COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 26.-The most dis
astrous fire Columbus has ever expe-
rienced occurred this morning. A small
blaze started in a large brick building,
on the corner OF Rich and High streets,
and it was soon destroyed, to-
gether with its valuable contents. BY
noon the entire block, from Rich street
to Walnut and from High to Wall, was
destroyed. The Metropolitan opera
house building, occupied by Godman's
leather store and shoe factory and the
opera house, was next to burn. The
large force of women employed in the
building had a narrow escape from
death. They were driven from the
building by the flames before they could
save anything. Ladders and fire escapes
were their avenues of reaching the
ground.
When the fire was burning in the
opera house block, woman appeared
at the fourth-story window and started
to descend by way of the fire escape.
She became bewildered and turned back,
disappearing within, and was not seen
again. Awoman and child on the same
floor were saved by fremen, who rushed
through the flames.
The total loss is over $3.50, 900 partially
insured. Among the number of heavier
losers were the following: The Gazette
Printing company, loss $4,000, insur-
ance the same; Daily Express Ca Ger
man daily, loss $4,000, insurance $500
Goldman & Co., $4,000, insurance un-
known; Isaac Eberly, Metropolitan
opera bouse building, $4,000, insur-
ance 100000; wholesale liquor house
of Steinhauser, loss $4,000, no insur-
ance; Staley & Norton's dry goods store,
probably $4,000; Siebert & Liley,
book-binders, loss $4,000, insurance
10000. There were numerous offices
throughout the building that lose every
thing. The opera house was to have
been occupied by Modjeska this evening.
The opera house building is total
wreck. 1t is impossible to get COM
plete list of the losses and Insurance,
but it is now thought the losses will be
about half million, with insurance OF
$500, 900. 1t is learned that all the oc-
cupants of the building were rescued.

THE ANARCHISTS. APPEAL.
General Ben Butler Takes Up Cudgel

General Ben Butler Takes Up Cudgels
for Fielden and Schwab.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-General But
Ter today closed his argument before the
United States supreme court on behalf
of Anarchists Fielden and Schwab.
The better part of General Buffers
argument was on the same lines laid
down by Saloman. The general dwelt,
however, upon the effect treaties had
upon the rights of men to have whole
case reviewed by the supreme conrt, and
in this respect his talk was on new
ground. The general admitted that his
clients, because they were for
eign subjects, had no greater
rights than Americans, except that
that fact under the treaties gave
them the right to have the case passed
upon by the United States courts, and
in this way there was created federal
jurisdiction over all the doings of the
state supreme court, which showed that
the men were present when its Judgment
was pronounced, when in fact they were
not bodily present. He argued that in
this way the question was presented for
review here, whether or not the absence
of the men constituted a violation of
that due process of law guaranteed by
the constitution.

that the affairs of the American Build

be wound up. This is one of the largest
building associations in the country,
having assets alleged to reach $11 ,O0O,-

the assessed valuation Of the property.

W,Tu A Converts WIFE.-The scan

WITH CoNyIcT's WIFE.-The scan
dal about the Rev, James A. Trifiitt,
chaplain of the Ohio penitentiary, has
grown to such an extent that Warden
James has brought it before the board
of managers, who are now in session in
Columbus, for its investigation.
Chaplain Triilitt lives at 545 Kilbourne
street, and his wife has been away at
her parents home for two months or
more. The scandal grows out of the
alleged visit of the wife OF convict to
the Triflitt home.
Mrs. William c. Shepherd, who re-
sides at 544 Kilbourne street, was seen
at her home "Wednesday morning by
reporter, to whom she made this state
ment:
"The first time / noticed anything
wrong at the Trifitt residence was the
night before Memorial Day. l was IN
my room, the windows of which are di-
rectly opposite and on level with
those of Mr.. Triflitt. | looked across
the street and saw him with woman.
The shutters were closed, the movable
Stats being open, but a bright light was
burning in the room. ] have since seen
The same woman enter his house at diff
ferent hours during the day and night.
"When my husband and retired ON
Sunday night I opened the shutters and
raised the blinds on the front windows
ofmv room. Iawoke about $50 o'clock
Monday morning, and as soon as L got
up looked out of the window to see If
any of the neighbors were astir. When
looked out the first object to attract
my attention was in the room OF Mr..
Trifit. / called my husbands atten-
ton to what I had observed. My hus-
band called to Mr.. Triiiit to pull down
the blinds
son another occasion l saw Mr.. Trif-
fit give the same woman some money at
the corner of Spruce and Kilbourne
streets"
Mrs. Shepherd describes the woman
she saw as being well dressed and at
tractive. On one occasion, Mrs. Shep-
herd says, the woman came to the house
about o'clock in the afternoon during
a heavy rain, and Mr.. Trifiit opened the
door for her. Mrs. Shepherds husband
corroborates her in every particular.
Chaplain Trilfit has sent in his resig-
nation to the board of managers of the
penitentiary, and it has been accepted.
This move on his part is looked on as
virtual acknowledgment Of the truth OF
the charges against him.
