Hon. James Buckner Dying
Other VIKINGS.

WICHITA, July 29.-The most disas-
trous fire in the history of Wichita
broke out about o'clock this morning,
and before it was subdued the flames
had burned property to the amount of
$40, 900. The fire Origined in the base
ment of q three story building occupied
by the Cannon Fruit Commission COM
pany and quickly spread to a fine three
story block adjoining, occupied by the
Wichita Wholesale Grocery company.
There was some delay in turning in an
alarm and by the time the department
was on the ground the flames had gained
great Roadway. Eight streams were
soon playing but an insufficient water
pressure allowed the fire to
get beyond control and the
buildings were completely burned
out. The dividing wall fell in
and completed the ruin. Two Mis-
souri, Pacific cars that came in yester-
day with 81 900 worth of sugar were
standing in the rear Of the grocery
company's building ready for unload
ing and these with their contents were
entirely consumed. The cause of the
fire is not known. The wholesale gro
Gerry company had on hand a
stock approximating 100000 on
which there was an insurance of $47,-
900. Last week $25 900 of the insur-
ance bad been allowed to lapse. The
building it occupied was owned by G.
II. Miller, and WAS worth 81, 900. 1t
was insured for $4,000. 1t is total
wreck, as is also the adjoining build
ing, built by Tony Bruhan about three
months ago, at a cost of $4,000. Bru-
han was insured for Gil 900. The Can
non company lost everything except
their books. They carried a stock of
about $4,000, and an insurance Of
1000.

UNDER ADYISEMENT.

CHICAGO, July 3O.-The motion of Z.
O'Sullivan's attorneys for change of
venue was argued be fore Judge Hor-
ton this morning. All the five prison
ers wefe brought into the court room
which was packed to suffocation, part
ly with the friends of the suspects, and
partly by people who had been drawn
thither by mere idle curiosity. Judge
LOngnecker made a short speech oppos-
the motion for change of venue. He
said that the two citizens who signed
affidaYits to the effect that
they believed O'Sullivan could
not get a fair trial before
Judge Horton or Judge Halves were
unknown. They had neglected to
state who they were and what their
business. For all the court knew they
might have been imported from In
diana or Wisconsin for no other pur-
pose than to make these affidaVits.
The attorneys of O'Sullivan declined
to enter upon an extended argument,
but presented to the court few opin-
ions in support of their motion In regard
to the motion to quash the indictments
against the other prisoners. The coun-
sci for the defense opposed the immed-
late consideration of the matter. The
court took the whole matter under adj
