FIRE IN THE WEST END.
Two Three-story Buildings BADLY
Damaged.


Two Three-story Buildings Badly
Damaged.
Fire was discovered about 1 o. clock this
afternoon in the three-story frame building
at 1911 32d street, occupied by Turner
Brown as a lamp store. There was some
delay in turning In an alarm. and it was
about ten minutes before the engines re-
sponded.
Before their arrival the flames spread to
1900 32d street, a three-story frame build
ing, occupied by w. H. Coon as residence
and store.
/ Owing to the fact that there were about
twenty-five or thirty gallons of gasoline
and coal oil in the lamp store, to which the
flames communicated, the flames spread
rapidly, and the smoke covered the entire
block. By the time the engine arrived
the entire rear portion Of the two buildings
was entirely enveloped In flames. Truck E
company was recently transferred to a sta
ton In another part Of the city, and 1t was
some time before truck B arrived, but after
it reached the scene it rendered good SER
vice. ~
After fight of fully an hour the flames
were extinguished, but not until damage
approximately between $500 and $4,000
had been caused
The store Of Mr.. brown was entirely
gutted, the loss being placed at between
$500 and s70O The upper portion of the
building was occupied as residence by
Mrs. Collins and the damage to the house
hold furnishings was placed at $500.
Upon this there was no insurance. The
building, which Is owned by John B. Lord,
is damaged to the estimated amount of ST.
800, upon which there Is small insurance
The loss to Mr.. Coon is placed at between
$1,000 and 81 800 He is the owner of the

covered by insurance,

GEORGE DOLINsKI HANGED.
He Was Convicted of the Murder of
Anton Lisle.

He Was Convicted of the Murder OF
Anton Lisle.
CHICAGO, October 1.-George Dolinski,
convicted of murder was hanged here to-
day.
The crime for which Dolinsk paid the
extreme penalty was the murder of his
brother-in-law, Anton Lisle, year ago.
Dolinski became infatuated with Mrs.
Lisle, who was his wife's sister. That his
elandestine wooing might not be inter-
fered with Dolinski sent his wife on visit
to her parents in tire old country. Lisle,
however, became suspicious. November
81 the two men met in a pasture north
of Irving Park. When the police found
LfSle'S body there were four bullet wounds
in 1t and the throat was cut. DolfnSkf
was arrested, but declared that he and
Lisle had quarreled about money matters
and that he had been compelled to shoot
his brother-in-law in self-defense. The
evidence against Dolinski, while mainly cir
cumstantial, was sufficient to convince the
jury that murder had been done in order
that Dolinskt might marry Mrs. Lisle.
Meanwhile Mrs. Dolinski in Europe heard
that her husband had been arrested, but
the report also said that it was for her own
murder. Supposing that she could get him
out Of his predicament by appearing and
thus disproving the charge that he had
killed her. Mrs. Dolinski, with her infant,
hurried back across the Atlantic and ar
rived In Chicago only to discover the real
state of affairs. She did not abandon her
husband, however, but did all in her
power to aid him. She visited him in the
Jail yesterday, and when she learned that
the supreme court had refused to grant a
supersedeas she fell in a faint. Dolinski
made his last confession to Father Rapouz
yesterday and spent the night in a barber
chair, alternately doing and gazing at his
image in a mirror.

CLOSE OF FREDERICK FAIR.
Present Meeting Breaks the Record
for Success.

Present Meeting Breaks the Record
for Success.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
FREDERICK, Md, October 1.-THE
Frederick fair closed today after one of
the most successful exhibitions ever held
in the history of the association. During
the entire week the weather has been per-
feet, the attendance large, and everything
has passed off In the most satisfactory
manner.
Representative George A. Pearre spent
yesterday at the fair, and during the day
shook hands with hundreds of his admirers
here. ---'--e -----
One of the features Of the week has been
the racing, which has been especially fine.
The manner in which Starter G. Ernest
Hall has gotten the runners off each day
has been the subject of much favorable
comment
Get-away-day has far exceeded the ex-
pectations of the managers, as the crowd
is equally as large as the one Wednes-
day.
The races yesterday were holly contested,
and the time was fast in all the races, the
finishes close, and the judges had hard
work in one heat to decide upon the win
ner. In the third heat of the 215 class
trot, after Ned H. woodruff, from the Har-
lem Valley stock farm, New Jersey, and
Annihilator, owned by John Street, Harris
burg, Pa, had each won a heat the two
horses passed under the wire head to head
The judges decided that Woodruff had won,
as AnnihilatOr had broken in the back
stretch. Woodruff won the final heat and
the race. The 2.22 trot for a purse of $780,
was won by Silk Lace owned by VIM M
Cobb, Spring Mills, N. J., with Cordova
owned by 1. N. Nottingham of Eastville
Va, second, and Improve, owned by ]. B.
W1seman, Morgantown, w. Va, third. F.
r. Keys McFonso won the three-quarter-
mile running race, with Miss Alfarro
owned by ]. L. Booher, Grafton, w. Va,
third. Two races were pulled off today

he had only said that under the conditions
he had stated they would not have been
seen by the Marblehead.
The court then took a recess until 2
o'clock.
At o'clock the witness was further cross
examined by Mr.. Rayner.
@. (by the COURT What orders were given
you as officer of the deck as to the distance
from shore the Marblehead was to be kept
during the night while on picket duty off
Santiago2 A. There was no general order
The commanding officer was on the bridge
frequently when night shut down paced tho
ship and said, Keep her about here" or
Run her ten minutes on this course and
ten minutes on that" But 80 far as general
orders were concerned knew Of none.
Lieut.. Bennett Called.
Lieut.. Ernest L. Bennett, flag lieutenant
on board the New York during the war
with Spain, was called to the stand and
asked in regard to the forwarding of dis
patches from Key West to Commodore
Schley May 20, 1893. He did not know any,
thing about dispatches said to be sent on
the Dupont, Iowa or from near Havana on
the Hawk. It was not his business to know
what dispatches were sent.
Lieut.. Marsh Called.
Lieut.. Charles e. Marsh, flag secretary
OF Admiral Sampson on board the New
York. was called to the stand. He testified
concerning dispatches sent by Admiral
Sampson to Commodore Schley

Strength of Land Batteries.
Q. Did you at any time make any notes
or observations concerning the strength Of
batteries on shore? A Not particularly
They did not seem to be troubling us
great deal. None of the shots apparently
from the Colon came anywhere near u.s.
and only a few Of the others came in our
immediate vicinity. l think two or three
shots came near the Massachusetts,, and /
believe one small one went over us.
Q. What conclusion did you reach In re-
gard to the caliber of guns firing upon you?
A 1 did not think they were guns of very
should think they were about six-inch.
.. Did you have any further opportunity
to reach conclusion in regard to the cali
Der of these guns and the strength Of these
batteries, and II so state when and what
conclusion you did reach? A. After the
31st Of May, while the Massachusetts, was
still on the blockade, we went In for bonn
bardment, I think. on three occasions, the
9th and 10th Of June and the I'd Of July.
After few minutes firing the Spaniards
evidently deserted their guns and sought
withdraw they generally returned to their
guns and sent one shot at each ship
@. (By tine court) Were you ordered to
direct your fire on the Colon or on the bat
teries on May 81? A. The Colon entirely.
Q. By whom were you so ordered? A.
cannot recollect whether the order was
given by the commanding officer of the ship
or by Commodore Schley, but It was prob
ably given by the commanding officer. AT
