One of the most disastrous fires that ever visited the business portion of Cleveland occurred the other night. The dry goods emporium of the E. M. McGillin company was totally destroyed, involving a loss of at least $600,000. The building was a five-story brick block on the corner of Superior and Seneca greets, and extending back to Long street. Shortly, 'before midnight flames were discovered in the rear portion of the . building, and so quickly did they spread that before the arrival of the fire department, the flames had shot up through the elevator shafts and were Jan leaping 100 foot into the air from ths

roof. In a remarkably short time the whole building was a roaring furnace ’ from basement to roof, and the inflamable character of the stock rendered the establishment a veritable tinder box. The fire was confined to the building tn which it started, but at one time it seemed certain that the building across Seneca street could not bo saved, it being on fire several times. Good work of i the fire department only prevented a more disastrous conflagration. BURNED AT THE STAKE. Such w«* the Fate ot a Colored Rapist. Texarkana (Ark.) special: Ed Coy, the colored brute, who committed the fiendish crime of rape on the person of Mrs.’ Henry Jewell, a respectable farmer’s wife, with a 5-months-o)d child at the breast, at her home three miles southeast of this city, answered for his awful crime by a horrible death by fire in the presence of 6,000 people. He was burned at the stake. Mrs. Jewell, the victim of his fiendish lust, was requested and did apply the match that gave to the brute ton minutes foretaste of that hell beyond, in which, no doubt, Coy’s soul has found a homo. Mr. Jewell loft his home on Monday, last after dinner to come to town for the transaction of some necessary business. He left his young wife with her cooing babo in her arms in tho best of health sand spirits, little dreaming when he kissed her good-by of tho terrible fate that awaited her during his absence. Shortly after the husband's departure a colored man appeared at the door and asked the whereabouts of Mr. Jewell, and the unsuspecting woman informed him that he had gone to town. The visitor gave his name as Davis, and said that he had some hogs to sell to Mr. Jewell. A considerable conversation was held between them, and tho woman thus had a good opportunity while not under excitement to note the general appearance of the man. After the latter had gone Mrs. Jewell concluded to visit a neighbor half a mile distant, and went out to lock the door. The colored man, who was in hiding, sprang from of concealment, seized her by the throat and after a desperate struggle succeeded in accomplishing his diabolical purpose. He then dragged the fainting creature into the barn, where he kept her for about an hour assaulting her repeatedly. Finally when he was making ready to go he took up the gun which he carried, and finally yielding to her pleadings, left her and disappeared in the woods. COLD LEAD! For a Gay Parisian Deceiver. Paris special: Great excitement was caused at Cannes by tho shooting of M. Abeille, a well-known Parisian, by an American banker named Deacon. It is asserted that Deacon came home unexpectedly and suspecting that all was not right burst open the door of his wife's apartments at the Hotel Splendide and discovered his wife in a compromising position with M. Abeille, whom he shot and mortally wounded. Mr. Deacon returned homo from Paris unexpectedly and knocked angrily at the door of his wife’s room, upon arriving at the hotel, and when the latter admitted him, it was clear Jrom tho appearance of both Mrs. Deacon and M. Abeille who was in her company, that the husband had good grounds to conclude, that his wife had been unfaithful to him. She is said to have fallen upon her knees and to have implored Mr. Deacon to have mercy upon her, and the ' latter seems to have been ' content to turn his pistol upon the guilty friend, who is now reported to have died from the effects of the shot he received 1 at Mr. Deacon’s hands. Tho affair has caused the wildest kind of excitement in Cannes,* and it finds startling echo here, where alkthc parties concerned are well known.

All the parties in the case are so well-known that it is almost impossible to enter a social circle without meeting some of their Mr. Deacon is upheld on all sides, particularly among Americans, for killing his vjife’s lover, and very little if any sympathy is left for Mrs. Deacon.

Mary Helen Montagu. The bare details of the affair are known at present, as the greatest efforts have been made to keep this matter secret and to shield the family, but the crime is of such a shocking nature that the servants, neighbors, and others insisted that justice should be done, and there seems to be a prospect that a lady of the Montagu family may meet death at the hangman’s hands. Eime-Novel Boys. At the Townsend Street School, Lansing, Mich., one of the teachers had occasion to punish a 10-year-old pupil named Guy.Qottington.

Besides giving wage-earners a half-holiday every week, let the great preachers, who will be here from all parts of the world, hold Sunday services in all the World’s Fair buildings which will admit of it That is the way to settle the matter.” Dynamiters at Work.

■ CONGRESS IN CHICAGO, r - LEGISLATORS INDULGE IN A , WESTERN JUNKET. A Rou*lng Welcome Given to the Dlstingulahed Gue*t*—Chicago Extend* the Invitation In Hope of Securing an Appropriation for the Fair. 1,1 Congrei* Come* Writ, The Congress of the United States arrived In Chicago the other day for the first time, and, according to the way Chicagoans tell it, held a special session in the future national capital. Congress often delegates committees to visit other cities on the public business. This time it has delegated Itself and tho marble halls of Washington were lonesome for two or three daye, while Chicago donned her best bib and tucker and did her best to show off, so to speak, in tho presence of her distinguished guests. The business which has called Congress together in Chicago, says a leading paper published in the Windy City, will not occupy much time, but it Is of the highest importance. First and foremost will bo the visit of inspection at the World's Fair grounds. It goes without saying that as the invitation came

17 W 'A, brought the whole outfit.

from the citizens of Chicago there will be no attempt on the part of the Fair officials to usurp the time or to prejudice the session. They will be on hand to explain when asked and to furnish desired information, leaving the colossal panorama at Jackson pork to toll Its own story. Congress Itself will take the lead, as is proper, and there will be no attempt on the part of any one to influence its judgment as to what it shall do in the premises. Chicago is confident that seeing will be believing in this ease, and that when members have used their eyes in seeing and their tongues in asking questions they will go back to Washington thoroughly qualified to talk, act, and vote intelligently. They will have tho opportunity to discover how money has been spent, how the great undertaking has grown, and how much more will be needed to make the great National Fair worthy of the States which have contributed so generously for their own representation, and of the whole country, which has made its appeal to the nations of all the world, through its President and Secretary of State, to come and send their exhibits. Whatever may be the result of this visit Chicago will be contented. It has no fears, however, as to the future official action of Congress after its members have had the opportunity of seeing for themselves what has been done and what remains to do. One hour of personal inspection will be more convincing than weeks of talk or months of argument would be. If the time allows, there is another national matter which should engage the etteniion. of the session. There is a cuge bulldog at. the comer Dearborn and Jackson streets, in which the Fedhrai Government transacts its postal, austom-house, law court, and other business, which is slowly but surely tumbling down by piecemeal. It is important that the Congressmen should see this disintegrating pile for themselves, and if they will risk the visit they may even have a chance to see some of it fall while they are there. They should then make a flying trip to the lake-front and inspect the opportunities there for the erection of a government building. This done It will be in order to move for an adjournment of the Chicago session. TO BE A THIRD TICKET. The People’s Flirty to Have a Candidate ot ll* Own. There will be a people's, or a third party, or an industrial Presidential ticket in the field in the coming campaign. This much may be set down as a fact. The nominating convention will be held prior to the first week in June, when the representatives of the Republican party will assemble in national convention in Minneapolis. The location of the gathering will be either St. Louis, Birmingham, Ala., or Atlanta, Ga. The Presidential timber will be conflne4 to L. Jj. Polk of North Carolina, Congressman Tom Watson of Georgia, ex-Congressman Featherson of Arkansas, Colonel R. M. Humphreys of Texas, and H. G, Taubeneck of Illinois. The choice for Vice President will rest between George F. Washburne of Massachusetts, Congressman John Davis of Kansas, and Marion Cannon of California. Present indications favor the somewhat euphonious ticket of “Tommy and George.” Politics is mighty “onsartin,” but this is the barometer of the delegates to the confederated industrial conference which assembled in formal session in the Exposition Building, says a dispatch from St. Louis. Fifteen hundred have arrived—enough to crowd the Hotel Richelieu and all the boarding houses for a quarter of a mile around—and five times that number are expected, according to the advance credentials that have been received. Delegate Washburne, of Boston, who was Secretary of the People’s Party Convention held in Cincinnati last February, says that the assemblage is the biggest industrial conference ever held on earth; that the delegates represent organizations with an actual membership of 7,000,000, and that a majority of the actual voters as the South are represented. Appearances favor the claim. Certain it is, moreover, that all the political isms that have ever been given birth in the home of the free and the land of the brave -will have voice apd utterance. The spokesmen of the single tax theorists, of the Grangers, of the Prohibitionists, tho Greenbackers, the bimetallists, the siib-treasuryites, the antis, the Knights of Labcf, the anti-monopolists and the woman suffragists are here in force. Frances Willard, accompanied by Lady Henry Somerset., who simply looks on with British eyes, was first on the field. Following in her wake came A. J. Streeter, of Illinois, the People’s party candidate for the presidency four yearE ago; 1 Jesse Harper, of the same State, who boasts of the honor of having placed Abraham Lincoln in nomination; Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota; Gen. James B. Weaver, Iowa; Col. R. M. Humphreys, of Houston, Texas, Superintendent of the Colored Alliance of the South; Representative Taub< neck, Illinois; Robert Schilling, L. L. Polk, of North Carolina; and Congressmen Otis and Davis, of Kaiisas; General Master Workman Powderly and Secretary Hayes, of the' Knights of Labor; Senator Peffer, Congressman Simpson and others. .. , - -* ' JtfM' "1
