Telegraphic Brevities.

A receiver has been appointed at Kansas City for the Pennsylvania Investment Company. The liabilities are estimated at $3(15,000. The Cleveland Chamber of Commerce has decided to erect a new building on the public square, which is to cost, together with the site, half a million dollars. The Kirkham cold storage buildings at Anderson, Ind., were wrecked by a natural gas explosion and Harry Gaither was severely but probably not fatally burned. Senator Sherman receives a royalty on his book of $1 for each copy sold. As over 127,000 have been sold the Senator is reaping a satisfactory financial return from his effort. Murderer Lewis Martin Miller, who has been imprisoned in Fremont since the recent riot in Tiffin, Ohio, has been taken to the latter city to await his trial. No further rioting is apprehended. Emma Davis, the sixth victim in the fire in a Cincinnati tenement, died. She made an ante-mortem statement that she was the common law wife of the late Thomas Hanna, a millionaire whose estate owns the building that was burned. The only sensational event in connection with the trial of Sheriff Tamsen at New York was a rumor to the effect that “Old Bill Vosburg” told the district attorney that the three escaped prisoners, Allan, Killoran and Russell, had formed a plot to blow up the jail with dynamite, but that he was not in the plot. Russians were the instigators of the conspiracy of Li\Hau Shin against the King of Corea. The Russians who assisted in the affair have identified some of the Americans who participated in the plot. It is alleged that the latter joined in the conspiracy owing to the revocation of the gold mine concessions granted by the Queen and because their salaries as advisers were reduced.
