COMCT DIES IN FIRE (Continued from First Page ) the new- wine w seriously damaged where It adjoined the main build I dr. A portion of the front wall has fallen In and the re mainder is In such condition that It can not be used for rebuilding. fcViat White la Avnllnhle. The only part of the prlion building proper that can be used for any purpose is the east wing, containing a cell room :0x50 feet, with extra high celling, and apartments for the deputy warden and family. The convicts will be housed in this celt room uutll other accommodations are provided. A quantity of blankets and several loads of fine straw were taken to the room this morning under direction of Acting Governor Savage. The blankets were taken from the storehouse of the Ne braska National guard and the acting governor has assured the prison author ities thst more will be furnished if needed. Until this afternoon there was some dif ference of opinion as to Just where the Cre originated. Some reported it was first seen in the warden's kitchen, others that it started In a front room and the theory was advanced by some that the fire had Its origin in the cell houre. Msbl Walrliman'a l)lcorr. The flames were first discovered by George Frollch, a night watchman in the employ of the Lee Broom and Duster com- j pany, which holds a contend for prison ' labor. He was In the main building just above the office when he made the discov- . ery and about the same time Warden Davis was attracted to the peine, by the same 1 odor. The flames then were raging In the small pantry room and were spreading rapidly over the kitchen adjoining. The oc cupants of that portion of the building were at once aroused and an alarm of fire was turned Into the prison fire fighting depart ment. Several guards manned the primitive hose cart and soon had a hose running from the pond south of the penitentiary yard over the slcckade and onto the scat of the fire. The flame.- had gained too great headway to be subdued and an alarm was turned In for the city department, which responded an hour later with a hose wagon and an engine. With these reinforcements the guards and the firemen from the city soan had three streams playing Into the Ore, which by that time had spread over the en tire second floor of the central portion of the building, up to the roof and over the cell house. Warden Davis directed the work and was assisted by Former Deputy Welch, who was placed in command of the guards. The roof of the cell house burned like tinder and th5 flames were soon eating their way down along the woodwork to the cells. As soon as it was seen that the cell house could not be saved orders were given to liberate all the prisoners and these were executed in ample tlmo to allow- all the convicts to escape. .After they had left the houte a guard was sent through to see thu no one remained and he reported later that be had visited every cell without finding anyone. Removing Official Hrcordi. In the rx can time Warden Davis and a corps of assistants wire removing the offi cial records from the office. The flames Rain or Shine. The station agent is on duty. On his exact communication of train orders depends thousands of lives, and millions of dollars in property, each day. In his haste he runs out in the rain of the snow hatless and unprotected. Then comes me sequel bron chitis, or some other disease of the respiratory or gans. The most effective remedy for bronchial or pulmonary disease is Doctor Pierce'. Golden Medical Discovery. Almost aii remedies pre- acnDea tor such diseases contain opium or some narcotic which soothes by stupe faction. "Golden Medical Discov ery " contains neither narcotic nor alcohol. It stops coughs by cunng their cause. It heals weak lunjrs, builds up wasted tissues, and promotes the health of every or gan of the body. "I im a railroad agent," writes I. B. fetipki, Esq., of Barclay CHire County Kans., "and four years ago ray work keeping me in a wina room and stepping out frequently icto the cold air gave me bronchitis, which became chronic sua deep-eitrd Doctor failed to reach mr ease and advited me lo try a higher air Tout. ibrtnnatelr for me a trie ml adviaed toe to try Dr Pierce'i medicines, t commenced taking your Golden Medical Discovery ' and by the time 1 had taken the fcrst bottle t was better and after utiur four battles my cough wu entirely rone 1 hare found no neceaut for seeking another climate " Dr, Pierce's Pleasant Pellets regulate the stomach, liver and bowels. were gradually working down to this room and it w-aa afire five minutes after the warden completed bis work. Telephonic communication with the city was cut off and from that time It was simply a question of saving the east end. The firemen con centrated all their efforts in this direction and at 4 o'clock had the flames well under control, but this was uot until after they had completely gutted the officers' Mvlng apartments, the library, the cooking rooms, laundry and cell bouse. Lieutenant Governor Savage was notified by telephone at the Lincoln hotel of the impending dangtr at the penitentiary and he Immediately gave orders for the Lin coln company of the National guard to go to the scene Twenty-five members of the company were already at the armory and a special train was standing on the Bur lington tracks only two blocks away. When tbe word was given the men fell in, marched to the train and thirty minutes later were stationed at the various posi tions around the prison. Troona Cut OB Barnpe. The prison yard is surrounded by a high stockade on three sides and the main peni tentiary building on the fourth side. The troops were drawn up In front of the burn ing building and thus cut off the only pos sible way of escape. Tbe house and senate committees on public lands and buildings will visit tbe wreck tomorrow. George Pflueger. the convict who was burned to death, was sent up from Cum ing county, having received a life sen tence for killing his wife. Senator Oleson of Cuming county helped to defend the prisoner at the time he was convicted, and on account of his peculiarities he remem bers blm quite well. "He was a man probably 50 years old," said the senator, "and there is no doubt but that he was Insane, Some time in IS?: or 1S93, he returned from a trip to Iowa and went out to his home, some ten miles northwest of Wlsner, and shot his wife. They bad not lived together for some time, Pflueger believing that she had been un true to htm. Previous to this time, how ever, he had been adjudged insane by the commissioners of Cuming county, but later it was thought he bad regained pos session of his mind. Shortly after he had killed his wife he became despondent and refused to talk and from that day until the time of his death be had never been known to utter a single word. Even as his attorneys, we could not get a word from him, and during the course of his trial and even when sentenced, he refused to speak. The silence, I understand, has been maintained by him since his Imprison ment, nearly ten years ago, all efforts to make him talk or work having been in vain." TRIAL OF ALBERT SHENKLE QUICKLY.

March l.-Gturded by four companies of state militia to pro tect him from a mob determined on lynch ing. Albert Shtnkle. who, on December id last, crlmina'ly assaalted the 16-j car-old daughter of Charles H. Ciller of Carrollton, was early this mornlag taken from the Springfield county jail, put on board a spe cial train and brought to Carrollton. Through streets lined with silent spectators he was hurried to the court bouse. An hour after the arrival of the train Shenkle had pleaded guilty, bees promptly given an In determinate sentence by Judge Owen Thompson and was on bis way to the south ern Illinois penitentiary at Chester. Although threats of lynching had been freely made by the citizens of Carrollton, and, although tbe streets and grounds around tbe Jail and court house had been patrolled by an armed mob determined apon using summary measures, eer since It was announced that Shenkle would be brought here for trial, there was no disorder at tending Shenkle's arrival and departure. Apparently nearly tbe whole population of tbe town was gathered around the depot and along the streets leading to the court house but the troops, forming a cordon around the train as soon as It stopped and surrouudlng Shenkle when the latter, heavily shackled and accompanied by baerlff Conley. alighted from the train, prevented any hostile demonstration.

March 1. tSrjeclal Telerram 1 An Inquest was held at the penitentiary! this afternoon over the remains of Pflueger end after listening to the testimony of a dozen witnesseu the jury returned a unani mous verdict finding that the man came to Ms death by suffocation and exonerating the prison officials from blame. The offi cials were commended for their efforts in attempting to get 'all the convicts out of the building and particular stress was laid on the Pflueger case, because a man had twice been sent into tbe cell house to see that this man had safely escaped. It had been reported that the man bad . been seen In the prison yard after the con victs had been taken out of the building, but the Jury was unable to substantiate this report Several witnesses gave hearsay testimony along this line, but no one was found who would testify before the jury that he had seen him outside the cell bouse, Coroner Graham thought the man became dazed by the smoke and fire and tbe ex citement and wandered aimlessly into the cell where he was found dead. Tue Jury took this view and rendered a verdict ac cordingly The testimony brought out the fact that a man had been sent into the cell house twice to see If all the convicts had escaped, with instructions to look especially for Pflueger, who has never been considered responsible for his actions. fleprr.en tn 1 1 r Ilrortn nt Home.

Marca 1. (Special Telegram.) Tbe prison authorities, this morning con cluded the fire originated from a defect in the electric wiring. There had been no fire in the kitchen stores since 7 o'clock tn tht evening and the room was not occupied after that time. Warden Darls passed through the room at 10 o'clock and noticed no indication of fire at that time.
