Bremerhaven was made impressive by
its simplicity. The Emperor did not
want great show because that, per-
haps, would spoil the impression of
the great American reception. Besides

END OF THE RIDDLES.
Brothers Who Broke From PittsburR
Jail RetaIxen and Are Dead.

|
BUTLER, Pa, Feb. 3.-The terrible
fate of the Biddles is still the sole top
Ic of conversation here. All day yester-
day a curious throng of people, defy
ing the storm, hung about the Jail en-
trance in a vain attempt to get in to,
see the bodies of the dead murderers.
A great deal of sympathy for the boys
was expressed on all sides. The Jail
doors were closed all day, and no one
got in but the doctors who attended
the autopsy and the c0rOner's jury,
which organized at O'Clock in the
morning. Even the newspaper report
ers were excluded from the inquest,
which was held in the Jail, and moth
ing concerning their deliberations
could be learned until late in the after
noon.
The verdict of the jury is that Ed
Biddle came to his death by a revolver
shot fired from 80 caliber revolver
by himself and that Jack Biddle met
his death from a gunshot wound in
ficted by the officers in discharge of
their lawful duty.
The evidence secured by the autopsy
bears out the statements that the Bid
dies intended to kill themselves rather
than be taken alive and that Ed sue
ceeded in his attempt, while Jack fail
ed, though his life was forfeited.
The bodies were sent to Pittsburg
this morning.

FOUR ACRESOF RUINS
Fire In Waterbury, Conn.,
Ragged For Fifteen Hours.
SECOND BLAZE LAID TOAN INCENDlARY
Exact Amount of the City's Loss YET
UnObtainabIe, but Is VariousIy
Estimated at From Three
to Four Millions.

WATERBURY,, Conn, Feb 4.-Ihe
most disastrous fire in the history OF
Waterbury broke out in the heart OF
the city shortly before 6:3O p. N. Sun
day A large section of the busl-
ness part Of the city has been wiped
out. The fire originated in the uphol-
stery department on the third floor OF
the store of the Reid & Hughes Dry
Goods company at 10S-112 Bank street,
and that store as well as many adJoln-
ing buildings are smodering cinders.
When the fire department reached
the scene, flames were issuing from
every window of the building, and it
was evident that the structure was
doomed, and the entire business sec
ton of the city was imperiled.
There is suspicion that the fire that
destroyed the Scovill House, burning
up thousands upon thousands Of dol
lars worth Of furniture, appointments
and personal effects and imperiling
many lives, was the work of fire
fiend
The fire came so closely on the heels
of the big coniagration that the thou
sands of spectators who witnessed it
were thrown into a more complete
panic than the original cOndagration
caused.
For fifteen hours the heart of this
city was a sea of flame, and when the
cOnfagratiOn died away with the gale
it was estimated that between $4,000,
900 and $4O0OOO0 damage had been
done. With the wind roaring at sixty
miles an hour over the city all of the
fire departments of the state were pow
erless to cope with the destroying wall
of fire.
All of the buildings in the business
/ triangle bounded on the north by tx
change place, on the west by Bank
street on the south by Grand street
and on the east by South Main street,
embracing four acres of the center of
the city, are in ruins.
The fire cut through the heart of the
city, and the appearance of the gaping
opening from Leavenworth to Brook
streets was typical of the deep wound
sustained by the commercial life and
Importance of the city.
A tangled network OF wires on banh
/ and South Main streets greatly hinder
ed the work of eXtinguiShing the last
! flames and clearing away the wreck
/ age.
! A revised list of losses and insurance
is very difficult to obtain at this time.
Few know just what the loss was on
their buildings and stock. 1t is believed
that when the truth is known the fig
ures already printed will not be far
from the correct estimate.
The remarkable feature of the fire
was undoubtedly the absence, so far as
known, of loss of life. Two men who
were asleep in the Scovill House,
| Charles Y. Kent of the Holmes, Booth
& Hayden company and member of
the board of education and the second
cook, German, were reported miss
ing, but both have been located.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-The reports of
damage caused by the wind and snow
storms on the continent and in Great

rage and street car traffic in Madrid
has been stopped, and railroad trains
are delayed. Some of the towns in
northern Spain are isolated, and the
fruit trees have been destroyed. In
Switzerland many villages are cut off
from communication. Telegraphic COM
munication with Italy is interrupted.
Several more wrecks off the British
and French coasts are reported, and
the crews of some of these vessels have
been lost. Numerous ships are overdue.
There are heavy SHOWS in the northern
part of Great Britain.

WU'S ART CRITICISM.

Noted Painters Work

WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minister,

fundamental difference between the
oriental and the occidental brands of
art, says a Washington report.
Hubert Vos, the noted Dutch paint
ev, happened to have on exhibition in
the Hemicycle a number of portraits
of representative types of various
races. Mr.. Vos had strayed far afield

included the presentmentso of Thibetan

traits of Prince Ching and Ii Hung

Within a day or so, however, the

operation was decided upon. 1t was
