Pirrsm uo. Ra., February 14.—Yester day's ws ion of the trial of discretion- ■=: y i operator George M. Irwin was the 1 , e A and most sensational that has ever occurred in this case. The THREE OF THEM TAKEN OUT DEAD defense continued to call witnesses fr- in *he opening of court until the c, 1 of nis report and every inch of g. • ::id <>n either side was fought with bull dog tenacity. The constant wran- gie between counsel several times cora- pelled the court to admonish the bellig- erants. The star witness for the de- f ‘-e H'c Mr. Martin a young broker, fi- .) W.\ York city. Ills testimony proved that Irwin was an unusually E • vy speculator uud a siegularly sue- ei- ■ ful trader. It showed a protlt for the pool king of from 0.13 to $60,000 Muvk- strike and that three mil- b -n Nashols of wheat were h m iled by i ; .'m 'fjr Irwin in a period of two days. Another feature was the attempt of the defense to bring out the “n-nl pros- eeui i.s"of I t win, for the purpose of "li' g the cost on tiiecham"erof com merce committee.■’ as Mr. Ferguson X>ut it. I'erhaps the most sensational part of the morning hearing was Mr. Fergu son's attack ou the district attorney. In a healed argument over a technical po'it of law Mr. I't rgu .on sliooa his finger violently at Mr. ilaytn.iker and vehemently charged the district attor ney with violation of his oath of olfiee if he insisted in pressing the point. 8 NEW ASSOCIATION FORMED.

Two alarms were sounded. The firemen found a brisk fire burning and clouds of smoke were pouring out of the lower windows. The building, a wooden structure, was four stories high. After lighting the fire for three-quar ters of an hour the flames suddenly ap peared through the roof and almost im mediately the building collapsed like Hn e K'tf sbell. The front wall on Mun- roe street fell into the street and a side wall fell into an alley way toward an adjoining building. A dozen firemen were buried in the debris in the alley way. The flames were dangerously near the spot where the men lay buried and all the available streams of water v.vre brought to bear on this point. A few minutes later three bodies were pulled out, placed in the ambu lance and taken to the hospital. Then a hose wagon backed up and another fireman was placed inside and taken to the hospital. The work of rescuing went on rapidly and in half an hour or more eleven firemen had been taken out. Three of them were dead or died in a few minutes after being taken out. WITH STRONG RESISTANCE. Tiie Gold Bond Koeolutlou Before tLe Houwc I'mlur a Special Order. Washington, February It.—While the linusc committee on rules has held no meeting regarding the gold bond resolution, it is understood that it will make a special order for today and limit tiie iebate so that a vote in all probability may be taken before »d- journnusni. The bond resolution will meet with a determined resistance in the Louse. Some of tin: eastern republicans say it will receive a larger republican vote than wai cast on Tuursday last for the Springer administration bill. The le- publicaus who oppoy-'l that measure differed JiY.rn their eastern bivThrett — 1 and insist tliul tiie bond bill will be no American To!,V stronger on their side of the chamber than the admiiiistrat on measure was. 'i'lie administration bill was defeated by a majority of twenty-seven. The bond bill may secure enough votes to overcome this majority, but munv of its opponents incline to the contrary '■elief. The vote in any event, it is be lieved, will be very close. THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR SPLIT. New Oi gsuir t.lmi 1 uriued as u Kcbuli o7 the 'liners* Conference. Columbus, ()., February 14.—From the best information obtainable it se* a.-, almas' -urta 1 1 that the commit tee of Kni, i , of Labor miners will be unable to re; *h any agreement in the formation of pians to be submitted to the convention regarding their future attitude t'.*'-' :; rd t* •* general assembly cf the 1! :i lit gt Labor, and that after all the convention will have to settle the matt r for itself. The standing of the several members of the committee have been given and they still main tain their rc pretive positions. There is a strong in pic sb n however, that the sec< si-.ni, -, will finally carry their point and a new organization will be formed. A dispatch was received from Pitts burg last night Mating that district assembly No. Knights of la bor, had been suspended for insubordination and would go ov w to Mcllryde s n-w order. This information hud tiie effect of adding rot; i 1 ; ble strength to the movement to establish the new o: ter. Knight of Labor C. IL Marti*; stated that district No. 3 was comjmsed of fully tin •ee thousand members and also was one of the first in the order. The charges of President A. A. Adams against the National mine workers olliciah alleging c< I'uption in the settlement of the win r sLike last June, have fallen fiat, nub he has injured his eh tee- for prefei ient of the National miners a oeiution. Later: At a meeting which lasted un til 1 o'clock thi., mornieg the Knight > of Labor miners decided to secede from the general assembly and form a new organization.
