Stamford sanitarium Burned.

Stamford, Feb 5.-A three story frame building of the group com prising Dr Amos J. Givens's sani- tarium, two miles north of this city, was destroyed by fire to-day and the twelve or fourteen patients who were sleeping in the building were removed to another building with out difficulty. The loss is estimated at $15,000 and the fire was con- fined to this one building, although 1t looked at times as if the flames would spread to several others of the group of twenty structures used by Dr Givens. Tho ground floor con- tained the offices of the sanitarium and also the doctors headquarters and recreation hall and on the two upper floors were located patients sleeping quarters Had the fire gained much headway before it was discovered doubtless there would have been some narrow escapes, but the flames, which started in the base ment, were seen in ample time to allow the patients to leave the build ing. Nearly all the patients in this building were convalescent and after dressing themselves, helped to fight the flames. There was no confusion whatever among the other patients on the ground.
 The fire probably started as the result of a defective fiue and the loss is nearly covered by insurance.

Rector Uses Strong Language Against
 the Emperor.

Strasburg, Feb. 5.-Some remarks made by the Catholic rector of the village of Ars on the occasion of the birthday of Emperor William January 27, have caused lively sensation in clerical an dmilitary circles in Alsace. The rector said:
 Good Catholics have no reason to celebrate the emperor's birthday Catholics are here only in order tc pay taxes and serve in the army When responsible offices are vacant we are pushed aside. Our duty on this occasion is to pray God to endow the emperor with more insight"

THAW'S LAWYERS DISAGREE.

New York, Feb. 5.-Differences of opinion among the lawyers for Harry K. Thaw as to the advisability of ap. plying for writ of habeas corpus to free the slayer of Stanford White from the Matteawan Asylum For the Grim. inal Insane have resulted in a split among the men, who brought about Thaw's acquittal.
 Martin w. Littleton, Daniel o'Reilly, A. R. Peabody and Evelyn Thsw were to have conferred in the Hotel Bel. mont. but at the last moment Littleton remembered he had dinner engage. ment, and he did not attend the con. ference. o'Reilly and Peabody, 1t was evident, were piqued at Littleton's alb sence. They lntlmated that the pro cedure for obtaining Thaw's release from the asylum would be decided upon by them without consulting Lit. tleton. Thaw. it is said, is giving the officials at Matteawan asylum a great deal of trouble because he is not allow. ed wines and other unusual privileges.

FIGHTING FIRES
Business SecIlon of New Ramp shire Attacked In Two Places
 Loss is $4oO,O0O.

Berlin, N. H., Feb 1.-Two separ- ate fires in the business section of this town, which burned last night and early today, were controlled after five hours, during which time the en- tire business district was threatened, burning as they did at both ends, and an aggregate damage estimated at $40O 700 was caused. Although con troll shortly after 1 o'clock, the build. lgs continued ablaze until after daylight. Numerous shifts in the wind, accompanied by increased strength, kept the fremen from two outside cities, who had been summon ed to help, on their mettle to pre- vent a further spread.
 The Green block, in which the first blaze originated, which was occupied by business houses as well as shel- tering some forty tenants and the Berlin National bank, were destroyed by fire at the lower end of the town, which was the first; and six tenement buildings, several blocks up Main street were burned to the ground by the second fire. The two fires, burn- ing at each end of the business section, alarmed the local officials, and help was summoned from Portland ana Lewiston, Maine. The help from these cities, which consisted of an en- zine, supply of hose, and company of firemen in each case, was respon- sible for the early mastery over the flames, as the local department was unable to cope with the fire to any great extent, the only engine in town having broken down during the early stages of the fire and the two hydrant streams which were brought to bear on the Green block, was insufficient to quench even the early flames.
 The first fire originated in the base ment of the E. A. Burbank company, furniture dealers, among pile of ex- celsior, and communicated through the three stories of the block and were carried by strong westerly wind to the building of the Berlin National bank, directly across the street, which was, like the Green block, burned to the ground. While the attention of the firemen was divided between these two fires, a third broke out some 800 yards up Main street in the boot and shoe establishment of J. G. Marrier. The Marrier store was located in a building situated in the center of a nest of tenement buildings and before control was gained over the flames, five of these had been reached by the flames and were later completely de- 'stroyed.
 The telephone exchange was desert- ed by the operators some time after the flames reached the Gerrish build- ing, in which it was located, and al- though service was interrupted during the night. 1t was resumed again early today.

MARRIAGE IS OFF
Countess of Yarihmousb. For. merly Miss Alice Thaw,
 Wins Her Suit
BEARD IN PRIVATE

London, Feb. 5.-Sir Birrell Barnes president of the divorce court to-day granted the Countess of Yarmouth
 who was Miss Alice Thaw, of Pitts. ! burg, a decree nullifying her mar. riage to the Earl of Yarmouth. The case was heard in private. Al the time fixed for the commencement of the proceedings every one not ac- tually engaged on the case was ex- cluded from the court room The case was practically undefended and the hearing lasted for only half an hour The countess attired in a fashion able black gown was present but the earl of Yarmouth was not in court.
 The papers in the case are being kept secret and all information re- garding the nature of the charges has been carefully withheld. The state ment was made however that the character of the medical evidence tc be given made public hearing inad- visable.
 It has been well known for two years past that the domestic affairs of the Yarmouths were unhappy. The earPs companions and his manner of living, it was said, were such that he could not give his wife the place in society which she had a right to ex- pect. She supplied large sums of money to defray her husbands ex- trayagances, and her friends say that she has conducted herself with dig nity throughout the troubles result ing from this unhappy union and the difficulties of her brother, Harry Ken dall Thaw.
 The fact that the countess had de- cided to seek an annulment of her marriage was made known here Jan uary 3, when she applied to the di- vorce court for decree. ....
 The Hertford family, the head of which is the Earl of Yarmouth's fath- CT. to whom the earl is heir as eldest son of the sixth marquis, is one of the oldest and proudest of the British nobility. The marchioness of Hert- ford stood by her daughter-in.Iaw throughout her troubles and exerted herself to reconcile the couple. but ip vain. The family of the earl is much distressed at the notoriety brought upon it as result of the action talk. en by the countess.
 Since her marriage the countess has made her home in England.
 Alice Cornelia Thaw, daughter of the late William Thaw of Pittsburg was married to George Francis Alex ander Seymour. earl of Yarmouth, at Calvary church, Pittsburg, April 27 1903. The marriage followed rath- CT brief courtship and stopped the earl's stage career which had begun in private society theatricals at New. port and had later been more or less successful in. professional way.
 Lady Yarmouth has always been the favorite of the family with her brother. Harry Kendall Thaw, whose second trial for the killing of Stan. ford White, resulted in an acquittal on the ground of insanity. She was present all through the first trial of her brother, but did not come to New York for the second hearing.

10000 MEN IDLE.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works Has Had No Orders Since
 December
SOME CALLED BACK

Philadelphia, Feb. 5.-Ten thou sand men have been laid off since De- cember by the Baldwin Locomotive works of this city, because of lack of orders for engines. Samuel M. Vauclain member of the firm said:
 No substantial orders have come in since December. We have receiv- ed few scattered orders, and are working upon these now. Whereas we were formerly turning out about 60 locomotives week, we are now turning out only 20, and we will have finished up all our work in short time. Then, unless we receive some substantial orders in the meantime we will have to close.
 Our full working force is about 19,000 but the lack of orders has compelled us to lay off 10000 work men since December. The heaviest layoffs started about January l..
 What has been responsible for this?" was asked.
 Lack of orders not only from Am erican but European sources. Japan is in financial trouble and is sending us no orders at all It is the same everywhere not only in America but the countries from which we have received orders"
