Lamar's Worst Enemy Pays
Her Another Visit.
FIVE STORE ROOMS BURNED.
The Corner South OF the Depot To-
gether with two Large Ware
houses and Several Fine
Stocks Of Goods are
Burned.


Bell at the depot discovered fire in
the warehouse back of Markers store
and immediately gave the alarm. The
firemen aud hose cart were soon on
tbs ground, but the fire had reached
such proportions that single stream
of water had very little effect on the
blaze.
In very short time the flames
forced their way into the main store
room, and then began such fusilsde
of cartridges and fireworks that all
who were attempting TO save the
stock were driven away. A large
crowd had assembled by this time
and willing hands soon removed the
larger portion Of the goods in the
neighboring store rooms.
The fire spread rapidly and soon
burned its way north TO Railroad Ay-
enue, and was checked on the south
at the Conwell building. The flames
were under control at 1915, but not
until five large two story business
houses, two large ware rooms and
the city band stand were reduced TO
ashes. The FIRE was one of the hot
test ever known here, the heat at
times being so intense that people
were driven almost entirely of the
street The cause Of the FIRE is un-
known, and the location Of the first
blaze is question OF much dispute
among those first on the ground.
The second floor, besides the halls
the secret societies, was occupied as
lodging rooms by several parties,
most OF whom saved their effects.
The secret societies lost all their
property.
LOSSES ON BUILDINGS:
The south building in the brick
block was owned by the First National
Bank. Loss $1,000. Insurance $1,000.
The other buildings both brick and
frame were owned by the Bank of
Topeka Loss $4,000. Insurance

The band stand belonged to the
city. Loss 500.
LOSSES ON GOODS:
ID. G. Markers immense stock Of
hardware, furniture, etc, was total
loss. The store room, ware room
and the large room on the second
floor were piled full of goods. His
loss is estimated at $4,000. Insur-
ance $500.
q. A. Davidson, general merchan-
disc, lost $1,000 Insurance $4,000.
He saved the larger portion of his
stock, and is moving ii TO the Hess

Against Government Policy.

BERLIN, February BIN presenting
the Foreign Office estimates in the Reich
stag to-day. Herr Won Bieberstein. Min
lister OF Foreign Affairs. took occasion to
declare that nothing had happened to JUS
tify an outbreak Of Indignation on the
part OF the British public. The good re-
lations existing beween the ministries OF
Germany and Great Britain. he said,
had not for a moment been interrupted.
It was not true. he continued. that
President Kruger. OF the South African
republic, had appealed TO Germany TO
intervene Germany had only protected
her interests in the Transvaal under the
commercial treaty, concluded in 1855. He
would not attempt to argue against Eng
lish public opinion, he said, and he would
equally avoid anything calculated to pour
oil upon the troubled waters. but he
declared he would demand the same
right of free expression of the feeling OF
the people of Germany that England
exercised freely-the right to express the
anti-German feeling of England. This
was received with prolonged applause.
Herren Leiber and Won Kardorff gave
expressions OF thanks to the government
for its firm foreign policy.
Herr Richter declared that harmony be-
tween England and Germany meant
peace throughout the world. War. he
said, would work serious damage to Ger
many, but 1t would be disastrous TO Eng
land in India, in the Bosporus, and In
Egypt.
Herr Bebel, Socialist condemned the
congratulatory telegram sent by the En-
peror to President Kruger. Of the South
African republic. which. he said. had
justly aroused the Indignation Of England.
If the case had been one involving France
and Russia. instead of England, he de-
clared, the message would never nave
been sent. If such policy were ven
tured upon, he predicted that Germany
would be some day awakened by a dire
catastrophe lie then proceeded to at
tack The policy Of Germany in the East.

HOPED TO STOP THE MARRIAGE.
Parent Arrives Too Late 10 In
tercept His Daughters Wedding.

Mr.. and Mrs. f. l.. Robinson, of Roa-
noke, Va, were at Ford's Hotel on
Thursday, and barely made their de-
parture from that hosiery in time to
escape the father OF the bride, who was
in pursuit Of them.
The happy pair arrived Mt Ford's on
Thursday morning. and registered for
dinner the groom stating that he and
his wife would leave on the $3.50 o'clock
train for Newport News. Mr.. and Mrs
Robinson evaded the society of the
others about the hotel as much as pos
sible, but nothing was thought of this
until twenty minutes after they had
taken the omnibus for the Chesapeake
and Ohio depot, when a rather elderly
gentleman called at the Office and asked
for them in somewhat excited man
ner. The clerk. with a great degree Of
cheerfulness, informed the inquirer that
Mr. and Mrs. Robinson had gone.
The father was much surprised when
he learned that they had been married.
All he would say was that he had hoped
TO catch them before the nuptlal-knot
was tied. The groom was apparently
about 30. and the blushng bride looked
10 be in her teens" 1t is believed the
searcher gave up the chase when he
found that the marriage had taken
place.

Attention having been called to the
fact that Lucy Armitage, the faithful
old Virginia nanny" who for some
three-score years had been trusted ser
want in the family of the late Rev. DIR.
woodbridge, was recently buried I'm the
family's section IN Shockoe Cemetery,
the matter is being talked about by some
Of the section-owners
The family Of DR.. Woodbridge. wishing
that the servant who had been employed
I'm his family for three generations should
be buried at her death in their section,
in Shockoe Cemetery, in May. 1884, petit
tiosed the City Council to pass an ordi-
nance allowing this to be done. On the
18th Of that month such an ordinance was
approved, and though there was no re-
corded vote taken upon it, the impress
sion Is that no opposition was manifested
to its passage. The old servant was
buried In the Woodbridge family section
on the 1st of last January.
Superintendent Carter says that no OBJ
lection was made TO the burial of the
woman in the section at the time, and
that none has come TO his ears since.
II was to his knowledge, he said, however,
the first instance I'm which the remains of
a colored person have been inferred in
