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 were on : In lii -! ll ; iriety performance. Those on the lirst floor were apprised nf tin ir danger by stampede on the upper floors, as they arose to their feet, and fled precipitately toward the front door the lire appeared at the rear win-dows, increasing the terror of the crowd. nil: HERO OF THE FLAXES.

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 him (list any execution so far as (such men as Carlisle and Black-learned. Reclining on- a chair by the win-dow after receiving his wounds, Mr. Richards was fearfully beaten by one of the strangers; then he was kicked or thrown down-stairs am] had several bones broken with an iron bar, and in his .helpless slate he saw two men. apparently ROMANCE CXFOLDED To the <■»"» <* Greensboro and Guilford County. rhing Ta Pesde's Rw Ger.ts Savines Buk OF GKEKNSBOKO, . k itu-i:ir--, and caya nil tti.< - ■ le| i t>itun>, • ■ • . i'.- li.

HURLBERT SWEET-HEART 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.

Tin Democratic side, too, is going to he reinforced in the next.-»oiigress by men like Palmer, Vilas and Hill. It is true that the New York..\vna-tor is not considered a ^...^intel-lectual power, but he is an adroit speaker and, beyond doubt, a clever organizer and general politician. Of course a Republican will be gent to succeed Edmunds, but there is no. man in Vermont who can till his place. The Republicans will have a numerical majority in theIpdied to pawn her jewelry, includ-next Senate, but the Democrats I i„g t|,e engagement ring given her will, beyond doubt, have an over- ; bv t|„. defendant.

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.

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
