Mrs, Owens left her baby in its buggy in the parlor and went out of the house to speak to a neighbor some distance away. Maude, the ilttle girl, was in the room, and after her inother left got some matches and commenced playing with them. She ignited several and dropped them on the floor and then left the housa without knowing a fire had peen started. The blazing matches caught in the fringe of a portiere and thence spread to the wall. The partitions were of wood, first covered with loosely tacked cheese-cloth.

One day, after we had been un- der fire all day, Conger came up to my wife, without a word of warning, without a polite request or anything else, deliber- ately snatched from her shoulder a Mau- ser rifle and handed it over to a man. When I heard about the affair I hunted up Conger, and in the same abrupt manner in which he had disarmed my wife I slapped his face.” Mrs. Chamot was a San Franclsco girl. She said to-night: ‘“Minister Conger is not a gentleman.

VIENNA, Feb. 27.—There was a free | ight to-day between Pan-Germans and ('zechs on the floor of the Reichsrath. The | session opened with a promise of storms. Herr Schoenerer was especially prominent in creating disturbance. Later the Czechs resorted to obstruction, making speeches in their own tongue. The Pan-Germans protested against the avuse of freedom of speech and a party of them invaded the Czech benches. The result was a flerce fisticuff fight. A Pan-German named Stim attempted to chastise a Czech named | Fresl, whereupon the Radlcal Czechs sur- rounded him. Stim's friends rushed to his | became | rescue and the various groups mixed up in a free fight, during which the president’s bell and voice were drowned in the uproar. Eventuaily the president the session was suspended. - Before the house could be cleared, however, the rival mem- bers again clinched and fierce blows were exchanged. SUICIDE OF LOVERS IN A DESERTED HOUSE Not Being Permitted to Marry Two Young People Die in Each Other’s Arms, PUEBLO, Colo.. Feb. 21.—A special to the Chieftain from La Junta, Colo., says ad tragedy came to light there to-day. The bodies of Louis Burch and Addie Taylor, both about 18 years of age, were found in a deserted house about a mile south of town.

The two had become lev- { ers while quarantined in the Burch resi- dence on aceount of a case of smallpox in | the family. Young Burch's father forbade | their marriage, and it Is supposed this was the cause of the double suicide.

Is Let to the Mutual Company. Consideration of bids for electric light- water front, from Meiggs wharf to Chan- nel street, consumed the greater part of the Harbor Commissioners’ meeting yes- terday afternoon. There were four bid- ders—the Western Light and Power Com- pany, the Independent Light and Power Company, the San Francisco Gas and | Electric Company and the Mutual Elec- | tric Light Company. The Mutual Electric Light Company | was awarded the contract for vears, agreelng to furnish arc lights at $1 30 each per week, and incandescents at |the rate of 2.84 cents per watts. The successful company will be required to furnish a bond of $15,000 for the performance of its contract. | At present the city is paying much | higher rates for service to the Mutual | company than the bid for the Harbor Commission lighting cails for, as the cost to the city is 3.98 cents for 1000 kilowatts and $1 92 for each arc light per week. The | present rates for service furnished the Harbor Commission are also much lower than the rates to the city, being $2 for each arc light per week and 4 1-5 cents per 1000 kilowaits. ‘Approximately the securing of the con- tract by the Mutual company means an aggregate of $35,000 to $40,000 for the three | vears' service. President P. B. Cornwall | represented the company in person at the meeting of the Commissioners and left | the session seemingly In high spirits when the result of the bids was made known. | Of the remaining bids that of the West- ern Light and Power Company was $2 50 per arc light ond 4 cen‘;er 1000 kilo- | watts, that of the Indepefident company $175 per arc light and 3% cents per 1000 | kilowatts, while that of the San Fran- clsco Gas and Electric Company was $2 per arc light and 42 cents per hour for incandescents. | | | FIRE IN THE STEAMER WILLAPA'S ENGINE-ROOM VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 27.—The steamer Willapa, which arrived to-day from the north, was on fire during her trip to this port.

Seecley of Tiburon was ar- | rested to-day on & charge of offering to | receive a bribe. It is alleged that Seeley | asked for a bribe from W. O.

Tne building is nearly fin- ished and it is claimed that Seeley want- ed $200 from Waite for using his influence as a Director to have the building ac- | aepted by the board. 1l of this Seeley dentes. He claims that Walite owes him on a note and that he only asked Waite to redeem the note. The accused claims that he is the victim of ‘“dirty work,' and that the note he holds agatnst Waite represents money he loaned to the latter. The prosecution will contend that Waite never recelved any money consideration for the note. Seeley's bond was fixed at $1500 by Jus- tice of the Peace Rodden and the hearing was set for next Baturday. NN B ORI, Hotel Sneakthief Arrested. H.

YUMA, Ariz., Feb. 2..—W. B. Fain, the accessory to the murder of Mrs. J. J. Burns, who escaped from the officers of the law a week ago, has surrendered to the Superintendent of the Territorial | Penitentiary. The Sheriff had offered a reward of $150 for his apprehension, and had been diligently seelting him. Fain feared a small party comprising the father, hushand and two brothers of the murdered woman. These men had trailed the fugitive far down the Colorado bot- tom, through swamps and the wildest of country. For four days and nights the Kings, father and sons, were in the sad- dle without sleep, and they would have killled Fain on sight. The fugitive was assisted by Cocopah Indians, to whom he was well know! but finally conciuded that his only safety lay behind prison walls. M. T. Alexander and F. B. Miller, the | others implicated in the murder, have re- fused to leave the shelter of the prison, and have waived preliminary examin- ation. _Fain is a Californian, with a bad record. Eighteen years ago he was charged with the murder of nis uncle at San Juan Cap- istrano, Ban Diego County. In some manner he was acquitted. ~Ever since then he has lived about Yuma. i B b YUEKON GOLD-SEEKERS WORK A NEW SCHEME Cut Through the Ice to Get at Treas- ure in the Beds of Streams. VICTORIA, B. C., Feb. 27.—The golden north seems to be the home of many wonders, for, according to news which reached here to-day, rivers are now being cut up into blacks and their beds worked for gold. This latest narthern industry in obtaining gold from the bed of a stream has sprung up along Forty-mile River. The ice is cut through to the bed of the river, where a fire is bullt and the | | Next Sunda round thawed to bedrock, usually only rom 10 to 14 inches below the bottom of the river. This ground is moved and rocked in some tent or cabin near by, and usually yields from $5 to $7 per day to the rocker, all the gold being very fine. Some operators remove the ground to the bank, where they are forming dumps and will sluice out in the spring. To the man who has nothing else in sight this is a great scheme to get a “grub stake” and many are taking advantage of it. DI SASTBOUS_EEO.;;;EON OFF DEWARP LIGHTSHIP TLONDON, Feb. 28.—Early yesterday morning the steamer Chamois collided near Dewarp lightship, three miles east of Yarmouth, with a steamer whose name has not been ascertained in London. The unidentified steamer sank and a boat which put off from her was swamped. A few of her crew scrambled on board the Chamols. - Four of the crew of the Chamois, while searching in a small boat for possible sur- vivors, lost their vessel, but reached the Hgmshgx. from which they were rescued. The Chamois has not yet been heard from and it is feared that she may also have foundered, which would make a to- tal probably of something like thirty lives lost.
