STANFORD, April A.-The handsome summer
residence of DR.. ]. A Hinkley, a wealthy New
Yorker, located on Hubbard Hill, suburb Of
this town, was almost wholly destroyed by fire
this afternoon. The flames broke out before 8
and O'Clock while a gang of painters were at
work in the house cleaning the walls. DR.. Hink-
painted and overhauled for this summer. A gang
OF painters employed by John A. Scofleld Of this
town were removing the old paint on the walls

In some way which cannot be explained by the
workmen the woodwork caught fire In the attic,
and In a few moments the fire was beyond
their control. The fremen from this town
could do but little to check the flames,
as there was but little water in the
vicinity. Fire wells near by were pumped dry,
but with little effect on the fire. The firemen,
with the assistance OF volunteers, however, sue
cesdea In saving much OF the valuable furniture
in the house. number of valuable paintings,
reputed to be worth several thousand dollars, as
well as much valuable furniture in the attic, was
lost The upper part Of the house was almost
entirely destroyed and the remainder badly
damaged. The loss ON the building will
be about $4,000, fully insured. The loss on
the paintings is mot known. The news of the
mis- mother and sister in New York notified. 1t
Is probable that owing to the origin of the fire
that the Insurance. companies will refuse to pay
the loss. An agent of one OF the companies In
volved tonight stated that his company would
undoubtedly fight it. According to q recent de-
cision in the supreme court of New Hampshire
in q similar case the companies were held not
liable as the method OF removing the paint was
adjudged not a safe one and the fire was due to
the carelessness OF the painters. The house was
to be ready for occupancy by the middle OF

The Managers OF the worlds Fair
Promise to Have Everything I'm
Shape for tho Opening Next Mon
day.
CHICAGO, April 24.-To day marked the
beginning of the last week before the
opening of the worlds fair, and notwith-
standing the serious delay occasioned by
the bad weather of last week, the man
ayers are promising to have things In pre-
sentable shape by next Monday. Under
no circumstances will the opening be post
poned. 1t WAS said this afternoon that
with sunshine. little higher temperature
and.an army of $4,000 or 5000, wonders
may be accomplished in a week. What
now seems to be a hopeless chaos of mud
and building debris can be transformed
into beautiful garden. The roadways
can be cleaned up and made passable, the
waste acres turned into green lawns and
every unsightly vestige of two years of
toll removed. ALI this and more will be
accomplished provided the weather holds
good.
AS to the interior work of the fair, the
outlook is not quite 30 hopeful. No one
will now pretend to say that the great show
will be entirely complete by the 1st of
May. Installation of exhibits may go on
day and night and yet much will remain
to be done a week hence. 1t is physical
impossibility to get everything in readiness
in the short time remaining. For this the
exhibitors themselves are chiefly to blame.
They have in many instances delayed their
part of the work until the very last moment
and 30 find themselves behind the process
sion.
The action of the carpenters union in
declaring q strike for to day had no visi-
BILE effect at the fair grounds. This morn
ing the usual force of carpenters was at
work, and none had struck, and so far as
could be learned no orders had been issued
to the men working there to 60 out.
Among the men there seemed to be a
feeling of dissatisfaction at the action
taken by the meeting last night in declar-
ing general strike.

DIR. BUCHANAH,S TRIAL.

Lawyer Brooke Made an Able and
Eloquent Plea in Behalf of the Ac-
cused.
NEW YORK, April 24.-The case for DR..
Robert W. Buchanan was summed up this
morning by his counsel, Charles W. Brooke,
before Recorder Smythe In the court of
general sessions. Mr.. Brooke began speak
ing at about 1890 O'Clock.
The first part of his speech was devoted
to painting a picture of the early life of DR..
Buchanan, his struggles to obtain a pro-
fession, his 6rst marriage, his happiness
for time, and then the bitter dissppoint-
ment of the discoveries leading to the d.
vorce. He pictured Buchanan as at this
peculiarly susceptible moment of his life
falling under the influence of woman who
professed love for him, treated him with
great kindness and deliberately led him on
to make her his wife. This woman, the
woman whom he is charged with having
poisoned, although of a bad life and char
acter, was not as such known to him, nor
was 1t until after his marriage that he dis
covered how she had deceived him. Like
a sensible man, Buchanan then determined
to make the most of the situation. He
treated his wife kindly, always spoke of her
with respect as q good woman, secluded
himself from the world on account of the
sensitiveness due to his knowledge of his
wife's past and devoted himself to his prsc-
tice.
Mr.. Brooke then described the incidents
of the first day of Mrs. Buchanan's Illness
He laid stress upon the fact that as soon
as Mrs. Buchanan became i'll DR.. Buchanan
called in two physicians and employed a
nurse. This, Mr.. Brooke concluded, was
not the act of poisoner. Nor would DR..
Buchanan have chosen as the moment for
administering the poison the very moment
when he was expecting the jast-employed
nurse to enter the room. Mr.. Brooke also
calling in clergyman as in his favor and
against the theory of poisoning. To tho
same effect was the personal attention
given by him to the details of the funeral,
and especially in mis- favor was the fact
that he had her body embalmed-thus pre-
serving the evidences of his guilt.
Mr.. Brooke attributed much to his
clients lack of moral force and insensitive-
ness of nature. His levity and dissipation
Immediately after the funeral of HE wife
was explained on the ground of the habit
of dissipation which led men to drink be-
cause they were happy, because they were
miserable, because of any incident arising
in their lives. Mr.. Brooke denounced the
witness Smith In strong language and pro-
nounced the witness Macomber 1.-The most
ingenious perjurer he had seen in career
of thirty five years." He commended that
If the pathological reports raised a reason
able presumption that there might have
been some other cause of death than the
alleged poisoning, there the jury's consid-
Grafton of the case must end. Such doubt,
he maintained, was established.
Mr.. Brooke made an clog uent and able
plea for his client It was $50 o'clock be-
fore he finished, having spoken for seven
hours.
Tomorrow District Attorney Nicoll will
sum up for the prosecution, and 1t is ex-
pected the case will go to the jury in the
