Omaha, Neb., Jan. 26.—Mrs. F. S.
Murphy, widow of Mayor Murphy, and
the owner of considerable property, was
awakened after midnight last night by a
burglar who commanded her to keep
still. With the utmost coolness she
pulled a revolver from under the pillow
and fired twice, both balls taking effect,
one in the left lung. He escaped, but
was found in a dying condition in a
cheap hotel this morning.

Columbus, O., Jan. 26.—A small blaze
started about 8 o’clock this morning in a
large building on the northwest corner
of Rich and Hill streets and before noon
the entire block from Rich street to
Walnut and from High to Wall had
been gutted by flames. The large pressed
brick building corner of Rich street was
the first to go. The flames soon spread
to the Metropolitan opera house build-
ing, where it caught in the fourth story,
consuming the entire building which
contained H. C. Goodman’s leather store
and shoe factory. In the latter were
employed 200 persons, 132 being girls.
The factory occupied three upper floors.
The spectacle of the girls going down
the fire ladders and escapes with aprons
over their heads was one of the thrilling
episodes that caused the hearts of men
to stand still.
It is reported that Katie Trott jumped
through the window of the first floor,and
broke both limbs. Several girls w’ere
brought out of the burning building in an
unconscious condition, having been pros-
trated from smoke and heat.
A woman appeared at the fourth story
window, and started to descend by the
fire escape, but being confused and blind-
ed by the emoke, returned inside, only to
be seen no more.
The total loss will reach two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars.

“You are riled about something,” said
an Evening Tribune representative to
Mr. James T. Morris, the genial pro-
prietor of the Star restaurant, “what is
it all about?”
“I’ll tell you, but you must not say
anything about it around town. My
customers are all kicking about my oys-
ters. They are so big and fat that no
man, unless he has a mouth as big as
Jim Miller, Knittie or Reppen, can
swallow one without biting it in two.
The truth of the matter is that my oys-
ters this year are the biggest, fattest
and juciest I have ever seen in Galves-
ton.”

Santiago, Jan. 26.—The Chilian gov-
ernment last night cabled its reply to the
ultimatum from the United States. Chili
offers an unequivocal apology, and agrees
to withdraw Matta’s insult, and acknowl-
edges it as an error of judgment. Request
for recall of Minister Egan is also with-
drawn. The Chilian government asks
that the question of indemnity for the
Baltimore outrage be submitted to some
friendly power for arbitration, and if that
is not satisfactory to President Harrison,
to refer the whole matter to the Supreme
Court of the United States. This knocks
the war scare into smithereens.
BLAINE HAS NO ANSWER YET.
Washington, Jan. 26.—Up to
o’clock this morning Secretary Blaine
had not received the answer from Chili
reported in last night’s dispatches from
Santiago. It is expected that it will be
communicated through Minister Montt,
who has not yet called or been heard
from on the subject. The delay is ex-
plicable by the amount of time requisite
to translate the cipher dispatches into
ordinary Spanish and then into English,
and also by the fact of official calls not
commonly made in Washington before
the middle of the day.
FIRST ACTION OF THE HOUSE.
Washington, Jan. 26.—Mr. Breckin-
ridge of Kentucky, in the house this
morning, asked for immediate consider-
ation of the following resolution: “Re-
solved, that the president of the United
States be respectfully requested to in-
form the house whether any answer has
been received either from our minister
to Chili, or from the Chilian govern-
ment, to the despatch sent by the gov-
ernment of the United States of January
21, if so by whom such answer was re-
ceived and at what time, and. that he
will communicate to the house- all cor-
lespondence between the two govern
mente, communicated to confer ence with
message heretofore sent in.”

committee, under whose auspices Gover-
nor St. John visits Texas.
Indigestion. Dizziness,
am’s Pills.
Eillie’a Tears Were Shed for No Valid
Cause.
Chief of Police Jordan was accosted
on Market street the other day by a pre-
possessing and fashionably dressed
young woman, whose eyes were red and
swollen from a night spent in tears and
wailing.
The cause of all her trouble seems to
be that she had on the evening before
received a note from “Frank” inclosing
$15 and saying that when the sun rose
again in the eastern horizon he would be
on his way to California w’ith no inten-
tions of ever returning to her or Galves-
ton.
Between her sobs and tears this much
was gleaned by an Evening Tribune
representative who overheard the con-
versation: that she had written to her
parents in New York that she and Frank
were married ; that he had promised to
marry her <on three separate occasions,
but never fulfilled his promise. Now
she was in d'ire distress and wanted him
arrested and brought back.
The chief advised her to get out a war-
rant, after which he would do all he
could to accommedate her.
At the desk in the clerk’s office fully
an hour was spent in parleying, she
wishing to make the-complaint breach of
promise, which is of a «ivil nature only,
but she finally consented to make it of a
criminal nature, and after doing so went
Later on the intelligence was spread
that “Frank” and “Lillie” were as
happy as ever. He had bnly “tried to
tool her” and had never intended to
skip out. It was a mere game of bluff
gotten up to test her devotion, and in the
parlance of the day, “all’s well that ends
well.”
PERSONAL.
Chief Justice Clayton was called home
last night by telegram, notifying him of
sickness in his family.
County Clerk Wakelee is on the street

“If you think that I have any kick
coming now, you are ’way off,” said
Chief Ernst Wegner of the fire depart-
ment. “ I Kings are coming pretty much

and the old patrol wagon is now in the
hands of Nick Bohn for the purpose o<

She i# Now Entitling in the Mallory Une
Between Now York and the Ijthmui,
Not having observed the Mallory
steamship Concho in this port for some
time, an Evening Tribune reporter
questioned Captain Sawyer, the agent of
the line, what had become of her.
Captain Sawyer stated that she had
been chartered to the Pacific Mail Steam-
ship company for a period of three
months to run on their New York and
Colon line while one of their own steam-
ers was having new machinery put in so
as to come up in speed to the new gov-
ernment standard for subsidized mail
steamers.
The Concho, which has been the pride
of this port ever since her first visit,
and proved herself the fastest sailer in
the Mallory line, fills all the require-
ments for speed, and, not being needed
now that cotton shipments have mate-
rially diminished, she was turned over
to the Pacific mail for temporary service.
A Great Grape Country.
Grape lands equal to any in California
are offered for sale in the Dickinaon
country by F. McC. Nichols, state and
county tax assessor. A vineyard of 5000
vines has already been planted and many
more will follow. The coming years will
see Dickinson the seat of grape culture
and wine making on the Texas coast.

Mr. Alphonse Chimene Made the Victim
of a Cleverly Concocted Plan—They
Buy Furniture Which it Seems They
Did Not Need—Their Check Worthless*
On Saturday evening, January 16, a
well dressed stranger presented himself
at the furniture store of A. Chimene,
2513 Market street, and asked him how
long he would keep his store open. Re-
ceiving an answer, he stated that his ob-
ject was to buy a bill of goods but that
he desired to wait for hia wife who would
be in on the next train from Houston.
The stranger gave his name as R. E.
Spellman, and said that he had just
rented a bouse on the corner of Thirty-
seventh street and Avenue Q.
Having had this preliminary conver-
sation with Mr. Chimene he retired to
meet his wife at the depot, promising to
return with her later in the evening.
It would have been better for the
merchant had they failed to do so and
gone to some other store instead.
About 7 o’clock that evening the hus-
band and wife might have been seen
SELECTING A BILL OF GOODS
which amounted to $63.
Mr. Spellman, turning to his wife,
said: “You had better pay for it right
now,” whereupon she took out of a
pocket book a check on the Houston Na-
tional bank for $95, purported to have
been drawn by James E. McPherson,
and made payable to R. E. Spellman or
order.
The husband then said in an upbraid-
ing manner: “Why didn’t you get it
cashed?”
To which she replied that she was
only too glad to get the check in time to
catch the train for Galveston, to say
nothing about going to the bank with it.
Mr. Chimene uleased at having made
such a good sale politely offered to take
the check and pay the difference of $32
in cash. The check was accordingly in-
dorsed and turned over to him.
The lady suggested that the key to the
house be given to Mr. Chimene, so that
e could get in with the furniture, but to
this the man demurred, saying that it
was just as well to let it remain at the
store till Monday, when he would call
for it.
everything seemed very fair
and Mr. Chimene suspected no crooked-
ness, although had he taken a second
look at the check he might have detected
that it was dated January 15, which was
the day before, and that consequently
rhe woman’s story that she had got it
just in time to catch that evening’s train
was a littlapauzy.
On Monday no one called for the furni-
ture, much to the surprise of Mr. Chi-
mene, who by that time concluded to go
to the corner of Thirty-seventh and Q to
see what the trouble was. There he
found a vacant house sure enough, but
the doors were locked and the sign “For
Rent” was still up.
He next took the check to the Island
Citv Savings bank, with the request that
it be sent to Houston for collection, and
concluded to await developments.
THE NOTE PROTESTED.
These came in the «hape of a protest,
which added about $4 more to his profit
and loss account, the check being pro-
nounced entirely worthless.
It is safe to say that the furniture has
not yet been called for and that it never
will be by the parties who purcha-ed it.
Neither have they shown up since that
evening.
It was a cleverly planned scheme and
succeeded admirably, but Mr. Chimene
says that he would have been just as
willing to cash that check had their pur-
chase not amounted to more than $20,
■<o in that respect they made a mistake
which, however, it is now too late to
rectify.
WOODMEN OF THE WORLD.
Oleander camp, No. 21, Woodmen of
the World, held a meeting last night and

banker; William Trost, escort; Walter
H. Laycock, watchman; George Calvert,

McCormick, H. B. Goodman and J. B.
Walker, managers.
It was decided to give a grand mas-
querade and dress party in the near
future, and a committee of five was ap-
pointed to take preliminary steps in
that direction.
Deputy Sheriff Thompson Killed and |
Two Horse Thieves Captured—A Des-
perate Kunning Fight and Its Results—
The End Not Yet.
Southern Afternoon Press.
Knoxville, Tenn., Jan. 26.—Dis-
patches from Cumberland Gap, Clai-
borne county, says: The body of Deputy
Sheriff Thompson, with a bullet pene-
trating his heart, and the two outlaws
and horse thieves who were captured
yesterday arrived here this morning in
charge of Deputy Williams.
Deputies Williams and Thompson at-
tempted to arrest two men, when a des-
perate running fight occurred, one out-
law being shot from his horse. . After
he fell he took deliberate aim and shot
Thompson, killing him instantly.
Williams afterward captured the wound-
ed outlaw and his pal. The wounded
person is said to be dying.

“What makes you look so blue to-
day?” Was the question put to a man
who had just figured as a witness in the
recorder’s court.
“The little attention shown by Judge
Cavin to my solemn oath,” was the re-
ply-
“How’s that?”
“Didn’t you notice that while he held
up his hand as an indication to me to
follow his example and went on blab-
bering: ‘You do solemnly swear that
the testimony etc’ he never had his eye
on me for a minute, as he should have
had, but at the same time went on writ-
ing something on the docket in an auto-
matic fashion. In fact had he not known
his lesson ' by heart he would not have
known when the time came to stop.
“I watched him in other cases and
found that such was his habit through-
out. That is what I am kicking about
and nothing else.”

“So you are hunting for kicks, are
you?” said a lady who attended the
Presbyterian church on last Sunday
evening, when it was crowded to its
utmost capacity to accommodate the
throng which attended the Y. M. C. A.
exercises. “I’ll tell you of one that I
have coming.”
“Some people, and, in fact, everybody,
has the bad habit of taking a seat at the
end of the pew, thus compelling those
who come in after them to climb over
them, so to speak, to find a seat.
“Common sense, if nothing else,
should teach them to move up, or take a
seat further back, unless they are in the
theater and have specially reserved
seats.”
