Justice Overton this morning Impaneled
a jury of inquest to investigate the cause of
the fire, and Dr. M. Lillard being put upon
the stand testified that he is here to attend
to bis mother, who is very sick: that he sat
up with her last night; that becoming very
sleepy he walked out; to get the fresh air,
and was attracted by a light
shining through the front side door of the
aald building; that upon going there he saw
a man get up from behind the counter where
the fire was burnlog; that he recognized
this man as Joseph Lewine of Waoo, Tex.;
that be ran to the Mills hotel aud gave the
alarm of fire, and that as he ran back to
ward the building he saw the said Joseph
Lewine come out of said building and ran
across the street.
The jury of inquest, after having heard
all the evidence, returned the following
verdict: We, the jury, find that the fire,
which on the morning of December 20,1837,
bnrned the Sturgls National bank building
and the two buildings owned by the Siurgls
estate, was wilfully and designedly caused
by Joseph Lewine setting fire to them.

Fort Worth, Tex., December 20.—Ju9t
before 2 o'clock this morning fire broke out
In a passenger coach belonging to the Cea-
tral railway, which was standing on a side

London, December 20.—The Sportsman
says the contest between Smith and Kllrain
was more of a wrestling match than prize
fight.
thet must finish.
New York, Deoember 20.—Richard k.
Fox this morning sent the following mes-
sage in regard to the Bmlth-Kilraia fight:
"To Geo. W. Atkinson, [referee of the Kll-
rain Smith fight and editor of the Sport-
ing Life, London: The fight must be fin-
ished. If Smith refuses I shall claim the
belt for the world's championship and the
stakes for Kllrain."
This cablegram was sent to bis repre-
sentative, William E. Harding: "A draw
won't do. The men must meet to finish. If
Smith refuses, shall claim the belt for the
world's championship and the stakes for
Kllrain. Am willing to back Jack against
John L. Sullivan after this is settled for
from $5000 to $10,000 and the belt."
To these dispatches Mr. Fox expecti an-
swers to-night. He thinks that Smith's
backers are afraid to put their money on
him now since they have seen the punish
meet he received, but whether Smith will
agree to finish the fight Is uncertain. Mr.
Fox would rather tho men should meet
again and settle matters, so that in the
fight with Sullivan Kllrain could enter the
ring with a clean title to the world's cham-
pionship.
"All that is to be feared now," Mr. Fjx
says, "ia that Sullivan will not fight; but I
have stipulated that the fight tako place
either in America or Mexico. I have done
enough for England and English sporting
men and the piess, and it is bat rii?tit I
should now do something for the American
press. Should there be an acceptance of
the challenge to meet Kllrain. I shall stlpa
late only that in addition to location the
baltle be fought within six months, and I
think Jake can whip him."

SNOW-BOUND.
Snow Impedes the Passage of Trains from
Kansas City and Other Piace&—Bitter
Blizzards Sweeping that Section.
Kansas City, Mo., December 20.—The
snow which began falling here list night
continued until the rapidly falling temper-
ature checked it this morniog. The mer-
cury tonight is hoveling about the zsro
point, and the snow on a level averages
six Inches ia depth. All the rail-
roads are seriously impeded. The worst
sufferers are the Southern Kansas aud
Kansas City, Fort Scott aud Gulf lines.
Their territory has not been iuterrup'ei
with heavy snows for so long that they
were not prepared for the blizzard. Tue
Gulf trains were six hoars late, wttiio none
of to day's Southern Kansas trains have
arrived. The snow in Colorado
has prevented this morning's Union
Pacific train from Denver from arriving,
but the snow plows of that road are already
at work and they hope to be all right la a
few c'aye. The outward bound trains ou
tho Burlington and Missouri railroad were
abandoned, and nearly all outgoing trains
were delayed from twenty minutes to two
hours in starting. A telegram to-night
from Geuda Spring*, Kan., near the In-
dian Teiritory, says the blizzard there has
completely stepped railroad traffic. Tfle
snow Is not general in this vicinity; bat
from Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and

gcs8ip ABOUT JAY GOULD.
Ec Is Becoming Eeligious—The Bonvanco ol
His First Love.
Did you know that Jay Gould had become
religious?
He has—to a moderate degree, at any
rste—and he has been seen a good deal at
the little church near his country place,
though for years, I understand, he never
went icto a church.
Hie change of heart, I believe, was due to
tie influence of his wife—a sweet, soulfal
and deeply religious woman. Ills daugator
Helen is a lovoly woman, full of kladly
feelings, and Is a member of the humiaUy
society, called the Daughters of the King.
The society has for its purpose the aewtn-
pMehment of all the good pjaslbls tor
women everywhere. Rich and poor are
one within Its told. The grand society is
divided into bands of ten, and it Is tho aim
of each rnemoer to establish another ten.
Both Mrs. Gould and Miss Helen Gould,
on their own part, were influenced bo in-
terest themselves in the welfare of humani-
ty by Mrs. Russell Sage, who is an ardent
churchwoman.
Now, again, I should like you to see that
mild-looking, rather petite but dlgnided
woman who is ,iust passing my window.
She muBo have been quite pretty in her
youtb, though Ehe never probably could
have been called handsome. There is a
certain something, however, about her—a
sweetness in her looks and manner—that is
more charming in a woaian of her years
than any remains of physical beauty would
be. She is very simply attired In black,
end a black bonnet modestly covers her
e liver gray hair.
Who is she?
She is Jay Gould'a sister. She has come
over liom her hojne in Camden—a quiet
little town across the rlv3r—to do some
i-boppirg probably. One often meets her
in tne business streets; but, as her identity
Is known to few, she escapes the ogling aud
(.onaett that she would otherwise be
^objected to. 8be is not rich, by any meaus.
Indeed, asioe from a moderate allowance
thai the speculating Cio'sus makes her, she
derives her living from a school for girls
tbet ber dacghters conduct. The school,
l~e it said, is an excellent one, and, Goald?'
like, It geis the cteam of the business in
south Jertey.
The school house was erected at Jay
Gould's expente. Jav knew that hi= sister
had tot matlied well from a financial point
cf view, bnd that her daughters were stru.?
pllrg for a iivinp, btt he was too busy
piling up bis millions to give the matter
mnch personal attention. Bat his wife had
her eje on the girls, and was so pleased
wilh their earnestness that she brought the
matter lo the attention of ber husband, and
ineletcd on his at least building the girls a
school. Gould did not object, and, now
that bis attention was directed to the mat-
ter, he gave ordors that no expense should
be spared in making the building a model
one in every respect He himself takes as
much pride in it and ia tho success ot his
nieces as any one. whenever he permits
himself the luxury of five minutes's thought
ou a subject so far removed from stocks
and bones.
His sister and the girls were spending
part cf the summer up at Plattsburg, N.Y.,
with Jay Gould's first love, who keeps a
hoarding house up there. She is elderly
and gray-haired now, and is not strikingly
handsome, bnt in her day Bhe was blithe-
seme and pretty. Bhe was the daughter of
a country storekeeper. Jay Gould, after
leaving his father's farm, went to work in
the store, and promptly felt In lovo with
the rosy cheeked maiden. But the old man
tad much higher views of his daughter's
future than marriage with a young man
employed in his own shop would realize.
He not only gave young Gould to under-
stand that a marriage was out of the
question, bnt dispensed with his ser-
vices as well. Jay took his rejection
philosophically enough, and gave htm
self up to the work of making a fortune.
While he whs growing richer and richer,
and piling millions on millions, his old love
was vainly striving to battle with misfor-
tune. Her father, who had plumed himself
so proudly on the ownership of his "gen-
eral store," failed; the husband whom she
took after Jay Gould had gone away
brought little to her, and so at the end she
endeavors to eke out her income by open
ing ber house to summer boarders. She
has a wondrous amount of philosophy in
her make-up, and very little envy, tine is
bright, good-natured and content with what
fo- nee has brotight—or, ought one to say
left—her. Some of Jay Gould's relatives
spend a few weeks at her farmhonoe every
■jear, but Jay himself never goes. [Chicago

the Police.
Chicago, 111., December 20.—The first
meeting of the Hay market committee wts
held to day, and it was decided to stop
the inflow of money, as the $7000 on hand
was deemed ample to erect a suitable me-
morial of the heroism of the police. It is
probable the monument will not be located

BEMABKS BY BILL HYB.
Tne Annoyances Whicli Follow the Turning
loose of a Menagerie.
The late combined menagerie and holo-
caust at Bridgeport, Conn., under the man-
agement of Phineas T. Barnutn aad the fire
fiend biings to mlad the zoological paaic
near St. Louis about the last day of October
of the present year, and which, of cinrse, is
still fresh in the memory of those who tried
to recapture some ot tho animals.
On that date, owing to a misplaced switch
and the misplaced confidence of the engin-
eer, old John Robinson's great aggregation
of modesty and menagerie was thrown from
the track quicker than the proprietor coald
pronounce bis own name. As Boon as the
cars were derailed cages began to open up
like an insulted hornet's nest and to yield
up various kinds of animals not indigenous
to Illinois.
Tigers with long, limber tails and moath3
that opened likeaied plush>eservedjseat
lit lightly oij the trembling earth, deftly
cracked their heels together two times lu
rapid succession and then moved BOftly
away towards the primary schools ot 8t
Louis. Jaguars bonnded out of their burst
ing cages and proceeded to take In the
town. The scene beggared descrlpSon,
Pale women who. as a general thing, coald
not carry In a hod of coal for tholr poor,
sick husbands, slid casually up a freight
car, followed by fleecy clouds of embrold-
eiy or shook their parasolsjat the Natnidian
Hon and told him to go right away from
there.
Nine cages of animals were shuttered a1;
once, and these denizens of the forest for
the first time in many years felt tho baauti
ful earth beneath their feet and breathed
the redolent air of St. Louis.
A magnificent leopard oozed oat of his
shattered cage, like a spray of macaroal
emerging from tne mustache of an anarch-
ist, and softly went upstairs to the railroai
effices to see about getting a pass, bat did
not find any one in. Oa the door he found
a line written hastily by Mr. Gill and
pinned up. It stated as follows:
"Gone to Siberia. Will be back In a few
minutes "
The leopard wont la and tried to tele-
phone to Iidianapolls for a sleeper, but as
soon as his hot breath struck the tiaii-iiii'.t-
ter the girl at the central office went and
concealed heiself in the store of a man wh-j
did not advertise.
When the train pulled out It was shirt
one gnu, oae leopard, one hyena, one dapr,
one ibex, one coyote, six monkeys and tV)
black tigers. A moantatn lion escaped, bit
was recaptured afterward. Mr. Tho a is
Riley of New Haven, Conn., is still sujrt
one lobe ot himself, which be attributes to
the mountain Hon. Mr. Riley stum Mod
while twisting the tail of the Hon to iulicj
him to go Into bis cage, and lnadverten .ly
sat down in the open mouth of the lo v,
coarse brute. He thinks the railroad com-
panies win be liable.
Mr. Josepn Charles was on his way down
the stairs when he met the lion coming up.
The stairway is not very wide, and Mr.
CharleB can not bear the idea of giving a
dumb animal needless pain, so he went
back to the superintendent's office about
three-quarters of an inch ahead of the lion.
Mr. Cnarles shut tbe door and locked It
just in time to prevent a scene. The fero-
cious beast climbed up and looked through
a transom at Mr. Cnarles nud the otter
clerks with a keeu, searcnicg glaace. Ujc
of the clerks bad tbe presence o( mind to
ring for a me.w-Bger boy to come and re-
move the noj, but there was some delav
about communicating with the boy whei
fce came, and so peace was not restored
tiLtll lie clrcuB employes cam-) upstairs
and captured tbe Hon in a tarpaulin.
For several days, according to reports,
people who lived around there were ltabU
toiallovtr a black tiger in the front hall,
or to be shocked by tho latest gnus. Farm
* rs found Ivetas in the hen-house, or were
met t-y beleted jaguars coming home with a
jag in. Monkeys found their way iato
tones of f.tiluetce, and nervous womeu re
quired their husbands to get up in the night
m their bare feet to eearoh for vampires
and boa constrictors.
It is a dieagreeablo thing to have a circa?
and menagerie turned loose In a town, and
nothing will make a man decide qaicker to
tane his itinch down town, than to corns
home and find a Bengal tiger on his froit
door step. No one enjoys watching the
banpbty fneer of a rhinoceros, or listening
to the carol of a cagefnl of tropical birds,
peacocks and guinea hens bettor thau I do,
but they ought to be made to know their
place. I am also a great admirer of the
elepbanr, having goDe so far as to carry
water to alarge Asiatic elephant for several
hours, asking for no further recompense
than the sweet consciousness of duty wall
done and a ticket to the performance; but
I don't want an elephant to come to my
house, ring the door bell, and expect me to
board him until he can get a new mea-
agerle built for himself.
Before closing, I wish to state that old
John Robinson's circus has not been In aay
way impaired by the catastrophe out west,
but that nower and redder cages will be
Introduced next summer, and that almost
every cage in the parade will contain an
animal of some kind. I desire also to state
tbat the cages will be no further apart in
the procession next year than usual, and
that there will be a choice and moral min-
strel performance after the main show, and
that highly connected but modest young
men will climb over the audience aad refer
to it during the ring performance. I say
this, hoping that, while Mr. Barnum seetns
to almost fill the entire horizon, no one will
lose sight of old John Robinson, whose
speckled horses and long walsted snakes
have done so much toward breaking no our
public schools. [Bill Nye in New York

Lord Randolph Chnrchill has gone to

Tho government has decided to banish

The Speakership.
No speaker of the bonse of representatives
has ever lived west of the Mississippi river.
Rhode Island and Delaware, among the
easte/n states, have naver been honored
wilh tbe speakership, and neither Louisiana
nor Alabama has ever had a speaker. Mr.
Carlisle is now entering upon his third
term as speaker, and when he has completed

slip twenty-three years. New York
has not had a apsaker since

Tonight at Harmony hall Mr. W. C.

stated in these columns, this drama pos-
sesses considerable merit, and would
doubtless prove a valuable piece of prop-
eity to the author in the hands of a first-

by the experience of former productions,

Cotton on the Wharves.
To The News,
Galveston, Tex., December 20.—Reply-
to lie communication of J. Moller & Co. la
jesterday'd News, wo beg to call attention
to the article in Thu News of the 13th
instant, signed Z, which says: "The gen-
tlemen composing the committee (cotton
exchange) have certainly been imposed
upon most outrageously, as a knowledge of
the wharves will satisfy anyone that If
they were full of cotton they would not
hold moie than 15,COO bales." Then In Tait
News of the 15th instant J. Moller & Co.
say: "Tbe facts are they will not
hold 50,000 bales." We contend they
will hold 100,000. Of course we
mean all the wharves fall of
cotton; bnt, as we said before, the wharves
were not built for the storage of cotton, bat
to facilitate tbe loading and discharging of
vessels. Captain Fowler struck tne key
note to the whole situation at yesterday's
meeting of the city council when he said
"there was no occasion for ever having the
wbaives overcrowded except as a result of
the presentprevaUlng custom of piling cot-
ton op the wharves lor ships before they
leave Liverpool," as must certainly have
been the case with the steamship Kallodeu,
wboie cotton was on the wharf from No-
vember 1!) to Sunday, December 18 (which
did not improve the condition of tne cot-
ton), when she commenced to load
it. In my article iu The Nsiws
of the 14th instant I said,
alluding to wharf room: "Thlsdoesnoi In-
clude some thirty acres of levee (solid filled
ground) all accessible by railroad
switches." I did not say accessible by ves-
sels ; j et 100,000 or more bales could be
placed on these levees and trucked by baud
to vesscip, a distance of from 100 to 500 feet,
at a cost of about 5 cents per bale, and it is
frequently trucked tbat distance on the
wbaives. Messrs. Moller & Co. in tbeir
article to day reiterate the statement that
all the wharves will not contain over 50,000
bales, and tbeytbitk only 40,000. &ow to
settle this matter, we accept their propo
sition, allowing five superficial feet to a
bale. Joseph Aiken,
