DESTROYED.

About o'clock Thursday night the dry
house connect d with A. d. Sireight's chair
factory. located on Georgia street, between
Missouri and West streets, caught fire, and
with its contents was almost totally con-
sumed. 1t was filled completely with lum-
Der prepared for use in the manufacture of
chairs, and, being dry, the Department
was unable to extinguish the flames. The
fire is supposed to have been caused by an
over-heated furnace. As the lumber was
largely composed of walnut the loss will be
somewhat heavy, and will probably reach
$4,000 or $4,000. The property is
insured, but that on this particular
portion will not be heavy enough TO cover
the loss. 1t is impossible 10 give the exact
loss or insurance, as neither Mr.. Str. light
nor any one having the informa-
ton could be found. the former
being out of the city. 1t is not
thought, however, that the loss will exceed
the above figures. The fire burned until an
early hour this morning, and was particu-
larly bright, causing many persons at first
to believe that il was Kingan's Pork House.

The Pretty London Actress Who Enthralled
the Heart of Murderer.

How fortunate for pretty Violet Cameron
that she is able to deny having anv knowl-
edge whatever of this wicked murderer Le-
troy, whose infatuatiOn for her led him TO
connect her name with his. That he had
written her several letters there is no doubt,
but there is not the slightest evidence TO
show that she ever took any more notice OF
them than pretty actresses generally Destow
upOn the epistles of unknown admirers, who
scribble their platitudes to the reignlng diva
of the footlights. One OF Lefroys letters to
Violet gives hintof new sort 0t a danger to
which girls entering the stage life exposes
themselves. 1t Is simply that OF being
murdered 1t appears that one night at the
theater letter was handed Violet, which
said that Mr.. Alexander Henderson, her
manager, had been thrown from cab and
had both legs broken, and that he desired
her to come to him at once. She was about
to comply with the request, being quite hor-
rified at the catastrophe, when it occurred to
her to ask the cabman who brought il, who
| gave him the note. Heanswered that a gen.
| tleman Just outside did so, and that he was
| instructed to drive her to London Bridge
| Station and await this person there. Nat
| urally this young artist declined to go, and IL
| is very fortunate she did So for various in
| dications prove this letter to have come from
| Lefroy who. if he had once got the delicate
| girl in his power, might have killed her.
| 1t may be of some interest to- you to know
| what sort of looking girl Violet Cameron is
this enchantress who has unwittngly en-
thralled the heart of a murderer, if be moi
| too great 1attery to attribute the posses
sion of such an organ to LEROY. Imprimis

Tho Holy Relics In Russia.
TSt. Petersburg Church Messenger.

Annually on October IL the transportation
of the ancient holy relics, which are sacredly
preserved in the Church of the Winter
Palace, is solemnly celebrated in the Cat
china Cathedral. These relics are: A part
of the Cross on which the Savior was cruci-
fed, the miraculous image of Gods
Mother painted by st; Luke, and
tist. These precious relics from
ancient times have been in possession of the
knights of st. John, afterward known as the
Knights of Malta, who. according to tradi-
ton, found them at different times. They
got the piece of the holy cross in 1887, when,
together with the Knights of the Temple,
the Knights of st. John were the guardians
of the holy cross at Jerusalem. They
acquired the image of the Virgin of Phil
ermo about the year 1.2OO, during the cru
sades. The right arm of st. John the Bap-
tist was kept at ConstanGinople, and after
the city fell into the hands of
to the sultan's treasury. The
Knights of St John got the arm in 14S4 by
the treaty with the Sultan Bajazet. Since
then the Knights have sacredly, preserved
the relics. Toward the end of the last cen
tury, namely, in 1898, when Malta was con-
quered by Napoleon Bonaparte, the Knights
of Malta were forced to leave the island.
They asked the Russian Emperor to protect
them. Paul |. accepted the Office of Great
Master of their order, and the grateful
Knights presented to him their great
est treasure. Thus those ancient
relics came into the hands OF
the Cars. They were brought to Rus
sia in 1899, and on October II were solemnly
deposited in the Cathedral of Gatchina
where the Car Paul used to live. In the
fall of the same year the relics were trans
ferred to the Church in the Winter Palace
at st. Petersburg, where they were pre-
served for half a century. In 1852 the Czal
Nicholas ordered that annually on October
IL the relics should be transferred to the
Gatchina Cathedral and that that day
| should be observed there as a holiday.
