FIRE AT HELENA.
Col. j. A. Walls Residence De-
stroyed by Fire.
Loss Will Reach $1,000. Insured
For $500.

HELENA, October 31.-At five O'Clock this
morniug an alarm was sounded from Tower
hill locating fire in the Second ward.
Smoke was discovered by the watchman is
suing from the rear room of Colonel ]. A.
Wallis residence on Upper Rodney street, ad-
joining the house of d. H. Cuthbert OH one
side, and Mr.. Raleigh on the other. Before
the Fire Department was aroused the citizens
reached the ground. The smouldering flames
had burst through the roof near the kitchen
chimney and, famed by fresh breeze, rap
idly spread to the main building. The alarm
had instantly awakened the inmates of the
ouse, who sprang from their beds and bur-
riedly dressed, being hsstened in their move
ments by the smell Of smoke. Mr.. Wall,
Mr.. and Mrs. Murta, the baby and the girl,
all made their exit safely and in good order.
Scores Of active aud alert citizens were
quick to lend helping hands and considera-
Bile of the furniture was removed before the
blaze or water had damaged it. The steam
er and hand engine taking water from the
Academy hill reservoir soon had three hose
soie"iHS PtdyluS upou t1e uaineS, ana kept
them so much subdued that the adjoining
houses were protec ted and kept from dam
age. The fire had obtained such a footbold
and headway in parts OF the house, and
was so difficult to reach with water that half all
hour or more elapsed before the blazing sur
faces were quenched, and at the close there
was but little of the residence left but the
charred crust or shell of the building. The
origin Of the fire is involved in mystery. The
stove in that part Of the house had not been
heated since last evening, and Mrs. Wall be-
lieves that spark from some early lighted
fire near by had fallen upon the reof and set
it ablaze. Others think that the fire origi-
mated from a defective fue, instancing the
fact that the building had Sc veral times mar
rowly escaped destruction from this source.
Part Of the personal property destroyed in
cluded Mrs. Murta's wardrobe, a handsome
and costly one, which was nearly all de-
stroyed. The building and furniture were
| insured for $500, which will cover perhaps
| two thirds of the loss.

THE CHAMPION THIEF.
How He Got Possion of a Diamond
Ring or Two.

The Vienna correspondent of the London
Globe says: 'Last week certain Hungari-
an Countess, well known for her riches and
beauty (the same spirited lady who last year
seconded her brother in dueD, eraced with
her presence the performance at the ARA, or
Summer Theater. On one Of her fair fingers
my lady wore two diamond rings exactly like
each other. During the entracte there pre-
sented himself in her box big fellow in sor-
geous livery-sx feet of the finest tiunky ix!-
aginable. Quoth he, in finest Hungarian,
MY mistress Princess P, has sent me to
beg Of your ladyship the loan of one of your
rings for five minutes Her Highness has OBJ
served them from her box opposite; and is
very anxious to examine one more closely, as
she wishes to have ono made after the pat
tern. Without an instant's hesitation the
Countess handed ring to 'Jealnes,' who
bowed with respectful dignity and retired.
The performance over, the two great ladies
meet on the staircase, and the Countess beg
ged her friend to keep the ring at her cot
venience. What ring, my dear?' Denoue-
ment. Tableau. The powdered mcniar
was no flunky after all, bat thief, and the
ring was gone. The police were informed of
the impudent trick. Justice seems to have
overtaken the culprit in few strides, for
next morning the Counteas, while still en-
roJe-de-chdmbre, received letter informing
her that the thief had been caught and the
ring found on his person. 'Ouly, added the
note, ,the man s.outly denies the charge and
declares the ring to be his own. To clear up
u doubt, pray come to the police station or
send the duplicate ring by bearer TO draw
the second ring from the finger and entrust
it joyfully to the messenger-a fine fellow in
full police uriform-together with a hand
some tip for the glorious news, was the
wo of moment. Only when my lady an
hour later betO0ll herself radiant to the po-
lice station to recover her lost jewels, slight
