LEGAL PROBLEM.

Mineral Range Express Robbers Likely 90
Get on Easy-Lawyers In Quandary.
/. MARQUETTE, Mich, Oct. 19.-In the
ease of Dominick Hogan, Edward Ho-
gan, George La Liberty and others, ac-
cused of the Mineral Range express
robbery, the prosecution is in guam
dary. The case will be called for trial
IN about two weeks, meanwhile the
prosecution will have TO solve very
delicate legal problem or forego the
hope of convicting all Of the five men
at present under arrest The specific
charge against the five prisoners is
robbery. Robbery is defined as the
theft of property by means Of force or
threats Of violence TO the custodian or
owner thereof. Fear is made an essen
tial element of robbery, thus implying
that the person or persons in charge Of
the property must be put in fear of
death or great bodily injury. The
maximum penalty in Michigan is Inn
prisonment at hard labor for life.
Dominick Hogan was the agent OF
the express company, and the $4,000
stolen was in his charge. II he was
compelled by fear TO relinquish posses
sion Of the money, he was robbed, and
was not himself the robber. On tho
other hand, II he was, as charged, a
party TO the theft, and feared no in
jury, then no highway robbery was
committed, and none of the prisoners
can be convicted of more serious Of
fense than larceny, the maximum PEN
atty for which is Imprisonment for FIVE
years. Therefore, to secure convic-
tion OF any OF the accused on the
charge preferred, the prosecution must
itself prove the innocence of Dominick
Hogan, whom 1t has caused to be
thrown into Jail, and whose reputation
II has ruined for life.

A COSTLY BLAZE.

9irO n Now York Destroys Over Three
Million Dollars' Worth OF ProPerty-Bsv-
eral Factories Are Consumed.
New YORK, Oct 1e.-one of the most
destructive fires this city has seen since
the great fire Of 1858, occurred last
evening. The fire extended from 81.
Raphaeps Roman Catholic church on
Fortieth street west to Tenth avenue,
to the north side Of Forty-second street
The loss will amount well up into the
millions. The fire was discovered at
S:1o p. M, by watchman employed BY
William Campbell 81 Co, wholesale
manufacturers of wall paper at S19 to
blS West Forty-second street. The fire
started In the boiler house and had
gained great headway before 1t was
discovered. 1t spread to the adjoining
building occupied by Nevins & Havi-
land, also wall paper manufacturers
Both firms were entirely burned out.
The glare Of the conAagration illu-
minated the whole city. Factories,
tenement houses and private dwellings
were burned to the ground and the ef-
forts Of the fremsn were directed early
to preventing the spread Of the fire
over still larger territory. The fire
originated IN the engine room of Camp
bell & Co., manufacturers of fine wall
paper. Sexton, the watchman, who
discovered the fire, ran for a fire alarm
box and sent In an alarm. He then ran
back to the building to warn four other
men who were working there. He fell
In the hallway overcome by smoke and
policemen pulled him into the street,
where he soon revived. In twinkling
the whole building was In flames, for
Its infiammable contents proved the
readiest kind Of fuel, while a strong
breeze helped to fan the blaze.
Within half an hour after the fire
started 1t had licked up all the houses
between the two large factories and
the Nevins & Haviland building was
ablaze. 1t burned like tinder and there
was no hope Of saving 1t from the very
Arst The Campbell factory extended
back to Forty-frst street and before
the firemen fully appreciated the stu
alton other buildings on Forty-frst
street had taken fire. The walls Of the
factory and the lofty tower with its
clock toppled over in successive crashes
and loud explosions of burning chemi-
calls sent sparks flying In every direc-
tion. The walls Of the Nevins & Hav-
iland factory fell one after another
shortly after the Campbell factory had
gone down. On the west side Of the
Campbell works was a row Of private
dwellings, occupied by F. N. Buskirl,
Arthur Short, Mrs. MCGUIRE and Mrs
Crenin respectively. All were COM
pletely destroyed, save the two last
named.
When the fire started there was in
the Campbell factory four men who
were working overtime. They were
Richard Stefers, James Bambrick, John
Brill and a man whose name is not
known. Whether they escaped with
their lives is not known.
The aggregate losses are placed at
sS,50o,0OO, of which Mr.. Campbell says
his loss is fully So, 900, 900.

Eleeting Justice Of the Peace.

1t appears that no provision is made for
vacancies occurring after the November
election and prior TO the election in April,
1894; consequently, successors TO the jus.
tices of the peace, whose terms expire be-
tween the dates above mentioned, should
be elected at the coming November cleo
tion. All justices, however, whose terms
expire within twelve months following the
first day Of April, 1894, under the new
law, will be required to be elected at the
April election.
The law provides that when a justice of
the peace is elected he must appear and
be sworn into Office within ten days after
his election. Now, for instance, the term
Of a justice should expire January /, 1894,

AN AGED QUARTET.
Four Brothers, Whose Ages Average Over
80 years, Meet In Sherwood, Mich.


Four Brothers, Whose Ages Average Over
so years, Meet in Sherwood, Mich.
A pleasant occurrence was the meeting
of the four Wilcox brothers at the home
of G. W. Fulton, on Tuesday. These gen.
tlemen are sons Of Isaac Wilcox, formerly
of Portage county, Ohio. He was one Of
the pioneers of Ohio, experiencing many
hardships and vicissitudes incident to the
lives of early settlers. In the year 1903
he with his family emigrated FROM Con-
nec,icut to Ohio, their journey being made
with an OK team and cart over the ALE.
CLANCY mountains, the journey occupying
fortytwo days. His family consisted OF
wife and five children, of whom the young
est, o. i. Wilcox, was but six months OF
age.
One incident related by them In talking
of their parents journey TO Ohio. was re-
garding the faithful old boyine, which was
necessary adjunct TO their outfit in settl-
ing in new country. The cow was
hitched to the rear of the cart, end one
night during severe wind storm, while
they were all in the cart, the wind blew a
tree down near them, which struck the
COW, breaking of both Of her horns, but
strange to say, in no way injuring any OF
the family. The COW escaped and after n
long search was found and brought back
and the rope tied around her neck in ord.
er to secure her again TO the cart
The father of the family died in the
year a647, aged Gs years. Of the family
of sixteen children these four are left to
reach their four score years and over. o.
E., the eldest, is now IS years OF age and
has been farmer all his life, coming to
Sherwood from Kent, Ohio, about seven
years ago, settling on the farm on which
he now lives.
Il is The custom OF the four Wilcox
brothers still living TO reune each year.
About twentyfour guests were in attend
ance this year, fourteen Of whose ages
averaged over n years; six that averaged
Sc years and four that averaged over SS
years. The guests were entertained by
several choice selections on the organ by
Miss Minnie Wilcox, of Homer, and Mrs
E. E. Firestone, and "Bonapaa,e Crossing
the Alps" on the flute by Cyrus c. Wilcox,
OF st. Johns, Mich.
After dinner, f. X. Wilcox, in few
well-chosen remarks, presented the host
and hostess with photograph of the four
Wilcox brothers. A vote was then taken
and all agreed, kind providence permit.
ing, to meet again at Hotel Merrill one
year hence; after which all repaired 10
the parlor and listened TO few selections
on the violin by Chas. Bathrick, the violin
used being one of his own manufacture.
Mr.. Bathrick has crossed his S4th mile
stone, but still possesses the skill required
to swing bow in the proper way to make
delightful music. Messrs, U. Z. and Cyrus
G. Wilcox, aged S5 and 50 years respect

tions on the flute, which were enjoyed i'm.
