was arraigned before Justice Potts, in the
First Criminal Court, this morning, and
was fined $40 and costs for stealing wood
from the lumber yard of Henry Hauck,

Guiding several finished wagon poles, was
found in the cellar of the house he occu-
pied. Mr.. Hauck has been losing wood
in large quantities for several months.

him how it came to be in his cellar. On

mitted that he sent his children out to
pick wood, and that they had probably
taken it from the wood yards. He was

 TOLEDO, O., Feb. 20.-One of the most expensive fires that has visited Toledo in the past two years was the burning of the Lake Shore & Michigan South ern railway elevator "A." The fire broke out at 1O:30 o'clock last night, and as the building was located on the river front, the fire department could do nothing but let it burn and en- deavor to save surrounding prop erty. According to the best figures obtainsble, there was 2sO,000 bush- els of wheat stored in the elevator, and about 60 carloads which were unloaded, making S25, ,oOO bushels. The loss on elevator and grain will aggregate $355,OOo.

Nebraska's Last Treasurer Tied Up Much
 Money in Aiding Banks.
 LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 20 A statement of the financial condition of the state treasury of Nebraska shows that ex- State Treasurer J. s. Bartley has a deficit staring him in the face of over s5OO,0OO. Coupled with this is little item of S27, ,OOO, which ex-State Auditor Eugene V. Moore, also republican, needs to account for in order to balance his books. Mir. Bartley is unquestionably the victim of a too lenient policy in assisting his friends in financial way. When the panic of 1893 struck Nebraska he de- posted large sums in various state banks to help them through the crisis. Several of these subsequently, failed and others were so closely pressed that it was impossible to discharge their obligations. Bartley says that in the course of time every cent will be paid.

Mckinley has ten dered me a portfolio in his cabinet. While it is not definitely settled which one, am assured that it will be one which I can accept"
 Published reports that Col. J. J. Nc Cook, of New York, had been rendered the portfolio of attorney-general can not be verified. His name is believed to have been presented by friends in connection with 8 cabinet position for several weeks. It is thought, how ever, that Judge McKenna may be at torney-general and that McCook's name in that event may be under con- sideration for secretary of the interior, which, with Long, of.

Got Hold of the Wrong Can.

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 20.-The family of Jacob Ciclelez, of 663 Canal street, was almost completely wiped out of existence yesterday morning by horri- ble holocaust of flames. Eight people were burned in the flames. Of these it is believed five will die. The injured are at the Cleveland hospital. Jacob Ciclelez, his wife and his three children were in bed. John Ciclelez, brother of Jacob, arose about five o'clock to light the fire. He took what he thought was the kerosene can. In- stead he got hold of the gasoline can.
