CHICAGO, 111., April 12.—Chicago
this evening suffered one of the
most destructive conflagrations
that has occurred here since the
big fire ol" 1871. The hiss is fully
$1,000,000. It was nt almost the
exact geographical centre of the
city that I hi: Dames started, and,
like the terrible disaster twenty
years ago, began in a stable, and it
falls on a Sunday nitr'it.
In this case the stable mi the
property of a well-known furni-ture
manufacturer, John M. Smyth.
and »as located in the rear of his
house-furnishing establishment on
West Madison near Hulstead,street.
'I'lic llames speedily communicated
to the furniture establishment, and
a moment later to Kohl &. Middle-ton's
dime museum.
In less than live minutes smoke
was pouring from every window in
the museum, and was enveloping
the 0-story building occupied by
Smyth. In a miraculously short
time both structures had turned
into a mass of flame.
I'm-a time it looked; as though
the conflagration would get beyond
control, and that, as in 1871, it
would sweep toward the lake di-rectly
across the business district
ol' the city. The wind had Bud-di
nly arisen, and was I.lowing a
-ii:!' gale from the west. Twenty
thousand people gathered in the
neighboring streets, watching th
progress "f the impending
ily.
Tin first intimation the inmates
of Kohl «V Middleton's Museum
had of ihe proximity of the fire
was when sonic one opened a win-dow
on ihe third Moor, through
which II volume of smoke poured,
tilling the r n. A panic ensued
among the 100 persons in the
building, most of whom, however.
His Wife Shot Dead—-The Thieves
Critically Wound Their Antagon-ist
and Plunder the Dwelling
—Lynchers Out.
PEKRYVILLE, Md., April 14.—One
of the most dastardly murders that
ever shocked Maryland occurred in
Cecil county ut 1 o'clock this morn-ing.
J. Granvillc Richards, ex-member
of the Maryland Legisla-ture
and now an inspector in the
Custom House at Baltimore, lives
on a farm near Porter's Bridge,
and last night he and his wife re-tired
at 9.30 o'clock. The lamp
was extinguished, and there was
dense darkness in the house.
Shortly before, one o'clock Mrs.
Richards was awakened by a noise,
and in the darkness discovered a
man in the act of opening a bureau
drawer. Quickly taking in the sit-uation
she grasped her husband,
who, instantly springing to his
feet on the floor with n pistol in
his hand, which he had taken from
beneath his pillow, he cried:
'•Wlio's rn i.l; I ? SI'EAK, OK I WILL
SHOOT !"
Before be had time, however, to
make good his word there was the
sharp report and hash of a weapon
iu ihe hands of an intruder, and
Mrs. Elizabeth Richards fell back
on tho pillow with a scream. The
bullet had penetrated her brain
from behind the ear.
Cross-firing began, Richards firing
three shots anil his assailants—for
there were two of them—two more.
The burglars were the best marks-men.
Both of their subsequent
shots tnuk effect in Mr. Richards'
bodv. in th

Those on the lirst floor were

A HUSBAND'S DESPERATE BAT-1 The Resignation a Surprise.
TLE WITH THE ROBBERS.
Although the resignation of Sen-ator
Edmunds had been frequently
hinted at for some time back, its
announcement last night came in
the nature of a surprise. Those
who are nearest to the Vermont
statesman—and it must be said
that he has few intimates—have
asserted, from time to time, that it
would not surprisejthem if he re-signed,
but a majority of the Sen-ate
and the outside public, as a
general rule, have scoffed at the
idea. On the Republican side Mr.
Edmunds' loss will be irreparable.
At the present time the Republican
side of the Senate can ill afford to
lose a man of Edmunds' ability.
Look over Ihe list of Republican
Senators and see who is left of
National reputation, or who can be
classed as above medncrity. John
Sherman and Allison are the only
men on the Republican side now
who show any pretensions to states-manship,
or are in any way fitted
to cope with any of 20 Democrats
on the other side of the chamber.
Aldrich of Rhode Island, it is
true, is a very handy man in the
in the chamber when a tariff bill
is under way or any question relat-ing
to the tariff, but outside of that
subject he does not amount to much.
Hoar of Massachusetts is a fussy-old
person who has seen his best
days and was not very powerful at
his best. Ingalls, Evarts and
Spooner were retired by their peo-ple
last fall. They furnished good
debating abilty, and there are no
men on the Republican side fit to
take their places. The loss of a
strong man on the Democratic side
would not be so much felt, as the
lower part of the ah- I Democrats are rich in strong men
calam- J domen. Neither of those fired by I at the present time. There are no

IN COURT.
An Omnibus Flirtation Ends In
Breach of Promise Suit.
LONDON. April 14.—The sensa-tional
breach of promise suit of
Miss Gladys Evelyn, the actress,
otherwise Miss Gertrude Ellis,
against William Henry Ilurlbert.
once the editor of the' New York
Wnrhl, whom she had only known
as Wilfred Murray, an unmarried
American gentleman, but who was
really a married man while under
the alleged engagement to Gladys,
attracted many deeply interested
spectators to Justice Cave's court
today.
The actress, a woman of medi-um
height and commanding pres-ence,
took the witness stand, and
herself coolly testilied in manner
and substance that must have been
tantalizing in the extreme to .Mr.
Ilurlbert, though he appeared as
unperturbed as Prince Bismarck,
whom he resembles.
THE OMIIIBCS FLIRTATION.
She narrated her adventure, in
which on leaving an omnibus she
met Mr. Ilurlbert, alias Wilfred
Murray, and added that she
agreed he should call on her the
following day. which was Good
Friday. He called on that day.
according to the appointment, and
he afterward called very frequently.
On May 3 he called to see her
and asked her to marry him, as he
said he loved her very much. She
thought she loved him, and there-fore
consented to marry him. On
the 0th of that month lie again
called on. anil on this occasion he
gave her a ring. While putting it
on her linger, lie said: ••! hope our
ives will always be as bright as
the stones in this ring.'" It was
during this month that she ad-mitted
him to terms of greater in-timacy.

A CIGARETTE WARNING.
Stephen Reynolds, who is em-ployed
at Media, l'a.. in a hard-ware
store, and who is a cousin of
Mr. Richards, said this morning,
just before starting for home, that
the excitement around the imme-diate
scene of the murder was most
intense. A lynching party was be-ing
organized to pursue and string
, up the murderers who. it is thought,
cannot escape.
This morning a spccinl car hav-ing
aboard Joseph T. Richards, of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
Lewis II. Richards, Trust Olllcer
| Of the West End Safe Deposit
Company, both of whom nre broth-ers
of the unfortunate man, to-gether
with a corps of detectives,
passed over the Central division,
its occupants bent on 'aking active
steps to apprehend the murderers.
A PATHETIC SCENE.
The Richards home, a pretty lit-tle
house, presented a sad scene
this evening. It was almost im-possible
for the kind neighbors
who look charge of the children to
keep them away from their dead
„,.,. mother, whose remains are laid out
in the parlor.
The greatest excitement prevails
in the village and at Rising Sun
whelming majority of brains of the
body in debating capacity and I
general intellect. There is not |
much doubt that the ill-health of
! himself, and daughter is the chief i
'cause of Edmunds' retirement.
| That his public life is ended is cer-j
tain. It will be long before such
a unique character, taking him all
in all, will occupy a seat in the'
Senate chain tier.— Ite/iulilir.
The Story of an Editor.

ANOTHER FATAL WRECK.
The Fireman and a Laborer Killed—
Both Conductors and Eighteen
Others Seriously Injured.
AsiiKvii.i.E, N. C, April 16.—A
wreck occurred on the Asheville * j 2 (Jens, in the U. S. V
Spartanburg Railroad last night
by the collision of a freight train
from Asheville and a material
train near Landrum.
The fireman and a negro on the
material train were killed. Both
engines and eighteen of the hands
were injured, many of them fatally.
The collision was the result of the
freight conductor's disobedience of
orders.
A beautiful incident is told of
