BIG BLAZE IN CHICAGO.
Loss Will Reach Over One Hundred
TIiGUSunI DnIIrrA

Chicago, Nov. ga fire in the fashion,
able Victoria flats, at Forty-fourth street
and Greenwood boulevard this afternoon
communicated TO the Knox and Dupont
flats, causing a loss of $4,000
The Victor building, five stories high
was filled with smoke before the tenants
learned of their danger Some rushed to
the lower windows and jumped to the
ground without serious injury. Others
IN the upper stories were rescued by fire.
men. Several women were carried out
who had been rendered unconscious, by
the smoke.
The Victor building was completely
Quilted and the two adjoining flats con-
siderably damaged by fire and water.
The high wind made the work of the
firemen doubly hard and carried the
flames to a row of frame stables, COM
pletely destroying them. The handsome
residence OF D. N. Demming, 1852 Green
wood avenue, was partly destroyed.
More than eighty families We're made
homeless by the burning of the nat
buildings. The loss on buildings alone
is fully 100000. of which about S60.000 is
covered by insurance. With perhaps
half a dozen exceptions there was not a
resident in either building who saved as
much as change of clothing. The fol-
lowing is a list of the injured:
Mrs. B. NJ. Young, injuries to spine.
George Hill, severely burned.
Mrs. Dougherty, arm broken.
John Spar and Edward Dennis, fire
men.

BoNDED GOODS ARE SAFE.
Important Decision by Judge Slack
on MateriaIs in Trims


Judge Slack has just decided d point
of great interest to shippers and i'm
porters. The question was over the
stoppage of goods in transit and occur
red in the case of Winter b. Sheppard
against the Southern Pacific company
Sheppard is an English merchant
In 1890 he sold a bill of something ike
$4,000 in wooden goods to Gordon Bros,
tailors, of this city, says the san Fran
cisco Examiner. In October of that year
the first two of the boxes of woolsns
were shipped to New York, directed to
L. Hawley, agent of the Southern Pa
cific company. HaWley was to put them
on the Southern Pacific company ;
steamer to New Orleans, from whence
they were TO be sent to this city over
the regular Southern Pacific company
lines. AS the goods were still in bond
HaWIey directed them to the collector
( of the port of this city. There was a
notation to the bill of lading, stating
/ that the goods were for Gordon Bros.
| Soon after the goods left Liverpool
Sheppard received tidingS that Gordon
Bros. were insolvent. HaWley had al
ready transshipped the goods TO New
Orleans when he received this message.
| All hands went to work to try ard
| stop the goods on the road, but without
avail, the invariable answer being that
| they were in bond and under the con-
troll of the United States government.
| on arriving here the goods were cart
| ed to a bonded warehouse, and there
| they remained for several months de-
spite the efforts of Sheppards agents
to get them.
Finally Sheppard brought suit
against the Southern Pacific company
| for the value of the goods. The case
came up for trial yesterday
| After hearing arguments from both
parties Judge Slack held that the right
/ of stoppage of bonded goods in transit
does not exist, and that vendors must
| take some other means of stopping
i goods. Shipping directly to an agent,
who could collect the bill for delivery,
was one of the suggestions offered.
The goods in question remained in
1.-THE bonded warehouse for several
months. Then Gordon Bros. assigned
the bill of lading to Attorney Choyn-
ski for his fee in hsndling the Gordon
insolvency case Choynsh paid the
duty and took the goods.

Wheeling, w. Va, Nov. 2O.-The most
appalling mine disaster that ever oc-
CURED in this section Of the state oc-
CURED today shortly after noon, at
the Blanch coal mines on the Fan
Handle railroad at Golfers station. A
new miner, an Italian, put on an over
charge blast. which ignited the coal
dust in the mine and a fearful explo-
sion followed, carrying death and des-
truction in its path. There were lorty5
eight men in the mine at the time aha
the following are known to be dead:
Michael Rooney.
Thomas Jordan.
Thomas Tucker, married.
David Rowland, married.
John Donnelly, married, leaves ten
children.
Antonio Sattie, married.
Mazzle Gissiedeo, married.
The following are badly injured:
Jose Refel, married.
Rattle Necki, will die.
Jasper Lawrence.
Thomas Marris, colored.
After the explosion there was a
terrific whirlwind in the mine carrying
everything before it.
DonneIly and Rooney were in the
mine some distance away and gong
toward the mouth. The force of the
explosion drove them nearly a hundred
yards out of the mouth of the mine ano
landed Rooney on the car track, Killing
him instantly, while Donnelly landed in
a gully, striking his head against post
His brains were dashed out and scat
tered for wards around. His wife was
the first to find him. She is Frustrated
by the shock There is little hope that
she will recover.
The news of the disaster quickly
spread. and in a few moments people
were crowded about the mouth of the
mine. Many heart-rending scenes
were enacted. The wives and children
of the miners were frantic. In a short
time a rescuing party was organized
and went into the mine after the
bodies. When the bodies were brought
to the surface many women swooned
at the sight
Prosecuting Attorney Cotton and
Coroner Watkins, of Wellsburg, were
soon on the ground and took charge
of the bodies and will conduct a rigid
investigation.
This is the second accident of the
kind which has occurred at this mine
Just two years ago a similar explosion
occurred, in which three were killed
and several injured. The state mine
inspector will be here tomorrow to take
part in the investigation.
/ There were miraculous escapes
when the explosion occurred.
! William Davis was in the entry. 15(
feet from the entrance, and when he
heard the explosion he lay down nea,

DENVER'S STRANGER.
1t is Relieved He Formerly Operated
in Dayton and Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, O., Nov 2O.-On the 18th of
July last Mary Ekhart, of Dayton, was
found dead in her room, this city, with
towel knotted around her neck, her
room locked and no clue to the murder
er left The Enquirer connects this
murder with that of Minnie Weldt, in
New York on May 81, and that OF Josie
Bennit, in Buffalo on June 30, to both
of which the Cincinnati murder was
similar in respect to manner and myst-
cry. The Enquirer then calls attention
to the resemblance of circumstances, be-
tween these three murders and the three
strangling murders in Denver, namely
those of Lena Taper, september 20
Marie Contassoit, October 49, and Klku
Oyama, November 5. 1t suggests that
all these murders were committed by
one and the same man, the Denver
stranger, as indicated by resemblance
in method and concurrent circumstances.
1t then calls attention to letter lett
by Mary Ekhart, which mentions an
unidentified man whom she had met
while going to Denver. she also stated
in some other notes she lett thaL she IN
tended to go to Denver. The Enquirer
reasons from this that one man COM
mitted all these murders.
The Cincinnati police tonight will not
admit that they are working up this
case on the clue.
