IIouSToN, Texas, Oct. lG--Early this
morning fire was discovered in the San
Jacinto boarding house Fraklin and Jacin-
to streets. Before the flames were gotten
under control, two lives and probably four
were destroyed. The flames quickly spread
to ST. Josephs Catholic lnRrmary, Frank

men and the bulldogs were tota ly de-
stroyed. Two sisters of the institute named
Jane and Dordel, persisted in the
burning biilling. Two patterns lying in
the upper story of the dormitory
are missing, and it is feared they are burned
to death. Another sister, named Clothilde
was frightfulIy burned about the head and
shoulders, but it il believed that she will
recover. From st. J0sophs ln6rmary the
Il 4mes spread to Alexanders boarding
house, and thence to adjoi1ine stores. The
fire lasted from 2.i5 until i,30, and in that
time destroyed over a dozen buildings. Fol-

THAT BIG STAMP ROBBERY.
II Is Now Rumored That Scandals May Sc
uaearihsd.

WASHINGTON, Oct. i6 The postage
stamp robbery in the bureau OF engraving
and printing is developing into serious
scandal. W. B. Smith, the thief now un-
der arrest and who offers 10 turn states
evidence, hints that some of tie higher
officials of the bureau were in collision
with him.
This IS startling news, but the authorities
are in possession of so much evidence
against the guilty parties, it is not likely
Smith will be let of.
There is no way of determining the exact
number of stamps stolen until all the post
offices to which new stamps were shipped
are heard from.
Ii is believed nov that a quarter of &
million of stamps will hardly cover the
number stolen, AS there is almost an hourly
discovery of packages which were tsmpered
with.
In an office on Newspaper row, where
periodicals and stamps are sold, the proprie'
tor was offered some of the stolen property
at the rate of S25 worth in face value for
$50. At this price the thieves must have
made large sum of money.
The ease with which these stamps were
stolen is a fine commentary on the safe
guards which Chief johnson stated TO Con-
gress were thrown around the government
establishment; his argument that printing
stamps by private parties was more danger
Gus than by the government has received
swift condemnation.
The agent, who is supposed to exercise
supervision over the printing of stamps and
their shipment is one Davis, formerly a
minister in a church which President Cleve-
land attended in New York state. This
sgent has an office mile and half from
the bureau. He has some clerical help, but
so far as the printing and shipment of
stamps is concerned, he knows absolutely
nothing about them.
Since the robbery was discovered it has
been determined to put the stamp agent ~
the bureau, where lie will have something
to do with their manufacture.
The stamps which have been purloined
were taken from the vault, where they were
undergoing DR.! process before ship
ment. The postage stamps now being
printed by the bureau of engraving and
printing are the only tokens made and is
sued by the United States that are in uego-
table shape when finished by the bureau.

BATTlESRlP MAINE
Makes a CreditabIe Warming.up Run in
Teeth Of a Gale.

NEW LONDON, CT, Oct. lG.-1n the face
of southerlv gale that made all coasting
vessels within reach of this port scurry to
anchorage here under well shortened sails,
the battleship Maine went out for warm
ing-up spin this afternoon. The engine
trial beard took data of the performance of
the machinery to familarize the members
with the duties of their stations, but the
main purpose of the run was to see that
everything worked smoothly in view of the
latest changes in adjustments. The tests
made indicate in a general way the probs-
bility that the results of the official trial
will be satisfactory to the contractors from
pecuniary point of view and gratifying TO
the navy department in the capacity of the
machinery supplied by the Quintard Iron
Works.
The ship left anchorage and proce eded
out into the Sound aCout under easy
steam heading to the westward into the
teeth of the ever increasing blow and went
ahead at great speed. The brisk wind
threw the spray in clouds over the bows
until off Corbf Id shoal hghtship, VIII IN a
turn was made and coming back before the
ind in little more than an hour anchored
again on the bottom off Pequot landing.
Even in the lumpy water kicked up by the
gale the Maine was steady es remarked of
her on previous trips, fact also noted
and spoken of by members of the board
busy below decks. Unofficial tests on this
trip at three l0-minute periods showed l2i
revolutions of the propeilers per minute
and AS pounds steam pressure, both aver
aged approximately. This result is SEEM
ingly satisfactory to the members of the
beard who, however, only expressed them
selves pleased at the outlook for the real
tri al.
Commodore George W. Melville, chief
engineer of the navy department, gave
scant attention to the scene on deck, and
soon went below to see what was going on
in the heart of the ship. His tour through
the engine room was punctuated with in
queries which showed his interest in the
work in hand. President Triggs of the
Richmond Locomotive Works and other
guests of Quntsrd and Palmer, were on
board as interested on-lookers. Chief Mel
vile expects to go out on the off icial and
then will probably have look over the
torpedo boat, Ericsson.

SCANDAL
Has Stirred the Quiet Community Of Easl
Po.and and a Peace Loving Husband.

EAST POLAND, Oct. 16. - (SpeciaD -
This little burg is very much disturbed
over the disappearance of Mrs. A. R. Yer
rill and naturally the townspeople dislike to
talk aboutit because the community has
always been without the damaging in
fluences of scandal.
There comes cut of Mrs. Verrill going
away very choice bit of scandal that some
people delight in. 1t appears from the in.
vestigation of the Journal man, that Mrs.
VerIill has not committed suicide and
doesn't intend to. She just simply made
up her mind that she would go away with
her half-brother and and give her husband
chance to hire housekeeper.
A. r. Verrill is quite well-to-do farmer
who sold nice little farm, last spring, get
ting about $1,000 for it, and then moved
onto the Benz. Cobb place, in the same
neighborhood, prepared to take life easy.
Mrs. Verrill, a comely woman, of about
fortyfive, had good home and no grounds
for complaint. The couple had lived
together 20 years without quarrel, so it is
said. Up on Bailey Hill lived Mrs. Verrilps
half-brother Kilwit Dacey, whose wife died
last July. Kilwit was a frequent visitor tc
the Verrill home, and on many occasions
took Mrs. Verrill out to ride. Upon the
death of Dacey's wife, he went to board
with the Nerrilrs, and the neighbors fell
called upon on several occasions
to say something among them
selves about the rather intimate rela-
lions of Mrs. Verrill with Dacey. Dacey
had two young children in Portland.
Dacey took Mrs. Verrill to the New
Gloucester fair and the next day left Yer
rill's, saying he was going to Parsonsfeld
to visit relative named Colony. This
was on Wednesday, Oct. 8. The next Sat-
urday, Mrs. Verrill concluded that she
would visit her relatives in Portland, and
taking with her her 9-year-old son, departed
for the Forest City.
Last Wednesday Mrs. Verrill wrote her
husband letter in which she stated that
.he had changed her mind since going to
Portland and that he chad better get a
woman to to do your housework until you
xnow what you want to do"
Mr.. Verrill took the afternoon train,
Fri lay for Portland and he said he would
not come back until he got his boy.
1t was difficult to make Verrill believe
that his wife had left until he investigated
md found that she had taken away all the
ilverware and lace curtains and had drawn
$500 from the bank on the day of her de-
parture.

to poke nose in front at the last
stride and she was declared the winner,
though it was very close. Time, 2.l5 81,
equalled the record held by Silicon. The
second heat proved another contest between
the favorites and was troited in pretty much
the same manner, though Impetuous won
more handily in exactly the same time,
making two of the fastest heats ever trotted

MR.. MORTON'S FOREIGN SERVANTS.
There Are 80 Americans al ElIerslis. 9 Irish
2 Scotch ard English.

RHINEcLrr, n. Y, Oct. lG.-The ridicu
lous arrest of one of Mr.. Morton'S servants
on the ground that his employment was a
violation of the alien contract labor law has
proved boomerang TO the Democrotic
politicians who engineered it. Every one
is disgusted at such an exhibition of peanut
politics, and especially so as the engage
ment of Coachman Howard was within the
express stipulation of law.
Since the arrest, however, much has been
said of the nationality of the servants and
employees around Mr.. Morton's home. A
reporter in order to learn the facts, took a
census of those employed on the 900 acres
composing Ellerslie, with the result that Of
the Al men on the pay roll % are Ameri-
cans, are Irish 9 Scotch and l English.
