The Pittsburg Plate Glass company was
visited with a $110,000 fire at its building
at Third street and Fifth avenue south,
last evening. The stock in the building,
as estimated by H. L. Gray, the local
manager, amounted to about 1150,000, and
this is probably damaged to the extent of
$100,000. The building, which is owned by
Clinton Morrison, was damaged $8,000 or
$10,000 worth. The loss on the building
■was fully covered by insurance, and there
■was from $80,000 to $100,000 insurance on
the slock.
The fire was discovered on the second
floor of the building, in the rear portion,
at about 8 o'clock, but it had obtained a
good start before the department got any
watfr on it.
The fighting of the fire was made un
usually difficult, on account of the fact
that the g-!as>s was set upon edge through.
. out the building, and prevented the fire
men from reaching the«nre with the wa
ter. The fire was, however, finally
drowned out, and the main floor of th*
building was practically saved from In.
Jury except from water.
The building waa a two-story brick
■tructure, with wooden interior construc
tion. The roof was totally destroyed, and
the greater portion of the second flooi-
Was destroyed. The second floor of thfc
building was used by the company for all
Its leaded glass work, and for the stor
age of most of itß fine glass. A large
portion of the plate glass was on the
first floor, but this was rendered prac
tically worthless by the fire, and all the

UP TO THE GOVERNOR.
Testimony Is All In In the Metcalf
Inquiry.
The curtain was rung down yesterday
afternoon in the next to the last act of
the Metcalf investigation. Twenty-five
witnesses" were called, and the case is
now up to the governor, the hearing be
fore the latter being set for Monday,
March 5.
When the hearing was resumed, Victor
Welch, attorney for Mr. Metcalf, called
several witnesses in "sur-rebuttal. J. R.
-Butman, of the Tribune, &nd W. A. Fris
ble, of the Journal, testified to having re
ceived visits from Miss Mueller after her
return from West Superior. The wit
nesses testified they would not deny the
article published in the Times, to the ef
fect that she had left the city to avoid
the scandal in connection with the Zeg
lin deed, for the reason that they had
not copied It in their respective papers.
The correspondence with Miss Mueller
was referred to, and Mr. Metcalf testified
that it was his habit to destroy all per
sonal letters. In referring to a letter
from Miss Mueller from West Superior,
he testified that she wrote she would re
turn to work the next Monday if neces
sary. In reply Metcalf testified that he
had telegraphed her she had better wait
and that he had sent her a letter.
He was then asked if he had requested
her to remain away until after the in
vestigation had been finished, and he in
sisted he had not written her to that ef
fect. He also testified that in the cor
respondence he had not asked her to be
careful on account of his wife and chil
dren. Asked as to his signature to the
letter to Miss Mueller, he admitted that
it was correct, but that he had never
written the words, "your undying
friend," to anybody.
Mr. Metcalf then referred to another
letter written to Miss Mueller. In this
letter he had told her that some "dirty
work" had been done, having reference
to the missing leaf, and that public opin
ion had changed very favorably toward
him. -In this letter he had told her about
the appointment of the commission, and
that she had better take a good rest, as
there was no immedlaje necessity for her
return, but he had not asked her to re-

LACK OF FOOD.
1
Sufferers In Quarantine Said to Be
Facing; Starvation.
Some of the smallpox patients In the
city need food. Since the last meeting
of the board of health, when Dr. Brack
en, of the state board of health, com
plained that Dr. Norton was not enforc
ing the quarantine regulations, every
house where there was a yellow card
has been guarded with the utmost zeal.
So effective has been the siege that
many of the besieged claim that tli«y
are on. the verge of starvation. Pro
visions hjive run out, and It has been
found to be futile to attempt to run
through the line of policemen that sur
round the infected houses. •

blows in the face with the butt end of
a revolver.
A tenement row, at 417 Fourteenth ave
nue southeast, was slightly damaged by
fire in the basement yesterday afternoon.
Some excitement was caused when the
fire was discovered, as a house In the ex

BIG RAILROAD SCHEME.
It Is Being Promoted by Mr. Still
well, of KanN* City.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 17—Arthur
E. Stillwell, promoter and former presi
dent of the Kansas City, Pittßburg &
Gulf Railroad company, is the moving
spiirt in an ambitious railroad scheme
that was announced here today. His
plan contemplates a new international
railway system, 1,800 miles In length,
stretching from Kansas City to the Gulf
of California.
The Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Rail
way company was incorporated in Kansas
today, with an authorized capital of
$1,000,000. The incorporators include Mr.
Stillwell, J. W. Hirst, of Omaha, presi
dent of the Linseed Oil trust; W. S.
Woods and W. A. Rule, Ka»sas City
bankers; J. C Fox and E. W. Snyder,
Leavenworth, Kan., capitalists; S. A.
Witherbee, Detroit, Mich.; Herman Kuhn,
London, Eng., and several other capital
ists of Missouri and Kansas.
Through the corporation thus formed it
is hoped to capitalize the scheme.
The plan contemplates a. railroad from
Kansas City through jilopißka and Wichi
ta, Kan., through S! Relfo, Okla., and
through Northewestern and Western Tex
as between the Santa ;Fe and Rock Island
lines, to a point on the Rio Grande river
about 200 miles south and east of El
Paso, thence southwest io Chihuahua,
Mex. At Chihuahua"^connection, la pro
posed with a line now being bffllt to the
southwest, its ultimate terminus to be
Topolobampo, on the Gulf of California.
Of this new line 160 miles is already con
structed.
Mr. Witherbee, the Detroit member of
the corporation formed today, holds con
cessions from the Mexican government
under which the work is progressing.
Mr. Stillwell proposes to incorporate the
several lines into one great system. He
announces that it is a $27,000,000 proposi
tion, but, in view of his success in pro
moting the Pittsburg & Gulf during the
panicky times of the early '90s, he believes
it can be done.
ONE RAILWAY'S TRIBUTE.
Great Northern Payi State Hundred*
of Thousands.
For several weeks the general revenue
of the state has been largely overdrawn.
The heavy receipts from the railroad
companies have diminished this shortage
considerably. Yesterday, however, the
Great Northern railway came forward
and paid its gross earnings tax for the
main line and branches in a lump, mak
ing the largest settlement of any railroad
operating in Minnesota.
The total amount paid into the state
treasury yesterday by the Great North
ern i 3 $373,304.49, representing earnings In
this state of over $12,000,060. The pay
ments are as follows:

Comparatively the figures show ai*» in
crease ovy the preceding year. The tax
paid by the Great upon its
earnings in 1898 was in the aggregate
$338,036.26, representing gross earnings In
proportion on a basis of 3 per cent.
TALK OF A STJfeEti PLANT.
Capitalists Talking of I tlltaiiis St.
Lonii River Power.
A movement is said to 'Jje on foot in
Chicago, by which a combine among
wealthy capitalists will be made, with a
view of purchasing the St. Louis river
water power, owned "at present by Jay
Cooke, of Philadelphia. The ultimate
purpose of the combine is to erect a. steel
plant, power for the operation of which
can be developed from the St. Louis river,
making a very great saving in fuel. A
St. Paul railroad man who has recently
returned from Chicago, stated yesterday
that the movement is general talk lv
Chicago railroad circles and the opinion
exists that the combine will furnish the
Northwest with a supply point for rail
road and bridge steel .and structural
iron.
With the iron ranges with short haul,
the statement is made that it will be fa:
cheaper to bring fuel from Ohio and
Pennsylvania for the operation of th*
plant, than to transport the ore for the
same distance, especially since the pro
duce bought by Western railroads and
corporations, must be freighted back
again in its finished form. The utiliza
tion of the water power of the St. Louis
engineers claim, will furnish 100,000 hors«
power. A railroad engineer estimated
yesterday that the volume of water will
average during the. year 175 feet by 15
feet, descending a grade of laO feet to
the mile.
Merchants' Excursion.
The first merchants' excursion to the
cities began yesterday. Tickets are on
sale over the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and other lines at a fare ait>l a
third, certificate plan, and the sale will
continue for several days. The excur
sions will be run on the plan tried with
great success last year, merchants being
allowed sufficient time in the cities to
mafte their purchases and place their or
ders.
Paris Exposition Parties.
One of the local steamship agencies yes
terday issued a circular to agents, calling
attention to the number of mushroom
Paris exposition "parties" which are be
ing organized by persons In the cities and
at other points in the Northwest. The
circular states that communications from
the different Atlantic ocean lines confirm
the belief that very few instances in
which Northwestern parties have been
given reservations have occurred. The
circular is intended for the protection of
the public since many bogus steamship
agents have been abroad and especially
in the cities, parties have been paying
installments, hoping in return to be able
to jro to the exposition.

RIOT IN EL PASO.
Kesro Soldiers Attack Police Station
to Rescue a ('ninraiic.
EL PASO, Feb. 17.—At 5 o'clock this
morning a mob of negro soldiers from
Fort Bliss attacked the city police sta
tion with the object of relieving two of
their comrades who had been arrested
yesterday. During the fight Police Offi
cer Newt Btewart and one negro soldier
were killed, and it is believed that an
other of the soldiers is wounded.
Yesterday afternoon the police locked
up a corporal from the fort for being
drunk and threatening to chase the po
lice force out of the city, and last night
another drunken soldier was arrested.
Comrades of the prisoners took the news
to the post. A rescue party, armed
with Krag-Jorgensons. was organized.
and just before daylight a descent was
made on the city.
A few minutes before 5 o'clock two of
the soldiers, rifles in hand, entered the
police station and demanded of "Officer
Stewart, the only man on duty, the sur
render of their comrades. Stewart or
dered the men out of the station, and
they opened fire on him. Jailer Richard
Blacker, who sleeps in a room adjoining
the station office, aroused by the shots,
sprang ou| of bed. grabbed his pistol and
started for the office. As soon as he ap
peared in the doorway one of the soldiers
opened fire on him. Blacker dropped to
his knees and at his first shot the negro
staggered and ran out, closely followed
by his companion, and the entire squad
left on a run.
About twenty shots in all were fired.
Stewart was shot twice through the
lungs and died at 7 o'clock. A trail of
blood leading from the station was fol
lowed, and half a block away the dead
body of a negro, shot through the breast,
was found. The dead man clutched his
gun in his hands. Another rifle and
traces of blood" were also found, which
indicates that another of the negroes was
wounded.
Officers Blacker and Scott pursued the
fleeing soldiers, but were unable to make
any arrests.
The company stationed at Fort Bliss is
Company E, Twenty-flfth infantry.
Posaes are out looking for the ma
rauders, though at the post it is claimed
that the only missing 3o!dlers are the
dead man and the two prisoners In the
police station.
The police have learned from the two
prisoners the name of one of the soldiers
who did the shooting in the station office,
and the civil authorities have demanded
the surrender of the man from the com
