 The woman who rode on broOmSttck,

 Eating his Christmas pie.
 These were some of the old favorites, but they have been supplanted by the "Pansy" and "Chatterbox' stories, "Lit- tie Lord Fauntleroy," and "Five Little Peppers" The old fashioned pills and physics have been superseded, and wisely, too, by Pierce's Purgative Pellets, a mild, harmless and effective cathartic. They are pleasant to take-so gentle in their action that the most delicate child can take them, yet so effective that they will cure the most obstinate cases of constipa- tion, stomach, liver and bowel troubles. They should be in every nursery. As a gentle laxative, only one for dose.

wings of the stage, every inch of
space was utilized, and not till
the last words of the speaker died away
did single person leave the building.
Fully 5000 were unable to gain admit

introduced as 1.-The man who had done
more for the cause of the laborer than

with perfect ovation, and it

his remarks he confined himself to the

goods. The structure is four stories in
height and runs through to Water street.
AS the flames were observed to be
mounting up a corps OF firemen con-
veyed line of hose to the second and
then TO the third stories. They broke
into the sashes and entered with their
stream and directed 1t upon the blazing
oil.
The water stream seemed only to
make the flames nore wicked, and at a
flash they enveloped the firemen and
drove them back to the ladders. down
which they tumbled and were severely
injured. The hospital ambulaDceS were
on the ground and the injured men
were promptly removed. About this
time the fire burst forth in great fury
from the Water street front of the
building, and great volumes of green
ish, heavy smoke belched forth from
the roof, driving the tiremen back from
their positions. Every drop of water
ootalnable on the street mains was now
being poured on the burning building,
and Delaware avenue became a rivulet
of oil and water. Just in the nick of
time a police boat arrived, and in a
little while was pumping water from
the Delaware river OH the flames.
All efforts failed to keep the fire
down. however, and at O'clock the
buildings on the west side of Water
street were on fire. The spice mills on
North Water street were seen to be
smoking all along the roofs clear
through to Front street. At this time,

stored in the buildings burned about

SPECIAL to the Globe.
SIoUY FALLS, s. D., Sept. 2S.-There
is 10 member of the Sioux Falls divorce
colony who has stood and still stands
higher in the matter Of social elevation
of the world than Baroness Destuers,
wife of the Belgian minister in Paris.
Before her marriage she was Miss
Cory, niece of John Jacob Astor, and
her international alliance at the time it
occurred was society epoch in
New York. Her trip to Sioux
Falls was construed to mean
a determination to make an application
for divorce. To-day the suspicion was
converted into an established fact by
the filing of the complaint. This paper
was served on the baron in Paris Satur-
day, and he has cabled instructions TO
an attorney to make an appearance and
defense. The complaint recites that
the baron and baroness we're married
in New York May 20, 1875, and
that ever since their marriage the
baron has pursued a course of extreme
Paris, France, in 1880 and in 1890 the
baron applied foul epithets, and accused
his wife of not being chaste; that on
June IA, 1890, defendant, by fraud and
false representation, attempted to pro-
cure her incarceration in an institution
for the confinement of insane persons.
This last fact will be decided one in
the trial. 1t is maintained that the
baron was anxious to control his wife's
estate, the annual income of which
is estimated at $4,000, and to do this it
was necessary to prove that she was in
sane. To escape the evil scheme of her
husband the baroness left at midnight
with her maid and box of jewels the
home of her husband in Paris and took
the train for Germany, then to Amer
lea, where she was advised by relatives
to secure separation. The baron has
possession of the three children. The
baroness demands the custody Of the
daughter, Margaret.

He Cruelty Murders His Mother
for Whim.

DURANGO, COL, Sept. 2S.-Ralph Ray,
the twenty-year-old murderer of his
mother, was captured Saturday evening
in Cabon Large, n. NJ, by Sheriff Long
necker and returned to this city to-day.
He made a confession to the sheriff last
night. in which he gave particulars of
the crime. He said that after he and
his mother had eaten breakfast last
Wednesday morning he went to the
barn and took two drinks OF whisky
from bottle he had hidden in the hay.
Returning to the house he informed his
mother that he was going to Farming
ton, n. NJ, to attend the fair. Mrs. Ray
remonstrated,snot desiring to be left
alone.
This angered him, and as his mother
passed him for the door with pan in
her hand, he struck her terrible blow
on the back of the head with hatchet,
sinking the iron into her head TO the
handle. She sank to the floor without a
moan, and the son then plunged his
hunting knife into her breast three
times, wrapped the body in quilt,
mounted his horse and started for Mex
leo. The father returned from his
mine that night and the crime was dis
covered sooner than young Ray had eX-
pected, or he would have successfully
made his escape across the border. The
murderer was arraigned this morning.
and without tremor or the slightest iD-
dicatiOn of remorSe pleaded guilty. Mr..
Ray, the gray-haired father of the
young murderer, has gone insane over
the terrible affair, and his life is de-
SPARED of.

Special to the Globe
DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 2S.-The will
of the late John d. Howard was filed in
probate court this afternoon. The ell
tire estate, consisting, according to the
most conservative statement, of S20O0,-
600 worth of real estate and cash, is left
to his four sons, Benjamin F., John g.,
julius ID. and Jay Cook Howard. His
daughter, Ida Marion Gilbert, gets pal
try 5000 per anpum, and his son Edward
G. Howard, who was defendant in the
Northumberland gambling suits re-
Gently tried. is cut off with 500 in cash.
There is considerable adverse comment
to the action Of the teStator in this mat
ter. His reasons, as given to his law
yer, for this partialty were that his
daughter married against his wishes and
Edward had too many gambling debts.
The real cause, however, can probably
be traced to the fact that the two chill
dren who are practically disinherited
were always outspoken against the way
the old man used to abuse his wife, who
died two years ago. All the boys are
we'll liked and fair-minded, and will
probably do what is right towards Ed
ward and Ida.
