CHICAGO. Oct IA terribly quick-spreadng
fire broke out in the onestory- and-ah half brick
cottage at No. Sc Vernon-park Place, owned and
occupied by W. P. Bates, a few minutes after
o'clock this morning, in which four persons were
burned to death. The family consisted of five
persons and servant girl, and all but two met a
most horrible death. An alarm was sounded at
6:25. When the fremen arrived on the scene
the house was in a blaze. Fire Marshal Com pton
found Mr.. Bates in the alley at the side of the
house. suffering from severe burns, but able to
tell the story of the catastrophe. Wringing his
hands in agony, over the loss of his family, and
suffering keeniy from his own severe hurts, he
said that at o'clock this morning the servant
girl started fire in the kitchen and went
out doors a moment later, leaving the
door open. She returned in minute
or two, and found the kitchen in a blaze. The
girl ran away. screaming with fright, and Mr.
Bates was aroused. He rushed into the kitchen
and tried to extinguish the flames with hose
attached to the hydrant, and afterward with
buckets. Not succeeding he rushed out and
sent in an alarm. The firemen went to work on
the blazing pile with a will and succeeded in
putting the fire out in about fifteen minutes
The entire interior OF the house was Quilted, but
the walls remained intact.
When the firemen entered the houe thew found
the charred bodies of the entire family with the
exception of Mr.. Bates. They were: Mrs. Mary
e. Bates, aged 30; John Bates, aged 5; Edward
Bates, an infant; Mrs. Dreylson, aged 70
mother OF Mrs; Bates The body of Mrs
Bates was found lying two feet from the front
window on the first floor. burned to a crisp The
charred remains of her baby were lying close by.
The remains of Mrs. Dreylson were found nm
stairs. where she died of sufocation; the body
was not much burned. The partitions and walls
of the house were lined with felt, and when the
blaze once started it spread all over the house
with inconceivable rapidity. The charred bodies
were removed to the morgue by patrol wagon.
The house was valued at $1,000, and there
was no insurance on it. Nothing was heard of
servant girl after her flight. 1t is also said that
a brother of Mrs. Bates was lodging at the
house, and was seen about the place when the
fire was in progress but suddenly disappeared.

Opportunity to Vindicate His Action.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 19-Dispatches from Santa

was lately removed from oficein that Territory,
arrived at his home yesterday. and last night
sent the following telegram:
ITO Hon. A III. Garland, Attorney general:
II infer from newspaper dispatches that my
suspension was caused by the appointment of
Stephen w. Dorsey as one of the jury commits
sioners in the Coifax County Court court having
no jurisdiction of United States land matters or
business bad state of affairs existed in that
county. Large numbers of the people
divided into angry and hos
tile factions, arising out of strictly
local causes. A great part of the remainder
were in sympathy with one or the other of these
factions. Criminal assault had been made on
the county Jail, and three men killed The fac
tiona feeling was bitter, and various armed con-
dicts had been threatened. Disnterested and
competent jurors were difficult to be found.
Among the few men who had taken no part or
who had no sympathy with either side, was Dor
sey. 1t was believed his appointment and action
as jury commissioner would greatly tend to al
leviate the unhappy condition of things here.
My action was dictated solely by this last con-
sideration. l disire to visit Washington for the
purpose of my vindscation. Please wire me.

The Chlef-justice states that he has nothing

in this dispatch, although he knew the parties
who preferred the charges, and the motives that
prompted them. Every member of the bar in
Judge Vincents district has sent dispatches to
the President and Attorney general. vouching

and asking that he be accorded fair hearing.
