the boys had been picking turkeys all day preparatory to suiypius: taem to New York. Late in the events Mr Tollen had ocsasion to no '"it. to hue turkey pen, and found a large tat turkey lying there dead, but it had not been picked, and was almost hidden from view by a pile of feathers, but on the discovery of the bird he was more than satislied that nil was not right, and a trap must lie set ro catch the party who had thus arranged to steal the t,urk«v.

BRAVE FIREMEN DIE.

Marvelous Rescue of a Girl by a Captain.

GIRLS LEAP TO THEIR DEATE

Exchange Building ISurns in Chicago, Causing the Loss of Seven Lives and Near a. Half Million in Property—Panic-

Stiieken I'Vmales -Names of the Dead iiiul Injured. CHICAGO, NOV. 23.—The interior of the Exchange building, a 7-story structure at the corner of Van Bursn and Franklin streets, was destroyed by fire yesterday, entailing a loss of $875,000 upon the owners and tenants of the building and causing the loss of five lives, the fatal injury of two others and the injury of six other people, all of whom are expected to recover.

The dead are: I Patrick J. O'Donnell, lieutenant of engine company No. 2.

Martin Herrick, pipeman. John Downs, pipeman. John Prendergast, pipeman. All the firemen were crushed by falling debris.

Kittie Landgraf, jumped from fourth story window injured internally died at county hospital.

The Injured.

Harry Neil, jumped from fourth story window internally injured and left arm broken will die.

Nellie Turner, jumped form the third story window, internally injured will die.

Aggie MeClain, overcome by smoke will recover. Olcra Kellar, overcome by smoke will recover.

Hat tie Brenan, overcome by smoke will recover. Edna Rittert, overcome by smoke will recover.

Mnry Pinky, overcome by smoke will 'recover. Daniel McNally. driver for Engine com]any No. 2, buried beneath debris will recover.

It was a few minutes before 9 o'clock in the morning, when Rose Brace, employed by Stern & Beiers, noticed ordor of smoke. She was working near a door, and, stepping out into a hallway, her suspicions were confirmed. The corridors were rapidly filling with smoke and she ran back into the workroom. Thirty girls were there. "Fire, fire the building's on fire," the frightened girl cried, as she dashed past her companions. Instantly there was confusion. Following the example of the girl who had given the alarm, a score or more employes ran here and

to go. Although every effort was made to control the frightened girls, several opened the windows and climbed out on the ledges. One of the first to do this was Nellie Turner. She screamed for help and some one on the ground shouted to her to jump. She, however, went to another window near a fire escape, and climbed out.

Those on the street watched her movements with great anxiety. She grasped the escape and swung herself off froq? the stone ledge upon which she had stood and hundreds on the street below cheered. She commenced to descend. Officer Flaherty was also on the fire escape between the first and second story and when he saw the girl above him he started up to aid her. He was too late. She suddenly lost her balance and tell. Officer Flaherty tried to catch her but could not roach her. She was picked up unconscious.

A Fireman's Noble Act.

The escape of Olga Kellar is regarded p.s marvelous by those who saw her when she appeared at a fourth story window, blie was employed by Stein & Biers, and when the room where she was working began to fill with smoke she ran to one of the windows overlooking Van Buren street. She threw up the sasli and climbed out on the ledge, clinging with one hand to the narrow strip of wood on the outside, of the sash. She saw a few feet below her the ladder on which two firemen stood, and she prepared to jump. "Wait, don't jump," shouted Captain Hermanson, who had almost readied the window. Great volumes of smoke poured out of the window where the girl stood, and at times her form was entirely obscured. To the hundreds of persons who were watching lier from the street the seconds seemed like hours. Cheer after cheer went up for Captain Hermanson as he climbed up.

He had almost reached the woman when he suddenly stooped. None on the street knew the cause. He had heard the girl scream and as he looked up lie saw her reel and release her hold oil the window siding. She had been overcome by the smoke and had fallen. Captain Hermanson braced himself, and as the unconscious form dropped he seized it with his right arm. The effort nearly cost him his own life, for he narrowly escaped falling. From hundreds of throats cheers were heard as the brave captain descended the ladder with his human burden. He was greeted with unmistakable signs of approval as he carried the girl across the street into a drugstore. She was unconscious, but

we niistaken

Shortly before 1 o'clock

large safe on the fifth floor fell to the fourth, carrying it and the third, second and first with it. Five men, members of Engine company No. 2, were working on the second floor and all were

buried beneath the mass of brick, stone and timber. All were killed but Daniel McNally.

After nearly an hour's work, the rescuers had opened a passage way through the pile of debris and succeeded in getting close enough to where the firemen were buried to assure themselves that Lieutenant O'Donnell was alive. He was just able to talk and it was witli great difficulty that his words could be heard. Men who knew him well, recognized cis voice. "Is anyone near you?" one of the rescuers shouted. "Yes," came back the answer faintly from O'Donnell. "Hcwmauy?"

"Dead, I think!" ^Gradually the lieutenant's voice became weaker and his reply to the last question was scarcely audible. The

ip?fl

rescuers called -to'him and asked him, how seriously he' was injured. He could not make reply. rt

The fire soop. b?oke out again and the' rescuers were compelled to abandon their work.

O'Donnell's dead body was recovered at 7 o'clock last night. There were 47 tenants in the building but many of them were agents of eastern manufacturers and their loss will be small. The heaviest losers are:

Kuh, Nathan & Fisher, owners of the building, $100,000 D. H. Arnold & Company, clothiers' supplies, $20,000: S. Rosenberg & Company, tailors' supplies, $20,000 Stern & Beiers, wholesale clothing, $80,000 Broadhurst, Lee & Company, cotton and woolen goods, $25,000 S. D. Stryker, dry goods, $20,000.

The balance of the loss was divided among the many small establishments in the building, the losses running all the way from a few hundreds to $10,000.

STICKS TO IT.

Senator Sherman Says He Wrote Only the Truth. WASHIXGTON, NOV. 23.—"I wrote only the naked truth in my book and they can not weaken that though they come by the hundreds," said Senator Sherman when his attention was called to General Alger's letter taking exception to the senator's reflections upon his conduct in the national Republican convention of 1888. "I wrote only the facts of histoiy in that record. It was," he continued, "as disagreeable to me to write them as it can possibly be to others to have them published, but the facts can not be altered by objections on the part of those who feel hurt. I do not, however, wish to add to what I have already said. If General Alger wants to keep the matter stirred up he can do so I have nothing to add to what I have already said."

With this Senator Sherman dismissed the interviewer, declining to consider General Alger's assertions seriatim.

Not. Guilty oi Betrayal.

LAPOKTE, Ind., Nov. 23.—An effecting scene was witnessed in the circuit court, just before adjournment, last night. Judge Hubbard instructed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty in the case against John Rowe. for betrayal, and the prisoner then affectionately embraced Miss Kolmorgan, who was the supposed plaintiff in the case. The case was brought at the instigation of the girl's parents to prevent her marriage to Rowe. She refused to testify against her lover, and the sequel promises to be their marriage. It is stated that an effort will be made to have Miss Kolmorgan declared of unsound mind, so pronounced is the opposition of her parents to the match.

complete life of General

By Hon. Wm. H. English, of Indiana. Complete in tssa numerous Illustrations. Hon. Wm. H. English, of Indianapolis^

Is certainly deserving of the highest com* mendatlon for his action in withdrawing from public life several years ago In ordes^ to devote himself to the task of writing: at history of Indiana, the introduction ot which is now appearing in two volume® under the title of "CONQUEST OF THE! NORTHWEST. He Iff a millionaire, and it is therefore unreasonable to suppose that his work along historical lines was animated by any spirit of selflshnestf or sordidness. No other man Is so well equipped for the taak he self-imposed. He has been a conspicuous figure in Indiana almost continuously slnoe It was admitted to Statehood. He was secretary! of the Constitutional Convention, and hi» personality Is strongly marked in the organic law as well as in much of subsequent legislation. His great wealth has afforded him opportunities for devoting! his entire attention to literary labor. Hisl Intimacy with public men and State anS Federal officials, has given him exceptional facilities for gaining access to documents necessary to insure thoroughness and exactness in the preparation of his history. After several years of ardent devotion and labor, undertaken in a spirit of State pride and for pure love of it, the publication of "THE OONQUEST OF THE NORTHWEST" will cause him to be kindly remembered as an Indlanlan whose motives have been often mlsconstrued, and whose real worth as a man and citizen has been often ignored bjf unreasonable political bias and human na^ ture's inherent prejudice against men fiff immense wealth.—Lafayette Courier*
