These have been lacking in Our relation tC

hotel and saloon were in flames. The
fire broke out in the depot ana caught
from an engine used there for pumping
water All the buildings mentioned were
almost destroyed. a strong wind was
bloning at the time, and there being o
IRE appliances it was impossible To pre-
vent the spread Of the flames. The hotel
was owned by B. F. Tllton of Green VAL
ley and was valued at about $4,000, upon
which there is an insurance OF $3.50. The
saloon was owned by the estate of the
late j. NJ. RoHey of this city. and was
valued at $1,000. It carried small insur-
ance. The loss On the iruit-dryer will be
$1,000 and on the depot about $500. The
fire at the depot was so violent that pass
ing train had TO run through the town at
full speed to prevent it catching fire and
the cars were badly se0rched. Great ex-
element prevailed IN the little town during
the coH1agratioD. Some of the furniture
in the hotel was saved. but most Of the
contents is total loss.

Special 70 THE HoRSISs CALL.

VICTORIA, B. c., June 2. - Coroner
Hasen was this afternoon called upon to
hold an inquest upon the body OF Andrew
Kirk. whose brother, James, constructor
and superintendent, of the Esquimalt
Water Works, supplying the Royal Navy
yard and West Victoria, committed suicide
last Thursday. The circumstances Of to-
days tragedy differed only in the manner
of death chosen. James cut his throat
with single stroke Of a razor. while An
drew used a revolver with immediate and
deadly effect
In James case the jury sought in vain
for a motive and was finally forced TO the
conclusion that the suicide was COM
United in an agony of pain. James being
troubled with rheumatism. Andrew, how
ever. was well. except for a detormity of
one Of his legs, of which he complained
but little. Both suicides were committed In
the coolest possible manner. neither OF the
brothers giving any hint Of their troubles
and both looking into mirror in the
same bedroom as they ended their lives.
Mrs. Andrew Kirk, who has only been
married about two years, had been talk
ing to her husband only a few minutes
before he fred the death shot and heard
the report as well as the fall Of her hus-
bands body from the chair in which be
had seated himself. She ran IN and imme
diately realized the facts of the case-that
she was widow. She started for the near
est neigh Dor, but fell twice on the way and
when she did arrive talked so incoherently
that it was thought she had gone mad. She
is still in q dangerous condition. but il is
thought that her affection is only tenn
porarY, caused by the terrible events OF
the last few days.
In the absence Of any other light Of ex-
PLANTATION the doctors are inclined to think
that both suicides were due 10 suicidal
mania or inherited insanity, though those
who knew the Kinks cannot be brought to
accept the latter suggestion readily. The
body Of Andrew Kirk viii be buried be-
side that Of his bIother Sunday.

Special to The MoESIse CALL

CHICAGO, June 2-There was reign Of
terror to-day along the route of the drain
age canal between Lamont and Romeo.
There has been trouble brewing for some
little time past. the quarrymen employed
near the line Of the canal being dissatisfied
with the rate OF wages paid them, and to-
day 400 of them in one OF the upper quar-
ries went on strike in body.
Aiming themselves with clubs and re-
velYers, they march ed from one quarry to
another, gaining additions to their ranks
at every stopping-plaee. As matter Of
fact this Was to have been expected The
strikers who started out in the first place
were desperate and reckless. the worst OF
the lot on the work, and not only were
they joined by others as bad as themselves
but they literally compelled men of the
better sort to arm themselves and join the
march also.
Sull gaining strength in numbers they
went marching along the line Of the canal.
stopping at every saloon on the way until
they were literally crazed by bad liquor
and by the infammatory speeches OF
leaders madden than the maddest among
them.
Finally they left the line and rushed
upon the nearest camp of the contractors
OF the drainage canal. Camp after camp
was visited; and in each the men were
driven from their work. and, where they
resisted, they were assaulted by the
iured. and it is thought that one, James
Powderly. will die.
The rioters encountered really serious
opposition until they reached the camp of
the Mccormick Construction Company.
Here they were met by G. Mccormick
himself. who stood boldly in front of the
menacing mob and told them not to do any
damage to his property. Thereupon the
frenZied men made a rush at him and
some of them began hurting rocks at him,
the upshot being that Mccormick was
compelled 10 retreat.
He came back, however, and he brought
Winchester rife with him. Then there
was wild scramble on the part of the
mob. The drunken men were falling over
each other to get out OF the way. all of
their bravery having evaporated. McCor-
mick's men, however, all quit work.
At Mason, Hagan 81 Kings camp they
struck and wounded Peter King, brother
Of the contractor.
a freight train on the Santa Fe killed
one of the strikers. who was on the track
near Romeo.
The strikers number about 1000 men,
1900 Of them being employed on the drain
ing canal proper. The cause of the strike
is that the stone companies reduced wages
from 1S1s cents to Is cents per hour.
The strike also extends to Joliet, where
from 300 to 400 men are out because of the
same reduction. The drain age contractors
are unable TO learn why a strike has been
ordered on them, as there has been no
reduction in wages.

sides small failure panicky bearish
feeling prevailed TO such an extent that
selling was probably much overdone. The
market started with rebound of q cent
from last night. July sold at 69K cen Is
aud September at 1915 cents. Then began
the selling and tumbling. The early ad-
vance had been wiped out when Manager
Powell posted the firm of Kellogg & For
syth as not meeting their debit balance.
The firm is small one and the failure
Insignificant, but the fear that other small
failures might follow made the trade un-
duly excited. The decline went on till
June touched 66 cents, price never be-
fore reached In this market. July was
66H cents and September Tx cents.
There was less than a quarter of a cent re-
covery at the close. One Of the weakest
factors in the situation was sharp break
in local securities on the exchange. The
aggregate depreciation since May is very
close to S25. 600, 600

Officers of the Chase National Are
Somewhat Severe Upon the Col
Iapsed Tacoma Concern.
Special to THE MoRs1se CALL.

| NEW YORK, June I'm regard to the
closing of the Merchants National Bank
st Tacoma, Wash, President Cannon of
the Chase National Bank says: sit is not
| true, as stated, the bank was closed on
/ our account. That statement is doubtless
given out as an excuse. We are in no
sense responsible for the failure and made
no Geographic demand on them.
THE only connection we had with them
was that of making them advances, for
which we received ample collateral secur-
! ity. About one week ago they made
drafts on Us covering an increase of the
amount we had advanced them. This was
done without consulting us as TO our will
| ingness to increase the loan and we natur-
ally refused TO honor the draft.
I'VE saw no reason TO carry a bank so
far West for so large an amount as they
wanted. l suppose when they found their
drafts and bills thrown out here they
failed to raise the money needed TO take
them up, and were forced to suspend. Our
action was perfectly proper, and the
causes Of the failure can in no sense be
lad at our doors. Like most Western
banks in rapidly growing and s0-called
boom town the bank was doubtless loaded
up with local paper, more than it could
| carry in tight market"

ness that prevailed in financial affairs

Chase National Bank wired a peremptory
demand for settlement"
Bennett further says: 1.-THE Chase Ma
tonal Bank had been our correspondent
for years and had recently advanced about
$4,000 on specific loan, covered with
ample security as per contract. For some
unaccUuntabe reason the Chase National
Bank people have seen fit to appropriate
each and every remittance we made them
since May q on the loan account and re-
fused payment of our checks without even
notice to US of their intention to msap-
propriate our funds l desire to say that
the Chase National Bank by this dis
courteous treatment, which, if legal, is

In binding the girl over, announced that

The Reason Why Devout Lady Lost
a Board Bill,

SAN BERNARDINo, June 2-P. d.
Thatcher was tried in Justice Felter's
court yesterday afternoon on a charge of
attempting to beat Mrs. A. c. White ont
of a board bill. The lady claimed that
Thatcher owed her over 500, and charged
that lie intended TO leave the State.
Thatcher denied that he owed the amount
named, claiming that be was in the habit
of paying the money due for his board to a
third party who told him that he always
turned it over to the landlady. He ex-
planned that the reason for this roundabout
procedure was that the andlaiy had a
habit of remarking, THANK God for that"
whenever he paid her any mouey and that
annoyed him. The Justice took the
Thatcher view of the case, and this morn
ing Thatcher left hesitate and Mrs White
without settling the accourt.
