by the wind, suddenly ignited and in
an instant aared up. The children
rose to their feet in wild alarm, but the
priest shouted to them to be seated. as
there was no danger. He tore down the
curtain and trampled on it and all would
have been over in two minutes had it not
been for woman, whose identity is not
yet learned. She lost her head and
screamed wildly to the chill
dren to save themselves and
that the church was burning.
Instantly a wild panic ensued and despite
the utmost efforts of the priest to restrain
them, the children made frantic rush for
the entrance. Some one turned in the fire
alarm outside, and when the engines and
patrol wagons came Gathering up the
noise added to the awful panic.
The children were packed in a
dense mass in the aisles, struggling and
above all this could be heard the screams
and the shouts of the agonized pa
rent outside. Finally the police and fire
men managed to restore crdr. 1t was then
found that Frank Dziewicski. aged s. was
dead; John Prowtowski and Frank Urban

more or less seriously hurt. Of this latter
number the police surgeons are confident
that none will die, although there are
many cuts and bruises and some broken
bones

NAT COODWIN'S NERVE.
The Comedian Plays His Part While Hi,
Wife is Dying.

WEST SUPERIOR, Oct. 16.-Nat G.
Goodwin PLAYED here tonight in A Gold
Mine to 1,50O people, and when quoting
the dialogue of the play, which made him
say. "A woman is queer; there's nc living
with her, and no living without her," he
broke down. Very few people in the
audience could account for the weakness.
Goodwin had been sustaining the part of
''Dorkins" throughout the play. Ten
minutes before he went ON the stage he got
telegram, and after reading it, tore it
to pieces with that gesture of his SO
fanliar to theater- going people, and, lean
ing his head on the hotel desk, gave way
to strong emotion. The message inform
ed him that his wife had been so seriously
injured that she would probably die His
grief was so apparent that it attracted at
tention in the hotel, and it was thought
he would not be able to appear, but a
crowded house awaited him and he filed
his engagement, though what effort it
cost him was known only to few. In the
pathetic passages he gave way frequently,
but on the whole gave a wonderful ex-
hiDition of nerve. 1t cannot be learned to-
night whether he will cancel dates ahead
and go straight to New York or not.

sensational shooting ARRAYS that ever oc-
Cured in this city took place on one of the
principal business streets this afternoon,

THE MAYOR THREATENED.
The Italians of New Orleans are Getting
Too Numerous.

The Italians of New Orleans are Getting
Too Numerous.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 19.-Joseph Mac
chera and several other Italians were ar
rested today charged with being accessor-
les to the murder of Chief of Police Hen
Messy.
This afternoon the mayor received an
anonymous communication notifying him
that he will be the next victim. Mr..
Shakespeare says this will not deter him
from doing his duty. He has appointed
committee of fifty. A most intense ex-
element over the developments prevails in
the city, and there is a LANCER of the lower
classes being melted to inaugurate bloody
race war against the Italians.
The meeting of the committee of fifty
ton light was secret. but the committee an
nounced that it would pursue the investi
cation to the end; to bring the murderers
of Hennessy to justice and break the ltal-
ian assassination leagues in this city, an.
a thousand dollars was raised on the spot
and by next week the committee expects
to have $4,000 to assist in the work
One Of the facts stated was that the ship
Elysla is coming up next week with 700
Italian emigrants on board. The mayor
interviewed the custom house authorities,
and as result they will go down and
meet the ship. Unless the emigrants can
satisfy the officers that they are desirable
financially and morally they will not be
allowed to land.
Joe Machae, who was arrested today,
has heretofore been considered promi-
nent italian and above the murderous
plots of his more ignorant fellow country
men. Since his arrest some damaging
evidence has been developed The ladies
owning the shanty where the assassins are
supposed to have plotted and gathered,
identified Machrae as the man who rented
the place from them and paid month s
rent in advance. Several parties
also say that they followed Macrea on the
night of the murder He and the Matran-
gas, also supposed to be leaders in the af-
fair, were eating big supper while the
shooting was going on. They remained
until four o'clock in the morning, having
a good time, and when they parted Macrea
is alleged to have said: Boys, I've done
all can, and I'm only sorry he was not
killed at the first fire

scribed by the secretary of agriculture for

authority, the prohibition of the importa-
ton of neat cattle from North, Central

GONE TO THE MISTY BEYOND
A. B, Mullett Ends Life's Turbulent
Troubles by Laying Hand
on Himself.
He Sends a Bullet Through His Brain
Which Has a Fatal
Effect.

WASHINGTON, Oct 20.-A. B. Multlet,
one of the best known architects of this
city, and for years supervising architect of
the treasury department, shot and killed
himself this evening at his residence. He
has been in poor health for long time
suffering from rhematical and other COM
plants, but it is thought that financial
trouble was the chief cause Of Mullett's
act.
DR.. P J. Murphy, the surgeon in charge
of the Columbia hospital, who for many
years has been MulIett's family physician,
made statement Of the circumstances Of
the shooting, substantially as follows:
About 5 o clock he called at the house to
see Mrs. Mullett, who was slightly
indisposed. After prescribing for
Mrs. Mullett the doctor took leave and
went to his office just across the street. He
had been there but a short time when a
son Of Mr. MuIlett came over and asked
him to come to the house Immediately.
He hurried back in response to
the summons and found Mullett
lying across the bed in his
sleeping apartment and was partially dis
robed. He WIS unconscious and bleeding
profusely The doctor made hasty ex-
animation and found that the blood came
from a wound about two inches above the
right ear. The dying man gave three or
four gasps and expired within seven min
utes after the wound had been inflicted
When the doctor first entered the room
he found Mrs. Mullett lying 10y the side
Of the body of her wounded husband
weeping bitterly with her arms thrown
around his neck The doc
tor moved her gently from the
room and then gave his attention
to her husband. Later in the evening the
coroner was summoned and after an exam
lnation of the body gave verdict of death
from suicide, due to meancholia. Mr..
Muliett was Sc years old and very
well known. He designed many of
the public buildings that have
been erected in different cities.
among them being the New York city post
office and the imposing state, war and
navy department building in this city.
Mr.. Mullett had a severe case of the grip
last winter, from which he still suif cred.
For the past few months he had been at
times respondent and gloomy.

WAS THE BRIDE OF DEATH
A Pretty Manitowoc Girl Commits
Suicide on the Eve of Her
Wedding.
Her Sudden Demise Is Brought
About by an Overdose of
Arsenic.
The Man She Was TO Marry W as Ex
tremely Distasteful to
Her.

MANITowoc. Wis Oct 1S-Within a
few days some facts have developed con-
corning the death of Louisa Alwardt, the
pretty daughter Of German railroad lab
orer, that have caused deep sensation in
this city The girl was found dead in her
bed on the morning of September 80 last,
and a physician who called in pronounced
that death was caused by poison of some
kind The girl had retired in bright
spirits and in good health the previous
evening, and suspicious were aroused
among her friends that it might be muir
der. Recently the remains were disin-
tered, and the stomach sent to DR.. Daven-
pert Fisher, of Milwaukee, for an analy-
Sis. The physician reported that there
was enough arsenic poison found in the
stomach unabsorbed to cause the death of
any human person.
The chemist report was received by the
girl S friends. who are many, with much
excitement, and to some who were inter
ested enough to investigate was revealed a
story that would, with little word-color-
ing make tale stranger than fiction.
Upon the Saturday following her sudden
death the young lady was to wed a cheese
maker named Henry Re3a'lHr, who lives
in the country near TINS city, and who is
III comfortable circumstances. Miss Al
wardt was 20 years Of age and quite
pretty She was devoted to her parents,
and they had set tDele ,-l,trts at rest on
her marrying Redekcr. TIE girl would
not listen to the proposition as her sutton,
d middle-aged man. WAS extremely dis
tasteful to her. Still her ila.i5 of duty to
her parents made her submissive to their
will when insisted. aid ike dutiful
daughter she assented to the union so
0diouS to her.
Apparently Louisa was harry, and the
father believed that Sha bad hecome recon
ciled to the marriage Preparations were
made for the ceremony. The -Ioom placed
his funds at the girl's d!<po:,.,l. Brides
maids bad been selected. and the wedding
was to occur on the Saturday following the
death OF the bride that Was TO be.
" hen she retired Monday night Louisa
loo,-ed cheerful enough, bat hen she did
not arise as early as was her costum
in the morning her relatives found her
cold in death.
Theree xists no doubt that the girl pre-
ferred death to marriage with a man
whome she could not love, and that the
thoughts of such fate preyed upon her
mind until she swallowed q fatal potion to
end her troubles.

I OWERED HIS RECORD
Stamboul Trots a Mile in the Remarkable
Time of :l11s.

NAPA. CAL, Oct 1S.-Stamboul trotted
against time today and lowered his own
and Axtell's record, making mile in
2:111a, one quarter second slower than
Nelson S mile made at Tore Haute
Stamboul was driven by Goldsmith and
was accompanied by a runner. His pace
to the eighth was rather slow for him.
The head of the stretch was passed in 16
seconds. Around to the qnarter it was
even slower, that being made in 80. When
well on tie back stretch the stallion
showed desire to squirt. Goldsmith
held him back, however, and the half was
made in l.054. The fve-eighth was passed
in :22115 with the horse still in restraint.
The three quarters were made in :3954
and at this point it seemed that the at
tempt to break his rec ord would be fail
urn. As soon as the horse was well
Strengthened out, however, hcDowl drove
the runner close up and Goldsmith began
