Kingman Depot Burned.

The Santa Fe Pacific Railroad Con- panys depot and warehouse at King man. togei her with several cars loaded with coal. were entirely destroyed by fire Saturday morning at an early hour. The origin of the fire is somewhat of a mystery, as the wind was blowing in the wrong direction for it to have caught from a train, and as there was little sprinkle of rain during the night there is some reason to believe that it may have been started intentionally. The fire had gained such headway be- fore it was discovered that nothing could be saved from the freight house. and Agent Gooding and family had only jus time enough to escape with their lives. losing all their household effects, and not having time 10 save even their clothes and valuables. all of which were consumed. As the war,- house Was full of freight and he books and the waybills all destroyed. it. will be Il hard matter to straiyhten affairs ont. The depot will doubles, soon be replaced with more substantial one.

FIREBUGs AT NEWPORT.
Barn Destroyed and "A summer Co
taEe Badly Damaged.


NEWPORT. R. l., Nov I0.-During The
severe storm yesterday fire was discov-
cred in the summer cottage OF Mrs Ju-
liza E1dridge, OF New York, at RuggIas
and Ochre Point Avenues. in The centre
of the Ochre Point summer resident d.
trict- It had evidently started in the
cellar. When first seen. the smoke was
also making its way out OF the upper
part of the house.
The wind was blowing a gale from the
southwest, coming directly from the
ocean The fremen had a long run, the
site being nearly two miles from the
centre of the city, but the flames were
soon checked and within an hour all
danger Of further spread was past. Mrs
Walter Eidridge was present and super
intended the removal of many valuable
pieces of furniture, tapestry, and bric-a-
brac the dremen and volunteers assist
ing in the work.
The origin of the fire is net known The
keeper in charge OF the house says that
so far as he knows no one had been in
the building for week and there had
been no fire in the furnace The loss
viii be several thousand dollars, the
larger part upon furniture and furnish
ings, although the house was consider
ably damaged. especially about the main
hall. There was an insurance of $49, 600
on the house and $1,000 on the furniture.
The cottcge was occupied during the last
season by Mrs Richard GambriII CT New
York. who left about two weeks ago
Early last evening there was another
alarm from the summer res.dercs section
of the city, this time for a fire in the
stable of the estate or John H. Mahony.
of New York, at Bellevue and Lake View
Avenues. The fire was probably caused
by spontaneous combustion among paint
ing materials. The entire building was
destroyed The stable was found in
flames, which had gained SO much head
way that IN the heavy wind which was
still blowing they could not be checked
The building was in the immediate vi
cinity of Belcourt, the extensive estab-
lishment Of Oliver H P Belmont. and
also of the w. x. Vanderbilt stables
There is evidence that the fire was of
incendiary origin, and it is now believed
that the blaze earlier in the evening was
the work of firebugS.

THE NEWS in IOWA
TRAGEDY AT WEIR CITY.


John Davis Fatally shoots William Hal
loway.
BUssEY, March "A shocking trag-
edy occurred at Weir City, coal min
ing suburb one mile south of Bussey.
A dance was in progress at the house
several young men from Bussey proper
were in attendance. William Hollo-
way, son of DR.. J. G. Holloway, got
into an alteration with Davis and
was elected from the house. 1t is
stated that Holloway started in again
with knife in his hand and that Da-
Wis drove him out with stick of wood.
Davis is said to have then got his rife
and tdok up position to guard the
door and when Holloway again APP
peared in range Davis fired and Halo
way turned and walked half way
around the house and fell, expiring
almost instantly and without uttering
a word after he was shot. The ball
passed through his left arm, striking
the body near his suspender buckle
and ranging through the body in a
slightly downward course. Sheriff
Davis arrested the murderer who read
lily gave himself up. Davis is the man
who was suspected by many of being
guilty of the murder of Dan Mccarthy,
of Marysville, some years ago, but no
proof was ever found against him.

Kruger and Steyn to Hold . Conference
In the Free State.
LONDON March 5.-PresiAent Kruger
is said to have left Pretoria with the
intention of meeting President Steyn.
The place where they are to meet is
not mentioned, but it is be-
lieved to be somewhere in the Orange
Free State. Those in South Africa
who are conversant with the effect of
the recent reverses on the Beers ex-
press the opinion that the meeting of
the two presidents is preliminary to a
suggestion for negotiations for peace.
But in this case it must be due to pres
sure brought to bear upon the presi-
dents by the burghers and Afrikan-
ders in the British colonies rather than
in the personal inclinations of the pres
idents, as all available information
depicts them as being as determined as
ever to persist in the war until their
resources are utterly exhausted. But
the closest observations do not antici-
pate any sudden cessation of HOSTILE
ties, and, certainly reports from the
theatre of war do not tend to encour-
age the advocate of immediate peace.
The Beers apparently are rallying
with their accustomed ability to re-
pair temporary reverse, and Great
Britain has yet to test their force as
defensive power under new conditions
of war.

MANILA, March 5.--Reports reach the
Associated Press from various sources,
including army officers and the heads
Of commercial houses with agents

activity among the insurgents, who are
endeavoring to keep alive the armed
opposition to the United States and
are planning to continue the insurrec-

A person holding a position second
only to that of the governor general
says he is convinced that the insurgent
organization has been remarkably re-
habilitated during the past month,
particularly in the northern provinces.
He says the insurgents have a secret
organization even in the strongest
garrisoned towns, affording perfect
means of communication, and that the
machinery is managed from Manila,
some of the leaders being Filipinos
pretending to be supporters OF the
American administration. Two corre-

insurance companies who received an
adverse decision from the supreme
court few months ago are going to

membered that in the case decided by
the Iowa tribunal involved the consti-

pels foreign companies to pay more for

that the Discrimination was a legal
one and within the scope of the power
which confers upon a state the right

Yesterday McVey & Mcvey, attorneys,
appeared at the Office of State Treas

jail Delivery at Primghar.

PRmeHAR, March 4.-There was
another Jail break in o'Brien county,
being the third one within year.
William b. Tate, who had been in Jail
for couple of months on the charge
of burglarizing a freight car on the
Milwaukee tracks at Sanborn, sawed
out of Jail and made his escape in
broad daylight. Tate belonged to
what is known as the Daley gang,
which has operated in the vicinity of
Sanborn for several months past.
Their business was robbing dry goods
and clothing stores, and selling the
goods to the railroad men and others
at greatly reduced prices Some time
ago the gang came to grief and the
ringleader was sent up, from Clay
county, for three years.
