another room worn the bodies of Mrs. Chap
lain and her 3-year-old son , while up n ths
upper floor the firemen found Ida \VliltlnK.
the colored rervant , unconscious from smoke ,
but not seriously hurt.
CAKING FOIl TUB INJURED.
The Injured were taken to thfe homes ot
neighbor * with the exception of the icnrants ,
vho were conveyed to the city hospital. Tie
dead were carried acror.i the street to the
residence of Dr. K. . nathelor. where every
effort wa made to resuscitate them without
avail. When It wa * found nothing further
could be done for them , they were covered
with sheet * and laid out on the llnor of the
physician's parlor to await tlio coming of
the undertaker.
The flro , although a fierce one , was con
fined to the ArmlRer residence , which was
ruined. No cst'mate has yet ben made
of the IOM , but It Is thought ! the house was
wdrth nt least $6,000. The house Is Invited
for $3,500.
The news of the disaster spread with won
derful rapidity all over the city and a tre-
tnendoui crowd soon gathered In front t > f the
holme. Prayers for the dead and for the af
flicted were lifted tip In almost every church
In the city and expressions of sincere re
gret and sympathy were uttered from every
pulpit and In the households of the many
friends and acquaintances of the unfortunate
family
SIGHT WAS SICKENING.
The scene of the parlors of Ur. Uatchclor's
residence , where the bodies were carried ,
was harrowing. Even the undertakers and
their assistants , used to scenes of death ,
turned away at times half sickened. Mr.
ArmlRcr was burned to a crisp around the
upper part of his body. The white hair
around his venerable head was matted with
blood and cinders. Hls face and fore
head were badly burned. Mr. Ullcy dlel
from burns and suffocation. He was a rather
Btout anil mu cular man. The burns were
chiefly about his face , neck and shoulders.
His face was terribly distorted and
wore an expression of awful agony.
Hli left leg and side were slightly
burnoJ and there was a livid
flro mark across his chest. Dr. Manuel.
was terribly burned and his horribly scarred
face and body were twisted to one side
as though ho died only after making a su
preme effort for life. Gleaming In startling
contrast with the burned and blackened
flngcrg of Mr. Manuel's left hand glistened
a handsome diamond ring shaped like a
serpent with the glittering gem In the center
of the head.
Strong men who were standing In the
parlor turned their heads away .when two
undertakers brought In the body of little
Jnmes Chaplin , grandson of Mr. Armlger.
A woman standing near the parlor door In
the hall fainted The chlU was a blackened
cinder. Smoke and fire had dona Uiolr
fearful work. Even the throat and nostrils
were burned Inside. His little white night
gown was drabbled and spattered with cinders
nnd ilark stains from the burned body. The
two Ulley children were killed by the
suffocating smoke. They were not as badly
burned as the others , but their faces were
blsckcned from the bursting of blood vessels
and the crimson fluid stained their blackened
nltht gowns.
Mrs. Lotltla Ulloy , who IB so cruelly be
reaved , Is lying at the home of Ur. liatcliclor
In a , ssinl-stupor , seemingly unconscious of
her Irreparable loss and suffering groit physi
cal agony. The physicians say , however , that
her wounds arc more painful than rerlous
and that the only obstacle to her com
plete and speedy recovery will be the awful
shock ! slif has sustained and will again
experience when the full knowledge of the
di eacl d thing which has como to her makes
Itself clear to her mind.
Today's tragedy Is the third of a similar
character which has visited this city during
the past year. The first was that In which
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Whltorldge were killed
by falling from a ladder down which Mr.
Whlterldge was endeavoring to carry his
wife , after having refused the services of
the , firemen. This flre occurred on Januiry
15' 1895 , at 13 West Blddlj street. The.
* other tresulted In the" death of Mrs. ' Iloscoo
n. Heath , a daughter of vtlle late Commodore
Klttson of , St. Paul , and occurred at 29
"Wesftloyal avenue on March 21. 1S95. Dep
uty Fire Chief McAfee , today's " hero , was
presented with a medal at thaf" time for
herplsm , In endeavoring to rescue Mrs. ,
Heath. A more recent dlfasteryas that
at the old Front Street theater on Decem
ber 28 of last year , In which five men ,
throe -women and fifteen children lost their
lives during a senseless panic caused by a
false alarm ot flre.

CINCINNATI. Feb. 23. When the head-
lees body of Pearl Uryali was discolored
near Kort Tlioma ? en February 1 , the first
feeling was a chill of horror at the revolting ,
devlllih Ingenuity of the crime. Four day a
later when the confessed partner * In It , Scott
Jacksoa and Alonro Walling , not to men
tion the lad "William Wood , were arrested ,
the etcltcincnt over tlili lin pcakabfe atrocity
became passionate. Indeed , almost furious.
Aa one by one , day by day , the dumb wit-
neajcj of this crime , matchless for cold
blooded cruelty , came to light , all other
passions ga\o way to that of vengeance.
Pearl nryan's \ell , stained crimson with her
own blood , shed by hands Into which she had
confided herself , all too trustingly , for relief
nnd protection ; Jackson's bloodstained coat
and Waiting's blood-bespattered pantaloons
theio Intensified the horror and Inflamed pub
lic Indignation.
Nor did the fact of the exceptional high
. Handing of the families of the victim and
of the Inventors and perpetrators of the crime
tend to relieve the tension of public Indlgni-
tlon. They found the strong walls , the
barred doors and the Iron cell ? of the jail a
wclcotno shelter from the ominous storm of
human pinion gathering around them on
the outside. A lapse of three weeks since
the perpetration of the crime , together with
the undoubted discovery of the participants ,
as well as the * prospect of speedily commit
ting them on the hands of the law , has had
the effect of allaying the harsh , Impulsive
Impatience * of the first public tvntlmont.
During thorpast week1 , In the abienco o
new and ntrlklng developments , the public
Interest In these accused men , Jackson am
Walling , has assumed a new phaaj. That
fascination which mystQry has for the masses
has drawn visitors. not by the score and
hundreds , to the Jail , hut by the thousands
.every day. Beginning on Monday of las
week , the flow to Uie Jail of curious human
ity was contlnuoiiD from morning till night
In fair weather and In foul. In fact , as
the weather grew colder , the stream of call-
era grew larger In volinno and steadier In
flow. On last Thursday the number hat
grmvn to 1,000 , on Friday It Increased to
l.DOO , i
WORE OUT THE JAILERS.
The Jailer and his guards were absolutely
worn out In letting Iho people In and out
This became so burdensome that on and after
Saturday all visitors were excluded. In facl
the excitement wua tolling on the nerves o
the two leading prisoners , Scott Juckson ant
Alonzo Walling. Not one visitor In a hun
dred cared to see William Wood. A limit
was placed upon the time visitors were per
mitted to stay. At Intervals of a very few
minutes the Jail was cleared nnd a now In
stallment of sightseers was admitted. In the
corridors of the jail the visitors were ar
ranged In two lines facing Inward and formIng -
Ing a lane"through which the two chief pris
oners were led , slowly , one at a time , for
public Inspection , like horses at an auction
before n group of buyers. Doth Jackscn ant
Walling stood this ordeal while It lasted
with steady nerve nnd firm s'tep. Weariness
and depression caino to botli at the close o
Uie day after this was over.
William Wooil , the boy wlio Is charged
with aiding and abetting theoa criminals , was
an Interested spectator of thcsa exhibitions
From the balcony of his corridor , which Is
two htorles above Jackson's and Waiting's , he
could command an jcxcellent view of the
whole performance. Vlaltors usually simply
looked at the prisoners much after the man
ner of viewing savage beasts at a menagerie
without speaking a word.
'
As to the character'of these visitors , llie
singular fact Is that at least two-thirds of
them are women. Of these the greater num
ber are blooming young girls with rosj
chseks and bright eyes. Once In a while a
group of matronly women call , but this Is
comparatively rare. Of course the most o :
the callers have been from Cincinnati and the
neighborhood. A highly respectable minority
are from .Indiana ami nioro distant states
116thers take their little ones and daughters
Christian people , who are Sunday habitues of
the Jail , seek to talk to IVie prisoners on re
ligious subjects and moot a heaity recep
tion. What Inspires the desire to see these
prisoners Is a problem for the psychologist.
Mystery has Its charms tor men. That Jal !
bag held many a man with a dark secrcl
locked In his breast. It never enclosed In
Its gloomy walls two men with a blacker or
more ghastly secret weighing on their con
sciences. If they have any , than that of
I' arl Bryan's murder , the sacret of which
one or the other , or both of those men ,
have In tlielr guilty keeping. Their dis
tinction as participants In a crime that will
go Into Uie calendar as one of the most sin
gularly atrocious of the last decade , greatly
enhances public Interest * In them and in a
measure accounts for curiosity to see them.
There Is also In the public mind a belief that
they are In great danger of dying by. the sen-
Unco of Judge iynch's court , wjilch makes
llisiri objeqts of peculiar Interest. .This be
lief may not be well' grounded ; but It ex-
isto. '
Interest In the present contents of that
Jail Is shown b ? every pas-sorby on the
street. Groups of men and boys pause and
stare at It. Market women nnd factory girls
rivet their eyes upon It as they trudge past.
William Wood , llio mere boy entangled In
the beginning of the eronnons crime , has
no such public distinction as that of the two
actors In It. An Indiana visitor betrays the
state from which he comes by asking for
Young Wood and by tlio peculiar Indignation
he sliowt , against that lad for his shars In
the outset of the crime. With the great
mass of people Wood Is not taken Into con
sideration , Tlio hideous monstrosity of the
crime of which the two chief prlsonirs are
accused gives them a grim and ghastly dis
tinction that overshadows and obscures the
personality of all minor actors In It ,
In the Enquirer today Scott Jackson , the
accused murderer of Pearl Dryan , has a
card addressed to the public , In which ho
simply reiterates the story he has often
told ot his connection with the case. He
exonerates himself as a principal , just as
ho has done before , and gives the leader
ship In guilt to Walling. Ho docs not
throw a ray of light en the mystery of
where ( 'earl Ilryan was the Wednesday and
Thursday nights before the murder. No
doubt that much he says Is trite , but far
more truth Is withheld than Is stated. He
thinks the press has been unfair tp him and
makes this statement over his own signa
ture to set the public right.

WASHINGTON , Teh , 23. ( Special. ) Sen-
at-r George of Mississippi has Introduced a
bill appropriating $5,000 for the purchase
of five manuscript volumes , being the letter
books of William Vans Murray , formerly
minister of the United States at The Hague
and at Paris. William Vans Murray was a
prominent member o ! congress and diplo
matist during the early days ot the republic.
He was born In Cambridge , Md. , In 176.1
and died there In 1S03. He received a clas
sical education In this country and went , In
1783 , to London , where he studied law In
the Temple. He returned to Maryland In
17SO and practiced his profession ; was In
the state legislature , and In 1790 was elected
to cingrcsR as a federalist , serving seven
nr > a lift tiia nntltfn a a n ftinmfmr
of the lower house ' and Inter
ested In nil legislation that
came before that body and he had few su
periors In erudition , eloquence and skill In
debate. At the expiration of his congres
sional sorv.'cs In 1797 he was appointed by
President Washington as minister to the
Netherlands. Two years later , In 1799. he
was sent as envoy by President John Adams
and In the latter mission ho was associated
with Oliver Ellsworth , John IJavrle , the
former a chief Justice of the United States ,
and the latter governor of North Carolina.
Patrick Henry was originally nominated as
eno of these envoys , but falling health com
pelled him to decline the mission. The re
sult of the mission was a treaty with the
French government , at the head of which
was Napoleon Bonaparte , which averted
war. The biographers of both Mr. Murray
and Mr. Ellsworth claim for the subject of
their labors the chief credit of this success
ful outcome cf their diplomacy.
On the conclusion of this epeclnl mission
Mr. Murray returned to The Hague , where
ho remained until Thomas Jefferson became
president In 1801. Ho then returned to his
home In Cambridge , where. In 1803 , he
died. Mr. Murray published a pamphlet , en

SEEKER AFTER INFORMATION.
Senator Allen Is pushing the government
ownership of railroads Idea for all It Is
worth and It Isssald that he has the faculty
of making morn work for department clerks
than any other man In the United States
senate. Thejpthor day ho Introduced a long
resolution relative ! to Iho Union Pacific rail
road , directed to.rthe secretary of the In
terior , asking fora whole lot of Information
as to the construction of the Union Pacific ,
the Central Pacific , ( lie Sioux City & Pacific
and the Kansas Pacific and even went so far
as to call upon the secretary for the names
of the stockholders , bondholders and mptt-
gagces and tho'-amount ot said stocks , bonds
and mortgages held by them respectively.
There was objection to the resolution being
directed to , , th.e.pccretary of the Inferior
and he was finally prevailed upon to amend
It by dlrectltfe IV to the commutes on Ta-
clflc railroads. / Apart of thla Information
which Senatflr. .Allen desires Is available ,
but until the cpmmlttee Is empowered to
subpoena the comptrollers of these various
roads nrd compel" them to bring in their
books , ' wialdiiseem absolutely Impossible
; tp job' the-T pawes of thp.stockholders ,
bondhulujrs and'mortgagecs andtlie , amounts
of their sdveral holdings. What the com
mittee will do with that portion1 of the reso
lution Is hard to tell , .but . undoubtedly some
of these days a report will be made by
Chairman Gear that the Information sought
Is not obtainable and Senator Allen "will
have to bo content with the Information
contained In thei early reports on these gov
ernment-aided railroads.
At the last session of congress a resolution
was adopted authorizing a compilation of
every presidential message , annual , special
and veto , and every presidential proclamation
from the foundation of the government to the
present day. This work was delegated to
Representative Richardson of Tennessee ,
chairman of the house printing committee
of the last congress. He lm& now devoted
six months to this work and ho has only
reached the admlnlEttratlon of 'President
Polk. The work will be In several volumes ,
the first of which will appear In about sixty
days. It will not Include the Polk adminis
tration , but will touch upon his election.
No such work has ever been printed and
none ever before authorized by this govern
ment. Indeed , It Is said that the British
Is the only other government ever to attempt
to gf-t out such a work. These volumes will
contain steel gravlngs of the presidents ,
tlielr cabinets , nnd others with whom the
messages and proclamations deal. Mr.
Richardson hopes to complete the work by
the expiration of this congress , the same day
on which this administration will also ex
pire. There will be 6,000 copies of the work
published , 4,000 for the house of representa
tives and 2,000 for tlio senate , to bo dis
tributed throughout the country by senators
and representatives.
MADE SOME DISCOVERIES.
Mr. Richard eon discovered that not even
the State department , with nil of Us red
tape and love of tradition , possesses either
a complete ; volume or full set of the
proclamations of the presidents. He found
reference to proclamations In the stat
utes at largo of which the State department
had no trace. These wore finally secured by
tunning through the newspaper files In the
library of congress by the aid of Librarian
Spofford. One Important message was lost
from the files of the State department , and
was finally found published In the National
Gazette of Philadelphia durlrg the year
1790. The matter In the different volumes
will be arranged In chronological order.
Perhaps the most Interesting of any dis
covery of Mr. Richardson , which has never
before been publliJiied , Is President Washing
ton's rejoinder lo the notification of his elec
tion as president'the first time. Tlio secretary
of state was sent from Now York , where con
gress was then sitting , and where the first
Inauguration took , place on Wall street , on
the- present slto t > follif. subtrsasury , to Mt.
Vcrnon , with tJrori written notification. The
secretary matio MIS gourney in a carnage ana
performed hla pur * < > f the * ceremony In a very
formal manner. 1,111 Washington , always a
stickler for form/and ceremony , made an
equally formal iiretfy In writing. Both of
these- Interesting iblstorlcal documents will
appear In Ibis worJc.
In this connection , It Is Interesting to note
that Senator Chandler Imu Introduced In
the senate a tbllluto purchase for $10,000
that portion of jthe. unpublished corcspond-

COLLIERS , W. Vn. , Feb. 23. People are
much excited In this vicinity over a recent
find , which. It Is claimed , clears up a mys
tery of thirty-two years' standing , the
remains of four human beings having been
discovered in an abandoned coal mine , a mile
east of here. David Snyder lias explored the
old mine , which has not been worked since
tbo 'COj , and discovered the human bones.
One of the skeletons was sitting upright
against a ledge. Beside this skeleton was
found a flask containing a note that ex
plained the mysterious disappearance of John
Ewlnij , Ben Ayres , Tom Acholaon and Joe
Obney , thirty-two years ago. Tho1 notes
were written In pencil , but are well pre
served. They read as follows :
November 2 , 18C3. Should tills ever reach
the outside world , let tt be known that we

of the Si'tmtc'N Tluu Sc % rrul
Si-ntitorM DOM u to
WASHINGTON , Feb.JO. . The house Is
pushing alund the appropriation bills with
all possible- speed , with n vlc-w to an early
flnal adjournment. Already five of the thir
teen general appropriation bills have bcn sent
I" the senate ; the army , military atadcmy ,
deficiency , dlplomat'c and consular and agri
cultural. The District of Columbia bill has In
It several disputed Items , but will , It Is bo *
llevcd , cause llttlo trouble when It Is again
brought Into the house. The Indian bill U
now under consideration and the executive ,
legislative and judicial , the next In order. Is
on the calendar. The naval and postolllco
bills will be brought In this week. When
these are disposed of but three will remain
the sundry civil , general deficiency and for
tifications.
The house leaders are still hopeful that
soniQ way can bo found to secure action on
the tariff bill In the senate , but beyond that
there appears to be llttlo chance for general
legislation , except , perhaps , a bankruptcy
and possibly a Pacific railroads bill. Consequently
quently they are hurrying along the appro
priation bills and shaping things for an
carhadjournment. .
Mr. Cannon , chairman of the appropriations
committee , said to an Associated prcM re
porter today that slno ilio adjournment
should be reached by the middle of May.
Notice has been given by Mr. Johnson
that ho will , on Tuesday , call up the Vnn
Horn-Tarsney contested case , but beyond that
tt ts Gp ° ct"d the appropriation bills will
consume the remainder of the week.
The probabilities are that the Cuban ques
tion and the tariff bill as affected by the
sliver substitute will divide the greater part
of the tlmo cf the senate during the present
week.
There will bo an effort on Monday by
Senator Dubois , chairman of the committee
on public lands , to secure unanimous con
sent to lay the Cuban resolution aside to
permit the consideration of the bill extend
ing the limitation of the tlmo In which suits
may be brought to secure the restoration of
certain granted lands to the government.
The present limitation expires In March and
the president hns , by a special message to
congress , asked for Immediate action This
bill Is one which will excite some debate.
but It Is probable an amicable arrangsment
will be made for Its c'lisldcratlon some time
during the week. If not on Monday.
Senator Morgan will continue his speech
on the Cuban question whenever that sub
ject Is again taken up. He probably will
consume the greater part of another day
In expounding his views and will be fol
lowed by other senators. Including several
rf the members of the committee on for
eign relations , among them being Senators
Sherman. Giay and Turpie. There altro will
bo speeches on Cuba by several senators not
members ot the committee. Senator White
will make an address during the week on
the legal aspect of the Cuban resolution ,
criticising Its form and contending that there
can be no recognition of belligerency except
by executive action. It Is the purpose of
the advocates of Cuban recognition to keep
the question as well to the front as they
can until It shall bo disposed of. though
they are not hopeful of securing a vole
this weelc.
Senator Carter will make his speech on
Wednesday on the tariff silver bill and Is
expected to explain his reasons , as well as
these of his republican colleague's. In voting
upon the consideration ot the bill ten days
ago unor Senator Merrill's motion. He will ,
In all likelihood , be followed by other sena
tors who acted with him and a very ani
mated debate may result.
It Is probhble that the army and agricul
tural appropriation bills may bo reported
during the week , but not likely that they
will receive Immediate attention.

Every llvlng _ thing , plant or animal , con

In thu human body thuse germs of die-
ease and death ( culled by scientists 1'to-

digestion of food ; the result of Indigestion or
dyspepsia.
The stomach , from abuse , weakness , does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the food.
The result Is a heavy , tojilcn mass which
ferments ( the first process pf decay ) , poison

bruin , causing headaches and pain In the
eyes ,
Dad digestion Irritates the heart , causing
palpitation and finally bringing un disease of

Poor digestion poisons the kidneys , caus

And this Is so because every organ , every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal , and wualc diges

Now Testing It ,

port Favorably After Using the'
Free Samples Obtained at
the World-Herald Office.
Nothing Like It Kver Seen or Heard
of in Oinaliu He fore.
The free- distribution of Kirk's Eos ( Elixir
of Soap ) at the World-Herald was among lha
most successful affairs aver undertaken by
that newspaper , 6,750 being the exact number
of samples handed out Friday nnd Saturday ,
and although but three days have elapsed
since the first sample package was given
away people are already , both In letter and
In person , congratulating James S. Kirk &
Co. upon the results obtained from using
tlielr now preparation.
The giving1 out of a tree p.ickigc to alt
those who were sufficiently Interested to
apply for It , Is of Itrclf n guarantee to the
public that the manufacturers have perfect
faith and entire confldenco In. . the merits ot
'I
their article.
No fairer way can suggest Itself to Introduce
a new article than jo hand It out free , and
say to everybody : "Try Jt ; and If you find
It Is Just .as wo represent It to be. then go
to your grocer and buy a package. If you
do not nnd It just as represented , your ex
periment has cost you nothing. "
Last evening a reporter callid on ac'I
George lludlo , the Omaha representative of
Kirk & Co. , and In an Interview obtulnnl
the following Information regarding tliolr new
discovery , that la creating such a sensation.
In answer to a. question ho said : "Yes , wo
are aware that there has been from time to
time many preparations put upon the market
claiming to do what Hog ( Elixir of Soap ) ac-
tually does , vlz.To : do the family washing
without one particle of soap ; to soften Urn
hardest of water , making It soft nnd ve.Ivo.ly ;
but all have proven failures. Every Ingre
dient In Klik's Eos Is of an absolutely harm
less nature. "
KIRK'S EOS Elixir of Soap
The many iitirnoHcM for hlcli Itnn
Eos was designated to bo a perfect wash
ing compound , a preparation that would do
the waging better than It had ever boeu
done before , with less labor and without the
UBS ot a parKclo of soap. To accomplish
such wonderful results the best equipped
laboratory In the United States has been
bending every effort for years past.
U la believed that the public Is fully awara
that when a piece of goods passjs th ; crucial
test of the chemist In charge of this pxtenslyo
laboratory and the preparation emerges from
'Jii3 factory bearing the name and trade mark
of James S. Kirk & Co. , that U mns ( bp 0.1
near p&rfect as modern science can make It.
Among the other advantages Eos has over
any washing powder on the world's market
today are : That a 'title Eos In tha water
makes it soft and velvety. Any one putting
tholr hands in water prepared -with jEos. ' will
almost Immediately exclaim : -"My , this water
feels like satin ! "
It Is guaranteed that Eos will prevent
flannels and woolens from shrinking n par
ticle , and that If you wash your flannels In
water In whlclii Eos Is used that they will
como out of the wash pott , fleecy and white.
For all scouring ind cleaning purposes Eos
occupies a preeminently first position.
Use Eos In doing your family washing. ,
U&a Eos1 to wasli you dishes and for gen
eral kitchen work !
Use Eos to scour your milk pans !
Use Eos to clean your paint !
Use Eos when you scrub your floor , nnd
we repeat that your work will be done hotter
than It has ever bjcii dona heretofore at half
the Ubor and expense.
