an intense volume of smoke in the

The fire was discovered by Charles

the night clerk, and the two men set

Hanson devoted his attention to

Unsatisfactory-Dan of an
Uprising of the Dutch.

London, Jan. Monday mornings 8
news from Cape Town is again unsat-
,sfactory. Martial law has been pro-
claimed at Malmesbury and would
have been proclaimed in other dis
tricts but that the cabinet meeting
called Saturday was unable to agree
as to it's advisability.
The vagucness of the Information
concerning the movements and posi-
tion of the invaders has sent a fresh
fit over the colonies; and Cape Town
calls loudly for strong reinforce
mcnts on the ground that the greater
part of Lord Kitchcner's available
force is employed in protecting the
lines of communication and the Rand
mines, the latter extending for dis
tance of so miles
1t is asserted by one Cape Town
correspondent that, unless the forces
in Cape Colony are increased most
undesirable state of affairs may re-
suit, as the success in arms of the
invaders, however slight, might be
the signal for "A Dutch rising. AS it
is, many British residents have had

RECORD-BREAKING COURTSHIp
The Marriage License Was Issued in
1862. hut the wedding Did Not
Take Place Until Sunday.

Toledo, o., Jan. 7.--One of the
strangest of romances has come to
Eyht in the probate court. the like OF
which is rarely ever known. A man
and woman, both of whom are three
score years and ten, were licensed to
wed, and neither had ever been mar
ried before.
The groom is Philip w. Breidt, who
for "a years has been a porter in the
employ of the Boydan Co. He is II
years old. His bride, Mary Rail, is
only one year behind him, and they
are the oldest couple ever married in
the county. as far as the records
show. who had not previously enter
ed matrimony.
For nearly 40 years the bride has
patiently waited for the performing G
of the marriage, for which a license
was issued in 1862. The probate court
was not in a position to give out the
facts, but it was learned from another
source that the couple were licensed
to wed 50 years ago by i. A. Jones,
the first probate judge of the county
i'ut thc ySuiS SpSt pN anu ohC VI iuS-
to-be did not see her cherished hopes
realized. just why the marriage was
postponed so long will never be known
probably, but remark made by the
groom may throw some light on it.
Mr.. Braidt said:
II am going to do the right thing
by her now"
The aged groom came to the court
house with the old license and Won
1t authorized him to wed Mary Rail,
and that now he wanted to marry
his choice of many years ago. Every
thing was regular and the license was
all right, but the situation rather
staggered the court, and SO new IL
cenSe was issued.

EQUALIZATION BOARD.
Demand viii he Made on Gov.
Nash to Call the Legislature
to Correct the Law.

Columbus, o., Jan. 4.-Some of the
most prominent of the republican
members of the state board of equal
ization have determined to ask Gov.
Nash to issue a call for an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature.
Their reasons for taking this step
are that they know that the law
which is supposed to confer authority
upon the state board is. as a matter
Of fact, abortive. 1t does not give
them power to do anything except
draw their pay. They may not touch
the grand duplicate of the state, and
il is certain that any attempt to in
terfere with the county or city du-
plicates will result in widespread and
complicated litigation. The members
OF the board are afraid to take a step
forward, knowing that, no matter
what they do under the present i'm
perfect law, it will result in their
findings being attacked through the
courts.

Morris. aged 10, handsome and nc.
omplished. was attacked and cut
with n razor at Hackney. Morgan
county, by Walter A. Weinstock. aged
Is years. who lived near her home.
She was going home across the fields
when Weinstoclk met her and
made indecent proposals to her. She
Immediately started to run. He
grabbed her and threw her to the
ground. She screamed and fought
hard, finally getting to her feet.
Wcinstock drew razor from his
pocket and cut her across the neck,
severing the neck muscles and laying
bare the iugular vein.
Miss Morris grabbed the razor with
her hands and they were cut to pieces
in her mad attempt to rescue herself
from the man. Her fingers were cut
off and her wrist badly cut, as well

ORDERED TO SIGN.
Chinese Desire n Consultation Re-
GardinG the Ruzing of the Forts
and Lega ion Guards.

Peking, Jan. AT a meeting of
the foreign ministers Thursday it
was announced that Lii Hung Chang
and Prince Ching were prepared to
sign an agreement as soon as it was
ready for signature.
Ii Hung Chang desires to conduct
the peace negotiations to conclu-
sion and the physicians attending
him think he might be taken to the
Spanish legation where the confer
ences have been held, if the weather
H. favorable.
The foreign ENJOYS, with the ex-
reption of the British minister, Sir
Ernest Hatow, met Thursday to con-
slider the time and place of the ac-
ceptance and signing of the Joint
note. Nothing definite was decided.
1t seems to be the opinion of some
of the ENJOYS that the acceptance of
the terms Of the note by the Chinese
IS not explicit enough. The Chinese
aesire for consultations regarding the
razing of the forts and the legation
guards is open TO misinterpretation
and liable to lead to long and con-
tiHuous arguments, which might, in
the opinion OF some of the ministers
simply mean sparring for time on the
part of the Chinese. Consequently
the Chinese plenipotentiarics will be
rotifed that they must sign the note
before the meeting between them
and the foreign cnvoys can be kcld.

feature of the second Inauguration of
President Mckinley. if plans now un-

in the hands of an intercollegiate
committee which has addressed in
vitations to the presidents of more
than 400 American institutions of
learning, requesting that delegations
be sent on to represent their respec-

tinctive uniform and banner and that
the result will be pleasing addition
to the other details of the parade.

of pneumonia. but It was given out
no later than a week ago that he
was on the road to recovery.
For several days death had been
feared as the outcome by the close
associates of the great captain of
industry. They realized that the de.
cline from day to day did not cease,
and that there could be but one end
When death came his grand children
who had so close a place in his heart,
were at the family residence, as was
J. Ogden Armour, the surviving son.
The sudden death of his son and
namesake nearly a year ago hung
heavily on him during the closing
months of his life. In fact, he never
recovered from the shock he expert.
enced from that event.
His treadmill of work and his firm
grip on affairs were maintained until
the spring of 1899. Then the machine
began to show signs of breaking. Mr.
Armour was reported to be a sick
man, and these reports were con,
firmed when he sailed for Germany
Ito take baths at Bad Naupeim. He
spent most of the summer at the
baths, and was sufficiently restored in
health to take trip to Switzerland
where he remained month among
the mountains.
When he returned to Chicago that
fall he was looking well, and his
friends hoped his recovery was com
plete.
The death of his son, Philip d. Ar
mour, jr., in Southern California, on
January 20, 1900, was great shocb
to the health-broken man. The son
had gone on a visit to his father and
was takenly suddenly i'll with pneu.
lnonia. His death followed with
scarcely days warning. The son
had largely interested the father and
had inherited the business ability OF
the Armours, and was closely follow.
ing the footsteps of the head when
he was stricken down.
After the death of Philip ID. Ar.
mour, jr., the vast interests of Ar
mour & Co.. which had been carried
on as a co-partnership, were incor-
porated under the old name of Ar
mour & Co. This was to provide
greater stability in case of death,
and made no change in the practical
ownership of properties.
The death of Simeon +. Armour at
Kansas City in March, 1899, caused
no particular change in the Armour
interests, as they were operated as q
stock company.
So carefully had the plans for the
future been made that the death OF
Mr.. Armour will have little effect on
the outward working of the great en-
terprise with which he had been so
closely identified. 1t is believed all
the Armour properties will be held
intact until the grandchildren come
into their own.
Estimates of Mr.. Armour's own es.
tate run from $30,000,00 to $50,00O,.
600. This, of course, does not in.
clude the $15,0O0,0OO or $4,000, ,OO(
owned by the younger members OF
his family. For years every enter
prise he was interested in has been
making immense profits. His hold
