Over these were lodgings where lived two families named O'Brien and one named Hanks, Policeman O'Brien discovered the fire, but having been out of the hospital oniy twenty days, where he had been laid up from stopping a runaway horse, he was afraid to tackle the task of handling the fire alone. He ran to the nearest corner, where he met Duff, and on thelr way back to No, 23 they fell in with O'Donnell. ‘The fire did but slight damage, but some time elapsed before the occupants of the building could return to their apartments so choking and pungent was the smok He otarted to arrest him, when O'Reilly climbed upon a low shed and Jumped over a six foot fence into the next yard.

He had blown his whistle and Detec- tivo Dixon arrived as his fellow-ofMicer was put out of the chase.

CHICAGO, Dee, 10.—In a riot to-day growing out of the recent strike on the Chicago City Street Railway, a car was wrecked by a mob of union sympa- thizers who furiously attacked the non- union conductor and motorman, badly injuring both. The crew of the car escaped into a nearby building, where they were guard- ed_by police. ‘The riots occurred on the Halsted street line near Archer avenue. The riot was participated in by hun- reds of men and boys. Forced to flee from the oar, the two non-union men were knocked off thelr feet and severely pummelled. Struggling up again, the victims fled in different directions, pur- sued by the crowd. ‘The mob, falling to recapture the fugi- tives, returned to the car, which had been abandoned at Halsted street and Archer avenue, and wreaked vengeance upon the conveyance, destroying the Yoodwork and rendering the coach unfit for use.

ROME, Deo. 10.—One of the strangest of crimes had e@ most dramatic solution to-day. A young man named Beretta, 4 millionaire, of Milan, and a famous sportaman, was invited by the Chevalier Angelo Vecchio, an organizer of sport- ing shows, to his villa outside of Milan, on the pretext that Beretta was to ex- amtne some old pictures. Once there Beretta was seized and bound and obliged, with a revolver pointing at his head, to make a will leaving his fortune to Vecchio, besides writing @ letter saying he had commit- ted suicide, Vecchto then left the villa, after instructing an accomplice to drown Beretta the next day in a bath and carry the body far away from the villa, 80 a8 to give Vecchio a chance to prove an alltd, But the heart of Vecchio’s accomplice softened and he set Beretta at liberty. Vecchio, who read in the newspapers that his plot had been discovered, dis- appeared. The police thought he had gone to America, but Rome was electri- fied to-day on hearing that the man had committed suicide by shooting while driving in an open carr! on the famous Monte Pincto drive, rising from the plazza Del Popoio.
