ANOTHER DAUGHTER GONE.

Cbief-Justice Fuller Losses Another OF
His Numerous Family of Daughters, the
Eldest this Time, by a Marriage Not
Altogether to the Parents Liking.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. - Another
daughter of Melville w. Fuller, chief
Justice, has Just contracted romantic
marriage. 1t is now the oldest daugh-
ter Mary, who, contrary to her par
ents' will, has married Mr.. Colin y.
Manning, son of ex-Gov. Manning, OF
South Carolina.
Young Manning, while in Washing
ton as private secretary to Senator M.
C. Butler, was presented to Miss Fuller
and mutual attachment ensued. De-
spite parental opposition Manning con-
tinued his attentions to Miss Fuller,
who. with the intent to finally settle
the matter, was sent to Berlin to finish
her musical education. Miss Fuller,
| however, constantly corresponded with
| Manning. For some cause Mrs. Fuller
decided to bring her daughter home.
| Soon after her departure from Berlin II
| was learned that Mr.. Manning had alse
| started for abroad.
| The story is further related tha'
| while Mrs. and Miss Fuller were trav
| elling in Italy they were met by young
Manning, who soon persuaded the
young lady to marry him. When ap
prised of the state of affairs, Mrs. Full
Ter was surprised and chagrined, bu
seeing that opposing was of no avail
she reluctantly yielded, bestowing ne
blessing, and soon after attending tn
wedding. She then fastened home
while the young couple have remaine'

TENEMENT HOUSE FIRE.
Great Excitement and Narrow Escape

Great Excitement and Narrow Escape OF
Many of the Tenants of the PerciVaA
Flats I'm New York City.
New YORK, Feb. 2o.-Fhre in the Per-
.ival flats on West Forty-second street,
Yesterday, caused considerable excite
ment for a while, the terror-stricken
tenants leaving everything behind In
their frantic dash for their lives.
While the occupants of the lower
floors were in comparatively little dan
ger, the position of those of the upper
floors was more serious, those who es'
capped by the stairway fighting their
way through the smoke and heat while
those who were driven back sought to
make their escape by the fire escapes.
Ladders were hastily raised and sew
eral women, too frightened or excited
to avail themselves of the fire escapes,
were carried down to the ground by
the firemen. The fire had by this time
assumed proportions which rendered
the fire departments efforts futile.
The rear of the building from the
third floor upward was completely
gutted and the lower floors completely
deluged. The loss of the tenants were
very heavy, many of them losing al
most all of their personal effects The
loss is estimated at $4,000, fully In
sured.

Little Girl to Death.
BELFAST, Feb. 1S.-Mrs. Mary Mon
tague, the woman arrested in Coleralne.
county Londonderry, for the murder OF
her little 3-year-old daughter by the
most inhuman cruelty, is the wife OF
the eldest son of Lord Robert Acneson
Cromie Montague, uncle OF the presens
Duke of Manchester.
Mary Helen, the baby girl who has
inst met with such tragic death, was
horn February S, 1889, and was the only
pirl out of family of eight children
belonging to Lord Robert Montague.
The more hight let in upon the
tragedy. the worse appears the con.
duct of Mrs. Montague. Atthe 1nqnest
she testified to the fact that she forgot
the child in the dark room IN which IL
was SO cruelty tortured to death, ano
that when she went to release 1T from
confinement she found that the little
girl was insensible. Continuing, Mrs
Montague said that she then carried
the child to her own bedroom, stripped
Il of it's clothing and tried to restore i
To consciousness before giving tne
alarm.
That is the story told by the mother
but. rumor has it very strongly thai
the poor child was stripped of its cloth
ing before it was imprisoned and tha
IL was stark naked when found dead
choked and half frozen, by Mrs Mon
tague. It is added that Mrs Mon
tague's treatment of the dead babl
was not an exceptional case, and tina
she was in the habit of ill-using hel
children to a terrible degree.

tensive fire in the history OF Winnipeg oc-
CURED about o'clock this morning, and be-
fore 1t was gotten under control 16 or IS
buildings were totally destroyed. Nearly
three acres are now q mass of smouldering
ruins. The fire started under the stage of
the Princess Opera House and was burning,
it IS supposed, about an hour before dis
covered. 4 theatrical company had been
performing, and the house was locked up
about O'Clock. At o'clock a loud explOs-
ion was heard in the theater, and almost in
stantly the place was filled with flames.
When the fire brigade arrived it was found
that the water works company had closed
down for repairs, and, as the hydrants were
useless. the hose had to be laid to tanks be-
fore the water was turned on the fire. By
that time the Opera House and five or six
stores in the same block were completely
wrapped in flames, and so quickly did the
block burn that not n dollars worth of stuff
was saved. The flames spread with terrible

also attacked the buildings on the opposite
side Of the street. The Salvation Army bar.

ings, as we'll rs six dwellings, Rusco &

everything. The propr1etors of the Opora
House arc heavy loscra. They carried only

are worry heavy, but cannot now be esti-
mated, while tho insurance appears to be
exceedingly light.

A CHURCH DEDICATED.
Tho Fourth Presbyterian Congregation
Moves Into Its New Home.


The Fourth Presbyterian Church, on Eva
line street, East End. was dedicated yester-
day with appropriate ceremonies In the
morning, afternoon and evening. A sermon
was delivered in the morning by Rev II. s.
Holmes of the Shady Avenue Church, another
in the afternoon by Rev. George 7. Purves,
of the First Church, and the services were
closed by the address of Rev. W. ]. Holland,
d. D., Chancellor of the Western University.
All of these services were largely attended.
At each of them an historical sketch of the
church was read by the pastor, Rev. William
z. Schrom, d. D.
The church was organized in 1871 in
Bloomfield and was at first composed
of small congregation. In 1855 the
Mcconnell heirs gave them O plot of
ground on Evaline street, and the little
church then in use was placed on rollers
and moved onto the property. In the fol-
lowing years the building became too small
for the increasing congregation, and during
last year the present church was begun. 1t
is built of frame and is go by 100 feet in di-
mcnsion, and h"s a seating capacity of 600
1t is handsomely fitted inside in hard wood
of that amount Is yet unpaid, but
the debt is by no means burden.
The church is possessed of large pipe
organ and many beautiful stained glass
windows. The one IN the front of the church
was secured through the efforts OF the Sun
day school children, who collected the
money for it.
The congregation now numbers 372 and
the Sunday school $50. The trustees of the
church are W. H. Keech, Dr.. Gale French,
W. F. Bickel, Fred Stonerod, william Rad
cliffe, j. Ross Stcrrett and W. H. Brickell.

DOWN THE OHIO RIVER.

Tbs City Of Pittsburg Makes Its First Sum-
mer Trip and Carries 500 Excursionfsts
A L. g. o. Detective Thought to Have
Been on Board.
With the sunbeams dancing on the waters
of the Monongahela and the Grand Army
Band playing Its sweetest music, the City OF
Pittsburg started on its first Sunday excur-
sion Yesterday afternoon to Rochester. lt
was scheduled to leave the wharf at 2, but IL
was after o'clock before the tuzboat Delta
showed the e1cursionists out into the stream,
and soon the boat was under headway down
the Ohio with 800 people on board.
The party was made up OF people of all
classes and ages, but it was principally
male. Everybody seemed to be in congenial
spirits and from beginning to end there was
not q semblance Of disorder. The boat was
ladies to dance with were engaged in
waltZin9. Those disappointed In this direc-
tton either went into the saloon and nlled
the room with the music of their voices,
gathered around the lunch counter or seated
themselves on the deck to view the pretty
scenery. The sights along the Ohio are
beautiful at this season. The hills on either
side are dotted with blooming fruit trees
and budding shrubbery.
When Shawtown l6 miles below Pittsburg,
was reached it was thought advisable to re-
turn, as the current was so strong it would
have been impossible to have gotten back to
Pittsburg from Rochester. As it was the
boat did not land on the Monongahela
wharf until o'clock
1t is supposed that there was a Law and
Order detective on board. A man was seen
acting in n very suspicious manner and ask
ing for the names OF different people on the
him overheard, but better Judgment pre-
vailed.

NO FAITH IN SHUTDOWNS
Daniel o'Day Says OIL Buyers Are Not De-
ceived by Artificial Stimu alton.


ceived by lrtificiaI stimu'ation.
Daniel ODay, President of the Standard
OIL Company, registered at the Monongahela
House last evening. He expects the Oil
City contingent here in the morning, and he
said blandly that he was in the city on rou-
tine business. "What do you know
about the shutdown movement" he
asked. 81 understand it begins to-day.
1t is q question whether q shutdown does
much good or not. The foreign buyers of Oil
are very shrewd people, and they are not
easily deceived. They have had some eXper-
ience with these movements in the past They
may benefit the market temporarily, but in
the end am afraid they leave the trade in
worse condition than ever You know arti-
fetal stimulation doesn't amount to much.
After all, the oil business is like every other
industry. 1t is regulated by the law of sup
ply and demand. If the supply is low and
the demand great prices will be high and
Russian oil are being shipped to South
America. and the trade is being injured in
that section"
'.Is the Standard still the Standard ?" was
asked.
"Well," replied Mr.. O'Day, "the business
is going on as usual but the trust has been
wiped out entirely. A radical change how
ever, has been made, but people outside OF
the company do not realize 1t. The compa-
nies are still in existence, but our methods
are very different. The Standard is blamed
for everything in the oil business. The
truth is We are held responsible for lots of
things that we don't know any more about
than the man in the moon"

FRIENDLEsS AND DYING.
a Southside Man in Mercy Hospital Whose
Case Is Mysterious.

William Barr was committed to Jail for
five days q week ago last Saturday for
drunkenness by Magistrate Succop. On
reaching the Jail he was found to be suffer
ing from pneumonia, and so badly that he
was removed at once to Mercy Hospital.
The hospital authorities reported last night
that he could not recover, and would prob
ably die before daylight. They stated fur
ther that no friends had visited the man
since he came to the hospital, and as he had
been delirious or unconscious all the time
lie was there they were unable TO learn any
thing about him.
Warden McAleese telephoned to the
Southside police, who said Barr had been
found lying aci oss the railroad track at the
foot of South Sixth street on the night of
his arrest. He seemed drunk and was only
partly dressed. He had given his residence
As South Twenty-seventh street, but the
police had failed to find anyone on that
street who knew him. and if he had any
friends on that side of the river they could
not be found. There is suspicion now that
Barr had escaped from a sick bed, and had
fallen exhauste when arrested instead of
being drunk as at first supposed. Another
attempt to find his friends will be made to-
Iay,
