legged ManipulatiOns.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, September 25.-
The Times to morrow will say:
The expert accountants who have
been. at work on the books of the de-
funct Siegel-Sanders Commission Com
pany for several months practically
completed their labors yesterday and
for the first time since the concern
went to the wall, Frank Rockefeller,
the Standard oil capitalist, learned the
full extent of his financial losses.
The startling revelation was made by
the expert accountants that Mr.. Rock
efeller will suffer a loss of near.y $780,
900 as result of alleged manipulation
Of the books of Frank Siegel, the com
pany's former president, who is now
resting under two indictments. One OF
the most interesting features of the
case was made known yesterday when
Mr.. Rockefeller announced that he
would not prosecute Siegel, who is now
out under bond awaiting trial, but,
would leave the entire matter in the
hands of Utley Wedge, receiver of the
company.

at No 80 Sixteenth street. by Louis A.
Juergens She at once raised the alarm
and box go was rung in and the depart
ment was soon on the ground and pre-
vented what might have turned out a
very disastrous fire. The building is a
two-story brick and the fire originated at
the foot OF the stairs in the northeast cor

which was entirely lined with wood, was
soon a mass OF flames. The fire being
hottest at the stairs, where 1t originated

were asleep in the second story, made
good their escape by twininx their bed

to several hundred dollars but when seen

could form no estimate of the loss until
daylight. He states the insurance was
sufficient to cover the loss. He was great
ly pleased with the quick and effective
work Of the fire department and expressed
himself so to Chief Cline.
Mr.. Juergens expressed the belief that
the fire was of incendiary origin, as in the
portion of the building where the fire
originated. there was nothing to cause a
blaze, the gas engine and all gas pipes
being is the other side Of the building.

Velvet for evening wear will be much cut up with lace. golden embroiderieS and painted gauge in- crustations.

 There is every possibility of gold re- maining in favor for early spring models. On many white muslin blous- es (noW made to wear with costumes de tailleur on the Rivera) the tiny tucks are stitched with gold thread, and taff2tas silk blouses are brocaded With gold flowers. This glittering metal is woven in such delicate tis- sues that it is introduced in an Un0b- trusive manner on almost everything Workmanship and embroideries show nc sign of becoming less costly; or the contrary, as ideas are improved 9pon the work seems to become more perfect, Increasing in fnesse and ac- euracy Rich broeaded velvet designs gre often cut away from the silk, leav- ing a space fer an inerustation of lace, and added 10 another portion of the dress, when it is sometimes painted in colors.
