By Fire's Fierce and Deathlike Walter Clark to Attempt to Track Down Her liuMtn, Women Imprisoned Down to a Horrible Fate, and Nailed They Carry Their Point la New Embrace. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 14$.—Walter Clark is expected at Bridgeport Monday to attempt a solution of the mysterious murder of his sister, Rose Clark Ambler. He has received from his mother a number of letters, in which she states that there are accumulating circumstances which point to Lewis as the murderer. Young Clark says that ever since the crimtf he has suspected Lewis. He continues: " The fact that the clothes of my sister the next morning were comparatively dry goes to show that she had ridden with some one during the night. The finding of the club in Lewis' buggy and blood spots on the cushion point to hip) as her companion. Further, the i-emark#8fihe accused in the Nagatuck Valley go to confirm my suspicions. His subsequent actions and his contradictory statements were not those of an innocent man. That he was to marry her does not excuse his behavior, but to me this fact furnishes a powerful clue to his motive. No honest man who loved a woman well enough to have married her would have allowed her to go two miles in tho dark, on a lonely road, unprotected. His excuse that she would not allow him to go with her on account of his early rising, is absurd. It was either because he would not escort her home, or else wished to take this means of getting rid of her. Thn report that Rose met other men on the rond is as false as others of the infamous etu...J circulated against her character. Tho thaory is that after a long courtship with my sister, Lewis ceased his attentions, with the hope of throwing her over. When the truth was forced upon her that he did not care for her she made threats which had the effect of holding Lewis to his promise. He would not go and see her, and she visited him occasionally to emphasize her threats. It was this that led to her walking home alone. Lewis may have allowed her to start to walk home, and then may have quickly harnessed his horae and driveu rapidly after her. He may have overtaken her and asked her to ride. When she was once in the carriage a powerful man could have quickly secured her hands and deliberately choked her to death, aud then have thrown her body where it was discovered. That is what I believe to be the true facts of the case, and bofore long there will be some developments that will prove conclusively the theory, aud bring the right man to justice." Buszard, Secure in his Betreat, Charleston, £L &, Nov. 10.—It has leaked out that the loss of life by the recent disastrous fire in the building of the Charleston clothing company might easily have been avoided if the hatch in tho roof had not . been nailed down. The flames spread with such violence and j-apidity that thu panic stricken women employed in the factory no sooner smelt the smoke and the alarm than they found both front and rear avenues of escapo impassable, and had to face tha awful alternative of roasting to death in the flames or leaping from the third story window. In this dfeadful condition one of them thought of escapo by the roof, but the hatch was securely nailed down. Of the seven women and girls employed three are known to have perished. Mary Herran, twenty-five years of age, a member of the Spring Street Methodist church, was killed by her fall from the building. Laura Green, who porished in the flames, was seventeen years old and quite beautiful. Mrs. Guy, also lost, was sixty-five years of age, and employed as a finisher in the factory. The loss of Robertson, Taylor & Co. is now placed at $60,000, fully covered by insurance. The building was a mere shell. The walls were thin, insecurely braced and between the houses destroyed there was no dead wall, which might have served as a barrier to the flames.* The only egress from the upper stories was by narrow stairways of wood, and there was not in the whole row a single fire escape. Millions of Fine Trees Bow their New York, Nov. 16.—Under direction from Typographical Union No. 6 a committee of compositors visited all the morning papers except The Sun and Herald and requested that the scale be raised to forty six cents a thousand ems. The committee met with a cold reception at The Tribune offloe, and left without obtaining any satisfaction. Ten men, members of the union, however, left their cases in the office. Better success was met with at The World office, which was next visited. The demands of the men were at once conceded. At the offices of The Times and Truth there was no difficulty, but at Tho Star and Journal the men quit work in a body. Later in the evening both papers conceded the demands mode, and the men returned to their cases. Mr. O'Donnell, president of the union, said that, with the exception of The Tribune, the result of the movement had boon an cntiro success; that twenty men in all had left that office, and he believed the paper would give all that was asked. It is expected that a demand for an increase of five cunts per thousand will bo made on tho evening papers. I»rk-Th« Scale Advanced. Defies the Offloers. Heads before the Storm, Onhkosh.

FrightAil Havoc Wrought by llM Wind In Maine—Houses Blown Down and Barns Destroyed. Losses Very Great. Osdkosii, Wis., Nov. 16,—Fire broke out at noon in thq lumber district, on the river front. A high southwest wind carried the flamos along with great rapidity toward the large sash ar.d door factories, the Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad yards, and the business part of Main street. Here the Are jumped to two other points, devouring three frame residences. Telegrams were sent to Fond du Lac, Neenah and other places for engines. Two arrived promptly from Fond du Lac and one from Neenah. Stanhiller, Ames & Co.'s lumber yards were noon ablaze, and a million feet of lumber were destroyed. The fire communicated to Ball's yard and then. to Bedford's saw mil) The machinery of the latter mill was removed to a place of safety. Three tenement houses on the borders of Morgan's lumber ' yard then caught Are, while the flying sparks ignited buildings a long distance down the river. At 3 o'clock the First ward lumber district was a sea of flame, and it is estimated that 15,000,000 feet were burned. Ephrata, Ph., Nov. 16.—Abe Buzzard, the notorious outlaw, who disappeared from the vicinity of his homo, ou the Ephrata Mountain, while being hunted down by the vigilance committees of Lincoln, Ephrata and HLnkletown, has again turned up, having been seen on the mountain last evening by Evan Schellbergsr, of this place, not more than 300 feet from his home. Buzzard said that he would stay on the mountain until the excitement had died away, when he would go to the far west and earn an honest livelihood He would send money to his wife for her to follow him, but he was afraid the police would follow her and thereby effect his arrest. Buzzard's arm was bandaged and bis head bound up, but he said bis injuries were not serious. Lewiston, Me., Nov. 10.—Special dispatches to The Evening Journal say that the recent gale took the form of a tornado iu Oxford and Franklin counties. In Bethel a house and several barns were destroyed. J. H. Carter Was blown thirty yards and picked up insensible. In tho towns of Byron, Mexico, Andover, Newry, Gilead, Cation, Paris, Buckfleld and Fryeburgh many houses and barns were destroyed or damaged. Iu Dixfleld gravestones were broken short off. All roads are badly obstructed by fallen timber. The spruce forests at the head of Swift river were badly damaged, and many million feet of pine destroyed. In Andover twenty two chimneys were toppled over and a church damaged. The damage in Oxford county must be $100,000. In Franklin county the narrow gauge railway bridge at Phillips was moved from its foundation, ard a cable bridge in Salem u as broken. In this town there was much damage, and a number of cattle were killed and buildings blown down. The roads between Phillips and Rangely are impassible. The loss in this county is $50,- 000. Heavy losses are reported from Somerset county, and considerable damage was sustained throughout northern Maine. I havebeen a great sufferer from Rheumatism for sixteen years. A part of tho time I could not leave tho house, and many weeks f was confined to my chair, being unable uD loave it without help, and for tlirco long years I was compelled to use crutches, ami the pant I suffered, no one can realizo—except thoeo who have been similarly afilictcd. I called different physicians and tried many different kinds of liniments, but obtained no relief. My limbs wero day by day being drawn moto and more out of shape, and I had bcon.o completely discouraged, and supposed that I was doomed to suffer on until death put tut eud to my paiu, when 1 heard of your Kin umatic Syrup, and immediately commenced im use, and in less than one week I could sto that it was helping me and aftej usirg it two months I was completely curcd and to-day [ am as well as ever. Bhcumalic Syruj is Utlly a wonderful medicine for cleansing the blood and is certainly a positive cure for rheumatism, and it cannot fail to meet with great success. Spuing Lake' Cayuga Co., N. Y. A correspondent had an interview with Mrs. Buzzard, at the residence of her father, William Stover, on tho Ephrata mountain. She said that she saw her husband last Wednesday, but he did not say where he would go. She said last Monday the posse went through her house searching for her husband, both in the afternoon and morning. The first time they acted decently, but ■the second time the men were all drunk and threatened to burn her house. They wanted to tear up her floor, and she consented to let tiiem do so if they would relay it. She denied the charge of having signalled her husband with a whistle to "skip out" upon the approach of the posse, but said that her son had a toy whistle which be blew at the time that the posse was advancing towards her bouse. She also said that she had not seen Ike Buzzard for some time, and denied that Ike had been with her husband lately. Expert Jewelry Safes Cracksmen. Nkw York, Nov. Id.—Twenty live jewelry stores in New Orleans and Boston have been robbod within two years of goods to tho value of from $4,000 to $12,000 each. These burglaries were all apparently committed by the same gang, for the safes wero broken open in one way, namely, by drilling a hole in the door between the combination and the handle and prying the lock off with a steel screw. The crimes led to the formation of the jewelers' security union, composed principally of wholesale dealers and manufacturers in this city who are interested in the retail trade. The union employed Detectlvo Pinkerton to run down tho gang and several arrests were made. Last July three men broke into a store in Ellenville, N. Y., and got about $5,000 worth of jewelry. One named Burgess was caught. From memoranda in cipher found on him and by following the persons who visited him in the Ellenville jail, Pinkerton's detectives got track of Charles Mayhon, alias Mason, and Johnny Moore alias Down Easter. Thefr movements were watched and they were arrested on Wednesday afternoon last on Eight avenue, near Fortieth street. They have been sent to Ellenville. In itoore's house on the west side were found a fine set of burglar's tools, which is said to be the lightest over used. The complete working set weighs only two pounds. In Mayhon's house memoranda of the working of the combinations of several safes. A desperate fight was made to save a large section of green lumber, but the flames wore victorious. Mayor Pratt's large mill was by this time in ruins. The gale increased in violence, and the whole town aeemed doomed. Thousands of people arrived from adjacent places and assisted in suppressing tho roof fires which had started in several localities. Three engines arrived from Milwaukee and did good service. At six o'clock, Chief Weisbrood, of the fire department, fell from a house, breaking his leg and sustaining severe intarnal injuries. The fire is still burning furiously, but the danger is now ewer. The excit ment is so groat that no accurate estimate of the Iohbck can be made. A DARING ROBBERY. UljtUwaymen In New York at Noon* day—One ol" Them Captured. In Piscataquis county a large amouut of valuable timber, owned by Lewis F. Stratton and Win. Engel, of Bangor, and Frank Gilman, of Winn, and covering many acres was blown down. In many places trees were blown into the stream, which will have to be cleared before any driving can be done. The timber that has been blown down will in many cases be worthless, as it will cost more than it is worth to get it .out of the tangle. Atwell & McLeod had nearly a million pine trivs : t i.idlil* ou a township just east of KalaliJi.i Iron works. Hardly a tree is left standing. Reports from northern Penobscot and southern Aroostook counties indicate like damage to the timber lands. New York, Nov. 16.—A rough looking man was brought to police headquarters at noon, handcuffed, and registered in tho detective office by Inspector Byrnes as John McCarthy, aged thirty years, a boatman, charged with highway robbery. William Lyon came from Albany to this city, and between eleven and twelvo o'clock was walkiug down Centre street. When opposite The Clipper office he was seized by two men, who held him while rifling his pockets. Lyon struggled bard, and some silver coins fell in the gutter. The robbers ran with most of his money—$30—as the cry of "stop thief was raised. One escaped. The other was chasod by Policeman Lake, of the Sixth precinct, through Leonard and Baxter streets into Franklin street and back to Centre street, where the officer overtook and caught him. The prisoner was McCarthy. The stolen money was missing. It is probably in the hands of the other robber, whom the detectives are hunting for in the Sixth ward. I am, most respectfully yours.

Chicago, Not. 10.—A telephone message from Milwaukee soys that a great lire is raging in the mills at Oshkosh, and it looks as if the greater part of the town would be destroyed. The Fond du Luc fire department has been sent for. A heavy wind storm is prevailing. Mrs. Buzzard has had seven children, three of whom are living. One is a boy twelve years of age, and two are twins five years of age—both girls. She said that she lived one year aloue on the mountain while her husband was in jail, but that it was too cold now to stay on the mountain alone, and hence she had gone to her father's. She hopes that the people will let her alone. She strips tobacco for a living at Hilderbrand's, near Ephrata, and comos to town once a montn. The tornado was also very destructive to timber lands owned by T. N. Egrey, of Bangor, the Uoward National bunk of Boston, and the heirs of S. R. Ringe of Cambridge, Mass. North of Williamsburg many acres of timber owned by the Katahdin Iron works railway were blown to the ground. The company will at once put a crew of men to work, in order to save as much as possible of the timber. WATERBURY'S WATER FAMINE A socond message says: "The extensive lumber yards of Steinhiller, Ames & Co., D. B. Bech & Co., and others are on fire. Nearly every man and woman in the place are fighting the flames. The yards are the largest in the place and in close proximity to the dwelling portion of the town." Effort* Being Made to Increase the Bcaervolr Facilities. Mrs. Sarah Hornberger, aged twenty nine years, a neighbor of Mrs. Buzzard, was next seen. Sho said that her husband was a poet and rail maker; that he never was in jail; never committed any crime, and never harbored any thieves. Nevertheless the posse went through her house twice. The first time she was not at home. They tnro everything up in their efforts to find Abe Buzzard. She condemned in severe terms the actions of the committee of citizens toward her sons living on the Ephrata mountain, who were innocent of any offense. WL (TROYAL tjSySi Waterbury, Conn., Nov. 16.—A water famine has stared Waterbury in the face during the past week, owing to the low condition of the city reservoir, which now contains bnt a few feet of water. The supply of the factories was cut off a day or two ago, since which time it has been possible to maintain the average depth of the reservoir at one point, but should a fire or a break in the main occur the supply would soon be consumed. To meet coming emergencies workmen have been employed for the past few days in constructing a small reservoir on what is known as Mad river, into which a part of the stream can be turned, while six inch pipes are being laid to connect it with the main pipe, which brings the witter to the city from East mountain. By this arrangement a stream of pure water will be forced by pumps into the main during the day, or when the drain is heaviest, while at other times it will set back into the reservoir. There is also a scheme on foot to permanently increase the city water service, and engineers have been making searches about the country tor the purpose of locating a new reservoir. The city is fast outgrowing her present water service, and the supply will soon require doubling. A third telephone message from Milwaukee says the Oshkosh fire is under control. Loss variously estimated at $150,000 to $300,- 000. The fire orginated from sparks from a mill firing the lumber yards. Oshkosh, Wis., NoVT^MT—What threatened at one time to be a repetition of the conflagration of 1873 has been finally subdued. Klanhiller, Ames & Co.'s lumber yard, and that of Mayor Pratt adjoining were burned. The total loss is estimated not to exceed $100,- 000, with an insurance over all of $50,000. Cox want* Votes and not Compll* An old resident of Piscataquis county says he has never known so long and severe a galo. The noise of the gale is described as dreadful, and well calculated to excite terror. Above the sound of the gale could be heard the falling of timber, the crash of which could be heard for miles. A theory is advanced that the severe gale produced a whirlwind in Katadhin valley. The loss in the immediate vicinity of the iron works is $60,000. In Adroscoggin county the gale was also a tornado. Barns and houses were overturned, churches unroofed, and railroad bridges moved from their foundations. Three million of pine trees were destroyed in Andover. ThC damage must be $100,000 in the county. It is feared that there has been much loss of life in the remote regions. Wlio Was He? New York, Nov. 16.—The body of the man found some days ago hanging to a tree in the woods at Maspeth, Long Island, not having been identified, it was buried in a pauper's grave. Two papers were found sewed in the lining of the dead man's coat. The writing of both was in German, and translated one of them reads: ments. Washington. Nov. 16.—Mr. Cox, seated in his headquarters at Willard's, in consultation with two of his strong supporters, Gen. Slocum, of New York, and Hill, of Ohio, said to a gentleman who inquired as to speakership prospects: '• They speak of com plimentary votes. What am I to be complimented for? for making a quarter at a century fight for democratic _thoughU? for making the past six weeks tfieTcampaign in Ohio, Maryland, New Jersey and New York? for making a straight democratic record in war and peace on all questions, without going to excess? If this is to be worth compliments it is not worthf having. The truth is that the calculations which the Pennsylvanians and the Kentuckyians have made so fluently by leaving out New York are so audacious as to be comical. It is a sort of a patronage on part of these younger congressman to their elder to service. We shall IS Mrs. Abe Buzzard and Mrs. Hornberger called at the office of 'Squire Kranz in this place, and the former lodged information against several citizens of Lincoln for making threats to burn and destroy her home. Mrs. Hornberger also preferred charges of malicious mischief against several persons for damaging her dwelling house and property by discharging their guns into the saiue. "This will introduce Herr von Glan to any offioer of the army of the United Empire, who will give him all information in their &4iy§# power. The other paper, which was evidently written by a woman, reads: Bismarck." Chicago, 111., Nov. 10.—The five story building at 83 to 84 Michigan avenue, occupied by A W. Kimbark as a heavy hardware eeeablishment, has been gutted by fire. A high wind was blowing at the time, and it required the exertions of the entire fire department of the city to prevent the flames from spreading to the general offices of the Illinois Central railroad and adjoining buildings. The railroad officials summoned to their aid 300 mechanics from all their shops in the city, and succeeded in removing all valuable papers from damage by smoke or water. The loss to Kimbark and on the building is roughly estimated at $400,000, fully insured. A Bis Blaze In Chicago. "Once and tot all I ask you to writejme no agrin; neither do I want to see you again.

Washington, Nov. 16.—Secetary Folger is not very far advanced with his report, but within the next week expects to make much progress. He has been hindered by the delay in sending in .the estimates of the other departments. Postmaster General Gresham has nearly completed his report, while that of Secretary Teller is in the hands of the printer. The report of secretaries Lincoln and Chandler will be be given to the press before congress meets. It is believed that Secretary Chandler will ask for liberal appropriations for the maintenance of the navy and the bnilding of several new war ships, in addition to those already contracted for and now in course of completion. Discussing Science. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 16.—The scientific convention increases in interest. Important papers were read by Prdf.

Washington, Nov. 16.—The postal note does not seem to grow in popular favor, aud even its friends admit that it has not met their expectations. Reports received from all sections are to the effect that as a substitute for the money order the postal note is a failure. The sales do not seem to increase, and people do not appear disposed to adopt the note for the transaction of money except where only a small amount of odd cents is involved. The salo of the postal note has thus far not decreased the use of the money orders, except in vary rare instances. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 16.—The largest ore contract ever made in the south was closed by Mr. Shook, general manager of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, with Messrs. G. P. Curting & Co.

Under this contract the ore is mined at about fifty seven cents per ton, and costs from 61 to $1.05 per ton delivered at the furnaces. The week's output of iron at the furnace of tho Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company at South Pittsburg is the best showing ever made iu the south. In the seven day* the furnace made 705 tons, seven eighths of which was No. 1 foundry iron. A Big Ore Contract.

One bullet struck Miss Rosa Steiner, who had just emerged from her residence, piercing her heart and killing her instantly. Albert Kuhn was arrested for the murder and Frank, who was heard to bemoan the disgrace that would attach to the family, hanged himself a few hours later. During the trial which has just closed an effort was made to show that it was Frank who did the shooting and that he committed suicide from remorse. The evidence against Albert was, however, too conclusive and the jnry, after deliberating all night, brought in a verdict of manslaughter. Sentence was deferred.
