Hallet & Davis and Of Steinway & Co,
aud their losses are considerable. The
two Baptist societies lost large and
valuable collections Of paintings. books

$500, 900 and was fully insured. The
loss on paintings on the second floor
Is between $4,000 and 800. 600

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-The passage
Of the ssnAse's free coinage substitute
for the house bond bill in the upper
branch Of congress. which went through
Saturday on the final ballot by a vote Of

some dosultory spoechmaking based

should DO secured.
The urgent deficiency appropriation
bill has already been reported. and the
military academy and pension bills win

There is more or less executive busi.
ness 10 claim attention and the general
calendar has been growing rapidly as

that the murderer was a jealous husband

the husband suspected that his wife had

under her corset. Hsr corset was found
some distance from tho body badly
torn. as II forced violently from the
body. Il Is believed tho butchorknife
