Mackin and Gallagher to the Joliet prison

to Judge Gresham to step between his clients
and the penitentiary. The judge was pow
erless to stay the execution of the sentence
imposed in the district court. Judge Blodg
e. was next appealed to, and he ordered the
United States marshal who has the prison
ers in charge, not TO take them to Joliet be-
fore the oath In the meantime a writ of
error is being argued before Judge Gresham,
who will probably render decision on Mon

enormous. The chancery office, containing
all the records of the courts, state deeds,
etc., was destroyed. Two explosions were
heard in the quartermaster generals office
on the first floor at the northwest corner of
the state house this morning. The explo-
sions were followed by flames that shot
through the windows, and in ten minutes
the apartments were in ruins. The flames
followed the steam pipes to the floor above
and quickly set fire to the offices of the
clerk in chancery. From these the con-
fagration extended to the geological museum
on the third floor. In this were many valu-
able state relics. but the most valuable were

The engines are still playing on the ruins in
order that access may be had to the chancery
vault, where exceedingly valuable papers re-
lating to thousands of estates are kept. The
vaults are not burned, but are believed to be
full of water, which will cause almost as
much damage as fire. The loss will not fall
below 100000. The part destroyed is
facade of the original state house built in
1895. The explosion in the quartermaster's
room, it is thought was caused by confined
gas, which in some way ignited.
