Houston, Texas. November 29--
There was a tragic and feaful scene
enacted this morning in the clerks
offices of the freight department of
the Texas and New Orleans railroad
The depot is situated on Liberty av-
enue between Walnut and Vine streets
in the Fifth ward
About half past seven this morning
Mr.. Ira Van Sickle, shipping clerk In
the freight office. and an old and
trusted employee of the Southern Paci-
fic road. came to his office as usual
and after bidding everyone cheerful
good morning sat down at his desk
preparatory to beginning the work of
the day. No one could have foretold
at that time that in the brief space Of
10 or 10 minutes his soul would have
left its tenement of clay and wendell
its fight to its creator Perhaps he
did not know himself that he would
take his own life.
Be that as it may, when the hands
of the big clock on the wall told that
the hour was 7;4O, he took a brand
new 3S-callbre Colts revolver from his
trousers pocket, put the barrel in his
mouth and fired, upon which he gave
one groan and fell to the floor near
the big stove the blood gushing from
his mouth and head

New York, Nov. 80 Half a million
dollars is the estimate of the loss by
fire last evening in the vicinity of
North street and East River. Sew
eral firemen We're hurt, hut none Sc
riously The blaze started up in the
plant of w. o. Uptegrove & Bros,
manufacturers of boxes, veneers and
fine woodwork, and this firm was the
principal sufferer One Of it's build
ings was seven-story structure,
while those surrounding it were one
story buildings.
From the Standard Oil company'g
depot on Eleventh street thousands of
gallons of oil were drained into the
river to prevent great explosion and
resulting congregation. After the fire
was thought to be hunder control it
broke out again and spread toward the
Mutual Gas company's plant. This
outbreak was caused by a fireman
dropping a burning window sash into
the street. The street was flooded
with water on which was thick
coating of oil. This was ignited and
the flames eaped into the gas com
pany's property The fire then turned
back across the tsreet and the i'm
mense stock of lumber owned by
Hegermeyer & Sons was ignited. 1t
comprised about 100000 feet of val
uble goods. The lumber yards of j.
M. saulpugh were also reached by
the flames and great damage was
done
Fire Chief Croker estimates the loss
at about half million dollars. He
estimates that the loss to j. M. Saul
pugh would be s125OOO: w. o. Upte-
grove $3.50 900; Mutual Gas company,
100000; G. M. Hergermeyer, $3.50, 900;

IRONING A sH1kr WAIST.


Not infrequently a young woman
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do It, Hence these direc-
tons for ironing the waist; To iron
summer shirt waists SO that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours, When
ironing have bowl of water and a
clean piece Of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back. then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear APP
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top Of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be we'll aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away. says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

VIII Not Interfere.

The supreme court Monday refused
to issue writ of probable cause in the
case of "Diamondfield Jack" Davis
case, sentenced to hang at Albion on
Friday of this week for the murder of
John @. Wilson in February, 1899. The
case was carried to the supreme court
on appeal from. the order made by
Judge Stewart, sitting for Judge
Perky, denying the defendant new
trial. The appeal has gone over to the
October term of the supreme court,
and, under the circumstances, it was
necessary to get certificate OF prob
able cause from that tribunal if stay
of execution was to be secured without
executive action:
Davis will not hang on Friday, how
ever, as Governor Hunt has indicated
that he will grant him reprieve SO
that the board of pardons may act on
the case. The board will meet on. July
g.. The governor desires to secure an
opinion from the attorney general to

ofexecution or whether the defendant
will have' to be resentencedi. This
opinionA will be given today and the

We Will Watch for Him.

Caldwel1's most recent woe is
thus recorded by the News: A
long haired guy claiming to be a
magnetic healer, has been hanging
around town for several days,
making himself busy prophesying
as to the future welfare of the town
and its citizens. When Marshal
Kirkpatrick notified him Monday
to leave town and go some place
where his supernatural powers were
appreciated more than here, for a
few minutes he made things lively
Keeling off skein Of prophesies he
yet had in store. He predicted
that the marshal would die VIC
lent death on next Monday and
that Rev. Wilder would soon pass
over the great divide because ha
did not approve of Mr.. Wilder's
sermon which he went to hear last
! Sunday night. Not satisfied with
this, he prophesied that the whole
town was cursed and that nothing
but misfortune would be melted on:
to- any Of her citizens.
