$4,000 FIRE IN PLAINFIELD.
The Mill of the oneco Milling Company

The Mill Of the Oneco Milling Company
Totally Destroyed This Morning.
Painfield, March 2.-Fire early this
morning totally destroyed the factory
Of the Oneco Milling company, causing
a loss estimated at $4,000, fully cover
ed by insurance.
The origin of the fire is mystery,
but the fact that the flames were dis
covered in two places at the same time
leads to the general belief that it was
of incendiary origin.
The building was large four story
stone structure, and at o'clock this
morning fire was discovered in the
wheel pit and in the tower. There is
no fire department in the town and the
citizens turned out to fight the flames.
They could do nothing, and in a short
time, famed by high wind, the flames
had destroyed the building, leaving
nothing standing but a portion of the
walls.
The factory was running on full time,
and about 100 hands are thrown out of
employment by the fire. The loss on
the building is estimated at $4,000 and
about the same amount on the stock.

Y. M. c. A. CYCLE SHOW.
Large Number Of Excellent Exhibits
Attendance Good.

Large Number Of Excellent Exhibits
Attendance Good.
The three days bicycle show opened
at the Y. M. c. A. rooms yesterday af-
ternoon and despite the disagreeable
weather a large number of people were
present and viewed the exhibits. The
wheels and sundries occupied places on
the floor of the gymnasium and the large
space is quite well filled. Most of the
local dealers have exhibits and all the
best machines on the market are to be
seen. All the latest and best improve
ments are shown on the various ma
chimes. If any of the exhibits are
attracting more attention than another
1t is that of the Collett Bros. They
have just started into business, but
their line of machines is certainly fine.
They are making a speciality of the Ell
dredge, the wheel on which Miller made
his great reputation by winning the
six days race at Madison Square Gar
den, and also at San Francisco. The
"Beecher' folding stands are the in
vention of a New Haven man, and
seem to be just the right thing. The
association orchestra will give a con-
cert during the exhibition hours this
evening.

SERUM CURE FOR PNEUMONIA.

Berlin, March PROF. Wassermann,
one of the most capable of DR.. Koch S
pupils, hopes that he has discovered a
serum cure for pneumonia. He does
not commit himself to a definite state
ment, but prolonged experiments with
rabbits and mice have convinced him
that an anti-toxn is produced in the
red marrow Of their bones and in the
morrow Of a human being who has died

Twenty New Haven County Prisoner

Twenty New Haven County Prisoners
Taken Up This Week.
Twenty prisoners have been taken to
the state prison in Wethersfield this
week by Sheriff Spiegel. Eighteen men
were taken up Tuesday and two women
from Waterbury Wednesday. The state
prison has been so crowded lately that
there was no room for any more prison.
erss and consequently large number
sentenced have been kept in county jails
until room could be made for them in
prison.
There are still two men from Water
bury, sojourning at the Whalley avenue
lodging house, who have been sentenced
to Wethersfield. 1t is probable that
there will be no room for more prison
ers at the state prison for month or
two at least.

A STRANGE AFFAIR.
Woman Kills Another Woman with
Whom She Was Infatuated and
Then Commits Suicide.

Stockton, CAL, May "a peculiar
tragedy came to light here Tuesday
when the bodies of Mrs. William Hick-
man and Mrs. II. A. Hassall, clasped in
loving embrace, but both dead, We're
found in a room of a lodging house, a
bullet having ended the life of each.
Mrs. Hassall had been morbidly infatu
ated with Mrs. Hickman for some
months. Monday night Mrs. Hassall
told Mrs. Hickman that she was going
to start for London Tuesday and begged
Mrs. Hickman to spend the night with
her. Mrs. Hickman consented, and her
relatives, growing alarmed at her nom
appearance, visited the lodging house
and discovered the bodies. Mrs. Hassall
had killed Mrs. Hickman and then her
self. Mrs. Hassall came from London,
England, and called herself the duch-
ess, claiming that her husband is a
duke. She became so madly infatu-
ated with Mrs. Hickman that her hus-
band left her, but the couple were about
to be reconciled. Mrs. Hassall is the
chief ranger of the order of foresters
in this city and is supposed to be well
to do. Medical men are of the opinion
that Mrs. Hassall was insane. The case
is similar to one which occurred at
Memphis few years ago.

Losses have been heavy from the be-

depressed condition Of our trade Il
suoh that we are no longer visited by
the numerous commercial travellers
who formerly came from England,
from Germany and from the United
States. We cannot buy their wares
and improved machinery, and conse-
quently we lose the benefit Of the e1-
change Of products, which we former
" enjoyed. Compared with the pros
perity Of former times, when the sill
yer of our mines was freely exchanged
for the articles that we needed from
other countries, our business seems to
DO almost at a standstill. Meanwhile
the debts Of our people are increasing,
with apparently no hope for future re-
lief Chilli cannot pay her debts except
by going further In to debt, and she con-
tinues to sell the silver she produces
In London for less than 80 cents rather
than open her mints to silver and coin
1t into dollars, which would lay the
foundation Of improvement in local
home prices, as Is the case In Medoo
to-day and has been for quarter OF q

at our own expense, and our rulers are
not wise enough to see the point.-Jo-

AT MERCY OF MATAAFANs.
Powers Order for Cessation
of Hostilities.

Wellington, N. o., May 8. = Advices
from Samoa indicate that the instruc-
tions received from the powers to cease
hostilities make the situation in the is
lands very serious, as the Mataafa
rebels hold the main food supplies and
are again near the municipality of Apia.
The correspondent of Reuters News
agency thinks it is evident that the
home authorities have misunderstood
the situation in Samoa. The Germans
and rebels are jubilant and claim VIC
tory over the British and American
forces. The correspondent says that
unless the rebels are made to submit
the difficulties will remain unsolved.

Democrats and anti-Algerine Repub-
