fire of last week in the Western Union

crossing of electric-light wires. and had

shortly after IL o'clock tonight that two
wires on the apex of the north front OF
and an alarm of fire was turned in. A
large part of the fire department of this city
responded. but before all of the engines
had arrived a fireman had cut away the
wires and extinguished the FIRE. No dam.
ACE particularly was done, but the electric
lights of the building were put out for
awhile

his property was bought in under the rule.
While the buying was going on the mar.

in oats, Hess says he had sold small line

Young Rosdeitcher was well known here
among the Hebrews, especially the Aus
trian element, and dealt regularly with
some of the best houses on Main street.
Some of his friends knew OF his condition
ten DAYS ago, but they were not aware
that he had suffered a relapse. and
were greatly shocked when the intel
ligence of his death was received yes
terday morning. Mr.. 5. Stern, president
Of the congregation Kennesseth Israel, I'M
mediately consulted with Secretary Harris
Jacobs, and sent Mr.. Israel Michael out TO
the almshouse TO bring the body TO
Richmond Mr. Michael had TO wait until
the inquest, which was held as quickly as
possible on his account, and he returned
before noon, and the body was forthwith
prepared for interment and buried IN the
Jewish cemetery. Rabbi Harfeid con-
Quoted the funeral services.
WHO WERE HIS AssArLAsrs?
By some the theory has been advanced
that perhaps the young man was kicked by
q horse and crawled up on the hay af-
terwards. This, however, Is met by the
statement of the deceased to bisphysician,
aud the appearance of the wound was not
such as to warrant the belief that II could
have been inflicted by horses foot;
The cut, from which blood proceeded up
to the time of death, bore the indication
OF having been made by some Dlunt ilstru-
ment, perhaps heavy stick.
There is no positive evidence as to who
committed the crime, but suspicion points
TO certain parties who had, an OPP
portunity 10 see the dead mans
money on the night before he
went to sleep in the barn. Deceased Was
rather boastful and displayed his coins 30
conspicuously that nearly all who saw him
knew that he had money. 1t is claimed by
the person to whom circumstances point
most strongly--s colored youth-that ho
can prove an alb. The investigation,
though. is in an embryo state, and there
may be arrests very soon OF 1t may be some
time.
