FIRE RECORD.

CLELELAND, March A.-Within a few
minutes after the alarm sounded for the
downtown fire, another came from an up
town district, about mile away, requiring
the presence of several engines and COM
panies which had started for Ontario
street. The second fire stsrtedin in H. Camp
BELLS dwelling on Sago street, and spread
to the neighboring houses and barns on
Cedar avenue, until three dwellings and
four barns and sheds were soon destroyed
and others more or less damaged. The az
gregate loss is not yet ascertained, but 1t Is
supposed that this was also an incendiary
fire and set TO divide the fire department
and insure greater destruction OF property.
CLEVELAND, o., March 2.-Soon after .
o'clock, this morning, a fire OF unknown
origin broke out in w. p. Southworth $
wholesale and retail grocery store, No. ia
to ll8, Ontario street Nothing is left Of
the large block except the ruined walls, and
the adjacent buildings are more or less
seriously damaged. Southworth's loss is
estimated at $4,000; insurance $4,000 on
stock, 81, 800 on building, and S37 900 on
fixtures. J. h. Rouse & Co., dealers in car
pets and furniture had a stock valued all
$4,000 which they claim is totally des-
troyed; insurance $4,000. H. NJ. Brown,
dry goods, loses between $4,000 and $50
coo; insurance $4,000. Chandler Il Rndd,
grocers, Mrs. Wilson, hair store, and two
neighboring shoe stores were damaged per-
haps 500 each. lncendiarism Is sus-
pected.
The fact that the fire was first discovered
in the part of Southworth's store where the
most inhammable material is kept, strongly
points to incendiaries. Very soon after the
blaze was first seen by policeman, the
stock of gasoline and coal oil exploded, and
the whole building was Immediately atiame.
A searching investigation will be made.
Before firemen had ceased work on the
smouldering ruins, Mr.. Southworth con-
tracted with an architect and builder to re-
build on site, and to have the store finished

o'clock, and again at an adjourned meeting

fore the committee in favor of the bill,
Hoge and Wilson being engaged in other

On the 18th day of February, 1850, John

CINCINNATI, March 2i.-The results of the
sudden and disastrous floods in the regions
tributary to Cincinnati have been plainly
felt in business. Colder weather and high
winds have checked the rise in the Ohio,
but farming operations will be seriously
checked. Money continues close, and
business men find it necessary to restrict
their lines. Discount rates 6@7 per cent.
In all lines of trade there is a complaint Of
lack of orders, with the exception of staple
groceries, which continue active, W it'll gen.
orally increasing prices Boots and shoes
are slow, and buyers are only meeting i'm
mediate demands. Dry goods are slightly
better, and prices have sitter tendency.
Leaf tobacco has been interfered with by
bad roads and the depression caused by the
agitation OF the tax in Congress. The grain
market has been active and higher, includ.
ing wheat and corn. Rye and barley re-
main unchanged. Whisky firm at $l.l8,
with heavy sales. Iron unchanged.

was convicted at the last term OF court
of killing his daughter-in-law, Dora Hall
wagon, on the night of the 5th OF Septem-
Der. He went to her house, and driving
her out into a cornfeld, crushed in her
head with hammer. The evidence lead
ing to his conviction was purely clrcum-
stantial, and turned mostly upon the state
ments made by HailwagOn as to Dora's
absence, when no one but the murderer
could have known of it. The murdered
woman was separated from her husband,
and there was strong Suspicion that he
had committed the deed himself, the more
so as she had been unfaithful TO him.
Hailwagon made long statement, publish

serted his own Innocence, and in indirect
terms, charged the murder on his son, tue

New York, March 2l-There has been a

situation. The buoyant tone of the stock
makct, and the steady advance in all sound
securities is having its effect. With better
crop prospects, signs Of immense immigra.
tion and favorable advicesf from the country
at large, there are, apparently, good grounds
for the hopeful views expressed as to the
permanancy of the present condition OF
affairs. Grain has been strong and tending
upward. In lard and pork the tendency
has been upward. In cotton fair amount
OF business has been done and the market
closed firm. The wool market is more
satisfactory, though buyers are moderate
in their demands. Petroleum moderately
active. The boot and shoe trade Is in an
encouraging condition and orders are com
ing in freely. Leather steady and prices
firm. In American pig iron business is
moderate and prices weak, Scotch pig is
dull. In dry good both jobbers and com.
mission houses report a better business and
there is an improved feeling in the trade.

THE MURDER.
Particulars Of the Crime and the Causes
which Led To IT.


The murder for which Small suffered the
last dread penalty of the law. yesterday,
was the killing of c. X. Jacoby, which oc-
CURED in 1879 more than three years ago.
Its details, as developed by the evidence IN
the trial, were as follows: On the night OF
the 18th of January. 1879, Small was sitting
in the saloon of Gotlieb Keiser, on Fifth
avenue, near Congress street. Here hew
followed by Charlotte McAleese Jacooy,
wife of the murdered man. Frank
had been for a time her acknowledged
lover, and it is alleged that the old
intimacy between Small and Jacoby's
wife was continued after the mar
riage of the latter. On the night
the fatal tragedy was enacted, these old
time lovers were sitting in the saloon re-
ferred to when Nick" Jacoby appeared.
The jealous husband had suspicious of his
wife's fidelity aroused, and angry words
were followed by quarrel OF words which
ended in blows. Shortly after the fight,
in which Small was the victor, Jacoby and
his wife left the saloon and were proceed
ing down Fifth avenue. When within
few PAGES of Chestnut street the sound OF
a shot reverbrated in the midnight air aud
Jacoby fell welterinS in his blood at the
feet OF his wife Small was at once sus-
pected as the murderer, and on the 22d day
ofJanuary, 1879, was committed to Jail for
trail.
Trial and Conviction.
The trial was commenced on April 2nd,
1879, before Judge kirkpatrick, and lasted
several days, during which large number
of witnesses were called, the most prOmi-
nent Of whom was the murdered mans
wife. She testified positively that Frank
killed her husband, and it was mainly on
this testimony that he was convicted. A
motion for a new trial followed, which was
refused on the 9th day of April, when sent
ence of death was also pronounced. The
prisoners counsel, Major MontOoth, I. NJ.
Marshall and Morton Hunter, Esqs, did
not allow the matter to rest with the
decision Of the of the lower court, and
carried the case up for argument
b fore the Supreme Bench at the
October term, 1879. The decision of the
lower court was affirmed. The counsel for
defense, with an indOmitable effoIt to save
the life OF the client, brought the matter
before the Pardon Board for the first time
in February, 1850. The second argu-
ment in behalf OF the prisoner was made |
before the Pardon Board at the March |
meeting of the same year. The case was |
reargued st the April term, and called up |
by Major MOntooth three times afterward |
without argument During sll this time |
the matter was held under adyisemeut, the |
hnal disposition only being made in Jam
uary, OF the present year. Further efforts |
10 save Sma4ls Life were considered useless |

line which trsyerses diagonally from the
Jail to letter 81" shows the general direc-
tion Of the route taken by the prisoner to
the Scaffold. All the windows
in the neighborhoOd were densely
filed, while thero were also coyerd with
crowds of anxious spectators. The south
western corner of the enclosure had been
assigned to the press, and near them were
the jury appointed to view the body, while

All was quiet within the enclosure, and

the city bells changed out II, and the con-
demned man and his escort slowly moved
into the circle and mounted the scaitold,
In an instant strange hush seized the
mascot people, as, with yet uncovered
eyes, the murderer slowly cast his glance
over the upturned faces, the blue sky
above A brief, touching and feryent ap-
peal for mercy for the dying man was then
offered, at the conclusion of which Small
advanced to the center of the platform i'm
mediateIy under the fatal moose, and ex-
tending one hand to Mr. Donehoo, said: IL
have nothing to say;
am Not Guilty"
The white cap was then drawn over the
ewes that shall never see the bright sun.
light again, brief farewells were spoken, the
fatal moose was adjusted, all left the plat

tors pressed forward, and death made his
appearance upon the scene. pr. Done
hoo overcome by his feelings, turned his
face to the wall and prayed feryently for
the soul of the dying man, while tears
streamed down his cheeks. At l2:l2H life
was declared extinct. Death had ensued
from strangulation, the neck not having
been broken.
