Our loss by fire year ago aids
in giving warmth and sincerity to
the sympathy we desire here to
extend to Editor Hoskins of the
Rolla Star, whose Office and entire
outfit we're totally destroyed by
fire during the high wind that pre-
vailed last Friday night. Such a
bright star-both editorially and
typograpically-as the Turtle
Mountain Star can lily afford to
be hidden--even temporarily.
May it soon re-appear and twinkle
more brightly than ever.

Tragic End of a Wall Street
Broker Signs Of Bru-

NEW YORK, Dec. %, 1Ss7.-Arthur
Maurice, who had been member of the
New York Stock Exchange since Novem-
Der, 1864, died at his home in this city to-
day. Apoplexy is supposed to have
caused his DEATH
Later in the day the police learned that
there were several suspicious circum-
stances connected with Maurice's death.
Upon investigation it was decided to
notify the Coroner, who will hold an in
quest.
1t is believed that instead of being
case OF death from natural causes, Mr..
Maurice either committed suicade or was
murdered. He was found dead in his
room by his wife at a fashionable hotel
where they have lived for some time
1t was reported subsequently that Mr.
Maurice's nose was fattened as If by a
blow, and that there was a deep cut over
one of his eyes. In the bathtub, near
where he was found was said to have
been discovered hammer with blood
stains on it,.
Mr.. Maurice had appeared well for his
age, and had shown of late no signs of
illness. A son, Arthur B. Maurice now in
Paris, and an unmarried daughter and his
wife survive him. Mr.. Maurice came to
this country from England when he was
u years of age. He became a clerk for
William Gould, a stock broker Thirty
five years ago Mr. Maurice branched out
for himself and he had been very success

IN PRESENCE OF DEATH.
Trial of the olive PecIxer Murder
Nearing 1ts Last Siayes.

NORFOLK, Va, Dec %, 1S97.-The third
day of the trial of John Anderson for the
murder of Mate Saunders of the schooner
Olive Peelker,- began with the argument
by counsel upon prayers for instructions,
the jury of course being removed from
the court room. District Attorney White
contended that there was no evidence to
Justify plea of self-defense, and. there
fore he said, manslaughter as an element
in the case was removed and it was muir
der pure and simple.
In making out his instructions Mr..
White said he had done so in a judicial
spirit not as an advocate, for he felt no
one could approach the subject without
feeling that he was in the presence of
DEATH He argued that there was. abso-
lutely no evidence introduced by the de-
tense to reduce the crime to manslaughter
and, therefore, it was the jury's duty to
bring in verdict of guilty or else ac-
quit. There was, he said, no middle
ground.
Mr.. Mcintosh, counsel for the prisoner,
claimed that the st. Clair case, which
Mr. White took as a precedent, was not
parallel to the Anderson case. He desired
the Court in it's instructions to take into
consideration Anderson's credibility as
witness, and in doing this to place before
the jury the hypothesis of manslaughter
as well as that of murder. Argument
upon the matter of instructions occupied
two hours.

Case Tuesday Next.
JUDGE HUDSpEYH GIVES EVIDENCE

1t is rumored that the Grand Jury yes
terday afternoon found an Indictment
against ex-Assistant Prosecutor Joseph
NJ Noonan and Lawyer Alexander Simp-
son on the evidence furnished by Editor
Elbert Rappleye, of the Journal, ana
Edward Pidgeon and Louis Beck, the re-
porter and detective hired by Mr.. Rap
pleye to induce Noonan and Simpson 10
commit the crime they are charged with
having committed. The rumor comes TO
sThe News" on very good authority.
The only witness in the case before the
jury yesterday afternoon was Judge Hud-
speth and he remained in the room only
a few minutes.
Chief Murphy, who is also witness in
the case, was called in, but it was to give
testimony in another case.
Assistant Prosecutor Klink was sum
moned before the jury presumably for
the purpose of drawing the indictment. 1t
was rumored that possibly Mr.. Rappleye
and Beck and Pidgeon might also be in
dicted for conspiracy; but that rumor
proved to be without foundation.

cone of the People'), the Russian who
was arrested at the British Museum and
remanded at Bow Street Police Court on
December 16, charged with endeavoring
to persuade several persons on various
occasions to assassinate the Gar was
brought up on remand today, in company
with man named Weirzbecki, printer
of the paper mentioned, who had since
been arrested An discriminating article
in the marc de Voletz' was produced in
court In it the writer declared the pol
lev of the Russian Reyolutionists was the
same as that of the Terrorists of twenty
years ago, and pointed out that Czar
Nicholas had already reigned three
wears at a period when the Revolutionist
campaign ought to be summed up in the
word "Regicide'' If he had been assas-
sinated on the day of the funeral of Gar
Alexander H. the article continues, either
a revolution would have broken out or
Liberal constitution would have been de-
clared. Each new autocrat, according to
the writer ought to have been given a
year. and if he had not granted a consti-
tuition at the end of that period, he ought
TO have been attacked without pity.
Detective Melville testified regarding his
visit to Bourtzeff's room and the finding
of documents relating to Nihilism, the
assassination of Alexander H., the death
of Stepinak and to the present Gear.
II appears that BourtZeff escaped from
Siberia to Constantinople, where the Rus
sian police tried to seize him on board a
British steamer, but the captain of the
vessel prevented them from SO doing.
Both prisoners were remanded.

COULD NOT SAVE THEIR MOTHER
Mrs. Freda SchIIptz Dies in a Fire
After Heroic EGorts at Rescua

NEW YORK, Dec. %, 1S97.-Mrs. Freda
Schlintz, an aged and crippled woman,
was overcome by smoke and died when
within few feet Of safety during a fire
which broke out in the house in which she
lived on East Ninety-fifth street, before
daylight today. Every effort was made
to save her life by her two daughters, but
their strength gave out and they were
forced to abandon their mother, and bare
ly escaped death themselves About a
score of others were daringly rescued by
the police and firemen.
The fire originated among some Christ
mas decorations in candy store, which
occupied the first floor of the tenement.
Before the occupants were aware of the
fire the Railways were made impossible
by smoke, and escape seemed possible
only by way of the scuttle in the roof.
1t was while her daughters were endeav-
oring to pull her up the ladder and
through the scuttle that Mrs. Schlintz was
overcome by smoke and expired. Damage
to the building and the candy stock
amounted to about 81 500.
