Ithaca. N. Y., Dec. 7.—Five men are dead, two fatally injured and a number seriously hurt as the resn't of a tire that started at 3:30 o'clock this morning, which entirely destroyed the Chi Psl fraternity house at Cornell University. The dead men are: encf J. Pope, who were fatally Injured, tried to run the gauntlet of tire in the halls. When they reached the doorway they fell unconscious. The skin had been burned from their flesh and blood covered their naked bodies. A1 the students managed to escapo except W. II. Nlcliolls, who ■wan caught in the llames and was burned to a crisp.

It is understood to be the government's intention to seek to dissolve the "working agreement" between the Hantaan and Gould lines, just as the Northern Securities merger was dis solved. One was the Penrose resolution requiring the president to send in infornuition regarding the discharge of the hegro troops of tiie Twenty-fifth infantry, and the other was the Foraker resolution directing the secretary of war to transmit all information in the possession of his department on the same subject.

The east bound Black Diamond express struck a Wllkesbarre firm's delivery wagon, demolishing it. The driver was fatally injured, dy.ng a short time after reaching a Wilkesbarre hospital, and both horses were killed. A short time ago Frank Bistlder. of this city, was killed at the same crossing, and there have been several narrow escapes there within the past year. The crossing is near No. 14 breaker, and a clear view of the track is frequently shut off by long lines of cars. The view of the track was not much impeded last evening, and it Is thought the driver misjudged the distance and speed of the train, after having seen it. Another promised investigation which is expected to afford sensational disclosures is that of the so called lumber trust. G. R. Sailor, Swissvllle, Pa., burned about hands and face. Rule Over Army Involved R. R. Power, of Atlanta. Ga., burned about head and hands, badly cut. Mr. Foraker read at length the testimony furnished by the war department. He said it appeared that murder, misprison of felony and perjury had been committed by some one, three crimes for the punishment of any one of which the constitution secured to every man the right of trial before punishment. He did not regard it from the standpoint of a race question. The right of the president to dismiss a man from the army was also involved, he said. If the president could dismiss a man he could dismiss a company, a regiment, a brigade and, in fact, on the same theory, the whole army. Raesela calmly wnlked to the door, locked it and tossed the key from the window. Then turning to IiIr brother he drew a long UnilV iron; his pocket and coolly rem ;i iked: W. W.

The flre started In the kitchen and quickly spread through the big fraternity house, which was formerly the Fiske-McGraw mansion, and which was valu'ed at $200,000. Volunteer firemen responded to the call, but so rapidly had the flames spread that it was with difficulty that any of the students were rescued. The thr6e firemen were killed] by collapsing walls. Peter Polonik Escapes Car yv'hile the m Dther and a young brother and sister of the two men watched from an adjoining room the brothers fought. Their mother tried to separate them, but they brushed her aside. Andrew at length gave his brother an ugly slash across the arm. Raesela fell back, struggled to his feet and sent his knife deep into his brother's groin. As Andrew staggered Raesela plunged the knife twice more into the wounded man. and Train. The young man was seen once at a window of a room on the top floor shortly after the flames broke out, and Is supposed to have attempted tij escape by the stairway and to have been overcome. • Hit by a Traction Car He Was Thrown Close to a Moving Train—When E.

Twenty-seven In Building. LACKAWANNA FACES ANOTHER MYSTERY tious with railroads wholly out of the line of their duty. Indeed, it is saitl that two senators, if not three, may be regarded as fairly on the road to prosecution by the department of justice a,nd that the government will be able to recover from certain railroad corporations many millions of acres wrongfully transferred in recent years. Have Medical Attend- Senator Beveridge introduced a bill to amend the meat inspection act by requiring that the cost of inspection shall be paid by the packers. Another amendment requires that the date of inspection and packing or canning shall be placed upon each package. Ephrlam h. McCracken, of Wyoming street. Wilkesbarre, was the victim of the accident, and the outfit belonged to the tinware firm of W. B. Bertels & Son. MqCracken had been deliver.ng goods Hi lUU dtj all afternoon and was on his way home. AVhether he saw the train and decided he had time to get across the track or not is problematical. The horses were across tbe track and the wagon on it when the engine of the Black Diamond crashed into it. The wagon became fast to the front of the engine and was carried several hundred yards down the track, while the horses were carried along a short distance nnd then sent into a ditch. Whan the train was stopped Mc- Cracken was found on the driver's seat of the wagon, which was on the pilot of the engine. He was removed as soon as possible and temporary treatment was given him by some of the First Aid men at No. 14 colliery. He was unconscious. He was placed on the train and removed to Wllkesbarre, where Dr. Weaver and an ambulance awaited. The man died a short time after being admitted to the hospital. McCracken was about 30 years old and is survived by a widow. a iicc antl Left Car, Peter Polonik, n foreigner living in Upper Pittston, was in a series of accidents yesterday afternoon and the way ho escaped with his life, receiving only slight injuries, convinced those who witnessed the accidents that he bears a charmed existence. It is said by some that Polon.k was very reckless in stepping in front of a trolley car, which led to his being thrown close to a moving freight train and then heavily to the ground. A deep gash in his scalp is his most severe injury. Then as Andrew fell dying to the floor Raesela l«uped to the fire escape and disappeared. Screams of the fren*led mother brought the police. Andrew died as they entered the room. Jeremiah Samuel, of West Kcrunton, Hied In Hospital, It Is Alleged, From Rent! iig. Twenty-seven students were sleeping in the fraternity house when the flames were discovered. H. S. De- Camp. a student, was aroused by smoke. He found the halls in flames, and barely escaped by sliding down the side of the house on a rain pipe. The others were shut off from escapa in their rooms. Those who escaped jumped from their windows. Jeremiah Samuel, aged 31 years, of W|pst Scranton, died Inst evening In VVJest Side hospital, under mysterious circumstance-i. It is believed that he was the victim of a brutal assault committed last Saturdny night. He salu that he hail bean beaten but he would give no other information. Senator Morgan addressed the senate on his resolution looking to giving the Panama canal commission control of the railway. Chairman Knapp Silent. VERDICTS RENDERED IN COUNTY COURT Chairman Knapp of the interstate commerce commission would not discuss any phase of the question and seemed surprised it had become known that certain evidence had been submitted to the department of justice.

His head was badly battered and he was bleeding freely. He was intoxicated and the only information that could be gleaned from him wan that he had been assaulted by some body. He was attended by a physician Monday. He became unconscious Wednesday and on Thursday his condition was such that his removal to the hospital was ordered.

A car in charge of Conductor Boyce and Motorman Brisiin was speeding south at a fair rate of speed, when, close to the road that leads to Coxton yard, the motorman saw a man walk from behind a nearby pole and start leisurely across the tracks. It seemed probable that he had stopped on the tracks in order to be struck, as he paid no attention to the warning sounded by the motorman. The car was too close to him to be stopped before it reached him. and he was struck and hurled to one side. He was sent in the direction of the D„ L,. & W. tracks over which a north bound train was passing at the time. When he struck, one of his feet went against the outer rail and lie was thrown backward, out of danger of the train. SPECIAL NOTICES. FOR YEARS It is kuo-rn that Commissioner E. E.

Call and take home a few Considerable surprise was occasioned last night at the reading of Mayor Langan's report of tines by the large amount ho had collected from prisoners. One of the counellmen was led to remark. "That almost pays the mayor's salary." The report is published elsewhere. A figuring up of Mayor Langan's reports since he was inducted into office shows that the amount collected for fines, etc., was very considerable. During his term the mayor has turned into the city •reasurer from fines the amount of $1.- 969. The,only Item of this, exclusive of fines. \h $200 received for the old Niagara horses. In addition to this amount over $300 was paid out to interpreters and special officers,, the entire amount collected totaling up more than $2,200. These figures show what revenue can be derived from transgressors of the law. The amount that will be levied on prisoners between now and April will undoubtedly bring the total close to the total amount of the mayor's salary for his term, $3,000. pounds of our choice sweets.
