Are SUSPECTED,

Aberdeen, S. D., March 10. - Two
meat markets on the main street of
the city, the Lockington market and
the Stewell- Yeoman market, were
broken into last night and ro3bed. At
the Lexington market the thieves

cleaver; smeared the furniture with
sausage, played havoc generally, and
left note in the day book stating
that they would call again. The po-

RESIDENCE BURNED.
Home Of Mr.. Lake Swept Away by
fire Last Night.

At half past 10 o'clock last night the
residence of Mr.. Thos. ID. Lake To-
Gated In the Western suburbs OF the
city was discovered on nre and in less
than an hour it had been burned to the
ground.
The fire seems to have originated in
the roof or the boxing, as most of the
top was in flames when discovered Mr..
Lake and members Of his family had
retired. Those in the lower rooms
were the first awakened. AT first there
was great uneaslness felt in the mat.
ter of rescuing those occupying up
stairs rooms. BY quick work however
they were aroused and safely assisted
from the rapidly burning building.
Comparatively little OF the furniture
and other household goods was saved.
The fire companies hurried to the
scene promptly, but there was little for
them to do save protect the outbuild-
ings as the house was past saving when
1t was reached.
Mr.. Lake estimates his loss between
81, 500 aud SO, 900.
Hi, furniture was insured In DR..
Dial's Agency for $1,000. The amount
on house could not be asceItalned last
night.

HONOR SECRETARY HAY,
French Government Confers Grand
Cross of the Legion of Honor
on American Official,

Washington, July 16.-The secretary
of state received notification Thursday
from the French embassy that on the
occasion of the French national fes-
tival of the 14th Of July, the govern
ment of the republic had conferred on
him the dignity of grand cross of the
Legion of Honor, in recognition of the
services rendered during the last six
years by the American department of
state toward the maintenance of the
peace of the world. The secretary Of
state, who has hitherto declined all
propositions of this nature, felt that
he could not refuse so signal an honor
from the great European republic,
considering the motive which prompt
ed it. He thereupon sent to the
French embassy note expressing his
grateful appreciation of the offer,
which he accepted subject to the ap-
proval Of congress.
