v,iricli had been from tho

southeast, now changed and inc-'cased in velocity, blowing for a time directly from tho east. This communicated the flames to the two big tanks owned by the linseed oil mills, and the platform, oil which they rested began to burn I Jiercoiv. Thousands of people had cougregated by this time, and when they saw the tanks on lire there was a wild stampede.

The storage building was an immense structure, 0 by (50 leet, including tho brick storage annex. The main part of the elevator was live stories high and had a capacity of 150,000 bushels. In the bins at the time were stored 100,000 bushels of flaxseed and on the lower rioor was several thousand tons of linseed oil cake ready for the market. In the annex the oil was huge tauks, I having an estimated capacity of 120,000 I gallons.

When it was plain that nothing could bo done toward saving the implement warehouse, the firemen turned thenattention to saving the oil mill storagehouse. flavor Fletcher telegraphed to Lemars and Missouri valley for the fire departments in those towns, and they were soon ready to respond, but when it was found that the fire could be controlled, messages were sent to hold them back.

The building of the Western Transfer company was a mammoth frame structure, six stories high, covered with corrugated iron. The iron aided the flames, as it kept water from reaching the woodwork. Tho huge 1-story and basement warehouse, J(0 by 1 r»o feet, was filled ironi top to bottom with farm implements aud machinery, valued at about $200,000. Tins machinery was owned by about 20 implement companies in diilerent parts ut the United States. The list ol these companiesisas follows:

Rock Island Plow company, liook Island, Ills., Nebraska Moline How company. Omaha Sandwich Manufacturing company, Sandwich, Ills. Walter A. Wood Harvesting company, St. Paul

F. heiberlmg is Company, Akron, O. Aultinan Taylor Machinery company, ManshoLi, O. Advance Thresher company. Battle (..'reek, Mich. Kingman & Company. Omaha Norwegian Plow

Selby, Starr & Company, Peoria, Ills. Acme Harvester company, 1-Ykin. Ills.

The contents of the burned warehouse carried insurmeo aggregating $1,750 in tin? following companies: Insurance company oi North America, $15,(550 Liverpool London and Globe, .$4,000 Koyal, #0.000 Commercial Union,Jv},000 PhuMiix, .s^.oOO Norwich Union, $:•{.000 Tradi j\s, $(00 Franklm, §2,000 Philadelphia Underwriters, $4,000 Pennslyvani.i Fire, ^OOO.

The warehouse itself was protected by $:30,000 insurance in the Liverpool London and Globe jlnsurance company. Insurance on the oil mill can not be ascertained, as the National Linseed Oil company handles A»e insurance on all its plants. The Franklin and Pennsylvania companies each earned },000, aud the Commercial Union $(,000 on seed in the elevator. The value of the contents of the elevator at the market price would make the loss $300,000. a

Lafayette, March 22.—At 11:45 o'clock last night the east side of the public square was discovered to be on fire, Schuessler Brothers' dry goods store was burning.

St. Paul, March 32:—At 7 o'clock last night a stubborn flrfe broke out in the basement of a large block occupied by A. H. Schlieck as a shoestore, aud the firemen had a liard fight for Keveral hours. The total less on stock and boilding is estimated at (85,000, on which there was $70,000 insurance.

TORTURED BY ROBES IRS

Ail Aged Couple 1'ie:nlisl»ly Treated m.l Kobbed of Ttieir .Vtvi-iijs. Bradford, Pa., March 22.—Wednesday night ut Palmer's mills, a lonely spot on Marvina creek, tin aged couple •were tortured and robbed by masked men, the robbers securing over sti'.K). Tlie couple, Mr. and Mrs. Merritt Childs, who are over 70 years of age, were about to retire when a knock came at the door. The old lady answered the summons and was met with a blow on the head which felled her to the floor. The husband, who came to her assistance, was similarly treated, and three masked men entered the house. The husband and wife were then bound and? gagged, while the robbers ransacked the premises, finding $5!)0.

This did not satisfy them, aud Mrs. Childs was asked to fell where the balance of the money was hidden. She refused to divulge, whereupon the lit is bared her feet" and pressed them against the lvalue stove. She stou.l the torture': until her feet were terribly burned, and then made known the place when iotlier $100 was secreted.

This experiment encouraged the robbers, and both the old people were out through tlie torture again for tlie purpose of extorting more money.

All that remained of the savings of the husband and wife was :i) cents. This was secured by the. men, when Mr. and Mrs. Childs were bound and gagged aud left to their fate. They Men* discovered yesferdav morning bv neighbo/s in a pitiable plignt. .Mrs. Childs will prooabiv die ironi tlie ellects of the shock and torture, but the old gentleman will recover.

Three suspects are being hunted by officers. If captured they will have to be well guarded as the finding against them is very bitter in the neighborhood.

POLICE PUZZLED.

A Dying Man Says IIo Was allot but It illay Have ISeen Miiekle. Buffalo, March 22.—Lester T. Halliday died yesterday and the police are puzzled to know whether to believe his ante-mortem statement or to think he committed suicide. With his dying breath Halliday reiterated the story of highwayman's assault, but the bullet that pierced his lung did not perforate his coat or vest.

Tho shot was fired close to the body, aud the revolver was found where it had been flung from the bridge, all tending to confirm the suicide theory I rather than that of robbery. The police have made two arrests. The suspects are Lillian Preston and Calvin Baker, I the former Halliday's sweotuoart, and I the latter his rival. The woman accuses Baker of threatening Halliday's I life, though Baker does not answer the, description Halliday gave of his assail-

General Barrios, it is understood, has since submitted the matter to the govI eminent of the United States with the object of enlisting sympathy and aid.

The statement that Great Britain stipulated that no citizen of the United States should be a member ot the commission mentioned, is inaccurate.
