Hotel on Fire-Suspicion of Foul Play.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25.-At two o'clock this
morning fire was discovered in one Of the
north rooms of the metropolitan Hotel on
7th street The fire department arrived
promptly, but the flames had gained such
Roadway that it required considerable effort
to confne them to the one building. One
man was taken from his bed, nearly suffo-
Gated and very seriously burned about the
head and body. He was taken to the hos
pital. A woman was seen at window on
the 3rd floor: but seemed powerless to open
it. A fireman threw rock, breaking the
window, and the woman threw herselfhead
foremost to the pavement. She died few
minutes later. She was badly burned, and
had deep incision in her throat, which
looked as though it had been done with a
razor. 1t is thought that the building was
accidentally set on fire by some woman's
lover, although there are rumors that the
woman whose throat was cut had been muir
dered, and that the assassin had set fire to
the building to cover his crime. The loss is
estimated at So, 500

Mr.. JoRGENsEN, the last of the Virginia

goes with him or not is matter about

few good things done by General Mahone,
probably the best was his removal of Mr.
Jorgensen from Congress. That good deed
was impaired by his making him register OF
the land Office at Walla Walla; but the fact
that he took him out Of Congress, although
he first supplied his place with Hooper and
then with Brady. will always be remember
ed favorably by the people Of Virginia.
Now that the terms of the nefarious Arthur
