Buildings in Memphis Burned, Involving
Loss of About $3.50, 200.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 6.
Memphis was visited tonight by another
destructive fire, which originated i'll Cole
& Co.'s oil, paint, door, sash and window,
blind store, Nos. 81 and 50 Union street,
between Main and Second. The inflamma.
BILE material kept in stock burned with such
ierceness that the firemen were unable to
confne the fire to the building where it
originated, and Greenlaw'S Opera-house, to
the east, and only separated from the
burning building by & small hlleyway, was
ignited, and together with Cole & COmpa-
ny's store was completely destroyed. At
one time all the stores on Union street west
of the fire were threatened with destruc-
ton, together with the block fronting on
Main street south of Union, but the fire wall
to the west of Cole & COmpany's store,
which extended about ten feet above
the next building, saved the others. As
it was, the fire consumed an area of about
fifty feet fronting on Union street and 130
feet fronting OH Second. 1t is impossible
to ascertain the exact amount of the losses
or insurance tonight, but the following is a
fair estimate: Cole & Co.'s loss OH stock,
$40, 1000; insured for about $4,000, equally
divided between home and foreign COM
panies. Building No. 50 Union street,
owned jointly by the Peoples Insurance
Company and the estate of j. o. Greenlaw,
valued at 1900; insured for $1,000 Build
ing No 80, owned by Mrs. S. E. Greenlaw,
same value; amount of insurance unknown;
Grecnlaw Opera-house was owned by G.
B. Peters and the Peoples Insurance Com.
pany. George B. Peters also owned the
two stores in the north portion of the
massive structure. The two south stores
we're owned by Campbell Wallace, of At
lanta, Ga. Loss to the Opera-hOuse building
about $1I0, 700: insurance not known, but
is light. The Mozart Society occupied the
second and third stories of the north
arn portion of the building, and lost
two fine pianos and other articles of value,
but are fully insured. Cole & Co. used ore
Of their stores for a lumber room, where
they stored a large lot of blinds and sashes,
dertaker, occupied another store, but nearly
all his stock was removed. The two stores
in the south wing were occupied by the
Memphis Lumber Manufacturing Com
pany, who sustained serious loss by re-
moving stock. The fire created intense eX-
and drew nearly the entire pOpu-
latiOn to the scene of the cOnhagratiOu.
The firemen worked herOically, and had
many narrow escapes from crumbling
walls, which were fallingOn all sides. Hill,
& Co., wholesale boots and shoes,
first door east of Cole & Co.'s store, were
slightly damaged by water which leaked i'll
from the roof.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY.
An Indian Doctor Murders His White Wife
and then Puts an End to His Own Ca


and then Puts an End to His Own Ca.
QUINCY, ILL, Oct. s.
One of the most sickening tragedies ever
enacted here took place just before noon to-
day on Twelfth street, north of Vermont.
For several years a full-blooded Indian,
who called himself DR.. 10. Rodgers, and
professed to cure diseases by Indian meth.
DDS, has been living in this city with a
white woman as his wife. They came here
from Galesburg, and the Doctor rented
rooms and lived mostly among the colored
people, ekeing out a precarious existence
by his incantations and sale of roots. His
wife is said to have been from Iowa, and is
respectfully connected, having on several
occasions lately stated that she intended to
visit her parents soon. The Indian seemed
very jealous of her, and numerous quarreis
resulted. Altogether the woman had
hard time of it, and some months ago tried
to drown herself in the Mississippi, but was
rescued by the engineer of the Water-works
Company. To-day DR.. 10 settled every
thing by going behind his wife at the time
mentioned while she was before the kettle
and putting bullet through her head, and
then with the same revolver putting one
through his own head. Death was instan-
taut Is to both.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oot 3.
A terrible tragedy occurred this alter.
noon in which Seargent p. NJ. jerks, one OF
the oldest and best officers on the st. Louis
police force was shot and mortally wound
I'd by disreputable negress named Sadie
Hill. The Seargent was making the rounds
Of his precinct when his attention was di.
rected to the woman Hill who, surrounded
by crowd of onlookers was indulging In
violent language toward someone not then
in sight, and on going up to her and seizinS
her by the left arm she Immediately turned
and before a word had been spoken sent
bullet crashing through his brain, inflicting
wound from which the unfortunate man
died at 1918 p. M. After shooting jerks,
and while he lay unconscious supported by
young colored.woman who had caught him
as he fell the virago, not content with
her bloody work, struck the pros
trate man a savage blow in the face with
the butt of her pistol. Subsequently the
murderess was aNested, but not before she
had drawn her pistol and threatened to use
it on officer Condor, who went in search of
her, but that officer got the drop on her and
compelled her to surrender.
The murdered officer was appointed
patrolman April 1j 1868. In a little over
years service his Jealous and efficient ser
vices caused him to be appointed Ser
geant, his commission dating November %,
1869. He wore shield No. 8, attesting his
long and faithful connection with the de-
partment. He was just in the prime of
life, forty-two years of age. He was
model of physical development, courageous
as lion in the discharge of his duty, and
as tender-hearted and conscientious as a
lady, of fine affections and strict religious
scruples. To all he was attentive and ac-
commOdating. On several occasions he
was mentioned as probable Captain. and
his untimely death is about the only cause
that could prevent his ultimate accession
to that dignity. He was a member of Polar
Star Lodge, Masonic; George Washington
Council of the United States Benevolent
Fraternity and Columbia Association of the
National American Association. His NOR
tuary benefits amount to $1,000.
