Militia Hold Throngs in Check at Waterbury. Sufferers by Big Fire Try to Force Their Way Into the Ruins. WATERBURY, Conn., Feb. 3.—The sun rose this morning on a blackened - and smoldering mass of ruins that marked the main business section of the city. The scene about the city to-day was only a little less remarkable than that of the yrevious evening. Thousands of people stumbled around the icy streets, and with the greatest difficulty were re- strained by the militia and police from venturing within the danger lines. There was more or less disorder, but the police have been very active, and the militia has been of great ervice in hand- ling the crowds. The streets were piled with household goods and strewn with small articles thrown from the windows. Some of this ated by but the amour (hieving was small compared with the opportuni- ties offered by the confusion A tangled network of wires on Bank and South Main streets greatly hindered the work of extinguishing the last flames and clearihg away the wreckage. Iow ever, the streets are rapidly being cleared and the trolle service will soon be re- sumed.

The room locked and no one was supposed to The fire orig- be there, nor was any fire kept in the room. The fire came so close on the | heels of the big conflagration that the thousands of spectators who witnessed it were thrown into a more complete panic than the origin: fire caused. The flames had .only begun to die out along Grand, Bank and South Main streets at 4 o'clock when flames leaped upward as if by magic and people feared the city was doomed after all. The engines that hur- ried to the scene turned their attention mainly to preventing the spread of the flames. It was evident that the hotel was doomed, and if the fire had reached the adjoining bulldings there would have been very little hope of saving the cen- ter of the city. The fire burned far into he day and was not extinguished en- tirely until evenin STOCKTON THUGS LURE VICTIM BY TELEPHONE George Maracci, Assaulted for the Second Time, May Succumb to Injuries.

Houseworth were pursued by a mountain lion as they were returning to their homes in the western part of Glenn County on Friday. They had been to Germantown to do some trading and on their return, just as they entered the low foothills, something frightened their team. Both women turned at the same instant and saw distant a huge California lion. The horses saw the animal at the same time and it was with extreme difficulty that the team, as it dashed away at the top of its speed, could be managed at all or kept in the road, which at that point is very rugged. It was a good mile and a .half to their home and as the women saw the lion start after the buggy they let the horses run. The lion followed until the barking of the house dog frightened it away. Mrs. Le Forgee had some fresh meat in the buggy which she had purchased in town, and this is probably what caused the beast to become so daring. During the last few days a heavy snowfall on the Coast Range has caused lions and coyotes to quit their mountain fastnesses for the more agreeable temperature on the lower slopes. RANCHER CHASED BY LION. Mountain View Resident Wins a Thrilling Race. SAN JOSE, Feb. 2—John Morgan, a rancher in the foothills south of Moun- tain View, was attacked by a large moun- tain lion last Friday, and the beast pur- sued him to his cabin, a distance of 100 yards. The rancher was hunting for small game, when he noticed a large lion making its way through some thick brush toward him. Morgan raised his shotgun and fired at the animal. The birdshot struck the lion inA&he body, but this only made it the moré furious. It sprang at Morgen, who dodged and then ran for his cabin. The lion followed him, and when Morgan reached a place of safety the beast was almost upon his heels. Later in the day Morgan went to Moun- ‘tain View and with Constable Martin or- ganized a party and started a hunt for the lion. They were unsuccessful.

R e e el ] FUNSTON AGAIN OPERATED UPON Submits to the Surgeon’s Knife at Kansas City. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 3.—General Frederick Funston to-day was subjected to the surgeon's knife, The operation was performed at Scarrit's Hospital under the direction of Dr. E. F: Robinson of this city, with whom the general has been in correspondence since his landing at San Francisco from Manila a month ago. After General Funston arrived here from the West last week and had sought a con- sultation with Dr. Robinson, it was stat- ed that another operation would not be necessary. Within a day or so, however, the wound of the original operation for appendicitis had not healed as the phy- sicians believed it should and the secoad operation was decided upon. Before the operation was performed to-day Dr. Rob- inson stated that it would prove a minor Later he stated that the general had undergone the ordeal in a satisfac- tory manner and that he believed the outcome would be what had been de~ sired. It would be necessary, however, for the patient to remain at the hospital for probably two weeks, “I anticipate no serious complication: said Dr. Robinson, “‘and believe that Gen- eral Funston will be fully recovered with- in two weeks. The operation involved the reopening of the old wound, its free drainage and partially closing it.” The operation was made necessary ‘by the presence of an abscess, the result of the operation for appenditicis performed at Manila, September 25, 1901. YOUNG WOMAN STUDENT TAKES HER OWN LIFE Shoots Herself Near the Heart After Having Successfully Passed the Examination. ANN ARBOR, Mich.,, Feb. 3.—Miss Agnes Inglis, a sophomore student in ke medical department of the University of Michigan, committed suicide here this af- ternoon. She was a daughter of Dr. David Inglls, a prominent physician of Detroit, and was 25 years of age. The young woman was an unusually bright and promising student, and had already made a name for herself among her pro- fessors. She was prominent in_athletics, being coach of the freshmen basketball team, and taking great interest in gym- nasium work. 0 motive for the deed has been discovered, but it is known that she was subject at times to great mental depression. At such times she has often threatened to take her life. Worry uver examinaton does not seem to be the cause, for she passed with high marks all she had taken up to this time. After examin- ation she went downtown, returned to her room and shot herself, the bullet pene- —= L 4 BRITISH MINISTER WHO IS ACTIVE AT THE NETHER- LANDS CAPITAL. trating near the heart.

BOZEMAN, Mont., Feb. 3.—The trial of Mrs. Lucy Black, who is charged with poisoning her husband, a wealthy ranch- man of the Gallatin Valley, was com- menced in the District Court here to-day. Few cases in the criminal history of Mon- tana have furnished more of a sensation than this one. Mrs. Black is charged with having administered poison to her husband October 4, and for each day from then until and including the 10th day of October, 1901.
