OTTAWA ONTARIO
 HAD NARROW ESCAPE
A Costly Confagration Started by An
 Ex Convict.

Ottawa. Ont, May 10.-Fire of sus- pected incendiary origin this afternoon and evening destroyed hundreds of houses and millions of feet of lumber in this city. John White, who had just been released from the penitentiary after serving a term for arson, was caught near where the fire was first discovered. He was taken to the police station, and will be charged with start ing today's oCnflagration.
 The fire originated within stones throw of where the great hall fire of April 26. 1900. was checked. It swept along over the same ground that the former fire had gone. the only differ ence being that it was going in the opposite direction. The fire area was on the flats below a large cliff which extends from the Ottawa river into the corner of Margaret and Preston streets. At two or three points it came very near getting over the cliff, and had it done so, nothing would have saved the city.
 At 9.3O tonight the fire was under con trol, having been confined to the fol- lowing area: The Ottawa and Parry Sound railway on the south, Division street on the east, First avenue on the west and the Richmond road on the north. From the Parry Sound road to the Richmond road is about one mile, and from First avenue to Division street is aboIt one quarter of mile. mil nf hNlnn D.. ing principally to J. R. Booth, were de-. stroyed causing a loss oi about SG00,- 0CO.
 The buildings burned were principally dwellings and stores, most of which were built since the last great fire and were mostly of brick. It is difficult to place the less on these. There are nearly six hundred families homeless.

ALLEGED ASSASSIN
 OF MARCUM ARRESTED
The Warrant Was Sworn Out by His
 Step Father.

Lexington. Ky. May 10.-Curtis Jett, charged with the assassination of J. 3. Marcum, was captured without blooGshed at o'clock Sunday morning at the home of his mother, Mrs. A. Hag- gin. near Jackson's Ferry. by posse which started from Winchester last right at midnight. Later he was placed in jail at Winchester.
 When the posse arrived at the flag gin home the woman admitted it after same parleying. Jett was in the house and permitted the officers to enter. Jett was found in bed. He shook hands with the sheriff and said he would sur render without trouble, and handed his revolver to his mother. In jail, Jett re- fused to talk about the killing of Mar cum, except to say. "I'll get out of this all right"
 Jett's stepfather, A. Haggin, asserts that when Jest reached the house last night he drew a revolver and ordered him from the neighborhood. Haggiu went to Richmond and swore out T warrant, charging him with the assas- sination. After his arrest, Jett denied that he drove his stepfather from his home. Jett is bitter in denouncing him for causing his arrest, and he said the score would "be evened up" when he was released The report that B. F. Ewen was shot at Jackson last night is untrue. Ewen was with Marcum when the latter was assassinated last Mon day.

THE KANSAS CITY
 MARKET REPORT
Smaller Volume of Receipts But High.
 CT Prices.

Kansas City, Mo, May 10.-A heavy run of cattle in the first half of last week broke prices b to 25 cents, but the loss was almost fully regained be- fore the close of the week, as receipts fell off. The total run of cattle at Kan sas City last week was 31,474 head, as compared with 16,606 cattle in the same week of last year. Good weight fat cows held up we'll, but light heifers and canners lost ground. Poppy stock CTS and feeders also held steady, but other lost from 15 to 30 cents.
 The best price for fat steers was s5.40, and for fat Westerns $5.1O. Many other sales of Western fed steers were from s4.65 up. Some fed Colorado bulls brought $3.7O during the week. West ern cows sold from $3.40 to $40. A bunch of sixty-three choice Colorado stockers brought $4.S0 Thursday, weigh ing S3i pounds. Most Western stock CTS and feeders sold above $4.OOO The run of cattle was moderate today at $500 head. but lower reports from the East caused a weak feeling here. Stock CTS and feeders were scarce, however. and sold fully steady with last week s close. Fed Westerns were about like 
 Friday, and she stuff steady to strong. With moderate receipts prices should advance this week.
 Sheep and lamb receipts at Kansas
 City fell off lost week, the total being 2413S head, about 5000 head less than the previous week but more than twice the receipts of the same week last year, when l1.5OS head were received.

Top Colorado lambs brought S7.12h to- i day. and several sales were made at S7.O0. A load of Western clipped sheep, weighing so pounds. brought $4.S0. Western wooded wethers are worth 1 S5.25 and ewes $500.
