FIRE IN HOLMES CASTLE.
Convinced II Was OF
Inccndirry Origin-Thc Quinians.

CHICAGO. ILL, August l9.-Acting on
information furnished by the Fire De-
partment to-day by residents of the
neighborhod of the Holmes building in
Englewood, Marshal Kenyon found a can
half-filed with gasoline underneath the
secret stairway on the second floor, and
he Is convinced that the fire last night
was Of incendary origin. Two men We're
seen to enter the building between and
8 y. NJ. Half an hour later they came
out and walked rapidly away. 1t Is be-
lieved the men placed the oil there and
attached a slow fuse.
Police-Inspector Fitzpatrick said to-day
that he knew of no order for the release
of the Quinlans or owens. and denies that
they have left the city.
The Castle was discovered afire at
1880 O'Clock this morning. After an
hour OF hard work the firemen got the
flames under control, but not until after
they had left the building in condition
to become more of a curiosity than IL
was while being searched by the police
for evidences Of crime
An immense crowd gathered, and du-
ring the fire the remarks indicated that
the neighborhood was not In the least
sorry TO be rid Of the notorious building.
Some one caused considerable excitement
for a time by asking where the Quin-
Ian family was. Pat Quinlan and his
wife and Farmer Owens. II was said. had
been released by the police Saturday.
but none of them had been seen around
the building since. After the fire had
reached the second. floor IL began con-
suming the Quinlans' Effects. and for a
time IT was thought that some member
of the family might be in the apartments.
Investigation disclosed no sign OF life.
and II was afterwards said that the
Quinlans had gone TO the farm In Mchi-
gan. where their daughter, Cora, has
been staying since their arrest.

There were several interesting features

worst of 1t. Still. Norfolk got taste of
he pie, and in the fifth inning Manager
Fate gave notice that he would play the
game under protest. Secretary Small
would do the mountaneers great favor
BY transferring Mr. Rafferty, to some other
Eeld of usefulness
Another feature of the game was the
humber OF double plays made. There were
Xix altogether. and Of these Norfolk Sc
.ured four. For the first few innings the
home team felded slowly, but after that
they got in the game and gobbled up
Everything that came their way. The
visitors did the bulk of their hitting in the

JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW.
A Negro WOmnn's Vain Endenvor
to Escape the POlicc-Other Items.

For some time past the residents OF
that vicinity have complained OF the ex-
istence Of disreputable house In the
alley between First and Second ana Du-
val and Baker streets. Concluding they
would be annoyed no longer. warrant
was sworn out last night and placed IN
the hands OF the officers Of the Seconn
District for service. About 10 O'Clock the
party which consisted OF sergeant
Brooks and Policemen Poitaux, Foster.
and Curle. descended upon the house ana
arrested three white women, by whom IL
was kept. A search OF the house was
begun, and I'm few moments negro
woman and her escort were espied. BE
fore the officers could lay hands on the
woman she made her exit through the
front window, only 10 fall into the hands
of blue-coat waiting below. No one
else was found. and the party OF hve
was speedily driven In the departments

into their house and stole SIS In currency,

which were some valuable articles or

A strange coincidence in connection
with this robbery IL the fact that MT
NJ. II. Epps, son OF Mr.. Oscar Epps,
had handsome hunting-case gold
watch and a valuable chain stolen from
him last week from the Virginia steam
Laundry, where he works. The cases
have been put into Sergeant Halls hands
and at present he thinks he has clues to
both the guilty parties.
on Saturday night some time between
the hours OF $3.50 and II O'Clock some
one entered the store of Clements *
Son. east Main street, and stole Il
valuable watch belonging TO the junior
member Of the firm. from his coat, which
was hanging I'm the rear part Of the
store. As soon as the theft was diD
covered the police were notified and de-
tectives put on the case.
The thief. however. became conscience
stricken. and yesterday morning returned
the watch and begged not TO be prose-
cuted.
Tom SnP-h tcoloredD was arrested yes
terday morning and taken 10 the Third
Polce-Station by Sergeant Epps, charged
with obtaining sA75 under false pretences
