The Secret OF a Great. Chicago Fire Out
at Last.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Jus5 after the de-
stTnction by IRE of Siegel, Cooper & Co.'S.
grs at department store, the insurance
companies were informed that it was
case of arson and asked to pay $40, 600 for
evidence that would convict the guilty, it
being intimated that the company was
the real culprit. Messrs. Siegel, Cooper s.
Co Immediately caused the arrest OF the
persons who had approached the insur-
anoe men, and preferred the charges of
arson and blackmail against them. A
detective was put on the track and from
the developments there seems little doubt
that Thomas Higgins fired the building
and that his co-conspirat ors were William
Dalton, and one Cunningham. The
scheme was carefully Matched and the
plan was to fire the building and then
swear away the liberty of members of the
company "for a consideration"
One of the Crooks Confesses.
The evidence upon which this statement
is based is the confession of William Dali
ton. He directly charges Higgins with
the crime, and says that the plot was per-
feet ed at several meetings of the conspira-
tors before and after the fire. They called
themselves the Circle of Six" and at the
later meetings story was agreed upon
which each man committed to memory in
order that they might corroborate each
other. 1t was arranged to swear to the
movements of Mr.. Siegel and certain
trusted employees so as to present strong
Giro Imstantial case against them, and It
was through the efforts of the detective
George Washington, a colored secret serv-
ice man, aud reporter named Perkins,
who got into the Circle" that the plot was
not successful in a measure, at least. The
men We're be fore Justice Gieunon yester-
day, and it was testified by Washington
that the oath of the Circle bound each
man to secrecy at the forfeit OF his life.
The case was continued.

drowned. On the morning of July 3,

that he was going to Hartford on bust
ness trip AID would be absent for several
days. He was never seen again. Whaley

with stealing Bible, a clock and a chan

was arrested on a warrant sworn out by
HezeEiah Davis. Sunday last when the
time arrived for Sunday school and the

That Mysterious Gulf Stream.

For years and years the absorptivc
mind Of man has taken the Gulf stream
as an easy explanation of the vngarics
of the weather. That mysterious cur
rent has created cyclones; it has backed
up the winds to the Rocky mountains
and organized tornadocs; it has warmed
Europe, and its recent shifting has
changed the climate OF this land of ours.
These were the theories with which we
pleasantly and ignorantly removed our
meteorological difficulties. In the beau
tiful maps of our physical biographies
we saw the Gulf stream circling around
the body of water from which it takes
it's name, running in wcll-marl1cd
body to the northward and stretching
out its kindly arms toward the United
Kingdom. But now Mr.. J. w. Pcdway
tells in the Forum that there is no
truth in it ut all; that the Gulf stream
never gets into the Gulf; that while very
little is known about it anyway, it is
definitely asccrtained that it does not go
to Europe or anywhere near it.

The Salem Improvement Company,
the most successful organization OF it's

growth OF Salem has been marvellous
About 400 houses havo been built: 81 =

and the business OF the postoflice and
telegraph Office increased 500 per cent.
The iron furnace about to go into blast,
the factories in operation and actually
secured will employ several thousand
hands and insure tho doubling OF tho
present population OF 1000 in another
year.
Negotiations are nearly closed for ad-
ditional plants to employ several thou

The carly extension Of tho Baltimore
and Ohio and the Roanoke and Southern
to Salem will make it an important rail
way center, and hasten it's growth into
large iron, steel and general manufac-
turing and commercial city. Salem and
Roanoke, now rapidly growing together,
are destined to be the great industrial
center of Virginia.
Salem is the most attractive town in
Virginia; and it may we'll be proud of
its SUI passingly beautiful location, its
healthful climate, it's refined society, it's
fine churches. its excellent schools, and

Virginia has ever equalled Salcm's

msnths. The stage of experiment is
passed, and Salem is now firmly estab-
lishcd on 4 solid industrial basis.
This property adjoins tho old town and
is surrounded by the lands of other
strong companies. Being inside prop
crty, it will continue to increase in
value. The Norfolk and Western and
the Dummy Line to Roanoke run
through it and have their passenger
stations on it. The streets have been
graded and the town system of water
