How This Great Industry Was Crip- pled by the Fire. Lyx~N, Mass,, Dec. 4. —For the first time since the great fire it is possible to make reasonably accurate ostimates of the loss sustained by the shoe industry here, 1t appears that fully 60 per cent of the shoe and loather houses were burned out. The number of firms burned out numbered eighty, while fiftecn sole leather cutters ana about sixty dealers in shoe findings also suffered by the fire. A careful estimate of the loss on stioes (finished and in progress of manufacture) is about $i50,000. The esti- mated loss on sole leather is put at $500,000, while the loss on heel, stiffening, inner soie- ing, ete,, will reach £25).000 more. The loss on’ morocco leather is placed at £60,000, and that on machinery at $266,000. The fire will cause the temporary spreading of the mense shoe business of Lynn, and it looks as if it might tuke some years to bring this busi- ness back. e STRANGE DISA EARANCE.

ARRESTED AND LANDED IN JAIL. George Maxwell, Who so serted His Wife, Cor in Company W Lou Vernall. Bascly De- > Grief Guilty Lovers Trapped. Dexvenr, Col, Dec. 4.—[Special Tele- gram to Tie Ber]—Georga E. Maxwel id Miss Lou Vernall, both formerly of Lincoln, Neb., wera arrested in this city last evening and y 1 in jail, The statement of the fact recalled the story of Maxwoil's base desertion of his wife and family some months ago and his elopement with Miss Vernall, It appears that after leaving Lincoln the guilty couple went to Cheyenne and thence to Denv Here Maxwell's first aim was to secure a secluded rotreat to which it would be difii- cult to trace them and where thoy might enjoy undisturbod tholr ovil pleasures, Through his afiliation with the master builders association of America, he struck up an acquair @ with Goorge H. Forsythe, oneof the most skillful and best known car- penters in Denver, the boss of earpentry work on the tramway company's power house, Maxwell secured for nimself and Miss Lou rooms in Forsythe's house at 131 Asn- land avenue, The trencherous Maxwell introduced the budding g irl as his wife. They occupied a suite of three rooms, and everything swent merry as a marriage bell until the stroke came. Both Mr. and Mrs. Forsythe felt a certain pride and-admiration for the saucy beauty of the mistaken Lou. Tho car; pentor, who is himself a dashing looking young fellow, only obtained work through Mr. Forsythe's kindly iotervention from Scott & McQuaid. About two weeks ago a family named Smith moved from Lincoln to Denver. By some curious fatality they were directed to 131 Ashland avenue for rooms which they engaged. Both Smith and his wife knew Maxwell by sight, altnough his recollection of them, if he ever bad an introduction, was so slight as to be cffaced by the time which had elapsed since he loft Lincoln, The family nad heard the sud story in Nebraska of Maxwell's desertion, and knew the straits in which he y had been in the y8 when, on one occasion last week, Mrs. Smith was stactled and shocked to see Maxwell entering the house. She made immediate inquiries of Mrs, For- sythe and found that he was living there with his wife, Mrs. Smith watched for the wife and a famly conclave resulted in which the resolution was taken to mform the Forsythes what kind of murried people they were harboring. It is needless to say that it fell like u thunderbolt in that respectable family, No alarm was given to the pair who were living in fatuous sccurty, but steps were taken to immediately bring them to justice. Mr. Smith swore out a warrant, which was placed in the hands of Deputy Bush., Noth- ing was said, but the change in the attitude or tone of the Forsythes must have given them an indefinite feeling of alarm, und a premonition of some disaster, for without attempting to exolain her action at all or ac- count for her hurried leave-taking, Miss Vernall lefv the house on Ashland avenue Mon night and soon after seat tor her trunk. It was discovered that she had moved to 2460 Iighth street, while Maxwell still retained possession of the old lodgings. Officer Bush atiempted to make the arrest that night, buv the couple unconsciously eluded him. Last evening, while on Ash- land avenue, he ran across the pair walking arm and arm. faxwell, I want to speak to you,” he touching him quietly on the shoulder. Maxwell saw he was in the toils, or rather divined it. He refused to loose his hoid of Miss Vernall's arm. “Well, what is it1” he exclaimed deflantly, The officer oxplained that they were fairly caught. “Yowll have to prove it,” was all that Maxwell savagely growled, Miss Vernall’s pretty face was for an in- stant wrinkled up into what looked like a sob and she betrayed acute symptoms of dis - solving into a watery shower. But Miss Lou is saucy and indopondent by nature. She gathered all her womanly instincts to- gether and also declared with a pout and a detiant littie move, *You llhave to.prove it.” ‘The olicer didn’t wait to prove it just there, but hurried the guilty couvle to the ncarest car. He noticed that the conductor seemed to be well acquainted with the young Don Juan and took his number for future investi- gation, At the jail much dificulty was ex- perienced ia arriving at Miss Lou’s age, she stoutly maintaiuing that she was but sixteen ‘Cne jailer said, with a little gruffness in his tone” “Oh, put her down at twenly-two,” “I tell you I'm only sixt ' with a stamp of her tvot and u flash of ber eyes that boded little love for the ungallunt jailer, Despite her protestutions and liberal grief over the result, Miss Lou was put down ut uineteen, and put away in & cell far from her lover. When spoken to about the charge, her face would only light up with a petulant glenm and sho would bring her foot down with the same old exclamation, “Well, you can just prove it now; that's all Mr. Forsythe and his wife declare that they nre abundantly able to prove it. Thev are shocked and mortified at their house having been the scene of these scandalous revels, + R Montana’s Quandry. HELENA, Moat.,, Dee, 4.—Both houses met this morning as usual.
