The court was surveying him critio-all- y when Mr. Critchlow rose and said a word iu the wayward juvenile's be-half. "This case," said tho attorney, "Is ono that should probably go to the re-form school and 1 ask that it go over for further consideration until Satur-day." The words seemed to fan young Mad-den into new lifo. The How of tears were quickly stanched and he sub-sided in his scat among the motley array whilo John L. Thompson, a tall, gaunt and raw-bone- d disciple of sin and impiety stepped forward with his left wrist encased in a red flannel rag and pleaded gnilty to housebreaking. He retired to receive sentence on Sat-urday morning at 10 o'clock. When the names of George Stafford and Franklin Archer were called the necks of lawyer and spectator were craned for a look at their personality. They are the beardless highwaymen who were recently captured by Mar-shall Young and a picked posse from the force, for making a street car con-ductor stand and deliver. They cama forward with the debonair of the tough-est tough, and each entered a plea of not guilty, i "Have you an attorney?" asked Mr. Critchlow, "1 kind of engaged one who came up to tho jail and gut my address for a message to my folks for money," re-plied Archer. "Have you any money!" asked the court, addressing Stafford, who was posing with rakish nonchalance "Naw," replied the prisoner, who was mutely discussing the contents of the indictment. . The court Any watoh? - - ' f . Tho prisoner jVaw; not even that. The court Any gun? Tho prisoner, adroitly Naw; that's something I never had 'n me life. The cases were passed, and Franklin Murry, aged 17, with a face as smooth as a coquette's, camo forward to plead to housebreaking and burglary. "Guilty," ho said in foggy tones. "Do you understand what it is to plead guilty and the penalty it im-plies?" asked tho court. "Yes, sir; a lawyer told me." The court read tho penalty provided by tho statute and asked; "Do you still plead guilty?" "Yes, sir," piped the prisoner, "but wanter git wboro I can have fresh air; me lungs is bad off." Tho officer whose mind recurred at that moment to the running race that had taken place between the fugitive and his captor on the day of the offense smiled an incredulous smile as tho lung trouble was cited, and the publio spir-ited young crook settled in his seat.

A $1,000,000 FIRE. Minueapoll, Vlsltad hy a Drttrocttv, MixxEAi'Oi.l.s, Minn., Feb. 20. The fire in the Clare Speaker Paint works which started last night is still raging at 0 o'clock this morning, though under control. The damage to property will be nearly $1,C00,000, most of which to the lumber exchange, a magnificent twelve-stor- y block at Fifth street and Hennepin avenue, the Robin-son block and Russell block, the latter owned by Sol Smith Russell, the actor, was completely ruined. The lire caught in an upper story of the lumber exchango, which was claimed to bo firo proof, and burned fiercely. Water did not reach above the seventh or eighth story and the firemen were nearly powerless. St. Paul was called upon for aid and responded with two engines. The thermometer was below zero last night and the intense cold retarded the fire-men a great deal, as the hose kept freezing nnd bursting. Occasion-ally from tbe wall on the upper floors there was a shower of rock followed by a loud report. Thkjojjj rauscd by the bursting of stone, 'ftratime these followed in rapid succession, and then grew frequent only to increase in number again when the fire grew in-tensely hot at some particular point. ClIICAOO. Kelt. 20. Tho Onnna.nl- - man's elevator, in the southwestern part of tho city, burned late last night. Loss, $10,000; partly insured. ATter a fight of eleven hours the fire department succeeded in confining it to four upper stories of the lumber ex-change, the llames of which it was thought at qjie time would certainly consume the entire building. The structure looked like a veritable ico palaco after the lire. The walls as high as the hose could throw water were covered a foot thick with ice and the sidewalks piled from five to eight feet high with ice and snow formed fram the water. An Irish Daniel Loxdon, Feb. 20. Richard Kerens, a well-know- citizen of St. Louis, sailed for home yesterday.

Los A.viiELES, Cal., Feb. 20. Reports continue to come in from tho surround-ing country and give further details of devastation caused by tho recent Hoods. As these reports aro doubtless exagger-ated it is impossible to give an estimate of the losses, but the amount will be considerable. It is now thought that only four lives have been lost, the Wells family at Duarte and Severano Lou re no near Wilmington. Loureue's and Wells' bodies were recovered, but the other two aro missing. Near San Gabriel the river formerly passed down east of the town. Now it is flowing west of the town, and is a stream 1200 feet wide. The county bridge at San Gabriel has been carried away, and a house was swept down near Downeys. From the Ten Mile house to the ocean there is a vast body of water covering an area of ten miles wide and fifteen miles long. Charles Watts and family who wero supposed to havo boen drowned near Downey's, turned up all right. The Santa Fo road to San JDicgo is in bad condition and may not be opened for a week.

F,ara F.ipr,a,l for tlm Kafoty or Kmprni Froilvrirk In the Freurh Capital. Pauls, Feb. 20. An increased feeling of anxiety lest a sudden disturbance should occur before the Empress Fred-- , erick leaves Paris prevails hero. Tho plan which was looked upon as settled by which French artists were to ex-hibit products of their arts in tho Ber-lin exhibition has been abandoned. Detaille, a French painter, finally yield-ed to the pressure brought to bear Upon him and today announced hat he had made a mistake in tonsenting to send some of his works to the German exhibition, adding that he feels, upon rellection, that it would not be patriotic to go to Ferlin. De-taille- also says all brother artists who are Frenchmen will abstain from being represented at Berlin. Tho artistic question outlined by statements made by Detaille and other French artists is the chief topic of con-versation throughout Paris and the provinces. At a reception held yestorday even-ing bv Ribot, minister of foreign affairs, Von Munster, the German ambassador, threw tho wholo blame for the unpleas-antness arising from the visit of the Fmpress upon Tlerbette, the French am-bassador at Berlin. This has given rise to a considerable amount of diplo-matic correspondence bv telegraph and otherwise, the otitcomo of which it would seem is that Herbetle will likely be recalled from Berlin. That the ac-tion of tho Parisians and the tone of the newspaper press of Paris will bo deeply resonted in Berlin nobody for an instant doubts, nnd there are many people who look for-ward not without feelings of apprehen-sion to the effect the present "unpleas-antness" may have upon the mind of the emperor of Germany. Calmer minds, ever since the project to get French artists to exhibit in Berlin, havo been speculating upon what tho effect would bo upon the people of Ber-lin. If, for instance, the celebrated pictures of Detaille, giving from a French point of view the incidents of the Franco-Prussia- war of '70-'7- 1, w hich is glorifying to the Frneh arms, were exposed at the exposition in the capital of Germany. The bourse was week owing to tHe reports of tho articles unfavorable to France arising from a feeling here over the visit of Empress Frederick ami printed in the Cologne Gazette and other German newspapers. An Kngliiih llankrupt. 8ei ial to The Times. London, Fob. 20. An interesting point arising out of the failure of Lord Deerhurst was argued before the bank-ruptcy judge today. Charles Seaton of tbe Field club having threatened to post Lord Deerhurst at Ascot, iu 18H!), iu re-spect of a gambling debt, an arrange-ment was come to whereby in consid-eration of Seaton abstaining from post-ing his lordship his claim was admitted for i'10,000. A bill for 2,000 was given on account and the balance stood over. Tbe trustees, however, rejected the proof of the balance on the ground that the claim was founded on an illegal consideration. On tho other hand it was argued that even assuming that originally the debt had been a gambling debt the fact that Seaton re-frained from posting Lord Deerhurst was ample consideration. The judge reserved his decision. Kailrnad Strlk, Koiled. Rio Jaxkiko, Feb. 20.

Miss Hilda Johansen, who played the leading part, sang in a pleasing manner, and was ably supported by the balance of tho company. An interesting fea-ture of tho evening was the dance, a la Scandinavia, in the third act. As the reporter's linguistic abilities in tho Scandinavian line were limited, he had some difficulty in following the plot of tho drama, but those who understood the play were liberal in their applause. Tho whole performance rellected much credit on the members of tho Thalia club. A Suporb I'roriurtion. "The Water Queen," Bolossy famous fairy spectacle, which is lo be presented at tho Salt Lake theater tonight, is said to be by far the most artistic and successful spectacle he has ever touched. It is described as de-lightful to the eye and a feast for the mind. It possesses all the warmth and sensuousness of the oriout, both in the pictures presented and the portrayal of tho characters which belong to fairy-do-and the infernal regions. Tho good taste aud liberality said to be dis-played in the production will, no doubt, insure a successful financial run to the manager. The scenery is the work of llarley, Merry and Messrs.
