aud then downward, until the roof and up
per floor fell carrying the fire TO the ground.

ment on the west Nos. l04 and LOG, went

which not only rendered the firemen's
work very difficult, but threatened 10 con-
sumo the buildings on opposite side OF the

pietely Quilted. This IL the largest fire De-

A Mysterious Case which May Become
Celebrated.

Celebrated.
The little courtroom OF Chief Magistrate
Hall, Ia clifton, across the Niagara River
from Niagara Falls, was crowded with peo-
pie at the third session Of the examination
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Reginald Birvheil, charged
with the murder OF 4. G. Benwcll ut Prince
ton Feb. l6 Bircbcll induced =. c. Ben
well and Douglas pecley, young English
men. TO come 10 Ontario and take a hand In
the management OF large stock farm
which BirchelI said he owned there. The
stock farm was, OF course, imaginary. Biz
chell, who was resident OF London. found
Peeley and Benwcll by means OF advertise
ments In the newspapers. On arriving In
this country from England, in the middle OF
February, Birchell and his party az once
went 10 Buffalo. Then Birchell and Ben.
well went on ahead 10 the "stock farm" 10
prepare things for the coming OF Mr. Birch
ell and Peclcy. Blrchell came back and said
that Benwell was Disguised with the farm
and had gone on further west. few DAYS
later Peeley saw in a newspaper the account
OF the finding OF the body OF a man near
Princeton. Ont, who had evidently been
murdered. Near the body was found a
cigar ease with Benwelrs full name on t.
Peeley insisted that Birchell very reluctant
~ identified the body IA that of the Young
Englisbnan. Blrchell was arrested and the
Keys 10 Benwell's trunks were found in his
possession. The evidence against Bircbell
~ very strong. but wholly circumstantial.
IL has been proved that the story about his
property by means OF which lac induced the
young Englishman To come here are abso-
lutely untrue that his statements aud con-
duet since coming 10 this country with BEN
well and Peclcy have been one unbroken
series Of lies and receptions, aud that almost
every statement he made since his arrest has
been lie. Mrs. lIirchell il still IN custody,
aud both will no doubt be held
Blrchell has been held for the mur Ter OF
Benwell, aud Mrs. Birrhell Is charged with
having guilty knowledge Of the crime. Ben
well Is not the first victim supposed to have
died at Birchel's hand aud certain sudden
disappearanees OF other well-to-do Englsh-
men are once more the topic OF CONVERSE
