FIRE IN TROY.
About Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars of Property DESTROYED. +

DollarS OF property Destroyed.
TROY, N. Y, Dec. 14.-Fire ragged to-
night in J. NJ. Warren 81 Co.'s hard
ware establishment, five-story struet-
ure opposite Frear's bazaar, which was
burned out last night. When the fire
started at Frear's last night some of the,
stock was removed and stored in War
ren's building. The fire started in the
top story of the building. where large
quantity of bnilders' tar paper was
stored. This was great feed to the
flames, and the smoke was so dense
that the work of the firemen was con-
siderably impeded. The firemen could
not hold their hose to the best advan-
tage because of half-frozen hands and
worn-out energies. Besides, the build
ing was so high that any attempts to
force a stream to the top floor were
futile. The fire gained the upper hand,
and at s O'Clock was still burning fierce
lY, and threatened to reach the main
building of the j. NJ. Warren company
and the wholesale grocery house of
SquIreS, Sherry 81 Galusha, adjoining.
While the fremen were hard at work,
the entire department at the scene,
two other alarms were rung in. 1t was
reported that the immense collar factory
of Earl 81 Wilson, several blocks away,
was on fire, and steamer was dis
patched there, but the alarm proved
false. The other alarm was caused by
the explosion of lamp In Toys MILL
merry store in King street. The millinery
store was totally destroyed. Mrs. Toy,
in her endeavor to remove some of the
stock, was overcome by smoke, and
rescued with difficulty. In the mean
time, the fire in the Warren building
broke out with great fury. 1t had
reached the willow ware department,
and the passageway to the main build
ing was in blaze. The fremen di-
rected their efforts to save adjoin-
ing property. and in this way the
flames had a chance to increase
until great tongues of fire leaped
high in the air and rushed
out of every window. The firemen and
the great crowd of spectators were in
formed by direction of the fremen that
there were several hundred pounds of
blasting powder stored in the west end
of the fourth floor of the burning struct-
ure, and there was mad rush from the
vicinity.
The firemen believe they have gained
the mastery, although the fire is still
burning fiercely.
c. w. Tillinghast, president of the
company. says that the three buildings
were valued at S95, 900, and the stock at
1925, ZOO. There is insurance of SI65, 900
on the stock, and $4,000 on the build
lngs. The structure that is almost
totally destroyed was valued at S25. 600,
and the stock at s150,OOO. The total loss
will be almost S200.0O0.
The fire was finally subdued at, L a.
m. The losses are not obtainable at
this hour, but will reach in the neigh
borhood of S150,000 to 5000, 200, and are
believed to be fully covered by insur-
ance. The ruins are still smouldering,
and the flremen are still playing on the
emberS.

Special to the Globe.
GLASGOW, Mont. Dec. 14.-DiSap-
pointment in love caused the death of
Pauline Lentz, comely young woman
twenty-five years of age. She died this
afternoon at 8 o'clock in great agony
Her death is supposed to be the work
of her own hands. About four months
ago well-knowu cattleman from Cas-
cade came to Glasgow. Pauline Lentz,
who was employed as waiter girl al
the Elite restaurant. met him at the eat
ing house shortly after his arrival. The
cattleman seemed to have found an
affinity, and became regular boarder
at the restaurant. He showed the young
woman those thousands of attentions
they so much love, and soon
won her confidence. This drift
ed into consuming love on
the woman's part. Affairs progressed
until an engagement was made and the
bridal day set. Pauline's cup of joy
was filled. Her life of toll seemed at
last rewarded by love as great and
pure as her own. In the elyslum OF her
JOY she told her friends of the antlci-
pated wedding. A few days ago dis
interested third party went to the cat
tleman and maligned his affianced,
swearing that she was false and perfid-
ious. Naturally it angered him and his
jealous nature overcame his Judgment,
and he broke the engagement, telling
her the reason. Tears and pleading
availed her naught. When she asked
him to believe her he turned deaf ear.
This was three days ago. The girl has
been morbid and melancholy ever since,
and has in her sleep called and cried
for her lover. At 10 O'clock this morn
ing she was seized with convulslons.
DIR. HOyt was summoned and pro-
nounced the case hysteria. So violent
were these spells that two strohg men
were unable to hold her, and she broke
away and knocked the glass out of win
dows and broke the furniture. These
spells continued until death relieved
her. The case has all the symptoms Of
poisoning, especially as the girl fought
the physician, and declared she would
not recover. The physician still main.
tains that it was hysteria, brought on
from a broken heart. An autopsy and
inquest will be held tomorrow.

BANKRUPT NORTH DAKOTA.
The State Has No Funds to Meet
Its Obligations.

BIsMARCK, n. D., Dec. 4.-Attorney
General Standish, for Auditor Porter,
has filed an answer to the mandamus
suit instituted by the Fargo agricultural
college against the auditor to compel
him to pay certain claims. The answer
discloSeS startling condition OF state
finances, and is altogether noteworthy
document. 1t shows that the state will
have to trim its sails very carefully to
exist for time, and that already there
is more money appropriated than will
be received for couple of years. Mr..
Porter's reply is as follows:
FirSt-That there is no money at this
time in the general fund of the state.
Second-That the cash revenue re-
ceived by the state from tax collections
made in the various counties in said
state during the year ending Oct 81,
1898, was S134, 4.35 less than was re-
ceived from like source in the cor
responding year Immediately preceding
this last.
Third-That the total assessed value
of this property in said state, as shown
by the assessment made in 1893 for state
and county purposes and equaliZed by
the equalization board, is 800, 105, $50,
anu lle peISOudl pIUpcIGf 6A6IlpllO Is
liable to reduce this valuation to about
SS2, 100000.
Fourth-That state levy has been
made of mills on said valuation to de-
fray all expenses for one year, this being
the highest levy permitted, and, if all
paid, the same will yield 1928. 900 and no
more: but the same is never all collect
ed, and the state cannot reasonably eX-
pect from said source more than $780,
600. and from all other sources not to
exceed $50, 600. making its total revenue
to be received under the most favorable
anticipations buL S3S0,000 for the years
expenses.
Fifth-By section 1872 of our state con-
stitution the debt limit is restricted to
100000 in addition to the debts it as
Sumed in taking on statehood aud it has
exhausted all this power.
Defendant would further state that
there is no fund in the treasury to meet
the expense of conVening the legisla-
ture to modify or repeal any of the ap-
preparations that are made and that are
to be paid;
Wherefore, in view of the matters and
things hereinbefore stated, said defend
ant prays that the writ and application
of plaintiff herein may be dismissed,
and that defendant may be allowed to
go hence with his costs and for all
proper relief in the premises.

WAsECA. Minn., Dec. 14.-This was
the closing day of the annual session of
the Minnesota Dairymen's association,
but up until the closing hour all the
time was occupied with work of great
interest to those engaged in dalrving.
Papers of great interest by those of long
experience upon topics relating to the
dairy were numerous, and were listened
to with marked attention by a large
audience of thoughtful farmers. Such
prominent dairy farmers as George FL.
Wood and Saul Leslie, of this comfy.

rience and success in butter making.
gave from their store of knowledge
upon these subjects, and papers of great
value and of much benefit to all were
read
The morning session was given up
largely to discussion of papers pre-
sented. The proper rearing of dairy
cattle received considerable considera-
ton. The exhibits, which during the
two preceding day. of the session had
accumulated so that they had in num-
Der equaled that OF any convention vet
held, were. after the dinner hour, turned
over to the judges and proper awards
made. The election of officers also took
place this afternoon. and most of
the old officers were reelected.
President Gibbs appears to be
very popular man, and his great in.
terest i'll dairying makes him a yery
earnest worker for the welfare of the
association at whose head he is. The
attendance of all those prominent in
dairying from all parts of the state. and
the interest by them taken in the work
and the prompt performance by all of
the duties assigned to them has made of
this convention splendid success and
far ahead of any before held. 1t is the
hope of all the citizens of this city that
the next convention will also be held
here.

But the present discomfort is deeper

The ASSASSIN'S MOTHER,
HER EVIDENCE IN SUPP1RT or THE
INSANITY THEORY.
HAD SUFFERED FROM A FALL,

ration Counsei-WhiIe Cross
examining Mrs. Prendergast
the Assassin Calls Attorney
Trude a Scoundrel for Talke
ing to His Mother.
CHICAGO. Dec. S12.-The court room
was crowded today during the Prem der
CAST trial. many ladies being among the
spectators. Prendergast was nervous
and i'll at ease when Carter Harrison Jr.
came into court with his wife and his
sister, Miss Sophia Harrison. The lat
ter Was called to the witness stand, and
her testimony was given with great
effort as she told of the murder of her
father. A number of other witnesses
We're examined, but their testimony de-
veloped nothing new. The prosecution
rested its case with the evidence of the
physicians, who produced in court the
bullets which were fired into the body
of Mayor Harrison.
The first witness for the defense was
Mrs. Helen Prendergast, the mother Of
the assassin. Her evidence was en-
tirely in support of the insanity theory.
She said that about the time when he
was merging from boyhood into man
hood she saw with some CONSERVATION
that there was marked change In his
disposition, and that he became re-
cluse, devoting himself to books and
avoiding all forms of outdoor diversion
common to boys. She said he often
talked foolishly about being made cor
poration counsel. and grew furious
when she suggested that he was not fit
to hold the position. She testified that
he had bad fall when a child, in
which he had struck his head so Sc
yerely as to injure his eyesight.
Brother Baldwin, the director of the
Catholic school which Prendergast at
tended. testified that he had considered
the prisoner demented = not crazy
enough to necessitate confinement, but
too crazy to be an agreeable companion.
His opinion was formed by the PRISON
er's actions and manner more than any
thing he had said.
During the cross-eXamination of Mrs.
Prendergast by Attorney Trude, the
prisoner lost his temper and exclaimed:
"Trude, you are scoundrel to talk to
my mother that way" The attorney
was, however, doing nothing out of the
way.
