BIG FIRE AT RENO.
WheeIman's Theatre and ST. Aquinis
Cathedral Destroyed.
Especial to The neutrality-suspicious.

Especial to The Herald-R Republican,
Reno, New, Dec. H.-Fire broke out to-
night at $40 o'clock in the Wheelmen
theatre and in a few minutes the mann
moth frame structure was a seething
caldron Immediately adjoining it stood
the magnificent newly constructed St.
Thomas AIUinis Catholic cathedral
erected last year at a cost of about &c.,
900. The elegant organ, vestmants, affairs.
etc, cost about $4,000. All efforts to con-
fine the COuflagratiOn to the theatre
failed and it was soon apparent the ca
thedTal was also doomed BY 1890 o'clock
the theatre was a complete mass of ru-
ins, all walls down. while only the front,
containing two lofty cUpOlas and side
brick walls, remained of the cathedral.
The roof of the latter fell, burying near
ly everything with it, Some of the vest
ments and Cadlesticks were saved. but
the loss is almost total. Several firemen
barely saved their lives when the roof
fell. Strangely, the Twentieth Century
club a larg- frame building adjoining the
theatre on the south, was only scOrched.
The loss to the theatre is about $4,000,
including fixtures, stage settings and
wardrObes, with $1,000 insurance. The loss
10 the cathedral totals about $4,000, with
only $4,000 insurance The original of
the fire is as yet unknown.

CASE FALLS FLAT.
Alleged Frauds in Routt County,
Colo, Apparently REGULAR.

Denver. Dec. H.-Federal Judge Lewis
today discharged the defendants on trial
before him for alleged coal land frauds in
ROutt county The proceedings came to
a close when United States District At
torney Thomas Ward jr, attempted to
introduce a letter alleged to have been
written by one of the defendants to J. ".
Atwell, a dummy entTyman and the
court sustained the objection of the de
tense to the introduction of the letter
on the ground that it was self-incrim-
mating and took away constitutional
rights. Judge Lewis also held that the
deeds from several of the defendants to
the Union Land company, which the pros
ecutiOn held to have been fraudulent,
could not be introduced TO show the con-
spiracy.
1t is said all the other big land fraud
cases set for trial may now be dismissed.
