Flames.


Flames.
Worcester, Mass, June 6.-The rem
dering works of John G.. Jefferds at
Quinsigamond, about a mile south of
this city, were totally destroyed by fire
about 1920 o'clock tonight, entailing
a loss of between $4,000 and $4,000,
partially covered by insurance. The
plant consisted of several wooden build
ings used for the manufacture of tai
low, glue, fertilizer, scraps for poultry
food, etc, and all were burned to the
ground, the only thing left to mark the
site Of the works being chimney and
big pile OF smouldering ruins.
The fire started in the main render
ing shop from some unknown cause,
and the inhammable nature of the
buildings, which were soaked with
grease, made any attempt to save them
useless.

WAS NORDHAUSEN MURDERED?
SUCH is THE BELIEF OF THE
AUTOPSY PHYSICIANS.
Agree That the Wounds Could Not
Have Been Self-InfIicted or
Accidental.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.-Disclos-
ures made to-day strengthen the theory
that the wounds received by C. c.
Nordhausen in the Baldwin Hotel early
Monday morning, and which resulted in
his death yesterday evening, We're
neither self-inf1icted nor accidental
This much was determined by Drs.
Morgan and Taylor at an autopsy made
to-day
At his own suggestion Nordhauser1
was at once sent to ST. Luke's Hospital,
where, as stated before, he died yes
'terday.
While at the hospital Nordhausen
made several remarks that aroused the
| suspicious of the attending physicians
that woman figured in the case, and
that some one other than the patient
had inflicted the wounds
The autopsy this morning confirms
so much of these suspicious as con-
Germs the wounds. 1t is the opinion
OF the autopsy surgeons that the wound
ON Nordhausen's head was caused by
some blunt instrument and by no
means directly from a fall Under the
wound the surgeons found a clot Of
blood on the brain.
A probing of the wound in the breast
| showed that the bullet had entered on
the left side an inch from the nipple
ana ranged downward, penetrating the
lung, and lodged in the back, from
whence it was extracted.
Every indication suggested the i'm
possibility of the wound having been
inflicted by Nordhausen. In fact DIR.
raylor says that when he was first
called to attend Nordhausen he OBJ
served that the wounds were between
twenty-four and thirty hours old. The
mans underclothing was saturated
with blood, which had partly dried.
Nordhausen's first statement to DR..
Taylor was that he had accidentally
shof himself about o'clock in uhe
morning, yet he did not explain why
he did not summon a physician until
1880 o'clock, or five hours later.
Drs. Taylor and Morgan agree that
the wounds could not have been caused
by an accident or by Nordhausen.
Further support of the murder theory
Is found In statement made by one
or the physicians at ST. Luke's Hos
pital
Yesterday he put the question blunt
ly to Nordhausen: who was the
woman who shot your" to which the
dying man responded: 20, never mind
it is too late now"
The police believe that Nordhausen
got into some trouble outside the hotel,
ana after being shot he went to his
rooms. lie was drunk when he first
appeared at the hotel, and the clerk had
to register him.

mileage granted by the committee to
several ATTACHES besides the statutory
ones, was DONE he said, on the personal
request of the attaches in question who
appeared before them to ask for it.
They knew, Treacy said, that there
was no authority for doing it, but as
the attaches had failed to secure per-
manent positions and as the committee
was sorry for them they decided to
recommend the mileage and leave it
with the House. In the House BeIshaw
moved to strike out that extra mileage,
amounting in all to $100 40, but was
voted down and the Assembly assumed
the responsibility.
AS for the per diem list of temporary
attaches, Treacy said he never saw and
never signed 1T. 1t was tagged ON to
the end of the report and, as he under
stood it their committee had only to
do with mileage and nothing to do with
ATTACHES. Treacy said he didn't remem-
ber whether he had signed a petition
for an attache or not. He had signed a
good many things since he had been
here but didn't remember to have done
that
Asked why he had not inquired more
particularly into the number of men
required to do the work he said that be-
ing a new member he had taken it for
granted, when Burnett was told it was
none of their business, that it really
was none, and he had given it no fur
ther thought.
It will be remembered that Chief
Clerk Duckworth received a telegram
Monday, mentioned in Tuesdays Rec
ord-Union, which backed him UP in
his refusal to resign and which was
signed by NJ. S. Merritt and F. H Lang
of Monterey, who, Duckworth claimed,
were, respectively, the Chairmen
of the Democratic and the Republican
Central Committees of Monterey Coun-
ties. Yesterday afternoon Judge Way
mire handed the committee a letter re-
ceived by him which read as follows:

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2I.-The law
lesness that has existed among the Chi
nese in Chinatown for years past, cul-
minating in the murder of Little Pete, -
has put Chief Crowley on his mettle, and
in the future the Chief intends to COM
pei the Chinese to abolish the customs
of their own country which they have
been permitted to indulge in unmo-
Tested.
One of the privileges granted the Chi
nese has been the indiscriminate use OF
firecrackers during their New Year fes-
tivities. This year that privilege has
been withdrawn, and the Chief has no
titled the Chinese Consul that the eX-
plosion of firecrackers is prohibited by
the law, and the Violators will be Sc
verely punished.
The conclusion of the Chiefs letter to
the Consul, which was sent to-day, con-
veys a world of meaning TO the Chi
nese. 1t follows:
Heretofore your country1nen have
been treated with great consideration by
the authorities of this city III matters
bearing upon the habits and customs of
their country at or about their New
Year. Recent events have shown that
a very large proportion of the Chinese
population are unworthy of being
granted favors or privileges of any kind,
because they do not appear to have any
respect for our laws, but set them at
defiance. When the ire of the American
people becomes aroused in this matter,
the Chinese will discover their mistake,
and this question will probably lbe set
tied in a summary Way.'

FELL TO HIS DEATH.
A Chinaman Plunged Down the Shaft
of a Hotel Elevator.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.-Chin
Wah Shing, Chinese employe of the
Palace Hotel, met an awful death this
morning by falling five stories down
through the elevator shaft.
The accident occurred about $50
O'Clock. At that time Chin Shing was
attending TO his duties on the fifth
floor, and decided to take the elevator
used by the attaches and also for
freight.
The elevator, in charge Of James
Gillespie, came up and stopped at the
fifth floor, where James Casey, car
penter employed about the building,
got in to ascend to the floor above.
When Casey entered Gillespie started
the elevator up and closed the door.
Before it closed entirely Chin Shing
rushed to the entrance to get on the
cage. He thought he could reach the
now ascending carriage, and before he
could be prevented, opened the door
and rushed to his death.
The unfortunate Chinese plunged
down the shaft and when his body was
picked up at the bottom of the we'll it
was a mass of broken bones, and hard
ly part had escaped injury.

WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS.
Proceedings of the National COnyen.
tion at Des MOines.

DES MONIES Ua.), Jan. 27.-Three
busy sessions were held by the National
American SuffragiStS to-day. The fore
noon was marked by a sharp clash be-
tween the Eastern and Western dele
gates, in which the West came off VIC
torious. 1t rose when the report of the
Committee on Campaign Conditions
was called for by Anna L. Diggs of
Kansas, a Populist and coworker of
Mary Ellen Lease. Mrs. Diggs was not
present, but sent her report.
1t stated that Republicans and DEM
ocrats were firmly set against woman
suffrage and there was no hope of
friendly action by them. The Populists
contained the greatest proportion of
advocates of suffrage, but the party
management had set its face firmly
against anything that would jeopardize
the industrial emancipation for which
the party is working. Mrs. Diggs re-
commended that political work be
placed in the hands of women affiliated
with the dominant parties In the sew
eral States. AS to Kansas. she said
since the defeat of the suffrage consstf-
tutional amendment In 1894 the cause
was hopeless there.
The report did not please the conven-
ton, and after it had been referred to
a committee for consideration a resolu-
ton was presented providing for CEN
sorship of all reports before being read.
The Eastern women favored and the
Western women opposed it as undemo-
cratic, and the Westerners won the day.
The report Of the Treasurer showed
the finances in good condition. Nine
teen States were reported in the con-
vention entitled to cast 225 votes.
The Committee ON Order of Work re-
commended that it be pushed, especi-
ally In California, Oregon, Neve.da and
Iowa.
