Chicago Tribune. I

Chicago Tribune]
1t is evident that at the time of their
marriage, scandal had been busy with
Mrs. Belknap's fame, but after the nup-
tials, scandal ceased its defamation.
Whatever these rumors may have been,
or whatever truth they may have had.
matters little now. They have no imme-
date connection with the present calam-
ity, although the air is again full of
them. The causes which have led to the
downfall of the Secretary, date back to
the time when the siren who first fascin.
ated and then ruined him, went to Paris
with wealthy, spendthrift friends She
spent season In that gay city, reveling
In Its pleasures, courted and admired by
foreigners, eating of the apple of pleasure
IN the Eden which she had found The
gay widow returned TO this country, a
devotee of luxury, fashionable profigacy
and personal display, and in the Wash
lngton receptions she soon became one of
the most conspicuous figures. Then fol-
lowed the marriage to Secretary Belknap.
Belknap had charge of the sinners .
OF war. He was the chief of them.

the first time in a good while by the cry
of Fire" The firemen hurried to the
Engine house and got their machine out
and started fer the locality which was N

made, as we have been informed that be,
fore ten minutes had elapsed after the
first alarm the engine was set and every.
thing ready to commence playing ON the
fire but fortunately there was no need OF
it, The fire caught from lamp. Some
clothes were hanging up over a cupboard
and some person set lamp on top of the
cupboard for short time by which means
the garments were ignited. The damage
was not very great. The firemen are en-,
titled to a great deal of credit for the
short time consumed in getting ready fol
