Land Office, however, would have set HIM right.
From them it appears that Congress passed the

4 SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.
An Old Scandal Recalled by the Death Of
Russell Teyis, of ST. Louis.

ST. Louis, Aug. 15:-A very sensational sui
eide occurred here tonight which is likely
to revive an old and sad affair and
cause much comment in society circles
Russell H. Tevis, who, it will be recollected, shot
and seriously wounded Frank T. Igleheart two
years ago last winter, for too intimate relations
with his. wife, went to. his home, No.
1854 st. Louis avenue, about 10 o'clock
tonight, and as far as can be
LEARNED, had some angry words
with his wife, and remarking that he thought it
would be better for an of them to die, evidently
meaning himself, wife and one child; he took
al large pistol from, a. washstand drawer and
made demonstrations toward his wife, but
She divining his purpose, fled hastily
from the room. Ferris then placed the pistol
to- his own head, sent. thirty-eight..
caliber bullet through his brain, and fell
dead upon the floor Not much can
be learned about the case tonight as Mrs Tevis
is suffering from. hysteria, and her physicians
will not allow reporters to see her;
but it is known that TeEis bought
out his business partner to-day, and had been
drinking to-night, and was in highly nervous
and. excited conditions before he went home. He
was young man of thirty two years, and very
nervous temperament. His wife is a daughter
of General Reese q. S. A., and was
involved in an unfortunate affair with
young Igleheart two years ago. for
which her husband obtained divorce. but some
months later they met IN Chicago, became
reconciled, were remarked, and since have been
living together.

Destruction of Many Small Dwellings and
Lumber in Cincinnati.

Il Lumber in Cincinnati.
s CINCINNATI Aug. 15.-A most alarming fire
occurred this afternoon in the eastern part of
city known as Fulton, where the houses occupy
a narrow strip of ground between the river and
hill. Eastern avenue is the only thoroughfare
leading through this part of the city, and on it
are the street-car lines. Thetracks of the Little
Miami railroads.&c.. run alon gside of Eastern
avenue and cross It not far from the scene,
of the fire. 1t began in the saw-mlA of
Hinton 81 Cole; on the bank of the river,
near the boiler This, exploded and sent the
burning frebrands in every direction. The ex-
IRENE dry weather made everything exceedingly
combuStible, and in a Few minutes almost the
entire square, covered by humber was ablaze
The fire soon reached the new cattle sheds of the
Little Miami railroad, and they were consumed,
The small tlwelings.in the vicinity SOON fell a.
prey to the. flames and the occupants escaped
with difficulty carrying away only tn, the
highest articles of furniture The
burning buildings and telegraph and
telephone poles fell across the railroad, consum-
ing the tiesand blocking the passage of all trains
to- and from.the Little Miami depot There was
a lack of water and the fremen worked at great
disadvantage. A number Of cases of exhaustion
from the heat are reported. Rumors spread dur
ing the excitement of children burned to death,
and of men killed by the explosion Of the boiler.
These are not yet verified. The loss of Hinton
s. Cole is placed at $60;00o The others are not
estimated yet
By the severest effort the flames were got
under control by Cookbook Ten dwellings were
destroyed, mostly small. frames. The aggregate
loss on them will not exceed 81, 00e, with; light
insurance. Hinton g. Coles. loss is total, they
having no insurance. The track of the Little
Miami railroad was repaired and trains running
at 7 o'clock. Later Investigations fail to con
firm the reports of loss Of life. Four or five
iremen aud police received slight injuries, on
were overcome by heat. but none were, seriously
hurt
