New York, Nov. 22. The engagements of
gold for shipment on Saturday, if anything,
exceeded !he most liberal estimates, yet that
fact did, not cause activity in today's stock
market. It also failed to impart special weak
ness. As a matter of fact, - the speculation
could legitimately be termed a negative one.
In only a few stocks was there even an ap
proach to animation. Closing bids:

years of age at the time of his death, and

March 31,-1814, when the allied armies
entered Paris. He had a better view of
Napoleon in 1815, at a review on the Champ

of Napoleon occurred a few weeks later, as
he walked on the terrace of the Tuilleries.

Ottawa. Ont., Nov. 25. Hall Cainc,
the miuvl English anthor, is greatly an
noyed at the publication of an alleged in
terview, with him which appeared in an
American papr yesterday, giving what
purport to be his impression of Holmes,
the Philadelphia murderer. Mr. Caine
disclaims every passage and every line of
'the interview.'
Speaking to a reporter last night he said:
"Nothing in all my experience of journal
ism has seemed to me so ignoble and so
mendacious. I have been so well treated
-by Ame-ican journalists during my stay
in the United States and Canada that I
could not have believed that any journal
would have treated me in this way. What
HALL CAINE.
are the facts? On Monday last two gen
tlemen called on me at the Everett House,
New York, with a rough sketch of a book
said to have been written by Holmes, and
asked me in the name of the editor of a
well known paper to read and speak of it.
I declined. Thev were importunate. I
stuck to my refusal, but I allowed them to
leave the book, aud I rea l a portion of it.
"One of -the men called again. I said I
could not write of the book or allow my
self to be interviewed" about it. He offered
me $250 to say anything about it to a sten
ographer. I sr.id I would not tohch the sub
ject for 2,5 )0.
"He remained some moments, while I
wrote to his editor declining to be inter
viewed oil so hideous a subject. He was
courteous and gentlemanly, and we had
some talk as man to man."
" 'I have your promise?' I observed, 'that
nothing I say shall be printed'?'
" 'You have,' he -answered.
"Then he went away. TI13 following
day I came t-t C.vnada. This morning I
received a typewritten cfpy of this alleged
interview with me, accompanied by a let
ter from the editor, saying he had in
structed the reporter to write an account
of what I had said in n&y private conver
sation, hoping I would allow the account
to be made public" and asking for a reply
by wire indicating any passag3 I objected
to. It was, however, too late to telegraph,
as the paper was already published.
"All I can now do is to offer my indig
nant protest. The interview is unauthor
ized. In part it is utterly false; in part it
contains what I said as between man and
man. On my return to New York5! shall
lose no time in seeing how far an action at
Ijvw will lie against parties to so shameful
a breach of faith."
BRUTAL DRUNKARD'S SUICIDE
After Murderously Assaulting His Fifteen
" Year-Old Stepdaughter.
New York. Nov. 25. Andrew Tinko, a
Hungarian, while intoxicated attempted
to murder his 15-year-old stepdaughter
and then committed suicide. The man,
his common law wife and her daughter by
a former marriage lived together in a tene
ment house in Third street. Early yester
day morning the man attempted to as
sault the girl, and meeting with resist
ance he wa crazed with anger. He seized
a knife and thrust it into the girl's back
several times The girl sprang from the
bed and ran into he kitchen, closely fol
lowed by the murderer. There the child,
cowering in drea.l, was seized by the
father, who picked up a hatchet which lay
on the floor and began to strike the girl
011 the should jrs. The girl, though hor
ribly cut and bruised, managed to break
away from her father and escape from the
house. Then the mother snatched the
hatchet from his hand and followed her
daughter into the street. They called the
police, who found Tinko stretched out on
the floor dead, having fired several shots
into his neck and head.
"It is a pleasure to sell Chamber

CnroAGO, Nov. 23. The interior of the
Exchange building, a seven story struc
ture at the corner of Van Buren and
Franklin streets, was destroyed by fire
yesterday," entailing a loss of .$375,000 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: Patrick J. O'Donnel, lieu
tenant of engine company No. 2; Martin
Sherrick, pipeuian; John Downs, pipemau;
John Prendergat, pipeman, and Kittle
Landgref.
The firemen were crushed by falling de
bris. Kittie Landgraf jumped from the
fourth story' window and was injured in
ternally. She died at County hospital.
Garry Neil jumped from the fourth story
window. He was internally injured and
had his left arm broken, aud will prob
ably die. "Nellie' Turner jumped from a
third story window and received internal
injuries that will prove fatal.
The following were overcome by smoke,
but will recover: Aggie McClain, Olga
Kellar, Hattie "Brennau, Edna Hitter and
Mary Pink Daniel McMally, driver of
No. 3 engine, was buried beneath the
debris, but will recover.
It was a few minutes before 0 o'clock
when Rose Bruce, employed by Stern &
Beirs, wholesale clothiers, noticed that the
corridors were filling with smoke. She
ran into the workroom, whsra thirty girls
were working, and alarmed them In
stantly there was confusion. Although
every effort was made to control the fright
ened girls, several opened the windows
and climbed out on ths ledges. One of the
first to do this was Nellie Turner. She
screamed for help, and some one on the
ground shouted for her to jump. She
grasped the escape and swung herself off
from the stone ledge on which she had
stood, and hundreds on the street cheered.
She descended and OfScar Flaherty, who
was on the fire escape, started up to assist
her. He was too late. She suddenly lost
her balance and .fell. Officer Flaherty
tried to catch her, but failed. She was
picked up unconscious.
The escape of Olga Kellar is regarded as
marvelous. She was employed by Steiu &
Biers, and whsn the, room wherj she was
working began to fill with smoke she ran
to one of" the windows overlooking Van
Buren street. She threw up the sash and
climbed out on the ledg:?, clinging with
one hand to the narrow strip of wood on
the outside of the sash. She saw a fewfwt
below her the ladder on which two firemen
stood, and she prepared to jump.
"Wait; don't jump"!" shouted Captain
Hermauson, who had almost reached the
window.
Great volumes of smoke poured out of
the window where the girl stood, and at
times her form was entirely obscured.
Cheer after cheer went up for Captain
Hermanson as he climl)ed up. He had al
most reached the girl when he heard her
scream, and as he looked up he saw her
reel and release her hold on the window
siding. She had been" overcome by the
smoke, and had fallen. Captain Herman
son braced himself, and, as the uncon
scious form dropped, he seized it with his
right arm. The effort nearly cit 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 burden.
By noon the firemen thought the worst
of the day's battle was past. They were
mistaken. Shortly before 1 o'clock a large

carrying it and the third, secdnd and first
floor with it. Five men, members of en
gine company No. 2 were working on the
ground floor, and were buried beneath the
brick, stone and timber. All were killed
but McNally.
After nearly an hour's work the rescuers
had opened a passageway through 'the
debris and succeeded in getting close
enough to where the firemen were buried
to assure themselves that Lieutenant
O'Donnel was alive. He was just able to
talk, and it was with great difficulty that
his words could be heard. Gradually the
lieutenant's voice became weaker, and his
reply to the last questions were scarcely
audible. The fire soon broke out again
and the rescuers were comp,ell6d to aban
don their work. jO'Donnel's dead body
was recovered at 7 o'clock last night.
Youthful Train Wreckers.
Syracuse, N. Y.,: Nov. 20. Train No. 6,
the fast mail express on the New York
Central road, was wrecked about a mile
west of Rome. Th disaster was the work
of train wreckers. The engine and all of
the cars on the train were ditched and
completely wrecked. The engineer of the
train, Nathan Hager, of Albany, and. a
tramp named William Bond, of this city,
were killed. Bond's companion, John
Macey, had his left foot cut off, and six
others received injuries more or less serious.
No passengers were hurt. Four young fel
lows, aged 18 to 19 years, were the perpe-
trators of the outrage. Their names are
Hildreth, Hibberd, Bristol and Lato. They
acknowledge that their object was robbery.
