STOUT's BAD LUCK.
His Business Has Suffered Four Diff
ferent Times FROM Fire.

The fire yesterday was the fourth of
which George w. Stout has been a victim,
and all of them have been on the same
site. The first in 1881. Fire was then
discovered early one Sunday morning. and
after burning fiercely for a few moments
the joist on the third floor gave way pre-
cipitating the unusually heavy stock on
that floor into the basement. On account
Of the collapse considerable difficulty was
experienced in settling with the insurance
companies. they contending the fire was
caused by the collapse. while Stout main
tanned the fire was the cause OF the floor
giving way.
The second fire was on Jan. Is, 1SSS. when
flames were discovered In the building
about IL ID. m. The weather at that time
was very much like that of last night, the
thermometer registering above zero, and
a strong breeze blowing. The fire was one
of the most disastrous In the history of
the city. the total loss being S73S. 00O with
insurance OF $55S.0o0. Stouts loss was at
that time about $4,000 He had insurance
amounting 10 $4,000. four-ffths of which
was on stock. Other sufferers at that time
were Byram. Cornelius & Co., d. p. Erwin
& Co, Pearson e. Wetzel, Tanner a Sulli-
van, G. Il. Cones & Co. and others.
The third fire was on Feb. Ii. 1895 The
fire then started on the second floor and
resulted In loss To Stout of 500. 600 of
which $500 was covered by insurance
The Kiefer Drug Company at that time
lost about $4,000 b. water, the flames be-
Ing kept from the building by the water

Murphy, Hibben e. Co. kept open house
for the benefit of the half frozen insurance
men, proprietors and clerks of the burning
buildings and newspaper men. Cigars were
served, in addition to a roaring coal fire.
Seventeen hose wagons, eight engines,
five ladder trucks, three chemical engines
and the water tower made up the fire
equipment used last night at the fire. Four
wagons and one engine were left in the
stables for emergency.
John Wocher, in whose agency the Brink
meyer, Kuhn & Co. insurance was placed,
was one of the prominent figures at the
scene of the fire. Wocher was apparently
everywhere at once, being seen one mo-
ment on the top floor of some of the store
buildings and the next in the basement of
another. About the last thing he did be-
fore going home was to accompany a
workman into the basement of the kiefer
drug house to shut off the water In the
pipes leading to the automatic sprinklers.
He waded down the steps into the water
until il was knee deep, but was satisfied
then TO let the other man wade in TO his
arm pits and turn the water off,

OBJECT OF LEYDs's MISSION.
Wants the Powers to Intervene II
Britain SEXES Delagoa Bay.

BERLIN, Feb. Lit Is strongly rumored
in parliamentary circles that the chief Do
iitical object of DR.. Leyds in visiting Paris,
Berlin and st. Petersburg is to induce
France. Germany and Russia to intervene
Il Great Britain should attempt to seize
Delagoa bay. The correspondent OF the
Associated Press learns that Count Won
Buelow, the foreign secretary, has thus far
refused to give definite promise. There
have been daily conferences between the
Emperor and Count Won Buelow on the
subject. German colonial circles and the
German government itself regard the war
as distinctly unfavorable to Germany's in
terests in Africa No matter how il may
end. Germany will acquire uncomfortable
neighbors-either "fanatical Beers" or
'.presumptuous British" More than this.

When asked If he intended TO offer re-

them away and not upon me.

thrown by the "Siamese' nozzles, as was
the case last night At the fire In 1895 there
were many comments about the low water
pressure, and TO that was attributed the
large loss. Last night there were also
many complaints, especially by the at
taches of the Kiefer Drug Company, rela-
tive TO the slowness and poor judgment or
the department and the low pressure. but
II was claimed the pressure was sufficient,
and that whatever low pressure was no.
ticeable in the streams thrown was only
temporary because of split hose.
The fire of 1895 occurred during the week
when the city suffered such great loss by
four fires during one week. The first was
that of the Condo Implement Company. at
100 to 100 North Capitol avenue, which
was followed by the Denison House fire,
with a loss of $4,000. The third fire of the
week was that in the tailoring establish
ment of y. j. Treat, which was followed
by the Stout fire.
Though suffering so largely from heavy
losses by fire MIR. Stout has never been but
temporarily embarrassed in his business,
and says he will probably sustain only
temporary interruption at this time.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Feb. 1.-Sister Stanis-
laus, teacher, and Mary Foley, pupil.
lost their lives in a fire which destroyed
the parochial school of st. Lawrence
O'Tooles Catholic parish, Fourteenth and
O'Fallon streets. this afternoon. There
were 200 pupils and twelve sisters I'm the
school building, four-story structure,
when the flames broke out When the first
alarm of fire was given the teachers hastily
marched the pupils toward the exits. Sis
ter Stanislaus had got all those under her
immediate care to the street, except Mary
Foley, and before either could escape, they
were overcome by smoke. A fireman found
both bodies on the fourth floor and carried
them to the ground. While awaiting an
ambulance to take them to the City Hall
Hospital the two sufferers died.
The alarm Of fire caused the widest
alarm among the pupils and but for the
GOODNESS of the sisters and the help OF
three priests, the results Of the panic might
have been much worse. Only a few Of the
children were injured.

MILITIA WILL NOT OBEY GoEBEL
Collier VIII Continue to Support Tay-
lor-Castleman Not Appointed.

lor-Castleman Not Appointed.
FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. lit is now
definitely decided that Gen. John B. Castle
man. of Louisville. is not to be adjutant
general for Mr.. Goebel, and while it was
asserted last night with great positiveness
that he had been appointed. 1t is said to-
night that he never was rendered the place.
No man has been appointed as yet. but the
name of Col. 7. j. Smith, of the Third Ken
lucky Infantry, is prominently mentioned.
No attention whatever has been paid by
the militia to Mr.. Goebers orders to re-
turn to their homes. 1t is just as though
the order had never been issued. Adjutant
General Collier says no consideration will
be given to any orders that may emanate
from the Goebel headquarters.
A large crowd gathered at the depot this
morning to greet the train from Louisville.
1t had been currently reported that Gen.
Castleman would come in, and many of
the enthusiastic Democrats expected to see
him walk up to the Statehouse and take
command of the troops, rout General
Collier the first thing and then scatter the
Republican officials to all points of the
compass. General Casteman failed to ap-
pear, however, and there was a sorely dis
appointed crowd of partisans around the
depot when the fact was realized.
Boxes of ammunition were delivered to
Adjutant General Collier to-day. The hall
of his Office is packed ceiling high with
cartridges. The greatest activity prevailed
on the Capitol grounds all day. Blankets
were served 10 the soldiers and every evil
dence of protracted stay is apparent.
A report that Lieutenant Gray, of the
First Regiment, had resigned is pronounced
absurd by Commandant Williams.

contracted to supply foreign agents with
100000 tons Of steam coal for shipment
abroad has occasioned genuine I'M
easiness. The destination of the fuel
is not mentioned, but as coal at present Is
exceptionally scarce in Germany, France
and Russia, 1t is probably going to one of
these countries France is already re-
placing her home deficiency by buying in
the United States, but the American ship
ments are intended solely for railroad loco
motives, and will not be used in the navy.
The vital interest which the question has
for Great Britain will be understood when
IL is realized that Natal is depending on
Wales for coal for the numerous transports
that have gone to Durham, because the CO.
lonial coal fields have been closed by the
war. 1t is pointed out that it would be "A
good move on the part of the Beers to
drain the fuel resources Of Great Britain
in this manner, and in the event of sudden
demands the British navy would be per-
ilously crippled by the loss of so much
coal. Some of the newspapers advocate
the government placing an embargo on
such transactions in war time
Throughout South Staffordshire the iron
works have advanced the price of iron 10
shillings per ton on account of the dear
ness of coal

MENELIK TRUE TO BRITAIN.
Rejects Russian and French Counsel
to Attack the English.

NEW YORK, Feb L. Adispatch from
Zurich states that reports that Menelik is
arming are untrue, and that the Negus
has rejected French and Russian counsel
to attack the English from the rear. Mem
elk in November last received an extraor-
binary embassy sent to him by England
with the greatest honor. He held any
number of conferences with the English
ENJOYS, at which Herr Zig. his Swiss ad-
wiser, present. The Negus was de-
lighted with the result of the negotiations,
and loaded the embassy with costly pres
ents for the Queen. French and Russian
diplomats are very much dissatisfied at
the turn which things have taken En-
glish influences in Abyssinia is steadily in
creasing. Menelik will not visit Paris. He
takes the greatest possible interest in the
construction of the Djibouti-Harrar Rail-
road.
