but have been directly instigated by officials
in the Corean capital with the purpose of

Building ResuIteiI-Several People
Injured-Faulty Brakes.

S. TORONTO, Ont, Jan. ga few minutes
before O'Clock this morning fire was dis
covered in the basement of the Globe
building, on the corner of Young and Malad
streets. The alarm given, but before
the first reel arrived. flames were pouring
from every window. from garnet to base
ment. AS the wind blowing briskly
from the south and the fire threatened to
spread, another alarm was given and the
entire fire department was soon the
spot. Chief Ardagh and five men of the fire
brigade assembled to the cornice running
around the first story of the Globe office
and were breaking windows to introduce
the hose. when the northwest WALL from
the cornice up, five stories, fell with
crash. The men leaped into a pile of
bricks. Chief Ardagh was badly hurt about
the head and had to be removed in cab.
Robert Bower received such injuries that
he was taken to the hospital where he
subsequently died. Charles Smedley, Fran
els Forsythe, Robert Foster, James, Dav-
idson and Harry Saunders were severely
injured.

cost of $4,000, with plant valued at $780,

ronto Lithograph Company, which occu-
pied floor in the building, loses all its
presses and many valuable stones. From
the Globe Building the flames crossed the
street to Harry Webb's restaurant, and
the building was Quilted from roof to cellar.

COO. In the rear of Niche g. Co., Italian
wine merchants, the building was also
slightly damaged The wind then changed,
blowing from the east, and McKinnon &
Co.'S wholesale dry goods store was
soon wiped out of existence, entailng a loss
of $4,000 on the building and 100000
stock, which had only been moved in q
few days ago. Owing to Chief Ardagh hav-
ing to retire early from the scene the fire
brigade did not work to the best of adj
vantage. The men worked bravely but they
lacked direction. The Mail, and World, and
News have offered their services to the
Globe to enable them to produce their edi-
tons usual.

lsDtJBERS, Pa, Jan. 6.-The large general
stores6f Bell & Lewis, at this place, was
burned to the first story to-day and the
stock sof goods was ruined by water. The
loss will reach $4,000. The establishment
was known as 1.-The company's store" and
is generally thought to have been owned
by Bel, Lewis G. Yates, the coal operators,
whose miners are out strike 1t is the
prevailing belief, that the fire was incen-
diary in it's origin.
1t was learned here to-day that the min
efs who are strike held a secret meet
ing at Reynoldsville yesterday afternoon.
What was done at the meeting cannot
be learned further than that a call was
issued i for a general meeting of miners
and citizens to be held at the opera house
in this city Tomorrow morning at 10 o clock
at which time the strikers will publicly
define their grievances and ask for aid
and sympathy from the public Fifteen hun
bred men are out, the apparent cause Of
the strike being the discharge of four
hundred men from the Bell, Lewis & Yates
mines last week. The miners of this re-
gion only resumed work in June after
pfotracted and fruitiess struggle of several
months duration, and it Is believed that
the present movement is but the beginning of
a bitter fight between capital and labor in
this District. The miners say they believe the
company is trying to disrupttheir union and
they will fight until starvation again COM
pelS them to submit.

ENGINEER GRIFFEY"S DEATH.
His Widow Seeks to Recover Heav.
manages Therefor.

His Widow Seeks to Recover Heavy
Damages Therefor.
The case of Lucy Griffey against the
Southern Pacific Company for $50. 900
damages for the death of her husband,
Ed Griffey, an employe of the company,
is on trial before jury In Judge John
sons court.
Griffey was a locomotive engineer. and
ia October, 1892, had taken locomotive
from this city TO the Facaville division to
relieve a disabled one there. Having
done SO. he started for Sacramento, but
at Davisville, while going at good rate
of speed, he encountered locomotive
engaged in switching there. The engines
were reversed, but Grit1ey, fearing the
result OF collision, jumped from his cab
and broke his neck.
His widow brought suit for damages
in the sum named, and the case came on
regularly for tria, yesterday before a
jury composed OF George b. Baker, Bar
ton Daniels, q. +. kuchler, w. w. Bas-
sett, e. II. Halverson. Harvey White,
David Ahern, Charles Barnes, Z. Knauer,
q. W. Harlow, Robert Williamson and
Walter Longbottom. The plaintiff is
represented by w. A. Gett, Jr., and the
defendant by General A. l.. Hart. The
only witness examined yesterday was
A. ID. Wilder, Superintendent OF the di-
vision on which the accident occurred,
by whom the plaintiff sought to prove
that Griffey was faithfully dlscharging
his duty at the time and that the acci-
dent resulted from carelessness on the
part of others of the company's en-
ployes.
The defense contends that the deceased
was running his engine at an unnecessa-
rily high rate of speed, and that he lost
his life by his own carelessness or bra
vado.
The case will probably be before the
court for several days.

CONKLIN DISCHARGED.

A Method of Collecting a Debt That
Did Not Work.
William Conklin was examined on a
charge of grand larceny yesterday in the
Police Court.
He was brought back from San Joaquin
County by Deputy Sheriff Kelly, being
charged with taking some horses upon
which he had gwen ohattel mortgage in
this county down there.
Ii. r. McNoble. his attorney, claimed
that the warrant had not been legally
served, the deputy having no authority
to do so. He moved that the charge
be dismissed, and the motion was denied.
The evidence for the prosecution showed
that there was balance owing on the
| mortgage and that the mortgage had
died Conklin had taken the team down
into San Joaquin County 10 work on The
| railroad and was expecting his son out
! from the East, TO help him financially.
| A Deputy Constable demanded posses
/ sion OF the horses or payment OF the BAL
ance, which WAS claimed to be S9S 81.
/ Conklin said that there was only bal
| ance OF about Sl3 due and he had receipts
/ for the payments made by him.
| COnkhn, by advice of his lawyer, re-
/ fused to give them up, as nobody had
/ any authority to collect the note until the
! estate was administered OIL, and the Con-
/ stable had not the note. He said that his
! son would soon be there, and if the note
/ could not be settled in San Joaquin
/ County they would come up to this
/ county and settle it.
! The defendant testified that when the
/ Constable demanded S98 or possession of
! the team he admitted that there was no
administrator OF the estate OF lie Favre,
/ TO whom the mortgage was given, and
/ his lawyer advised him not to surrender
the property or pay the money till the
note was produced and proper authority
shown. Defendant then proposed to wait
till his son came up and then g0 TO Sac
ramento and settle the matter but few
days atterWard he was arrested.
Conklin was discharged, the court and
City Attorney intimating that there was
no reason why he should have been ar
rested.
After the case was concluded. and his
client discharged, Mir. McNOble stated
that he did not wish 10 lie under the inn
putation OF compromising felony, and
would have much preferred trying the
+ case in full and taking chances for
! his client, but the charge had been
/ brought simply for the purpose of collect
/ ing the amount due, and that the attor-
/ ney who had at first appeared as assisting
/ in the prosecution having minated that it
could be settled out of court he had
given his personal note for the S9S and
secured the release of the mortgage on
/ Conklin's team. The Judge and City
Attorney were highly indignant at hav-
/ ing The court made medium for collect
! ing debts.
