DldZe al d. Ill.
 Bridgeport, Aug 5.-A fire which started about the chimney in the kitchen of Otto Lehmann's shore house at the foot of Seaview avenue this morning at 1 o'clock burned up through the building and roof, entail- ing total loss of $1,OOO How the fire originated is not known. {. MT Lehman was awakened by the pounding and screams of two servant girls at his bedroom door on the sec Ond floor. He rushed from the room and found the flames breaking through the floor. The bedroom of the servants is adjoining that of Mir Leh- mann, and they were awakened none too soon.
 Mir Lehman awoke his wife and two daughters, Sophie and Margaret and conducted them from the huild- ing. which was filled with smoke. He telephoned to No house and then shouted to a neighbor, William Gren- inger Mir Greninger had been awak- ened by the shouts of the family, and he ran to box 521 and turned in the alarm.
 It Was IonS run TUT tic ucpdie ment, but steamer No 6 arrived in very quick time. No ? steamer, car riage and truck arrived d few minutes after the first steamer.

POWER
OF THE
TRUSTS

One Of the appalling disclosures
made by Mr.. Charles Edward Russell
in the first installment Of "The Great.
est Trust in the world,' in Every.
body's Magazine for August, is the
following:
Water is a great matter in Pask.
ingtown. Now, in Chicago, the city owns
and operates the water supply. Large
users Of water are supplied through
meters and pay according to the
amount they consume. For long
time the small sums paid for water by
the packing-houses had aroused annual
comment. In 1900 the uninformed
public broke out into such general
clamor about the obvious leakage that
the city authorities (somewhat belat-
edly, one would think) began an inves-
tigation. Men with pickaxes and
spades uncovered the public mains
about Packingtown, Before long the
had discovered that 4yery considera-
BILE packing-house had secret eonnec-
tions with the water supply. There
were pipes of various sizes, three inch
and four inch, six inch and eight inch,
each leading from the city's ccnduits
TO the works Of some packing compa-
ny. In come cases tunnels had been
driven under the streets to the mains,
and taps inserted. In one case the
mains themselves had been diverted
from the highway through the works,
and on one Of these city.owned pipes
one firm had planted three great pumps
busily engaged in drawing water. And
for all this supply thus surreptitiously
obtained the packers paid not cent.
"Great indignation followed when
tho public learned the real reason for
the short water supply, and the pack
ers' small payments 20 the water fund.
"But here a very curious circum-
stance was TO be observed. The chief
offenders were the greatest houses.
In the cases Of the small packers, the
city exeavators relentlessly barred the

the cases of the Swift and Armour
companies, the work invariably stopped

POLICE BAFFLED BY FIRE.
Raiders Found Pool Room Parapher-
MALTA Smoldering on Floor.

Fire was used to battle the police yester-
day In one of the biggest race-track pool
room raids made in New York city during
recent months. Forty men were arrested
in the raid. The alleged pool room was on
East Sth street. on the third floor OF a FIVE
story building.
When the police appeared paraphernalia
was heaped on the floor of the room and
set on fire. Although the building itself
also caught fire, the men in the room lock-
ed themselves in behind steel-barred doors,
and. raising the windows so that the smoke
could escape. they shouted in unison, Fire!
FIRE." A panic Immediately broke out In
another part of the building among a lot of
factory girls. who rushed downstairs upon
the police. and who had to be rescued and
quieted before the raid could continue.
The streets below were filed with a
bowling crowd. whose efforts to locate the
fire and to help the girls still more i'm
peded the police. When the officers enter
ed the room the last vestiges of what
was the evidence which they hoped
to secure was burning on the floor. The
fire had already spread to one of the walls,
but was extingulshed by the police.

Criminal Eluded Authorities for Years
by Masquerading as Woman.

After eluding the authorities for seven
years by masquerading in women's clothes
and posing as the wife of farmer Virginia
Jackson, a name assumed by the man. has
been found out and his life's secret exposed.
He committed crime and escaped to Jones'
vile, La, where he died yesterday, when
his sex was revealed.
Virginia Jackson was fugitive from jus
tice. His crime was hidden and its secret
buried with the body. Seven years ago ne
was married to Posey. They lived as man
and wife UP to Virginia's death. The lattci
always dressed woman and did the
housework They visited their friends and
went to church without exciting suspicion.
Parties were given at the house at which
Mrs" Posey acted as hostess. They were
regarded as the most affectionate couple in
the neighborhood Virginia was taken sick
and nursed by Posey. Death came. and
when the neighbors prepared the body for
burial they discovered that the wife was
a man. A letter was found supposed to
have been written by the mother to the
fugitive.
Jim. come home and take off your dress
and put on your pants, for the thing has
been forgotten" wrote the mother.
The man-wife wrote letter on his death
bed requesting that his body be left I'M
dressed when placed in the coffin, but the
corpse was laid out in mans clothing. Posey
confessed that he had harbored Virginia as
friend to shield him from the authorities.
