THE UNFORTUNATE SMELLS.
A Servant Girl Arrested Charged Wi
Poisoning Mrs. Smell.

A Servant Girl Arrested Charged With
Poisoning Mrs. Smell.
CHICAGO, March 18.-A new chapter
in the troubles of the Smell family was
unfolded to-day which may rival the
righteousness of the murder of million
aire Smell and the disappearance of Tas-
colt. A few days ago Hattie Juerst,
nurse girl employed in the family of
Albert J. Smell, was arrested charged by
her employer with larceny. 1t now
seems that the son of the dead Million
sire, who had placed two private detec-
tives in his family did not do this merely
to ascertain whether or not Hattie Juerst
had stolen q few valuables, but to dis
v the strange cause Of the illness Of
Mrs. Smell. For some weeks past Mrs.
SMELLS health has been failing
very rapidly. Finally it was
noticed that the tonic she was
taking was having a decidedly
bad effect. One day she found in the
bottom of the bottle a white sediment
which her physicians said was not part
of the tonic. Then wine was substituted
for the tonic, but the same bad effects
followed, and the doctor told Smell that
his wife was being poisoned. An ex-
animation disclosed the presence IN the
wine OF the same powder that had
been been found in the tonic. De-
tectives were employed, and Hattie
Juersts' arrest on a larceny charge
followed. In her trunk was found $500
worth of Mrs. SHELLS property, and a
vial Of white powder, apparently identi;
cal with that found with the tonic and
the wine bottles. The powder has been
submitted TO q chemist for analysis, and,
pending his report, the attorney for the
Smells refuses to talk.

They Steal Several Thousand Dollars
Worth of Goods.
PIrTsBuRG, March 12.-For a year
every freight train that has passed
through Fixburg on the Pittsburg and
Western branch road has been found
to be minus valuable freight consign-
ments. No light had been thrown on
the robberies until four youths named
Richard Moore, Robert Sloane, Alfred
DAVIS and Dick Glaring were arrested
and confessed. As a result of the con-
fession, Conductor Fickerson, who had
been once arrested, tried, cleared and
reinstated in his position. was again
arrested and when confronted by the
boys, broke down. He confessed that
he carried the manlfests and directed
the gang to break open only the most
valuable packages, and that they had
secured many thousand dollars worth
in a years time. Jesse Jones, and Bert
Graham a brakeman, and a yardman
named Rupert, all of Fixburg, have been
arrested and several more are wanted
but have disappeared.

A Man Throws His Child's remain
Into the River to Save Funeral Ex-
penses.
CHICAGO, March PA dispatch sent
from here last night stating that the
Northwestern and the Milwaukee, &
st. Paul roads we're investigating the
box mystery at Manitowoc, Wis. The
box, presumably from Chicago, was
taken from the train there, and subse.
quently found near a hole in the ice in
the river, and there were evidences
that the contents, supposed to be
human remains, had been thrown into the
river. The city marshal of Msnitowoc
telegraphs that the man who carried
the box has been found. He lives at
Sheboygan, Wis, and the remains con-
signed to the river were those of his
own child, two years old. It, is sup.
posed that he did this to avoid paying
funeral expenses.

The building in which the fire origin

The building in which the fire origin
ally started, was owned by Mendel
Bros, real estate men of Chicago, and
was occupied by Alfred Benjamine & Co.,
probably the largest manufacturers OF
fine, ready.made mems clothing i n the
country. At first it seemed as if the
fremen would have an easy victory
owe the flames, but the flames soon
made their way all through the build
ing. It looked like a con1agration that
would only end when it had no more
to feed upon. The six-story building
the east, and occupied by
NJ. 81. Rosenstein, ostrich
feathers, was next to succumb to the
flames, which then moved on to the
double brick building owned and occu-
pied in part by Hammers]ough, Sakes a
Co.. clothiers, on the third, fourth, fifth,
sixth and seventh floors, and by b.
| O'Connell & Co., matters, on the lower
| floors. Meantime the fire had extended
to the sixth story of the brick building
occupied partly by Rosenstein and partly
by Sylvester, Leyacher & Co., manufac-
turers of hats, caps and furs. The build.
ing extended through to Mercer street.
| and thence the fire speedily forced its
way out on on that side of the structure.
It looked as if the whole block was
doomed. About Z o'clock the roof of the
building in which the fire started
fell in with a crash, carrying
| floor after floor with it in it's descent.A few
minutes later the front wall toppled and
| fell into Blocker streeter. Finally only
the eastern wall of the building was left
standing. Then the roof of the Ham
merslough building fell in, but the other
walls remained intact. By 10 o'clock,
however the fremen had the flames we'll
in hand and there seemed no danger OF its
| spreading further.

His Fears Are Groundlsss.

CHICAGO, March &c. A. Eastman,
an educated Ogalla Sioux Indian, arrived
here to-day from Pine Ridge Agency, s.
d. 81 came down here" said he, "as a
sort of messenger and to combine bust.
ness with a tour of investigation at Fort
Sheridan. I have. been in the camps OF
the Indians at Pine Ridge and I assure
you that from present indications the
probability of another Indian war is very
promising. There is a great deal of
whispering and discomfort among the In
dams. Personally I refuse to believe the
Indians will do anything desperate, but
the young braves are holding secret con-
%ferences, and even the conservative men,
bers of the camp are talking war. Since
Kicking Bear, Short Bull and the "a 9th
ers were taken to Fort Sheridan, not one
official word as to their treatment has
been sent to their families. It is gener-
ally believed among the Indians that the
band of 26 is to be put to DEATH"

"DEsTITUTE" COMMITTEE

A Delegation From Nebraska and South
Dakota Soliciting Aid in Chicago.
CHICAGO, March PA meeting of ed
itors of agricultural papers was held to-
day in the Rand-McNally building for
the purpose of listening to Mira. 81. M.
Blackfan of Nebraska and A. A. Pain Of
South Dakota, delegates to solicit help
for the destitute population of the arid
districts of South Dakota, Kansas and
Nebraska. Most of the afternoon was
spent in hearing the pitiful statements of
the delegates. Another meeting, to de-
wise some means of relief will be held to-
morrow at the Grand Pacific hotel. This
evening, Milton George, who presided at
the meeting to-day, said: Farmers in
certain portions of Kansas, Nebraska
and South Dakota are in a frightful
plight. There seems to be no doubt of
this. These people come here with
and the tales which they
tell of the suffering and ~privation
would harrow the heart of a stole. All
they ask is for food for their stock and
seed grain. I have talked the matter
over with a number of wealthy
business men, and they are all disposed
to help. Armour, Higglnbotham,s Har-
vey and others have signified their
willingness to do something handsome
provided they are assured that these
people are acting for all, and that there
will be no necessity for doing the work
over again. I have seen nearly every
one of the officials of the railroads
running west, and they unanimously
agree to carry the stuff sent to the
arid districts free of charge" Some
definite action, j. is expected, will be
taken at the meeting tomorrow.

CHICAGO, March 13.-Buffalo Bill has
secured the consent of Secretary Noble
and will within a few days start for
Europe with the hostile Sioux now held
prisoners at Fort Sheridan. They are
to make up a part of Colonel Cody's
Wild West show. Secretary Noble has
also given his consent for Cody to take
as many more Indians as he wishes by
their consent first being obtained. The
Indians at Fort Sheridan are a cross
between a nuisance and white elephant
to both the wal and interior departments
and it is understood that Secretary
Noble was only too glad for the oppor-
tunity to get rid of them. The Indians
were of course glad to do anything to get
out of prison.

At New Orleans Reports that The Author
tiles Are to Blame.
WASHINGTON, March 18.-Baron Fava,
the Italian minister, to-day received the
first reports from the italian consul at
New Orleans in relation to the killing of
the Italians there last Saturday. These
reports, it is said, sustain the position
taken by Baron Fava in his protest to
Blaine of March 18th, with relation to
the inaction Of the authorities Of New
Orleans before and during the shooting.
In transmitting q copy of the reports to
Secretary Blaine, Baron Fava repeated
that The conduct of the local authorities
at New Orleans was, in the highest de-
gree, blameable, for the reason that it
was not in keeping with their duties to
protect the lives of the italian sub
jects according to the terms Of the treaties
existing between the two countries, as
had been called to the attention Of the
governor by Secretary Blaine with un-
questionable spirit Of Justice: to which
tho baron said he bore cheerful witness.

MOUNT STERLING, KY, March 12.-
A mob Tuesday night came nea lynch
ing the Wigginton family, composed of
John Wigginton and his four sons, for
the poisoning of VIM. Ferguson and B.
G. Watts, his son-in-law, both of whom
died. Miss Boyd, a granddaughter of
Ferguson, is still in a critical condition.
W%igginton was suspected and after his
arrest the boys, the youngest Of whom is
only 10 years old, confessed. Their
father bought the arsenic and sent two
of his sons to Ferguson's house. One of
them slipped into the kitchen and put
the arsenic in the coffee pot after supper.
Next morning the cold coffee was used
with the fresh coffee and the family was
poisoned. Wigginton and Watts had
raised tobacco last year and there was a
dispute between them about $17 Of the
proceeds, and on this account Wigginton
wanted to kill Watts.
