THE FIRE AT WINDSOR.
Tho Bodies of an Aged Couple Found
in the Ruins.

The Bodies of an Aged Couple Found
in the Ruins.
Windsor, N. s.. Oct. 19.-The complete
extent of the disaster to the town of
Windsor is but now being fully dis
closed. At first the people were so
dazed with fear and excitement that
few fully appreciated the great catas-
trophe which had fallen upon them.
Standing on Ferry Hill one sees but a
stretch of smoudering ruins. dotted
here and there with tottering chimneys
and walls, which only serve to remind
the spectator of the solid architecture
Of the town.
Most of the people burned out es-
capped with little wearing apparel. and
the bitter cold makes the suffering in
tense The scene is pitiful. All through
the burned district are groups Of peo-
pie, sorrowfully viewing the blackened
embers of their stores or homes The
hope of the people seemed to have de-
parted in the few brief hours Of the rag
ing fire. Conservative estimates place
the insurance at s592. 900, not more than
80 per cent of the loss.
1t was thought at first that no lives
had been lost but yesterday the black
ened and charred skeletons of two per-
sons were found near the ruins Of a
house on st. Ann street. Further in
vestigation proved them to be the re-
mains of Patrick Kelly and his wife, an
aged couple. The skeletons were found
about six feet apart. and from their
position 1t is likely that the poor old
man and woman were sleeping quietly
in bed when the flames enveloped their
dwelling

Chicago. Oct. 19.-The fate Of Adolph
l.. Luetgert. accused of numbering his
wife and dissolving her body in a vat
filled with caustic potash, Is now In
finished his charge to the jury at 4:45
last evening, and five minutes later
the jury filed out. Not a word Of any
sort has come from the jury room, and
the chances Of long wait for the ver-
diet seems excellent. Rumors Of ten
to two for conviction, and later OF ten
to two for acGuistal floated around,
but there was no authority for either
story. A disagreement is predicted.
Shortly after D o'clock last night the
crowds in Michigan street were aug
mented by over score of men from
the vicinity of Luetgert's sausage fac
tory. They were unruly and demanded
admission to the court building This
was refused them, but they were per-
sistent, and as the police on duty were
entirely incapable of handling the
crowd patrol wogon filled with officers
was hurried to the scene. When the
officers reached the building they drew
their clubs, and, aided by score of
deputy sherlffs, drove the crowd back.
The friends of Luetgert had by this
time been reinforced by about 200 other
persons from the crowd. But they re-
treated after few vigorous appllca-
tions of the clubs. The mob took up
q stand near the middle of the street
and jeered the police, while small boys
with tin horns added their quota to
the discord which swclled from the
would be rioters. who loudly proclaim
ed their right to enter the building.

ADMIRAL WORDDN DEAD.
The Veteran Naval Officer Succumbs
to Pneumonia.
AS COMMANDER OF THE MONITOR

He Conducted the Famous Engages
ment Which Resulted in the De-
struction Of the Confederate Ram
Merrimac In Hampton Roads In 1869.
Washington, Oct. 19.-Admiral John
L. Worden, retired died in this city
yesterday. He commanded the Mon
itor during its engagement with the
Merrimac in Hampton Roads during
the late war. In 1886 he was retired
with the full rank and pay Of an admi-
raj, the only instance of the kind. He
also received the thanks Of congress
for his gallantry during the war. Pneu-
monia was the immediate cause OF
Admiral Wordens death. He was so
years of age, and up to last Saturday
was in very good health. Then the dis
ease from which he died developed from
q cold.
Admiral Worden rendered valuable
services throughout the war. but the
crowning achievement of his career was
In Hampton Roads on March 9, 1862
when he commanded the famous Mon
itor in her duel with the Confederate
ram Merrimac. This engagement has
passed into history as one of the most
wonderful naval battles on record. On
July II following President Lincoln ap-
proved the Joint resolutions Of congress
rendering the thanks of congress and
the American people to Lieutenant
Worden and to the officers and men
under his command. In 1862 another
vote of thanks was passed by congress
to Lieutenant Worden, who had mean
while been promoted to be a comman-
der.
His victory was received with great
demonstrations of joy throughout the
United States, and in the cities Of the
Atlantic coast north Of Chesapeake bay
public meetings were held and resolu-
tions of gratitude to Lieutenant Wor-
den passed with great enthusiasm. Ad-
miral Worden bore his honors simply
and with the modesty that character
lied him through life.
After the war his principal service
was as superintendent of the Naval
academy from 1869 to 1874. and as COM
mander of the European squadron from
1874 to 1877
Admiral worden was one of the few
remaining heroes of that old regime
which made the United States navy
so glorious in its achievements and
helped to make such an indellible mark
Of prowess and patriotic devotion upon
the pages Of his country's history. For
nearly two thirds Of century he was
naval officer. having been appointed
a midshipman from Fishkill, Duchess
county, New York, Jan. 20, 1884. over 63
years ago. He was native of New
York state, born at Sing Sing, West
chester county. His career was full of
exciting incidents. and his name long
ago became synonym of the navy for
all that meant honorable devotion to
duty under the most trying circum-
stances.

Occasional Slight Reactions, but No
General Lowering Of Prices.
New York, Oct. 1S.-For the first time
in several weeks prices of stocks were
at no time during the day below the level
of those prevailing at he close the night
before. There were occasional slight re-
actions today. with no better apparent
cause than sympathy with sugar, which
was itself markedly strong and was
turned backwards at times only by profit
taking. Speculation halted during tho
morning In expectation of a decision by
the supreme coure at Washington in the
Nebraska maximum freight rate case.
Although this decision Is expected to be
In favor of the railroad and was looked
to to give an upward impetus to prices,
the announcement that the handing down
of the decision had been postponed was
followed by Il decided Increase in the ac-
tivity of trading, an activity attending
the rise of prices instead of the decline
