FINE RESIDENCE DESTROYED.

Buzzard's Bay, Mass, April 1.-The
beautiful summer residence Of Joseph
Jefferson, the actor, was totally des-
troyed by fire this afternoon. 1t is
feared that Helen McGrath, the cook,
perished in the flames. Several Of the
help received serious injuries. Mrs
jefferson and other members of the
family, escaped uninjured. The fire
was caused by an explosion Of gas in
the cellar.
Collins the maid, and Miss McGrath
were in the cellar at noon, when Miss
McGrath discovered what she supposed
was water covering the floor. She called
the hired man, Wright, who saw at
once that 1t was oil from the gasoline
tank. He shouted to the women to flee
for their lives, but they stood dumfoun-
ded The gas communicated with the
fire in the furnace and in an instant
there was a terrific explosion. Wright
caught Miss Simmonds and Miss Col
Inns and fought his way to the open air,
He endeavored to return for Miss Nc
Grath when he met with a binding
sheet of flame. Burned and bleeding he
heroically tried to gain an entrance but
could not and the unfortunate woman
was left to perish. Mrs. Jefferson who
was i'll in bed arose and fed, not stop
ping to dress. She suffered severe
nervous shock and medical attendance
was summoned.
The large ard valuable paintings
which were to have been exhibited at
the Worlds Fair were totally destroyed
together with Jefferson's costly collec-
ton of curios. 1t is estimated that $780,
900 worth Of paintings were consumed
and the total loss will be $25O,OOO. jeff
erson is en- route to California.

BIsMARcK,s pIRTHDAY.
Founder of United Germany. Seventy
Eight Years Old.

Eight Years Old.
Berlin, April To-day Is the seventy
eighth birthday Of Prince Bismarck and
number OF Berlin newspapers are
taking advantage OF the occasion TO
publish congratulatory articles. The
National zeitung says the widest cir
cles of the German people remember
with gratitude and reverence the found
er Of the empire and all unite In the
wish that he may be long preserved to
the nation. A band II the Princes ad-
mirers in North Germany assembled in
Tiel early this evening and then pro-
ceeded to Friedrichsruhe to tender con-
gratulations.
The conservatives have been definite
ly thrown over by Rector Ahlwardt the
Jew beater. and libeler. but irrespon-
slble as ever, he pervades the country
venting old scandals with his accus-
toned zest. At Hetting, at a conference
on German thought in conflict with
Jewish thought Ahlwardt developed
to the satisfaction Of his audience the
thesis that all moral and social evils
now affllcting Germany arose from the
Jews. He concluded his address by de-
claring that as soon as the Relchstag
met he would produce proofs Of corrup-
ton under the Bismarck regime and
since Bismarck held Office. a somewhat
similar conference that It was proposed
to hold In Dresden had been forbidden
by the police. Another meeting which is
expected to be monster has been con-
vened in Berlin.
Emperor william has advised the
government to consider exceptional
measures for repressing Ahlwardt who
is at present protected by his member
ship In the reichstag. The emperor
has suggested that action be taken
against him ON the ground that he is a
danger to public morality. II is under
stood. however that the majority OF
the members are unwilling TO interfere
as his repression might convert him in
the eyes Of the anti-semitlcs into
martyr.

nER1Na SEA COMMISSION.
General Foster Wished His Employe
to Appear Flush.

Washington. April 1.-Disclosuree
with regard to the Berlng sea commits
sion still continue to excite surprised
comment. All arrangements for the
representation Of this country at the
conference were made by General
Foster, and evidently with the deter
mination that its staff should not lack
wealth with which to make display.
Looking at 1t in that light there are
some people who are willing to admit
that the ex-secretary had the right
idea, but think he carried 1t to an ex.
treme. For instance, they do not sec
why the paymaster Of the commission.
whose duties occupy no more than
one or two days at the outside in every
month, should have been allowed so
large sum for his expense over and
above his per diem, and army soldery.
In fact, they fail to see why pay
master is necessary at all and his du-
ties could have been just as we'll per-
formed by one of the clerks, or ever
by one OF the commissioners them
selves. Members of the house who ar,
in the city, are outspolxen in their pro-
tests against the extravaganza, which
the investigation Of Secretaries Gresham
and Carlisle have disclosed. There L.
talk of introducing resolution In the
senate for the investigation. This pro.
cedure is discouraged by some, who say
1t is wholly unnecessary in view Of the
fact that the two secretaries are doing
all the investigating necessary, and
when they reach a conclusion they may
be relied upon to act quite as vigorous
ly and fearlessly as any senate com
mittee; moreover there is widespread
feeling Of confidence In Secretary
Gresham's ability to get at the bottom
Of complication Of this kind.
1t is said that Senator Gorham thinks
the senate will adjourn about April
10th. and an extra session of congress
will be called not later than September
18th.

Chicago, April Miss Effiie Clark of
Spokane, Wash, a member Of the fresh
man class of the Northwestern Uni
versity, was tonight shot and instantly
killed by e. Ross Smith, aged 26, until
lately also a resident of Spokane, Smith
after shooting Miss Clark shot himself
in the head inflicting a fatal wound.
The cause of the murder was the re-
fusal of the young lady to entertain
Smiths proposal of marriage. Smith
had been an ardent suitor for the hand
of Miss Clark, but his attentions were
repulsed by her parents and herself,
Smith was so persistent that in final
effort to escape his attentions, Miss
Clark who was nineteen years old, was
sent to the Northwestern University.
Shortly after her arrival in Evanston
Smith put in an appearance and has
been tireless in his attempts town the
young woman for wife. This, evening
he called on Miss Clark and persuaded
her to take walk with him. She was
accompanied by her room mate Miss
Abernethy who was the only witness to
the tragedy. Smith urged his suit again
but without success and tried to get the
young lady away from her companion.
She refused to go till Smith said he
had something to tell her in confidence.
They stepped off o short distance and
Smith at once drew a revolver and
fired five shots at her one bullet enter
ing the left ear and another passing
through the left side. Smith then turned
the weapon against himself and sent a
bullet through his head. Miss Clark was
removed to neighboring house but eX-
pired in affew m1nutes. Smith was TAX
en- to the police station, where before
lapsing into unconsciousness he said:
II shot her She wouldn't marry me,
so I shot her.
The doctors pronounced the young
murderer's case hopeless, though he
may live a few hours.
