Vlctorla, B. C, July 24. Fire
started In the lower section of the
city last night and fanned by a wind
blowing at the rate of twenty-five
miles an hour it spread rapidly to the
adjoining buildings. The depart
ment was helpless owing to the lack
of water. It was the fiercest fire
known In the history of the city and
fifty families are now homeless.
The extent of the fire Is about one
mile by a half mile. Nearly very
bouse In the district has been burned.
The loss is estimated to be about
J175.000.
Telephone and electric wires are
down. The fire started In a small
blacksmith shop at the corner of
Herald and Store streets.
Included In the destruction were
three churches. The brewery was
saved, the employes of the house
acting as firemen. When It was
thought the eastern portion of the
city was doomed the wind dropped
and the firemen soon got the fire
under control.
Although no lives were reported
lost, there were some narrow es
capes. The burnt district Is bounded on
the west by Store street, on the
south by herald, as far east as
Blanshard. The flames Jumped to
Pioneer, but In this block only a few
residences were consumed. The
south side of North Chatham as far
as Cook street formed the next boun
dary, while on the north It extended
to Pembroke street. Included in the
burned area Is part of Chinatown and
not a single house In the tenderloin
remains standing. The resldental
portion also suffered considerably,
and it is estimated at least fifty fam
ilies are homeless.

SHOT DOWN BY LOVER
GIRL SHOT TO DEATH BY
JEAIXH S ADMIRER AS SHE
ENTERS A STORE.
New York, July 24. While thou
sands of clerks and department store
employes were hurrying to their
work this morning, Esther Norllng,
a pretty 20-year-old girl, was Killed
by a shot from a revolver held In the
hand of Charles Warner, a former
employer, at Forty-second and
Broadway. f
The girl was with A. R. Splcer, and
the couple were entering a haber
dasher's store, where both were em
ployed, and the shooting took place.
Warner rushed through the throng
of pedestrians and killed her. The
sound of the shot and the fall of
the dead girl created a panic. Hun
dreds gathered about the corner and
began to throw bricks and missiles
at the murderer.
Warner turned upon Splcer and
emptied his revolver at him, but
failed to hit him. Than rushing at
him Warner struck the clerk over
the head with the butt of the gun
and knocked him down. Jumping
over the prostrate forms, Warner
disappeared into a near-by building.
In the excitement the Janitor
locked the door, preventing pursuit,
and Warner escaped from the build-
and has not yet been captured.
After escaping from the building
Warner entered the store of John
lng by way of a rear fire escape,
C. Wilson In Waverly place and
fatally shot him.
Splcer said Warner, who Is about
55 years of age, had been calling for
Miss Norllng each evening and that
she had complained that his atten
tions annoyed her.

Hangs ncrseir and Nix Children.
Copenhagen, July 24. Mrs. Oscar
Nelson, driven to distraction by the
toss of her position as housekeeper
for a landowner named Ullkjar,
sought revenge today by hanging
I'llkjar'a three children. Bhe then
killed her own three children and
hanged herself.
Boise, Idaho, July 24. Declaring
Harry Orchard was a maniac pos
sessed with a lust for murder a
desire to glut a disordered brain with
the blood of his fellow man Attor
ney E. F. Richardson, continuing his
plea for the lire of William D. Hay
wood, told the jury today that the
defense was ready and willing to ad
mit that Orchard accomplished the
taking off of Governor Steunenberg
in the manner described by him on
the witness stand.
Orchard was painted as a man who
fancied there was glory In spec
tacular crime. Day after day op
portunity was offered to him to kill
Governor Steunenberg in compara
tive safety to himself, but rather
than so kill a man whose giant
stature offered a target as big as a
"barn door" Orchard planted a bomb
and planned the deed so that It
might attract the greatest amount
of attention.
Richardson assered that Orchard
had a motive against Governor Steu
nenberg for the real or fancied loss
of his Interest In the Hercules mine
through being driven out of the
Coeur d'Alenes.
Of Orchard's story of his many at
tempts upon the lives of men said
to have been marked for death by
the federation, Mr. Richardson said
it was the most absurd thing on the
face of the earth. He declared that
It would be a long time before the
law would sanction a conviction on
such testimony as had been adduced
against Haywood and he pleaded
with the Jury not to put a halter
around the neck of his client "at the
behest of the Mine Owners' Associa
tion and Its representatives."
"The general argument of the
prosecution," said Mr. Richardson,
"seems to be that the Federation of
Miners stirred up things and the beat
way to secure quiet is to hang these
leaders. If any one wants thiai
there will have to be wholesale hang
ings. The leaders of all factions,
political, religious and labor, will all
have to be put out of the way before
quiet ran be secured, and the law
prohibits this."
Richardson donounced General
Sherman Bell as the "veriest brag
gart the world ever knew." He de
clared that he, more than any other
man In the history of this country,
deserved the contempt of every labor
man.
As to the disappearance of Jack
Siuipklw following the death of Gov
ernor Steunenberg, Attorney Rich
ardson said he, too, would have fled
to hiding under similar clrcum
stances, although there was not an
lota of evidence to connect Slmpktns
with the crime. Sluipklns had had
one experience in an Idaho bullpen
and felt his only safety was In flight
Attorney Richardson announced
that he would close his address to the
Haywood Jury today.
