NOW GUARDED BY POLICE,
Three Efforts to Burn a Big
Apartment Building in
Chicago.
Determined Efforts of Firebugs
Cause Panic Among the
Occupants.

CHICAGO, Ill, July 4.-Three deter
mined but unsuccessful attempts were
made to burn the Mecca apartment build
ings, the big fats occupying an entire block
at Thirty-fourth and State streets, Tuesday
evening. The greatest excitement prevailed
among the members of eight families oc
cupying apartments in the buildings; and
thousands of people gathered in the streets
to watch the tiremen. The first fire was
discovered in the basement at 7:30 but
prompt work by the fremen prevented
further damage than was caused by smoke
The firemen had only just returned to
their houses when another alarm came in
from the same quarter. The second fire
was found in the basement at the end far
thest removed from the first blaze. The
arrival of the Fire Department the second
time threw the occupants of the build
ing into state of panic. Men,
women and children ran through the
halls and into the street terror stricken,
but the quick work of the firemen re-
assured them and they returned to their
abodes. After the first attempt police
were summoned. and it was while they
were being assigned to their places that
the second fire broke out.
At just 81 another alarm was sent in.
This time the fire was discovered in the
basement, but on the side near the north
end of the building. The firemen, however,
were at the building in jiffy and the blaze
was extinguished. A search disclosed that
infammable material had been placed in
several parts of the building, and the at
tempt at arson was so plain that Lieutenant
Bontield sent large detail of police to
guard the building all night. The affair
will be investigated in the morning.
The building is owned by Paul j. Sorg,
the big tobacco dealer of Middletown,
Ohio, and during the Worlds Fair was
known as the Mecca Hotel. The structure
is valued at 100000 and is insured for
$175,000.

ALL THEIR THROATS CUT,
Editor Fields Kills His Wife
and Baby and Then
Himself.
The Woman Had Evidently Con-
sented to Die With Her
Husband.

MEANWHILE, No, July As. A.
Fields, until recently editor of the Post at
Polo, cut the threats of his wife and baby
with razor this morning and then ended
his own life in the same manner. The
bodies were found in a garden about 200
yards from the house of his father-in-law,
about five miles northwest of here.
The family was visiting there at the
time. A note was found in Mrs. Fields
pocket saying that everything they had
was to be left to her mother, Mrs. Thomas.
1t is evident that Fields and his wife had
agreed to die together. for she went into
the house after they went out and put on
an old dress and went back and the deed
was done.
Fields was lawyer by profession and
was about 80 years of age, but bad made a
failure of his practice. Two years ago he
attempted his own life by throwing him
self out of a second-story window. He was
in good circumstances.

INJURY AND DEATH.
Terrible accident at the Buffalo Drifting
Park.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July Awhile 10000
people sat in the new grand stand at the
Buffalo Driving Park at $50 o'clock this
afternoon section of the stand fell. The
cause was weak stairway, which held
over forty or fifty people at the time. I'm
derneath the stairway was wineroom,
which. had been crowded with people only
a: moment before. They were climbing
back to their seats in the stand to witness
the start of a race when the accident &C.
Cured.
In caying in so suddenly the. stairway
took with it section of the grand stand,
and piled about forty people-men, women
and children-in a mass. Then the i'm
mense crowd stood up in their seats and
rushed toward the stairway and then back
from it again. In the stampede women
tainted and were trampled upon or jumped
from the stand to the ground, and in other
ways contributed to the excitement.
After the stand had been cleared the
people were held back with difficulty while
Ahose who lad fallen were extricated.

dents, two of them fatal. Up 20 1880 P. NJ.
there were fifty-four casualties reported by
the police. Thomas Baehr, aged 10, was
shot in the head by a stray bullet and
instantly killed. John Kern, aged B, was

serious cases:

SACRAMENTO, CAL, July 4.-Little
Albert Farr, aged years, has not as many
fingers tonight as he had this morning
when he got out his toy cannon to cele-
brate the glorious Fourth. He loaded the
gun to the muzzle, lit the fuse and then
sat down to await results. The fuse burned
out, as he supposed, SO he picked up his
artillery and turned it over to see what was
the matter. There was really nothing the
matter, as he soon discovered, for it went
off in his hand. The palm was terribly
lacerated, and his little finger has not been
found.

WELLINGTON, OHIO, July AT s
o'clock fire broke out at the rear of the
Methodist church, on Main street, in a
small house owned by C. w. Horn. A
brisk wind was blowing from the south,
and almost as soon as the small town
Fire Department was ready to begin work
dozen buildings were abaze.
In thirty minutes the fire attacked six
teen buildings and progressed practically
uncontrolled. kilograms were sent to
Cleveland, Oberlin, Lorain and other
places asking for assistance
At 10 O'Clock an engine and hosecart ar
rived from Cleveland, but up to midnight
no response had been received from the
other towns. The Cleveland fre-fighters be-
gan working in practical way, but the

been destroyed and the fire is making
steady and rapid Roadway.

GOING BACK TO THE FOLD,
Negroes Have Lost All Faith
in the Pledges of the
Democrats.
Prominent Colored Men Returning
to the Ranks of the Repub-
lican Party.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July .4.-Follow-
ing the example of H. c. Astwoods, the
chairman of the Colored National Demo-
cratic League, who recently left the Demo-
cratic party in disgust, other prominent
colored men are returning to the Republi-
can fold.
The experience of these nagroes who
made themselves feature in the
campaign that resulted in the
election of Grover Cleveland to the
Presidency has been particularly har-
rowing. They were promised by the
Congressional committee that as soon as
Cleveland was elected three big places at
least would be given to their leaders and a
plentiful supply of minor Offices appor-
toned among the rank and file.
r. G. Still of Philadelphia, who had
charge of an important organization of
colored Democrats, sought recognition
as Minister 10 Liberia for his
services. He was ignored by
Cleveland, who chose instead colored
preacher from Pennsylvania with Repub-
lican leanings. Still came to his senses
and quit the Democratic party.
c.. H. J. Taylor of Kansas, who was ap-
pointed Register of Deeds in the district,
was the only colored Democrat to land in
a good office, but this was due more to the
persistency of Senator Martin than to the
Cleveland managers in keeping their
pledges.
Now comes C. C. L. Barnes of Philadel-
phia, once president of the Negro Demo-
cratic Club. Barnes was a clerk in the
Pension Office during the campaign. Now
he is out of the Government employ.
He was unfortunate or unwise enough
to testify against Taylor in re-
cent libel suit and he Immediately
got the sharp ak of Hoke Smith
laid upon his official neck with sufficient
force to deprive him of his official living
AS consequence Barnes is mad. He is
as indignant as Astwood and Still were at
their treatment.
Astwood, who had 'whooped up' the
colored vote for cleveland and tariff re-
form" sadly remarked, as he returned to
Republicanism and his church duties that
Cleveland did not seem to think so much
of colored Democrat after the election as
he did before.
Barnes says more than Astwood. He re-
cites in detail the infamous treatment
members of his race have received from
the Representatives of the slave power"
now in control of the Government.
Under the present administration, he
saws, the negroes have been ANONYMOUSLY
treated. These are few of the reasons"
said he, ''that have forced me out of the
Democratic party and l am willing and
anxious to retrieve the mistake of my life
by doing all in my power to relegate that
party back to an oblivion from which it
should never have been allowed to escape"
Taylor is about the only colored Demo
crat left. His Office pays $4,000 year.

An ENoCH ARDEN STORY.
DR.. Brotcn Leares Jail to Find HIS Eif,
Married again.

Married again.
MACON, GA, July A peculiar Enoch
Arden story, which is international in its
bearings, comes from Waycross. DR..
Brown returned a day or two ago after an
absence of twenty-five years and found his
wife the happy spouse of well-to-do citi-
zen of this place.
Brown is Frenchman with an interest
ing history. When he left this country he
went to France to look after legacy. A
quarrel with his lawyer resulted in the
murder of the latter and Brown was sent
to prison for twenty-five years. The leg
acy was used up in the endeavor to acquit
him and when he was freed he was penni-
less. His first act on being released was to
come to Georgia to see his wife, whom he
had loved all the years of separation. She
had long since given him up as dead and
had been married twice. Her present hus-
band is a Mr.. Thomas, who lives near
Sheriff Mill, in this county. Browns grief
on finding her welded to another man was
intense. He asked her and her husband
to visit him. but she refused to grant his
request. Brown has gone away again,
discouraged and heartbroken.

HIS Wife Is Suspected.

LINNEUS, Mo-, July At 6 o'clock
