The Fault of the Law-FIre Escape
 Regulations Leave the Injured With
 out Recourse.
 NEWPORT, March 2.-In the suit of George E. Grant vs. the Slater Mill and Power com- pany, Chief Justice Durfee in the Supreme court at Providence yesterday gave iudg- ment for the defendant by sustaining the de. murrer. The action was brought by an em. ploye in the jewelry establishment of William Robinson in the upper part of the Calender building, owned by the defendants, which was visited by fire in November, 1882, and was for injuries received in jumping from a window of the building A number of the operatives and relatives of the victims of the. calamity brought similar suits. all of which are set aside by this decision. The plaintiffs charged that the defend ants liability arose from their violation of chapter 688 of the public laws in neglectine to provide certain fire escapes. The court holds that the law does not specify whether the owner or lessee should be liable for dama- ges, and that in the present case no equita ble liability rests upon the defendants

 Million Dollars.
 UTICA, N. Y, March 2-Shortly after a. m. to day the most disast rous confagration that has ever visited Utica broke out in the extensive shoe manufactory of H. J. Hol- brook $ Co., on Catharine street. The flames spread with fearful rapidity and soon the building was in 8 mass of flames. The fire department responded promptly to the alarm. The fire communicated to the wholesale clothing establishment of J. Rockwell & Go. and the Utica City Nati onal bank. The flames ragged furiously and assistance was t.legraphed for which was responded 10 by the departments of Rome, Whitesboro and Little Falls. In short space of time the fire. had reached the store of N c. New ell Son, dealers in paints, paper, etc., which proved itself to be excellent burning material. The drug store of John B.. McMillin adjoining was also burned and the office press room. etc., of the Daily Observer in the same building was completely gutted. Nothing was saved except the files The wholesale grocery house of Comstock Brothers and the store of James Sayre < Sons, dealers in hardware, belting, etc, and the plumbing establishment of B. Martin were completely wrecked M. B. Delong's furniture house was laid in ashes. J. J.. Gray's insurance office, Clominzer's barber shop and Truston's billiard rooms were completely burned. Many other establishments were badly injured by smoke and water. The heat on the op- eil of& &ho IF1fanEA and large quantity of plate glass destroyed. The fire was under control about l p. m., although the ruins are still smouldering. The loss is variously estimated at from one and one. half to two million dollars The origin of the fire is a mystery, but 1t IS sup posed to have caught in the engine room of Holbrook's building. The Western Union company's wires were prostrated by falling walls and communication was delayed several hours The losses are partially insured.

A Farmer Murdered in Cold Blood. ST. LOUIS, March 2.-Anothsr cowardly murder has startled this community. It ia similar in it's nature to that of Craighead, of Callaway county, last Wednesday. While the people are still discussing that affair, and while the perpetrators are still uncaught, news comes from Benton county of the mur- der of John Wells. 8 well-to-do and well known citizen, who resided on his farm, about five miles from the town of Windsor. Last night about half past eight o'clock, while sitting with his family, MT. Wells heard call at the front door and stepped from the sitting room into the hall. AS he did so two men entered the hall from an outer door. MT. Wells advanced to meet them, inquiring what was wanted. For re- ply both men covered him with revolvers and demanded hls money. MT. Wells turned and sprang toward the door of the sitting room which he had just left. At the same instant both men fired and Wells fell. They both fired again and then fled, disappearing in the darkness. Wells died without speaking, three bullets having struck him. An alarm was immediately given by the family, but so far there seems to be no clew to the perpe- trators of the crime.
