A STUBBORN FIRE.
Wheeling, w. ", Suffers Loss of
$4,000 by Fire,

WHEELING, w. Va, April 13.-The
most stubborn fire to fight as well as the
most disastrous in its results that
Wheeling has experienced for years,
broke out at o'clock this morning in
the storerOom of Wilson q Chapman,
dealers in paints, oils, sash blinds and
glass, on Main street, in the heart of
this city. The intlammable character
of the stock made the file peculiarly
stubborn, and in spite of heroic efforts
by the fire department it was not under
control for three hours, having
in the meantime spread to
the adjoining building occupied
by S. ii. Bell, commission merchant. on
the first floor; Wheeling Hat Bleachery
on the second, and various lodge rooms
ON the upper floors, and to the next
building, occupied by offices, all being
four-story brick structures. The first
and second were Quilted and the third
badly damaged. f. Unruhe, owner of
the building occupied by Wilson d
Chapman, loses $4,000, partially insured;
Wilson u Chapman, $4,000, insured for
$4,000; J. W. Paxton, on building, S20,-
600; G. A. R., on lodge fixtures and
furniture, $1,000; insured for $3.50. This
hall was also occupied by the Recha-
bites, Sons of Veterans, Elks and other
lodges, who lose everything. The loss
will aggregate $4,000, including dam
age to the Howell hotel and other adj
Joining buildings.

BRUSHINGHAM ESCAPES.
The Chicago Preacher Narrowly
Escapes Conviction.

CHICAGO, April 13.-The jury in the
famous Brushingham case, after max
ing a night of it, finally disagreed. Rev.
John p Brushingham was the defend
ant. He is Methodist clergyman, and
has charge of the Ada street church.
Eva Parker, siXteen-year-old girl,
after renouncing the Baptist faith, be-
came convert to Mr.. Brushingham'S
church, filling the position of Sunday
school teacher and city missionary. Last
January she became mother, and she
charged the fatherhood of her child upon
her pastor. The case began before
Judge Grinnell, of anarchist fame, over
a week ago, and drew crowded houses.
The excitement, particularly in Meth
OdiSt church circles, was very marked.
Gen. l. n. Stiles was for the defense,
and he openly charged conspiracy, in
which X. c. Craft, a deacon in the
church, was the prime mover. The lat
ter was the local superintendent of the
Prudential Life Insurance company, of
Newark, n. j.. and yesterday he was
asked for his resignation, which he
promptly furnished. The jury stood
ten guilty and two for acquittal.

ESCAPED THE FLOOD.
The River Is Booming at Min
neapolis, but the Flats Are Above
Danger.

There is little danger of high water
within the limits of Minneapolis, though
the Mississippi has reached high
stage. For the first time in many
months the water is rushing over the
falls like torrent. with every
mill pond booming full and the canals
taking off their entire complement. Mill
ers are smiling over the increased power
anda the big wheat-eaters are running
along at the top of their capacity. Very
much of the water which falls upon the
great shed of the upper Mississippi is
restrained at the reservoirs and will be
utilized during the low stages of the
summer months. The Minnesota is
booming full and pours a fresh torrent
into the larger stream below Fort
Smelling, to the discontinue Of low
ground at st. Paul. The creeks are
also full, and the water in the urban
lakes is rising quite rapidly, though no
trouble is anticipated.
On the lower. or Mendoza flats, be-
meath the bridges, the water is uncom-
fortably near the picturesque Bohemian
village. and while the motley pOpula-
ton is on the alert, no danger is appre-
hended. The industrious wood gather

as usual, and the rising waters are
viewed with the utmost nonchalance.
The east flats are higher groliad and are
in no possible danger. They are oppO-
site the rapids and would be affected by
scarcely any amount of water.

EAST LIVERPOOL, O.. April 13.-Yes-
terday George Burton, well-tO-do resi-
dent of this place, turned his wife out
of the house and at once left for Pitts
burg. Last evening Burton returned,
accompanied by a dashing young widow
named Mrs. Fenton. The woman was
at once installed as his mistress, and
when Burton's wife applied for admit
lance, she was driven away. Tine fe-
male friends of his wife determined to
avenge her wrongs, and at 1920 O'Clock
800 women, well supplied with stale
eggs. assaulted the house and beat the
doors open. Burton and the widow
were dragged out and Burton was
chased several blocks, while the shower
of eggs fell thick and fast upon him.
The woman was pounded and kicked
until she fell fainting in the street. The
town marshal rescued her from the
mob, and both she and Burton were
locked up for safety. The excitement

THE LOSSES IMMENSE.
Sand Creeks Overflow Does Over
100000 Damages.

Special to the Globe.
JORDAN, Mimi, April 13.-The flood
still continues to sweep down Sand
creek with dreadful velocity. One por
ton of Mrs. Hollands ice house is gone.
This morning the little remaining por-
ton of Schultz and KaiSer'S barn was
taken down to save it. NJ. Seys' build
ing is still standing, but Is in very
precarious position and may go at any
moment. The check dam at f. NicoliiS'
upper pond went this morning. Yester-
day and to-day the firemen were called
out at an early hour and worked hard
all day with the citizens and succeeded
in saving Mrs. Hollands fine residence.
For time yesterday the wash at Mrs.
Besenins' building, occupied by G. Rod
ing, was great, but by unceaSing labor
was checked. Kaufman & Eckerts' har-
ness shop received close call. Yester-
day morning several small barns in
Stockholm fioated off. The damage in
the village will nearly reach 100000.
The Minneapolis IL st. Louis Railway
company sustained many thousand dol
liars damage between here and Helena,
and have crews of men filling in with
rock, to prevent further waShOuts.
The company will probably sustain loss
to the amount of $4,000 to $4,000. F.
Nicolii's loss will reach nearly $1,000;
Mrs. Hollands, $1,000; Erick Anderson,
loss of wood and barn, 81, 800, and nu-
merous other losses ranging from $25 to
$1,000. The creek has subsidized cOnsid-
erably, but is yet very wild. The chan
mel at the breweries has changed its
course four OF fiyerods. The loss to the
village in washed-out streets and
bridges will aggregate $4,000. The
oldest inhabitants say they never saw
such an overflow in Sand creek since
the first settlement of the country. The
damage to farmers south of here is
great. In some places acres of culti-
waited land have been swept away, and
pieces of timber land have been washed

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
In addition to what has been said as
to this cotton tax, it should be said that
it has always been claimed that it was
unconstitutional, and | must admit that
it SO seems to ne. 1t is difficult to under
stand how tax of > cents per pound on
cotton is more defensibie or valid than
would be a tax Of > cents a buShel on
wheat OF of cents per bushel on corn,
or of 81 head on each horse, cow or OK,
when all other classes of property was
left untaXed. But do not propose to
discuss this question of the conStitu-
tionality of this law. No one has right
dogmatically to assert that it was or
was not constitutional, for in a case
properly brought before the supreme
court of the United States, one of the
judges being absent, the court was
equally divided on the Question-four
affirming and four denying the conStitu-
tionality of the law. But whether con-
Stituti0nal OF unconstitutional, it's JUS
tice can only be affirmed Oh the ground
that it was intended as an offset to the
burden of the direct tax which had
before been collected from the other
states.
UNJUST.
No fair-minded man could Justify such
or as an Offset to. some other tax. and no
one would attempt to justify it if i'm
posed on the staples of his locality.
When we place side by side the figures,
showing the sum due on the direct tax
and that collected on the cotton tax in
those states, it is clear that the states
whose citizens did not pay the direct tax
were compelled to pay tax, not only of
an equal, but of much greater amount.
| do not argue that all the cotton tax
fell on these states. 1t did not. A few
of the owners of the cotton so taxed
doubtless lived in other states, and the
imposition of the tax, it may with truth
be said, raised more or less the price of
the cotton, so that the tax was in part
paid by the consumer. But the fact re-
mains, and it is indisputable, that the
burden was primarily and principally
on the inhabitants of those states, and
was beyond question more than an
eduiyalent-fOr the direct tax not col
lected. The preteXt, therefore, for this
bill, and the only plausible pretext that
can be urged i'll its justification, diSap-
pears when the facts are understood. If
the direct tax is to be refunded because
il was not in all cases equal, with what
force can it be urged that the cotton tax
should also be refunded, in view of its
manifest inequality and probable I'M
constitutionality. No tax ever levied
was in all cases and as to every person
equal. Perfect equality is unattainable.
But never before have heard that Sug
gested as a reason for the refunding of
the tax. No government could be car
ried OH on such theory.
A PANDORA'S BOX.
1t is said by the advocates of this bill
on the Republican side of the house
that if those against whom the cotton
tax was imposed go into the courts and
get decree of the supreme court of
the United States that this was I'M
constitutional, they will favor the repeat

limited by article 8, section 8 of the con-
stitUtien to the amount of taxes that may
be levied and collected by a county for
