more could boast of being ihe ....acst and most prosperous city in the Indian Territory. Yesterday morning the entire business portion of the city was wiped out by fire and 150 business houses, among which were many two and three story bricks, are a smouldering mass of ruins. The aggregate loss entailed is variously estimated at between $500,000 and $800,000, with the latter figures probably coming nearer I the correct amount. The insurance

will foot up to but one-third of the loss. I The fire started at o'clock in the morning in the large livery barn of

Harper & Cecil, in Caddo street. It spread with marvelous rapidity, and within less than an hour's time nearly every business house 011 that street were in ruins. The city has 110 lire company or waterworks, but the whole maie population turned out and desperately fought the liames. It was soon apparent that the business portion was do lined and efforts were directed toward saving the resident section. They I worked like beavers and at o'clock had kept the flames within the clownI town limits. Two large brick national bank buildings and three other business houses 011 Main street, east of Caddo, I and the postoffice is the only business I portion of the city left standing.

The scone of the disaster on Main street is a sad one and the loss will prove a decided setback to the city. I Twenty-six livery horses were roasted alive in Harper & Cecil's stables. I

A man named Neu, a stranger who was permitted to sleep in the barn, was so badly burned that he can not recover.

The cause of the fire is not known, there being various rumors as to its origin, but it is undoubtedly incendiary.

The large fedev court building and jail were destroyed. Eighty prisoners confined in the latter were removed to the Baptist church beyond the danger line and placed under a heavy guard.

A list of the heaviest losses witli insurance follows: Noble Brothers, wholesale grocers, loss $30,000, insurance $13,000 J. B. Spraggins & Company, hardware, loss !{io5,000, insurance $1(3,000 W. O.

Mrs. Durant says that a young couple has come to her and stated that they entered the church yard about the time Hill claims to have seen the couple pass in the front gate. Yesterday afternoon the police received information from a laundry that a pair of bloody trousers had been left for cleaning. The police say that the trousers ore too big for Durant, but that they will trace the clew to find the' owner.

Miss Taber says that she missed the pocket-book some time ago while out riding near the Taber ranch on the San Bruno road -nd explains the presence of a card with Miss Williams' name on it by saying mat Miss Williams visited her some weeks ago and wrote her address on one of Dr. Vogel's cards. Elmer Wolff's testimony at the inquest was slightly mixed and some of Durant's friends thought he knew more of the crime than he wished to tell, and pointed to the finding of the pocketbook to substantiate their claim. It is a peculiar coincidence that the pocketbook should have been lost by one so closely related to Wolff and found at this critical time.

Two Men Instantly Killed and Seven Others Injured.

CHICAGO,

April 20.—Two men were

killed and seven were injured by the collapse of hoisting machinery in the Chicago Ship Building company's yards at South Chicago yesterday. The dead are: Harry Blake and Patrick Harvey. The injured are: John Conley, J. J. Hand, William McCallion, Michael Cussick, Frank Carver Colehour, William Hanlpke, 14 years old, and Harry Price. Each of the last three were slightly inju-ed.

The hoisting apparatus was used in the construction of the steel, merchant steamer Arcadia. The beams were sprung above the half completed vessel at intervals of 50 feet, from stem to stern. They were held in place by wire guy ropes fastened to stanchions on the ground at the ship's side. One of the small guy ropes broke. Under the increased strain on the remaining stays one of them snapped and with it a heavy cable gave v."ay. The bow beam fell as its supports were weakened and knocked the other three girders down, one after another.

Thirty men were at work on tho decks under the girders, when the accident happened. Blake and Harvey were at work riveting the plates on the deck and were struck by the same pole. Both men were struck in tin* chest and killed instantly. The rope which broke had been broken once and spliced by a foenian, who allowed it to remain

MFOLEON BONAPARTE.

Unconquerable Will and pose Revealed.

X.—FIRST CAMPAIGN

ITALY.

Seven days before the marriago of Napoleon ho was appointed Command-er-in-Chief of the Army of Italy. His star shone suddenly above tho clouds. He tarried with Josephine until the 21st of March, when tho honeymoon of the warrior—after twelve brief days of dallying young-husbandhood broke suddenly and ho set out for the field of glory. His love-letters to Josephine indicate that his nature was deeply stirred by her influence, and that his affection for her was as strong as any other feeling that ever compe ted with Lis ambition for ihe mastery of his life.

To have an independent command of an army, or armies, had long been the prevailing motive with Napoleon. True, many of his current sayings and actions

NAPOLEON AT THE BATTLE OF ARCOLE. seem inconsistent with tho predominant passion. Only a short time before departing on the first Italian campaign lie wrote a letter to Bourrienne, then an emigrant at Sens, saying, "Seek out for mo a small piece of land in your beautiful valley of tho Yonne. I will purchase it as soon as I can get together the money. I wish to retire there but recolloct that I will have nothing to do with national property. Quite insincero and fitful! Indeed, General, "a small piecoof land" is the last thing in this world that you wish for and as to your "retiring" there, your retirement is fixed for another place—that far-off island to which you referred in tho last clause of your school exercise at Autun. Your essay was headed "Possessions des Anglais you finished thus: "SainteHelene, petite isle." You will find it so!

Thi! miiitary glory of Napoleon properly begins with his first campaign into Italy. The St :csof that peninsula were about to "DO made the playthings of great ambitions. Whether the influence of

Austria and tho coalition should continue predominant from Piedmont to Venice was the question. Tho existing order in tho Italian States and cities favored tho Austrian power but tho popular party was in sympathy with Republican France. Bonaparte's mission into Italy was ostensibly for preoccupation and defense but it meant, out of tho nature of things, sharp war and speedy conquest.

Hardly had tho campaign in Piedmont begun before the Directory in Paris would send out tho veteran Kellerman to be second in command. This might be a compliment to a general-in-ehief not yet twenty-seven but not so to Bonaparte. Ho at onoo replied saying that it was indifferent to him (a thing most untrue) whether ho should serve I in Italy or somewhere else. All ho wished—so ran his plaint—was a brief page in history awarded for servico to his country. General Kellerman had nioro t'xperionco than he, and knew better how to malco war "but both togother we shall make it badly. I will not willingly servo with a man who considers himself tho first general in Europe." How strongly is here revealed the unconquerable will and self-suffi-cioncy and purpose of Bonaparte to be all or nothing! ,'-^1

Let us scan tho field. The coalition against France now embraced Austria, Bavaria, Piedmont, Naples, and England. The smaller States of Germany and Italy wero also in tho loague. For the "protection" of Piedmont and indeed of all Italy, an army of about sixty thousand men, thoroughly equipped and supplied, and commanded by General Beaulieu, one of the ablest and most experienced in Europe, had been sent into

Uegins His Career of Military Glory—Genius of the Great Soldier Displayed—Four Austrian Armies Heaten In Succession.

A New Boundary For France. [Copyright, 1895, by John Clark Ridpatli.

Ho the

power of combination, the discovery of new expedients, sudden adaptation to unforeseen contingencies, courage, ambition, foresight, subtlety, and indeed every quality fit to make him what ho was now about to bocome—the greatest commander of modern times.

At Montenotte, twenty-six miles west of Genoa, Napoloon fought his first field-battle. He attacked the Austrian division of D'Argentoau, and won a victory. Mark you, he fought with a division of tho enemy! This was on the 12tli of April, only twenty-two days after his departure from Paris. On the 14th he struck the Austrians and Sardin

ians at Millesimo, ten miles further on, and won another victory. On the next day he came on tho enemy atDego, and added a third. On the 21st, he reached Mondovi, forty-eight miles from Turin, and on the following day attacked and defeated the division of General Colli. In every engagement his blow was like that of a thunderbolt, Tho disciplined armies of his opponents broke before him.

The king of Sardinia was already beaten. After Mondovi ho made overtures of peace. Without pausing, Na-S poleon advanced on tho main Austriair division under Beaulieu. Him he found strongly posted on the Adda, holding the bridge that led into tho town of Lodi. Frederic the Redbeard hacB§ founded Lodi on the site of the ancient®! Roman Laus Pompeia. On tho l"th of May the Austrians, sixteen thousand!! strong, were attacked at the bridge offc the Adda by six thousand French grena-|§ diors, led by Napoleon and Lannes in|| person. The action was bloody and do-S§ cisive. The name of Lodi was added to|f the lengthening column of victories, Two thousand of the French were killed® and wounded, and a much larger num-|| ber of the Austrians. Here Bonaparte, f§ fighting in tho ranks, gained his famous title of LITTLE CORPORAL, which to the end of human annals will be repeated as his sobriquet.

Five days afterwards the conqueror fj entered Milan Lombardy was at his

AlY"r Arcolo, Wurmser threw himself into Mantua, and was cooped up. In January, 1797, Austria sent her third army into tiie field under General AI- g| vinczy. This great force proceeded tmnirds Mantua as far as Rivoli, where fj it was struck bj* Bonaparto and routed I with a loss of about twenty thousand men! At Favorita, on the 10th, the

Fronch were again victorious. Tho rum of Alvinczy's army was complete, and on February 2nd Mantua was surrendered with eighteen thousand prisoners.

Swiftly Napoleon followed up these §j tremendous successes. A fourth Austrian army, under Archduke Charles, came down from tho Tyrol as far as Tagliamento, where on tho IGth of March, it was routed by tho French. On tho 7th of April, an armistice was granted by Napoleon, and on the 18th ho mado with Austria his provisional I treaty of Looben.

Meanwhilo, another coup d'etat had occurred in Paris. By violence tho two great Councils of State purged theinselves of fifty alleged Royalists ami Anarchists. Carnotand Bartlielemy, membors of the Directory, wero sent flying into exile. Such was tho savage indig nation of the Republic that the coalitionbecame willing for peace. At Campoor O to 1 7 1 7 9 7 N a leou met tho representatives of tho German Empire, and with astounding presumption dictated to thatanciont power the terms of pacification.

feet. He mado levies and requisitions with a freedom only equaled by the audacity of the things accomplished. Na- §t pies, Modena and Parma went down §f before him: and the Pope, becoming peft titioner, signed an armistice.

Such was the iirst passage of the war and the second was like the first. Tho coalition was not to yield without further battle. Napoleon made Mantua his- §f next objective. Field-marshal Wurmser, of great fame, a veteran of seventy-two, came swiftly out of the Tyrol with a jj§ now Austrian army. Before lie could reach tho scene of action, Mantua was already besieged by Napoleon. Tho de- §1 fense held out until Wurmser's army |3 came flu in two divisions, and tho French were forced to fall back.

The division of his forces proved fatal to the Austrian commander. Woo to ii the army that was over divided in front of Bonaparte I At Lonato, on tho 3rd of If August, he attacked a tlirisinn of if Wurmser and gained a complete victory General Augereau was tho hero of the day. On the 5th and (itli of August a |g second battle, on nearly tho same field, was fought with still more decisivo re-

Iff

suits Wurmser was hurled back, and Mantua again besieged. Tho enemy soun returned to tho onset. At Riveredo, on the 4th of September, tho division of Massena defeated tho Austrians with great losses. On the 8th, at Bassano, Napoleon routed tho mam §ff force under Wurmser in persou. On the lg loth of November was fought tho great battle of Arcole where eighteen thousand French, led by Napoleon, Massena and Augereau, triumphed over the Aus-

triaus nearly forty thousand strong. Tho battle was fought in a swampy rogion traversed with causeways and diffi- §f cult bridges. After three days of desper- ft ato iighling Wurmser was so disastrously defeated as to end the contest.

Openly,

Aus

tria should cede tho Belgian provinces, recognize tho Cisalpine Ropublic, and accept fragments of Venotia. France should have tho results of the war, including the Ionian Islands. Sccrctly,'-' tho Rhino should henceforth be the boundary between Germany and France.

Before leaving the scenes of his glory Napoleon sent Joubert as his herald to Paris. Ho shall announce for us the following results: Tho campaign of the Army of Italy has oxtended from April -, 12th, 179(5, to October 17th, 1797. Wo have taken 150,000 prisohers 170 standards 550 siege pieces 600 field guns five pontoon equipages nine ships of 04 guns twelve frigates of 82 guns twelve corvettes eighteen galleys.
