and Wisconsin Furnace
DESTROYED.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Sept. 23.-At 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon fire broke out
in the southwest section of the Moore q
Galloway lumber yard on the lake front
A gale of forty-fve miles an hour was
blowing and it was at once realized that
the fire would be a disastrous one. The
entire department was summoned, and
calls for help were sent to Oshkosh, Nee
nah and Appleton. Oshkosh responded
sending an engine and 5000 feet of hose
Notwithstanding the hard fighting on the
part of the departments to check the
flames, they spread rapidly. The COM
pany's barns, and the warehouses filled
with sash and doors, were soon in ruins,
and at 3 o'clock the flames got foothold
in the west end of the mill and in four
minutes the structure was doomed.
All the tramways and tracks were
burned and eight Northwestern cattle
cars and two Wabash box cars were de-
stroyed The blast furnace of the Wis
consin Furnace company also took fire
and was quickly in ruins. This plant
was idle, and all insurance upon it was
cancelled two months ago, after the $10,-
900 fire on the furnace, which destroyed
the hoist. The buildings and machinery
were valued at $4,000 The Moore &
Galloway company's loss is $3.50, 900,
with about 100000 insurance.

Oshkosh, Wis, Sept. 19.-[SpeciaL]-
Thomas Doyle, the accused freight car
thief, pleaded guilty in the municipal
court this morning and was sentenced to
three years at Waupuu.
There is quite a romance connected

strange girl visited the courthouse and
asked Jailer Jeschke as to the where
formed that he was in court. Jailer
Jeschke had his curiosity aroused by this
wish to see the prisoner. AS she did
not reply, he sid: 'You love him,
don't your to which she nodded assent.
After waiting a short time Desmond and
cuffed together and escorted by Sheriff
Horn. The two lovers greeted each
other in a familiar way, but exhibited
no unusual manifestations. Only brief
couple when Doyle called to the jailer
and asked if he would extend the time
of his return to the Jail until they could
procure the services of justice. Mr..
Jeschke acquiesced willingly, though not
knowing what was about to occur. JUS
tice CroZier's consent was obtained and
after arriving at the jail he was in

organ stopped outside of the jail just
as the ceremony was being performed,
and commenced to grind out Lohengrin' S
wedding march
The young bride returned to her home
in Fond du Lac. Her parents were
shocked when they learned of her es-
capade, but decided to keep her at home
Doyle was seen this morning and stat

They were so coldly received by the BUSH

and disgust. Both these gentlemen were
active and effective workers for the
union of the two cities last spring, but
they openly declare now that had they
