Two Women Cremated In n Confiagration
at Houston, Tex.-Two Villages Almost
Entirely Destroyed.
Houston, Tex, Oct. 17.-Early yes
terday morning fire was discovered in
the San Jacinto boarding house on
Franklin and Jacinto streets, and be-
fore the flames were gotten under con-
troll probably four lives were lost and
100000 worth of property was de-
stroyed. The flames quickly spread to
st. Joseph's Catholic infirmary on
Franklin avenue and despite the efforts
of the firemeu the building was totally
destroyed. Two sisters of the institute
perished in the building. Two patients,
lying in an upper story of the dormi-
tory, are missing and it is feared they
are burned to death. Another sister
named Clothilde had narrow escape.
She was frightfully burned about the
head and shoulders, but it is believed
she will recover.
From st. Josephs infrmary the
flames spread to Alexander's boarding
house, then to adjoining stores. The
flames lasted from 2:45 a. IN. until 4:30
o'clock and in that time destroyed over
a dozen buildings. The origin of the
fire is supposed to be due to an explo-
sion of an oil lamp.
The total loss will amount to over a
half million dollars, with an insurance
of about one-third of that amount
The infirmary was one of the finest in
stitutions of the kind in the south and
cost nearly 100000.
The two Sisters of Mercy who We're
burned to death were known as Sisters
Dolores and Jennie. The family name
of Sister Dolores was Elizabeth Boyd.

A SAD STORY.
A New Jersey Mother Commits
an Awful Deed.
while Insane She Locks Herself and
Three Children In Barn and
} Fires the Structure - All
Burned to Death.

EIIzABETH, N. J., Oct. 16.-Mrs Jen-
ME Ilarrigan and her three children
perished by fire in the barn upon their
farm in the outskirts of the city. The
residence also was burned. The hus-
band and father was absent. The
general belief is that Mrs. Har-
rigan became suddenly insane and set
the house on fire; that she then took
her children and went inco the
barn. and locking the door, set the hay
on fire. As the flames began to close
around them the mother gathered the
children about her and held them un-
tt they were all overcome. The eldest
oE the children was years of age and
the youngest IA months.
Mr.. Harrigan Is quite poor and
peddles for q livelihood. He went to
Newark this morning to sell his
wares. When neighbors, attracted by
the smoke, rec ched the home of the
Harrigans they found box of wood
on fire in the house and quickly ex-
tinguished it. The flames in the
barn, however, had gained such
headway that nothing could be
done until the fiimsy structure had
been burned to the ground. 1t was
then that the fate of Mrs. Harrigan
and her three children became known.
Mrs. Harrigan, who was 80 years OF
age, had shown no signs of insanity,
though she had been respondent c-a-
the circumstances of herself and fam

mitted by New York Policemen,
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE senate po-
lice investigating committee resumed
its sittings yesterday. The first wit
ness called was James Smith, restau-
rant keeper who testified that officer
Callahan came to his place q week ago.
He was intoxicated and had two
live chickens in his hand" said the wit
ness. HE asked for a knife. He was
so violent that / got my waiter to put
him out. Callahan returned about If
teen minutes later with pistol in his
hand. He then handcuffed me and took
me to the station house, where he
charged me with stealing $50 from
man. The sergeant afterwards re-
leased me. l went to police headquar-
ters and made a complaint to Inspector
McAvoy, but heard nothing more about
the matter"
1t was suggested by Chairman Lexow
that one of the police commissioners be
called and asked if Callahan had
been tried by the police board'for these
offences; but Mr.. Moss replied that it
was simply desired to show that
this brutality was possible under the
circumstances. Mr.. Moss said that
when the proper time came the COM
missioners would be called. "There
are two station houses in the city" he
declared, that are called the slaugh-
ter houses, because of the brutal way
prisoners are treated there when ar
rested"
John Frankel, who used to keep a
saloon on Hester street, was then
called. He testified that he knew Off
GERS Hussey and Shalvey.
"When opened the saloon" said he,
II gave Shalvey, who was wardman, So

gether; l paid him once at the station
house."

came into the saloon on February Il
and charged me with robbing man OF
$40. He said that had the man by the
throat while another man robbed him
The witness said that the man he was
accused of robbing came into the sa
loon and called for drinks for which he
did not pay. Then he was put out.
trankel was locked up and his brother
in-law Rosenshwig, paid 'Silver Dol
lar" Smith $500 to go bail, after which
Frankel was discharged.
Mr.. Golf then recounted the diff
culties that confronted counsel in the
beginning and said that in some case
their witnesses were spirited away il
the dead of night. John Johnson,
witness from the Tombs, was theI
called.
The witness testified that Keepe
Michael Leach, of jefferson Marke
prison, recommended Lawyers Pente

other lawyer. He had to pay $1.5O t
Keeper Leach for the privilege of walk

$4,000 or $4,000 Taken.
THE DALLEs, Ore, Oct. 16.-The Pa
cific Express company's Office in this
city was robbed Sunday at an early
hour of S14, 900 or $4,000. The
money was sent here from Port
land and arrived Saturday night
f. N. Hill, express agent, and
two officers took charge of
the money as soon as it arrived
tnlting is to the express Office. Details
o., the robbery are very meager. 1t is
thought that the robbers came here
on the train with the treasure box, and
knew where It was consigned and its
contents. Following il up after it
arrived, they made easy work of
capturing it. Charles Tibbitts, the
companys driver, sleeps in the eX-
press office, bu3 on the night of the
robbery he was attending a ball
and did not return until o'clock.
The ROBBERY was evidently between
1880 and 1880 while Tibbitts was
absent. There is no clew to the rob-
bers
RICHMOND, Va, Cco 16.-The express
officials mere now express the opinion
thai the Quantico train robbers did
not get over $1,000. NJ. Murray, WHO
handled the pouches and cut them
open for the robbers, says he is salts
fed from the feeling OF them the
amount did not exceed this. He says
that the bonds werc al saved, as ne
threw them in pile OF stuff The rob-
bers discarded. 1t leaked out Monday
that one package marked 81, 900 con-
tanned $4,000, the shipper doing this
to save charges.
