PAUPERS' PARADISE.
NEW WORKHOUSE IN LONDON IS

It Rivals the First -Class Hotels -Baron-

London, May 13. --Some of London's
paupers will soon be as magnificently
housed as princes. The revelations ot
extravagance and luxury in the West
Ham workhouse, which, so astonisted
and. alarmed London ratepayers recently
bid fair to sink into insignificance as
compared with those of the latest pau-
ters' palace, which is in the Borough
of Hammersmith. Its cost is $1,507,-
630.
The paradise of the poor has been
constructed in a spirit of lavish and
reckless expenditure. The result is a
structure equal, if not superior, to any
nobleman's mansion in the land., and
vying in many respects with the finest
motels in London. Weary Willie and
Tired Tim will enter their palatial
home between handsome screens of
fitted pitch -pine of the finest possible
growth and plate glass; welkin an a
floor tiled with mosaic, and surround-
ed with a dado of encaustic ware of the
most expensive art type.
The sun: of $1,075 per head has been
spent for the housing of the paupers
of Hammersmith. The cost of the
cooking apparatus is $15 per pauper,
and of electricity $12.50 per annum. A
system of duplietete wiring has been
introduced similar to that which was
rejected for Buckingham Palace a few
years ego on the score of expense.
There are general and ladies' com-
mittee rooms and rooms for clergy of
all denominations, and a dining hall

classed as little better than feeders.

700 lbs.. $3 to $3.50; common stockers,
slow sale and not wanted.
Mil& cows -Several buyers from east-
ern points, as wet has several farmers,
who were all wanting good cows, caus-
ed the market to be strong. All cows
approaching good quality were readily
picked up. Prices ranged from $35 to
$70 each. The latter figure was for an
extra choice cow. The bulk would. sell
from $40 to $55 and. a few at $60 each.

taken at higher prices. Export ewes

A COSTLY BLAZE
CORBY'S DISTILLERY NEAR BELLE-
VILLE DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Loss is Placed at a Quarter of a Million
Dollars -Fireman Badly Hurt -In-
surance About One Hundred Thou-
sand Dollars.
Belleville, May 12. -One of the 'most
disastrous fires that ever took place in
this county occurred shortly after. 4
o'clock this morning, when the celebrat-
ed H, Corby distillery and mill, were
totally destroyed, entailing a loss
roughly estimated at a quarter of a
million dollars, and as a result one man
may lose his life. The fire was discov-
ered by Daniel Hubbs, night fireman,
who noticed smoke issuing from one of
the distilling rooms. He went up the
stairway leading to what is called the
beer mash room and on opening the
door was met by a wall of fire, which
struck him in the face, knocking him
backwards into the fire hole.
He was stunned, but in a few min-
utes revived and ran to the office, where
Eugene Davis, one of the proprkors,
lived. The latter was awakened and hur-
ried to the scene, but when he arrived
the whole piece was a mass of flames.
He telephoned to the city for the any
bulance and the fire department, both
of which quickly responded, but the fire
men could do nothing but hold the fire
in the 'burned building. Great difficulty
was experienced by the company's fire
brigade in saving all the other property,
but, owing to the lighe wind, they suc-
ceeded.
There were several narrow escapes,
owing to falling walls. The building
was four stories high, with a basement,
and was the oldest distillery in Can-
ada, being built by the late Henry Cor-
by in 1859.
In conversation with Mr. Eugene
Davis, one of the firm, he said the loss
would probably be $250,000, with insur-
ance of probably $100,000, but lie was
unable then to tell which companies were
interested. He further stated that re-
building 'would start immediately on
what would be the most modern and
up-to-date distillery in America..
llubbs, the injured man, is thirty
years old, married and has two chil-
dren. His spine is badly injured, and
his hair and eyebrows were burned off
and his left, band so badly burned that
the flesh fell off in large pieces. The
assistant fireman has disappeared, and
could not be found around the place to-
day, although he was seen after the fire.
Hubbs was brought to the city, and is
receiving every attention.
Corbyville, wbere the fire occurred, is
four miles north of the city, on the
River Moire,.

FORMER LONDON WOMAN KILLS
HERSELF AND CHILD,
"Da Not Bring That Other Woman Into

Husband -A Sad Story From Pitts-
burg.
Pittsburg, Pa. May 13.- Because
she knew that ;ler husband was pay-
ing attention to another woman, who
need but .a, few squares from their
home, Mrs. Carrie Sigsworth shot and
killed her 18 -maths' -old son, and then
elicit and killed herself, at their home,
807 Jackson street, Allegheny, some
time during last night. Her husband,
Alexander Sigsmvorth, who is a pros-
perous machinist, found the bodies
this morning. At first it was suppos-
ed that the deed had been committed
on account of Mrs. Sigsworties
ill -
health, but to -day Sigsworth admitted
to euperintendent of Volice Glenn that
jealousy had been the cause of the
awful crime.
Mrs. Sigsworth was about 27 years
old, very beautiful, refined, and edu-
cated.. She came here, with her hus-
band, a short time ago, from London,
Out. The .couple appeared to live
happily together, and neighbors de-
clared that Sigsworth was a model
husband. When the baby was born
Mrs. Sigsworth's health was shattered,
but she continued most amiable, the
neighbors say. Sigsworth told Glenn
that he became enamored of a young
woman on Monterey street, and • his
wife knew of his infatuation. They
quarreled frequently over the matter,
and on several occasions Mrs. Sigs-
worth threatened to leave him and take
the baby with her.
Last evening, Sigsworth says, he lied
his wife quarreled again. He left the
house about 8 o'clock. His wife suspect-
ed that he was going to the woman on
Monterey street, and warned him that
if he did so he would find both herself
and baby dead when he returned, He
says he paid no attention to the threat,
however'as she had frequently made it
before. He went to the Monterey street
house remaining there mail about 11
o'clock. • When he returned he went di-
rect to his room. This morning Inc call-
ed. his wife, but she madeno response.
He broke open the door and found the
dead, bodies of his wife and the child
lying side by side on the bed. The
mother had evidently killed the child
as it slept, shooting it through the,
heart. Then she put tt. bullet through
her own heart.
In a letter which she left to her
husband, Mrs. Sigsworth did not up-
braid him, but asked him, for appear-
ances' sake, not to bring "that other
woman into the house until I am
cold," and not to give her her furs
and diamonds. The •Sigsworths are
said to come from prominent families
in London, and. the parents of both
have been telegraphed for.

There is an evident desire on the part

express the conviction that there will
be no secret hearing or "railroading" of
Ilaywood, Moyer or Pettibone to the

A staggering array of witnesses is

Hunter had been sent to repair it
