spondent THAI the excitement in Homo
lulu over the political situation was
growing in intensity. The provisional

with the Assassin.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-A crank carrying
a huge revolver and who said he was
commissioned by the deity TO do good,
appeared at the county Jail today and
asked to see Prendergast.
Give minutes talk with Prendergast
is all L want" said the crank" and he
will walk out of prison a free man..
His request was refused, and, pointing
at his weapon, he said he would COM
nit murder If the Lord ordered him to
do so. He was promptly arrested and
taken TO a station house, where he said
his name was Fred Names.
Names said that the killing Of Mayor
Harrison was in answer to a prayer for
it; that he had made it tWenty-fOur
hours before the shooting occurred. He
said that Prendergast was consequently
innocent. Names came to Chicago from
a farm near Ottawa, Mich, in July last.
He made speeches at the lake front dur
ing the meetings of the unemployed last
summer and had frequently attracted at
tention i'm Michigan by holding several
meetings in country churches there. He

AN OLD PIONEER GONE.
THE VENERABLE JOHN TAYLOR OF
NEW CASTLE DIES.
He Came to This State Many Years
AgO-Was Friend OF William
Henry Harrison-Members of His
Family still Living.

The pretty little town of New Castle
is in mourning today. 1t mourns be-
cause of the death of John Taylor. one
Of its oldest and best known citizens.
who died Wednesday at the advanced age
of ninety-one years
Sixty-six years ago he settled in the
staid, old-fashioned quaker settlement.
At that time it was not much of town,
and together with the Elliotts, GOodwins,
Hollands. Folks, Murpheys and many
others he made it what it is today. one
of the wealthiest and most cultured
towns in eastern Indiana. For
more than half century he
lived in little white cot
tage just south Of where the court house
now stands He remembered the fight
made by New Castle for the county seat
of Henry county and how it finally won
the fight and the seat of government was
moved from Knightstown. The erection
Of the court house was an epoch in the
history OF New Castle. 1t occurred
nearly thirty years ago and since that
time the town has steadily improved. It
is not a business center, but it boasts Of
having more wealthy men than any
other town Of it's size in the state.
Probably no man in eastern Indiana
was better known or more universally
liked than Mr. Taylor For more than
twenty years Re was proprietor Of the
Taylor house. which formerly occupied
the ground where the Bundy house now
stands. Mr.. Taylor's hotel was well
known among the members of the bar,
70, r. Ia x1~ae n
prominent mason and was a lifelong
democrat, having voted for Jackson and
every democratic candidate for presi-
dent since. He had a personal acquaint-
ance with Gen. William Harrison and
used to delight his friends by telling sto-
ries of the days when Mr. Harrison ran
for president On one occasion Mr.. Tay-
Ior was stopping al the same hotel in
Cincinnati with Mr. Harrison. At that
time 1t was customary for the guests to
leave their boots outside Of the door to
be blackened, and the first man up usu-
ally got the best pair. One morning Mr.
Harrison was seated at the same table
with Mr.. Taylor, and when he entered
the dining-room the latter noticed that
he was limping.
Hello, how are you, General?" asked
Mr.. Taylor.
Rfetly Well except my 1eeLs some
body has got my boots" answered the
general.
II am troubled the same way; suppose
we change" said Mr. Taylor. The
change was made and it was discovered
that the gentlemen had accidentally got
ten the boots mixed.
Mr.. Taylor leaves a family Of fwe chill
dren, among whom are Mrs. f. b Mar
tindale Of indianapolis. George c. Tay-
Tor of Chicago and Mrs. r. b Smith Of
New Castle. at whose home Mr.. Taylor
lived and died Mrs. Taylor died three
years ago at the advanced age of eighty
four. Several years ago the venera BILE
couple celebrated their golden wedding
and it was an event long remembered in
New Castle. Mr. Taylor will be buried
in the cemetery south of New Castle to-
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock

Worst COnGagratiOn in the City for
Twenty Years-Other Fires.

TOLEDO, O., Jan. Sire tonight
caused a loss Of fully half million dol
lars. 1t broke out few minutes after
o'clock in the elevator Of F. n. Quayle
& Co, on the river, fronting on Madison
and Water-sts. The cause is as yet I'M
known.
An explosion OF dust caused a general
alarm. The elevator with its contents
were entirely destroyed. A strong north
west wind carried the flames across
Madison-st to the elevator and burned
the block of c. A. King & Co, which is
also a total loss. The flames also spread
westward across Water-st. to the rear
of a large five-story business block,
known as the Chamber of Commerce
building, owned by the Hon. T. P.
Brown and occupied by the Western
Union telegraph company, the Ameri-
can district company and a large num-
Der of offices which was also destroyed.
From this the flames spread south to
the next building, five stories high, &C
cupied as a museum and theater, known
as wonderland" managed by c. H.
Moore. This was Quilted by the flames
within few minutes. The next build
ing, southwark, was the wholesale drug
house Of West & Truax, which Is also
a total loss. A strong fire-wan checked
the flames in this direction. To the west
they leaped across Summit-st., injuring
the Harvard building, but the fire was
here checked without great damage. In
the rear Of this building is the office Of
the Postal telegraph company, the man
ager of which removed all the apparatus
possible, thus cutting off all telegTaphic
communication for a time, as the West
ern Union office and instruments were
destroyed in toto
two-stroy block on the northwest
corner of Water and Madison-sts.,
diagonally across from the Quale ele-
vator. was also destroyed.
The losses so far ascertained are as
follows: f. n. Quale & Co., loss on ele-
vator building, $4,000; fully insured as
also all grain in store. c. A King &
Co., $4,000 on building, also insurance
on all goods In store; T. B. Brown,
Chamber of Commerce building, loss
$4,000 insurance $4,000; Wonderland,
loss on building $4,000. on contents 800
600; West & Truax, loss on building $780,
600, on stock $4,000, fully insured on
latter; losses to various business firms
and offices in King block and chamber
Of commerce, 100000, insurance I'M
known; other losses, 5000. The total
loss will reach nearly a million, as esti-
mated tonight.
Owing to the high wind help was re-
quested from the nearest cities, and re-
sponded to promptly by Cleveland, De-
troit and Adrian. The two latter reached
the city before the fire was under. con-
troll and rendered efficient service.
There was fortunately no fatalities, al
though Capt Frazier Of company No. 1
was overcome by smoke and reported
killed, but he is all right. This is the
largest fire which has visited Toledo for
the past twenty years.

Loss of 100000 ut Detroit.

DETROIT, Jan. Sire started from
some unknown cause in the third story
of the T. II. Hinchman & Sons whole
sale drug store about $50 this evening.
The entire four stories were shortly be-
yond saving and the firemen directed
their efforts to saving adjoining build
ings. The IIinchman building. which
was owned by d. Hinchman, of the firm,
was four stories high and extended
through the block from Jefferson-ave. to
Woodbridge-st., with an addition on the
Woodbridge-st. end. Adjoining the
latter is Standard Bros wholesale hard
ware house, which also suffered heavily
from fire and water. w. II. Edgar &
Co., wholesale sugar dealers, sustained
a loss of several hundred dollars from
fire, water and smoke. Another build
ing occupied by Louis Blitz & Co, fancy
glass manufacturers, was somewhat
damaged with small loss on stock. The
Hinchman house was one Of the oldest
and largest in the state. Their loss on
building and stock will probably reach
S165. 600; insurance. $4,000. The STANDARD
stock and building were valued at S115,-

actual loss cannot now be estimated,
but it is believed the entire loss will be

THE MOLLlE GIBSON MINE.
IN THREE YEARS 1T PAID DIVI-
DENDs OF NEARLY S4,OOO,OOO.
The Stockholders Decide to Suspend
Operations Owing to the Low Price
of silver Consequent Upon the Re-
peal of the Silver Purchase Law.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col. Jan. A
A sensation was caused today at the an
nual meeting Of the Mollie Gibson min
ing company by the announcement of a
suspension Of dividends. As a conse-
quence the stock slumped from $1.45
share to s1.2O IN less than thirty minutes
and continued to decline until the close
Of the local exchange, when it was
quoted at S1.10
The Mollie Gibson is located at Aspen
and is without doubt the richest as
well as the most wonderful silver mine
in all the West In 1890 the stock of
this company was kicked around the
streets of Denver with no purchasers at
80 cents a share. Soon after this a rich
vein of mineral was found. in April, 1891.
and the company paid a dividend OF
5000 in capital stock Of S1,O00,000.
From this time the stock rapidly ad-
vanced in price until at one time it was
quoted at S11.50 per share. In June,
1891, the dividends We're increased to
$4,000 per month and up to Dec. Is,
1893. $780, 900 in dividends had been
paid.
All development work was stopped on
the mine in July, when the decline in
the price of silver came. At that time
the company had in its reserve fund
S503, 900. 1t has since paid out in divi-
dends and for labor and new pumps

In his letter to the stockholders Presi-
dent ]. ]. IIagegman says:
1.-The shaft is TOW down to the tenth
level. 40 feet from the surface. The
mine contains as rich ore as ever and in
as great quantity, but the managers
thought it advisable to discontinue all
work and the payment of further divi-
dends until the future prospects of silver
had been definitely settled

FOUND a ROBBERS ROOsr.
Plumber from the Worlds Fair Under
One OF the Buildings.

CHICAGO, Jan. "a robbers roost
rich with plumber, has been found be-
meath the floor of the great agricultural
building at the worlds fair grounds.
The thieves escaped, but much valuable
stolen property was recovered. The den
was sumptuously furnished with Turk
ish rugs, fabrics from foreign looms,
rich draperies and comfortable divans
Fine brandies, high priced wines and
imported cigars were scattered about
the place in great profusion.
Three men were seen stealing whisky
bottles and, following, the officers found
the den. The men dropped through a
hole in the floor, and the officers in pUr-
suit found a well-beaten path under the
building leading to the den. 1t is prob
able that the thieving has been going
on ever since the close Of the fair, as
articles have been missed from the
building for many weeks.

a masterpiece by the French painter
Jules Arsene GARNER. valued at 500 900
