M'VICKER'S THEATER BURNED.



CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Fire was discover
ed in McVicker's theater, on Madison
street, between State and Dearborn at $3.50
this morning. As far as can be learned it
originated in the small smoking room un-
der and to the west of the stage. The dry
and inflammable material Of the room
furnished fuel for the blaze and in mo-
ment fierce fame burst out through a
side window in the alley As soon as the
fremen arrived on the scene they di
rected the streams of water through the
window from which the flames we're CON
ing. The smoke filed the entire build
ing. and it is feared badly damaged the
valuable scenery of the Shenandoah com
pany, now performing In the building.
The fire made unexpected headway in
the interior of the building, and in thirty
minutes after its discovery made its way
from the basement to the roof. The
flames apparently enveloped the whole
building, and at a few minutes before
4 o'clock were leaping from all the win
dows on the west and east side of the
theater
When it was seen what rapid headway
the flames were making additional help
was summoned, and every effort was di-
rected to saving the front portion of the
building, where number Of Offices are To-
Gated. Nearly every occupant Of the
building is heavy loser, although none
of them carried heavy stocks.
The total loss TO the theatre building
and its occupants is estimated at over
5000. 600 Horace McVicker. the propri
etor. says his own loss will reach over
$1,000 Several stores ON State street
caught fire, but the flames were soon ex-
tinguished, and the damage will be nomi-
nal
Just how the fire started is shroude1 in
mystery. There are suspicious of incen-
diarism The theater will be rebuilt at
once, and as quickly as possible.

TwINE0N THE FREE LIST.
The Manufacturers Have Abused Their
Privilege and NJ ust Suffer.

WAsHINGToN. Aug. 25.-The amend
ment to the tariff bill placing twine on the
free list may pass the senate. The north
western senators will nearly all favor it.
This amendment already has the out
spoken support of Senators DAVIS and
Washburn, Of Minnesota, Casey, Of
North Oak ota. and Spooner. of Wiscon-
sin. Sen. Casey says twine manufacturers
in this country abused the privileges they
had under the tariff, beside forming "a
trust. They went into the foreign mar
ket and bought all the raw material they
could, increasing the price to such an ex-
tent that the foreign manufacturer had no
possible chance of competition, and the
farmers were placed at the mercy Of the
trust, with what result all the people well
know. If the senators from the wheat
producing states will do their duty, twine
can he placed on the free list.

House.

OSHKOSH, Aug. 25.- Mrs Phoebe
Wright, an old and respected lady resid-

hanging in her woodshed yesterday after
noon. The moose was slipped on her
neck and the rope had been thrown over
the rafters in the shed. 1t was thought
she had committed suicide, but relatives
scoff this idea, and claim that the woman
was murdered Her house was
found to have been completely ran
sacked, and her pocketbook was dis
covered on the floor. 1t is thought
that if she was murdered she discovered
burglars in the house and started to give
the alarm, when they stopped her and
placed a handkerchief over her mouth, and
thus caused her death; and to cover up the
crime they placed her in the position in
which she was found A handkerchief
was discovered in her mouth when the
body was cut down The lady was 76
years old and leaves four children. The
police are certain she suicided, but many
citizens arc firm in the belief that she was
