FRANK BELEW'S REVENGE.
He Puts Rat Poison in the Kettle and
Kills His Brother and Sister.

FAIRFIELD, Cal, Feb 6.--Frank Belew,
under arrest for the murder of his brother
Louis and sister Susie in the little town
of Dixon, on the 9Th of last November, has
confessed. He told how he placed rat poison
in the teakettle used by his brother and
sister, and when the news came to him
that they were dying how he had gone to
their home and witnessed the dying strug-
giles of his sister without pang of remorse.
Bruno Klein, an employe of Louis Belew,
was also poisoned, but recovered after
severe illness. AT the time of the poisoning
a rejected suitor of Susie was suspected of
the crime, but owing to lack of evidence
vas never arrested. Suspicion also fell on
Frank Belew, and the motive was thought
to be money. Frank was finally arrested
and in his confession declared his only mo-
tive for the crime was revenge on his broth
er and sister for having repeatedly SLAM
dered his wife.

NOTED RESORT BURNED
HIGHLAND PARK HOTEL AT AIKEN.
5. c., DESTROYED by FIRE.
None of the 13O Guests, Who Were
Mostly from the North, Injured
Cathedral at Savannah burned.

AUGUSTA, Ga. Feb. 6.-IIighland Park
Hotel. which for more than a score of years
has been filled every winter with Northern
people and which has made Aiken, S. c.,
one of the best known resorts in the whole
South, was burned to the ground this morn
ing and only half a dozen or so tall CHM
neys remain standing grim monuments
over the funeral pyre of what was last night
the center of life and hustle and gayety.
There were about 100 guests in the hotel
and the house was full in the very midst
of its season. Boston. New York. Philadel-
phia, Chicago, Cincinnati, Toronto and sew
eral towns in Connecticut and New Hamp-
shire furnished the majority Of the guests.
The fire broke out about $50 this morning
in little brick building in the rear of one
of the wings of the hotel where the engine,
dynamo, laundry and dressing room for the
walters were situated This one-story build
ing was Joined to the main hotel, a big
three-story frame building of 1S5 rooms, by
q small, narrow wooden structure. which
the guests say might have been chopped
away with axes and entirely cut off the
fire FROM the hotel if there had been any
intelligent direction of the efforts that were
made to save the hotel.
II. w. Prieste, lessee and manager of the
hotel who is one of the heaviest losers, says
he has no idea how the fire originated The
head laundress claims there was no fire in
the laundry since noon yesterday. Manager
Prieste says the wind was blowing in a fa-
vorable direction for saving the hotel, and
it might have been saved with all ease if
there had been any adequate fire-fghting
apparatus. but the streams that were turned
on it from the standpipe of the hotel ground
were Intellectual.
The hotel had been entirely rehtted for
this season All cost of about $4,000 The
owners are J. II. Whittemore, of Naugatuck,
Conn; Franklin Farrell, of Ansonia, Conn.
and III. II. Peck. Mr.. Whittemore owns a
half interest, the other two one-quarter
each. The company is capitalized at $780,
600. The building was insured for $4,000;
furniture, $25 900; engine. boiler and dynamo,
$3.50, and from five to ten thousand was
carried in policies on the personal property
of different guests. The losses are divided
among all the leading insurance companies
of the country, no policy being for more
than 5000, and most of them for only 81, 500
Many of the guests, unable TO secure ac-
commodations in Aiken, are now at the
Bon Air, Arlington and Planters hotels in
this city.
During the excitement of the fire an al
tercation occurred in which Thomas Fallon.
of Boston, the engineer OF the hotel. was
shot by another emp p.oye, but the wound was
not serious.

MUNCIE, Ind Feb. 6,-Albany, town
twelve miles northeast of this city, suf-
fered severely by fire early this morning cas-
reported in late edition of the JournaD.
Owing to the excitement at Albany during
the progress of the fire it was impossible to
secure an accurate statement of the losses
and insurance. The total loss it is now
thought will not exceed $50,O00 When the
fire broke out between midnight and l
o'clock, Muncie was called on for assist
ance, but the city officials recently decided
to attend no fires outside the city since the
Farmland run, when Muncie was left to pay
the expenses incurred by the trip to assist
in saving the business center of the town a
few months ago. Albany has fire protec-
ton, and for a time this morning it looked
as if the bucket brigade, composed of 1000
men, with 500 buckets, would not be able TO
check the blaze until the business part or
the town was in ruins. They finally sue
ceeded in getting control of the fire about
O'Clock. The fire started in the cellar under
the Wolf clothing store in the Speicher
block on State street, and before it was dis
covered the building was nearly enveloped
in flames. The building was owned by
David Speicher, OF Urbana, Ind, and cost
$4,000. There was 5000 insurance on the
building, with $1,000 additional on the hall,
owned by the Odd Fellows and occupying
the top floor. The other losses and insur-
ance were A. c. Givens's grocery, loss
$500, insurance $1,50O. S. Wolf clothing
store, $500; insurance, $500. X. l.. Null,
shoe store, $1,000; insurance, $500. Paxton
Bros, hardware store. $500; insurance,
$500 j. w. Wilson, grocery, SS,OO0 no in
surance odd Fellows Hall. $4,000; insur-
aIace, $1,000. Masonic Lodge, $lS00; insur-
ance, $500. The above insurance is in the
following companies and about equally di-
vided: The Phoenix, F'ireman's Fund and
Milwaukee Mechanics. The $4,000 stock OF
the Hub clothing store was carried from the
store, as it was threatened, and il is esti-
mated that one-half was stolen during the
excitement caused by the fire near by. The
McGugin drug store, Summerville barber
shop and other buildings were scoreled.
while the offices Of Drs. Murray and Pow
ers, Prosecutor Ira Overmyer and DR. Geo.
Russell in the Speicher block were de-
stroyed. They carried no insurance. An
unknown tramp, while working at the fire,
was struck on the head by falling brick
chimney and was seriously injured lie has
not yet regained consciousness.

FOR BURNING SEMlNOLES.
Arrest of Twelve Men and Warrants
Out for Over One Hundred More.

GUTHRIE, o. r., Feb. 6.-Excitement
prevails in the Pottawatomie and Semi
mole country over the arrests made there of
men implicated in the burning of the two
Seminole Indians. Marshal Harry Thomp
son and six of his deputies, accompanied
by strong posses, have been securing the
country the past three days, and so far
twelve arrests have been made, with 110
more warrants 10 serve. Three of the men
under arrest are prominent Seminole citi-
zens. The people in the community where
the stake burning occurred are in sympathy
with the mob, and the officers are expert
encing great difficulty in serving warrants.
Governor Barnes's reward of 81 900 is still
in force. Rewards also have been offered
by the Department of Justice for the appre-
hension of the mob leaders. Marshal
Thompson fears trouble when the prisoners
are arraigned before the United States COM
miSSiOnerS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-It was voted unan-
imousy by the members Of the standing
committee of the Protestant Episcopal dio-

consent to the conservation of the Rev.
DR.. William III. Brown, the archdeacon of
Cleveland, who was lately elected as the
bishop coadjutor of the diocese OF Arkan-
sas This action on the part of the COM
mittee was cordially indorsed by Bishop
Potter, and is likely to have considerable
effect upon the vote of many Of the dio-
ceses of the United States. Nothing in the
recent history of the Episcopal Church has
created greater discussion throughout the
church at large than the controversy aris-
ing out of the election of Dr. Brown to the
eoadjutor bishopric of Arkansas A protest
which was issued was following by an ex-
haustive answer, indorsed by Bishop
Pierce. which sets forth at length the cir
cumstances attending the election, which.

BIG LINERS FLOATED.
La Bretagne and the Kaiser Wilhelm
Pulled from Their Beds of Mud.

NEW YORK, Feb. The two big ocean
during the fog of Saturday are now safe
at sea on their outward passa ges. One of
the liners, the La Bretagne, was q prisoner
until $50 o'clock this morning, while the
other the Kaiser Wilhelm II, was only de-
layed short time. The cause of all the
trouble was the shifting about of the buoys
by the heavy flow of ice during the past
few days. Both vessels left their piers Sat
urday morning and steamed slowly down
the bay in the fog. Pilot Chas Thompson
was in charge of the French liner and Pilot
Van Pelt, of the Kaiser, which was lead
ing by an eighth of q mile. AS already told
it was just after they had entered Gedney's
channel that La Bretagnes pilot mistook
red for a black buoy. He steered to port of
the red buoy and five minutes later La
Bretagnes nose was scraping the mud of
Romer shoal. The Kaiser, following behind,
initiated the French liners lead and she,
too, went aground The tug Pulver sue
ceeded in freeing the Kaiser Wilhelm,
which anchored at $50 D. m. near the in
tersecton of the Swash and Gedney's chan
mel. Just after the Kaiser was freed from
her sand bed on the Ronier shoaI the steam
pilot boat New York, which had broken
six hawsers in an effort to float the French
liner, succeeded and La Bretagne slipped
off into deep water, but went ashore again
