LONDON. May 24.-At midnight Sat
urday Lord Romilly upset paraffine
lamp in the drawing room of his London
residence. He was alone at the time,
and vainly attempted to extinguish the
fire unassisted. Shortly after the butler
smelled smoke, and, on making an in
vestigation, found Lord Romilly lying
senseless in the burning drawing room,
the nobleman having been overcome by
smoke and the fumes arising from the
burning contents of the lamp. Lord
Romilly was subsequently removed to st.
Georges hospital, where all attempts to
revive him failed. Several fire engines,
III response to alarms sent out, fastened
to Lord Romilly's house, about which an
excited crowd gathered. The firemen,
on entering, found Blanche Griffin, a
houSemaid, and Ella Lowell, the cook, IN
the same state of insensibility in which
their employer was discovered. They
were also removed to the hospital, where
it was found that both were already
dead. Another female servant aud the
butler had succeeded in escaping from
the house. George Byne, fireman, re-
ceived serious injuries while engaged in
rescuing the unconscious inmates of the
house. The fire, which was not extern
slYe, was soon extinguished.

BUFFALO, May 24.-The friends of
Miss Bertha Flenner, of st. GATHERINGS,
Ont, who assembled here Friday night
to attend her marriage to J. Perry
Bowen, took heartbroken girl back to
Canada, for the bridegroom deserted her
at the last hour. j. Perry Bowen, pro-
Tossing to be literary man of wealthy
family, arrived in Buffalo three weeks
ago and engaged apartments at fash
ionable boarding house. Miss Flenner
was an occupant of the same house.
Within two weeks she dismissed the
young man to whom she was engaged
for two years and became engaged to
Bowen. He was a handsome, we'll
dressed man, fOrtY-two years old, but
seemingly younger, fluent talker and
apparently familiar with most of the
cities of the world. He represented
himself as an Englishman. whose fam
lily was living at Eighth and c streets,
Washington, and the frequency with
which he received letters and telegrams
from Washington seemed to bear out
his assertion. According to his story
his father had bequeathed him a fort
une OF 100000, SO invested as to produce
large revenue. Besides his elegant
house in Washington, he elaborately de-
scribed his house in St.Augustine, Fla,
where he proposed to take his bride. In
one of the letters which he received
from his mother she urged him not to
divulge the deathbed secret of his
father. He explained this by
saying that there was fam
lily secret connected with the pos
session of the estate, which each
heir in turn was compelled to swear
never to make known. Bowen said his
sister, Agnes Bowen, held ali import
ant position in the pension department..
While here Bowen devoted himself to
writing a novel, the manuscript of
which he left behind him. On We'd
nesday Bowen and his fiance took apart
ments at the Tiff house, and ev.Henry
Adams was engaged to perform the
marriage ceremony. At the last mo-
ment it was postponed, Bowen announce
ing that it must be deferred until his
mother and sister, who were accom-
panied by distinguished party from
Washington, could arrive. That day
Bowen disappeared, and then it was
found that he had borrowed money and
contracted debts everywhere. Miss
Flenner's trunks were seized for the
hotel bill, and Friday night her relat-
ives took her back to Canada.

CHICAGO PRAIRIE FIRE.
a Lot OF Excursionists at Calumet

CHICAGO, May 25.-Between 4,OOe
and 5000 excursionists from this city
who went out to Calumet Heights this
afternoon were compelled to run fot
their lives before a prairie fire. which
formed a sheet of fame half a mile
IN width. Sixteen passenger coaches
loaded with seekers of suburban lots
went out from the city early in the
AFTERNOON. and when all had disem-
parked at Calumet Heights that suburb
presented the aspect of vast plcnie
ground. Some boys threw matches
into the dead prairie grass, and
III an instant the blaze had
assumed the dimensions of genuine
prairie fire. A brisk northeasterlv wind
was blowing. and rs the blaze started in
tue sout1easterly portion of the plated
prairle, the flames spread and advanced
win tremendous rapidity. Calumet
delghtS was thrODged with Wis

pidlty OF the wind Il stampede followed.

PHILADELPHIA. May 4.-Nothing
new was developed to-day that would
serve to throw light on what has be-
come of the million of money that Treas
urer Bardsley says he deposited in
the Keystone bank, and which
Examiner Drew and Receiver Yardley
say there is no'record of Oh tie banks
books. The two questions that excited
the greatest interest to-day were will
Bardsley be we'll enough TO appear at
the hearing of his case tomorrow.
There is no doubt but that Mr..
Bards1ey is very sick man, the
terrible strain which he has been
under having completely prostrated
him. The $4,000 which Mr. BardSley
is accused of misappropriating, it
seems, does not belong to the city at all.
1t is said that the money was that re-
tanned by MIR. Bardsley from warrants
of highway contractors as guaran-
tee of the faithful fulfillment of
their work. If when the case is
given hearing Mr.. .Bardsley can prove,
which from present indications he can,
that he paid over the money to the con-
tractors, the city authorities will be
placed in the embarrassing position of
having hauled into court on a Grim
lnal charge man who as yet they have
no evidence against to warrant sucn a
charge.

SHOT TO KILL,
But Had Rather Poor Luck at

1t.
COLUMBUS, O., May 24.-The recent
order of Mayor Karb, closing low yari-
ETY. theaterS with bar attachments and
where women were admitted, came
near resulting in a tragedy at an early
hour this morning. 81 Morris, the pro-
prietor of a theater of this class, was
taking a benefit last night, and the
police had reason to believe he was vio-
lating the order, and an officer pro-
ceeded to inspect the wine rooms and
private boxes. He entered the private
apartments of Mrs. Morris, on the same
floor, and she made an attack on the
officer, ordering him out. She
was joined by Morris a moment
later, and the two, with some
female friends, retired to the private
apartments and Morris barricaded the
doors. While the officers were making
an effort to batter down the door, Nor
ris fired two shots, which passed through
the panels, but no one was injured. He
refused to be taken alive and held the
officers at bay for two hours with the
threat that he would kill the first who
entered. A great crowd gathered, and
the excitement was such that the situa-
ton became critical until Chief of Po-
lice Murphy ordered the crowd dis
persed. Two hours later Morris sent
word to the police, who surrounded the
house, that he would surrender if they
would not arrest the women. This stip-
ulatlon was agreed to, but Mrs. Morris
made such vicious attack on the Off
GERS when they entered the room she
was also locked in the city jail. Morris
is charged with shooting to kill and his
wife with interference with the officers.
