A Il nitri > ii Klrp
The fire at William Lowls' hack , cab and
bus stable at 1U0 : o'clock yesterday rnnrnlnir ,
of which brief montlon was made in yesterdays -
days Bub , proved to bo most disastrous
ll.o ilro destroyed three cabs , two hacks ,
sixteen sets of harness , n largo quantity of
hny and twoiity-thraa horses perished in the
flames So quickly did the ilamcs spread
that the whole struoturo was a-blazc when
the department arrived , but by vigorous
work thu tire was soon extinguished , al
though not until a crcat amount of dnmago
had been done Very little of the property
in tbo barn or adjoining sheds was saved ,
and the total loss is estimated ut about
fl,0iW. fho property was Insured for about
W.0OO.
The flro was undoubtedly tlio work of nn
mcondlary , the torch being applied on the
Boutli side from tluullcy Along this side of
the barn in front of the horses several boards
were knocked off , leaving in mnny places
apertures nearly largo enough for n man to
crawl through The supposition is Unit the
arson llemt reached through on ? of these
holes , poured it quantity of oil upon the
straw and accumulnted rubbish , und applied
the match 'lho Ilro tiuicitly communicated
with the hay In the lott and the litter scat
tered through the stalls , nnd almost in
stantly the entlro interior of the structure
was in a blaze An employe , William farrell -
roll , who was sleeping iu one of the busses ,
h.iroly escaped with his lite
He was awakened by the Binoko , and hurv
rledly dismounting from his bed rushed for
the door , l'ho crackling tlamcs nnd dense
smoke contused him and ho struck Ills bead
against a hack , felling him almost Insensible
to the lloor Ho managed to grope his way
outside , wheio thu fresh ulr soon revived
him
him.Tho parties who discovered the flro and
gave the alarm were Dr Green and Officer
Austin The former was just rcturnlug
train a professional call on East Picrco
Etreet , and had Just reached thd enrnor of
Broadway and Pierce when the ilamcs broke
outscoiiiliiglycnveloplngtliacntiio structure
Ofllcer Austin was passing up Bio.ulway nt
the tlmo and saw a flash ol light IIo run
around the block to the alloy , only to tlnd
the rear portion of the barn n seething mass
ot tlamos , und as soon as the front doors
were burst open the draught thus created
Bonn insured the destruction of the entire
building With the assistance of Dlclt Kick ,
otts nnd Assistant Fire Chief Nicholson ho
managed to pull out u few vehicles , butthesa
were badly burned nnd dinned When the
ear wall of the barn was burst open a horse
rushed madly out , smoking and blis
tered , and his head badly burned
A few seconds later its mate staggered into
the open air in a most horrible condition It
had Instinctively crouched atrainst a pile of
damp manure and thus protected ouo sldo ,
but the other sldo was fairly ablaze The
hair was all burned off , and the flesh was
sizzling on the ribs of the agonized brute
The ears were burned off , the eyes gene nnd
the mouth drawn open-ami distorted by the
Intense heat How the poor crcaturo man
aged to roach the tpon air is a mystery Its
sufferings were terrible to witness , und.u
few hours later Marshui Guanolla
kindly shot it and ended its misery ,
'i lioso weio the only oncB of the twenty.four
horses in the barn which got out alive Of
the burned hacks and cabs nothing was left
but tbo running gear When the first par
ties reached the sueuo the imprisoned horses
were plunging furiously about , and ttio
shrieks of the frenzied animals were heart
rending , but the deadly smoke and llamo
soon ended it all The fire department did
most excellent and effective work Several
faces and hands were badly blistered , as the
heat was Intense and tbo tight with the
Ilamcs a stubborn ono
So evident was it that the bam was pur
posely fired that several officers were de
tailed to investigate the case Early in the
day Olllcer Lusick arrested three men ,
James Peterson , Ed Murphv and James Luo-
cock , on suspicion The first named was
subsequently released , but the otbors lira
now hela as witnesses , their stories being
regarded as of the utmost imuortancc
In the afternoon two more ot Lowls' men ,
known as Cowboy Jim and Cocky , " were
arrcoted and will bo held to awult develop
ments
Cowboy Jim denied nt first that ho was
in the barn that night , but subsequently
stated that ho was there , and was sleeping
mthooftlco Ho was awakened and heard
Cocky coming down stairs Ho asked the
latter if ho did not sinoll smoke , when
Cocky answered yes , the old shell is
n-iiro , but let the d d thine bum , " Ho said
ho lay still for some time , when the fire
drnvo him out His story is so unreason
able , coupled with the fact that hu is a half
witted character , that no credence
is given to what ho says , and the
statement that ho made later ,
to the effect that Cocky snid on the night
before the lire that ho would Ilro the barn
unless Lewis p lid Illinois also glvon little
credence , Cocky had neon in the city but
three days and It is regarded as improbable
that there was any controversy ns to his pay
Thu prevailing opinion is that the Incen
diaries tire still at largo Thorp Is a sldo to
the case , howovcr , which has quite n sensa
tional savor It Is ulleged Hint the barn was
fired for the purpose or obtaining a reward
offered by ono of Lewis rivals nnd
competitors in the hack business *
The grounds on which this bcllof is bused
nro us follows : About two weeks ago , after
the attempt was made to ilia Gcorgo Smiths
barn on North Sixth street , young Luccock
remarked that there was a barn In the olty
that u certain party would glvo tl,000 to
have burned When questioned more closely
ho stated that William Wolcb , proprietor of
Welch's liuclc and bus line , a well Known
coal dealer , had said that ho would give
$3,000 to have Lowls' barn burned This was
duly reported to Lows ' , who went to Colonel
W. F. Sapp nnd told the story , snying that
ho was afraid Welch would have him burned
out and asking if ho could not have
Welch arrested The attorney stated that
It would be imposslblo to convict Welch of
the charge , mid that all that could bo done
would bo to place him under bonds Luc
cook was called In , however , und made affi
davit to the following story ;
Some time ago , while the matter of the in
cendiary llrco about the city were being dis
cussed , Welch said ho would glvo ? , ' , OoO to
have a certain barn burned iN'o mora was
said nt the time , but a few days later Luo-
cock was alone with Welch iu the office , und
asked what earn ho meant iu the mysterious
offer
offer.Wolch
Welch replied Bill Lewis , " and thou
offered hlui the best pair of horses , harness
and hack ho owned if he would sot fire to
Lewis stable Luccock said it would bo
risky business , but Welch assured him that
the fire could bo set and no one would sus
pect htm , Thut oadod the matter for the
time
timo.As
As this affidavit was made two weeks before -
fore tlio lire was set , much importance Is
naturally attached to It Luccock denies
having set the flro or knowing anything
about it , but repeats the story told above
Mr Welch has lived hero so long und has
berne such a repulatlou that Luccock's
story , though made la the form of an affida
vit , gains little crcdonco The story is very
improbable , and the most charitable con
struction Is that Luccock misunderstood
some remark or misinterpreted some con
versation ,
Air Welch Is hotly Indignant over the
matter Ho denies ompliatioally having bad
any conversation whatever with Luccock
concerning any suoh matter IIo says
Luccock was in his employ two mouths ago ,
but after working about thirty dejs was dis
charged on account of dishonesty Luccock
has had trouble with Mrs Welch , who was
compelled to resent his abuse bv freely pum-
uicHughim with a bucket Luccock loft ,
and Mr Welch's theory Is that the affidavit
was made from spite Luccock has bcou In
the employ of Lewis since loavlng Welch
Lewis has employed Colonel Sapp to assist
tbo county attorney In prosecuting the case ,
but they uro Just uow awaiting further do-
vulopmouu
It is Koovvn that there were two in
cendiaries , and that they ran down the alley
north of Broadway for several blocks Ono
was n toll man nod the otner much shorter ,
and the police lmvn ncluons to their identity ,
but they have not bean arrested , although
their movements nro being closely wntchod
The fire will groitly crltiplo Lewis finan
cially , as ho n id boon branching out very ex
tensively Just what nrratigomcnts ho will
make enn not yet bo determined , but it is
hoped that ha will bo able to rcplnco nil the
property destroyed

To the Editor of Tub Beb : What is the
matter with the Nonpareil ) Its editorial ad
vocating for Ipwa u commission of nmlgra-
gratiou , contains the startling statement
that during the last IIvo months over eight
millions of pcnplo crossed the Missouri river
Into Dakota and the northwest In view of
the fact that by the census of 18S0 the total
population of all the states and territories
west of the Missouri did not roach 0,000,000 ,
such a statement is so nonsonslcal us to
causa a broad grin ,
It is further stated that farms of ilCO ucies
should bo reduced to eighty acres , so that
the farmer can malto moro money The idea
of a man making money on un oighty-acro
farm , growing corn at 15 cents a bushel ,
and potatoes at 15 to 30 cents , 1b equally pre
posterous The farmer must have pasture
land , hay land , corn land , a garden , u patch
of timber , and an orchard Where can you
have them on eighty acres , and make a de

not boast of that The fuct is , that a
knitting lady had boon in pursuit of.mo
for two weeks , until now 1 had her
ncodloa on the brain I do not need to
describe a knitting lady She is the
prim person who Units cvorywhero on
railways , In restaurants , ut concerts ;
nnd I wish there was a law against her
This ono knitted in Cologne cathedral ,
and was probably a greater nuisance in
Paris than the Eiffel tower
Consider the trying circumstances in
which we first met 1 was traveling
alone , but at Calnis got into a railway
compartment aloug with seven other
mon , all bound for Paris Wo had just
suttlod down comfortably , and lit our
cigars , when the door was lluntr open
and a lady entered , preceded by six
packages , and followed by a portoman-
tcau and a tin box ( with sliarp edges ) .
Our hearts sank within us "I object
to smoking , ' ' she said , nuU in the tone
of ono uecustomcdito bo obeyed It was
"
it compartment in ' which wo could only
smoke If every one was agreeable ; so
eight cigars had to go out at the win
dow I dent greatly complain
ot that ; but hear what fol
lowed Having made a foot
stool of her tin box ( by planting
it between my logs ) , she produced front
the portmanteau a white Unify thing ( I
am not aeuiriinlodjWith the technical
term ) and beguuiit < oiicc to knit Some
of us tried to road ; but the most excit
ing novel failed to'ongross when accom
panied by the cltck-cliclc of long bono
nocdlos The four men who hud the
corners twisted themselves into sleep
ing attitudes , but the knotting und un
knotting of their logs showed that they
had not found pcaco I asked the man
on my right whether ho thought Mrs
Maybrlck would bo executed ; but cvon
that failed to make us cheerful
Soon pretense was given up The
readers laid asldo their books , the
slcopor sat up ; and there wo were ,
gazing hour after hour at these cxas-
porating needles Prom Cnlais to Paris
that terrible woman continued to knit
without intermission Ono lady had
been able to stop the emoking of eight
mon ; but eight men dared not so much
as request the lady as a favor , to stop
knitting I felt prostrated physically
und mentally when wo reached Paris ;
but the joy of parting from those
needles made some amends That
ends it , " I thought to myself , little
knowing that the persecution had just
begun
The next time I mot the lady who
knlt' .ed was nt Lucerne I was iu ono
of these Lucerne hotels where ladies
are admitted into the smoking-room ,
and was consequently smoking in the
hall wlion a cab drove up The hotel
was full , and so the newcomer was politely -
litoly informed I merely hoard
snatches of tlio convocation that ensued -
sued , for as I walked up and down the
corridor I was only within earshot now
and again The now arrival was a lady ,
and she refused to go away She was
provided , I gathered , with coupons , "
and , according to her argument , these
entitled hur to a bedroom in this hotel
But every room is occupied , " she was
told That is nothing to mo , " she replied -
plied , you are bound to tuko mo in "
Then she and her luggage dnpositcd in
the hall and the wrangling became
moro animated When it ceased I
thought ho had boon induced to go ;
but no , there she was still She was
t > t tin ding firmly in the hall , knitting
Tlion I Ittiow who she was , and smiled
at the ignorniico of a hotel proprietor
who thought ho could got the better ot
such n woman A quarter of an hour
afterward 1 went out , passing her in
the hall Hur packages , the porman-
toau und the tin box were gathered
round her llko chickens , nnd she was
calmly knitting I returned to the
hotel some hours afterward nnd wont to
the reading room ? iu quest of the Times
She was sitting ottu , knitting
Before I loft Luoorno I wont up Pll-
atus , and at the top of it felt so cold that
I resolved to come down utonco There
was a crowd of sUivbring humanity nt
the top waiting for the down train , und
in the crush Ivas hustled against a
lady , who retorted by shoving a lenifo
into tno I thought-it was a kulfo , but
it turned out tobo a noudlo , and sol
need hardly say who the lady was In
that bolflsh , Beaming crowd she knitted
tranquilly till the gate opened ; then she
knitted her wny Into a seat , and after
that she knittedjfjio whole way down
Pilatus The lost of ub gaped nt the
vlow , but I novfr saw her look out of
the window She had no tlmo for that
I have said that I found her knitting
in Cologne cathedral 1 also did the
Hiiino with her und her neoilles , and re
member that she knitted between the
courses at diunor , Porhnps It was at
Constance that she unnoyod mo most , I
had taken the precaution of asking her
which hotel she was going to there , so
thut I might go to another ono , At our
hotel an amateur concert was got up nt
which I was persuaded , woukly , to glvo
my celebrated Imitation of Mi- Irving
Wo } iud a considerable nudiunco , and
I felt in excellent form ns I
strode ( amid loud cheers ) to the read
ing desk I was clearing , mv throat to
begin , when I hoard a ollck-cllck-cliok ,
and , beheld , there was our lady knit
ting in the front seats ! The sight com
pletely unmanned mo ; and though I got
through my imitation somehow , it
musthnvo been n painful exhibition ,
for hovoral of the other uorformors
asked mo afterward If 1 was fooling nny
bettor now Next dny I sot oil for
Lnndcck ; but just as t was stopping out
of the train , I saw on the pint form a
tin box , a porloniHiitcnu and six pack
ages , with great presence of mind 1
sank back In my seat and lot tlio train
tnko mo lo Innsbruck Since then I
have not mot the lady who comes to the
continent to knit ; but I am not homo

When I nsked for nn explanation of

It was perhaps an hour boforc an

Hold from the rear side and the sheep
cumo running toward us Presently
there wnsn yelp and then all grow quiet
Ton minutes later a second dog came in
and ho was soon followed by a third
Then , ns half un hour passed without
another iilurm the three boys came
over to us , each dragging a dead dog by
