ALL NOW IN RUINS.

HALF A MILLION DOLLAR FIRE AT .NEWARK, X. J.

The PInnt of the Cvntrul Slnmiilni Company la Totally Destroyed, Together With Several Other Bnlldinffs in the Immediate Vicin­ity.

Newark, 2%. J., Aug. 13.—The fiercest tire the department of this city has had to coutend with In many years, with the possible exception of the big grain fire at the Ballentlne brewery a couple of months ago, broke out in the plant of the Central Stamping company to-day. The front of the Cen­tral Stamping company plant was on New Jersey and Railroad avenue, and covered ten city lots on that street. From this branched another building five stories high and seventy-live feet, wide, running through the block to Liberty street. From this building there was a wing of the same size ex­tending from the middle of the block through to East Fair street. On the south side of the main building on the avenue were five three-story brick buildings, and on the north was a new two-story brick structure. All these were destroyed. The loss to the Cen­tral Stamping company was estimated by State Senator Ketcham, treasurer of the Company, as upward of half a million dollars; insurance, $250,000. The other losses will aggregate $30,-000. Less than an hour after the first alarm was turned in the walls began to fall. The house at No. 10 Fair street was crushed beneath the wall next to It. In this house lived Samuel Gles-ner and his family. The house was flattened by the weight of brick fall­ing upon it, but the family lost but lit­tle as most of their belongings had been removed from the building when the fire broke out. A house at No. 28 Liberty street was also caught be­neath a falling wall and wrecked. Several other houses were badly dam­aged by falling timbers and bricks. When the main wall fell It buried the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad and all traffic on that road was blocked for a time. A number of firemen had narrow escapes from being buried be­neath this wall. Fireman John Van Houghton, of Engine Company No. 2 had a narrow escape early in the course of the fire. He had gone to the roof searching for a position from which to direct a stream of water. The roof gave way while he was on It. When he felt It sinking he leaped to the gutter and threw himself over so as to hang from the edge by his hands. The gutter was filled with boiling tar, and although his hands were badly bitrned he managed to cling to the roof until rescued.

James Parker, who lives at No. 15 Hamilton street, was on the roof of his house with buckets watching the sparks. In throwing water on some of them be lost his balance and fell to the ground. He was badly injured about the head, shoulders and arms, but will recover. Capt. Frank Mercer, of the savage corps, was severely cut about the hands. Many firemen were badly scorched and blistered by the heat, but no one was seriously hurt.

MASSACRES IN CHINA.

Hlu Ronae, the Minnesota Mission-ary, Probably Escaped.

) Boston, Aug. 13.—The Standard will to-morrow print an exhaustive Inter­view with Miss Clara M. Cushman of Deadham, concerning the missionary situation in China. Miss Cushman was for many years a missionary in Pekin, having been sent by the same society as that under whose auspices Miss Hartford has been working at Ku Cheng. In the Interview Miss Cush­man asserts a belief that these latest massacres are one of the results of the recent war between China and Japan. Ku Cheng Is many hundred miles from the central government at Pekln, and it is probable that the peo­ple had only rumors of the trouble, aud so got all sorts of stories, some of which may' have started the trouble. "The uninformed Chinese," Miss Cush­man continued, "believe that the for­eign missionaries cut out the eyes and hearts of the natives to use for medi­cine. They are quick to accept any story that they hear, so that the for­eigners there can never tell_ when a mob will come upon them. Ku Cheng is quite a distance from Foo Chow, up the Min riv;er. It It a walled city of about 20,000 inhabitants, rind has the reputation of being a very neat and clean city. long Blng is still further inland. Miss Hartford has an assist-' ant, Miss Wilma H. Rouse of Minne­sota, who was probably not in the massacre as her name was not men­tioned."

Triennial G'onelnve Will Soon Be Held in Boston.

Boston, Aug. 13.—The twenty-sixth triennial conclave of the grand en­campment of the Knights Templar of the United States will be held in Bos­ton, Aug. 26-30. Great preparations are being made for the event by a committee of which Sir Samuel C. Lawrence, right eminent commander of the Grand Commandery of Massa­

chusetts and Rhode Island, is chair­man. Under Mr. Lawrence's direction $150,000 has been raised for the enter­tainment of visitors. The grand en­campment is composed of forty-five grand commanderies, with a combined membership of 10,384. Reports from throughout the country foreshadow a large attendance. A plan looking to a change in the methods of voting will be presented at this conclave. Under present laws each state is allowed four votes on any matter coming be­fore the triennial conclave. It makes no difference whether a state's mem­bership is 100 or 10,000. It is to equal­ize this that the change of methods is asked for.

Prof. C. W. Drew, Chemist to the Minnesota State Food and Dairy Com­mission, says that the "R oyal," belnf mission, says that the "Royal," being of greater stren gth than any other, an of greater strength than any other, and possessing better keeping quali­ties, it is the natural conclusion that it is the best baking powder made.

FUR FACTORY UTTRNED.

Rosen's South St. Paul Establish­ment Destroyed.

St. Paul, Aug. 13.—A passing loco­motive on the Great Western road, it is thought, set fire to the roof of A. T. Rosen's fur factory at South Park yes­terday afternoon, the building burning to the ground with all its contents, making a total loss of $30,000. Two workmen were in the shop at the time, but did not discover the fire until the upper story was filled with smoke. Mr. Rosen discovered the fire first from his residence, which is a short distance from the two-story factory building, situated between the railroad tracks and the river. He ran down, giving the alarm, and a safe and desk with books were rolled out of the office. Nothing more could be saved on ac­count of the heavy smoke. Five thou­sand dollars' worth of furs in process of work, were burned, but they were insured. The building and machinery, valued at $24,000. were uninsured, sev­eral policies having just expired.

DEED OF A DOCTOR. HE KILLS HIS WIFE AND THEN

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.

While Temporarily Insane, Dr. J. H. Whiteford, a Prominent Physician of Wilmot, S. D. Shoots His Wife and then Suicides.

Wilmot, S. D., Aug. 13.-Dr. J. H. Whiteford of this place, while tempor­arily insane to-day, shot and killed his wife, then killed himself. He has been a prominent physician here for many years. The doctor had been at­tending to his practice regularly, and it was not suspected that his mind was becoming unbalanced. To-day neighbors heard shots in the White­ford residence, and on entering the house Mrs. Whiteford was found lying on the floor, dead, and near her body was Dr. Whiteford, who was just breathing his last. The smoking re­volver was still tightly grasped in his hand. Mrs. Whiteford was a most estimable woman and the doctor had always been known as an upright man.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug 13—George W. Loelimer, for several years bookkeeper at the city workhouse, was arrested this morning on the charge of em­bezzlement of city money. Later he was found dead in a cell at the central police station under circumstances which indicate suicide. On June 1 It was discovered that he had been em­bezzling funds entrusted to him. The shortage amounted to $6,000. He was permitted to retain his position until his friends made good the shortage and was then dismissed. Since then an expert investigation of the books showed a further shortage of about $4,000. Loehmer was arrested at 4 o'clock this morning. He made a con­fession in which he admitted the theft of $3,000. He was then apparently in good health. An hour later' he was found lying on the floor of his cell bleeding at the mouth. He was put to bed and a physician summoned. The doctor advised that he be sent to a hospital. When the ambulance ar­rived to remove him he was dead.

BEHEADED.

Chinese Fanatics Cut Off the Head and Hands of Mrs. Stewart.

New York, Aug. 13. — The World's cablegram from Foo Chow, China, says: Baby Stewart is dead, the eleventh victim of the massacre of missionaries by the Chinese at Hwasang. One of the murderers of the Stewarts has been caught and con­fessed that they cut off the hands and head of the wife. Mrs. Stewart was frenzied and fought till hacked to pieces. Foo Chow is cut off from Pekin. The Chinese say the telegraph lines are blocked north of Yangtse riv­er.

Washington, Aug 13—The navy de­partment has received a cablegram announcing that Commodore Newell had sailed from Shanghai with the Detroit for Foo Chow. Foo Chow is about 400 miles south of Shanghai, and is the nearest seaport to the scene of the rioting at Hwasang and Ingbok. Hwasang is 175 miles from Foo Chow, and Ingbok fifty miles. The dispatch­ing of the Detroit to Foo Chow was construed at the state and navy de­partments to mean that both Minister Denby and Admiral Carpenter, who, with the flagship Baltimore, are at Nagasaki, 400 miles from Shanghai, across the Yellow sea, are fully alive to the situation and propose to have an American cruiser as close as pos­sible to the scene of the disturbance for the protection of such of the mis­sionaries as may flee to the coast, and also to enforce such demands as may be made.

Judge Crofoot of Aberdeen; Vice Pres­ident Fitch, of the Northwestern Mort­gage and Trust company; B. R. Hoov­er, receiver of the Gettysburg State bank, and W. W. Taylor. The ob­ject of the meeting Is to straighten out titles to several tracts of land which it is intended to transfer to South Da­kota on Taylor's settlements. The tracts in question are among those transferred to Charles S. Wells in trust by Taylor as president of the Northwestern Loan and Trust com­pany. The Gettysburg bank had as­signed a mortgage to the Redfleld bank for security on notes, and the Redfleld bank transferred it to the Mortgage Trust company, thus bring­ing it into the piesent settlement. The object of meeting is to get a straight title to the state.

Prof. Floyd Davis, Chemist to the State Board of Health of Iowa, says: "The Royal has the highest leavening power of any baking powder exam­ined, and is composed of pure and wholesome ingredients, well mixed, and of a character perfectly proper for use.

WHITEMAN'S WOES.

He Charges Conspiracy on the Part of His Relatives,

San Francisco, Aug. 13.—Alonzo J. Whiteman, the Duluth banker and ex-state senator of Minncsc/a, who was recently sentenced to the penitentiary for forgery, declares he has been sent to prison us the result of a conspiracy between his sister and her husband, a man named Gibbs. Whiteman de­clares that after the governor of Michigan refused to issue extradition papers to surrender him to California he went to Paris. From there he was decoyed to New York by his sis­ter and her husband on representa­tions that his father's estate was about to to be settled, and on their promise

clear liirn of debt. When he ar­rived in New York he was arrested on the forgery charge, and Gov. Morton turned him over to the California of­ficers. Whiteman exhibits a letter from his mother, In which she refers to her son-in-law, Gibbs, as a liend, and tells of the efforts of Gibbs and her daughter to embarrass Whiteman. The crime for which Whiteman was convicted was the forgery of a check for $500 on a New York bank, using the name of Frank Dixon. He claims Dixon wrote the check in good faith but did not have $500 In the New York bank. Whiteman, who cut quite a swell here, cashed the check, and when the bank here was Informed that Dixon had no account In New York they demanded the return of the money from Whiteman. He was pn-able to pay and prosecution followed.

The grocer sends the new brand of baking powder simply because It costs him so much less and he can make more profit by selling it than he can on the Royal. The Royal Is made from the very finest materials and costs much more than any other brand, which accounts for its superiority, al­though it Is sold to consumers at the same price.

ROARING FLAMES.

Ureat Destruction Wrought by For­est Fires.

Olympia, Wash., Aug. 13. — Only meager details have been received from the burning district west and south of here. The wires went down yesterday and the only method of com­munication was by messenger. The city is covered by dense smoke and a shower of fine ashes 1b falling con­tinuously. Thus far two deaths have been reported. Kars Peters and T. White were riding on a logging train near Shelton when the train went through a burning trestle. The engi­neer and fireman escaped, but Peters and White were burned In the wreck. Heavy winds have fanned the fire through the dry timber until the roar­ing of the flames is heard miles away and the quick and successive falling of giant trees resembles the noise of battles. At Summit, fifteen miles west of here, several ranches have been de­stroyed and fear is expressed for the safety of settlers whose escape by the road is cut off. Millions of feet of timber have been lost.

Men Shot to Death in Night by a Gambler.

In the way of prompt and deadly shooting nothing in ail tho red calen­dar of homicide in the far West beats the record of the gambler. Riley, at Newton, Kan., made one night in 1871. The Santa Fe railroad had been built to tliat point during the year, and a flourishing town had grown up around the terminus to which the Texas cattle drives that had beeu going to Abilene were turned. One night the Texas cat­tle drives were in for shipment, aud the cowboys wore celebrating. Some of the Texans had a grudge against the officers of the town, and so they came in prepared for trouble and they set about making it straightway. They killed the city marshal, the deputy marshal and another mail early in the evening. Later they poured into Pink-ham's dance lmll to the number of twenty-five or thirty.

Their first break was to assassinate a harmless citizen. Riley was in the dance hall and the man just killed was a particular friend of his. With­out a word Riley stepped back to the big double doors in front of the saloon and closed them. Placing his back against the doors he drew a pair of re­volvers and fell to shooting, one man against the crowd. Men tumbled left' aud right, and shots rang out all over the room in response to the cracking of Riley's pistols. Shots perforated and splintered the door all about him, but he stood there firing until his pis­tols were emptied. Then leaping over the counter he caught up a revolver that lay on a shelf beneath and kept on with the firing. Before he had emptied the pistol that he found be­hind the bar the men inside had forced the front doors open. Those that could rushed out and Riley shot his last man in the middle of the street.

When it came to counting up losses It was discovered that there were thir­teen dead men in the town, due to that night's shooting, of whom nine cow­boys had fallen by Ril«y's hand. A doctor hastily summoned to the scene came to the side of a cowboy who was dying. "How is it, Doc?" asked the wounded man. "Am I going to pull through V" The doctor shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, my poor fellow, but I cannot give you any hope." "How about the man who shot me," said the cowboy, "Is he dead?" "No," answered the doctor, "he was not even wounded." "I know better than that," said the cowboy. "I know he was hit. I was right by the side of him when he shot me, and before I fell I fired and hit him under the arm. You ex­amine him. and you'll lind that he's wounded there." When the doctor got x'ound to Riley he examined him and found that he had received a flesh wound under 'his arm which iu the ex­citement of fighting he had not no­ticed. Riley left the town after the Inquest and didn't appear there again. —Denver Field and Farm.

The Boy'ii First Fishing Rod. The arrival of the rod, in four joints,

with an extra tip, a brass reel and the other luxuries for which a frue angler would willingly exchange the neces­saries of life, marked a new epoch In the boy's career. At the uplifting of that wand, as if It had been In the hand of another Moses, the waters of infancy rolled back, and the way was open into the promised land, whither the tyrant nurses, with all their proud array of baby chariots, could not fol­low. The way was open, but not by any means dry. One of the first events In the dispensation of the rod was the purchase of a pair of high rubber boots. Inserted In this armor of mod­ern Infantry, and transfigured with de­light, the boy clumped through all the little rivers within a circuit of ten miles from Caldwell, aud began to learn by parental example the yet un-mastered art of complete angling.— "Old-Fashioned Fishing," by Henry van Dyke in the Century.
