THE MILWAUKEE HORROR.
Was the Torch Notwithstanding the
Ruins,

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 11.-There is loud
talk of incendiarism in connection with
the burning of the Newhall House. In
this theory the Chief of Police. who was
first on the ground, concgrs. No tangible
ground for such a theory can be found,
however, beyond the fact that a fire broke
out near tie foot of the elevator and
spread so rapidly that the building was
destroyed in half an hour.
At daylight this morning a large gang
Of labOrers resumed the work Of hunting
for the dead in the ruins OF the Aewhall
House. The streets In the vicinity of the
ruins were packed with people, The
greatest excitement prevails. The entire
Fire Department is engaged in pulling
down the remains of the wall. The police
and fTemen are confident that fully fifty
UanOIe lie buFiea4 il the ruins, including q
number Of guests of the hotel not men,

people ara arriving here by every train,
and the hotels are filled with tear
full. anxious persons, seeking friends
or relations supposed to have been
in the fire. eli sufferers at the PlankintOn
and Kirby Houses were doing pretty well
this morning. Portions OF the fallen walls
have piled up debris at the main entrance
to the hotel, and the hope Of finding the
bodies seems more forlOrn than ever.
Business is all but suspended throughout
the ctty, most of the inhabitants having
swarmed about tAe ElsiAs.
w. Gilbert, of the Minnie PalMer Com
pany, is dying. There has been little or
no chance for him from the start. Judge

The Chief Culprit Held for Bail-A
School Director Attacked by Mistake.


School Director Attacked by Mistake.
JERSEY CITY, n. j., Jan. 1.-THE ex-
citement over the failure of the City Bank
and the probable wreck of the Fifth Ward
Savings Bank has not abated. Angry de-
positors still besiege the building. The
directors and employees of the savings
bank were interrOSated by anxious cred
itOrs, but no satisfaction was received,
except that the savings bank expected to
resume business in few days, and would
pay ali claims against it in full. Garret
L. BOiee, President of the now defunct
City Bank, and. Treasurer of the
Fifth Ward Savings Bank, this
morning was arraigned before Justice
Stilsing on the charge of embezzling bonds
and securities of the full value of $24,5O0
from the Fifth Ward Savings Bank. He
was self-possessed and waived an exam
nation. He requested the Justice to fix
his bail, which the court declined to do
until bondsmen appeared. BOice was
taken to the detectives room at police
headquarters to await the arrival of his
suretles. BOice was President, and his
son-ln-laW, Shaw, was Cashier of the CITY
Bank, and these two, with bOokkeeper
named Beach, were jointly specializing in
stocks with bank funds. The amount
taken from that bank, So far discovered is
$4,000, and is in addition to the item upon
which suit is brought by the saving bank.
BOice has not been able to procure bail
and is locked in a cell at headquarters.
The bitter feeling against the bank Off
cials was manifested in an unprovoked
assault on JnO. Boyd, one Of the Directors
of the Board of Education, while in Pa
yonia avenue. He was accosted by some
friends on the opposite side of the street,
one of whom said, ''HOw do you do, Direc-
torY Before Boyd could reply three
men, who were behind him, had attacked
him. One of them exclaimed: ssYou are
one of the Directors, are you?'' and dealt
Director Boyd a powerful blow in the
face. His assailants We're promptly ar
rested and held for trial. The man who
struck the blow said that when he heard
BOyd's friend address him as ''DirectOr," /"
he supposed he was one of the directors
of the broken bank.
