MIDNIGHT INCENDIARIsM.
The Northwestern Hotel Destroyed By Fine
Early Monday Morning.
The Deliberate Work of an Incsndia1y
Flend.

Shortly after two O'Clock Monday
morning, while VIM. Herian and Opera
tor Perry were seated In the office of the
new depot, strange person peered into
the window and quickly vanished. Per
ry remarked that person, unknown to
him, had appeared in the neighborhood
of the iepot= several times during the
evening, and, with this remark, the &C.
tions of the stranger were dropped. In
few minutes, however.a bright, glar-
ing light flashed through the darkness
and the two depot employees noticed
that it came from the Northwestern Ho-
tel, just across the street. They at once
rushed out of the depot and as they
neared the hotel they noticed strange
figure, in brown coat and sloueh hat,
sneaking around the corner in the direc-
tion of the river. When they arrived at
the hotel they noticed that the porch had
been saturated with oil and that the fire
was fast making headway towards the
building. Herian hurried of to give the
alarm, while Perry threw stones through
the windows to awaken the sleeping IN
mates. But several minutes elapsed
before the mill Whistles were heard and
several minutes more before the bell at
the engine house was rung. From that
time on the department rendered prompt
service, but in the interval between the
turning in of the alarm and the ringing
OF the bell the fire had made rapid head
way.
When the department finally arrived
on the scene, the entire front section of
the building was in flames. and the chief
efforts were directed to preventing a
spread of the fire to the adjoining lum-
Der yards. The occupants of the build.
ing narrowly escaped. and one man with
a wooden leg in particular had great diff.
ticulty in getting out of the building be-
fore being surrounded with flames and
smoke. But small portion cf the fur
niture, groceries aAd liquor supple.
were saved, and the loss on these will be
considerable, as the owner carried but
little insurance. The insurance on the
building itself, which was owned by
Herman Nage], amounted to 81 900. The
contents were the property Of VIM. Cor
des.
The building is complete mass OF
charred ruins and will have to be replaced
with an entirely new one.
Whoever the miserable scamp was who
ignitcd the building out of pure mean
ness, is unknown, but when one consid-
ers his action, he almost regrets that the
story of a hell with fire and birthstone is
not true.

It has been we'll known fact that for

It has been we'll known fact that for
many years past q large amount Of coal
has been stolen from the Chicago s.
Northwestern railroad yards and last
week detective was sent up from Chic
ago to investigate. The practice has
not been confined to coal alone, bst to
other articles, and it was only few
weeks ago that ten hogs belonging to
Chas. Stuebe we're removed from . car
while standing in the yards On Satur-
day night Mr.. Rily, the detective, caught
Chris. and Frank Lindmeyer in the act
of taking coal and he at once caused
their arrest. --.''- j..
Monday morning they were brought
before Justice Brandt, pleaded guilty
and were each fined So and costs. The
justice in giving his sentence told the
boys that he would be easy with them on
this occasion, but that they should be-
ware of provoking more severe penalty
by Il repetition of the offense.
In speaking with Mr.. Heidemap, the
agent, he says the company means busi-
ness and chat no further stealing will he
tolerated. For years they have been
cognizant of the continuous theft, but
have said nothing, believing that it would
never be carried to the excess which it
has. They yare now determined to put a
stop to it altogether; and they are right.
There is no more virtue in stealing from
the Chicago & Northwestern than in
robbing an individual, and the lesson
administered on Monday should serve as
reminder of the treatment that will be
accorded future offenders.

COMMERCIAL CLUB UNION
The Matter of Organization Is Discussed in
Meeting of Business Men.

Pursuant to the call issued on Wednes
day, meeting of business men was held
at Turner Hall Saturday evening. About
forty representative merchants and pro-
fesslonal men were present, and Peter
Scherer was selected to preside and Geo.
Graft to act as secretary. Nh. Roos then
addressed the meeting along the lines OF
his recent letter to this paper. He sug-
gested two methods of procedure-one
after the manner of that followed here
years ago through the medium of
Board of Trade, meeting only once
month to discuss matters of interest to
the city, and the other on the CONNER
cial Club order, having permanent rooms
where business men could meet at any
hour of the day to discuss matters or for
the purpose of recreation or entertain
ment. The latter plan, though more ex-
pensive, he urged as being accompanied
with more practical advantages to the
city and the individual members. Some
discussion followed and rising vote
Was taken to ascertain the sentiment of
those preselt. 1t was weQ-nigh unani-
NOUS in favor of some such organization
and committee was appointed by
Chairman Scherer to prepare an outline
report of the two plans suggested and
estimates OF the probable cost of each.
Messrs. Itoos, Crone and Steinhauser
were appointed on this committee and
thereupon an adjournment was taken un-
til next Saturday evening at ight o'clock.
The eighty y-sevcnth anniversary Of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln brought forth
new fund of anecdotes from the men
who still survive him and knew him best.
Among these is Gen. Palmer row Uni
| ted States senator from Illinois. Speaking
of some of Mr.. Lincoln's characteristics,
the general said the other day: "Lincoln
was not an eloquent man. He was a
strong lawyer, and an ingenious one
His stronghold was his ability to reason
| logically and clearly. He was a very
self-contaiEed man, and not easily ex-
cited. | remember the night when the
news OF his election was received in
Springfield. The patriotic ladies Of the
town were serving a lunch in an upper
room opposite the capitol. Mr.. Lincoln
was there, and lead the returns as they
were brought to him. The returns from
New York decided the day. Mr.. Lin
coin stood up and read the telegram
He was the calmest man iii the room
When he had finished, he said, sinply:.

cure with anything. | gave him a :25

especially for acute throat and lung dis.
eases such as colds, Group and whoop-
ing cough, and it is famous for its cures.

Monday night, announcing the sale of
half interest of the Winchester Re
peating Arms company to Hartley &
Graham of New York: you may state

can frame your language that there is

cannot imagine how it started. We
have not sold a dollars worth of in

have a very pernicious effect on our

Their Fine New Building Opened-A
Credit to the City and the Company's
Enterprise.
The o. A. Dorman company has
moved into its new building, 67S Chapel
street, west of the Elliott house. The
firm announces its change in small
hand book, printed on highly calender
ed paper, and in every respect a neat
and attractive pamphlet 1t contains
views OF the exterior and interior of
the building, the interior view conipris-
ing those of it's retail stationery de-
partment, Office and vast workshop.
The building Is probably one Of the
best arranged printing establishments
in the country, and is in every respect
model of it's kind, bringing into practi-
cal form the results of the firms TWEEN
ty-five years. experience
The firm started as bindery over
on State street, over the New Haven
Paper company. Later it moved to its
old quarters on Chapel street putting
in printing facilities and opening a
stationery department. About ten
years ago lithographing was added.
Since 1885 the firm has more than
doubled it's facilities in all the depart
ments.
The firms new building covers a
space So by 1856 feet Basement ceiling
IA feet high, first floor ceiling and fac
tory IS feet, salesroom 10 feet, all fitted
up in the newest and most approved
manner, and the salesrooms and offices
especially being models of high class
work Here is where all work starts.
In the typesetting department the ma
chinery is a marvel in printing. On
one side is the press room, on the
other the bindery. One of the notable
features in the press room is the Gen.
tury press, which made the worlds rec
ord at the Institute fair in New York
lately, making the fastest run ever
made on a cylinder press. Other feat
ures of the plant are the steam per-
forating machines and power number
ing machines. The Autograph depart
ment is one of the most complete,
though not as large as many, yet the
new machinery of latest type enables
the firm to produce work of the high
est order with great speed. In the
basement is the power room. All the
machines on the first floor are driven
from below, thus avoiding the dust and
dirt incident to belt Tapping where
belts are run overhead. Here also are
the twin engines of the latest gasoline
type, also the electric light plant and
water pumping plant.
The building is open for inspection
by the public, and a visit to it will well
repay anyone.
