How a Brazilian Minister was Detected

How a Brazilian Minister was Detected
in Wrong doing.
RIO DE JANEIRo, February 2d-The re-
tiremeDt Of Detemtrio Minez Rebeiro, the
Minister OF Agriculture, from the Provis-
ionsl Cabinet yesterday, has created much
excitement in certain quarters.
In addition TO having control Of the Aeri-
cultural Department, the ex-Mnlster had
jurisdiction over the public works. the ma
Iional telegraph lines, Postoffices, Govern
ment railroads, and colonization and emil
grafton, and this gave him great oppor-
tunity 10 abuse The trust which had been
reposed in him, aud that he has done SO is
generally believed, and Investigations
which are yet to be made into his official
conduct may develop the fact that there are
other shameful instances Of his gross abuse
of Office. if not Gciual dishonesty.
One of the chief causes which led to
Rebeiros retirement rom the Cabinet is
his connection with bitter fight which bss
been going on BET Teen two New Yc'k life
insurance companies since the new Govern
ment came into power. Soon after the
establishment of The Republic the Govern
ment announced that all contracts and sim
liar obligations which had been entered
into by the monarchical Government would
be assumed ard carried ont by the new
Government. However, the agent of one
of the companies vas notified by the De-
psrtment OF Agriculture thai it would be
necessary 10 have his concession renewed.
1t was intimated to the agent that for So,
600 he could get the concession. The agent
looked into the matter closely and fonud
that money was being used by the rival
company to injure his interests, and this
lea to the discovery. The Government in
vestigated the affair al once, and the Iejg-
nation Of Rebeiro was the result.

TEN LIVES LOST.
Particulars of the Fire in Boston satur-
day Night.

udy -NISHIs
BosToN, February 2i-It is now known
that in this mornings North street fire ten
persons were burned 70 death, and three
others fatally wounded. and six more seri-
ously, if not mortally, hurt Il is believed
the fire started in the clothing store on
the first f3or, and before it was discovered
it had eaten through the partition wall of
the hallway, which contained the stairs
leading to the tenements above, and thus
cut of all escape for the occupants. The
scenes which occurred among the inmates
when they were awakened were most ex-
citing ShTieks OF terror, groans Of agony
and cries for help filed the air. Men.
women and children filed the windows
and piteonsly pleaded for help. Some of
the more venturesome even hung from the
windows by only a slight hold on sills.
Ladders were quickly hoisted, lines Of hose
hurriedly run of, snd in ten minutes the
fear of personal safety had subsided, and
those whom it was possible TO save had
been taken from their positions of peril,
and the wounded had been taken to places
where their injuries could be cared for.
After the FIRE was practically eztinguished
Chief Webber, followed by several fremen,
went luto the baiiding and with difficulty
ascended to the upper fjo:s When they
reached them sight tdat h0Trifed them
me: their gaze
Under one of the windows was &
cropched human form, burned to a crisp
almost. The two palms were cIasped to-
getber, aud kneehug as If in prayer.
Further search revealed only cinders and
ashes. Seeing escape from the flames be-
low 10 the streets impossible, because the
stairs were roaring masses Of flames, the
terrified victims had evidently rushed to
the upper floor in their attempts TO escape,
and there had been roasted as if held in a
furnace.
Later two bodies of infants were removed
from other parts OF the building and list
of ten human lives made up.
The injured were removed TO a hospital
and the dead bodies taken 10 the moTgue
for Identification.
Serious suspicious Will b raised that the
fire was the work of en- incendiary. Il is
stated that when the street door was burst
open the smell gave strong indications that
the stairs and floor had been satul ated with
coal oil, The police have decided on a
thorough investigation, and one Benjamin
Simonds has been arrested on suspicion.

CHURCH RIOT.
Polish Women and Girls Endeavor to
Mob Priest.

BUFFALO On. W, February 2d-A riot
occurred to-day in the vicinity of st. Adel-
bert's Church, Buffalo, which required the
full force of 200 policemen to quell. None
were killed, but several policemen were
more or less injured by bricks and other
missiles, and the leader of the rioters, a
Polish woman, name unknown, is badly
hurt.
The not was the continuance of the
demonstration of disfavor with which Paw
Ter, the Dunkirk priest, who was appointed
to this parish lately by Bishop Ryan, had
been received.
By order of Bishop Ryan Father Pawler
tried to hold services this morning. The
priest notified the police that he would
obey the orders and asked for protection
Over two hundred policemen were there
fore sent TO his aid. The priest was
escorted in his buggy to the church by a
Gordon of armed detectives On his
arrival at the church they found. drawn up
around the gate, barricade which had
been erected around the church, and fully
$500 Polish women and girls. The men
stood aloof on the other side of the street
and looked on.
The policemen were instructed not to
strike the women with their fists or batons,
so an unequal warfare began. The Polish
hOheH lOuSut Ike tuIdBeU uSeTS anu
pushed the policemen away from the gate
by sheer force Of numbers.
Finally the policemen beat down the
barricade and surrounded the women.
Then from their aprons the women pro-
duced salt and pepper which they flung
in the blue-coats' eyes. They scratched,
bit, struck, kicked, and yelled like so many
cats.
The arrival of the priest was the signal
for the climax of the riot. The women
hurled themselves en- masse upon the car
riage, sprang upon his back, and one
woman, who acted as The leader, actually
caught the priest by the throat and would
have strangled him. 1t took four police
men to pull her off. The Polish men now
added shower of stones, bricks and other
missiles TO the fray. This was soon sub
dued by batons, and not few went home
with broken heads and bloody noses. Nine
were arrested.
Special policeman Lyons had his shoul-
blade broken and half dozen other
officers were more or less injured.
The woman ringleader was thrown down
and trsmpled on and badly hurt. The
priest was rescued badly scared, and with
his vestments despatched and torn. After
his departure the crowd was dispersed, and
the policemen are now guarding the priest
in an abode known only to them.

In the work the author expresses his be-

riches that before the next century Is
ended the French sEd German nations are
likely to appear little more than pgmies

THREATENING LETTER.
A Wheat Speculator Wants to Boom tn
Chicago Market.

A Wheat Speculator Wants to Boom the
Chicago Market.
CHICAGO, February 2d.-Edwin Pard-
ridge, the well-known Board of Trade
Spectator, was in anything but an easy
frame of mind last night. He did not
know whether he was the dupe of prac-
teal joke or the destined victim Of pre-
meditated murder. The cause of Mr. Pard-
ridges disquietude was the reception OF an
anonymous letter of rather startling import
yesterday. In May wheat he has of late
been very fortunate in his adventures on
the Board, and, being one of the heaviest
dealers, he has apparently created the i'm
preston among certain outside speculators
| that he is running the market.
Mr. Partridge has symBathetically kept
short on May wheat, and, owing to the de-
| cline in prices, owns to have cleared a
modest fortune by his transactions Others
and among them 3 ?. Hutchinson-by
keeping long of the market have been
badly nipped. The shorts have had no
| trouble in covering themselves, but the
longs have had TO unload 81 a great loss.
The disturbing letter, which was written
in crsmped and evidently disguised hand.
comes from somebody who got caught in
! his transactions. Il was as follows:
Mr.. Prrdridge: You can put wheat up 5 cents
DusheL II you 90 not pat II up cents before
Saturday or Monday at O'Clock VIII kill you.
Now, am not a crank, but a despei ate man.
You are running me and Others. So help me
God, if you do not put up the market cents
will shoot you dead in your tracks Monday
night, AID anyone who defends you next. am
desperate, and think no more of killing myself
than do of killing you speculators.
MI. Psrdridge was ca led upon and asked
what he thought of the missive. 81 do mot
know said ne, what to think. | can
scarcely believe the letter to be mere
joke. Still, nobody but fool or a crank
would write such letter. think some
inexperienced outsider who has been dab
bling in May wheat has taken that course
to save himself from loss. Whether or not
he is desperate enough to carry out his
threat is a mere matter of conjecture Our
President, you know, was shot by crank.
The man is fool, at any rate, or he would
know that it is impossible for me to raise
the market as he wishes
