THE FARWELL BLOCK BURNS. The Huge Dry Goods Store a Scene of a Terrific Fire This Morning. Cmrcaco, Feb. 13.—About 6:30 o'clock this morning fire originated in the Adams and Mar- ket street corner of the big Farwell block bounded by Monroe, Market, Adams streets and the river, and before the flames were under con- trol that section of the building was com- pletely gutted from the top floor to the bottom. A first alarm was speedily succeeded by a sec- ond, then a third and finally a fourth was turned in, bringing engines from all parts of the city. The fire tug Geyser came to the res- cue and, anchoring at the Adams street bridge, threw a heavy stream upon the blazing struct- ure. The fire started in the pressing department of Work Brothers, manufacturers of clothing and uniforms, on the sixth floor, and spread from one floor to another with great rapidity, It required the greatest exertion on the part of the firemen to prevent the spread of the flames throughout the entire biock. A fire wallgrun- ning through the block 66 feet on Monroe street and another running parallel with the river 175 feet west of Market street saved the north end of the building, occupied by J. V. Farwell & Co. The firms which occupied the burned end of the building are Work Bros. manufacturers of clothing and uniforms, an Taylor Brothers. manufacturers of hate and caps. Mendell & Co., dealers in gentlemen's furnishing goods, occupied the basement, but do not lose anything. Mr. Work said to a United Press reporter that the total loss would be about $350,000. He thought this amount was fully covered by insurance. A later estimate of the losses at this morn- ing’s fire places it at $485,000. ie Farwell biock was built in separate risks,each divided by thick concrete walls. The burned portion is one risk and cost one-ninth of the building, or $160,000. Had not the concrete walls proved effective a $1,000,000 blaze would have resulted. Embel & Sons, occupying the next section north of the burned portion, suffered no loss, Thirty-two engines. seven chemicals and two fire boats, Chicago and Geyser, fairly drowned out the fire. flooding the streets and sewers. ‘The firs was under control by 8:30 o'clock. The fire was started on the sixth floor of the Work Bros., in the pressing department, and it is thought from an overheated steam coil. THE CAUSE A MYSTERY. It is yet a mystery as to how the fire started, ‘There are no furnaces, stoves or other device for heat in the eee teeny as, re beter was burning all night it is not thought that was the cause, li the eat is furnished from the wholesale establishment of J. ¥. Farwell & Co,, by means of a pipe run- ning through the fire wall. The fire comes especially heavy on the firms in the burned building owing to the coming spring trade, for which all had been preparing. Hundreds of orders had been filled, while as many more were on the files. Not less than 2,500 persons will be thrown ont of employment, MEN HURT. Acareful estimate of the loss, made after the fire was under control, places the total damage at $475,000, of which Mr. Work loses €325,000; Taylor Bros., 50,000, and Farwell & Co., on the building, $100,000. One life will prob- ably be lost and several other firemen are seriously injured. William Sallander, while on a 36-foot knocked from his footing and fell to the stone pavement below. He struck on his head and was picked up unconscious. His skull was frac- fevetand he Wasinternally injured. Jno. Meyers fell with the crashing of the third floor and was dragged out more dead than alive by his comrades. It is not thought, however, that he is fatally hurt’ Three other men were cut about the face, head and hands by flying glass and particles, but none of them seriously, THIRTY-TWO STEAMERS, For almost an hour this morning property of the value of at least $15,000,000 stood in immi- nent danger of destruction. That the threat- ened disaster did not culminate is due to the prompt and vigorous work of the fire department. Five minutes to 7 o'clock a mercurial alarm located in thesixth story gave the first intelligence of the blaze to the fire in- surance patrol. Capt. O'Neill, immediately upon his arrival sent in a first alarm. Marshal Musham perceived that the fire was rapidly gaining Roadway and threatened the whole structure. A “4-11” alarm brought to the spot thirty-two steamers, seven trucks and aa many chemical engmes, besides two fire-boats. UNIQUE WALLS, J. V. Farwell said the destroyed building was worth anout $100,000. He said his firm had no apprehension of danger from the fire, “I didn’t think the fire contd get out of the build- ing in which it first started,” said he, “the fire wall on each side of the building separating it from the other stores in the block are made of concrete and are absolute! fireproof. These fire walls are unique in C cago architecture. Instead of the regula- tion brick, stone or tiling they are composed of concrete or broken rock mixed with cement. They were kept in place when first built by a framework, which was removed after the concrete had hardened. The wall thus made is practically one piece of stone.” ‘The fire caused great confusion among the hundreds of gir!s who work in the manufactur- ing estabiishments in the vicinity. There were hundreds of them on their way to work and many of them remained iu the street, fearful lest the fire should reach thi ork shops, oe A GUILTY FLIGHT.

RELIEF FOR NATIONAL BANKS, The Hon. Edward 8. Lacey, controller of the currency, gave his views upon the financial situation to the House committee on banking and currency this morning. Mr. Lacey fav the passage of ao bill to allow national banks to issue circulating notes to the full amount of the United States bonds de- posited by them with the treasurer. At pres- ent they can issne circulation to within only 90 Rer cent of the pur value of the bonds on leposit. Mr. Lacey said that national banks made no profit on circulation, which, under existing conditions, was a burden to them. The passage of « bill to allow the issue of cir- culation to the full amount of the deposited bonds would simply relieve the banks of loss and make the issue of circulation neither a profit nor a loss, but aneven thing. Comput- ing interest at 7 per ceat, Mr. Lacey made cal- culations which showed that a bank having 50,000 capital would lose annually $44 on cir- culation. THE RULES CONTEST DRAWING TO A CLOSE. The House proceeded today to consider the proposed code of rules, offering amendments and conducting the discussion under the five- minute rules.

A Wife Whipper Fined. Today a lady dressed in black, with a hand- some child of four years, was in the Police Court as the complainant against her husband, Wm. J. Murray, who, she charged, com- mitted an assault on her. Her face, with a very black eye, was evidence of her having been ronghly treated, She told the story of fourteen years’ domestic infelicity, stating that they lived on 6ih street near G strect northeast, and that she had in the main supported herself and child all that time, Murray took the stand and admitted that his temper got the better of him and that he struck her. Mr. A. Sellers, for the detend- ant, urged that it was the intention of Mr. Mur- ray to leave the city; that that was the best so- lution of the case. The court, however, thought different and imposed a fine of #20 or 60 days in jail, —— Judge Miller on Corporal Punishment. Last night Officers Lyda aud Kendig arrested a colored woman, Margaret Brockett, on the charge of an assault on her child, a girl of fifteen years, by excessively whipping her, Mr. Wall appeared for the accused, but her statement was sufficient to satisfy the court, The girl admitted that she misbehaved and her mother tied her to the bed post, stripped her and used a strap on her. * The court said that if mothers would use the proper instrument in moderation we would be etter off. The mother testified that she was informed by a young man that her daughter and a com- panion with two young boys had gone toa saloon at 11th and Q streets about 12 o'clock; thatshe went there and rapped and it wasa long time before there was any answer; that finally a back door was opened and they came out, She then took her daughter home and with a little piece of ro) tied her to the bed and gave her about a dozen with a small strap, but did not bring the blood. It was an improper place for her to be and she chastised er. Mr. Armes said that had he known all the facts he would not have filed the information. The court said she ought to be commended; to have a vote of thanks for attempting to bring her child to a sense of duty, and added that it would have pleased him if every scoun- drel in the place had been brought into court, He advised her to chastise her children when they go wrong, but todo it with moderation = not = anger. He was —— sing the ys of whipping were not passed and he would dismiss the case. Se Wills Filed Today. The will of the late Henrietta B, Edwards, filed today, leaves to Sarah E.

As announced in yesterday's Stan Mr. Douglass Green bas been expelled from the firm of Green & Bateman on account of the publications relating to the sensational and scandalous marriage of Mr. Green and Mrs, Alice Snell McCrea at Fort Monroe. In a state- ment issued by Mr. A. E. Bateman in New York yesterday he said: “It is the old story of a bright business man with a great future before him sacrificing it all for a pretty face, He is not entitled to nor will he receive apy sympathy from us.” Mrs, McCrea is the daughter of Snell, the murdered Chicago millionaire, and was re- cently divorced from her husband. She has been spending some time at Old Point Comfort, where she cut quite a dash, THE MARRIAGE AT OLD POINT. On the 2d instant Mr. Douglass Green ap- peared there, and on the following day they went to the house of a colored Baptist preacher. Rey. H.C. Shorts, and were married by him. Green is well kuown in this city, where he has many interests, He is a son of the late Charles Green, # wealthy capitalist of Savannah, Ga. What gives the marriage its special favor of scandal is the fact that Green already has a wife living, from whom he has not, it is stated, been sey ie saps After the marriage at Old Pomt Comfort Green came to this city and, with Mrs. McCrea, stopped at the Shorcham. They then went to New York and yesterday morning sailed for Europe, BAID TO BE INSANE. Mr. Green's extraordinary conduct is attrib- uted by his friends in New York to insanity. The truth, it is said, has been kept as much as ible from his Wall street associates, but it is said to have been known to his relatives and intimates for months, the first signs of mental ailment having been suspected nearly two years ago. If he had not been spirited out of the country, say his friends, by Mrs, Snell McCrea, in whose power he is, he would have been laced in confinement before isst night as junatic, W. W. Mackall, jr., of Savannah, brother-in-law of Mr. Green and a lawyer profession, had come north for the express pur- pose of having the broker placed in an asyl He arrived in New York on Monday and engag: the legal services of Gen, Roger A.

The bill for this bridge has been acted on adversely by the Senate district committee, The House dis- trict committee sent the bill to the Commis sioners, asking their opinion, They re plied that the bridge would be ao good thing as a bridge, but they bad no knowledge oo to how “ would act in the obstruction of pat The committe then sent the bill to the War rtment and today received reports from Major Hains for the engineer de nt and from Chief of the Bureau of Navigation Ramsey, MAIOR HAINS REPORTS in substance that a low bridge is always an Ob- struction to navigation, and that in this cuse, on account of the situation of the navy yard, a2 gyrreene "i in => most interested party.

In the marriage license issued to Green at Old Point he is described as thirty-six years old and a widower, while Mrs. McCrea is put down as twenty-two and a widow. SUE VISITED HIM WITH A PISTOL, That Mrs, MeCrea had used influence which she acquired over Green to further ber own designs is asserted strongly by Mr. Green's friends, Some months ago, it is stated, his relatives, upon learning of his attentions to Mrs. McCrea, confronted him with their knowl- edge and he promised to drop the woman, He did not, however, and Mr. Mackall made two trips subsequently to New York expressly to break up the affair, but without success, A letter was sent to Mrs. McCrea telling her that Green was a married man and asking her to discontinue her relations with him. She re- pice that she lovel him and would not give im up. It was learned that a month or more ago Mrs. McCrea said to Green: “I want you to co with me to Savannah to see your wife, You mustsay to her, “I don't love you; I do love Mrs. McCrea aud you must give me up and get a divorce, so that I can marry the woman I love,’ ” Green said he could not do that, It is sup- posed he had not the courage to appear beiore ‘is brothers under such circumstances, Mrs. McCrea, however, did not stop here, At 4 o'clock the next morning she appeared at Green's flat in the Barcelona, accompanied bv two maids, Holding @ pistol in her hand she Pointed it at Green and exclaimed: “Unless you go to Savannah with me at once I will shoot you.” Green ran through the flat and escaped by the back stairs. He made some promise or other to her later to avert the threateued shooting, WHAT IS SAID HERE. This afternoon a Stag reporter called at the Washington office of A. E. Bateman & Co., of which firm Mr. Green was a member, and saw Mr. Francis E, Trowbridge, who is in charge of the firm's branch in this city. In answer to the reporter's inquiries about Mr. Green's sensational marriage and its effect upon his connection with the firm Mr. ‘'rowdridge said: “We really know but little more here than has been already published in the papers, 1 see it is stated that Mr. Green has been unbalanced mentally for some time past. true or not I am not prepared to say. He was in the office here last Saturday and seemed to be ali right then, Mr. Green was a quiet sortof a man, bur always seemed to be very popular. Inever have heard the slightest charges against him other than the fact of his deserting his wife and children, Mr, Bateman was greatly in- Whether this is censed against him for thw act of his, and it only needed this recent escapade to bring about a complete separation, We received a lengthy dispatch yesterday from the New York office saying that serious c! es been made against Mr. Green by the papers and that he had been called upon either to refute them en- tirely or to withdraw from the firm. “He chose the latter alternative. This will inno wise interfere with the business of the firm, for he hasfor some time past held but a very small interest in it,” HIS WITHDRAWAL CONTEMPLATED FOR SOME TIME. It was said on good authority this morning that Mr. Green’s withdrawal from the business bas been contemplated for some time past, if not actually put into effect quite a while ago. It was known among bankers and brokers in this city as long ago as the Ist of January that papers had been wo up com- pletely severing Mr. Green's connection with ~ firm, though for what reasons it is not own.
