A ‘Bad Blaze in Albany at Which a
Fircninza is Killed.

ALBANY', Sept. 1‘2.——-One of the worst and
most threatening fires that has visited Al-
banvfor months started in the large four
storvbrick carpenter shop and furniture
maliufactory of Thomas Sievens, in the
rear of 277 Lark street. In every short
time the entire building was gutted and
in ten minutes the walls began to fall.
Surrounding property was in great dan-
ger, and the firemen were pressing for-
ward under the tottering walls, plying
the streams wherever there seemed the
slightest chance of subduing the flames.

Suddenly one of. the walls was seen to
topple over, and when the dust had cleared
away it was found that Fireman Trunk
Luby, of steamer No. 2, was missing.
Search was at once commenced for him,
and after removing much of the debris
Luby was found, bruised and battered.
Every eflort to revive him was made but
the life had been crushed out of him. He
leaves a widow and one child. Edward
Powers, of steamer N o. 1, was struck by a
piece of tin and had an artery of the left
hand severed. .

The loss on the building was about $13,-
000 and on contents about $30,000. Insur-
ance about $18,000.

 

NEW YOBK’S STATE FAIR.

Large Crowds Witness One of the Finest
Displays Ever Made.

SYRACUSE, Sept. 12.——The state fair
grounds are in good condition, the weather
is of the ideal variety, and the exhibits in
all departments promise to be ahead of
those of any year in the history of the fair.
The fruit exhibit this year is unusually
large and fine, and it is said by the man-
agers of the fair has never been equaled
in this country.

Thursday, the opening day, the attend-
ance was large, and Friday it was much
better, giving promise of financial success.
Ten days is the period during which the
fair remains open, and every arrangement
has been made to successfully and safely
transport the immense crowds that are ex-
pected. The “Test Shore and the Dela‘
ware, Lackawanna and W'est-ern roads
will run half hourly trains, and by the
boat line on the lake one can reach the
grounds every fifteen minutes.

The horse exhibits of all breeds are ex-
traordinary, as are those of poultry, dairy
cattle and flowers.

 

DIacQueary is Going to Fight.

CANTON, 0., Sept. 12.——Reverend Howard
MacQueary said that he would certainly
contest the decision of Bishop Leonard,
suspending him indefinitely. It is under-
stood that he will take the case to the
civil courts. 'He says he will never com-
promise his freedom of speech bya promise
to never talk or write the views that have
brought the displeasvce and punishment
of his church upon him.

Horses and Cattlo Burned.

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 12.—John A.
Bancroft’s brick barn at 141 Central street
was destroyed by fire and fourteen horses
and seven valuable Swiss cattle were
burned to death. An employee named
Frank Wood has been arrested on 51154
picion of having caused the fire.

The excellent character of the government
crop report, issued after the close of business,
had the effect of strenthcning values this morn:
ing. The opening figures ‘ere generally a
fraction higher than yesterday's closing. Rock
Island advanced 134 per cent; Burlington, 1%,
and C., C., C. and St. Louis, 1%. The advance
was maintained only ill a few instances during
the early dealings. Toward the end of the first
hour Whisky trusts became very strong, ad.
vancing from 45?: to 51, and afterward declining
to 50. Lake Shore was also very strong at ll
o‘clock and advanced to 1101/4. The remainder
of the list, with few exceptions, failed to rel
spond, and at 11 o’clock figures were but little
changed from those current yesterday. The
stock market was fairly active after 11 O‘clock,
but the market was very weak. The little'
strength of the first hour entirely disappeared.
Prices gave way sharply under the lead of
Union Pacific, Lake Shore, Burlington, ‘Misa
souri Pacific and Whisky trusts. The bottom
figures of the morning were current at midday.
The decline ranged from 34 to 2% per cent. At
the close the market was barely steady. Th'd
sales amounted to 191,900 shares.

illllNAPED Bl DAYLIGHT
Millionaire Bi‘i—l—lUY‘IIMd His Lawyer
Abducted by Detectives.

A BOLD PIECE or BUSINESS.

Inticed Into a Carriage and Carried Ofi‘
E’s’lh Revolvers at Their Heads—Res-
Eped by a Sherifi‘ and a. Posse
After a Hard Chase.

SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 12.-——This city
was thrown into great excitement yester-
day by the kidnaping by a detective named
Sullivan of William E. Bailey, a young
millionaire, and R. B. Albertson, his at-
torney. The kidnaping occurred at 5:30
o’clock on Second street, when it was
crowded. Bailey is the son of a wealthy
man living in Harrisburg. Young Bailey
is owner of the Harrisburg block here,
and is president and director of several
banks. He is also proprietor of The
Times. Albertson is a. second cousin of
Albertson, the absconding cashier of the
Fidelity Trust company, Tacoma, and it
is supposed the detectives abducted him in
order to get some information about the
defaulter.

Revolvers at Their Heads.

The detectives enticed the two men into
a. closed carriage, and it is supposed they
held revolvers at their heads until‘ they
were out of the city. When the cab was
two miles out of town, Bailey and Albert-

'son were calling for help, but the detect-
ives threatened to shoot several men who -

attempted to stOp them. A posse of police
and deputy sheriffs-went out on horseback
and chased the carriage, and a special
brain with over 100 citizens started for Ta-
coma.

The detectives drove with their captives
to Black River Junction with the inten-
tion of taking a train for Tacoma, and
were captured there last evening on the
arrival of the train at 11 o’clock. The
capture was made by the chief of police of
Seattle and a posse, and the whole party
returned here shortly after midntght.
Sullivan had 8. Pierce county warrant for
the arrest of Albertson; charging him with
having knowledge of his cousin’s Where-
sbouts. The warrant, however, was not
[ndorsed by King county officers.

Rescued by the Sheriff.

Sullivan and his men caught Albertson
and Bailey as they were going home to
dinner, and one of the detectives told Al-
bertson he had a warrant for his arrest.
Albertson demanded to see the warrant.
Adeputy said: “Get in the hack and we
will drive to your oflice.”

Bailey and Albertson both got in, and at
once the door was closed, and the two
armed detectives held their prisoners while
the cab was driven rapidly out of the city.
l‘he prisoners were unable to attract any
attention until they were some distance in
the country. They finally forced the door
open, and passersby attempted to rescue
them.

Bailey and Albertson say that Sullivan, '
who was outside with the driver, drew a
revolver and made the rescuers turn back.
The driver rebelled at Black River J unc-
tion, and Sullivan got out of the back
with the prisoners to wait for the train
from Seattle. The train was two hours '
hours late, and when it arrived Sullivan
and the two deputies were arrested. They
were brought here and placed in jail.

There Had Been More Kidnaplng.

TACOMA, “rash, Sept. 12.—The kidnap-
lng of Bailey and Albertson at Seattle yes-
terday was the outgrowth of the disap~
pearance from this city of Cashier Albert-
son, of the Fidelity Trust company, about
two weeks ago. Albertson left a. shortage
In his accounts amounting to about $10,-
)00. Several thousand dollars in securi-
ties also disappeared about the same time,
1nd it is supposed that Albertson took
them. Last week J. H. Coohoon, Cashier
Albertson’s brother-in-law, was kidnaped
by Sullivan’s detectives and kept confined
In a. hotel for several days in the hope
that he would disclose something regard-
lng his brother-iu-law’s whereabouts.

Medical Inspector Pineo Dead.

BOSTON, Sept. 12.—Dr. Peter Pineo died
at his home in West Somerville, aged six-
by—six years. He wasborn in Cornwallis,
N. S., and educated at Harvard Medical
college and Bowdoin college. At the out-
break of the American civil war he was
commissioned as surgeon of the Ninth
Massachusetts regiment. In August, 1861,

ewas promoted to be brigade surgeon,

. S. V., and served in Virginia. on the
staffs of Generals Wadsworth and King.

ubsequently he served on General Mc-

owell’s stafi and'on General Meado’s, as

at Antietam and South Mountain. Later
he took charge of the United States Doug-
lass General hospital at Washington. In
[863 President Lincoln commissioned him
lieutenant colonel and medical inspector
of the United States army.

He Will Refund the Money.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—W. A. Smith, of
W. A. Smith & Co., brokers, at 60 Broad-
way, was arrested on a charge of grand
larceny. The complainant is a prominent
merchant of Poughkeepsie. He charges
Smith with having stolen money given to
him by complainant with which to buy
stocks on margin. Smith was arrested by
Policeman Case, of Poughkeepsie, on a.
bench warrant issued in that city. The
prisoner was taken to Poughkeepsio.

that he would refund the money. '
