they saw the dainty badges pinned on

did not approve; that, come what may,
nothing could ever induce them to

In addition one man was so badly burned
that he can scarcely recover, and two
Others were seriously injured
Mrs. Taylor was awakened by the smell
Of smoke, and aroused her husband. They
found the halls of their home filed with
smoke, the fire having evidently obtained
great headway Mr.. and Mrs, Taylor sue
ceeded in grouping their way through suf-
locating smoke to the open air, without
having been able to extend helping hand
to their six children or others Of the house
hold.
People on tho streets had seen the fire..
and as Mr. and Mrs. Taylor emerged from
the burning building the fire department
arrived. The energies of all were directed
toward the rescue of those who still re-
manned in the doomed structure. The two
eldest of the Taylor children, Stewart and
William, were aroused in time, and, jump
ing from the window Of their chamber,
were caught without serious injury. Four
others of the children persisted Their
names are: Harriet, aged IL years; Ada,
aged 0; Arthur, aged z; Schultz, aged 5.
Their charred bodies were recovered
three hours later and removed to an I'M
dertaking establishment
Besides tho Taylor family there were in
the house Michael Mullady, laborer, and
two house decorators named Edward
Linta and William Ruth. All three had
been sleeping in the third story. When
aroused escape by the stairway was cut
off, and they jumped for their lives. Null
lady was SO badly hurt that he can
scarcely recover. Ruth and Linta stis-
tanned serious injuries, but they will prob
ably recover.
The house which was burned had only
recently been built, and the interior deco
ration was still incomplete.

have been streams OF callers, officials, dig

and that little consisted OF gloomy fore

The wild rumors reported on Sunday
from st. Petersburg were reported yester-
day in still wilder forms. From Moscow
comes a report that there are people there
who insist that the czarowitz has refused
to ascend the throne, and that the car, in
order to compel him to do so, has ordered
his immediate marriage to Princess Alix.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Oct. 23-The
bandit 9. ] Scarcey is neither confined in
Stafford county jail or In the Frederioks-
burg prison but last night was taken to
the bridge tenders house at Acquai Greek,
near the scene Of the hold up.
He Is In the custody Of Robert A. Pink
erton armed with Winchester; Sergeant
Darlington and Commonwealth ATTORNEY
w. Seymour White. The point was
reached after miles Of detour, and all in
dications would seem to give support to
the belief that Pinkerton and his party nre
on n hunt for the treasure stolen from the
express car and supposed to be buried.
Scarcey's manner and speech conclusively
show that treaty has been entered into
with the authorities.
Searcey was taken from the jail here
about noon and placed in a carriage. He
was handcuffed to Superintendent Pinker-
ton. In the vehicle was basket filled
with enough provisions to last the party
two days.
Many fruitless efforts were made to elude
the reporters who were following close be-
hind. brief stop was made at Brooks
Station, on the r. +. and Z. road and then
the ride was resumed to Stafford Court
House. While Searcey was sitting In the
parlor OF the clerk house the correspon-
dent asked Pinkerton the object Of the ex-
cursion.
1.-THE time is not ripe" he said, "but
there will be interesting developments
later on"
After repeated urgings on this point
the party left again without locking up
their prisoner in the Stafford jail
In all probability Searcey is taking Pin
kerton and his associates to the spot near
the Virginia Midland, where 1t Is said
thousands stolen from the express car
were buried
