The writ has not been executed and the

ST. LOUIS BADLY SCORCHED.
A MILLIoN-DOLLAR CONFEDERATION
ONE OF SEVERAL FIRES,

| Many Four-Story business Buildings Wiped
ter Invaded-A Second Fire in the After
noon Intensiies the Panic.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. ia great fire broke
out at 4:30 this morning in the large dry
goods house of Penny Il Gentles. Before
the engines arrived Penny s Gentles' store,
the Sonnenfeld Millinery Company and the
mammoth establishment of the Famous
Shoe and Clothing Company, occupying
four entire blocks of four-story buildings on
Broadway, were in flames, and within two
hours all the walls had fallen and nothing
was left but ashes and bent and twisted iron
girders.
Opposite Penny & Gentles' and Sonnen-
fields stores is the immense dry goods store
of d. C. Crawford & CO. While the fire
was at its height the heat was so intense
that the fremen were unable to go on Broad
wav, hence the whole front of Crawford's s
store. including the display windows and all
the show cases in the front part OF the store,
from top to bottom, were badly damaged by
the heat, causing loss of probably $50, 600.
On Franklin avenue, opposite Penny "
Gentles, the whole row from Broadway to
the allev was badly damaged. The firms
occupying these buildings were: o. w.
Heyer, drugs; Ed. F. BOIL, halter: Gleier-
son & Co, hats: Kortham & Co., jewelers.;
ST. Louis Tailoring Company and e. Boel-
mer, iewelry.
Adjoining Crawford's store on Broadway
the following business houses were gutted:
Mcdonald Bros, hats; G. II. Clements,
shoes; Charles Silk, gents furnishing goods
and cloaks; Mrs NJ. Tobin, millinery; E.
Wendell & Co.. New York Millinery Com
pany; E B. Stowe & Co., groceries; Square
Deal Clothing Company and the Weinman
House The guests safely evacuated the
west of Penny & Gentles', the general dry
goods store of Thomas Hudson was dam
aged by smoke and water to the extent of
$50. 900: insured. The total loss will no
doubt exceed 81. .0O0, ,000 The fire burned
itself out at 10 o'clock.
While the downtown fire was burning,
the handsome residence of Captain John A.
a. Scudder. of Vandeventer place, one of
the aristocratic resident portions of the city,
was discovered to be on fire, and it took six
or seven alarms to bring an engine there.
The building was completely gutted, Cap
tain Scudder losing a houseful of costly
000 with insurance about the same.
About 8 o'clock another fire broke out at
the large stationery store of Levison &
Blythe, which intensified the panic of the
forenoon. The flames were soon brought
under control, however, and the loss is COM
parativeIy small.

SEcoNDDAY OF THE FAII.-An auspicious

had ten long years experience in successive
church affairs, and knows more about peo-

opened by Mrs. Sadler, between the
city of Pittsburg and new Southside

last night in favor of the building. At the
flower booth things were booming, and bust
ness WAS greatly augmented by number of
pretty flower girls who carried bouquets
through the halls. The fish pond was as
full of fish yesterday as ever, and good bites
were regular occurrences. A good musical
programme was rendered last night. Miss
Mary Cody, the elocutlonlst gave several
readings and rccitations that received much
applause.

An American Tower at the Elk
position 1,125 Feet High.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-The Stars and Stripes,
it was decided to-day, are to wave 1,125 fest
above ground during the Worlds fair, from
an American tower that will out-Eifel the
Paris tower. The builder is to be Andrew
Carnegie, of Pittsburg. Over 5000 people
viii be accommodated in the tower ut one
time, and two of the manv elevators arc to
start from the ground and run more than
1000 feet up without change or stor, directly
TO the lookout landing. The width OF the
tower at the foundation level is to be 40
feet IN zach direction The Keystone
Bridge company, of Pittsburg. one Of Car
negiess concerns, has agreed to construct
the metal portion of the tower and have it
completed Feb. l. 1893. Ihe actual cost of
the tower is estimated at a million n 4
half. 500. 600 less than the Eiffel tower, the
difference being IN theg greater simplicity in
deEign and the use of standard and
merchantabls sizes of steel. There are to
be three landings. the first 200 feet from the
ground, will accommodate at one time on
the colonnade four or five thousand people.
Inside the colonnade is space sufficient to
build four hotels or restaurants, besides
numerous booths for the sale of different
articles. The second landing is desired as
4 grand promenade in day time and dancing
hall in the evening and will accommodate
5000 people. The upper landing, LOCO
feet from the ground, will accommodate
LOO to 1900 people, and above this there
will be offices for the signal service, scien-
a circular electric railway carrying electric
lights BY night and signals by day. Above
this will be a lighthouse to be provided with
the most powerful reflector ever con-
structed, surmounted by a flagstaff.

Brunswick, Ga, Oct. 16.-Orth Stein,
who ia now living in clover as the guest of
the Young Mems Christian association OF
Atlanta, had a brilliant career in Florida,
inst before coming to Georgia, Walter A.
Wav. Of Orlando, Fla. who was here to-
day, was STEMS attorney when the jour
nalist WAS on trial Tor iosgery;
at the principal hotel in Orlando
"a Ford, Of New York. During tho day
no presented q check payable to Ford
and drawn by Harper Bros, OF New YORK.
The check was eashed and forwarded TO the
New York correspondents OF the orianao
bank. 1t was returned As a forgery. The
arrest, trial and conviction OF Stein fol-
lowed. and he Was sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for five years. He got in the good
rraces of the state officials and WAS par
doned within q year. "A interesting feat
ure of the trial occurred while one or the
Harper brothers, whose evidence convicted
him. was on the stand. Harper had \ num-
Der of checks drawn by him and a number
forged by Stein. Mr.. Way, defending the
prisoner, requested Harper to allow MIN 70
examine the checks, and, taxing them,
mixed them all up and returned them to
Harper, who was unable to distlnRulsn De-
tween the forged II genuine.
Stein told his attorney that he had forged
$40, coo of Harper's paper. do agreed to
r,ay his attorney a handsome fee for his
services. but said he would have to COM
municate with one of his gang, OF whom
there were nine in New York CITY. ne sad
that the members of this gang always
divided their spoils equally and we're sworn
to aid each other when in trouble. One OF
his pals made his appearance In ORLANDO
within : few days, bringing with him
5000 in counterfeit money. The sinful
scamp did not linger long. however.
Stein tried to persuade his attor-
ney to accept some OF inns
money for his fee, assuring him That
it could NOE be detected, and attempted to
have an acquaintance h had access TO
his cell to pass it, but he obtained no ally
among the people of Orlando. While III
Jail he told the reporter of q local paper u
pitiful tale of his poor wife and children,
who we're suffering for him. While lm-
prisoned in Orlando, with only a common
steel pen, and ink made of brickdust and
water, he drew a beautiful Easter card, rep
sentinR a man behind prison bars. with a
sorrowful countenance, resting his head
upon his hand, a seraph ringing Easter
bells, and on a scroll were written lines
which would have done credit to Watts,
beginning:

Panic.
Cn1cAoo, Oct. l6.-"English capitalists,
bankers and financiers are always, very
solicitous about our welfare over here"
said Jay Cooke, Jr., tho Philadelphia
banker at tho Auditorium. mt. Citizen,
Of the London board Of trade, says, ! zee,
that we will have Il financial crisis hero In
the United States by next February. MT.
Clifton need not worry about ~. We are "a
better financial condition to-day that Eng.
land is, and il / am not mistaken there will
be- a financial crisis in England before
there 10 n here.
'The English are 40 fearful about our
welfare. They were equally concerned lest
the tariff should break us all up. II ala not
do 40, aud now they are fretting about the
tion. Mr.. Giffen says we will be CHECKED up
with SILVER, does no? Well. he needn't worry.
All our silver certificates represent 80 many
dollars worth Of morcbantable silver bull
lion that will sell for, as u commodity, the
amount of tho certificates in gold IN any
financial center of the world. MI. Citizen,
in common with others, makes the mistake
of thinking that OF silver certificates rep
resent so many coined dollars. They do
not. They represent bullion.
''rhere is not too much silver, You
haven't got any more silver than you can
use, have you? Neither have i. Nsither
has anybody. We won't choke with silver.
We have millions of grasnbaeks outstand-
ing yet and they don't choke us. Where
did the English send for gold recently
when they were hardup? Why, TO the United
States. And now it is all coming back iu
payment for breadstutfs that England has
to buy from us, and to my thinking Eng
land will find herself i'll a 'crisis' before
they get through sending gold over here.
No, our foreign friends have nc occasion to
lose sleep ~fretting over our financial oon-
dition. There is none of them 30 we'll of.
II think American railway securities will
continue to improve. 1t is being domon-
strated that they are rs a rule able to with
stand any amount almost of financial de-
preston. Thu prices prevailing hitherto
for railroad stocks have been too low and
the market is beginning to approximate the
actual worth of the securities.'
