Hartford special: The main portion of the Park Central Hotel, facing on High and Allen streets, fell down, hurrying ia the- debris at least fifty people. The cause of the saeideBt is not at present known, but it is supposed to have resulted from the explosion of the boiler in the basement, and from the havoo created in adjoining buildings; the' Sexplosion theory seems the most probable. Every window in the Earl House, fight across Allen street, Wats broken and the walls were smashed in many pieces. The noise ef the fait aroused the whole city, and in a very few minutes a large crowd surrounded the scene. It was a sight of horror, and one that will never be forgotten, x ntt uaiaes. ooipujwy vwr.,t oped the ruins, and the shrieks of the wounded and dvintr rose hioh above the Ml.nj.lra Af hoarse notes of the firemen and police - who had been summoned by an alarm from the firs department. It is the most terrible catastrophe that has ever been known in Hartford, and when the list of dead and wounded m completed it will be found to be a horror equal to any that has taken place within the last half century. The catastrophe was devoid of harrowing details attending an uncontrolled conflagration. One terrible crash of smokev flame,and quick rushing -streams of water, and all was over. The magnitude of the calamity cannot be realised, and in fact its -extent is not known. Young Perry, night clerk, ia buried -in the ruins. But from the best estimates tnat can be produced from the landlord and others, "it is probable that there were not far from fifty persons . in the hotel proper. Of these, perhaps five may have escaped uninjured amid the confusion of the early morning hours, leaving forty-five to be accounted for.

Buffon, the great naturalist, one day entertained a company of distinguished savants to dinner. At ifcj conclusion they all went out into the garden. It was a very hot summer's day. In the center o the grounds, there stood on a pedestal a large glass globe, which ono of the guest happened to touch with his hand, when he found to his astonishment, that it was warmer on the shady side than on the side turned toward the sun. He communicated this discovery to the other guests, who at ouoe proceeded to verify til statement What could be the cause? . An animated discussion ensued, in the course of which every imaginable law of physics was made to account for the strange paradox. At length our scientists agreed that it must be so, owing to the laws of reflection, repulsion, or exhalation, etc. The-hoet was, however, not quite convinced, and oalling the gardener, he said to rain : "Pray, tell ns why the globe is warmer on tho shady eide than on the side turned to the sun." The man replied: "Because, just now I turned it round for fear of its cracking with great heafr Qozette Anecdotiqne. Turning the Tables on Edmund Gosse. If the American we speak and write shall incidentally become as different in its vocabulary from the English ot the scholasticists as tbe rehabilitated Norse is from the Danish, we do not think that will be cause for grief, but the contrary. From its grammatical simplicity and inflexibility our language on the imaginative and critical side is always in danger of becoming poverty-stricken; any one who employs it to depict or to ohoraoterize finds the phrases thumbled over and worn and blunted with incessant use, and experiences, a joy in the bold locutions which these writers report from the lips of the people, where it is still alive. In fact it is in our humorists that the American spirit is most, truly reflected i and if they are giq loon Tin und BTtrn vacant, it is because most Americano' are mostly so. ,We are-' not so mnoh discouraged therefore, when Mr. Gosse denies ns a great poet, as we should be if he refused us a great humorist. But this we are sure that he would never think of doing; and in our security we are tempted to turn upon him and ask, "Has England produced a great humorist ?

A Fresh Masculine Craze The freshest masculine "craze" is the tailless dress-coat It m just what the nanie describes the regulation dresscoat, minus the claw-hammer finish. The innovation is not followed on striotly full-dress occasions, snoh as weddings, large dinners, dances, and the like; but it is permissible for evening calls, operas, and even afternoon teas. Now the tailless coat has been known for some time abroad as the 0owes coat;" but now that it is finding favor with us we distinguish it as tho "Tuxedo." The "Tuxedo," whioh is similar to the dross-coat in front butia otherwise the counterpart of the ordinary saokooat, is made of fine ribbed black cloth; the rolled collar is of black silk, and there are three pockets without laps.

MICHIGAN MURDERS. WUX THE MYSTERY 8 intROVKDIKCE THEM EVEB BK SOLVED

Jacob D. Crouch, Hl Uaaghler and Son-ln-X.aw, and a Drover Slaughtered In Their Sleep on tho. Night of November HI, 1883 A strife Case. Chicago Dally Tribune. j The publication in the Trtbu.it t the dispatch from Ann Arbor, Mich.. In which a detective named Baliard claimed. U have discovered a clew which might result iu the apprehension of the Oroooli murderers, bos revived the interest in n dork and bloody mystery which for five roars has remained unsolved. Tho night of Nov. 21. 1888. seven miles from the Vlllngo of Jnckson. Mich., in the Township of flprinpr Arbor. Jacob li. Crouch, his daughter, Eunice Whito. her husband. Henry White, and Moses Poiley. a drover, were murdered In their bods atthe home ot Crouch. Jacob D. Crouch removed to Miohlaun in 1830 from Oi-ange County. N. T., settling two years later on tho farm where afterward he was murdered. A keen, shrewd driver of bargains In horses and oattie, at the time of his death ba was worth $500,000. and. thought 74 years old. he was stIU a vigorous hard-working man. In 1866 his eldest aaughtef-el Miod with a poor young man of the neighborhood, Daniel S. Hotooatb. and. though tbe rather finally oxtended his forgiveness, it was with reluctance. The old man doled oat to tho couple occasional pittances, so that outwardly they seemed fairly prosperous. Mrs. Crouch died in childbirth, Judd Crouch, a puny, crippled Infant, surviving her. The eisht of Judd seemed to increase the sternness ot the old man's nature, and while s till a babe ho was sent to the home of his sister, Mrs. Dan Holoomb, where he grew Up. hie fattier, however, always seeming to cherish an antipathy toward him. There were three other chlUdren Eunice, at the time of hor mother's death 6 years old, and Byron and Daytoa, who left home and became Texas drovera Thus Eunice as she grow up took tho principal placo in her father's heart. Dayton died leaving an estate worth $60,000. Byron bought hts father's interest therein, and gave notes to tho extent of $30,000 to cover a part of the transaction. In 1880 Eunice asked permission to marry Henry White, a young merchant ot Jackson. The old man freely consented to the proposed union, but It met strenuous opposition from tue Holcombs and Judd -ad Byi on Crouch. The morning of Nov. 22. 11883, Mr. Crouch, Mr. and Mrs. White and Moses Poller, the latter a Pennsylvania cattle dealer who was stopping at tho Crouch homestead temporarily while on a purchasing tour, were found dead in bod. The house was a roomy, two-story country residence, standing bock some distance from the rottd. The old man hod a, whim never to look door or window. He hod been killed by a, gunshot wound in the back of the neck, the weapon evidently having been plaoed close to the body. In a front bedroom his eon-in-law and daughter were found. Both had been shot in the bead and there were bullet boles elsewhere In the bodies. Tbe bed on which they rested literally dripped with blood. Policy had boon killed by a bullet fired into the neck, almost identical with Crouch's death wound, while another leaden missile had entered his side. Tbo night had been wild. .dark, and stormy. Two servants slept 'in the house. Ono, a negro boy. George Bollcs. occupied an up-stairs room, above where the slaughter was committed. Ho heard repeated shots and groans, and, paralysed with terror, secroted htmselt in a trunk, into which ho could scarcely press his form. The stairway door was opened and some one listened for a tow moments to see whether tho lad bad been aroused, and then, evidently satisfied, closed It. The boy lay concealed until daylight come, and then stepped into Crouch's room, a-s had been ids custom, to awaken him, only to find him dead. He immediately alarmed the relghbors. Julia Reese, a domestic, had occupied a little back bedroom and bad slept undisturbed throughout the tragedy. The lnauest developed some Important loots. Oho wiM that, though Crout-h htm--Belt had considerable monoy In the house and the drover Polley also hod several thousand dollars In a poeketbook la his o lot lies, not a cent had been taken- but a pookage of notes, mortgages, and other papers ot a family nature was missing. Beneath the parlor window was a largo, plain track made by a rubber boot, as it some one hod stood there watohlutr. Another point brought out was through the testimony ot a Jackson merchant that he had sold to Dan Holcomb shortly bofore tho murder a pistol of the sanio anUhor as that with whioh evidently tho deed had been committed. The Michigan woods were soon full of de tectives, principally amateurs, stimulated bv the larse rewards offered bv the State and county authorities. Capt Byron Crouoh came from Texas and gave to Pfnkortou unlimited authority to run down tho assassins at any cone An inqat began which through adjournments dragged its way far into tbo months of the ttucceeding spring. Both the servants wero arrested, but almott Immediately released. Then James Foy, a hired hand, was suspected because he wore rubber boots which flttotl Into the tracks made under tho window; Iu tho faoo ot the testimony of a Jackson merchant that he hdd bought a pistol from him. Don Holcomb made a square denial. . Then tragedies erowdod quick and fast upon one another. Mrs. Dan Holcomb wd found dead in her bed, tbe -victim of- heartdisease, aggravated by the tragedy, though it was wldoly rumored that she had taken her own Ufa. A tow days later James Foy, tbe hired man, stung at an article in tho Union City Sevistm; mistook Elmer Shulos for D. J. Boston, the newspaper oaitor, shot I .m dangerously, returned home, lay down on a lounge, and an hour later was found dead, shot thiough the head, and although he grasped In his hand a pistol, physicians feo positively soouteu the idea of suicide that avardlotwas returned; "Death from hands unknown." The weapon In his hand was ot the same caliber as that with which tbe four people had been slain at tho Crouoh residence. Then Detective Brown, who was at work on the case, was met at night on the highway by two men, one of whom, after Inquiring his name, shot him In his thigh. Both then lied, but the detective at once caused the arrest ot Judd Crouch and Hugh MeCallum for the shooting. Following tats Dan Holcomb and Judd Crouch wero arrested, oharged with the quadnipplo killing. Three weeks luter Lorvnzo D. Bean, a farmer, became Insane from brooding over the tragedy, and died after seven days of terrible suffering. Within the two weeks following A. H. Loo imagined he was the murderer, and killed lilniBolf. Ten days afterward Joseph Allen was arrested la Canada at the instance of Honry Holoomb, who alleged (hat Allen bad confessed, while both were tramping together, that he oommited the SrTrn'e. rurthef 'telling where some of th papers were concealed. Allen was held but short time. uowoTer. onldithea causod Beury Holcomb ' anest for perjury, bui tho latter wu.s released afw months ago. Briefly flummorlsod, this remarkabld crime has tho following record up to tin present time: Four victims ot the original murder thu night of Nov. zi. ibss: jocod v. urouou, Aged 74 years; Eunioe White, his daughter. oge! years, an) ner unuorn raw; xioiir r white, hor husband, aged 81 years; Mosei Polloy. tho drover, aged 8S years.
