Associated Press Dispatches.
CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Four lives were
lost by fire in the Putnam European
hotel, La Sale and Adams streets, at an
early hour this Sunday morning. A
kerosene lamp in one of the upper hall
WAYS exploded, and the fire quickly
spread. The guests, of whom there
were a score in the house, were not
awakened until the arrival of the en-
gines. The firemen quickly ran ladders
up to the windows and most of
the terror-stricken people were helped
safely to the ground. Mrs. Minnie
Robinson, who with her husband and
infant, was asleep in room on the fifth
floor, became crazed with fright, and be-
fore her husband could do anything to
stop her, grasped her babe in her arms
and jumped from the window. The un-
fortunate woman was crushed so badly
on the pavement that she lived but
short time, but the babe miraculously
escaped unhurt.
Within fifteen minutes the firemen
had the flames extinguished, and al
though the presence of vast amount
of sitting smoke made it almost impos-
sible to enter the house, started search
to see if anyone was in it. They soon
found the body of the colored porter,
Edward Peyton, in his room burned to
a crisp. A few doors beyond they found
the bodies OF two roomers, Charles
Easton and Louis Berger.
At 80 a. m. no more bodies were
found and the fire marshal believes the
casualties are comprised in the above
list. The pecuniary damage is small.
Most of the guests escaped in their
night clothing, and some of them lose
their effects.

FOR MRS. FREMONT.
THE GIFT OF A HOUSE FROM HER
NUMEROUS FRIENDS.
of Ladies at Work to Raise $4,000 to
Purchase Suitable Home.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 1.-THE ladies'
committee for raising fund for
the benefit of Mrs. Fremont and
daughter, met here today. The
president read letter from Mrs. Ere
mont, declining any form of aid except
a dwelling. The sentiment of the letter
was that the proposition to raise money
for her support was an undeserved re-
Election upon her sons. She felt CRATE
full for the kindly feeling which prompt
ed the movement for her benefit.
w. B. Farwell, chairman of the citi-
zens' committee, stated that his commit
tee had raised 81 900. 1t was decided
to raise $4,000. The following address
was adopted:
We, the undersigned friends and
neighbors of Mrs Fremont and daugh-
ter, sympathizing keenly in their great
sorrow, have constituted ourselves a
voluntary committee for securing a
suitable home for them, which shall be
a gift from the women of California.
We offer an opportunity of assisting in
this, to all who will consider it an honor
and privilege. x,

shooting began right and left, and Mrs.
Rich was fatally wounded, being shot
three or four times. Rich was also
wounded and w. R. Mcclure
was shot dead. During the fight Mrs.
Rich pulled the mask off one man,
and she recognized him as Henry Arcar-
ro, an employee at the mine. Mcclure
also worked there. Fred Bennett, a
hanger-on at the saloon, escaped through
the window. Tar and feathers, supposed
to have been intended for him, were
afterwards found near by. The raid
was, no doubt, to permanently clear the
saloon of persons there occupying it,
particularly Bennett. Whether murder
was first intended or not none but the
raiders can tell. An inquest is being
held. No arrests have yet been made,
though parties are shadowed, awaiting
the result of the inquest.

AGITATED GAULS.
The Mckinley Bill Causes the Widest
Excitement in France.

PARIS, Oct. 11.-Agitation over
the new United States tariff
law, was greater than ever during
the last week. The widest IDEAS
as to the scope and effect of the
law were prevalent. Lyons violently
demonstrated against the heavily in
creased duties on silk. Bordeaux was
equally excited about wine, and the
whole of France was in condition of
extreme irritation and apprehension,
which was reflected by the newspapers.
M. Lockroy treats the idea
of a European Zollverein against Amer
lea, as Utopian. He holds that France,
unassisted by other countries, can open
the gates of the American Chinese wall,
by profiting by the word reciprocity"
which occurs in the new law.
