A JUDGE CAUSES A SENSATION.
an Refuses to Try the Wisconsin Ex-
Treasurers and Will Not Tell Why.
MADISON. Wis, Oct. 26.-Judge Sie-
aecker has caused a sensation by announc-
ng that he will not try the interest suits
against the state treasurers, because of
:ertain reasons which he refuses to make
sublic at this time.
' The inference is that the judge has been
ipproached, but whether an attempt to
pribe him has been made or whether po-
itical influence has been brought to bear
upon him is a matter of speculation.
Attorney General O’Connor is dum-
founded and is loud in his denunciation of
:hose who have made it impossible for an
anright judge to try the treasury suit.
Judge Siebecker says that if he made
shown at this time his reasons for with-
irawing it would be impossible to_ get a
fair and impartial trial of the cases in the
state of Wisconsin. He promises develop.
nents hereafter.
Payne Convicted of Perjury.
MILLVILLE, N. J ., Oct. 26.—Ch‘arles
Payne, a prominent Republican politICian
sf this city, has been convicted of perjury
.u the county court at Bridgeton. Next
l‘hursday he will be sentenced. Last term
1e was tried for keeping a disorderly house
cut the jury disagreed, and when the case
name up for a second trial it went over
intil this term upon Payne making afii—
lavit that three important witnesses were
iway. It was subsequently found that
itateinents in the affidavit were false, and
his caused the additional charge of per-
.lury. Payne’s friends say that had he
escaped conviction he would probably be
:he next candidate for mayor. He was
=cnt to prison several years ago for forging
l man’s name to pension papers.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.—W. F. Burns, a native

seen in every day communication with the
:Late department, and Monday he will
.z'z-ive for \Vashington for a consultation
with Assistant Secretary Wharton, which
:nay result in adding to the seriousness of
the present strained relations with the
Chilian government. Mr. Burns declared
with a good deal of earnestness that he
iidn’t believe Balmaceda was dead. He
would not tell why.

John McGowan SSenis Insane On the
Subject of l’onllagrations. .
[he Incendiary Is a. Young Man Who
Hasflle’en Arrested for the Same
Crime Before—Contented “’hen
Denial Was of No Avail.’
BROOKLYN, Oct. 26.—The police of this
city feel confident that they have captured
the firebug who is responsible for the many
incendiary fires that have occurred in
Water, Front and Plymouth streets dur-
ing the last three or four months. The
prisoner is ayoung man who is believed
to be insane on the subject of fires. The
evidence against him in the present case
is very strong and is backed up by a con-
fession which he made shortly after his V
arrest. He was caught in the act of set-
ting fire to a. three story double frame
tenement, at 2 Phillips alley, in which
twenty persons were sleeping. He made
his escape then, only to be captured an
hour later just as he had started another
fire in a frame stable.
Caught, but Released.
William Tracy, who lives with his wife
and three children on the second floor of 2
Phillips alley, was awakened at 12:80
o’clock Saturday morning by a noise in
the hall below. On opening his door he
saw smoke pouring up the stairs. He ran
down and seized a young man who was
standing near the front door watching the
fire. Tracy asked him what he was doing
there, and he said he was a watchman and
had come in to put out the fire. The stairs
were burning briskly by this time, and
Tracy released the man and extinguished
the flames. which had consumed half the
flight of stairs. While Tracy was busy
with the fire the man darted out the front
door and disappeared in the darkness.
The fire had been started with a lot of
shavings and old paper soaked with kero-
seue.
~ Angry and Frightened Tenants.
The other occupants of the house were
aroused by the noise and excitement and
ran down stairs, ‘many of them being
in their night clothes. A search was made
in the neighborhood, but no trace of the
firebug could be found. It is probably
very lucky for him, as the occupants of
the tenement were in an angry frame of
mind, and many of them said that lynch-
ing would be too good for him.
Dennis O’Connor, a sailor, was return-
ing to the navy, yard at half past 1 o’clock
when he saw a man starting a fire at the
doors of John McLaughlin’s frame stable,
32 and 34 John street, just around the‘cor-
ner from Phillips alley. O’Connor stamp-
ed out the fire and then called to Police-
man Buggy, who was across the street.
The firebug, who had run away when he
saw the sailor, was found by the police,
man in an alley in the rear of the stable.
He was taken to the Fulton street station,
where he gave his name as John McGowan,
and said he was twenty-one years Old. He
said he lived at 214 York street, but the
police say he has no home.
Started Fires for Fun.
McGowan denied that he had set fire to
the tenement or the stable, but when he
was confronted with Tracy, who positively
identified him as the man he saw in the
hallway. he broke down and made a full
confession. He told Detectives Kearney
and Noon an that he started the fire in the
tenement just for fun and that he intended
to put it out as soon as he had given the
people in the house a. good scare.
H ad Been Arrested Before.
McGowan was arrested last August on
a charge of setting fire to the tenement
houses 198 and 198 Water street, but there
was not sufficient evidence against him
and he was discharged.
Captain Eaton believes that McGowan is
the person who started the many fires
which have alarmed the occupants of the
tenement houses in that section of the city.
McGowan has been closely watched . for
several months, but he managed to cover
his tracks too well for the detectives.
When McGowan was arraigned in the
Adams street police court a charge of vag-
rancy was made against him, as the police
were not ready with the evidence of arson.
He was sent to Raymond street jail for five
days on the former charge.
