Cured here at an early hour this morn
ing or late last night. Mr.. 0. B. Beck
ham went to Hutchinson yesterday al
ternocn on business, and, returning
late in the evening, he retired without
disturbing his wife whom, he supposed
had retired, and who had on former Oc-
casions asked him not to disturb her
when he came home late. Mr.. Beck
ham is not sound sleeper, but this
morning he oversight himself. and on
going to his wife's room, he tried to open
the door for the purpose OF calling
her but found it locked. He called her
by name several times, but receiving no
answer he broke open the door. The
first sight that met his gaze was his lit
tie twO-year-old daughter lying across
the foot of the bed cold in death, and

right temple, and thirty-two-callber
revolver lying beside her. Medical aid

shot fired with her own hand, and that
she was at the time labOring under ut

following letter:
My Dear Husband: These are the last
lines will ever write to you. May God in
heaven forgive me for what am about to
do, for life has become intolerable to me on
account of ill health. l have not seen

THIRTY BUILDINGS IN ASHES.
Vancouver Is Visited by a Furious

PORTLAND, Ore. June 22.-Fire broke
out early this morning in Vancouver,
B. c.. and in less than two hours swept
over nearly four blocks in the business
portion of the town. These blocks, for
tunately, were covered with small
frame buildings, and the loss will prob
ably not reach $4,000. The insurance
is very light. During the night there
were two fires. both, undoubtedly, of
incendiary origin. Early in the even
ing an old Catholic church in the suburbs
of the town was discovered in flames.
There was every indication that
the building had been set OIL fire.
After the firemen and citizens had re-
turned home. another fire was discOy-
erediin an old building in another part Of
town, about a. m. The third fire was
discovered in the rear of bakery. The
wind sprang up, and before the flames
could he brought under control. it had,
devoured everything on four blocks.
While the fire was in its height Mayor
Brown, of Vancouver, telegraphed to-
Portland for aid, saying the town was
burning up. An engine was sent with
all possible haste, but the fire was
subdued before assistance arrived.
About thirty buildings in all
were destroyed. NO one was In
iured. During the fire the city
iail was burned and two prisoners were
removed with great difficulty so rapid
were the flames. So great was the
panic during the time the flames were
raging that great many persons blocks
away removed their goods and personal
effects into the streets. Many wild
rumors were circulated during the fire
about men being caught cutting hose.
The stories all proved foundationless.
The loss falls mostly upon the poorer
classes of shopkeepers, number Of
W HON lost their all. There will be
some suffering, but outside help will
hardly be required. The origin of the
fires will be rigidly investigated. and, if
caught, the incendiaries will be dealt
with summary.
The latest news from Vancouver, W.
T., places the estimates of loss by fire at
$53. 0OO. The total insurance will not
exceed $l5. 600. The space swept over by
the flames is about four acres. There
were but few insurance risks in
the burned district held by
the Oregon companies or in

the three children that he and his wife
had buried during their married life. he
desired the case to be dropped. Mrs.
Lowenstein recently made damaging,
charges against her husbands charac-'

day insisted that this fact in no way
actuated him in his determination not
to prosecute. Lowenstein was former
ly comrade of Dan COughlin, the de-
tective now under Indictment for the
Cronin murder, and after the Haymar-
ket massacre rendered valuable service
in the apprehension of the anarchists,
being the man who captured Louis

BOLLAGER'S RASH ACT.
The New York Suicide Well
known in La Crosse.
Special to the Globe.
LA CROSSE. Wis. June 22.-Richard
HOllager. who committed suicide i'll
New York Friday, was well known in
this city. where he lived ten years.
Most of that time be had supervision of
the door and sash department in John
Paul's lumber establishment. He was
a temperate man, careful of money, and
is supposed by friends to have saved
quite sum. Still there were suspicious
that he occasionally took flyers in wheat
and stocks. He left here about the LIST
of March for vacation, and in
tended to visit all the larger cities
in the East. No reason is known
for his suicide, as he had no entangling
affairs, though there is some talk of a
disappointment occaSioned by the mar
riage of lady in whom he was inter-
ested, but that occurred some time ago.
He was often very abSent-minded,
and sometimes gloomy. 1t is said he
brought several thousand dollars to this
country, but the report is he put $1,000
in a newspaper adventure at Fargo and
lost it. His father was professor in a
Christiania college, and later a Judge of
the supreme court. The deceased had
no known relatives in this country, eX-
cept a cousin. A few friends left here
for New York tonight to take charge
of the body, and will arrive here with
it next Thursday,
