At about the time when he was
announced to leave the hotel for the

the next room, and the noise becoming
too pronounced, he opened the con-

about.
He found the old housekeeper in

Then catching sight OF the prince

"Certainly, mother, said the prince,

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The Town of Muskegon, Wisconsin, Almost
Laid in Ruins.

The Town of Muskegon, Wisconsin, Almost
Laid in Ruins.
MUsKEaoN, Wis, May IA terri
BILE fire visited this city early in the
afternoon. Hundreds of people have
been rendered homeless and destitute
with their all swallowed up in the
cruel flames. Women and children
wanner homelessly along the streets.
The fire originated in an old frame
barn belonging to Lamar Hamolln'
and called Hamblin barn. 1t Is STU
ated on the south side of Clay avenue,
between Spring and Pine streets. The
alarm was sent in at 2 o'clock, and
when the fire department came upon
the scene the barn was entirely de-
stroyed. A strong wind from the lake
swept the flames to the south and
other dry frame structures were soon
caught upon them.
The first residence in the vicinity
that became victim to the fire was
that commonly called The Sawdust,"
which is inhabited mostly by a low
class of people This in little while
was completely devastated. At this
point the wind shifted little to the
west and the business portion of Pine
street was made accessible. The Cum
mings house was the first to fall and
all the stores on the east side of the
street were swept away. The fire
crossed over Pine to Wooster avenue
and followed directly across to the
south, leaving but one block behind.
A magnificent residence and the court
house were next to follow. and only
the walls remained. The inmates
of the Jail were conveyed safely out
and imprisoned at the city hall. The
county records were left in the vaults.
When Apple street was reached every
business house on Pine street was in
ruins, with the exception of several at
the north end of the street. AT Court
House square the path of the fire was
widened, making its western terminus
Webster street, with a scope OF two
blocks. An immense wind made it i'm
possible to get the flames under control.
AS a greater part of the buildings
were wooden, everything was favor
able to their awful vengeance. An
appeal for help to outside cities was
promptly responded to, and the fire
men fought heroically but almost use
lessly. Towards 6 o'clock the Ger,
man Lutheran and Terrace Street
Holland churches fell victims. A
number of residences were burned to
complete destruction.
The territory that is now devastated
is eleven blocks long and from one to
two blocks wide. Two unknown chill
dren were reported at the police de.
partment as having persisted in the
fire. 1t is also current that Charley
Stevens, assistant postmaster and Post.
master Stevens son, who was suffering
from pneumonia, died while being
carried out of the house.

Attempted Suicide at Galveston.

GALVESTON, Tex, May ia Ger
man named Karl August Roth, who
was found wandering on the streets in
a wild and excited manner this after
noon, was taken to the police station
here. He gave his name and said he
was from Willow Point, Wise county,
Texas. After talking for about hall
an hour he said he wanted to 90 to
sleep, and was given blanket and a
room in the coop.
In about half an hour he came run
ming out and rushed down stairs, bleed
ing at the throat and from the left
arm. He was quickly recaptured and
brought back, when it was found he
had inflicted an ugly cash in the right
side of the neck and slashed himself
across the left arm with his knife.
He was taken at once to Sealv hos.
pital and his wounds stitched. They
are not fatal, and the physician is of
the opinion that Roth is insane.
Ed Nelson, negro boy, while bath
ing in the bay at the loot of Thirty
seventh street this morning, was

fore assistance could reach him. His
body was recovered tonight.

SCOURGING FROM MAYOR
SHAKESPEARE.
NO WANEDIN NEW ORLEANS
A Terrible Fire in Wisconsin, Almost
DESTROYING the Town of Muske-

aware, Etc.

NEW ORLEANS, May II. Mayor
Shakespeare has addressed the follow
ing letter to Gov. Nichols;
'Mayoralty of New Orleans, City
Hall, May 16, l89l.-To His Excellency,
Francis T. Nichols, governor of Louis
lana, Governor: Under date of May
6. 1891, the consul of Italy at this port,
p. Corte, saw fit to address to w. N.
Chaffe, foreman of the grand jury
then in session, very remarkable
letter. On the evening of the day on
which it was written the consul sent
copies of the letter by the hands of his
secretary to the daily papers for publ
cation. / enclose a printed copy of
that letter. Your excellency being
resident in New Orleans is fully aware
of the fact that ever since the assassi-
nation of Superintendent of Police
Hennessy on October 10th, 1890,
the papers have teemed with
all manner of vaporings from P. Corte
in the shape of interviews, etc. For
these reported sayings he could not
properly be held officially responsible,
and since he was scarcely credited with
one statement before another was
made either exactly opposite of or
largely qualifying the first, his vag-
aries and blusterlngs were regarded by
all but his own people as either laugh
able or contemplate. This letter of
May 6, known to the foreman of the
grand jury and very properly returned
by that body to the writer as being
impairment, and besides being i'm
pertinent, contains statements abso-
lutely false and, beyond question,
known to be false by Corte.
If as Italian Consul Corte has ever
had any usefulness he has outlived it,
and has become through his own acts
not only an unacceptable person, but
an element of danger to this commu-
nifty, in that by his utterances he in
cites his inflammable people to riot or
sullen opposition to the laws and GUS
toms of our country, which they have
sought as an asylum. Being a deposi-
tory as he confesses himself to be of
criminal secrets relating to individuals
of his race resident among us, he re-
fuses to give to the department of po-
lice and justice information he has,
and thereby increases the danger
to the community from these crimi
nails. For these reasons l have the
honor to request that you ask of the
honorable secretary Of state at Wash
ington the recall of Consul COrte's ex
equatur by the president. This appli-
cation would have been made to you
sooner but for the reason that | de-
sire to place in your hands to accom-
pany your note to the secretary
of state the report made to the
mayor and council by the committee

leave to call attention to that part of
it relating to Corte. have the honor
to be your obedient servant,

DISHONESTY IN OFFICIAL POSITION.

Peculations in public life, raids upon
treasures, stealings of the peoples
money, defalcations, robberies and EN-
bezzlements of bank presidents and
cashiers, and other like crimes, which
might be called almost epidemic, APP
pear to be part of the sediment leit
by the tide of general Generalization
that swept over the country at the
close of the Civil War. Such crimes
do not appear to arouse the popular
scorn and denunciation they once did.
If the culprit has made big haul and
stolen enough with which to defeat
the Nemesis of outraged justice, should
that female pursue him, he has no
difficulty in finding apologists and
sympathizers.
Even in the case of Gen. Raum's
son in the pension office, although the
corruption may be more remarkable
for quality than amount, plenty OF
people will be found to excuse his ras-
cality.
But it is about time for the people
of this country to cease sympathizlng
with this sort of crime, or condoning
with the rascals who have no scruples
in plunderinR public funds whenever
they get their hands into the treas
uries of the people.
There is elias Of men in Office and
out of it who are constitutionally
thieves All they want is the oppor-
tunity. Happily, there is a way to
force such people to be honest. Sur
round them with heavy penalties, re-
strain them with view of justice;
prompt, swift, certain. Land them in
the penitentiary for long terms; pun
ish them with a severity that will
frighten and deter others. In China
a defaulter or bank embezzler has his
head chopped off. We might not go
that far in this country, but let such
fellows as Raum, Jr., who sold posi-
tions in the department and pocketed
$72 out of letter, be relentlessly pun
ished. That is the only way to stop
such rascality. Why cannot our pub
lie officials be as honest and as safe, as
honorable, above the low arts of cor
ruption which disgrace the Federal
and occasionally the state governments
of this country, as in the English gov
ernment2 1t is because here we white
wash our scoundrels; there they send
them to the galleys or the chain gang,
even il it is lord.

Messrs. Whittle, Makemson and

in regard to putting in necessary
switches for the accommodation OF
troops and baggage at the encamp-

enough to secure its location at this
place.
Late Saturday afternoon, ex-Sheriff
Cornell drove up to the residence of a
colored man to interview him in regard
to some work. Receiving more sass
from the negro than was palatable
Mr.. Council whacked him over the
head with a shot gun. The negro
rushed into the house for a pistol. but
MIR. Connell being much pressed for
time, drove rapidly away. A few
bruises, more or less blood and a great
deal of excitement was the only re-
suit.
