DICK,S HOTEL BURNED.
4 Famous Did Landmark in Newtown
 Destroyed.


 Newtown, Sept S.-Dick's hotel, owned by w. A. Leonard a we'll known summer hostelry and one of the land marks of the town, was entirely de- stroyed by fire this afternoon, as were also the barn and connecting sheds and ice houses. The loss is about s20.000: insured. None of the guests lost any of their effects.
 The fire started in the loft of the barn from some unknown cause, and before the volunteer brigade arrived the barn was mass of flames and had communicated, by means of the con- meeting shed, to the hotel proper. When the fire was first discovered as sistance was rendered by several of the guests towards saving the horses car- riages, etc, in the barn, and they were all gotten out. Later, however, all pos- sible assistance was needed to remove the hotel effects. but everything was saved. The spread of the fire to the hotel caused considerable confusion to some of the guests, and rumors were rife as to a number of valuables lost in the excitement but later investiga- tion showed that the supposed missing articles were only misplaced.
 The hotel was a three-story frame structure and was owned by w. A. Leonard. The house of R. H. Beers adjoining was also badly damaged. The guests of the burned hotel found temporary accommodation at the Grand Central hotel, which is in close proxim- ity, and also among private families.

 New York, Sept. 8.-John Jacob As tors electric launch was sunk in the North river off Thirty-fourth street to- day by coming in collision with the Fleet River steamboat Mary Powell, which was bound down from Kingston, N. Y. The engineer of the launch, a. Norwegian, was rescued from the water by the crew of the steamboat and land ed when the boat docked at the Albany day line pier here. John E.

He says that he blew warning whistles, slowed down and finally stopped and then the launch, which never altered its speed or course, crashed into the port side of the Mary Powell, forward of the wheel.

 Its Way From the Yukon.

S.-According to the information brought by steamer National City from St. Michels, an im- mense amount of Klondike gold is on it's way from the mouth of the Yukon to San Francisco and the Sound. The National City reaches here after a. voyage of eleven days from St. Michaels, bringing three passengers who just made the trip down the Yukon, besides important leters from the Klondike re- zion. One letter received by G. Mur- ray of this city from pr. J. W. Me- Kennan says:
 we leave tomorrow for the Yukon. Two steamers arrived last night from Dawson loaded with wealth. The mines are the richest on earth. Men can get S20 per day, but they must have pro- visions as they are scarce"
 Captain Anderson of the National City says he knows that a large amount of gold came down the river from Dawson, but he could not give figures, as the miners were very reticent about their work The captain said the Ex- celsior left St. Michaels for San Fran cisco and he believes she will arrive some time to-day.

MAY BE ANOTHER MURDER
AGED WOMAN FOUND INSENSIBLE
 IN 4 POOL OF BLOOD.

Mrs. Daniel O'Brien of Trumbull Evi-
 dently the Victim of a Brutal Assault
 Another Trumbull Tragedy-oficers at
 Work on the Case--Near Scene of the
 Nichols Tragedy.
 Westport Sept. S.-The Fairfield county authorities, who for weeks have been pursuing a fruitless search for the murderers of Marcus Nichols at Trum- bull, have their attention diverted by what promises to be another murder.
 The victim is Mrs. Daniel O'Brien, aged seventy,who was found this morn ing by her husband lying insensible on the floor by her bedside in a pool of blood, which flowed from a deep gash back of the left ear. The woman's tongue was almost completely severed and her face was badly battered in. Dr. L. B. Day, who was summoned, has little hopes of the woman living through the night. Deputy Sheriff Kemper has been called to the case and the matter will be at once inves- tigated.
 The husband of the woman expresses total ignorance as to how his wife re- ceived her injuries, and the woman has thus far been unable to give any infor- nation.
 The couple are reputed to have amassed considerable wealth, but they live in a veritable hovel and their ec- centricities have acquired for them more than a local reputation. The couple have always lived very amicably and as far as known neither of them was addicted to drink. The first inti- nation of the affair was given this morning, when Dr. Day was called to the house by the husband and the affair was so suspicious that the deputy sheriff was immediately notified. It was at first thought the woman's wounds might have been caused from falling out of bed, but the wound back of the ear was apparently caused by a sharp instrument. There is no evidence of any attempt at robbery.

It consisted of most ex- cltlng running race between trotting. horse to a sulky and Mounted Police man Frowley in the first heat of the A'l' class for trotters. As soon as the word was given for the heat the bay stallion Bellton, with John Kelly in the sulky, started in wild gallop. Kelly pulled until the reins broke, and then stuck to his seat in the sulky as the horse went sailing along ahead of the entire field. At the head of the stretch crowley put spurs to his horse, and the race to the wire was close and eX- cltlng. They shot past it like team. ana the policeman leaned out and, catching the rein, stopped the flying steed. While this exciting race was in progress the fleet bay gelding King Chimes had got his head in front and won the heat easily by two lengths. With MISS GateWood second and Val ence third. King Chimes won the next two heats easily, though in the third Geers made resolute drive with Val ence, but was half a length behind the winner.
 Between heats the chestnut mare Marion Mills, who paces without sulky or driver, went an exhibition mile She dld 1t in the remarkable time of 2:07A.
 Only four starters responded to the bell in the $3,00O 2:30 class. and The Monk was a hot favorite at $50 to S10 for the field. Nancy Time had the pole and she acted so well that, in spite of one of Geers' electric finishes with The Monk, she landed at the wire first by half a length. In the second heat the mare led again to the head of the stretch, but little break settled her chances, and The Monk won by a length. In the next heat The Monk won by four lengths, and he landed again easily owing to Nancy Times repeated breaks. For a grand circuit the attendance was light, al- though the betting was lively.

GETTING uHEIR MINES READY.
Coal Operators Preparing for a Resump-
 ton of Business.

Pittsburg, Sept S.-The coal opera tors are unusually active getting their mines ready for operation. Many are ready for a start tomorrow. No doubt is expressed as to the result of the con- vention at Columbus and an order de- claring the strike off is expected before the close of the day.
 The mules that have been enjoying the past two months in pasture have been called in, and the blacksmiths at the mines have been busy all week get ting them ready for work in the mines.
 District President Dolan, of the min- CTS organization, was complimented by the operators for the stand he took in the convention yesterday. A number of lake shippers arrived in the city from Cleveland during the day and are busy making contracts with the pro- ducers for coal. There is no quibbling about prices and twenty cents above the mining price is the generally ac- cepted rate. These prices will likely be maintained until after the lake con- tracts are filled. The producers are perfecting their organization and de- clare they will sell no coal under twen- ty cents ton above mining.

THE DIFFERENCE.
Why Good Steers Are Better Than the
Fattened Cows.

There a large number OF people who
have never stopped to consider the real
difference between the steer and the
old COW. but it is a fact that there is a
difference and the steer brings IS cents
per hundred more in the open market.
The steer is always distinguished by his
plumpness, the meat being nicely round
ed 0st and beautiful to the eye of the
connoisseur. From the fat steer can be
cut the choicest porter house steaks and
the best OF surloins, to say nothing OF
he substantial rounds.
This morning people who passed down
Second street stopped and looked at the
handsome sign which Charley Yund had
strung up in front of the Pacific mar
ket. 1t was a hind quarter OF a prime
steer, and inside the rack was hung full
OF just such beef. 1t costs money, but
the Pacific market is determined to have
nothing but the best. This is duly ap-
preciated by the public and it Is no
wonder that the old reliable market
stands at the head O: the procession.
