lioyer auu from St. Louis on Saturday. a reft 4 Kepfc K'. long tue at his tor- from nis in and answering quesuous tire. Mr.

Schoyer and hi mate esca', c.mceniing the i hiii oi sixteen, iwunieu son :s.iini':, couiMiuuicating rooms on the third floor of Southern Hotel. Their rooms fronted on Fifth avenue aud Walnut street. Mr. Schoyer had been very busily engaged during the day before the fire, and was quite weary and well prepared for a sound sleep, when tho hour came for retiring. During the night he was awakened by a noise which he thought resulted from a street fight.

Arising he peered out the window to discover crowds of excited men hurrying too and fro and the steamers playing. He thought the fire might possibly endanger the hotel and awakened his son. The lad went to secure the boots, which had been left in the hall-way, and upon opening the diKir a heavy volume of smoke rushed into the room At the same time a man rushed along the hall-way Uling to them to leave the room, that, the hotel was on fire and they had scarcely a moment to spare. L'ntil this time they had not appreciated their danger. They both slipped into their pantaloons and boots, and the father secured his watch and money, at the same time telling his son to go aud declaring that he would follow in a moment.

The lad replied that he would wait until his father was ready, and closing the lid of his trunk and hastily snatching their cots from the wardrobe, the father hurried out into the hallway by the side of his boy. The dense smoke bad extinguished the gas in the hall and they groped their way along til'Jthey found the ladies' entrance. The attorney was about to turn in one direction but his son assured him that was not the way to go aud following the latter's advice they made good their escape. Ily this time the upper stories had been burned to ruins and pieces of barnin wo fell about them as they made their escape. Had the lad followed his father's advice the latter would most probably have gone in the wrong direction, and lost his life.

The young man had been loitering about, the hotel during the day, while Mr. Schoyer was taking testimony, and thus had much better opportunity to take the bearings of the place. Mr. Schoyer says the alarm had lieen sent into the fire department fully an hour before he was aroused and then he was only accidentally awakened not at the instance of the hotel management. From the report published on Saturday to the effect that the hotel people at first tried to extinguish the tiames themselves, neglecting to send in an alarm until the fire bad gotten considerably beyond their control.it would seem that Mr Schoyer and his son were allowed to slumber near! au hour and a half hile the building was burning about them.

Doubtless ether guests were subjected to the same neglect, and possibly lives may have Iteen lost from it. Shortly after their escape the Pitt--burghers proceeded to the Lindel! Hotel, where, strange to say, their trunks turned up in the afternoon following but. not until they had laid in a full supply of linen. Mr. Schoyer's oniy Ioss was a satchell and its contents which were not very valuable.

St II A ii Axed I. aily, While Laborinr 1'ndcr Temporary Elt of I nanlty, flame Ilereir About four o'clock yesterday afternoon the residents in the usually quiet neighlor- hood of Pike street, Allegheny, were startled by the announcement that an aged German lady named lirummel, residing with her daughter at No. 1'-', bad bung herself. No sooner had the report been sent abroad than crowds of people began to gather about the house, to find the rejnirt to be only too true.

It appears that the l.vly hail been indisposed for some time, whii.h frequently led her to wander in her mind. On this account her daughter, who is about twenty years of age, kept a careful wafch over her movements. When yesterday afternoon she left the house to lie absent for a few hours she requested a neighlioring lady to remain with her mo her, which the latter consented to do and diil so until she had occasion to leave the house for a few moments. returning she found the doors locked. She knocked for fully ten minutes, but no answ-r.

Her next step was to call her husband who forced the door o-n aud proceeding to the kitchen was horrified to find the body of Mrs. 15. suspended from the ceiling. On making an examination it was found sue had hung herself by placing a broom handle in a horizontal jKisition Vietween two rafters and attaching one end of a clothes line to this and the other eud around her neck. She was ixty years of age and leaves an only daughter.

The Coroner held an in quest last evening and rendered a verdict iu accordance to the facts mentioned. I I HE IX A I.I.I II EX T. The Corpne or a Female 51 ake a Nar row Escape from Bnriilnr. The Lechler family, at No. M3 Pike street, Allegheny, met with a sad misfortune on Saturday by the death of the mother.

After the members had recovered from the midden grief which the death of one so dear had occasioned, they proceeded to mak preparations for the burial accord ing to the rites of the catholic Chuichi The customary candles were placed at the head of the coffin and during the whole of Saturday night kind friends remained at the residence. I leav ing the house at day break.the room in which teh corpse was lying was vacated, the members of the family be ing in the kitchen, but the can dies were left burning. While the fam lly was eating breakfast about eight o'clock they were startled by the discovery of smoke issuing from the department iu which the irpse was. Proceeding to the room almost suffocated by the smoke, they saw flames creeping along the walls, aud all the drapery about the casket already destroyed. They immediately took the corpse out of the room aud found that the casket had been ignited, but not enough so to do material damage.

ll-14t is Termination of the Kavanansh Case. JIcMaslerK Convicted of Accessory f.re and After the Fact. Judge Rwlnx'n hare to theJnry notion for Sett Trial. in the trial of McMasb having submitted the case to the lire l.wllif Uirv on rio.iy shortly after the reconvening of court on F'e in spoke of the crime with which the defendant was quoting from the indictment, after which lie read from the act of Assembly under which the indictment n-as found. The jury must first consider, said the judge, the question as to whether the crime was committed at all or not.

They must be sat isfied beyond a reasonable doubt that such a crime had lieen committed. If they had a reasonable doubt on this question they could go no further, but must rind a verdict of not guilty. The Court reviewed the tes timony offered by the Commonwealth in regard to the alleged intimacy of the defendant with the deceased. It was claimed by the Commonwealth, as to this intimacy, that it tended to show a motive on the part of the defendant for the commission of the crime. That testimony, the Court said.

might show a motive, but that alone would not be necessary. to convict the defendant. Regarding Iiafferty's testimony, tl Court said that, it was for the jurv to de cide how mncb. if any, they should be lieve, and if any, what part. Accord i to contradictory testimony of the physicians, the Court said, on account of their existing a jealousy Vietween the new and old schools, the jury was not obliged to accept their theory.

The points published with the proceedings of the trial were then taken up. The first, second, fifth, sixth and seventh were affirmed. The third and fourth were afrtrmed after being somewhat modified. As to the insinuation that there was danger of the jurors being influenced by outside opinions, the Judge said he did not believe it. Of the manner in which the death was caused, it was immaterial the Judge said, whether it was by the means of instruments, drugs, or by any other means.

It was sufficient for the jury to be satisfied that it was committed, the indictment not specifying any particular means, but including all. The testimony was referred to impar tially, and the whole charge was taken a-a very fair one. The delivery of it occupied about one hour's time. At twenty minutes to eleven the jury retired, and returned a few minutes before twelve, with a verdict of guilty accessory before and after the fact. During the absence of the jury, the defendant w.i seated in thejnry box on the north side of the room, with his son Jimmy.

It is stated that, he was confident of acquittal, and therefore did not leave the court room, but it was observed that his bondsman wa-also there, accompanied by an officer, from which it was inferred that they would have taken him in charge had he made an effort to leave. As soon as the jury hail l-et seated, MeMasters took a seat at the reporters' table, almost directly opposio from where he as sifting. His feelings from that moment, until the ireman of the jury handed the envelope containing the verdict, can better be imagined thai described. If sat watching every moti -i of the jury, and nerv.msly drumming with his fingers on the table. Finally the vi lict mentioned alsjve was announced the clerk.

A moment's consultation between the counsel followed when Mr Reardon stated that, he ished to make a motion for a new trial, and would file hi- reasons in a few ivs. Jude Ewing tliep directed that the defendant be remanded f. jail until his case could be disposed of. The severest punishment, hich may inflicted for the offence of which McMa. ters has been convicted is a tine of "Sou and imprisonment for seven years.

The law does not separately fix he penalty for ai -eessory, but the counsel for the Commonwealth state that the defendant may le punished on each of the two counts separately, which would make fourteen years' imprisonment and a fine of 5 1 ,000, if Le were given the full extent of the law.

The Democrats in caucus to-night, it is understood, agreed 11 pon a proposition they will make to the Commission for admission to their organization of all members elected by Parish Commissioners' returns, but this action shall in no way interfere -with the legisla tion already perfected. The seven or eight members who were seated subject to contest will submit their cases for final decision to the full Legislature when assembled. General McMillan, Judge Leonard, and three or four other prominent Republicans, were in consultation with the Commission several hours to-dav in the interest of Governor 1 'aokard. These gentlemen were assured by the Commission, 111 the most solemn manner, that no proposition what ever has been made to either party, and furthermore, that the Commission have not agreed upon a plan. Oeneral McMillan and his associates nrgeil.upon the CommiS' sion the necessity of an earlv decision by the President.

Confidence in lrliolls' Sncrrin tjroHS Brighter. General McMillan said to-night that con fidence in the ultimate success of the Xicholls government seemed to be hard ening, citing improvement in State bomis, and desertions from Packard's Legis lature as sustaining this view.

To-night the Commission are in executive session. A few days ago.

Sixteenth Conviction in Srhnykill, Carbon and Columbia Counties. Pottsvixle, April 14. The jury empanelled at Mauch Chunk, Carbon county, on Tuesday, to try the case of Patrick O'Donnell, indicted for complicity iu the murder of Morgan Powell at Summit Hill, in yesterday brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. U'Iounell is the fifth man convicted for this murder, four of the accused being convicted of murder in the first degree and one in the second. The trial was not very earnestly fought, though the counsel for the defense did try, with some appearance of persistency to ct a change ot venue from Carhon county, ou the ground that no man under the odium of having belonged to the Molly Magmres can get justice iu that county.

Ihe motion tor a change of venue was overruled. Jt was not even charged that O'Donnell was present at the scene ot the murder. lie belonged to the lusearora division ot the Moilies, the division which furnished tfie men to murder Powell, and he took a prominent part 111 the meeting at which it was resolved to furnish men tor the job. Of this fact no doubt was left on the minds of the jury, and, under the instructions of the Co: rt thi retume.l the fatal vt rdict Ihmueil was apparently the most uncon cernrd person iu the court room, when the verdict was announced, aud did not inter rupt his chat with a friend. This conviction brings the number of doomed Mollies up to sixteen in the three counties of Schuylkill, Carlion and Columbia, and is iruiwirtant as indicating a deter mination to relentlessly hunt down and hang every Mollie who ever was concerned in murder.

A Slates the Fire Started L'arlj in the F.veuiuz. He ne lils for the Sulferers. St. Iritis, April Orrin Welsh, Mayor of TojM-ka, Kansas, was a guest at the Southern, aud- occupied room 129, immediately over tho store-room where the fire is supposed to have originated. He tells a strange story to-uight, to the effect that as early as six o'clock on Tuesday evi-mug he went to his r.Hjm, and found it filled with smoke.

He summoned a bellboy, ami asked him where the smoke came from. The boy said he supposed it came from a grate in some other part of the hotel. 'Welsh then went away, and did net return until hal'-past ten P. it which time there was more smoke in his room, and a strong smell of tire. Being utiabie to sleep in his room he went to the night clerk and had his baggage removed to a room on the fourth floor, where he was sleeping when the alarm was given.

Welsh is quite certain the fire started early iu the evening in the store room slowly burning and gathering strength all night. Chief Sexton, of the Firo Department, savs there is no tfouht of the truth of Welsh's story, aud that ail the circum-diiu i'S of the tire especially the heudway the flames had attained when the engine's arrived show that it started hours before the alarm was given. There is going to lie a lively investigation in the business. The town is full of men with ladders, extinguishers, patent ropes and escapes to sell, lirter ote. As the Fire Department has received much blame from a portion of the city press aud from many individuals for alleged bid management of the lire, Chief has made a little investigation of the niat- ii self defense.

He has examined Kus-. -11 (chief engineer of the hotel) and sv-eia' euiploees who a.ssisted in the effort to subdue the thirties in the store-rooni. reiterated his tel-eraphed on Friday night, and nave it as his opinion that the tire department was Kiirauioned too late to save the buiiding.
