TWO BIG FIRES
Destroy Nearly Half Million Dollars
Worth of Property.

ST. LOUIS, No., Sept 27.--Between 8
and A o'clock this afternoon fire was
discovered in the machinery storage
room Of the Plant Milling Company,
situated at the foot of Choteau avenue,
and the flames spread so rapidly that the
tiremen could do nothing but save
adjoining property. The mill was q
tiYe-story brick structure, 75 feet front
on Choteau avenue, and 100 feet. The
warehouse contained 1000 barrels OF
flour and building and contents are in
ruins. The capacity of the mill was
1880 barrels per day and was one OF the
largest in this country. George Z.
Plant, the president Of the company,
places the loss ut 100000, with insur-
ance about the same. The original
Plant Milling Company was established
in 1851 and the company Is one OF the
best known in the country. The mills
will be rebuilt.
About o'clock and shortly after the
Plant mill Gre had been gotten under
control, an alarm was sounded from
Ninth and Spruce streets, the location
OF the immense warehouse of the Man
sur-Tibbetts Agricultural Implement
Company. A fire had started in u small
two-story unoccupied building on the
corner OF Ninth street, and in a few
minutes the flames extended to the six
story building of the Mansur-Tibbetts
Company. The building was filled
from basement to roof with all kinds Of
farm implements, wagons, etc, and in
less than half an hour the entire
building was u mass Of flames. In less
than an hour the walls on all sides
crumbled away, and what was this
morning one OF the finest and most sub
stantial buildings in the city, is now
almost level with the ground, and its
contents entirely consumed. Tho stock
in the ware house was valued at about
S225, 600, and was nearly, if not quite,
covered by insurance in home and for
eign companies. The building was
owned by the Tiffany Real Estate Com.

PARIS, Sept. 27.-Foreign Minister
Ribot, at Paunee to-day, unveiled
statue Of General Faidherbe. After
paying tribute to the military virtues
of the general as an example to the
army, he traced the phases of the re-
public since its foundation and said:
"Henceforth she is the mistress OF
her own destiny. Her position has
been consolidated through adhesion to
the principles OF prudence and modera-
ton. Europe, whose attitude was for
some time uncertain, has at length ran-
dered France justice. A sovereign, far-
sighted in pacific designs and as firm us
France, has publicly manifested the
deep sympathies uniting the two coun-
tries Cries of "viye 10 Carl vive Ia

Joined the Car in extending cordial
friendship to France. You know how
well these sentiments are reciprocated.
The Cronstadt incidents found an echo
in the smallest OF our hamlets us much
as in our government spheras. Mover
theless they have not caused us to tor-
get what went before and what followed.
Our hearts have been touched by the
sentiments of friendship extended to
the French sailors. Wherever they
went they have found France respected,
as was seen in the demonstrations in
their honor in Denmark and Sweden,
and finally at Portsmouth, where Queed
Victoria received them in person and
accorded them an imposing courteous
welcome. These events have made an
impression on tho whole world that

spAnrANsnuRo, s. G., Sept. 27.-This
city, situated on the Charlotte & At
lanta railway, branch of the r. & D.
system, was the scene Of tragedy at 6
p. IN. to-day. ]. Henneman, the mayor,
was shot down without moments
warning and the murderer is now in
jail in momentary expectancy OF
being lynched. A burly negro by
the name OF John Williams was
making u disturbance at home with
his wife. Cries Of all sorts werc heard
from that direction, when Mayor Hen
neman went to the house to find out the
cause. He arrested Williams and was
trying to prevent his escape until the
police came to his assistance. Williams
succeeded in pushing Henneman out OF
the door, and while he was falling, shot
him in the back, killing him instantly,
To say the town was excited does not
begin to express it. Groups OF excited
men are gathered all over the city talk
ing OF nothing else.
At this hour Is p. m.) the Jail is sur;
rounded by howling mob, and
lacks only leader to procure the pris-
oner. There is no doubt but that
South Carolina will add another lynch
ing to her list tonight.
Mayor Henneman is the same man
who some time ago prevented a mob
from lyuching murderer Turner, an in
fiuential farmer who killed his brother
in-law. Henneman, on this occasion,
mounted cannon which the mob had
placed near the Jail, and with pistol
in his hand, shouted that he would kill
the first person who approached the
jail. BY his GOODNESS Turner was saved.

THE CRASH HAS COME.
The Alton Road Out of the Western Pas
senger Association and Cutting of
Rates viii Begin.

CHICAGo, June -. The crash has
come at last. There can scarcely be a
doubt that the disruption of the Western
Passenger Association is at hand. as the
result of the controversy between Char
man Finley and the Alton road. The
latter ON June 10th made an application
for authority to establish rate of six
dollars from Chicago to ST. Louis; rate
of ten dollars to Kansas City. and twen-
ty-five dollars from Chicago to Denver,
allegations being made of irregularities
on the part of its competitors with re-
spect to mileage and other forms of
transportation rending necessary the
proposed rates for the protection Of its
traffic.
Chairman Finley gave out the ruling
today that was surprise to everybody.
inasmuch as he declared substantially
that the Alton. by its past conduct. had
forfeited all right to protection under the
agreement. Many railroad men are Of
the opinion that Chairman Finley has
exceeded his authority in giving the
| decision. They hold that his business
is to interpret agreement and that the
Alton is still regarded as a member of
the association. Its application should
have been passed upon without refer
encc to anything that it had done before
They say the chairman had no power tc
read the road out of the association, and
that so far as the ATOMS refusal to pay
the penalties is concerned the chairman
did his whole duty when he informed
the other members of that fact.
The Alton. however. accepts Finley's
decision as final. and will proceed to act
independently of the Western Passenger
association. Legal notice will be giver
tomorrow of its intention to reduce the
rate between Chicago and Denver from
$1,000 to S21: between Chicago and Kan
sas City from $3.50 to 5lS. and betweer
Chicago and st. Louis from $50 to So
The issue has now been clearly defined
and so far as the Alton is concerned it j:
war to the knife.
QUITE sensation was caused today by
the announcement of the Burlington tina
it will Immediately resume payment o
passenger commissions in eastern terri
tory. The reason given is that it ha
not received the protection that wa
guaranteed by the board Of rulings.

Where Muslin Originated.

Mosul, like many cities in Central
Asia, earned for itself q reputation Of old
for the beauty of its gold-wrought silken
textiles. Cotton grew all around in
plenty; the inhabitants, especially the
women, were gifted with such quick feel
ing of finger that they could spin thread
from this cotton of more than hair-like
fineness. Cotton with them took the
place of silk in the loom, and gold was
not forgotten in the weaving. Their
work. not only because it was so much
cheaper. but from its own peculiar beau
ty and comeliness, won for itself a high
place in common estimation, and the
name of the town where it was wrought
in such perfection was given to il as its
distinctive name. Hence, whether WOW
en- with or without gold. we call this cot
ton web muslin, from the As!atic city
Aosul."
