MODERN BLUEBEARD.
Geo. Crossman, of London Had Eight
Wives.


Wives.
London, Eng,-Polygamy and it's in
fluences over George Crossman, who
had eight or more wives, and the de-
velopments following from the suicide
of Crossman, are absorbing public at
tention. On the night of March %
CrOssman, who was living in the re-
spectacle suburb of Kensalrise, killed
himself to avoid arrest by the police,
whose suspicious had been aroused
regarding the contents of a trunk
which CrossmaL was sending away
from his house, On opening the trunk
the body of atiwoman was found en-
cased in cenhent. An investigation
proved that she was murdered about
six months ago and that she was one
of Cheeseman's wives. Five of his
wives were traced and found alive.
One wife is dead and two are missing
The body found cemented is in a
decomposed condition, even to the
skull, which had been split with an
axe.
The police believe it possible the in
vestigation may prove that Crossman
adopted a similar method in Kidding
himself of other wives, of which it is
suspected he may have had several
who have not yet been traced.
Though only 80 years of age, Cross
mans career rivals that of famous
criminals. Under various aliases he
led a double and even triple married
life. He was an engineer, composer,
Wigmaker or bookmaker.

Bradstreet's report follows:

Bradstreets report follows:
Better weather has helped retail
trade. thereby Strengthening the tone
of wholesale and jobbing business. Dis
tribution, as a whole, however, is not
up to a year ago. Additional favor
able features are the unquestionable
better winter wheat condition, dNe to
general rains throughout the south
west and evidences of further activ-
ity and strength IN the iron and steel
trades. Weather conditions have also
allowed an increased outdoor activity,
notably in building, but signs of in
creased tension IN labor matters con-
stitute a drawback at several large
centers.
Spring goods in nearly all lines are
in better request at leading northern
centers.
The situation in the metal markets
generally is very satisfactory one.
Other metals have been rather
stronger, copper notably showing an
increased foreign and domestic de-
mand.

BURNED BABES IN A FURNACE
PHILADELPHIA PARTIES SENT
TO PRISON CHARGED.

PHILADELPHIA, March 81. -Sickening
details of wholesale slaughter of in
fants, who were thrown alive and cry
ing into a seething furnace in house
located in the heart of Philadelphia,
were brought out under oath at an in
quest conducted by Coroner Dugan.
The full story of the horrors of this
crematory, where hundreds of babes
are alleged to have been destroyed IN
fendish torture, may never be told.
The curtain which has shielded these
terrible crimes has, however, been
lifted, and as a result three accused
persons were sent to prison. The place
where these murder of babes is alleged
to have been committed is the house of
Mrs. Elizabeth Ashmead, zoos South
Twelfth street, and these crimes Mrs.
Ashmead is accused of being the prin-
cipal.
This terrible charge was made by
DIR. David Mosier from the witness
tsand in the coroner's court during in
vestigation into the deaths of Sarah
Hughes and Mary b. Sloan. DR.. Mosier
swore he had seen Mrs. Ashmead throw
living infants nj to red hot furnace
in the cellar Of her house The specta-
tors who crowded the coroner's Office
were held spell bound during the blood
curdling story. The accused woman,
with eyes closed and trembling, sue
cumbed completely under the frightful
accusation and fell back swooning in
her daughters arms.
Following the verdict, Mrs. Ashmead,
and DIR. Matthew McVicker were COM
n iJted to the county prison to await
action of the grand jury.
Both victims, according to the evil
dence, had been operated ON at the
South Twelfth street house
The Hughes woman had died there,
but Miss Sloan, while STEERING from the
effects of an operation, had been re-
moved TO the house of Mrs. Mary

NEW YORK FIRE SPECTACULAR.
Myriads of People Given a Succession
of Real Thrills.

New York.-All of Wall street and
the downtown district were thrown in
TO excitement recently by fire which
started in the building at 81 Broad
way, occupied by the Morris European
& American EXI ress company.
The fire spread to the adjoining
building. occupied by the Adams Elk
press Co, but was brought under con
troll shortly after l o'clock, nearly two
hours after its start, and at that time
the loss was estimated by an under
writer at 100000 but nothing could
be learned regarding the insurance.
When the neighborhood in which
the fire occurred is taken into consid-
Grafton, 1t is the most spectacular day
time blaze that has occurred for a
long time in that part of the city.
Thousands of people poured forth from
the thickly populated financial dis
tricts into the narrow canyon on Broad
way, and massed back for squares
above and below the blaze. The tow
ering skyscrapers that faced the fire
had a group of people at every Win
dow
The burning buildings reached
through to narrow alley on the rear,
and through it swept clouds of smoke
into Broadway, so thick that only oc-
casionally could the flames be SEEN
The smoke rolled up the street, hem
med in by the tall buildings, and great
flaming brands fell thickly in the
crowds.
Closely following the first alarm
another was turned in, and then, with
the Baltimore fire in mind, two
nine" the dreaded general alarm, fol-
lowed Engine after engine, followed
by their hose trucks, water towers and
ladder trucks, swept changing down
Broadway, the only street of access
to the fire, bringing in their wake adj
ditional thousands of people to swell
the crowd that already packed every
inch Of standing room in the vicinity.
Bursting hose and a black roll of
choking smoke now and then drove
them back, and aided the police re-
serves to clear the streets.

BRITT is CHAMPION.
Wins Decision From Young Corgett in
Twenty Rounds.

Wins Decision From Young Corgett in
Twenty Rounds.
James Britt OF California was given
the decision over William Rothwell
better known as Young Corbett" of
Colorado, in 20 round contest at San
Francisco. Up to the 18th round Cor
belts advantage was apparent, but in
that round Britt rallied and rained
right and left blows on various por-
tons of Corbett's anatomy, forcing the
champion to clinch to save himself.
The styles of the two boxers were en-
tirely distinctive. Britt fought for the
body most Of the time, while Corbett
devoted himself to the face, head and
jaw. Britt weighed just 129 pounds,
but COrbett's weight was not made
public though it is understood it was
at least a pound and half below the
agreed weight, 1870 pounds.
Both men fought hard in every
round. Britt, in his crouching atti-
tude, was able to guard his stomach
effectively, though Corbett was able to
land hard on his head and jaw. In the
first few rounds Britt found the Den
yer mans stomach repeatedly, though
his blows lacked steam.
A Great Fight.
1t was without doubt the greatest
! fight fought in California. Britt's abil-
ity to assimilate punishment and his
endurance were simply marvellous. At
no time during the 20 rounds did Britt
/ break ground. He always brought the
/ fight to Corbett. Britt was severely
punished, yet was at all times willing
to take more, and finally outgamed
the champion. The pace that both
men set was of a nature to make both
tired. However, their condition, after
a minutes respite, brought them to the
center of the ring with renewed vigor
/ Britt was better at the outfghting
Corbett superior in the infghting. Britt
had the BEST footwork and the greatest
speed. Corbett showed himself the
cleyerer fighter at times and the heav
Ter hitter.
After the fight Referee Eddie Graney
said: q simply gave the decision tt
the man who had the best of the
/ fight"
Up to the 18th round Corbett hat
the better of the fight, but from this
round on Britt outfought Corbett a.
every stage of the game
When Corbett reached his dressing
room he burst into tears.
There were about 5000 people il
tendance. The club officials state
It the receipts would total about
900, which is the greatest amoun
contested for by fighters of Cor
and Britt's calibre. Included il
semblage were prominent sport
en- from all over the country.

George WashIngtOn's Will

New York, March } ~ An at
tempt has been made, according to
dispatches from Alexandria, Va.
to steal the will Of George Wash
ington from the Clerks office OF
the Fairfax County court house.
The outer doors Of the vault were
shattered by the explosive used
but the document, which reposes
in a glass case with other valuable
papers, was unframed.
It is supposed the would-be
thieves fed without accomplishing
their object because Of the unex-
pectedly loud explosion, which
aroused many persons residing near
the court house. The will is in
Washington's writing and was
made the year Of his death. 1t
covers twenty-nine closely written
pages, each of which bears the
signature Of the first President.

ChIckasaW Legislature

Denison, Tex, March 3 Gov.
P. S. Mosely Of the Chickasay
Nation has issued a call conven-
ing the Chickasaw Legislature in
extraordinary session at Tissomin-
80 on Monday, March IA.
The Legislature is called in ex-
traordinary session for the purpose
'of devising ways and means to pay
off the school warrants Of
the Chickasaw Nation. The
Chickasaw school warrants are all
far overdue, which is working a
great hardship upon the teachers
ard contractors of the Chickasaw
schools, and threatens to seriously
interfere with the schools unless
the condition is relieved at once.
There is now more than enough
money in the U. S. subtreasury at
ST. Louis to the credit OF the Chick
asaw school fund to pay off all
warrants outstanding and to run
the schools for the balance Of the
term. It is thought the Legisla-
tue may easily remedy existing
conditions and secure the payment
of this money to the proper auth
orities, SO that school warrants,
now long overdue, may be bald.
