MOUNT EOLY0xE COLLEGE FIRE
Flames Destroy the Main Structure and the
GynnasiUm-Much of the Contents
Saved

SOUTH HADLEY, MASS, Sept 81
The main Mount Holyoke College build
ing was destroyed by fire early this even
ing, together with the two wings and the
gynaslum. The loss will probably amount
to 5000, 900.
The fire started under the gynasium
and spread rapidly to the remainder of
the building. The flames were discovered
at :45 O'Clock. There was not fire pro-
lection enough about the building and
assistance was called for, but as the water
had to be pumped nearly half a mile, it
afforded no check to the flames. Much of
the furniture and contents of the build
ing, including a large part of the students
property, was saved and no one was in
jured.
Tonight most of the students are scat
tered about in the houses of the towns
people, the hotels and the churches. while
others have gone to Holyoke, Northamp-
ton and other nearby points.
Mount Holyoke College is one of the
oldest institutions, if not the oldest for
the education of women, in the United
States. 1t is the outgrowth of the Mount
Holyoke Seminary, which was founded in
1886 and opened November s, 1887.
Mary Lyon, an educator whose name is
almost a household word in Massachu-
setts and New Hampshire, was the
founder of the seminary, and from the
opening of the institution until her death
in 1s49, she was the principal.
The original charter was enlarged in
1888 and the name of the school was
changed to Mount Holyoke Seminary and
College, and again IN 1898 full :college
curriculum was adopted, the charter
was again amended and the name changed
to Mount Holyoke College Power was
given to the college to grant any degree
conferred by any college in Massachusetts,.

AN ASSASSIA'S SUICIDE.
]. c. KasSebaum Kills Himself
at Meridian, Miss, While
Under Arrest.
Tried to Escape After Hiding Under
House for Two Days AMI
N ghts.

MERIDIAN, MISS, Sept. 27.-J. G.
Kassebaum, who assassinated A. 8. Barnes
in his Photographic studio Thursday
night, was located in this city last night
and placed under arrest, but before he
could be removed from the place in which
he was found he placed a pistol to his
head and fired bullet into his brain.
After committing the murder Kasse-
baum went to the residence of Mrs. Frank
Howard, where his wife boarded, and, re-
moving his shoes, secreted himself under
the adjoining residence, where he had re-
mained since that time. He came out
last night and went to Mrs. Howard's and
met his wife and Mrs. Morris. the latter of
whom. in Mrs. Howard's absence, has
charge of the household.
He asked Mrs. Morris IL he could remain
there, and received negative reply. A
young man who also had rooms in the
house was informed of Kassebaum's pres
ence, and he at once went for officers.
Upon the arrival of Chief of Police Nelson
quite crowd had congregated and sur
rounded the house, and Kasse baum s
escape was rendered impossible. The
police entered the house and demanded
his surrender, telling him there was no
chance for him to get away. Without any
effort at escape Kassebaum drew q pistol
and fired a shot through his temp The
only statement that Kassebaum made, SO
far as can be learned, was made to Mrs.
Morris. He told her that he killed Barnes
in self-defense

PASSING OF a NOTED HALL.
S nee It's Erection in 1880 It Had Been
Prominent Feature of the
"West End"

CONEY ISLAND. N. Y, Sept. N.-The
sensational event of the season at this
famous summer resort occurred tonight
in the total destruction by fire of the IA
nous wooden Elephant" This counter.
felt presentment of the monarch of the
jungle was the most prominent feature
of the district known as the West
End" or Coney Island proper As
the season is over no cause for the fire,
which started about 10:3o P. NJ, can be
learned.
Having been built many years, the huge
wooden carcass was dry enough to burn
like tlnder. and in less than half hour
the main supports were so weakened that
the whole structure collapsed. The close
proximity of the Elephant" to the Sea
Beach Palace, large music-hall, made the
prospect promising for an extensive con-
fagration and three alarms were sent out,
bringing ire apparatus from all the sur
rounding district. The danger TO the
palace was over as soon as the Elephant"
collapsed, and it escaped with but slight
damage.
The Elephant" which has had many
Vicissitudes, has been used of late for an
exhibition hall, museum of curios and
restaurant purposes. Originally built in
1880 by syndicate of Philadelphia capi-
talfsts it has changed hands several times,
the present owners being Hall & Garrison
of Philadelphia.
The loss is about $4,000. The effective
work OF the firemen was greatly hampered
by poor water supply.

and get sail on the vessel, but at 1 o'clock
on the morning of the 25th steamer was

TREATED FOR A TUMOR
Frau Klafsky's Death Caused by
the lncapacity of Her
Physicians.
The Prima Donna Killed by an Oper-
alton Which Proved to Have
Been Unnecessary.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Sept. 27.-The
death of Frau Katrina Klafsky-Lohse,
the prima donna, which occurred in Ham
burg last Tuesday, is greatly regretted
here, and the circumstances attending her
demise are being widely discussed. Her
friends are highly indignant at the med
ical treatment which she received, and
declare that she was the victim of the
incapacity of the Hamburg physicians
who attended her.
The story of the cause of her death has
many versions, but the one most gener-
ally accepted is that while.she was sing
ing Ill the United States she was struck
on the head by a topping cupboard, which
caused a painful Inflammation of the
scalp. She never fully recovered from the
effects of the mishap, and later the pain
became almost unbearable. The Hamburg
physicians diagnosing the case pro-
nounced her afflicted with tumor of the
brain, which could only be relieved by the
operation of trepanning, which the doctors
decided to resort to.
The operation was performed, with the
result that IL disproved the tumor theory,
but killed the patient. The fact was that
her alment Vas really of comparatively
trifiing nature.
Frau KIafsky's funeral, which took
place at Ham burg on Friday, was at
tended by a large mum Der of her profess
sionsl and private friends. The body, in
accordance with the wishes of the de-
ceased lady, was clothed in the white robe
of penitence worn by her in the character
of Elizabeth in 'Tannhauser." The
chorus of Mozart's Magic Flute" was
sung at the grave.
Madam Klafsky was the daughter of an
obscure Hungarian shoemaker, and she
married Jewish tradesman in Leipsic be .
fore she became prominent as a singer.
After her marriage she abandoned her
profession, but her husbands failure in
business compelled her 10 return to the
stage, after which she rapidly rose to
cele britv.

Money Outlook.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Sept 27.-Sen-
ator Palmer and Ex-Governor Buckner
came down from Philadelphia to-day in
their special car, reaching here at half
past o'clock. General Buckner stayed
only a few minutes, continuing on the
same train to Louisville, but General
Palmer. who was accompanied by his wife,
son and daughter-in-law, went to the
house of his son-in-law, Edwin G. Crabbe,
a chief of division in the Pension Office,
where he will stay until tomorrow. His
arrival in Washington was known to only
a few intimate friends, and consequently
very few callers disturbed him during the
evening. He was very cheerful regarding
the political outlook in general way, al
though declining to commit himself TO
any specific numerical claims as to the re-
suit of the campaign.
The enthusiasm of the big Baltimore and
Philadelphia audiences, he said, im-
pressed him with the strength of the
sound-money feeling.
Tomorrow General Palmer expects to
be busy most of the day with matters con-
nected with his Senatorial duties which
demand att ,ntion, and he intends to dis
pose of accumulated mail at his Office in
the morning, besides calling at several de-
partments. If possible, he will leave to-
morrow afternoon for his home at Spring
field, where he will remain the rest of the
campaign, unless Unexpectedly called out

$4,000 to $4,000 on the event, besides

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Sept. 27.-Woli
Brothers, the largest wholesale dry-goods
establishment of this section, was closed
by attachment shortly after last mid
night. During the night attachments
amounting to $1s4, ,4O2 so were issued on
the stock and real estate of the firm and
placed in the hands of the Sheriff. The
total liabilities will reach $50O,OOO. The
assets are placed at $475, 900.
The firm had plenty of assets, but owing
to the present financial condition could
not reallze on any of them. Eastern cred
itors demanded their money and refused
to grant extensions, despite the fact that
the firm had paid to Eastern creditors
within the last four months upward of
$90,U00. The firm of Wolf Brothers was
posed of Isaac and Joseph Wolf, and
was the only exclusive wholesale dry
goods house in the State. The firm owned
several of the handsomest business blocks
in the city.
