AN IOWA FIRE.
Two Good Business Blocks at Corning
Wiped Out

OMAHA. Neb.. Oct. "a special to
the Bee from Corning, Iowa, says: Two
of Corning's best business blocks were
entirely wiped out by fire this morning.
The fire originated in the H. ]. Reyn-
olds elevator. The flames made quick
work Of this and spread to two box cars
in the Burlington yards. When one of
the cars was almost consumed, it was
discovered that an unknown man had
either perished in the flames or had been
murdered and placed there by tramps.
The city fire department was unable to
cope with the fire as the boiler at the
water works station is not in condition
for work and was undergoing repairs.
While the elevator was burning and the
burning mass was well under control
most of the citizens repaired to their
homes but were Immediately called out
again as strong wind had risen and an
other conf1agration had started in A. M,
Beymer's hardware store. This fire
spread so rapidly that in less than two
hours two of the best blocks were in
ruins and 5000, 900 worth Of property had
been destroyed.

The Official Not Allowed to Visit Amer.
lean Prisoners, Who Are Kept in
I.oathsome Prison Cells.

NEW YORK, Oct. "a special to the
World from Havana says: Weyler is
fooling Lee. The order prohibiting the
American consul-general from visiting
the military prison keeps him from per-
sonally investigating the condition of
Americans imprisoned there. He has
to rely upon what Weyler tells him. In
their last interview General Lee COM
planned of the unsanitary condition of
She cells the American prisoners were in.
Weyler replied boldly, ''Oh, I have at
tended to this matter. They have been
removed to cells Nos. Al and 49,"
General Lee retired fiattered at his
supposed success, not knowing the
Americans have always occupied cells
II and AZ. Those cells, by the way, are
gloomy and so damp that water oozes
from the ceilings and trickles down the
walls, wetting the floor, which never
dries. In one of these wretched cells are
Melton, the American newspaper corre-
spondent, and George Aguirre, locked up
with q man suffering from smallpox. The
disagreement between Weyler and Lee
continues, the arrested Americans suff-
ering the consequences.

AsHLEY-BALDwIN.
The Plaintiff Only Waiting for the
Judges Decision.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. s.-The de-
cision Of the Ashley Baldwin damage
suit now rests with Judge Slack. Ar
gument was closed today and the case
submitted.
Miss Ashley was present during the
argument, and several times gave way
to tears. She was severely denounced
by Attorney Highton in his closing ar
gument for the defense. Mr.. Highton
asked the court to treat the plaintiff as
q wanton and adventures. He charged
her with perjury in her testimony a.
to the Col. Pope incident. and said that
in her relations with Pope she had
proved herself designing woman and
adventures. Counsel considered the
Pope and Baldwin incidents to be in all
respects similar. The success of the
plaintiff in levying blackmail in one
case, he said, had prompted her to at
tempt the same thing in another. Mr..
Highton asked the court to rebuke Miss
Ashley by giving judgment against
her.
1t was the closing argument Of At
torney Crittenden in behalf of the plain
tiff that brought tears to the eyes of
Miss Ashley. He denounced Baldwin
as heartless man, who had blasted the
plaintiffs life and made her an outcast
She was unable to secure employment
because other women scorned her and
refused to work in the same shop. Bald
win, he said, had thrown the girl aside
without means Of any KIND. Baldwin's S
child was threatened wiAi starvation,
and should 1t live it must go through the
world under the dread shadow of lille
gitimacy.
A more outrageous case. said Attor-
ney Crittenden, had never been heard in
a California court. No amount of dam
ages, he said, could compensate Miss
Ashley for the wrong she had suffered.
rhe case, he urged, was one calling for
an extreme amount of vindictive dam
ages in the way Of punishment. It was
pointed out that Baldwin was rich and
able to pay any sum which the court
might fix. Crittenden asked, in con-
clusion, that judgment be given in favor
Of Miss Ashley for $4,000, the full
amount for which she sued.
Judge Slack, in submitting the case,
said that he would render his decision
in writing.

President Brown of the robbed bank
there saying one of the robbers ana
murderers has been taken. dead, after
hard fight, fourteen ,rhiies. east of FL
more, MINI. The dead bandit had a
roll of stolen bills. The marshal Of
Bancroft was killed in the fight, which
was fierce one. The man killed was
probably ]. D. Sair. as he was the faster
wheelman of the two.
A telegram from Emmettsburg, Iowa.
says one of the robbers passed through
that town early today with a posse in
pursuit. The village has added 5000 to
the rewards offered.
At Estherville, Iowa, man answer
ing Pratt's description is in custody
awaiting Identification.
Four men are now dead as the result
of the robbery.
Fairmount, Mimi, special to the
Journal gives a more detailed account
of the fight with the bank robber, from
which it appears that the bandit COM
mitted suicide after being tracked down.
He had been tracked to deserted house
-
ter approached the fugitive sprang out
and shot his pursuer dead. He then
mounted his wheel and started Off, but
at this juncture his tire collapsed and
he fled on foot to neighboring corn
field. A bullet from the revolver of the
deputy marshal winged him, and as the
posse came laundering up he sent a
ball through his brain. His evident fear
of being lynched was well grounded.
The dead man is the larger of the two
robbers, and. according to the Fair
mount account is Pratt. The other is
said to be surrounded in the woods be-
tween Forest City and Albert Lea,
Mimi, and his capture before nightfall
is considered certain.
