GREAT FIRE.
The Chicago House of Fowler Bros. De-
stroyed by Fire.

The Chicago House of Fowler Bros. De-
stroyed by Fire.
CHICAGO, Sept 30 EARLY yesterday
morning, after four hours hard work,
the firemen got control of the fire that
almost wholly destroyed the immense
plant of the Anglo American Packing
Company The fire which began at LAS
a. m. wholly destroyed, leaving the
walls only standing the packing house
proper. Two warehouses Immediately
adjoining and other parts of tho estab-
lishment were almost as completely de-
stroyed. Work iseomple tely suspended
and |, 500 employees are idle. The own
ers' rough estimate of the loss is $500, :
900 and upwards.
All day the fremen worked with the
flames, which, although under control
and not to be seen from the outside of
the big buildings, we're no less doing
the greatest damage inside. The nature
Of the contents Of the buildings and the
insidious manner in which the flames
ate their way from one point to another
through supposed freprocf walls
makes it difficult to place an accurate
ton showed the damage 10 be the total
destruction of the pack ing house proper,
containing tho rendering tank, engines,
ice machines, saltpeter mill, salt storing
rooms and other details OF the packing
business
The secretary of the recently reorgan-
izeG company is Robert Stobo, an En-
gllshman. Mr. stobo was asked regard
ing the loss.
Roughly" he said, II put it at $780,
600 but il is more. The machinery is
almost totally ruined and in that we
will lose SIS, 900. About 1000 dressed
hogs are burning in tho storage room.
They are worth about Sll apiece, In
the warerooms estimate we have stored
the product Of 9, 600 hogs II this was
totally destroyed, it would mean a loss
Of almost $1,000, 900, or about 5000, 600
for product alone. One hundred thou
sand dollars of this we know is
safe, because it is lard that was in
the warehouse not destroyed.
think of the remaining $500, 600 we can
safely say $500, 900 is dead loss This
with the loss on machinery and hogs
hanging ready to be cut makes S652, 000 "
President Fowler does not believe
any Of the product will be marketable
nor did Secretary Stobo.
The general opinion is that the loss
will not fall short Of 81. 000, 600, which
will make the fire the most disastrous
one s.nce the burning of the warehouse
on Rush street over a year ago.

A Move TO Free schwah, Fieldcn and Neebe
From the Joiiet Penltentiary.
CHICAGO Sept 25. - Another legal
step toward the release OF the Anar-
chists now confined in the penitentiary
was taken In the Federal court yester-
day in the shape Of petition for writ
OF habeas corpus in behalf of Michael
Schwab.
This movement had been contem-
plated for some time but the petition
setting up the grounds upon which il is
sought to release the Anarchists has
just been completed by Attorney Moses
Solomon who appeared as one of the
attorneys for the prisoners at the time
OF the criminal court trial He says he
has associated with him in this case
General b f. Butler, and letter from
the latter makes the assertion that tho
prisoners are entitled to discharge un-
der the law.
The reason Schwab appears alone in
the fight is because the law in his case
will cover those Of Oscar Neebe and
Samuel Fielden. and should Schwal
prove successful In his application, the
the other prisoners will follow wit
similar petitions
Technical omissions in the wording
of the process upon which Schwab is
held at Joliet and the point that con.
trary to the record he was not present
either in person or by counsel when
sentence was affirmed by the Supreme
Court Of Illinois form the basis Of the
petition for habeas corpus,
Judge Gresham, TO whom the petition
was presented, issued rule on Attor-
ney-General Hunt to show cause by
Monday why the writ prayed for should
not issue

through the heart at 1870 Hendricks
street, Brooklyn, early this morning.
Last night, shortly before eleven o'clock,
he entered his home and went directly
to his room. He lived with his grand
father, Il, r. Wheeler. The young man
spent an hour or more in his room be-
fore he dlvested himself OF his coat vest
and white shirt Carefully unbuttoning
his undershirt and turning IT back so
that the spot over his heart could be
plainly seen he went to bureau drawer
and took out 22-caliber revolver This
he pressed close to his heart and then

A Rare Form of Marasmus Consumes Him
His Body For Science.
New YORK, Sept ~. After months
of enforced starvation Dr. stephen De
Wolfe, an eminent physician, died at
his home, No. 139 West Thirty fourth
street yesterday morning. He was re-
nowned for his treatment Of pulmonary
complaints DR. DeWolfe's ailment was
puzzle to himself and his physicians.
He was unable to retain nourishment
and was absolutely without appetite
for food. 1t is believed gener-
ally among the medical fraternity
that his disease was an extremely
rare case of marasmus. His mus
cular tissue wasted away gradually, and
the wasting of those tissues, together
with his inability to eat blood and
musclemaking food, caused a dimin-
ishing of his vital powers and the de-
crease OF his adipose tissue to such an
extent that when he died little else
than skin and bones remained. He was
large man in life and when in full
health was as vigorous as an athlete in
training. He was devoted to medical
science, and when he recognized that
his disease would cause his death he
dedicated his body to the causes of man
kind

A boy Operators Mistake Causes "A Fright
fnl Wreck and the killing Of Eight MeI
on the baltimore a. Ohio Road.
ZANEsvILLE, o., Sept 20 --One OF this
worst freight wrecks in the history Of
miles west OF here at midnight Satur
day nigh Eight men we're killed and
one terribly injured, and property tC
the amount OF $3.50, 900 destroyed.
The wreck was caused by the failure
Of Francis Keelty, operator at Black
Hand, TO deliver orders TO an east bound
| freight to sidetrack at that station until
west bound freight passed.
The two trains collIded on a sharp
curve Just outside of dense wood, and
neither engineer saw the other train
until within few yards Of it
The engineer and fireman on the east
bound train jumped, the latter escaping
uninjured, but the former, John Kemp.
Of Newark, had leg cut off near his
body, and is not expected to live.
The engineer and fireman Of the west
bound train were instantly killed, the
former being terribly mangled by the
splintered cars which we're rained into
the tender His blood and brains were
scattered over the ground for several
feet around The fireman was caught
between the engine and tender and
crushed to pulp. When taken out il
was roasted by the fire from the en-
gines.
Tho engines crashed together with
awful force and the freight cars to the
number of twenty-five were piled up to
the height of twenty-five or thirty feet
Eight men were killed as follows:
John buckingham, engineer; William
Firestone, fireman; Freeman Keller,
brakeman; John Cochran, residence un-
known; Ben Smart brakeman, Gratiot;
Glen Bash, Zanesville; George w. Stone-
burger GAINESVILLE; Tom McCrary; one
unknown
John Kemp had his log cut off and
Fireman Wilson hand mashed. Trains
are run by way Of the Panhandle be-
tween GAINESVILLE and Newark.
Those not employed on the train were
we're beating their way from Columbus
The dead were removed to an empty
car as fast as recovered and taken to
Newark for preparation for burial A
large force OF men were at work all day
clearing the track of debris.
Operator Keelty saw his mistake too
late and telegraphed to the operator
hero that there would be a wreck pretty
soon and left his post He is mere
boy. lie has not yet been found
The collidng engines are so firmly
locked and intertwined together that it
seems impossible to separate them. :.
Twenty-Five ear loads Of wire nails
oats, corn. flour, lum Der and many other
articles lie in q confused ruin. The i'm
mediate financial loss to the company
will be not less than $3.50, 600 1t is the
most destructive wreck that ever oc-
CURED on this division Of the road.
There was also collision OF two pas
senger trains on the Baltimore & Ohio,
east Of GAINESVILLE, in which two ex-
press cars we're demolished, and Engin-
eer John Wheeler and Baggagemaster
Ed Murdock had both legs broken.
This collision was due to disobedience
Of orders by one of the train crews

Tho administrative section relative
to imported articles being forbidden
entry where the business mark OF do
mestic manufacture is simulated, reads
as follows as adopted In conference:
"0n and after March /. 1891, no article
OF imported merchandise which shall
copy or simulate the name or trade
mark OF any domestic manufacture or
manufacturer shall be admitted TO entry
at any custom house in tho United

The oonferees in their report, speak
ing OF the effect OF the bill on the rev
enues. say they do not believe that
there is any material difference between
House and Senate bills in the matter Of
estimated reduction in the dutiable
schedules namely 500 600 600 = and
their action has not materially affected
that estimate except in the restoration
of the internal revenue provisions OF
the House and on that point they sayi
''For the year ended June 80 1890, the
receipt from special taxes on the class
OF persons TO be relieved by the bill
were s1,515, 4s1, from taxes on
tobacco Sls 235, 4s2 and from
snuff s787, 7sl. BY the passage of the
bill the reduction in revenue from to-
bacco will be 81, 5sl, $40, and from snuf
S1s4, 433, making from these two sources
an aggregate OF S4,765, sO3. Adding
these figures to the reduction which
would follow in the abolition OF special
taxes would make the total reduction in
the internal revenue receips SO, 2s1, 2s4
The probable reduction by the customs
schedule will be about $50 600, 900,
which would give an aggregate reduction
by the bill OF about S66, 900, 900.
