the state
woukj abandon the prosecution of his
associates, Charles II. Moyer, president
of tl federation, and George A. Petti
bone pf Denver. Statements from coun
sel arid from Governor Gooding issued
yesterday dispel this report. Governor
Gooditig said:
"The verdict is a great surprise to
me, and I "believe to all citizens of
Idaho, who have heard or read the evi
dence In the case. I have done my
duty. I have no regret as to any action
I have taken, and my conscience is
clear. As long as God gives me strength
I shall continue my efforts for govern
ment by law and for organized society.
"The state will continue a vigorous
proieeution of Moyer nnd Pettibone and
Adam and of Simpkins when appre
hended. There will be neither hesita
tion nor retreat."
What Orchard Said.
Not the least interesting of the com
ment.) made upon the verdict today was
that of Harry Orchard, the confessed
murderer of StcuncnWg and the one
wwm the state chiefly relied to prove
it charge of a conspiracy among cer
tain members of the Western Federa
tion of Miners, When told' at the state
pnitentinry that Haywood had been ac
quitted, Orchard said:
"Well, I have done my duty. I have
told the truth. I could do nothing more.
I am ready to take any punishment
that may be meted out to me for my
rrime, and the sooner it cornea the bet
ter." Sympathy for Haywood's Mother.
j Haywood's first thought was of his
mother, -Mrs. ttta t armthers, who suf
fered a nervous breakdown Saturday af
ter the jury retired. Leaving the court
room with Attorney Nugent, Haywood
walked to the jail portion or tl:e build
ing, shaking hands as he went with
guards, employes and friends. He bade
farewell to Moyer, who when he heard
the verdict said: "That's good," anil
to Pettibone, whom Darrow described
to the jury as a "sort of 'Happy Hooli-
can, and who called, Give my re
cards to Broadway." Then he walked
lo; St. Luke's hospital and rushed into
lit mother's room. So potent was this
Hie that last night she was up ami
l)out and happy. Next, Haywood went
to the little cottage where his wife and
dauchters have been staying. He had
parted with Attorney Nugent at the
hospital gate, and left alone in Boise
tad to inquire his way. Once home,
Haywood saidr
"I want to thank the people of Boise
for their kindness to my. w ife, my moth
fr, my family and my friends."
There has been widespread sympathy
for Mrs. Carruthers. Senator liorah
(then first apprised of the verdict, said:
1 feel glad, for Haywood's mother."
Haywood's Statement.
Last night Haywood issued a statc
: rnent in which he said:
"I appreciate the support of the work
ing clas extended to us by the work
Jngmen throughout the country.- I hope
t0 be able during the coming year per
sonally to express that appreciation. I
have no feeling nor ill will toward any
person; Ism charitable toward all. My
intention is to go back to Denver nnd
take up my work where I left oil when
I was placed imder arrest.
".As to the outcome of the trial I
have never had any fear and would
bare expressed yesterday the same be
lief I expressed when first arrested, that
y that with a fair trial and an im
partial trial, the verdict would be such
L has been given to the country.
'"Senator Borah treated me must fair
ly and I appreciate it. Judge Wood was
eminently fair to me, and I have ex
tended to 1dm my thanks for his treat
ment of during the ordeal of this
t''l do not in any way blame Hover
fjooiih'ff fr the position he took.
In dosing I wish to express npprceia
:. f the wonderful support given to
bv the presence in the court room
JT the trial of the rcprcsetituth e
of labor, industrial and political organi
zations." ' Little Show Against Haywood.
faniiiel F. Knssel, the senior member
- -f he ps1"1'' ai'1:
' "There nothing against Haywood
"but uTic'" Bn( 'nrm'nw'; nntl w1r"
we came to dovetail the evidence In
the jury room it did not seem somehow
to fit.": '
Samuel D. Oilman said:
"I cannot point out any particular
instruction; that" seemed to decide the
boys on a verdict of not guilty. 1 do
not think that there was any particular
instruction that they debated. I believe
it was the instructions generally. They
could not seem to make head or tail
of them, but were convinced that the
general tone indicated that' the defend
ant should be freed. Some of them
seemed to think the instructions were
very strong against corroborative testi
mony, and some said that they could
not be clear as to the reasonable doubt."
There are manr in Boise who incline
to the opinon that a controlling influ
ence with the jury was their disbelief
of Orchard's testimony. Haywood's
counsel heaped abuse on Orchard and
dilated on the general contempt in
which all classes held such a man as
he.
The attorneys played on the proba
bility that Orchard had been promised
immunity by someone connected with
the prosecution, and Judge Wood in
his charge warned the jury to regard
Orchard's testimony with gTeat cau
tion. ' "'','..
A HOODOO TRAIN
GETS HIT TWICE
Three People Killed the First Time and
One Fatlly Injured the
: Next
Middleboro, Mass., July 2!).Tlie
same freight train which was wrecked
at Campello last night, when three men
were kj lied and four injured, was again
telescoped here at 6:20 this morning
by a passenger train which was run
niug empty to Buzzard's Bay. Five men
in the freight caboose escaped by jump
ing through the windows and received
comparatively slight injuries. Conduc
tor Noah Sargent of Boston on the pas
senger train received probably fatal in
juries by being thrown against a seat.
The caboose was smashed to kindling.
Trartio was delayed three hours.
The first accident occurred when a
special train consisting of an engine and
a single passenger ear struck - the rear
of a freight train standing under the
Plain street bridge in Campello on the
Plymouth division of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad. The
special is said to have been going at
high speed and it struck the freight
with sufficient force to telescope the
caboose and three or four other cars.
Neither Engineer Hathaway or Fire
man Ridley of the passenger engine had
time to jump and both lost their lives
in the wreck, w hile Conductor Frazer of
the freight, who was in the caboose, was
crushed to death.
. Three other trainmen who were on
the freight received severe injuries and
were taken to the Brockton hospital. At
the hospital the physicians said the in
juries of two of the men, named Gor
don and Dutes, were serious.
The passenger car which was attached
to the special engine is said to have
carried no passengers. . '
The wreckage took fire immediately
after the collision and an alarm was
turned in on the' fire denarfmfftt wires,
hut the firemen found the Muz of lit
tle consequence.

FIRE SLAYS
19 PEOPLE
New York Tenement House
Scene of Horror
FOLLOWING EXPLOSION
That and Great Fire at Coney Island
Are Laid to Machinations of the
"Black Hand.". A Hotel Fire
Today.
New York, July 20. The "Black
Hand" Is held responsible for the tene
ment house fire at 222 Christie street
early today, in which 19 persons lost
their lives and about 30 more were in
jured. To the same organization the
police attribute yesterday' are at Con
ey Island, which caused a loss estimated
at $1,500,000. it is probable that the
list of dead in the tenement fire may
exceed 19. Seversl or the injured will
die, and more bodies may . be found in
the ruins. ,
The blaze was characterized by a ter
rific- panic, women and children being
trampled and pushed from the fire es
capes. The lire started from an explo
sion in the basement, supposedly a
bomb. Fearing vengeance of the black
Hand, few residents of the , distnot
raised a hand to aid those, in the burn
ing building. None of the dead have
been identified. They are largely women
and children.
The horror was a repetition of the
periodical blaze that Bweeps the densely
populated foreign section of the city
and that is almost invariably attended
with panic and death. The' wrecked
building was six stories above a grocery
store basement. The explosion tore out
the front of the building and the fire
that followed caught the twenty fami
lie, numbering about one hundred per
son. Most of the dead and injured are
Italians.
A passerby was attracted by the
sound of the explosion which apparent
ly occurred in the basemen. The whole
front of the building w ith the flimsy
fire-escapes fell into the street and from
the sagging floors a score of half -awakened
people dropped into . the street.
Many of these were badly hurt but
they were more fortunate than those
who remained in the building, for the
(lames soon broke out and the place w
soon wrapped in the fiery element. Po
lice and firemen tried to rescue the im
prisoned people, but most of those who
were able to do so jumped into the
street. Of the dead and dying, most are
women and children. The strong bore
down the weak in their efforts to es
cape. A NEW SPECTACLE
ON CONEY ISLAND
Great Fire Sunday Morning Destroyed
Seven Blocks of the Amusement
Zone and Twenty Small
Hotels.
New York, July 29. -Coney Inland, the
playground of New York's millions, was
visited by a disastrous fire early yester
day, and seven blocks in the amusement
zone were completely destroyed. Tilyou's
steeple chase park, and nearly twenty
small hotels were wiped out and for a
time the flames threatened Luna l'ark
and Dreamland and the scores of smaller
places which fringe the water's edge for
a mile. A lucky shift of the wind to
seaward aided the firemen and probably
saved the whole picturesque area, but not
until a million dollars damage had been
done. Three persons were injured, one
of them, (iott fried Messerli, a fireman,
probably fatally.
The alarms of fire woke np dozing
Coney Island with a great start and al
most at once Surf avenue was jammed
with excited freaks and frolliekers, ehor
n a girls, simke charmers, animal trainers
performers, amusement employes all
the miscellaneous population of the is
land in fact. Clothed in a state of ter
ror nnd Jittle else, thousands lied
through the streets while the roar of the
flame could be heard from one end of
the island to the other. It seemed as
though nothing could save the places on
the island from destruction and hun
dreds of the inhabitant' began to re
move their household effects into the
streets. An order from the police to
clear the hotel near Steeple Chase Fark
wn cpiite unnecessary for the patrons of
these places had tumbled ot of bued nt
the ftr-t alarm and tied. The Steeple
Chase l'ark hotel, one of the first to
burn, housed a hundred persons, all of
whom got away safely.
The Coney Island ixstoftiee was dam
aged. Estimates of the total loss by the
how managements are somewhat in ex
cess of the figure set by the police nnd
the fire departments. The fire chief said
that "over $200,000' would be a con
servative estimate of the damage.
HUNDREDS RUSH
FROM BURNING HOTEL
Two ?klen and a Woman Among the
Missing at Burning of Long Beach
Hotel Today.
New York, July 20. The big Long
Beach hotel at Long Reach, Long Island,
was totally destroyed by fire this morn
ing and six hundred guests narrowly
escaped with their live. None of the
guest saved their trunks and few man
aged to get to the beach with more than
their-night-clothe. Two men and a
woman are misilig.
The flame are still raging and every
habitable place at thi- resort is threat
ened. The damage already i estimated
at $800,000. The cottages adjoining the
hotel shared the fate of the main struc
ture. The board w alk U a Hume and
the railroad station will probably go
next.
State Senators McCarren and ' Rey
nolds did heroic work rescuing women
who were hAnined,in by fire and dazed
by smoke. A pile of 200 trunks was
placed 100 feet from the blaze, where
they were thought to be safe, but as
the roof fell a tongue of flames leaped
ouk and licked them up.
SINGING" AT REVERE.
Loss of $25,000 Last Night Was of In
cendiary Origin. .
Revere, Mass., July 29. What is sup
posed to have been an incendiary fire,
swept Ocean avenue for several hundred
feet at Revere beach late, last night,
burning a vacant amusement resort
known as the Grottft, and seven dwelling
houses, causing a loss estimated at $25,
000. The fire Btarted in ths Grotto, for
merly known as Old Wonderland, owned
by C, A. Branwtn of Revere, and which
has been vacant the last year. A hot
air explosion delayed the work of the
firemen, and the lames soon spread to
the adjoining property on the west aide
of Ocean avenue. The flame were
checked as they were taking hold of the
lockers of the state bath house, where
only a slight damage was done.
EDGEMEEE INN CONE.
The Old East End Hotel at Hull, Mass.,
' Burned. ; .' .
Hull, Mass., July 29. The Edgmere
Inn, formerly the East End hotel, was
destroyed bv fire yesterday, causing a
total loss of $25,000, of which $15,000
will full upon Edward Ci. Knights of
Hull and B. C. Wilder of Hingham, the
owners of the building, and most of
its furniture, and $10,000 upon Miss Ad
elaide Drynan, the proprietress, , who
lost all her bedding, table linen and a
considerable portion of personal proper
ty. She had no insurance, but the
building was insured for $13,000.
The hotel accommodated about fifty
guests and was well filled. Although
most of the guests had finished break
fast, several were obliged to escape in
their night-clothes and saved none of
their lelongings. The fire caught from
a wooden ash barrel behind a building
used as a kitchen. The main lody of
the hotel was on one side of the kitchen,
while on the other was an annex known
as the East End terrace. The kitchen
burned first and the other two buildings
followed in turn.
YOUNG BOY ADAITS
WICKED ACTIONS

land Railroad. Is Held Under Bail
ot $1,000 For Trial

Too many "dime novels" is given as
the cause for the rash act of the boy.
When arrested he first denied having
anything to 4o with the affair, but later
when liiislin promised not to tell his
father he told the whole story. He said
he had resd in. a novel just how the train
wrecker ditched the car and he wished
to try it. He placed three of the sticks
across the raila and then put one across
the tree and at right angle to them, the
end toard..the direction from which the
train was expected, touching the ground
so that when the pilot struck it the en
gine would slide up onto the pile.
After doing this he hid In the busies
and waited to see what happened. When
he saw the men on a freight train re
move the ties he went back and replaced
them. He then went home, as he said he
did not want to see anyone killed.

CHANGES
IN PASTORATE
Rev. Mr. Kinzie Preaches
Last Sermon Here
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. A- E, Braisted of Antrim, N. H.,
Accepts Call to Church and Will
Come the First of Sep-'
tember.
The Rev, Wesley A. Kinzie closed
yesterday his pastorate of the First
Baptist church, in accordance with his
leter of resignation tendered several
months ago, and will assume the pastor
ate of a church in Lynn, Mass. At the
same time that they reluctantly said
farewell to the retiring pastor, the
church members were pleased to receive
the acceptance of their call extended to
the Rev, William E. Braisted of Antrim,
N. .11., thus securing a continuity of
leadership, although the new minister
will not assume his active work until
the first of Septemlier.
Not only the Baptist church but the
community will regret to have the Rev,
Mr. Kinzie sever his connections here.
He lias been located in Barre nearly
five years, coming from Bristol, Yt.,
and in that time has been very suc
cessful! in church work, as well as ex
erting an influence for good in the vari
ous uplifting activities of the city. lie
has been an earnest worker for the
material good, as well as the spiritual
welfare, of his church, and the fact that
he leave the city with the large debt
of the society wiped out testifies to his
energy, enthusiasm, and unselfish devo
tion. The society is able to welcome its
new pastor, untrainmeled by financial
burdens. Perhaps the best tribute to
him is contained in the letter which
was read to hiin before a large congre
gation yesterday. The letetr reads:
Tribute from the Church.
"Our dear pastor: -
"The four years and more that ymi
haveTiiinistered to us. as our under
shepherd have sped so quickly we can
scarcely realize their flight; but looking
back over the past and considering bow
much has been accomplished, vve feel to
praise God for what he hath wrought
through our labors together.
"If it be the will of God that you
sever your connection wtth us to go to
another people we ought not to lie un
willing that you follow His leading, but
the love and esteem you have merited
ls")th in the church and congregation
render superfluous all expression of re
gret on our part at your doing so.
"We greatly appreciate the untiring
real, the undaunted courage and the never-failing
kindness, nnd, , cheerfulness
with which all your tebors have heen
performed. The wiping out of the old
debt upon our church, the improvements
made and the work maintained near
witness to your love for Christ and His
work m this place, while your generosity
to the poor also testifie to your loyalty
to Him in helping the "least of these.'
"Hie cause of temperance in our city
ha always found in you a staunch sup
porter, one whose sentiments have
found expression in no uncertain voice,
while in matters civil and moral you
have ever shown yourself true to God
and votir own manhood.
"We know that vour work has leen
constantly supplemented by the quiet,
tactful and allectionate co-operation of
Mrs. Kinzie, and especially in her work
with her cla of girl in the Sunday
school has she shown herself worthy
of appreciation a workman who need
eth not lie ashamed.
"While reluctantly we suffer the tic
to bo severed and permit you to go
where you liolieve the Master calls you,
we must ever claim the privilege of
retaining both yourself and wife in the
tender bond of love and remembrance,
snd our prayers will go up for you, a
we feel gure yours will for us, that He
whoso we nil are and whom we serve
will abundantly bless both your labor
and our in the saving of many souls
for Hi kingdom.
- The letter is signed by E. M. Tayntor,
William McDonald and .Mrs. t. ti. Kog
ers in behalf of the church.
Mr. Kinzie responded briefly to the
letter of appreciation, calling upon the
people to continue in obedience to the
will of God and Ix-speaking for his suc
cessor the same loyalty they had given
linn.
Mr. Braistcd's Letter of Acceptance.
The Rev. W. F:. Braisted' letter of
acceptance stated that he would proba
bly come to Barre about the first of
September. He is now pnstor of the
Baptist church in Antrim, X. H. Prior

inur a family of threo children. His
letter to the church was as follows,-
"To the First Baptist Church of Barre,
Yt.:
"Dear Friends: After much thought

honorably released from my contract
with the church of which I am now

ABRUPT END

Vermont Base Ball League on
Last Legs
BURLINGTON DROPPED OUT
Leaves But Barre-Montpelier and Platts-
burg, Who Will Probably Give
Up the Struggle After Tomor
row's Game.
Local baae ball followers probably,
saw their last league game Saturday,
when Barre-Mortpelier trounced Bur
lington, as the latter team disbanded
after the game, leaving only the Twins
and Plattsburg to look mournfully over
the remains of three leagues in one Bum
mer. The patronage of the games in
Burlington was so slim that the man
agers there did not feel warranted in
keeping the team together any longer,
and several of the players have already.
hiked to other quarters, Manager. Tom
Hayes to New London in tha Connecti
cut league, Collins and Gardner to the
Maine state league and Collison to Con
necticut. Barre-Montpelier went to Plattsburg
last night and will play two , games
there, one this afternon and the other
tomorrow, after which it is likely that
a funeral service will be held and the
players disperse to their homes. ' Being
far in the lead, Barre-Montpelier can
thus claim three championships all in
one season, that of the ill-starred; orig
inal New Hampshire atate league, again
over the revamped organization under
the same name and finally over tnis
Vermont league.
Thus successful on the-diamond, the
local management has not been" so roll
ing in weaith a to find themselves even
with the world at the present . time.
They had hoped that by finishing the
season's schedule they might be able
to land on their feet by September 7,
but the flunking of Burlington Saturday,
night, following a similar action by
Rutland a week ago, has left them in
the hole, as it will not be possible to
continue the league.
There have been several things con
tributing to the failure of fase ball this
year, for it has been nothing else but
complete failure from . the financial
Standpoint. Among them is the lack of
interest displayed in games played at
the start of the season with such cities
a Manchester, Concord, Laconia, Frank
lin and other New Hampshire cities.
-Thqje w aSjVeally nothing in common be
tween the team's and conseonently noth-,-ing
to draw out the crowJ.
Then the weather man did his best
to give a knockout at the start of the
race and succeeded so well that the local
management was thrown ' into the holo
at the outset and since then it has not
been able to climb out. It might be
stated, too, that the season was too
long for the Vermont appetite. Com
mencing early in May 1 and running
through into Septemlier is too long a
bite for local base ball people. Pecu
liarly local conditions prevailed in other
cities of the circuit, which caused the
league to be a failure and thus threw
the wet blanket over the aspirations of
Barre-Montpelier.
It is not possible to state the exact
amount of debts owhI by the local litan
ngenvent, but it is probably in the vi
cinity of $1,500.
