WESTMINSTER CHURCH..
The Beautiful Sanctuary In Minne-

Minneapolis, Sept. S.-Westminster
church. corner Nicollet avenue and
Seventh street, IA attacked by the
fire fiend early this morning and, as a
result, one of the oldest church socie-
ties in the city finds itself without a
home. The origin of the fire is
shrouded in mystery. There was not
a light in the building, and upon in
vestigation this morning it was dis
covered that yer the electric cur
rents were turned off. No explanation
can be given but that the editice had
been sen on fire by some one as Yet
unknown. At first every one seemed
to believe that it vas caused by the
crossing of electric light wires, but the
discovery this morning that the u r
rent was shut off and that not a fuse
was blown, shattered this theory.
The estimated loss, according to F.
3. Long, Of Long & KEGS. who had I'M
der his charge the construction of the
church, will be In the neighborhood of
$4,000. To owe this loss there is In
surance on the building amounting to
$65,OOO; on organ, $4,000; and on the
furniture about $1,000.

city, made an assignment to-day TO

this company. which held a reputation
of being the largest concern of its
kind in the Northwest, are said to be
about 100000, and it is said that the

tons. The announcement of this fail
ure came like a ~thunderclap to the
business men of this city. who have
all believed that the firm of ]. j.
O'Lcary & Sons was one of the
~staunchCst in the Northwest. Many
refused TO believe the report, and
maintained that this firm, which had
weathered the financial storm so
bravely without the slightest danger
to either their business or their credit,
could not now. just as the bright sun
on the commercial heavens was emery
ing from behind the dark clouds Of

1t Is Declared Epidemic in the East
End,

London. Sept. 6.-SmallpOX has Of
ficially been declared epidemic in the
East end, or working residence dis
trict of the city, and in consequence
there is great alarm throughout the
metropolis. The first caSe was re-
ported about three weeks ago, and
yesterday the number Of cases under
treatment aggregated 4S2. The af-
fected district includes such thickly
populated parishes as Whitechapel,
Shoreditch, Bethnal Green and Poplar.
The fact that the plague has broken
out while the weather is so mild ex-
cites grave apprehehs.ons concerning
what may be in store for the metrOpo-
lis next winter, when climatic con
ditiOns will be favorable to it's spread.
The local government board, which is
the sanitary department of the gen.
eral government, has issued an ener-
getic circular to medical officers Of
health, superintendent of poor houses
and other asylums, and to captains OF
police stations where tramps are
lodged over night, in which stress is
laid on the point that there is great
risk Of smallpox being spread by tran
silent paupers. Special orders are
given for the isolation of such persons,
and other directions are given with
the view of checking a spread of the
epidemic. Considerable alarm is also
manifested outside of London, and the
authorities of the large towns are
adopting precautionary measures.

TRIPLE
An Indianan Kills His Wife's Fath-
er and Brother, Then Suicides.

Sullivan, Ind, Sept. S. - 4 double
murder and suicide occurred last
night. James Ward killed Aaron Hunt
er, his father-in-law, and John Hunt
er, his brotherin-law. Ward cut off
the head Of the elder Hunter and split
wide open the head of the son. Fam
lily differences are supposed to have
led to the crime.
Last night Ward and Aaron Hunter
were in town, and had apparently ar
rived at a satisfactory understanding.
Ward insisted, however, upon the old
man going to the woods for the pur-
pose of hunting coons. The hunt was
in progress and Hunter was sitting on
a stump when Ward hit him on the
neck with an TX. His head was split
wide open. When Hunter fell off
Ward struck the PROSTATE body again,
cutting off his head. The AK sank into
the ground. The villain then pro-
ceeded to kick the head of his victim
about. He then went home. awoke
his wife, and told her to call her
brother, as he and the old man had
freed a coon, and ask him to come and
help fell the tree. The younger Hunt
er got up, went out into the yard with
only is night clothes on, when Ward,
with a stroke of the AK, felled him to
the ground. Young Hunter died al
NEST Immediately, with his head split
open. Ward then told his wife to
keep quiet about the whole affair:
that il she did not she would suffer
the same fate as her father and broth
er. Ward then went about half a
mile down the road and stopped at
Beckels' home. He told Mrs. Beckels
that he had killed both the Hunters.
Before many hours the crime was gen.
orally known and a posse consisting OF
miners and farmers started on the
hunt for Ward, armed with various
weapons. Ward had two revolvers,
and this fact was known by his pur-
suers. The posse decided to hang
Ward. Just as the posse had located
him and surrounded the field in which
he had been hiding, a single shot was
heard. The posse closed in on the
spot from whence the firing had come
and found Ward on his back on the
ground with a revolver in either hand,
and a bullet wound under the left ear,
He was already dead.

Ii Eayors Missions.

New York, Sept. 6.-RObert L. Speer,
secretary Of the board. of foreign mis-
slOns of the Presbyterian church in
the United States, received a letter to-
day from Rev. /. w. Houston of Nan
King, China, dated July y. The letter
contains a copy of the proclamation
Issued by Ii Hung Chang, the vice
roy, which not only requires the
Chinese to refrain from molesting
Missionaries, but speaks in terms of
praise Of the work done by them.
DR. Speer says that the proclamation
illustrates the folly of forming judg-
ment of the whole of China from con-
altlons existing in one section. and it
Is more significant because Marking
LAS always been a more or less turbu-
lent center.

They expected TO bring their prisoner

,~coreanolis. Sept. 6.-Mrs. Nels Ny
naar VINO formerly lived at 2oO2
ANU, fourth street south, Is alleged
saye committed suicide day before
Wardav Mrs. Nylander was a
!esng woman only twenty-eight years
va Mrs. Nylander was insured in a
U%Oiasburg company for $1,000. 1t is
.IIaged that Mr.. Nylander has told
a".ious stories as to where he was on
,Sa afternoon in question. The neigh
Us have become somewhat sus-
Oirions. A woman is now on trial for
p,he alleged murder of her companion,
9TH insurance as the motive. lrsur-
'nce was the motive in the Cling MUIR
;ar And the upShot of the whole
."atter is that there will be an au-
.nnSv held on the body of Mrs. Ny
,npder at the morgue, and the body
niIl then be buried. An inquest will
snToy and Nylander will be given an
o%nportunity to tell of his whereabouts.
Tbe immediate cause of the inquest
uas the information, communicated 10
the coroner by +. l.. Mason, an attor-
nov in the office OF Shaw x Cray, who
lives in the vicinity Of the Nylander
residence. 1t seems that he and Ny
lander belonged TO the same church
organization, and it came to the ears
of the pastor and some of the MEM
hers of the congregation that there
was a good deal of talk developing,
some of which intimated that Nyland-
or might be responsible for his wife's
death.
Under those circumstances it vas
thought best that an investigation be
held and Nyander be given an OPP
portunity to clear his skirts of the
imputations which + being made.
Mason says that Nylander told him
that he went to a labor celebration the
day of the suicide. Mason himself
was there, however, and had no recol-
lection of having seen Nylander.

Butte, Mont, Sept. S.-A profound
sensation was caused in Butte today
by the issuance at the instance of the
county attorney warrants for the the
arrest of several men in high standing

forgery of city warrants on different
FUNDS. The police so far have at

City Clerk Perrin Irvine and another
on his assistant, +. l.. Miller, but up
to a late hour hey had not been
found.
They are believed to have skipped,
and kilograms for their apprehension
nave been sent out. The arrests will
result III ~far-reaching and startling
disclosures, and the names on the war
rants indicate that few men connected
with the late administration will es-
cape being drawn into the scandal that
Will result. The suicide of eX-Treas-
urer Jacobs several months ago, who
was short about $4,000 in his ac-
counts, resulted in an investigation,
out of which the present disclosures
grew. 1t is claimed there was a con
spiracy in which many officials were
involved, and that fictitious warrants
were drawn and cashed a~ggregating
many thousands of dollars. The pros
ecuting officers claim it will amount
to from $4,000 to 100000.
