SOMETHING ABOUT HER.
The Career of Miss Lamonr is Most
Interesting One.

Marie Iamour is a name that has
been heralded through the theatrical
columns OF the daily papers to such
an unlimited extent OF late that to
those who have not watched the ca
reer OF this gifted Young artist
from its inception, brief resume Of
what might be termed her profes
sional life will not prove uninterest-
ing reading. To begin with Miss
Lamour began her career on the
stage in the humble capacity of a
chorus singer in one of AHgustin
DAYS musical comedy companies,
and to the splendid early training
received In this capacity, as well
to a strict adherence TO the
rigid discipline, constantly enforced
in Mr.. Days organizations. Miss
Lamour credits the foundation of
what up to this time has been ca
reer of brilliant success. 1t is to
their early training as members Of
the chorus that Fanny Davenport,
Lillian Russell and many other
stars OF like prominence owe much
of their later success. After brief
period in the chorus Miss Lamour
was advanced to the more impor-
tant position of a principal, and sew
eral years experience of this kind in
Mr.. Days New York company made
her not only splendid actress but
most pronounced metropolitan ia
yorite. Last season Miss Lamour
severed her connection with the
DAILY company to star in the title
role of Wilfred Clarke's farcical
comedy, "A Wise Woman and her
success so tar is said to have been of
the most solid artistic and financial
kind. Miss Lamour will appear in
this city at the head of her own com
pany this Thursday evening. The
supporting company is said to be
very strong and includes Frederic
Murphy, last season leading man
with Julia Marlowe.

FLAMES ON THE WATER
BURNING OIL THROWN ON THE KILL
Won KULL by EXPLOSIONS.
Scenes at q Fire In Standard varnish
Works ON Staten Island-TuEs
Turn Hose ON Themselves.

NEW YORK, May 5.-The Standard
varnsh works, at Elm Park. s. l., were
discovered to be on fire early this morn
ing Saturday.. and the whole works were
for a time threatened with destruction.
The varnish and the materials escaping
from the great tanks as they blew up
flowed over the yard and out upon the
waters of the Kill Won Kull. The blaze
from the various oils illuminated the coun-
try for miles. Fire engines from Port Rich
mond were soon on the scene, and gen.
eral alarm was sent in, calling all of the
apparatus from the north shore of Staten
island. Within hour four of the big
tanks had blown up. Each of these tanks
contained five thousand gallons Of material.
The fremen were driven back again and
again, but kept up their efforts to save the
buildings of the plant. These are of brick,
one story high and cover several acres.
At o'clock the fire had extended over so
great an area that it was in danger of get
ting away from the control Of the tugs.
Time and again the oils were carried to the
tugs, which had to turn their hose upon
themselves. To have let the fire escape
down the kill would have not only en-
dangered the docks and boats along the
Staten island shore, but under the infiu-
ence of the current the blaze might have
been carried across to the coal docks and
oil works in Bayonne. The tugs managed
to hold the fire in check upon the water.
while the firemen on shore fought 1t back
from the buildings.
Eight of the great tanks blew up within
two hours Each explosion threw the burn
ing contents in every direction and repeat
edly endangered the lives of the firemen
and sent the fire among the buildings. The
flames on the water finally communicated
to and destroyed the docks and some of the
smaller buildings out near the waters
edge in the vicinity of the varnish works.
No estimate of damage can be made.
At 1870 a. m. the firemen expected to be
able to save the main buildings of the
plant.

The train was going at about thirty
mile speed when the curve just east Of
Gastonville was struck and the engine was

RIFLES IN THE OFFICE


Assistant Secretary of State ]. B.
Matthews testified: 81 was in the Gov
ernor's reception room when the assassina-
tion occurred. John Davis had just handed
me my mail. The first shot sounded to me
as IL it came from between the two build
ings. I got pistol and started out AS I
opened the door met Henry Youtsey, who
was coming in. He had revolver in his
hand. He asked me where the shooting
was. Governor Taylor asked Mr.. Hart
grover to go out and see what had hap
pened. Hartgrover went out just ahead
OF me. / remained out of the Office but
few minutes, and when I returned several
people had come into the Office. We tried
get some guns which were in there. The
doors were locked. and / had to crawl
over the transom to get in. The windows
and curtains were down. A rifle was lying
by one of the windows. with the butt to-
ward the east. There was also a rifle in
each corner on the left side of the room.
Two were of 38 calibre. examined them
to see If they had been recently fired. /
am positive that two of them were loaded,
but am not sure as to the other one. 1t
soiled my hands, but do not know that
this was caused by powder. I don't know
where this rifle is now. The extreme west
window was raised about four inches when
I inspected the room"
Matthews continued: II have talked
with Caleb Powers in regard to Youtsey.
He told me he loaned Youtsey the key to
his Office on two occasions, but did not say
when. Powers told me of a meeting in his
office to appoint captains to take charge of
the witnesses before the contest boards.
Culton presided. He told me that Burton.
of Breckenridge county. made a fiery
speech, advocating powder and ball. Pow
ers called Burton to order, but added that
he was in favor of an open declaration Of
war, and believed the people would indorse
it."
1t developed during Matthews's testimony
that Taylor issued pardons to John l..
Powers, Harlan Whitaker, Charles Finley
and w. H. Culton, as well as to Caleb
Powers and John Davis. Matthews entered
all of the pardons in the executive journal
March TO- He said no other pardons had
been granted Witness was formerly a de-
tective, and at the instance of Caleb Pow
ers had done all he could to ferret out the
assassination.
