Washington, Sept. 1.-THE most fatal
fire of recent years in Washington was
the burning of the mattress factory of
Stump Bros. today.
Four bodies are at the morgue,
charred and crushed beyond recogni-
ton, while at the hospitals are three
victims fatally injured.
Several workmen are unaccounted
for and their bodies are doubtless in
the ruins.
Those dead are:
William H. Tennyson, an old man
employed in the factory.
Willie Ashe, IS years.
James F. Vaughn, a clerk.
Henry Fowler.
Missing:
Phillip Alderman.
Robert ReitZel.
An old man whose name is unknown.
Those at the hospitals are:
A. J. Haske, both. legs broken; may
die.
Arthur G. Bevins, internal injuries
and fractured wrist.
Harry Bacon, internal injuries.
The factory was five-story structure
with thin brick walls, windows only at
back and front and no fire escape. 1t
was stored with feathers, shavings
and other inf1ammable materials and
twenty-five persons were at work in it,
six of whom were young women.
Fifteen minutes before noon fire was
discovered in the packing room at the
front of the second floor Almost before
the alarm could be given to the work
men, it had burst up the elevator shaft.
The escape of those on the upper
floors was cut off. They stood in the
windows shouting for help while hun
dreds on the streets were watching but
unable to give them sucor.
Three men were seen on the roof,
gesticulating frantically. Before lad
ders were secured these men dropped
one by one and were horribly mangled.
A mattress held to break the fall
proved of no avail.
Other men held to projections outside
the windows, until mattresses had been
heaped upon the sidewalk and jumped
without sustaining severe injuries.
Twenty-Five minutes after the fire
had been discovered the east wall fell,
and soon thereafter the remaining walls
fell and crushed several structures adj
| jacent.
One fireman and several spectators
were hurt by falling bricks. The Cause
| of the fire is unknown.
| The aggregate loss is only 100000.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 1.-THE remains
of Mrs. Mabel Colvin, of Worcester,
Mass, and John Staengele, of this city,
the victims of yesterdays tragedy, lie
side by side in the morgue here.
The coroner's jury in the case of
Staengele returned a verdict that he
came to his death from a gunshot
wound inflicted with suicidal intent;
and in the case of the unfortunate wo-
man, that she had been murdered by
Staengele.
Staengele was a we'll known civil
engineer, recently employed in the Of
flee of the city surveyor. Mrs. Colvin
came from Worcester, Mass, and was
visiting her uncle and aunt, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jewett. She was the daughter of
S. Forehand, president of the Forehand
Arms company of Worcester. Mass,
man reputed to be Very wealthy.
Mrs. Colyin came here about a year
and a half ago to obtain divorce from
her husband. During the earlier period
of her visit, she met Staengele, and
recently it was accepted as fact by
their friends that as soon as the court
had freed Mrs. Colvin from her first
marriage she and Staengele would
marry.
For the past fortnight Staengele's
usual high spirits seemed to desert him,
but none knowing him had the slight
est suspicion that Handsome Jack, :"
as he was Familiarity called, had muir
der and suicide in his heart.
Soon after 10 o'clock yesterday Taorn-
ing, Staengele left his boarding house
in company with his roommate, NJ. j.
Clohesay, and walked to the Hotel
Portland, where they parted. Staen-
gele entered the hotel and wrote a
letter to Clohesay, in which he said he
intended to kill Mrs. Colvin, and then
commit suicide. as there was another
man in the case. After writing the
letter, which he placed in his pocket,
he started out to look for Mrs. Colvin.
She had gone to church, bu< instead OF
going home afterwards, she went for
walk with her brother and did not re-
turn until about o'clock. Her brother
had left. her and she was alone when
lStaengele met her.
The shooting occurred as soon as
Staengele and Mrs Colvin met.
| Mrs. Colvin was about 30 years OF
age and a very handsome woman.
Staengele's widowed mother makes
her home in Chicago, but was in this
city a few days ago. His sister. the
wife of DIR. Joseph Kirschner,. resides
| at ST. Joseph, Mo.
| Staengele was born in Princeton, Ill,
land was educated at Chicago.

Athletics mt yottersnJJ,s.

Chicago. Sept. 17.-An athletic entertain
ment of more than ordinary interest was
held at Tattersall's this evening under
the management of Parson Davies. Any
thing the Parson is interested in is sure
to be square and a large crowd gathered
to see the sport.
Billy Murphy, featherweight champion
of America and Jack Ingraham both of
Chicago. opened the evenings entertain
ment with a catch-as-catch-can wrestling
match, two points down to constitute a
fall. The first fall was won by Murphy
in two minutes and forty seconds. The
second bout was also won by Murphy, ~
minutes, IA seconds.
The main event of the programme was
an eight-round contest between Billy
Woods, of Denver. and Henry Baker, of
Chicago, at about 40 pounds Baker had
knocking his man down twice in the first
round and repeatedly thereafter.
The call of time saved Woods in the
first and sixth rounds
In every round Woods went to the earth
by a blow from Bakers strong right arm
counted out in the final bout he could not
have lasted another 30 seconds.
A three-round go between Joe Portwin,
of Portland, and James Huntington. of
san Francisco, featherweights, was next
and the men boxed thre rounds to the
satisfaction of the crowd
Joe Choynski and Mike Boden the
Trial Horse were the final card. Choy-
nski was to attempt to put mis- man our IN
four rounds. Re started in the first round
TO finish Rod.n, and knocked the latter
down twice, but clinching saved Boden
in the third round, after Boden had been
several times. knocked down
Boden was badly punished while Choy-
|nski had not a scratch.

Women Eager For the Fray.

San Francisco. Sept. 17.-Advices re-
ceived in this city from Yokohama
state that corps of female nurses has
been dispatched from the Toxic train
ing school to the new japanese mill
tary hospital at Seoul, and others are
being specially trained for this pur-
pose.
Throughout Japan the women have
caught the war fever and the greatest
enthusiasm prevails. A number of la
dies of rank have offered to go to the
seat of war as volunteer nurses and
others have even offered to raise a
corrs of female warriors, an offer not
so strange as it might at first appear,
as all Japanese ladies of good family
are taught the use of the sword and
halberd. and many of these are very
expert with these weapons. 1t can,
however. be safely predicted that the
last offer will not be accepted.

JAPAN GETS IN HER WORK.

until the middle of October there will
be no question as to the outcome of the
war;" he said. China will have an
overwhelming victory. If. on the other
hand, Japan forces the fight and lands
100000 troops in Corea without loss OF
time, there is every reason to suppose
that the odds will be in favor of the
Mikado's forces.
THE reason for this is explained
simply. This is the rainy season in the
northern provinces in China. The roads
are flooded, and China cannot trans
port her troops. She can take her
soldiers from Tien Tsin, a distance of
1873 miles north, by rail, but there is
march of 1000 miles to get into Corea.
That will take two months. If China
can hold her own until she can get
her troops into Corea the victory is
hers The japanese would be over
whelmed by numbers"
Speaking of the preneditated bonn
bardment of Tien Tsin, DR.. Scott said
that the port was as safe as any place
in China, and that the japanese would
never be able to effect an entrance
into the country from that point.
'Tien Tsin is thirty miles up the
river he said, land the river is so
shallow that no war vessel could make
its way very far up stream. In the
first place the Japanese war vessels
cannot get over the bar. When the
merchant vessels have to unload their
cargoes on to lighters outside the bar
and take advantage of the highest
tide to get over, it is not safe expert
ment for war vessels to try to pass it.
Again, there is a line Of torpedoes to
pass, and should the japanese land
their soldiers on either side of the river
they could never travel over the miles
of marsh that line the river below
Tien Tsin. The river is also protected
with forts. That city is perfectly safe

houses for Chinese soldiers and many
captured.
When the japanese troops made their
final assault, several of the Chinese de-
tenders threw their arms down and
fled, panic-stricken, to the valley north
ward. The Japanese, however, con-
trolled the entrance to the valley and
the fleeing Chinese found their retreat
in this direction cut off. Whole regi-
ments seeking to escape were thus
compelled to surrender.
1t is now stated the total number
killed will not exceed $500. The re-
mainder of the Chinese army, some
$4,000 men, are either wounded in the
hands of the Japanese or are unhurt
prisoners of war.
The emperor of Japan telegraphed
his congra tulation to the field marshal
upon his victory. The field marshal
has issued an order commencing the
troops for their action.
The dispatch adds the Japanese out
numbered the Chinese 8 to L. The
artillery was also vastly superior to
that of the Chinese.
The Japanese flying column is now
pushing northward, for the purpose of
securing the passes and thus prevent
ing the Chinese army from marching
within Corea.
A proclamation has been issued prom
Using protection to the Coreans as
long as they refrain from acts of hos
tility towards the Japanese.

San Francisco, Sept. IA New
full account of the cruel murder of
Rev. James Wylie, a Scotch missionary
in north China, the mere announce
ment of which was received by cable.
The viceroy, Ii Hung Chang, was
wroth over this crime, as he saw 1t
would ALLEVIATE foreign sympathy with
China, so he ordered that the culprit
be punished, and that prompt money
be paid to the relatives of
the victim. The correspondent, writ
ing under date of August 20, says:
''On August 20, at Laie Yang, town
on this river, fifty miles above this
port, soldiers on the way to Corea from
Lint Sing attacked the Rev. James
Wylie, member of the Scotch Presby
terrain mission, with knives and sticks.
After cutting him about the head and
face and beating him with sticks they
left him lying on the ground in the pub
lie roadway, where his colleagues found
him unconscious and bleeding from his
wounds. His lower jaw-was broken in
two places-double compound fracture
is the correct description I believe-and
his teeth were kicked out of both jaws.
He had several wounds about the head
and face, among others a deep scalp
wound and one across the ear. These
wounds, however, were not so serious
as the deep-seated injury to the brain,
caused by blows or kicks or both. Dr.
Gray at one time had hopes he might
recover, as he tried to speak, but soon
relapsed into complete unconscious

o'clock on the morning of the 9Th inst
