Placement of one Of the most romantic
and grandly historical paths in human
expedition-the closing curtain in the
most picturesque drama Europe has
afforded. The Napoleonic spectacle
was full OF surprises; Its argument mar

war; its complexities detail the en-
thralment of personal magnetism and
force.
The superbly built road over the
Alps has remained one of the most fas-
cinating diversions for the thoughtful
tourist, and has been fraught with
memorable experiences. From the mo-
ment of embarkatlon in the yellow dill

over the heads of the post horses at
Brieg, until the arrival in the gorge Of
the Condo at Iselle, 1t was a continu-

the ascension of the Simplon began It
became a long series of wlndlngs
through fortified defles leading around

FIRE
CITY OF WILkEsBARRE, PA,
SWEPT BY FLAMES ON
SUNDAY.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 22-One of
the most DISASTROUS fires that has oc-
Cured in this city in some years
started at an early hour Sunday morn
ing and not until afternoon were the
firemen able to control the flames. The
loss entailed will reach fully 100000.
The fire originated in the millinery
department on the second floor of the
Isaac Long dry goods house in the
Wells building on the west side of the
public square, one of the handsomest
and costliest structures in the city /.
When first discovered the flames were
promptly controlled by the firemen in
less than one hour. A second fire
broke out In the basement Of the
building about an hour after the first
one had been subdued.
A careful investigation was made by
experts, who declare the fire was
caused by the crossing of two electric
wires, the water used to quench the
first flames following some of the
wires into the basement of the build
ing, where short circuit was form ed
causing a flash from a large dynamo
which started the SECOND fro among
some inflammable dry goods there
which spread with great rapidity and
before the general alarm could be
sounded the entire building was a
mass Of flame.

This statement of expenses was
made public last February, causing a
sensation in Dennison's circle Of
friends. Then came Shercliffe's confes.
|sion
shercIIffe's Clean Breast.
In February, 1902, shercliffe broke
the parole which had been given him
by Governor Shaw, and was again
placed behind the bars at Fort Madi-
son. At this all the forces and circum-
stances which had been gathering in
storm cloud over Dennison burst
over his head and all his connection
with Shercliffe and his alleged activity
in the criminal world were urged
against him.
Shercliffe, spurred on, as it Is urged,
by the failure of Dennison to share
the proceeds of the robbery and his
further failure to secure parole,
made confession of length to Elmer
E. Thomas, attorney for the civic fed
GRAFTON of Omaha, and County Attor-
ney L. W. Fallon OF Harrison county.
This confession and the probability of
| it's reiteration on the witness stand by
Shercliffe is the gist of the charge
against Dennison
In this confession Shercliffe states
that Dennison planned the Pollock dia.
mond robbery and was to have given
Shercliffe half the proceeds for the
commission Of the crime.
: He said he was to commit the rob.
berry, secrete the stolen gems in a
place where they might easily be re-
covered and then notify Dennison, who
would drive out and get them. He
said that he performed his part of the
bargain, in that he robbed Pollock and
hid the stones in certain location
near a school house near Missouri Val
ley, Iowa. Then, he says, he notified
Dennison, who afterwards recovered
the diamonds and disposed of them.
