Abernethy Curry's drug store. Judge Steele
was unarmed, but his son. John A steele. ir,
came IN soon after and in instant he and
GOODWIN drew their pistols and opened fire.
Steele fell dead shot through the head Al
that moment Tom Steele. another son OF the
Judge, appeared with a shot gun and opened
nre. Goodwin and Chalen replying with pie

SHE OFFERED HER DIAMONDS.
A Pretty and Wealthy Chicago Girl
Found In an Opium Den.

CHICAGO, July IA woman found in an
opium den on Peck court last night offered the
officers diamonds worth at least $4,000 if they
would release her. The den was discovered by
the merest accident Officers passing along
the street detected the odor of opium smoke
near basement laundry kept by Lee sun.
The place seemed to have only two rooms, one
occupied by the workmen and the other
sleeping room. 1t noticed that the rear
room had been divided by partition of plain
boards and that they had been covered with old
show bills and newspapers. sort OF a cup
board or closet was placed against the partition.
When this was removed a small door was dis
closed which opened into a second apartment
richly furnished. Heavy damask and satin
draperies, rich plush curtains and costly brio
a-brac adorned the place. Around the sides
we're half a dozen hunks. In one of these the
woman and man were found smoking a pipe
filled with opium. The woman almost tainted
away when the officers entered. She was
richly dressed, rather young and very pretty.
Costly diamonds sparkled in her ears ON her
fingers and wrists and around her neck She
took the jewels off and implored the officer TO
take them and release her. The man and
woman were taken to the station and booked
under assumed names. The keeper of the
place and all OF the smoking paraphernalia
were locked up.

A Brace Of Daring Robbers

A PRETTY CHICAGO GIRL IN DISTRESS.
RUINS IN THE SKY.
Beginning to Reconstruct the Burnt
Western Union Building.

NEW YORK, July 19.-The Western Union fire
was one of the most startling ever in this city.
though loss of life by happy providence was
avoided. The fire broke out Just between the
departure Of one army of employees and the ar
rival OF another, for the time being COM
pleteiy paralyzed business on Broadway, and
has made the business town feel very helpless
owing to the stoppage of communication with
the world Damage is hastily estimated at
half million dollars The five upper stories
were pretty well destroyed and much was lost
that cannot be replaced The building was
supposed to be fire proof, but it burned very
nicely. The iron net work Of wires interferred
very much with the fremen, and the great
height of the building also made their wor K
very difficult, but they fought like Trojans and
kept the building under a successful quarsn-
tine till they extnguished the flames. The
outer walls remain standing in gaunt and
gaping shape. but the clock on which many
people pinned their faith and the time ball will
nave disappeared for the time being.
RECONSTRUCTION BEGUN.
Pedestrians who passed the great structure
at Broadway and Dey street at an early hour
today and looked ny where the fire ragged so
fercely at the same time yesterday saw a gang
OF workmen at work on a scaffold above the
sixth story. The first thing to be done was to
clear away the debris. The scaffolding ran all
around the top stories. Groups of men we're at
work all through the floors visited by the
flames. sight-seers from across both
the North and East rivers were
plentiful They had come to see for them
selves the effect of the fire on the big struc-
ture. They were disappointed as the effect
was up skyward and mostly inside the building
Outside the building looks natural as life until
the eye reaches the sixth story Then II rests
on windows without glass and smoke-begrimed
and scorched sashes. The cupola too, shows
the effect of the fire, but from the street only
In very partial way.
Western Union officials say business will be
handled before the day is over AS II there had
been no fire at all. The temporary headquar-
ters OF the company at Canal street and Broad
way are being put in shape as rapidly az possi-
Die. Already large number of operators are
there at work.
