ladies of that county made crusade
on saloon and gambling house at
that place Monday night, denolish-
ing the entire establishment The
ladies attacked the building wheas it
was crowded with their aprons full
of Jumps of coal, breaking every
window glass and cleaning out the
establishment. The inmates scatter
ed i'll every direction, some OF the
loungers being husbands Of the

Goal for P.i@o-iH Hagn.

Philadelphia, Feb. For the
first time in the history of the gov
ernment Secretary Of the Navy
has opened negotiations with ship
owners in this state to carry coal 4
600 miles from Philadelphia to the
Samoan islands. A few days ago
Secretary Whitney wrote to c. II.
Eldredge, pay director of the United
States navy in this city, asking him
for what price anthracite coal could
be bought. The secretary said 5000
tons We're wanted for use at the
United States eoaling station in the
Samoan islands, and informing Mr..
Eldredge to send him the names of
ship-owners. Mr.. Eldredge sent to
MIR. Whitney the names of those
companies which he thought would
undertake the contract, and it is
more than likely that the Reading
Coal and Iron company will be
awarded the contract.

New York, Feb. Miss Edith
Phelps, daughter Of James Phelps,
of this town, who in common unprv-
fessional phrase broke her neck a
few days ago, bids fair to recover.
Miss Edith attempted to raise a win
dow sash which was caught fast by
ice that had gathered at the sill.
The obstruction suddenly gave way
permitting her head to fly back with
a violent jerk that dislocated the
vertebra of the neck. Her h. ad 10

The surgeon who was called to at
tend her succeeded i'll reducing the
dislocation and then adjusted al QUIZ d

in it's natural position. It is believ-
ed that in the course of time she will
entirely recover without any deform-

So far she has suffered no great pain
Surgeons say that injuries of the
nature indicated followed by perfect
recovery without deformity are ex-

Starr, United States witness, to-
day received telegram from Eufala
I. T., that Belle Starr was killed
there last night. Belle was the wife
of Cole Younger, and jim Starr, her
subsequent husband, was shot down
by the side Of Belle less than a year
ago. She then lived with John, g
cousin of jim Starr. Belle Starr
has been recognized as desperate
woman and her exploits have been
chronicled in the newspapers more
than once. There is no other infor-
nation than the above given.
Belle Starr was, without exception.
the most desperate woman that ever
figured on the American border,
and her operations i'll connection
with a strong band of outlaws has
extended over period OF upward Of
dozen years time and in territory
covered the region from New Mexi-
co into Arkansas. She was the wife
originally of Cole Younger, aud Gv-
ed with him in Texas before that no.
torious bandit entered his desperate
career in Missouri, Iowa aud Mime
sofa After Cole Younger's capture
in Minnesota she became the wife OF
Jim Starr, of the Indian Territory,
and for several years she, her hus-
band and their outlaw band figured
in many of the most desperate deeds
of outlawry, such as robberies. mur-
ders, feudal affrays, shielding fugi-
tives, etc.
Often Belle Starr went disguised
as a man alone into the frontier
towns on the Southwestern border,
secured information and directed the
subsequent operation of her bandit
associates. In many of these ex-
ploits she acted rs commander and
her escapes from death or capture
on several occasions were almost
miraculous. She was wounded in Il
/ pitched battle near the Arkansas
river about four years ago in which
several Federal soldiers were shot
and two members of the Starr gang
killed. A wounded companion was
! drowned and his body recovered
several weeks later, about so miles
from the scene, by the authorities.
A little over two years ago she be-
came widow. Jim Starr being shot
dead at her side in pitched battle
similar to the one just described.
Since then she has lived on terms OF
Illicit intimacy with John Starr, a
cousin of her late husband. Her op-
erations have not been of so bold a
character or so frequent the past
two years as previously, many of the
worst men of the old gang having
been removed" in combats with
State and Federal posses and the
multiplying of railroads and other
factors of civilization making opera
tions on the old trails very danger

Little is known of Belle STAIRS
early life before she went son the
road" She was of Western birth
and had very few elements of cult
ure or education in her mental make

of assault or defence. She possess

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-THE extensive
establishment Of James Wyeth Il Bro,
manufacturing chemists, at l4l2 and l4lt
Walnut street, burned yesterday. The
building was completely gutted and the
loss is estimated at between slOO,VU and
sSOO,OO0 The fire created great excite
ment in the nelghborhood. Families hast
lily picked up their most valuable posses
sions and moved 10 safer quarters. The
guests Of the Hotel Stratford were alarmed
and many of them moved out The theory
generally advanced is that Two combusti-
BILE chemicals came into contact and started
the fire, which spread rapidly through the
crowded cellar. During the progress OF the
fire the central portion of the double build
ing fell, burying several hremen. George
Showers Was taken out dead and Abraham
Savery and VIM. Buzzard injured, the lat
ter quite seriously.
The loss on the buildings, machinery and
stock aggregated S50O,000, on which there
is an insurance OF over S3O0,0OO. The loss
on the annex 10 the Hotel Stratford,
which was also partly damaged, Will be
about $40, 900; covered by insurance.
A fire broke out In the Standard Oil CON-
pauy's works, at Constable Hook, N. j.,
last night. and the main buildings were
burned. For several hours the lower part
Of New York bay was brightly illuminated.
All attempts 10 quench the flames on the
part of the firemen proved futile. The loss
Is estimated at between Sb0,00O and s76, ,OOO.

New York Herald Russell Harrison is
intrusted by his father to examine into the
political situation here. A dinner party
was given last night by Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid in honor Of young Mr.. Harrison, and
several journalists connected with republi.
can papers In the city were among the
guests. Russell was newspaper man In
Montana. Among politicians up town last
night young Mr.. Harrison's decision TO re-
main here was taken as pretty good indi-
cation that the president-elect had not yet
solved the New York problem. Russell,
in conversation with several persons here
yesterday, among We're ex congressman Lo-
gan NJ. Root, Of Arkansas, admitted he had
business here Of a political character.
"Like his father" said Mr.. Root, "he is
gifted with the power to hold his tongue,
30 that he did not go into further details
about the object Of his visit" The report
that Mr. Whitelaw Reid would likely rep
resent New York in the cabinet was much
commented upon, and many Of the politi-
clans thought that because the Harris0ns
were his guests the presdent-elect must
think pretty well of Mr.. Reid.
