which has taken, this week, more
than usually horrible features. "A
trail woman, an inmate of u fash
house of ill.fame uptown,
was visited by an unknown man
one evening last week. What trans
pired in the room will never he
known. The man rushed out, and
was lost in the darkncss,-a mo
ment later the woman appeared at
the head of the stairs enveloped in
flames. She was dressed for tie
evening in rich robes of a cOmbust
ible material, and the flames had
completely enveloped her. She had
iust time to eXclaim she set me attire
with a match," aud fell, and belor"
relief could reach her was burned
to death. The man has not been
found. Then this. was followed by
another mystery. One Of the old =
est and richest firms in the city is

his partners to buy him out, and the
papers necessary had been drawn

was heard in the private office. ana
fire. The employees of the house
rushed to the room and found the
senior dead, the junior mortally
wounded, and tho other member
badly wounded and unconscious.
There were revolvers and knives on
the floor, aud the fragments OF a
hand grenade, which had doubtless
exploded, killed the two and wound
cG the other 1t is all a mystery,
for the only living man of the three
is unable to speak. Doubtless
young Jewott, t.c nephew, did the
bloody work with the hand grenade,
for there are no pistol or knife
wounds on the bodies of himself,
his uncle or the other member OF
the firm. Two such singular crimes
seldom occur in one week.
