FAMILY BURNED.

In the Ruins All Day Undiscovered.

in tho Ruins All Day Undiscovered.
COLUMBUS, o., November 13.-At an
early hour this evening a row OF cheap
frame buildings on North High street,
were destroyed by fire. At five this
evening the firemen found the remains
of human beings, and began thorough
investigation. Four bodies were taken
out and removed to the coroner's Office
1t seems an entire family was burned.
The name of the man, who with his
entire family was burned, Is Charles
Betheard. The fire occurred at four
o'clock this morning, and neither the
firemen nor the police knew anything
of the loss OF life until their attention
was called to the fact by a lody of the
burned family.
When the firemen reached the bnild-
ing and climbed into the room they
made a search, and were greeted by a
horrible sight. The father was on the
floor with his oldest daughter in his
arms. They were burned to crisp.
Mrs. Beatheard, the mother, waslying
partially on the bed and partially on the
floor. The body Of the unfortunate
woman was In natural and life-like
position, and looked as II death had
overtaken her in her efforts to reach
the floor.
Her body was perfectly nude, and her
back was in horrible condition. Itap-
peared as II all her clothing had been
burned off and her flesh cooked by the
flames. The other two children were
living face downward on the bed where
they had met their death. The unfor-
tunate family was very poor, as are
their relatives, and already steps are
being taken TO give them decent
burial. The loss by fire amounted to
s15, 900. about half covered by insu-
rance.

A BERLIN EMBEzZLER
Gets Away with a Big Lot OF Money
Much OF Which Was Held in Trust.

BEu1.IN, November 13.--The ru-
NOR regarding the miSappropriation
of funds in Charltonburg bank
spread rapidly. Later in the day it
transpired that the story was absolute
lv true. and that another name is to be
added to the list of men standing high
in the financial and social world of Ber-
lin whe have within the past few weeks
proven recreant to the trust.
The Charltonburg banker who has
robbed his customers is named Mass.
The sum total of his embezzlements will
amount to a very large sum. The money
appropriated by Mass to his own use in
cludes the sum of 10000 marks which
had been subscribed toward the fund
for the creation of church in memory
Of the late Empress Augusta. grand
mother of Emperor William.
Ten thousand marks which were to
he devoted to the Prince Frederick
Charles Institute have also disappeared.
In addition to the $4,000 marks, Mass

THE CAUSE OF IT.

A Conspiracy Uneartbed Whereby IL was
Hoped to Rob the Autocrat of Some OF
His Power.
LONDON, November 13.-Some sur
prise was expressed in this city upon the
receipt of the dispatch announcing the
extraordinary activity which was being
displayed by the Russian government In
connection with the internal disturb
ances which are known to exist In the
empire.
1t was thought at first that the gov
ernment's action was due to the troubles
arising from the scarcity OF food In
MANY districts of Russia, as for some
DAYS past dispatches have been received
depicting with minuteness the terrible
sufferings of the starving peasants.
Many acts of lawlessness have oeen
reported as having been committed by
men rendered desperate Dy the pan2s OF
hunger and the statement made that the
marshals OF the nobility would be held
TO strict accountability for any politl-
cal disturbance in their districts was
supposed to mean that the starving peas
ants and small farmers were assuming
threatening attitude.
dispatch was received this evening
however puts all speculation to hight
and gives very sufficient reason for the
suspicions of the Russian Central Gov
ernmens that there is something wrong
IN the empire.
This dispatch states that short time
ago it came to the knowledge OF the
police that conspiracy was under way.
The authorities, through the system OF
espionage, which prevails thrbughout
Russia, were able to learn who the con-
spirators were, their places OF meeting,
and in fact everything connected with
the plot.
While secretly pursuing their investi-
cations in ST. Petersburg they found
that the conspirators in that city were
only part OF very numerous band,
the headquarters Of which was located
at Moscow. They learned also that the
conspirators had been very active in So
curing adherents to their plan, and that
the conspiracy had qualifications which
spread to all the principal cities OF the
empire.
The object of the conspiracy just un-
earthed, unlike majority of the plots
discovered in Russia, was not to kill the
Car, but was the organization OF a
movement, having for its end the crea-
tion OF a representative assembly, an
object which has been the dreamIof
many Russians for years. Sixty men,
bers OF the nobility, and OF the upper
and middle classes, who are charged
with completely in the conspiracy have
been arrested.
The discovery Of the plot and the ar
rest Of so many prominent subjects has
caused a decided sensation In Russia.

be stopped, for they are likely to
do Chicago incalculable injury, far
greater than any damage that they could
do by overt violence. They might blow
up building or Two, but they could not
get control of the city and aside from
the loss of life there might
be, the loss would not prob
ably be over say hundred
thousand dollars. But the effect OF this
agitation. if allowed to continue, and l
believe that is its object, would be to
give Chicagoa bad reputation, to keep
millions Of capital away, and work ire
parable harm to the Worlds Fair by
frightening foreigners who believing
Chicago an unsafe place to which to send
their goods or come themselves.

Big Custom House Receipts.

VALPARAISO, November 13.-The re-
ceipts az the custom house at Iquique,
one of the largest OF the nitrate ports
OF Chile, during the month OF October,
amounted to S2,267, 900. The greater
portion of this amount was paid as ex-
port duties on the nitrate shipped from
that port. Though the customs receipts
at Iquique have always been heavy
since the discovery Of the valuable
nitrate lands in that vicinity, the
amount received during October is the
largest ever known in the history.

A VISIT TO CHICAGO.

Mr.John McCarthy,of Worcester
Academy, on his return from his
recent visit to Chicago, wrote let.
ter to his home paper, the Norwich
Conn. J Daily Bulletin, from which
the following are extracts;
After visit of a few days to
Chicago | feel like writing to my
friends at home and preparing
them for what they will see two
years hence when they shall visit
the World fair. You easterners
need to take Chicago in broken
doses | wish to break to dali and
prejudiced eastern ears some things
which after the first twinge of in
voluntary jealousy passes away,
they will be glad to know.
The first impression which Chi.
cago makes upon an eastern visitor
is that of civic power. Chicago is
perfectly competent to handle the
World : fair. II youmake apologies
to our European visitors as they
stop with you on their way TO Chi
c0go, for the meagerness and in
competence Of Worlds fair held
IN that city, you will have your
own good judgment to vindicate
to that friend on his way back.
In transit facilities, in vast bust
ness edifices, in spacious but
crowded avenues, Chicago, to the
eye, is as great as any city on the
continent, while in the aspect Of
both city and people, Chicago
stands first Nowhere can so large
proportion Of well looking ladies
and gentlemen be seen as upon the
streets Of Chicago during business
hours. Cambridge has Harvard;
New Haven, Yale; and New York,
Columbia; but Chicago in all but
history and renown, which are not
made in a day, has a duplicate for
each Of them and several besides.
or churches Chicago has simply
hosts; and none of the older cities
has so few badly constructed
churches as Chicago; liberality
good sense, reserve, characterize
the church ediiices of that city;
they are usually spacious;. several
Chicago pastors preach TO over
1000 sitters every Sunday morn
ingl Chicago churohos abound with
the contriyances which have
changed churches from merely
empty shells into nets for the use
Of fishers Of men.

MANsUR ON THE STRIP.

A letter from Congressman Man.
sur says that there is no longer
any doubt about the early opening
OF the Strip TO white settlement.
Since Judge Green's decision in
the stone quarry case, sentiment
has changed in regard to the Cher
okee's title to these lands. Many
of the eastern congressman and
senators who have heretofore op.
posed the bill on the grounds that
the Cherokees had title to the
Strip, are now fully convinced
that the Indians have long since
forfeited their rights to these lands
and that the Outlet belongs to the
government. Mr.. Mansur has re.
ceived letters from leading con
gressmen and senators, since Judge
Green's decision, who did not ia.
vor his plan Of opening the Strip,
but now they say that unless the
Cherokeeg accept the offer of 81 %
per acre by the commission that
they are in favor of throwing the
country open. and if there il any
settlement TO be made with the
Cherokees, let it be made after.
wards. They are all in favor Of
paying the Indians 81 25 per acre
in addition to what they have al.
ready received, but no more. He
says there is, in fact, no opposition
TO the bill now, and If the Chero.
KEGS do not come to the termg OF
the commission IN November ihat
II Will be one Of the first bills 10 60
through. ltis the opinion of those
who are working for the measure
that IL will pass both houses and
be ready for the presidents sigma
ture before the LIST Of January 1892
and that the proclamation will be
issued and the country opened to
settlement some time IN February,
probably the 22Dd, as that seems
to have become fixed date with
the administration for the opening
Of land in the Territory. There Is
but very little doubt but what the
Strip will be opened next spring.
II may not be as early as Mr.. Mau-
sur predicts, but will probably not
be later than the 22nd Of. March or
April ArdmoFo Chioiiaip.

At the opening Of the most mo-
msntous session of council ever
held in the Cherokee naiiotf IA
council that will mean more good
or more evil to the people than any
previous meeting Of that body
Tar CHIEFTAIN desires to say to
its readers that it intends without
fear, favor or partiality, to give the
gist of council proceedings, inde-
pendent of all political parties.
II recognizes the fact that the
Cherokees, as a nation of people,
have reached a point where its in
terests must be watched with
jealous care. The people have a
right to know the true status of
affairs. THE CHIEFTA1N is not
blind to the fact that there are a
great many things "done in a cor
ner;" that rings are formed and gi-
gantic schemes consummated about
which the people know nothing,
and in view thereof it has arrsnged
for the fullest possible reports of
the proceedings of the coming
council. The services of men of
ability and influence have been
secured to look after its interests
and vouchsafe a careful review of
ali that transpires. 1t is our earn
est desire to give all the news-to
tell the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, OF interest from the
capital. The actions of senators
and councillors alike will be watch
ed with more than usual interest.
They will be expected to do their
whole duty. From the outlook at
present this will be working coun-
ell. From all parts of the nation
comes the cry of a determination
to act. Those who have been
chosen to the council and senate
from the different districts realize
the importance of the present situ-
alton and they, standing as they
are in the full gaze of their consht-
uency with the present and future
of this peoples interests upon
their shoulders, will, without
doubt, act conscientiously and
promptly. 1t is hoped that the
time has passed when cattle syndi-
Gates and rings can influence coun.
Gil. The exposures and develop
ments of last summer will certainly
be enough warning to the average
member 60 steer clear of that class
of LOBBYISTS.
