Double Murder at Detroit.

After deserving his wife and nine
small children for three months and
refusing to con tribute to their support,
Frank Fadellin, of 1345 Medbury
avenue, Detroit, returned to the house
about s p. IN. and demanded admit
lance. The wife refused to let him in
on the advice of her brother Jos. Auer,
who was in the house. The family
thought he had gone away when sud
denly four pistol shots rang out and
one the windows was smashed by bull
let's which struck Mrs. Fadellin and
the oldest son Frank, aged II. The
boy sank to the floor dead and the wo-
man, who was only slightly injured in
the shoulder, ran to the front door and
called for help. A moment later steps
were heard on the veranda and think
ing the murderer was coming TO kill
the rest of the family Jos. Auer and
Jos. Fadellin, aged 16, each grabbed a
shotgun from corner and fired point
blank at man on the porch. With n
cry he fell to the ground and died and
il was then seen that it was not Fadel-
lin, but JOS Stadelmann, contractor,
who lived nearby and who had run to
the rescue when he heard the calls for
help lie had arrived just in time to
be mistaken for the murderer. He was
shot directly through the heart. Fad
ellin had disappeared in the darkness
by the time the police had arrived.
Later-Franlx Fadellin was arrested
the next evening as he was about to
enter the home of his sister, Mrs. Peter
Mandernach, 500 Erskine street At
the police station Fadellin readily adj
mitted having shot into the home of
his family, but he stoutly main tanned
that he did not know he had killed his
son or injured his wife. Not the slight
est regret did Fadellin express for his
crime. He said jealousy of his wife
was the cause of the shooting, and that
he wanted to kill Auer.

Gen. Neal Dow is Dead.

Gen. Neal Dow, the famous temper
ance leader of America, died at his
home at Portland, Me-, at the age of
% years. Neal Dow was the author
of the Maine prohibition law, which
was the first enactment of the kind

state or nation. He recruited a regi-
ment at the outbreak of the war, and
was in the Mississippi campaign with
Gen. Butler when the latter ran the
forts and took New Orleans. He was

News has been received by way of

floods that have visited China for many
years. Sixty villages near Tung Chou
containing over $4,000 inhabitants,
have been destroyed. There is no
means of finding out how many thou
sands have been drowned, but the
number is estimated by Chinese au-
thorities at $4,000 to 10000 The
flooded district is within IL miles of
PelIin, the capital of China, survivors
from the villages nearest Pelxin have
been allowed such shelter as they can
find in the city walls, but thousands
are without protection against the rain,
which continues to fall. The unusual

Thousands of dollars worth of cedar
the muck land a few miles east of
Metamora known as the cedar swamp.
Originally the fire started in the sec
ton visited by the late cyclone, where
much timber had fallen and is supposed
to be the work of incendiaries. The
extended dry weather has made every
thing in the vicinity highly inllamma-
BILE. Those who claim to know say it
will burn underground until flooded
this winter. All of the property own
ers in the swamp fought the fire for
several days and nights The loss is
rated at from 500 To $500 per acre, as
it stands, but much has been cut and
and piled and will be total loss.
Some 500 acres have been burned over
and the muck also destroyed. The eX-
act loss will never be known.
A big conhagration was caused by
the spreading of a large fire in Beat
ties woods two miles north of Utica.
The flames rapidly destroyed the
fine forest and required constant fight
ing in order to keep them from spread
ing to neighboring farms. The loss is
heavy. 1t is thought the fire was
started by tramps roasting green corn.
Everything is very dry and rain is
longed for.
Fire is sweeping over hundreds of
acres of pasture and meadows about
Benton Harbor, and causing hundreds
of dollars worth of damage. Farmers
are fighting the flames to protect their
homes. The railroads are compelled
to keep men fighting fire along their
tracks as the grass is so dry that
spark from an engine ignites it.
The present drouth is the most pro-
tracted that the southern counties has
experienced in at least 90 years. There
has not been drop of rain since Sept.
16, and only one-tenth of an inch has
fallen since Sept 1. Field fires on
lands skirting railroads are of daily oc-
currence, and much alarm is felt.
Forest fires are raging around Will
mot, and high winds cause intense eX-
element. Citizens are fighting hard
to protect property.

The broom and Irvine factories at the
Central prison at Toronto, Ont, were
almost totally destroyed by fire, the
loss being estimated at $3.50, 00O About
90 convicts were working in the broom
factory when the fire started and it
spread so rapidly that many of them
had to spring from the windows into
the yard to save their lives. There
they were formed IN line and marched
to their cells in the prison proper. In
side OF the prison pandemonium
reigned. The thick smoke rolling
through, mingled with the shouts of
the tiremen and roar of the flames
struck terror to the hearts of the un-
fortunates standing white-faced behind
their barred doors and great cry for
mercy and release went up from hun
dreds of hoarse throats. They were
assured of their safety by the cool
headed guards and the uproar subsidized
as they saw the uniformed men quietly
standing in their usual places. The
government carries no insurance, so
its loss is complete.

A mysterious aud terrible affair was
the fatal burning of the wife and three
months-old old babe of Louis Hey
thaler, sailor, at st. Clair. The
screams of Mrs Heythaler caused the
discovery of the fire by neighbors and
Mrs. A. ID. Cope, who was the first TO
arrive, says she found Mrs. Heythaler
near the sink beside the washtub in
the kitchen, her clothes all ablaze, and
she put out the flames which enveloped
the woman with wet sheet from the
wash tub, but Mrs. Heythaler was al
ready terribly burned. Mrs. Cope then
went into the bedroom and found the
bedding on fire and the BABY in the
middle of the bed burned to crisp.
Near the bed stood an oil can half full
while in one corner of the room as well
as in the parlor and in the pantry the
woodwork was ablazc. Neighbors eX-
tinguished the flames and cared for
Mrs. Hey thaler, but she died IN four
hours. 1t is the general opinion that
while temporarily insane the woman
stated the fires to Kill herself and babe
