COSTLY TEA PARTY.
Aboat Million and Half Lost Dy a
Chicago Fire.

CHICAGO March 26th.-The Central Ware
house, on Rush and North Water streets,
took FIRE early this morning, and with its
valuable store OF teas, coffees and merchan-
disc, was burned to the ground, entailing
an estimated loss of between 81 go goo and
81, 800 600 The fire department had very
hard task, but succeeded in preventing the
flames from destroying the great grain ele-
vators and other buildings in the vicinity.
Alderman Msnierre, Manager of the
warehouse, grimly remarked, as he looked
at the ruins, that it was bis tea party, and
that everybody was invited. In point of
fact, as the water from twenty engine
nozales soaked down the contents OF the
building The basement was soon filled with
water, and when the 10000 cases of tea be-
gan to brew streams of tea gushed from
the windows and doors. The docks were,
for a distance of 100 feet, flooded with the
amber colored liquid, that poured like a
cararac; into the river, and the steam aris-
ing from il periumed the air for blocks
around.
Alderman Manierre is satisfied the fire
was Of incendiary origin, il being the third
fire in the structure within year. which
can be accounted for in no other way. The
building was a six-s.ory brick, which cost
when bniit $50, 900. About 80 perscent. in

1HEIR LEADERS GONE.

A Lun in the Sowder-Turner Hostiiities
in Kentucky.
PINEyILLE (Ky.), March 26th.-It is
stated tonight that jeff King, one of the
outlaw leaders, has been captured, and that
Burch, one of the men wounded yesterday,
has died The warning factions have now
been deprived of their leaders, by death or
capture, and no further trouble is appre-
hended.
THE SCATTERED FIGHTERS.
JEFF King, who alone survived the last
ARRAY, has been fugitive from his former
friends and foes alike, evidence having
been produced to the effect that he robbed
the dead body of his fallen leader as well
as that of Burch. He was captured this
afternoon on the northern slope of Pine
Mountain, seven miles southeast of Pine
vile, by Deputy Sheriff Moss and Marshal
Thomas of Pineyille, assisted by John and
MARI Turner, sons of Ben Turner. They
brought him to Pineville and lodged him
in Jail.
Harvey Turner is still in jail at Tazwell,
and as far as leaders are concerned the
Turner's seem to be as badly off as the
Sowders.
Burch's body was removed to Yellow
Creek to-day for burial, but young Turner
is still at the house of his aunt, Mrs. Cath
crime Parker, whose first husband, King,
and his son, Will King, were killed by
Jack Turner father of Alvin, fifteen years
ago.
The remainder of the Turner's have tenn
porarily subsidized, but it is reported that
number of them are still in the neighbor-
hood bearing arms and ready to resist any
attempt that may be made to arrest them.

Strange Developments from Below.

There is no telling what we may get, il
We keep on boring the earth's bowels, be-
sides oil, salt water, hard water and gas
Wells are reported in the Scientific Ameri-
can at Ecllley, Col, which blow strong
aud constant blast of cool, pure-smelling
air as the herald and accompaniment OF
every approaching storm, and when the
storm has passed, suck the air down with
equal force.
Another kind of well, at Montpelier,
Ind, supplies natural gas with an ebb and
flow of six hours each, exactly like the
tides. 1t is singular that no one has
thought of noticing whether the eoinci-
dence in periodicity extends to particular
hours of the day, so as to indicate SIM
liar origin, or connection, of the phe-
nomenon with that of ocean tides. Peri
odic springs have been explained on the
siphoning principle, but we have seen no
suggestion how that method would work
with air, unless indirectly through alter
nations in water pressure beyond it. The
six-hour terms if accidental, are a very
remarkable coincidence.

Robberies and Bloody Feuds in a Penn
sylvania Community.
UNIoNTowN pa, March 26th.-Robbing
appears TO be the coming epidemic in Fay
cite county. Lewis Hunter was in Union
town on Saturday, and late at night started
for his home at White Rock. when three
men sprang out of the bushes, grasped his
horse and demanded his money. Hunter
fought and dug his knees into the horse,
and the spirited animal sprang off through
the forest. The highwaymen shot after
him, but did not hit him, owing to the
darkness.
1t is evident that others are profting by
the terror inspired by the McClellandtown
band, and under cover of their fame are
operating, hoping the blame may attach to
other outlaws.
A EEIGHBoRHooD FEUD.
About two years ago feud arose be-
tween Dolph Sisler and John DIETRICH
well-to-do farmers living near Stewards
town, in West Virginia, over trespasses by
Sisters hogs. Fire was added to the feud
not long ago by Sisters preferring charge
of illegal "queer selling against DIETRICH,
who owns distillery, but which failed TO
be established. and DIETRICH was acquitted.
Last Sunday Allen and AlonZo Sisler and
George and Flors DIETRICH, all nearing
manhood, attended the Baptist Sunday
school at Stewartstown. Soon the bad
blood showed itself, and the congregation
were astonished TO see the youths of each
family brandishing revolvers at each other
and starting in to fight.
A SCENE OF WILD CONFUSION
Arose the women and children screaming
AMI becoming frantic, and the few men
present could not quell the disturbance.
They soon had the church to themselves,
and in the desperate fight that ensued the
DIETRICH family were badly used up,
Georges head being beaten up with a re-
volver, and the others being severely hurt.
Assistance arriving, the gang was put to
flight, the Sisler brothers fleeing to Union
town yesterday, and are now thought to be
secreted st one of the numerous coke
works in that region.
The blood despatched walls of the
church show the desperate nature of the
contest. Great excitement prevails in the
neighborhood, and the end of the trouble
is not yet
