>T>\S GIVE LIVES. Heroism ?f Sisters Marks Tragic Cob flagration at San Antonio?AI4 most Incredible Courage, * v San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 30.?Sev en persons perished and three were in .jured in a fire which destroyed St John's Catholic orphanage here ear!: today. One boy is missing and be lieved to be dead. The dead: Mother Mary of th< y Cross, who was Katherine Rossiter, 5] ? years old, a native of Dublin, Ire land: Mother Mary Frances Pasteuj (Sylvia Sims Pasteur), 65 years old . 4 native of Lyons, France; Sister Mar: Leacadia (Catherine Nolan) 35 yean old, native of Dublin, Ireland; Sistei Mary Peter Claver (Catherine Sle vien), 29 years old, native of Dublin Ireland; Sister Mary Monica- (Barthz Montez), 60 years old, native of Chi huahua, Mexico; George Yorke, or phan 12 years old, Francis O' Brien orphan 2 years old, Chas. Matlock an orphan, is missing and thought t< * be dead. Sister Maiy Kostka, ( Farrell). native of Kildare, Ireland suffered a broken back and will probably die. Two employes were injured. The origin of the fire has not beer determined, but it is supposed to have been due t<? defective wiring. The nuns gave their lives to save their charges. The death of Mothei Mary of the Cross was particular^ heroic. She had come down from hei room'in the orphanage* to the chape! on the first floor when the Are broke - x ml ; 7 A ynr, oui. mere, mu&icnug tiit? i^uumtu she attempted to count them anc ^ learned that Francis O'Brien, a baby "was missing. Without hesitation she went bacfc upstairs, found the boy and slrugglec to a window with him in her arms "When about to be rescued by firemer who were mounting ladders she was * f overcome, fell back and she and th( little boy were seen no more until # their blackened and charred bodies were taken from the ruins. The feat of the sisters and theii courage became almost unbelievable as details of the fire developed. The three sisters who lived left th* falling building in order to lead rescued children away from the dangei zone. Many of the orphans were babies, and how the 'sisters were able to awaken so many of the sleepy little ones and get them out of the building is remarkable. GIEL KILLED AT ALLENDALE. j Miss Bath Myrick Rob Orer by C. & MS C. Train. Allendale, Oct. 31.?Miss Ruth Myrick, the 16-year-old daughter of Mr Tt T? A-TvriMr rvf this was rilT] over at 7.30 this morning by the eastfcound C. & W. C. passenger train, and both of her legs severed from the body, and as a result of the accidenl died a few hours later, j It seems that Miss Myrick was walking on the track in front of her home and in her effort to free herself of danger from the approaching train, stum' bled and was caught beneath the wheels before the engineer could stoj iiis train. The untimely death of this fai] young girl, just budding into womanhoed, has cast a gloom over the en tin community.

President J. A. Banks and all th old officers were re-elected at the an rmai ~f>etine: held in the Richlan county court house last night. Mi Taylor's rf*sohition calW fourth muc discussion, a:nl a of a ch ir. i the rules of the societv so as to !>rjn th-* fair to a itjnrr- mci: m ana gressive method was pointed out by member after member. That part of - the Taylor resolution calling for the postponing of the election of officers was finally voted down- and the resolution as adopted read as follows: "Whereas, it is the sense of this _ | meeting tnat tne state AgricuHuidi and Mechanical society of South Caroj lina, has not kept pace with the past , and present development of agriculture in South Carolina, it is believed that > the usefulness of this society can be I greatly increased by reorganization . and revision of the constitution and r by-laws to such an extent as will permit of the adoption of modem and projr gressive methods in the conducting 3 affairs of the society. r "Now. therefore, be it resolved, That . a committee of five memo ens 01 iae society be el-ected from the floor of l this meeting to look into the constitu. tion, rules and by-laws of the said . society, and all matters connected with /or in any way affecting the welfare of the society, and that said committee ) report its findings and recommenda_ tions, together with drafts of such amendments and by-laws as it shall | . see fit, to an adjourned meeting of the society to be held upon the call of the president during the corn show. i "Be it further resolved, That this ? resolution is not intended to reflect in j any way on any member or members - - * - ^ ; of the society engaged in me umua&v- j * ment of the affairs of the society at the j r present time." i DID BLEASE ORDER ARREST? ? , Gilreath, of Greenville, PHts Question I I Up to Gorernor?The Reply. i Columbia, November 1.?Ex-Sheriff j ^ J. D. Gilreath, who was arrested at I Grenville charged with assisting T. U. j . Vaughn to escape from the Greenville i jail, the case having been dropped be5 cause of insufficient evidence, today x 1 ' J 'tnt.Ai.nn* PIOQCO aSlfinP : teiegrapueu w*ciuui uivuuv ?~ i him if he ordered his arrest and the ? governor replied that be would not answer if his telegram would be used against any Democratic nominee. Mr. ?i Gilreath wired as follows: "Did you order iny aTrest. Kindly wire at my > expense." Replying, Governor Biease wired Mr. Gilreath as follows: "Your wire. Pri J mary obligations, in my opinion, bind Mali nartifts. The violation of the oath " in one instance relieves all others ' therefrom. If my wire is to be used against a Democratic nominee, I shall remain silent" It will be recalled that Hendrix Rector, sheriff-elect of Greenville, arrest: ed Mr. Gilreath, and the latter's friends are so indignant over the matter that they have placed an independ ent candidate for sheriff in the field . against Mr. Rector, who won the Deml ocratic nomination for sheriff over Mr. Gilreath by a majority of sixteen votes. , Mr. Rector is a Blease man and Mr. ; Gilreath an anti-Bleaseite. t THE YICE PRESIDENT SLEEPS IX HIS TOMB 9 ___ " Simple Services Over Body of James S.
