A MATUTINAL HOlD-UP.
j. D. Hughes Badly Used Up by Foot
pads at South Butte.

About l o'clock this morning j. D.
Hughes was passing the old brickyard at
South Butte when he was waylaid by two
footpads who not only attempted to rob
him, hut used him very roughly. One of
them chewed his left ear until the organ
was almost amputated, while the other
fellow masticated the thumb on his left
hand in a canabalistic manner. The as.
sailed man had in his possession about
$3.50. and he struggled maniully to retain
it. He succeeded in pulling his revolver
with his left hand, and fred four shots
before the robbers wrested it from his
grasp. None of the shots struck them, but
they became frightened and left their vic
tim.
Hughes recently arrived in Butte from
Glendale, where he was employed as
furnaceman at the smelter. He presented
a pitiful spectacle when he arrived in the
city and told the above story to Officer
Mcdonald. His clothing was torn almost
to shreds, and covered with blood from his
mutilated ear. He deplores his inability
to identity either of his assailants.

regarded as an issue, and the action Of
which will necessarily establish precedent.

ton of compliance or Noncompliance with

ANGRY WATERS.
The San Joaquin River Submerges Rob-
erts Island.

STOCKTON, Gala, January 25.-The San
Joaquin River has been rising for the past
week. On Sunday portion OF the city
proper, comprising about one-fifth OF it's
area, was covered with water, little dam
age, however, ensued and the business por
tion was not affected in any way. Later
the Moss track comprising about three
thousand acres of wheat was flooded by
the giving way of the food gate. The
damage is estimated at $4,000. The
water about Roberts Island which is pro-
tected by levees rose nine feet above the
level OF the land. The pressure was too
much for the levees to Withstand, and a
break occurred through which the waters
rushed and soon converted the $4,000
acres of wheat and orchards into a NINA
ture lake. The damage here is estimated
at $35O,OOO Roberts Island is divided
into three divisions with cross levees. The
break occurred in the middle division and
fears are now entertained that the cross
levee which divides the upper and lower
portion from the middle section of the is
land may give way. If the middle section
is not soon repaired there is little hope of
stopping the break for a week, though
most strenuous efforts are being made to

"Au Men Are Liars"

New York, January 26.-After Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher had finished his ser.
mon Sunday a crank rose in the third bal
cony and said deliberately: Christ is
liar" He seemed about to say more, but
after standing few seconds he resumed his
seat. His exact words were not caught by
Mr.. Beecher, nor by any except those
in his immediate vicinity, and
no attention was paid to the
episode. As the audience were leaving the
church, however, a Jealous person who had
sat near the disappearing crank called
policeman and had the man arrested. He
gave his name as Morgan Day, and ex-
planned to the officer that as the Bible
said, All men are liars" Christ. when a
man, must have been liar. At the police
station Day was locked up on the absurd
charge Of disturbing public worship. but
was released on 5000 bail for examination

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
Lost In an Extensive Fire In Philsdel-
phia.

PH1LADELP Ia. January 26.-The i've.
story brick building, Nos. 715 to 719 Arch
street. was discovered on fire at 1:S5
o'clock this morning. and the flames quickly
communicated to TIP Arch street. T)ss
building in which the fire originated is one
of the handsomest on Arch street. The
upper floors were occupied by three firms
of photographers. Each of these firms will
suffer total l0ss. The first floor was oc-
cupied by Monroe Brothers & Company,
Wholesale shoe firm. The building. No.
712 Arch street, was occupied by May u
Brother, straw and millinery goods. The
tiremen, finding their efforts to save the
streams to the st. Cloud Hotel, which ad-
joins the premises Immediately on the east.
The guests in the hotel had all re-.
tired for the night and were start.
led by frantic shouts of ''fre" which came
from the fourth floor. The cry OF warning
created panic in the hostelry and guests
rushed from the rooms partially dressed.
INTO the corridors and down stairs to the

own interests. There were many exciting
incidents and scenes attendant upon the re-
tirement from the hotel but no accidents

building fell with crash into the street.
This as soon followed by the fall of the.
side wall Of a warehouse occupied by May

building shattered by the burning debris. A
number of buildings on the south side of,
Arch street were damaged and their CON-
tents suffered from water. The double
building Nos. 1913 and 725 Arch street, just
west of the Morris building. was entirely
consumed. s
Shortly after it was evident that the st. 4
Cloud Hotel was doomed, as q great vol
ume of heavy smoke came pouring FROM
the fifth floor, through the windows. Dur-a
ing the early stages of the fire, and before it
had reached the hotel, the police ran
through the latter building to awaken the!
guests, who had not previously been
alarmed. Some of them were too sleepy to 4
be aroused, and the officers were obliged to
break in few doors to get the people out. j
By o'clock the cornice and portion of
the top story of the hotel fell into Arch
street, sending up myriads OF cinders. The
st. Cloud Hotel was fve.story structure
with frontage of 80 feet. It had accom-
for $50 guests, and last night
was filled to two-thirds of it's capacity.
The proprietors say they value their fur.
niture and effects at $50, 500, fully covered
by insurance. /
The Gordon Temperance Hotel which
adjnins the St. Cloud on the east side, also
caught fire. The guests, who were mainly
permanent boarders, were directed to leave
it and all of them succeeded in saving their |
personal property. At 3:45 the fire was
under control The loss is now estimated
at from half to three-quarters OF millioni
