FIRE FLAMES.
North Carolina, Visited by a
Disastrous Fire.

WILMIHGToN, n. c., Feb. 21.-The steamer
Bladen, plying between this city and Fay
etteville, n. c., caught fire this afternoon
about O'Clock. just before reaching her
wharf, and owing to the inhammable nature
of her cargo, consisting of spirits of turpen-
tine and cotton, was Immediately enyeloped
in flames. The pilot headed her to the near
est available wharf, and the passengers sue
ceeded in escaping-some by boats from adj
joining vessels, and others by jumping over
board, when they were quickly rescued. The
steamer landed against the wharf OF the New
York and Wilmington Steamship Company,
and the fire was quickly communi-
Gated to the sheds and warehouses thereon.
All the WharYes and sheds being saturated
with rOsin and turpeutine the spread of the
fire was rapid, and, despite the efforts of the
tremen, became a disastrous conhagration.
There was a gale blowing from the south
west, and soon the blocks on the water front
were burning furiously. At about o'clock
the fire was gotten under control, but not
until il had destroyed 81 800, 600 worth of
property. Starting from Chestnut street.

Augusta Railroad Companies, and several
boarding houses were also destroyed, and in
addition to the steamer Bladen, the steamer
River Queen of the same line was burned to
the waters edge. The American schooner
Lilly Holmes was also burned and will prove
total loss. Over $250,OO0 worth of goods
were burned in one warehouse. Owing to
sparks waited by the high winds numerous
private dwellings caught fire and were
burned to the ground. including those of
Hon. George Clark. Colonel w. p. Brink
Mr.. Solomon Baer and about thirty others
In addition a block of small tenaments
occupied by colOred people was completely
swept away, although nearly a mile
distant from the main fire. The general Of
fees of the Atlantic Coast line were DESTROYED
with numerous valuable papers and records.
The Front Street Methodist Church was also
burned and is total loss. Owing to the gen.
eral decentralization, it is impossible to ascer-
tain tonight the individual losses or insur-
ance. The telegraph wires in the streets
were pulled down, and communication is
difficult, though the management is using
every possible endeavor TO keep the service
intact. so many poor people are burned out

on this account, and active efforts are being

Residing in This Country Ordered
Home by Their Emperor.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22-When Original An
drews. the pawnbroker, left for Joliet recent
ly to serve out his term of eight years in the
penitentiary for receiving stolen property, he
left behind his wife and daughter to look af-
ter the family pawnshop at No. 800 State
street. A week ago J. c. Wallace was put in
charge of the shop bp the Sheriff as custodi-
an, representing Simon Frankel, of New
York. who had obtained a judgment of 81 300
against Andrews. For safe keeping Wallace
put about 500 worth of watches and jewelry
into two boxes which he allowed to remain
in the store. Back of the room is the family
parlor used also as private Office. In this
Wallace put a bunk and slept. In a little
room adjoining slept Mrs. Andrews
and her daughter. A partition,
which reaches only half way
to the ceiling separates this little room from
the larger one. in which Wallace slept. Sat
urday morning about O'Clock, Wallace says
he was awakened by hearing Mrs. Andrews
scream "Fire. fire, murder and robbers" He
ssw her in the room. When she found he
was awake she said 81 have been robbed;
81 5000 is missing from under my pillow and
500 worth of iewelry. You are robbed, too.
Mr.. W allace. 1Our boxes are DrOkeu OpeH
Wallace went into the store to investigate.
He found the boxes broken open and realized
that the jewelry was gone. He wondered at
the time how Mrs. Andrews knew the boxes
were broken open, as it was dark in the store
and she could not have seen them from
where she was standing when she told him
he had been robbed. The back door was
found unlocked. 1t had been opened from
the inside, so had the shutters to the back
window. Wallace noticed that, although
there was light snow on the ground, there
were no tracks leading away from the door
steps or the window. Wallace felt dazed, a
though he had been chloroformed. Mrs. An
drews claims that her loss is 81, 800 in money,
which was under her pillow, and 5000 in
jewelry, which was in her room. 1t was re-
ported that there was -, 100 worth of iewelry
and watches stolen from the boxes in the
custody of Wallace, but he said last night
that there was not more than 800 worth
stolen from him. The Sheriff is responsible
for the amount stolen from custodian Wal
lace, and will have to indemnify Simon
Frankel, the holder of the judgment. The
police say that it is a clever burglary. They
have made no arrests.

him, and he proposed elopement' The
couple disappeared, leaving Mrs. Burke at
home alone. For a week she was kept in
ignorance of his whereabouts, as she had re-
ceived word from him that he was going to
Greene County on some important business.
The girl, young as the was taught class in
music, and she was absent a good DEAL and,
consequently, not missed. When it finally
dawned upon Mrs. Myrtle's mind that her
husband was a perfidious wretch, officers
were set upon his track and when next
heard OF he had been in Lyons, Greene
County, praying for work. He called upon
Mr.. r. F. Reed, strict temperance advo-
cate and a consistent Christian. Mr.. Reed
listened to DR.. Myrtle's pltiful story,
which was to the effect that his house
and everything in it had been burned, and
In consequence, he and his young wife were
wanderers upon the face of the earth, when
Mr.. Reed gave him employment Every
night the Doctor, who was also a devout
Christian, led the family prayers and regu-
larry attended church with his employer
Dr.. Myrtle was very intelligent and we'll
educated man, of good address, and could
make a brilliant prayer. He went to Sun
day-school and lectured to the school chill
dren, and made such eloquent addresses that
he startled the community. His alleged
wife, so young, pretty and accomplished
won the affections of Mr. Reeds family, but
fearful that they would be found out, the
couple took night train for
Yincennes, and left Mr.. Reeds roof as mys-
teriously as they had entered it. DR.. Myrtle
had little money, but he did not dare remain
here, and he took the south-bound train on
the Evansville and Terre Haute Road and
went to Patoka, where he found employ
ployment on the farm of Mr.. George Gun
ningham, the City Marshal of Brazil. Mr..
Hatton Henderson traced Myrtle up, and
last night found the couple comfortably en-
sconced at the aforesaid place. Myrtle was
at once arrested and handcuffed and brought
here Saturday on his way to the Clay County
Jail.

DASTARDLY DEED.
A beautiful Little Girl Ruined by Her Steps
Father.

NISCENNEs. Ind, Feb. 2l.-Dr. +. Il. Myr.
tie, physician in heretofore good standing,
of Center Point. Clay County, has involved
himself in difficulty of mammoth proper
tons which promises to engalf him in end
less trouble and land him behind the bars.
DR.. Myrtle was formerly a resident of In
dianapolis, where he was engaged in the
silver-plaring business. While there he mar
ried grass widow by the name of Burke,
who had a pretty daughter growing up.
After his marriage Myrtle removed to Clay
County and set himself up az physician, and
claims that he enjoyed a lucrative practice.
Time passed, and the festive Doctor wearied
of his wife, who is pleasant. agreeable and
virtuous woman, and he made love to his
step-daughter Pearl Burke, a bright and
beautiful little girl only twelve years Of age.
The dactor is forty years of age, OF persua-
sive address, and he succeeded in getting the
child to listen to him. He so gained her
goodwill that his power over her was end
less, and she obeyed his every within. For
months the intimacy of this Doctor and the
child went on, the wife all the while appa-
rentIy utterly oblivious of their relations and
after the Doctor had the poor child COM
pletely in his power instead of Offering his
protection and parental consideration he be-
trayed her and involved her in shame and
disgrace that can end in this world only at
the grave. Two weeks ago the unfortunate
girl discovered her condition and ct once
poured her pitiful tale in DIR. Myrtle's ears.
He refused to listen to her until she declared
she would commit suicide, which frightened

A Coke Famine.

ST. LOTS. Feb. 2OIt is stated here that the vul-
can Iron Works at Carondelet, will again shut
down in a few days. The cause OF the suspension
this time is due to the difficulty OF the works in
obtaining coke owing to the general strike in
progress in the coke regions at Pittsburg and
C0llinSville. II has been learned from reliable
sources that if an immediate understanding is
not arrived at by the miners and their employees,
works similar TO the Vulcan will be compelled to
shut down throughout this entire vicinity.

teryfewed.


NEW YoRK, Feb. 22.-The Mail and Ex-
press publishes the following interview With
Ching HOY. the Chinese Counsel in this
city, based upon st. Louis dispatch, saying
that the Chinese Imperial Government con-
templates relaliatory measures on account
Of the treatment accorded Chinese subjects
in this country: II can not say that am
advised that an Imperial proclamation has
been issued compelling all Cinnamon in this
country to return home, but can say that
the Consul General at San Francisco has sent
out notices advising all Cinnamon to leave.
Whether the Government is back OF this
j can not say. As to the suggestion
of retaliation, have no doubt
measures of this kind will be taken by our
Government. II Cinnamon are driven out
and outraged here, why can't our people
drive out al Americans from China? The
good fame Of this country has been disgraced
By the recent outrsges and the question has
become very serious. There is no protection
to the Cinnamon at all. But American mer-
chants and missionaries are well treated in
China, and whenever ul-treated the Govern
ment takes prompt action-not only paying
damages, but re 1ressing the wrong done.
What don't understand is why the good
people of the East here remain silent. II
certainly was not the intention Of Congress
that merchants and others should be treated

TIE Emperor of China Commands the Re
turn of His Subjects Residing in
This Country.

CHICAGO, Feb. PA special dispatch from
st. Louis says the Chinese community in St.
Louis has received what is alleged to be a
genuine copy OF an Imperial proclamation
requiring that on or before the 18th day of
the fifth moon of the present..year MAY 15)
all subjects Of the Tai Tszing Empire (China)
now residing in the United States of Ameri-
ca return home, and instructing them that
upon application to their Consuls free trans
portation will be provided from any part OF
the United States to any part of the Chinese
Empire, except the Province of Tuong Tung,
whose citizens because of superior numbers,
are required to pay half fare The procla-
nation, while 1t embodies no threats, broad
~ intimates that the Chinese Government
intends to speedily retaliate upon the Amer
lean export trade and American residents in
China for the long-continued outrages upon
the Chinese in this country. This design, if
carried out, will destroy an annual export
OF $4,000, 900 and expose 1000 Americans TO
the terrors of Imperial persecution. Most
OF the $1,000 Cinnamon in this country are
expected to obey the proclamation. Promi-
nent Chinese residents OF Chicago claim that
no information concerning the proclamation
has been received and the truth of the re.
port is doubted. Advices from New York
and Washington are to the same effect
