Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 13.-The Ten
nos block went up in blaze tonight.
The fire communicated to other build
ings, and for time a general confagra-
ton was threatened. There was a
scene of wild confusion and horror.
Men jumped from the windows to save
their lives. Several were injured SER
iously. Two lives are supposed to have
been lost.
The fire originated in the front Of
Schmatezerade's store caused by the
explosion of a lamp.
Frank l.. Montverde and John Mig
mold rushed through the flames
to the open air and were
painfully scorched. The flames
licked their way up the
exit from the top stories. Attention
was attracted to cries from the third
story in the rear, which was occupied
by the Young Mems Christian AsSocl-
alton. Several forms were seen at The
windows in the sitting smoke appeal

Two men staid at the windows until
relieved by the hook and ladder brl-
gade. They were almost suffocated.
Two men were seen in the rooms of
the association a few minutes before
the fire broke out. AS there was no
means of escape it is thought they
persisted. The Schmatezerade Stove

London, Nov 13-The Times has
these advices from Rio de Janeiro:
There was heavy firing on Sunday and
Monday of last week by the govern
ment forts on Fort Villegagon. The
interior of the town is intact. Two
men were killed and seven wounded
within the fort. The troops of Castillo
opened a musketry fire on Fort Vile
gagon from a distance of 1000 yards
The insurgent war ship Aquidaban re-
piled with a machine gun, killing or
wounding twenty soldiers and four
spectators. The firing continues night
and day. There is an immense waste
of ammunition. On Wednesday two
guns at Castillo fired on Fort Villega-
gon and the Aquidaban again replied
with the machine guns. Many shells
fell in the business portion of the city
and several persons were injured
There are continual skirmishes at
Nictheroy between the government
troops and the insurgents small craft.
A torpedo launch was sunk on
Wednesday. The casualties have been
slight Some houses we're burned at
Nichteroy.
A conference on Tuesday between
the insurgent leaders resulted in de-
cision to shortly hoist the imperial
flag This action secures the cO-opera-
ton of Admiral Cana. the chief naval
colleague, who carries with him the
sympathy of many adherents of the
army and navy who belong to leading
families. The consequence of this step
is a gain to the insurgents of the
islands of Cobras and Inchadas.

THE ENTRANCE TO THE HOME.
1t Should Be Made Thing of Beauty as
Far as Possible.

Here are some Of the INDISPENSABLE
furnishings for a, hall: A table some
where near the door, and on it a tray
for cards and some sort of a receptacle
for incoming and outgoing letters: an
other table near the end of the hall.
with a hat tree above it, for coats. hats
and the like an umbrella-holder and
a chair for the doubtful person to oc-
cupy While his message is brought up-
stairs.
All these things should be made as
attractive as possible. At least one or
two good pictures should hang from the
walls, and a very charming effect is
obtained when the wall besides the
stairway has various engravings and
|etchings hung at different heights. If
the hall is very long, its dreary and
ImOnotonouS appearance may be cor
rected by broad piece of fret work
fastened across the top The card-tray
land the letter baskets should be as
Ipretty as possible and a great bunch
of bright colored flowers or a green
plant will make the table particularly
attractive. The umbrella-stand NAV
be a piece of blue or green or yellow
pottrey, such as is sold for jardinieres.
and the rather unsightly effect of the
family overcoats and overshoes at the
end of the hall may be remedied by
placing a japanese screen between them
and the entering guests.

EVIDENTLY AMATEURS.
An Abortive Attempt to Rob an Illinois
Train.

Decatur, Ills, Nov 13-An attempt
was made tonight to hold up the Pc
oria, Decatur & Evansville passenger
train due here at 10 p. m. Three men,
masked with handkerchiefs, got on at
the Lincoln coal shaft when the train
pulled out. They started from the
combination car to the express part.
Brakeman George Trot and some pas
sengers tried to stop them. Three
shots were fired by the robbers and
one hit the brakeman in the stomach.
He is expected to die The robbers
left the train at Salt Creek bridge.
They got nothing. Sheriff Hayes, of
Logan, is after them.
Six miles from Lincoln the men pre-
scented revolvers at some passengers in
a coach and demanded money. Brake
man George Trot made q. brave strug-
gle with the robbers, endeavoring to
knock one of them down and over
power him. He succeeded in getting
the better of one, but another shot
him, as stated above, and it is not
thought he can live. The robbers held
the other people in the car in check

THE IDAHO WAGON ROADS.
A Lively Tilt Yesterday Over the Adop-
ton of the Report

Boise, Idaho, Nov. -[Special].-Th
state board of wagon road commission
ers had an exciting session today 1t
came up over the report to the gov
ernor of the work done by the com
mission. The difficulty in floating the
bonds for the construction of the road
was attributed to the stringency caused
by the administration at Washington,
which was arraigned in the strongest
terms. This precipitated heated de-
bate, the Democratic members of the
commission resenting the insult, as
they styled it, in a vigorous manner
and insisting that the matter be
stricken out After a prolonged wran-
gle, by vote of to 2, the report was
adopted as read. The commission will
advertise for bids today. and take the
first steps towards the spending OF the
s1S5, coo appropriation.

SPOOKS AND SPIRITS.
Ghosts of the Wives of Henry VIII at
Hampton Court.

The Psychical society, if it be in
need of any ghosts to lay, should turn
it's attention to Hampton Court Pal
ace 1t is not surprising to learn that.
like every other historical building,
Hampton Court possesses plenty of
ghostly legends, but it differs from all
others in the fact that its ghostly res
idents have not yet succumbed to the
lapse of years, and still keep up mani
festations of their existence. A resi-
dent in the palace informs us that even
today-at this latter end of an unbe-
lieying century-the doors of Hampton
court still open and shut to the touch
of ghostly fingers, and some of the
rooms still resound to ghostly revelry
in the small hours of the morning.
Jana Seymour, it appears, is one of
the most restless of these vagrant
spirits. Her voice is SO often heard that
it has become quite well known to the
living listeners, while her habit of
quilting away pillows from under the
heads of sleepers must go far to en-
sure her a hearing, even among the
least wakeful.
Another of King Henry VIII wives
Annie Boleyn, confines herself appdr-
ently to what is known in theatrical
parlance as walking She, poor lady,

would hardly be more comfortable
for a pillow. Nevertheless,even her
silent protest against the ancient in
Justice of her royal husband has been
sufficient to deprive one of the resi-
dents of today of the services of a
Icook. The good woman was not I'M
willing to oblige-indeed, in her last
Isituation she had carried her COM
plaisance so far as to act as nurse to
la mistress who was inflicted with har-
Iicot veins'-but she protested there
was limit to all things, and not all
the goodwill in the world could induce
her to stay in a place where Ann Boil
llegn walked, and ghosts were so har-
bacious." In fact, the same old story
that has been told of scores of old
houses is told again today of Hampton
Court Figures are distinctly seen to
glide. through walls; locked doors are
lopened; strange noises are heard; and
sleepers are awakened by nightly Wis
litants As a general rule these super
natural phenomena have yielded to a
very simple explanation; but one
wou y be rather curious to know how
|! that explanation would apply to Hamp-
| ton Court, which is hardly likely to
be the home of practical jokes or ne
Ifarious designs.-London Graphic.

TorEKoH's Latest SCHEME.
He Says He Signed the Confession Under
Duress.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-In spite of his
statement that in view of being found
in company with Mrs. Hamilton in a
hotel in this city he would make no
defense before the Chicago Presbytery
to the charges of immoral conduct
with the same woman at Portland and
Tacoma, Rev. w. w. Totheroh, of the
Hyde Park Presbyterian church, APP
peared before the presbytery this
morning in his own defense. He de-
clared he had made no confession
whatever; that he had met Mrs. Ham
iIton at the hotel merely to confer
with her concerning the pending
charges, and that he would continue
the fight. He declared he signed the
alleged confession under duress and
for fear he would be arrested and i'm
prisoned on a criminal charge.
After six hours discussion the Pres
bytery deposed Totheroh, and sus-
pended him from the ministry of the
Ichurch. Both before and after the
result Totheroh denied he was guilty
of the offense charged. He strenuous
ly opposed the reading of the confess
Ision which he signed, still claiming it
was obtained from him under duress

ST. Paul, Nov. 13.-Last night rob
bers attempted to wreck the Omaha
passenger train near Worthington.
The track was so INSTRUCTED as to
throw the train off the track. While
awaiting it's arrival, the robbers held
up, shot and robbed a man who hap
pened to pass. This put the railroad
officials on their guard. They sent a
pilot engine ahead, which found the
track spiked.
The man robbed was a farmer on
his way froEa Worthington, where he
had drawn some money. He was shot
in the leg. No clue to the robbers.
The name of the wounded man is J.
B. Iverson. The railroads are inclined
to doubt the truth of his story and
think it is peculiar.

WORLDS FAIR MEDALS.
Complaint That Their Issuance Has Been

The plan of the treasury officials
contemplates medals of elegant work

five months, as it would necessitate
stamping some of the medals 400 or
500 times, and it does not seem prob
able the work win be completed before

THE M,oLELLAND PoeD MYSTERY.
Murdered and staked Under the Water
by Relatives.

Centralia, Ill, Nov. 1S.-The McClel-
land pond mystery is under investiga-
ton in this city. The general impress
sion is the murders were committed
about twelve years ago and the bodies
buried and staked down in the pond by
relatives of the victims. There is no
doubt of the identity of Alex NIcClel-
land and his son Oscar, who have not
been seen or heard of since 1881.
1t is developing in the investigation
that more than one person was inter-
ested in the crime. A brother of the
deceased senior McClelland, now living
in Oregon. made threats against the
deceased. He owed this brother a
large sum as security for a debt. The
brother left here soon after the de-
