But his colleagues are disposed to with

The fact that Miss Pollard's attorneys,
Judge jeremiah Wilson and Mr. Caldcron

members OF the bar of Washington, causes
many to believe that there is nothing Oh

Hon. Jeremiah Wilson is an eX-membar
of congress- from Indiana who has prac-
ticcd law most successfully since bis re-
fremont from political life. On the one side

in gold coin consigned to Chicago. was
wrecked here at Fourth street last night ut

nut Terminal Belt line. The third car
which contained the coin was burst open
and the treasure partly thrown out and
scattered in the middle of the highway

FIVE WE'RE KILLED
And Number of Others Badly Injured at
Hotel Fire.

Chicago, August IA hotel fire, re-
Buting in the death of Il number Of the
guests, occurred this morning. The fire
was in the Senate hotel, Il three-story
structure on Madison street near Fifth
avenue. One man jumped from window
in the top story and was killed. About
half a dozen others were suffocated and
burned to death. Loss on the building and
contents is practically teal, but as the
structure was old and the furnishings cheap
the amount will not exceed few thousand
dollars. restaurant occupied the ground
floor and the Senate hotel the two upper
ones. 1t contained thirtysx rooms and
held thirty guests when the fire broke out
shortly fter 6 o'clock this morning. The
rooms were separated by tmsy wooden
partitions and proved first-class food for
fire.
The blaze started in the office on the
second floor and spread SO rapidly through
the halls and the upper rooms that it could
not be checked Before the guests could
be warned the flames had cut off their
escape from the stairway and they were
caught like rats in a trap.
The fire is said to have started from
an overturned stair lamp. In all five
people were killed and three others were
badly injured that they can scarcely re-
cover.

THE fire was one of the most horrible
I have witnessed in all my experience in

Marshal Muscham, after he returned from
the scene Of the accident. At O'Clock in
the morning, with the streets alive with
people, and on one of the principal streets
of the city, it seems incredible that so
many persons could lose their lives. Had
there been any fire escapes on the building
the loss would not have been so great.
But the law does not require that fire es

than four stories in height.
