He is now dead, and Williams is the ad-

FLAMES FED BY OIL.
Chicago Suffers From a 100000
Blaze.

CHICAGO, July 21.-The fire which
started in the building at 335 West
Polk street, occupied by the National
Linseed Oil company and the Wright
& Lawther oil and lead works, at an
early hour this morning, was one of
the most destructive with which the
Chicago fire department has had to
contend in many months. In the inn
mediate vicinity there is a lumber
yard and numerous manufacturing
buildings, and it was with the utmost
difficulty that the flames were kept
from spreading to these. Two large
tanks filled with oil in the immediate
rear of the burned building were only
kept from catching fire by the hard
est kind of work on the part of the
firemen. The main building was totally
destroyed and the loss will be about
100000 on stock and machinery. The
fire was discovered in the basement by
the watchman, who turned in an
alarm, but before the first relay of
engines arrived the entire structure
was in flames and adjoining property
was being threatened. The origin of
the fire is a mystery.
Mrs. John Dollweitzer occupied the
building adjoining the burned struc-
ture and at the time of the fire was
confined to her bed with typhoid
fever. She was carried to a place of
safety by the firemen, but it is feared
the shock will prove fatal.
President Alexander Fusion, of the
Linseed Oil company, visited the
scene Of the fire today. He said he
thought the insurance would nearly
cover the loss. Four engines were on
the scene all day, and tonight the oil

DURANT CASE TO-DAY.
The San Francisco Trial Promises
to BE Most Sensational.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-Tnter-
est in the terrible Emanuel church
murders which shocked the whole
world will be revived tomorrow
when the trial of Theodore Durant
commences. Last April San Fran
cisco was startled by the discovery
Of the bodies of Blanche Lamont
and Minnie Williams, two young
members of the congregati Sus-
picion pointed to Theodore Durant,
ayoung medical student and a men,
Der of the church. At the coroner'S S
inquest it was shown that Durant
had been attentive to both girls;
that the day Blanche Lamont dis
appeared he had been in her COM
pany, and that on the afternoon of
that day he was seen in church in a
greatly excited and disheveled con-
dition. 1t was also shown that he
had made an appointment to meet
Minnie Williams on the night she
was murdered, and witnesses will
testify that they saw two people re-
sembling Miss Williams and Durant
enter the church that evening. Miss
Williams purse was also found in
Durant's possession after he had
been arrested. Durant and his at
torneyS say that an alibi can be
proved that will shatter the case as
soon as the taking of testimony be-
gins. 1t is anticipated that there will
be considerable difficulty in securing
twelve men in San Francisco COM
petent for the law to decide Du-
rants fate.

CHICAGO, July Chichester W.
Rowe, the defaulting cashier of
Poweshiek county, Iowa, is under
arrest in the City of Mexico, and a
large part Of the $4,000 which he
made away with has been attached
by Pinkerton operatives, and will
likely be returned to the county from
which it was taken. Richard Rowe,
brother of the absconder, is also un-
der arrest as an accomplice 1t is
somewhat doubtful, however, wheth-
er either of the brothers can be TAX
en- back to Iowa for trial. Requisi-
ton papers were honored by the
state department at Washington and
forwarded to Mexico as rapidly as
possible, and with these Detective
Forsee applied to the Mexican au-
thorities for the arrest of the broth
ers. They were locked up, but when
it came to extraditing them the de-
tective found himself blocked. I'm
der the Mexican law foreigner may
go there, renuonce all allegiance to
the country from whence he came,
become a Mexican citizen and thus
avoid eXtradition. Rowe had taken
advantage of this law, although he
had only been in the City Of Mexico
about three weeks. AS a result, there
is likely to be a hot legal contest
in which the United States govern
ment will probably play a prominent
part.

Military at Fort Washakie Pre-
pairing fer an Expedition.
LANDER, Wyo., July 21.-What is
going on at Fort Washable seems to
be a military secret. Word, how
ever, comes from there that the
Indian judges and two policemen
who were sent to Jackson's Hole ten
or twelve days ago returned last
night. They report that they were
detained as captives by the Ban
nocks for several days, but at last
made their escape. Nothing has
transpired to indicate what the re-
port is, except that a movement of
a small body of troops from the
fort is apparent, as wagons are be-
ing loaded with supplies today, and
everything is active. Preparations
are going forward for some kind Of
a movement, but with only forty
two men at the post it will not be a
formidable army.
The people here are indignant that
Fort Washakie has been neglected,
but they have great faith that Gen.
Coppinger, the new commander of
the department, will recognize that
it is an exposed point.
The Bee correspondent has infor-
nation from Jackson's Hole, through
a gentleman who left there several
days ago. He says he learned
through Indian sources that there
were about 200 Indians in that local
ity and fifty of them were Shoshones.
They expressed determination to
hunt, even without the permission
of the whites.

ANOTHER DOUBLE MURDER AT
TRIBUTED TO THE ARCH
FIEND.
FATE OF A WIFE AND CHILD
OF ONE OF HIS CLERKS CONSID-
Erred NO LONGER A MYS-
Terry.
Shortly After the Monster Began
to Work His Notorious
SwindIes.

CHICAGO, July PA local paper
says: To the long list of murders
and other crimes directly traceable
to the archfiend, H H Holmes,
must now be added the mysterious
disappearance of Mrs. I. L. Conner
and her twelve-year-old daughter,
with a reasonable certainty that
they may have been disposed of in
the same manner in which the rest
of his victims met their death. Mrs.
Conner and her child were last seen
in the company of Holmes in this
city in 1898. Since then all trace of
them has been lost, and the shrewd-
est of detectives who, at the instiga-
ton of the Woman'S family, have
been working on the case are now
of the opinion that the finding of
their bodies is the only possible So
luton Of the mystery. There are cir
cumstances which, while at first
seemingly susceptible of explana-
ton, now point in the direction of
another double murder at the hands
of the greatest villain of modern
times.
Mrs. Conner came originally from
Davenport, To-, where she was mar
ried to I. L. Conner, a jeweler, nearly
fifteen years ago, probably in 1880,
when she was about eighteen,
though the exact time is unknown.
To them a child was born, and in
1889 Conner and his wife and girl,
then seven or eight years old, came
to Chicago. Holmes at that time
was just beginning to frame the
swindles for which he later became
notorious, and had started a drug
and jewelry store in Englewood.
Conner went to work for Holmes.
and moved his family into a fiat
over the store. 1t was not long after
this until Conner became aware that
the relations between his wife and
Holmes were not of a nature con-
sistent with the laws of society.
and he soon left her. Before long
Mrs. Conner and the child disap-
peared, and no trace of them has
since been found

TOLD OF HIS BOYS, CRIME.
COombs Believes They Were Insti-

NEW YORK, July 21.-The National
line steamship France, Capt. Hadley,
arrived in port this morning from Lon
den, after a moderate passage of six
teen days. Her chief steward, Mr..
Coombs, is the father of the two boys,
Robert and Nathaniel, who stabbed
their mother to death at her home in
Plaistow, an eastern suburb of London,
on July 10.
On her arrival in quarantine at 1890
this morning an Associated Press re-
porter boarded the France and talked
with Mr.. Coombs. He said he had al
ways lived on the best of terms with
his wife and two boys at their comfort
able home in Plaistow. His wife had
always been a good and kind mother to
her children and he was at loss to
understand how they could attempt the
dreadful crime. He was positive that
the man John Fox had some hand in
the deed. 1t was evident that both
boys had been Influenced by him. It
was learned that the man Fox was a

employed on the steamers of the Ma

BuTCHERED THREE.
Fiend in Louisiana Guilty of HOr-
ribIe Massacre.

NEW ORLEANS, July N.-Last
Friday night, on the Terre Haute
plantation in ST. Johns parish, a
terrible butchery Of human beings
took place. While Rosario Giordano
and his family were seated at the
supper table Joe Naska walked up
to the door, and, -leveling a double
barreled shotgun, fired. Mrs. Gior-
dano fell to the floor a corpse, and
the bullets that did not go through
her went through both legs of the
four-months old baby she held in
her arms. Giordano sprang forward
to clasp the infant, and the assassin
then fired again. The buckshot en-
tered the groin Of Mr.. Giordano. The
ten-year-old girl, on seeing her
mother fall, ran forward and re-
ceived a portion of the load of buck
shot that struck her father, The shot
entered her abdomen, literally tear
ing it to pieces. At the same time
little Nicolina fell to the floor
wounded through the head.
The assassin, Joe Naska, did not
move from the spot, but when he
saw Beneditto Giordano, nephew
Of the dead woman, and Charley
Columbano, coming toward him, he
coolly placed two fresh shells in his
gun and waited until they got very
close to him. Then he raised the
gun and fired both barrels, the two
men falling dead. Then the muir
derer, throwing his gun over his

woods. When the citizens ascer-
tained the extent of the deed, they
organized posse, and, led by the
sheriff, attempted to capture the
assassin. The wounded were brought
to this city. They are:
Rosario Giordano, the unfortunate
head of the family, aged thirty-four
years, shot in the left thigh. Mary
Giordano, aged ten years, shot in
the abdomen, the bullets perforat-
ing the bladder and intestines Nico-
lima Giordano, aged six years, shot
in the corner of the eye, the bullet
penetrating the skull. Joseph Gior-
dano, aged four months, shot in both
legs and in the head.
The two little Giordano girls at the
hospital will die; the four months
old baby will recover. The ASSASSIN;
has not yet been captured. Mr. Gior-
dano saws he does not know how-he had
offended Naska, who was a laborer or.

ogerseer, who is a friend of his, tols
the man to do some chores. Giordanc,

BRAINERD,- Mimi, July 21.-Pass-

ran down and killed an unknown man
four miles west of this city. The man
was walking on the end of the ties,
outside of the rail and paid no atten~
ton to the whistle which was blown
until the engine struck him, throwing
him twenty feet. When he was pick
ed up he was dead. In his pocket was
a German Bible, but nothing else by
which he could be identified. He was
about forty years of age, well dressed,
and the supposition is he was deaf or
