I CHICAGO, May S.-Two little boys, the
sons OF Mrs Taylor, who occupied rear
rooms on the upper floor Of two.story
brick house at l7S2 Clark street, met with
terrible death this morning. Mrs. Taylor

two and three years respectively, locked in

distance away. When she returned, about
fifteen minutes later, she found her rooms
in flames. The fear.stricken mother rushed
In to save her babes, but was beaten back
by the smoke and flames, which poured
forth in volumes. Her shrieks attracted
the notice OF the neighbors, who restrained
the frenzied woman from giving up her
life for her children, after she bad already

ed aud her hair and clothing were on fire.
An alarm was turned in from box 05 at

the flames, but only after the children had
met death. When their bodies were re.
covered, they were burned 10 crisp. 1t

their clothing while playing with matches.

1862, came to Nevada with him in 1865,
has lived with him until few months ago,
when she became cognizaat OF certain acts
OF intidelity on the part Of defendant, since
which time she has not lived with him.
Complainant says defendant committed
adultery with one Fannie Smith, at
house on Jessie street, San Fran
cisco, come time in November, 1851. The
senator is also charged with committing
the game crime with Incz Leonard, in
house on the northwest corner OF Dupont
and Post streets, San Francisco, on The eth
Of April, 1883. Plaintiff states that the
result Of the marriage between the plaintiff
and defendant, ia four children, James G.,
jr., aged 20; Charles Lewis, aged l6; Theresa
Alice, aged Is, and Virginia, agedS. The
plaintiff says the defendant has possession.
and control Of large amount Of commu-
nifty property, the particulars Of which she
can not state. Mrs. Fair prays judgment
as follows: First, that divorce be granted
her, and that she be awarded the custody

The Senator was in Comstock last We'd
nesday, tho day papers werc served on

ton In Virginia on account Of the high
standing in society OF both parties and the
great wealth Of Fair, who also represents
Nevada in the U. s. SeIa'e. I.-..,......
Tie prevailing opinion on the Comstock
ia the Nevada stateamRn will not make q de.
Tense in the suit, but allow it to 20 by de.
fault, and agree 10 such settlement OF pro.
.perty as may be determined upon by coun-
sci. Gossip also says that tho amount has
been agreed upon as follows: $4,000 900
cash, 81, 100000 in real estate, at all events,
in case Of the divorce being granted, but
this is merely 5umOr. The case will come
before Judge Rising, and is lookl forward
