miration of the court. I do not think that I can fairly be subjected to the criticism that I did not allow you the widest latitude In th? presentation if evident that In any way tended to establish the defense made fr you. and you were given the Lenehts of aii presumption whlrh the law says you nre entitled to have. Despite all this, you have bfpn found gutity In accordance with the well-etab'l?hed principles of law and evidence K)ver:::nrr trials of this kind. Tcs.ihiy a large part of this community would, for the ? ike of the reputation of this Kre.it city, upon whom the eyes of the world v.-t-re at th? tlrro riveted, have been comforted if the Verdict of the jury hid ert biLVaed the fact that your act was that of a mentally Irresponsible person, but the result of the trial denies the people that comfort. The evidence did not establish that you were acting under an insane delusion, which irresistibly irnpelW you to the commission of an sct which you did not discern to be wrens and over which you had no: the i-ovvvr to exercise control. The jury has found that wiun you committed the oct you fully understood it and its con?equer.oo3. and that you miht have controlled your actions if you had so willed, and that y v;r own misguided will was the sole impulse to the commission of the deed. So in urinary Inspiration to dj personal vron? r I'T a dv'.usion or belief that some great public benelit will flow from It. when the nature of the act done and Its probable cor.Requf ncc-s, and that the act Is in itself wrong", are known to the actor, can amount to th;it Insanity whl.h in Jaw disarms it of criminality. Situate! as ycu are, I would not say anything to you for the mere purpose of harrowing up your feelings or causing you unnecessary pain. "The solemn and painful duty now devolves upon me to impose the sentence and Judgment of the law, which is that you, Patrick Eugene Prerdergast, between the hours of 1) o'clock in the forenoon and 2 o'clock In the afternoon of the day of March. A. D. 2Vl, in the manner provided by the statute of this State, be hanged by the neck until you are dead." As the jude pronounced the sentence the prisoner moved forward a step or two and then said: "I did not wish to apologize to the court, for I think I did my duty." As he concluded he was led away to hi3 cell In the jail by the bailiffs. Just before Judge Ilrentano began the dolivery of his speech denying1 the motion for a new trial, attorney a S. Gregory filed a motion In arrest of judgment, which was overruled. Ho then asked for thirty days In which to file a bill of exceptions upon which try takj the cas to the Supreme Court. This was granted. Prerdergast was Fentenced to hang, subsequently, in less than thirty days. It was stated, however, that if it became necessary the court could extend the time and fix a new date for the execution. It i probable that the bill of exceptions will be Hied within ten days. Durir.g his speech Prenuergast mumbled, hi3 wonis so that he could scarcely be understood, and he was unsteady on his feet and swerved from side to side like a drunken man. His voice- was sometimes loud and clear, but often it sank to an Inarticulate grumble. Judge Hrentano was much affected by the awful duty imposed on him. and he seemed to suffer much mentU pain white Prendergast was delivering hl3 speech. Only by great effort did he retain sutlicient control of his emotions to utter the solemn words put Into his mcuth by the law. and it was with trembling voice he finished his address to the condemned man. When the condemned man was taken back to the jail he lost control of himself, and, flying into a passion, broke out in a wild tirade against the court, attorneys. Jailer and the press. At last, completely exhausted, he r!nps!d Into sullen silence end, throwing himself on ht3 cct, refused to touch the dinner brought to him and would speak to no one. "Uuff" Iligglns js under sentence of death for th? murder of Peter-McCooey. and the date of his hanging Is the same as that of Prendergast. If a stay of proceedings Is' not ordered the men will be hanged at the Eame time. "Oh. It was Just as' I expected It would be." said John Prendergast, brother of the assassin, after hearing" the court's decision. 'Courts don't generally reverse their own decisions. I felt so certain that my brother would bo sentenced that I told mother to remain at home. Hut it Is merely a temporary embarrassment. Kugene is clearly "Insane, and I think his rambling" remarks to tho court will satisfy any doubt that has existed. He will rant in that manner until the day of his death. This is but a part of the plan to send this poor Insane man to the gallows bause public clamor "demand 3 his death. He expected, the sentence, too, for he spent his time this mornIns: preparing notes for his talk. I tried to converse with him in jail, but he refused to talk with me. I think he blames me 'somewhat for getting the attorneys to put In a plea of Insanity. He did not seem to understand that this was the only plea that h could put In. My brother's denunciation of his attorneys for not defending him and following the i.lea of lustifieation shoV3 that he is Insane. The Sutreme Court will not permit that boy to be hanged." Prendergast grew surlier as the day advanced after receiving his sentence. Tonight when a reporter culled at the jail and asked if he had anything to say regarding his sentence he replied. "Xo; not to reporters. No man is safe from vilification, abuse and personal attack from the newspa Ters." Thomas Illgins, sentenced to bo hansred March 23 next with Prendergast. was disgusted when he learned the new. "I have a notion to commit suicide," said Hlggins. "Won't we be two peaches, standing nr to be dropned together," he continued with a grin. "Say, wlien it comes my turn to shuffle ofT I want to be hanged with Irish hemp, and I also want a green shroud." went on the prlsorer. "ilut I draw the line on being rompeiled to pass out with Prendergast. Somehow or another I cannot nnTrciat that fellow's greatness. Perhaps I am obtuse. Anyway, if I am allowed any voice In the matter T shall not line un on the scaffold with the man who killed Carter Harrison."

WING CALLKIJ TO OHDHR. Tuthill AVonli! Xot Let ComrMIii' Attorney Helled on a Brother Jndjge. CHICAGO, Ib. 21. Ex-Judge Wing b?gan the closing arsumeni for the defense In the Coughlin trial to-day. The court room was thronged with spectators and the ad'Jress was a notable one. Judgo Wing viciously attacked the methods of the prosecution, and, referring to the Incident of the former trial when ex-StaU' Attorney l.ongenecker call! Mrs. Thomas Whalcn up at midnight for a severe examination, rai l that Whalen should have shot the oKlcial down In his tracks. During the afternoon somewhat of a, senEation was created when Judge Tuthill sharply cnJied attorney Wing to order for reflections on the original trial court. It was in reference to Martin Hurke, one of those convicted with Coughlin. and who died in the pvnitentlary last year. Attorney Wing, speaking of him, raid: "Gentiemcn. Martin Hurke was murdered. I should hate to Le chargnl by the great Judge cf all with the murder of that man. as are the men who trlr-d and convicted him." "I don't think you are entitled to say that. Judge Wing." broke in the court, stopping, the Hood t.f the attorney's wrathful eloquence. "Those men were tri.l nn l convicted .according to the laws of this country, and I c-unu t sit here and have the rulins of my brother judge condemned in thia way." Judge Wing, though surprised at the interruption of the court, replird quickly: "Put. your lienor, th Supreme Court of the tate reversed tiu decision under which OVuliivan and Hurke died in prison." "I know that." said Judge Tuthill. "hut then. are many such Instances as that. The Supreme Court held that there was error In the.record. and that's all there was to It. The case was tried by Judge MeConnell fairly nnl honestly, according to his ideas cf the law, and you have no rlvht to question th integrity of tlr court." "Put." said Wing, "will your Honor hold that Martin liurke has pleaded irullty in thU case, es Mr. Simian has contended?" "Xo. I have nothing to say about that," replied the court. "Xo." repeated the attorney. "Whether Martin Purk - stands before you guilty or not Is neither here nor there. We ask von to decide whether or not Daniel Coughlin Ls guilty. Martin IJurke has gone where you ctnnot help him. Patrick O'Sulllvan has gone where yoiw cannot help him." Mr. Wing then resumed his argument, and bad not concluded when court adjourned.

FUN. FOR TRAVELERS

Transcontinental Linos Slashing Kates to California. Dr. Fonl Appointed Cliief Surgeon of the 151c: Four System The Ueduced Grain Tariffs. CHICAGO. Feb. 21 To the outsider it looks to-night as though extremely lowrates for passengers would be the featur3 ere long in transcontinental circles. The continuation of the rtcry of the war of the "via Rarsiow" rates i3 simply this, that the Southern Pacific says "no" and the Atchison, Tcpeka & Santa Fe proposes to meet this with an ultimatum declaring that Its rate from Chicago to Lo3 Angeles will bo kept at $13 less than the direct rate to San Francisco. This, of course, will give the result the Atchison desires, namely, of giving passengers by their route the benefit of the short line rate to San Francisco by paying the $13 local rate from Los Angeles to San Francisco. This reduced rale by the Atchison goes Into effect March 1, and is expected to cause serious trouble, as the lines ticketing via Ogden will be compelled to make a like reduction In their rate to Los Angeles or be prepared to lose the southern California business, which, at this season of the year, is no inconsiderable feature. In connection with the expected war of rates. General Passenger Agent Goodman of the Southern Pacific, to-day Issued a circular to connecting lines la which he says. In part, that several months apo the Atchison and the Southern lV.cldc entered Into ?n aorre'-mnt giving the former the privilege, subject to thirty days notice, of discontinuance, subsequently changed to ninety days, of routing via IJarstow and lsc..i Angeles to and from San Francisco." Pursuant to agreement the Southern Pacific gave notice on Nov. J of a desire to annul the agreement on March 1. Under the agreement the Southern Pacific claims for itself an'd Its connections at Ogden and Portland the reciprocal right to ticket at the through rate by direct lines from Chicago to Los Angeles through S-.n Francisco and vice versa. "This." says Mr. Oiodnan. "the A., T. & S. F. denies, and threatens. If such right is exercised, that it will reduce the through rates over direct lines by th amount of value of side ride between Lathrop and San Francisco. The f-outhern Pacilic can see no p.cl reason whv th? San Francisco passenger may, without extra charge, visit Ijos Angeles en route to Eastern States, while the privilege of visiting San Francisco en route to Eastern Slates ls denied to Los Angeles passengers without additional expense, nor why the A., T. & i). F. nrcy give Its passengers the privilege of visiting- Ios Angeles en route to San Francisco, while the railroad companies working via Ogden are denied the right of giving their pas3nsrers the privilege of visiting San Francisco en route t- T os Angeles except at an additional QOSt." Dr. Ford'n Promotion. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WAIJASII, Ind., Feb. 24. Yesterday afternoon at Cincinnati Dr. J. II. Ford, of this city, for several years chief surgeon of the Cincinnati, ' Wabash & Michigan railroad, and at present surgeon of the Big Four and Wabash railroads at this point, was appointed chief surgeon of the entire Pig Four system, together with the Peoria & Eastern lines, the total mileage being 2.70). President Ingalls has had, the matter under advl3ement for some time, the plan being to organize a hospital system on the Pig Four systems. It is the Intention, when the scheme is perfected to establish a large central hospital at Indlananpolis for the divisions centering there, and to open a division hospital for each of the other divisions. This plan, however, is only in embryo and will not be developed for several months, even if everything is favorable. Dr. Ford enjoys a good salary, however, a chief surgeon, a position he will hold whether the hospital scheme be operative or not. All local surgeons on the system will be Instructed In the circular issued next Monday to report to him, hU headquarters being in this city. The new chief surgeon Is forty-live ?i?arST,of ,a?e and has here all his life. He is a fine pathologist, a popular gentleman and is Just the man to make a success of the great innovation determined upon by the Big Four management. . Protest of Traveling Men. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21. On the approval of the national directors of the Travelers' Protective Association of America, President Lee has sent to Chairman Aldrlch. of the national legislative committee, a letter protesting against the proposed action of the Uestern Passenger Association to discontinue the sale of mlleac-r tickrt n.t n v.ar5o of i cents per mile and to advance the price to Zxt cents. This 13 declared to bp n die,. crimination against commercial travelers anu ineir employers. The letter concluded as follows: "if the present proposition to advance mileage to cents to commercial travelers is approved I desire that you pnpare to proceed against the Western Passenger A.-ooiation urder the anu-poollng law of the State of Illinois, a3 the members of this association and commerciil travelers will no donger submit to such impositions." "OUIc-IjiI Xloutefc" to I3e Abolished. CHICAGO, Teb. .-OnielrJ routes are to be abolished in connection with excursion business for which reduced rat?3 are made over the Western roads. Heretofore there has always been ascramble among the cximP?tin: roods to get hold of the managing eillelah of any excursion party and have them declare some particular road the otiiti.U route fcr the excursion in question. Till gave that road a. d ci-.ied aivaoiage on the entire business and the adventge was frequently paid lor In some way calculated to demoralize rates. It has now been decided that to stop this abuse of privilege that one fundamental condition cn which reduced rates are granted "sha-l be that no road shad be dte'ared the clric'.al route for any such excursion, but that all will bu given a fair show In competing for the business. H educed (ruin Rates. CHICAGO, Feb. 21. The reduced! grain rates will be put into effect by all Eastern lines next Tuesday. The reductions apply not only to grain but alo to grain products. The Idea that the reduction- could be confined solely to terminal potut3 proved t be it futile cne, and the regular proportionate reductions will Le made to interior points. The war on grain rates will undoubtedly have an effect on provisions within a short time. Rates on those ccmrnoiVtiea are already being cut by some lines and a general smash is looked for. soon. Tnlcen I'nder Advisement. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21. The argument In the application of th?

HARD-HEARTED PREACHERS. Refused to Officiate at an Actress's Funeral Because She Committed Suicide. NEW YORK, Feb. 21. The body of May Brooklyn, who committed suicide in San Francisco last week, arrived in the city to-day. It was taken in charge by an un[der]taker, who removed it to his shop and prepared it for burial. It was then taken to the rooms of the Actors' Fund, at No. 12 West Twenty-eighth street, where it was viewed by many members of the theatrical profession who had known the unfortunate woman in life, and had gathered to pay the last sad rites to her memory. Secretary Gurney, of the fund, devoted much time to finding some clergyman who would officiate. He met with the greatest difficulty, as many of the reverend gentlemen refused to act, giving as their reason that the woman had died by her own hand. Finally a minister living in Brooklyn was procured. The funeral cortege left the city this afternoon for the cemetery of the Evergreens, where the body was interred in the plot belonging to the fund, after a short service. NORMAN MUNRO DEAD The Well-Known Publisher a Victim of His Own Mistake. Imagined He Had Appendicitis, an Operation Was Performed and "Heart Failure" Resulted. NEW YORK. Feb. 21.

Mr. Munro complained of a soreness In the right sida early in the week and suspected that he had appendicitis.

Mr. Munro became interested inhe subject of appendicitis and decided to have the appendix removed. The patient was put under tiie influence of ether on Friday and the operation was performed. No foreign subs ia nee was found in the appendix of the patient, or in that of his son. There was only a gangrenous lnlbmrnalion of the appendix. Mr. Munro recovered from the clfect.i of the etner and conversed with his r-hvi.-'ar:s half an hour after the operation. He seemed confident that he would pull through just as his son had done. During the night and early morning his condition grew rapidly worse. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon Dr. Abbe said the end wa3 looked for any moment, ins iamny w;s present when he died. Death was attributed to heart failure. The deo.ised was born In Millbrooii, .ova Scotia, fifty-one years ago. He came to New York when twenty-five years ' of age, obtained employment as a clerk and saved his money. In with his brother George, he began the publication of the Family Story Faper.

All Faris Is talking of the sensational debut of Jane Harding, whose selection by Director CarvaJho to succeed Sybil Sanderson as Phryme in M. de Saint-Saens's opera of that name, caused much surprise. The debut of Jane Harding attracted a large audience, although the debutante has been better known as a leader among the demimonde than an operatic star. Directly Mile. Harding appeared on the stage there was a stcrm of whistling, hisses and cat-calls. This outburst was followed by a shower of dead rabbits, fish, cabbages, eggs, etc. A gentleman In the stalls and a lady in one of the stage boxes were especially active in bombarding Mile. Harding. The lady had a perfect arsenal of such missiles as those described, and at tne end of the lirst act pressed through a crowd of Indignant people and exclaimed: "Jane Harding robbed me of my husband and spent my fortune. Nobody shall prevent me from hissing her off the stage." In spite of the discouraging reception which sae had met with, .Mile. Harding, who declared that it was the work of about fifteen hostile persons, reappeared and has been highly praised by the liberettist of the opera.

The case of Mrs. John Ulddulph Martin, formerly Victoria Woodhull, against the trustees of the British museum, was continued in the High Court of Justice this morning. Sir Charles Russell, the Attorney-general, renewed his cross-examination of Mrs. Martin. Sir Charles asked the witness a number of questions In regard' to "the Beccher-Tilton trial and questioned Mrs. Martin as to the truth of the story published in the Woodhull-Claflin Journal to the effect 'that Rev. Henry Ward Ileecher dropped on his knees before her as she was seated on a sofa, took her face between his hands and Implored her to let him off. Mrs. Martin did not give a direct answer to this question, but said that it required a good deal of explanation. Sir Charles Russell persisted in his question, and, finally, Mrs. Martin said that the scene had not occurred, so far as she personally wns concerned, "but," she added, "if the Ileecher scandal U to be continually introduced in this way, it 13 unfair to me and unfair to history." (Laughter.) Considerable amusement was caused throughout the examination and cross-ex-aminattori of - Mrsi --lartin by the smart answers which she frequently gave to counsel. But Mrs. Martin va3 perfectly cool and collected and Insisted upon making elaborate replies which,- were often disconcerting even to such a distinguished cro?sexaminer as Sir Charles Russell. Kventually, Sir Charles took up a book containing extracts from the 'speeches of Mrs. Martin, a book for which Mrs. Martin had written a preface, and asked her: "Can you point out a single sentence which repudiates, before isSl, the filthy passages in Woodhull's Weekly, of Nov. 2, ISTii?" "Allow mo to state how that work cams to be done," answered Mrs. Martin, beginning a long explanation. After her cross-examination Mrs. Martin was re-examined at length, repeating the story of her life, her high aims and ideas. Mrs. Martin, during the course of her examination, said that she never knew a publisher named Branker, of New York, and added that she did, not believe that such a person existed. Continuing, the witness said that she had never been in the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's house. Mr. John Blddulph Martin, husband of the plaintiff, was the next witness and, after his testlmorty had been taken. Sir Chailes Russell began his speech for the defense. Eventually the case was adjourned until Monday. "Wales xuid His Family In Pnbllc. LONDON. Feb. 24.

BOXED FOR THE POOR Exponents of the Manly Art Help Swell a Bread Fund. Corbett and Mitchell Display Their Pugilistic Skill in a Harmless Way . and Are Wildly Cheered. NEW YORK, Feb. 21. It was known that James J. Corbett would not be' at the Madison-square Garden until nearly midnight because he had to appear in "Gentleman Jack" In Harlem, but there was nevertheless a crowd of people around the doors soon after dark this evening who wanted to see the champion fighter and give him one more greeting. This wdsh was enhanced by the knowledge that James J. was to put up his hands at the same time that Charley Mitchell presented his in a scene that was, according to the management's promise, to be a reproduction of surroundings in a certain recent event at Jacksonville. The show had been arranged by a local newrpaper to augment Its free bread fund. The programme included several boxing bouts. At 8 o'clock the his arena held nearly 5,000 persons. All the "regular" sports were there. Muldoon and Roeber wrestled in Graeco-Roman style for ten minutes without scoring a fall. The next event was a catch-as-catch-can wrestle between Hugh Leonard and Professor McFadden. Leonard was the aggressor and the cleverer. He had the St. Louis man aloft several times, but he could not accomplish a fail within the ten minutes' limit. A period cf intense disgust followed when the middle weights, Frank Craig, the "Harlem Coffee Cooler," and Jim Foley did three rounds in gymnasium practice style. Another displav of friendliness was made by Tommy Kelly, the "Harlem Spider." and Dolly Lyons. 115-pounder, for two rounds, and the onlookers made more remarks of disapproval. Bill and Jack Slav in, brothers of Frank Slavin, came on next, but they hardly touched each other. Two 105-pound New York lads. Jack Levy and Casper Leon, went through their tiresome rounds, and then the kangaroo did his act with Tully. There was laughter over this, if nothing else. A good go was looked for when Tommy Ryan, of Chioacro, the champion welter weight, and Billy Vernon, the Haverstraw (N. Y.) light weight, were announced. Both are clever men, and they did some fair work while the set-to lasted. Ryan had the better of the touching in the total, but in Justice to Vernon it should be said that he sparred with a broken left thumb. Duncan C. Ross, in armor clad, en5raged in a broad-sword combat with F. Coctellano, of Brooklyn. Prof. Searlimi, the Italian, having failed to show up. Ross easily scored live lxdy blows in succession. Then it was announced that Dan Creedon, the Australian middle-weight, could not come to spar Billy McCarty, also of Australia, because he had an engagement to fight In Boston Tuesday night, and had caught a cold. , George Dixon got a rousing reception when he was introduced to spar Eddie Loeber, of Brooklyn. They created the first rousing enthusiasm of the night. Loeber looked scared and acted similarly when he took the center, but after a bit took eourags and hit the feather-weight champion of the world a couple of times, and the mob at once lost Its head. Loeb?r was cheered an1 was told to go In in vigorous tone3. And he did try in the second round and got more cheers. In the third round four arms were moving incessantly during all the three minutes and six thousand tongues urged the Brooklyn boy on. Loeber did very well, but when the round was over he was breathing hard. Dixon retired to his corner easily and smiling. But the shouters were happy. Young Griffo, the Australian, was Introduced as an opponent to Jerry Barnett, of this city. Barnett did not show up and Griff o offered to meet any one within six pounds of hi3 weight. He did not say what that weight was, but he looked like a 1C0pound man. Then he said he would fight any feather weight in the world for $10,000 a side. It should be mentioned that In Australia feather weights run up to 143 pounds. George Dixon was sitting by when Griffo had his say, but retired to the dressing ro"m without repaying. Corbett, in a pink shirt, white knlckerbockrs and blue stockings, now mounted the Btage, and the crowd received him royrjiy, but no more cordially than they did Mitchell, who followed. When the men were Introduced they were again cheered about equally, and John Kelly, the Jacksonville referee, and "Snapper" Garrison, the tlrnekec?per, -also came In for a whack of the a.nrdause. A speech was rnanv times dej manded from the champion, but Jim would only bow. The men sparred four frierdlv and short rounds, during which Mitchell was scarcely able to touch Corbett, except at close quarters. The Englishman was repeatedlv advised to "get an ax," but things went off smoothly. Between tne rounds announcer Burns yelled out that Walter Campbell, the Philadelphia loC-pound champion, had oiTered to spar young Griffo and would bet $h0 that he weighed no more than Griffo. The Australian said that he had no money to bet. It was also announced that FUzsimmons had challenged Peter Jackson, and that Parson Da vies had replied thnt he would match Joe Choynskl agaln3t Fitzsimmons for J5.0U0 or against Denver Ed Smith for the same amount. After that the big house, which had yielded $5,C0O to the end desired, dissolved. FALSE AS J1ELL ITSELF." Frof. Christie Quite Emphatic in Denouncing the Report cf His Death. WICHITA. Kan., Feb. 24.

WHITE CITY DOOMED;

Fire Kujrs Seem Determined to Leave No Structure Untouched. Another Disastrous IUazo in the Acri cultural liuihiing Roof, Dome and Statuary Destroyed.' CHICAGO, Feb. 24. Fire was discovered In the roof of the Agricultural Ruildlng at the world's fair grounds this morning. The flames soon spread to all parts of the roof. Special alarms called engines from Hyde Park, Woodlawn and other suburbs. Running up the outside of the pillars, the flames gained headway in the roof and spread rapidly towards the dome In the center. Once having a start In the lofty arch. Its destruction was a matter of short order. Driven by a brisk wind, sparks from the burning dome were carried toward adjoining buildings, and for a time the firemen had before them the rxosict of an extended conflagration. The firemen were distributed, however, and while sev eral companies were working vigorously in an attempt to stay the lire in the Agricultural RdUding others were detailed to adjoining structures, and volumes of water were directed towards exposed and endangered parts. An hour after the general alarm was sounded the firemen had accomplished all that was possible, and the blaze was practically extinguished. Before the firemen had succeeded in their work, however, the buildir g had been ruined. As the lire spread through the dry timbers of the roof burning embers soon began dropping to the floor, and the supports, graduai.v weakened, at last gave way, carrying with them connected parts of the roof of the dome, which fell In ruins to the floor. The fall practically put an end to the firemen's work. Small patches of flames still were visible around the ragged edges of the roof, but floods of water directed against them soon drowned out all danger of a spread of the fire. The destruction of the dome left the already partially ruined building even more unsightly, and it now bears little resemblance to the ornate structure,surmounted by the statue of Diana, which formed a feature of the court of honor. The gilded statue was removed six weeks ago, and so escaped destruction. But one theory was advanced on the grounds regarding the origin of the fire. Everyone agreed that an Incendiary was again responsible for the destruction. The repeated attempts to burn the fair buildings have been ascribed to this cause, and the conclusion was promptly reached that to-day's ruin could be safely attributed to the same cause. Crowds of people flocked to the scene and watched the fire for hours. With the exception of the Peristyle fire that of to-day was the worst the fair has had since it closed, and sjectators found a great deal to interest them. Near the dome of the building wers numerous groups of statuary looking In the grand badn. As the flames burned away their supports the gigantic figures tottered and fell into the fiery pit beiow. Some of the groups fell away front the fire and were dashed to pieces on the frozen ground. Arms, legs, and heads of the fallen sculpture littered the promenade nearly to the edge of the lagoon. The Agricultural Building, which, axchltecturallv, was one of the gems of the White City group, cost. In construction. 31?,0'O. Its exterior, with Its massive Corinthian columns, was most artistic. It covered an area of eight hundred feet long and five hundred feet wide. Its floor space was nearly nineteen acres. A great deal of money wa3 lavished In decoration and the walls of the building were spread with allegorical pictures by rorr.e of the leading artists of the country. -The ruin of the building 13 almost complete, and nothing but blackened walls anJ the shattered roof remain of the once beautiful structure. Other Fires. PITTSRURG, Feb. 24. McDonald, Pa., an oil town, eight miles south of here, was visited this morning by a tire whieh destroyed thirteen business structures in th center of the town.
