Burning Forests Work Destruco

QUEBEC, June 10.-All the forests
along the line of the Lake st. John
railway appear to be doomed to almost
total destruction, unless rain falls very
shortly. From the terminus of the rail-
way at Roberval, on the shores Of
Lake ST. John, to Lake st. Joseph, only
twenty-five miles from this city, one
connected belt of fire seems to be
sweeping onward through the whole
region on the Laurentsdes division of
the Lake st. John railroad. All the
woods in the parts surrounding Lake
st. John seems TO be on fire,
and at Riviere A'Pierre, a station
on the Lake st. John railway, over half
dozen houses were burned. Other
large hres, in addition 10 that on the
south shore, which has already licked
up the village OF Black Lake, are re4

SALISBURY, \. B., June 1O.-Terrible

especially on the northern branch OF
the Intercolonial railway. Kent juno
tion has been wiped out, the station
house, hotel and dwellings being all
gone. Wexford and Coal Branch are in
danger. Every man available is
engaged fighting the fire, and
saving property. Fully Sl2, GOO worth Of
standing bark and $4,000 worth of tan

His Own Children.

Special to the Globe
SEATTLE, Wash, June 10.-A queer
case of kidnapping. in which father
stole his own children from their
mother, occurred Monday night, ac-
cording to the statement of Mary Louise
Deyerscher, who is commonly regarded
as the wife of John Cort, the theater
manager. Yesterday she applied to
Judge Lichtenberg. through her attor-
neys, tor writ of habeas corpus to
compel John Lindsey White, alias
John Cort, TO give up her
two children which, she charges,
him with unlawfully conceaIing from
her. She says that she is not John
COrt's wife, but that she has been Iiv-
ing as his wife for seven years; that he
led her eStray under promise of mar
rage when she was on the stage, and
their two children, aged three years and
eighteen months, are illigitimate, and
she as their mother has right to their
custody. For some reason unknown to
her. she says, the children were stolen
away from home at the instance of
Cort on Monday evening. She saws
Cort took her out driving and on
returning home about S o'clock both
children were missing. She says she
started 70 search for them, when Cort
hastily closed the door, locking it, and
his manner, which had previously been
mild. changed, and he threw off the
mask, showing his anger, and told her
the children were where she would
never see them again. She alleges that
he ordered her to take off her fine cloth
Ing and put on old garments, and then
drove her from the house. This is the
woman's pitiful tale, and her grief over
the loss of her little one is apparently
very great. Judge Lichtenberg issued
and an order on John Cort to produce
the children IN court. Cort claims to

RICH TREASURE FOUND.
Rumored Unearthing of Fortune
Buried in War Times.

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 10.-Great ex-
citement prevails among the people of
Kershaw over the finding of S163, 900 in
gold and other valuable treasure, which
was buried in that neighborhood twen-
ty-four years ago, when Sherman's
army was passing through South Caro-
lima. The officers of the Camden bank
collected the money and jewelry and
brought it near Hanging Rock creek,
Kersbaw county, to bury it. They were
captured by Sherman's men and forced
to give up their treasure. The soldiers
in turn appointed one of their own
number, named Rhodes, to bury it.
Among the treasures was a gold pitcher
presented by the ladies of Charleston to
Calhoun. On his deathbed a few days
afterward Rhodes said he had buried
the money near an old mill. For the
past twenty years various parties have
been digging for the buried treasure.
but without success. Last Friday night,
however, 1t was secured by Mr.. Rhodes,
brother of the man who buried it, and a

insane hospital at Anna, ILL.,, reported
to-day that they found most deplora-

to work out in winter so scantily clothed
that their persons are indecently ex-
posed, and their feet soaked with water,
while in another case patient was
thrown upon heater, and held
there until badly burned. Another,
with high fever, was taken from his
room and beaten for asking for water.
The vilest epithets were used to in

ters of the Reformed Presbyterian
church ended to-day, and the synod, by
a vote of % to 81, expelled five of
them from the church. The charges

announcement Of the vote all
the suspended ministers left the church.
They were met on the outside by sew
eral ministers of the United Presby-
terian church. who extended to
them in an informal way
the right hand OF fellowship.
The scene during the voting was very
exciting. The verdict was not uneX-
pected and several ministers notified
the synod of their intention to follow

Laughlin, the famous jockey, was on

Two reasons were assigned for this ac-

without their consent, ridden horses be-
longing to other stables In races in
which they had an entry. This. the
owners claim, is in violation of the con-

BUTTE, Mont, June 10.-The most
atrocious crime ever committed in Mon
tana was the cold-blooded assassination
of Hon. W. J. Penrose at an early hour
this morning. Mr.. PenrOse was one of
the most prominent politicians of the
state, a member Of the legislature and
editor and proprietor of the Butte Mining
Journal. He had many enemies in pol
itics and socially, besides warm friends
and IN addition was involved III a
woman difficulty. one Bell Browning,
or Emma Turner, claiming to be his
wife, and threatening to kill him if he
refused to live with her. She had sent
him note at o'clock last evening,
which was torn up by him on its re-
ceipt. He accompanied
His Real Wife ti'
home about 7:3O o'clock, and was at
home until midnight. He then left the
house, saying he was going up town
for while. 1t is thought decOy note
must have reached him, although no
note can be found. He had walked one
block from his house toward the city
when he reached the point where his
body was found. He always walked
with his hand in his pantaloons
pocket, and was found on his back on
the sidewalk with his left hand still in
his pocket. Evidently he never knew
what struck him. A long bruiSe on the
top of his head showed he was first
knocked senseless with billet. Then
a revolver was placed to his left
ear and a bullet completed
the deadly work. Penrose'S money
and valuables were untouched. Various
theories are given of the crime. 1t is
known that at least three men were
concerned in 1t. for they had been seen
standing on the corner where the mur-
der was completed, and had been seen
running down the street soon after
wards.
4 Possible Clue.
One of them is believed to have stolen
horse down the street, and the horse
was tracked to a house on another
street. No one lives in the house, but
the tracks of the horses hoofs are in the
yard. The man on horseback is pretty
likely to be caught. A woman was also
seen walking very fast away from the
place soon after the time of the murder,
and the description of the woman is
similar to that of Belle Browning. She
is under arrest. 1t is thought generally
that the murder was the result of con-
spiracy by Mr.. PenroSe's bitterest enc
mics. The murder is the only delib-
crate one that ever occurred in this
city and the town is in mourning.
