FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 23, 1883. An laddent of the Burling of Hay's Hotel at I- Eliaafcethtaws. A priTsts letter from Elizabeth town, peaklnf of the destruction of May's Hotel by firs, says: "When Mrs. Lizzie Robinson was aroused sod opened the door of her room, she found herself entirely cut off by the fir from any avenue of escape.

She was on the third and there wss only one stairway. The heat was so great that aha was compelled to return to her apart msnt. Sam. Churchill, seed about twenty, was on the floor below, and, when he came from his room, he was blinded and badly burned and with the greatest difficulty reached the street. When bo passed oat tho whols hall and stairway were in flames, and bs tboag-ht that his aunt, Mrs.

The boy, with heroic courage, started back to rescue bis kinswoman. Bystanders endeavored to pre- ent the act, telling him be could not reach her.

He replied: -I wU burn up with her, and Instantly went into the burning building. When he reached the room he found his sank lying in despair upon the floor; she recognized the boy and appealed to him to save her. 'I don't know that 1 -can, be replied, "but I have returned to burn with yoa if I can't save you. A more heorie act was never undertaken; the cbancee were ait against him and it was only by being badly burned that be proved worthy of the great pjjaJss which our people are showering on TUX WOOLMX.MILI.

As a general rule, when a burglar steals his way into a boose at nfgbt, and captured or wounded while plying his infamous to ads, the public verdict usually is that it was 4 well dons, sad tbs person who shoots him down like dog is commended for it. A case of this nature happened yesterday morning shortly after 8 o'clock, sad thief was shot down in bis tracks. So peculiar and cold-bloodod are ths circumstances, however that ths most hardened disciple of justice Ynost feel a wave of pity swell up in his heart for the offender, and express a certain sense of condemnation for ths manner In which tbs set Was committed. At the hour mentioned three pistol shots sounded over the roar of the wind and the beating of the rain, on Green street, between Seventh and Eighth, and the news wss carried to ths police that housebreaker bad been shot, and probably killed, while robbing money-drawer TEX rCXL FARTICCLsJtS of the affair are as follows: About four months ago two young men named John R.

Talbert and Charles E. Huts came to this city in- search of employment. They had beard of the vast crowds that were expected to come hare and ths rush in business, so thought they would have no trouble In securing work. Both of them claimed to be experienced bartenders, and sought places behind the bar. In a week Talbert obtained work at Fred.

WeitlalTs saloon on Green street near Seventh, and Huts obtained a similar pis at ths Winfrey HoteL Talbert showed himself to be master of bis trade, but he bad many faults which stood in his way. Ths neighborhood is a ery bad one, nearly ail the houses being oc cupied by prostitute, who of course re quested the saloon and became acquainted with him. In this way he was gradually thrown into almost constant association with them, and the result wss the inevitable one. He began to neglect business, and became a patron of his own bar. The pro prietor' still, retained, him, however, as ho was a good barkeeper, until last Monday when hs was discharged.

Ths saloon was kept open that night until about 2 o'clock, and when ths proprietor came in ths morning he discovered that rear door bad been forced open and ths money-drawer robbed. no had a suspicion' immediately that Talbert was in the robbery. and decided to watch that night, in the hops that he would return. Officers "Winn and Welsh were notified, but their vigil was useless one, as no thief put. in an appearance.

Nothing more Was seen or heard of Talbert Until Wednesday afternoon, when he entered the saloon and took a drink. In ths rear of the bar is a small room, with tables in it, and uio coiorea porter, a. Ll, Hundley, was working there. Talbert walked back, and, sitting down, engaged in a conversation with Hundley. Ha remained for some time, and the new bartender's sus picions became aroused.

When Weitluf arrived be told him what had occurred, and hs st once approached the porter on the subject. After much questioning Hundley admitted that Talbert bad made a proposition to him to rob ths saloon that nient after it clossd tin. He had refused to enter into the scheme, and- me tempter naa gone away, elUuU at once conceived of A PLAIT TO ISTBAP TALBIRT, and shoot him. He instructed Hundley to hunt him up and tell him that after reconsidering the matter be would assist in robbing the saloon. Tbs colored man entered into the plan, aad soon found: Talbert, and together they arranged 1 the plan for tbs robbery.

Just over- tha roar-, part of the saloon is a sitting-room, on the side of which is 11 window opening out onto a small porch. A 'pair of steps lead down from this room into toe saloon, so as to make the entrance easy. The plan. was" arranged for Hundley to leave the shutters of this window open, so they could climb up on the porch and obtain access to the room. They then parted.

Hundley returning to the saloon and oommusi- eating ths result of the conference. Jake Welty, the' night bartender, was let into the scheme, and the trap was set. THS) asLOOK CLOBID. At 2 o'clock yesterday mondnsr ths saloon was closed up for the night, and all the lights extinguished, save one encased in a red burner which served to break the gloom in tbs apartment. To all intents and purposes every ons had left ths house, and the way was open for the robbery.

Behind the curtain, however, the situation was a tragic one. Crouching in ons corner of the room, bid from view behind ths ice-box, wss Weitluff, clutching a double-acting Umith Wesson pistol in bis hand, waiting cat-like at a moase-hole, ready to spring upon his prey, in ths room at tbs lear-of the saloon was a young man named Jake Wertley, who was in the plot and ready to assist Weitluff if necessary. APPR0ACDCTQ HIS DOOM, Meanwhile ths victim was aDoroachinp faia doom. Aa soon aa the place closed the colored man Hundley posted off and joined Talbert, who was in wai tine a counle of sauarea off. After an hour's watching they walked cautiously around to the saloon, and proceeded to enter it.

On the side of the house where the porch is runs small alley, and they stoi- cautiously through this until rear staircase leadins- np on the was reached. They climbed it cautiously, Hundley going in front, and approaching the window leading into the sitting-room pulled gently st the shutters, which had been prepared. iand yieiueu reaaiiy to aw toucn. ins pair stepped through the aperture and stood at the bead of the staircase leading down into the saloon. lit THS SALOON.

The' bait had now been taken and the trigger was set. Weitluff rose from bis crouching position behind the ice-box, making a slight noise aa be did so.

Talbert took the alarm and started to walk around behind the counter to see from whence it emanated. He was then within fifteen feet of Weitluff, his left side being most exposed, Tan climax or ths ckixk. --The nervous right hand raised the ready pistol, and three shots were tired in quick succession. Only for an instant had the aim been true, however, and none but the first shot took effect, the others going wide of ths mark. 1 na ice-picx aropped from Talbert's hand, and, staggering out into the center of the room, he fell against box, while the blood poured out and stained the oaken tioarus 01 we noor, over which ths red liht over the counter cast, shadows.

When ths tiring bad ceased, Hundley came out from bis place of safety behind the counter, and, aided by the other, lifted the wounded man into a chair.

E. Hutz. the young man who came here with Talbert, it was learned that his home was in Chambersburtr. but bo has been wandering around ths country for some years. His parents are very respectable people and in good circumstances.

He also said that Talbert had never been known to do anything dishonest before, and hs could assign no reason for it. Tbs affair has caused much comment, and a number of severe criticisms have been made on the cold-blooded manner in which he Was shot, ss hs could have been easily captured.

CMMaeaHra mf tho fmtl of JCsis in All Parte eYthe Ohio Tattey and Ten. Frews JittsesrgA to Memphis. WXDJESDAT SiQETS OILS. Tbs rain which began falling Wednesday morning continued during yesterday, with but short intermiasioas. The fall, st no time much mora than a shower, aggregated only 0.80 inches.

The wind was mostly from the west snd northwest, its velocity ranging from four to twenty miles. The mean tern- perature was 66. Rain fell daring the day at all stations In the Ohio valley and Tennessee from Pittsburgh to Memphis. Ths thermometer yesterday afternoon marked 82 at Bismarck, and 80 at New Orleans. Much damage wss done in ths county, bouses and barns being blown down, and a great deal of' fencing destroyed.

A great deal of timber was injured. The most serious loss was probably sustained by Mr. Wm. Torry, of Ormsby Station, who had a large barn blown down. It contained ten bead of cattle, all of whom were killed.

All of these were young Jerseys, snd very fins animals, so that his loss will amount to several hundred dollars. Tbs damage dons to the sewers and street contracts was much less than at first supposed. City Engineer Scowden snd his assistants drove all over the city yesterday, and says the damage will not exceed 50, and probably will not be as much as that. Sewers and trenches are filled with water, but these can be cleaned, and with but little trouble or expense. in ths yicixitt or jsCTzatsoxvrtxjE.

The storm was the most destructive that has visited JenTersonville for many years. In the country north of that city ths damage consisted mostly in the destruction of fences and barns. In Jeffetnonville the. loss was particularly heavy. The old Ingram tannery, belonging to the O.

and road, was blown down. At the Ohio Falls Cor-works the damage was slight, but created great confusion in scattering lumber snd blowing down fences. Ths building of Mrs. Stauss, on Spring street, was damaged to ths amount of $500, ana ths roof of Prof. Johnson's drug stois was entirely removed.

Beach's old cement mill, on the falls, wss blown down, snd the roof of the Falls Power Milling Company's mill partially destroyed. The little church below the Prison South, known ss tbs Wall-street Mission, was completely destroyed, resulting in a loss of about $300. The roof of one of the buildings in tho prison was also damaged to a considerable extent. At the Pumpkin Patch the steamer Celina was sunk and the steamer Fashion damaged to a considerable extent. The total loss in this vicinity is hard to estimate, but it will amount to at least $25,000.

HT THK WKST XRD. Numerous other losses occasioned in the West End by the storm were reported On Jefferson street, near Sayre, a new frame house was being erected, and was nearly finished, snd the entire structure wss torn away by the wind. The tin roof of Mr. Buckley's house, on Market street, near waa torn completely off snd blown across tbs yard, knocking the chimney oil tho house next door; On Fifteenth and Market streets large tree was torn up by the roots and laid across the pavement. Ths Fultons house on Jefferson street, near Twenty-third, was minus two chimneys when ths wind ceased blowing, ths remnants being: scattered over the entire yard.

Ine skylight on Wiley Rodgers' drugstore, at Thirteenth and Chestnut, wss torn loose from its fastsuing and deposited in the back yard. On Bank street, near Thirty-fifth, a little brick bottsgs wss dsmoltohsd, and ons side of it caved in.

A Couehr-Jourxal reporter noticed a crowd on the Court-house steps yesterday, and, strolling up to them, found the center of attraction was a most remarkable look ing tramp, who apparently had a bad case of malaria. He wss a picturesque combination of fash ionable colors. His hat was faded to an olive green, his nose bad that crushed strawberry tint so much admired of late, his hair was a bright terra cotia, and bis clothes a sort of combination of various neutral tints. But the strangsst thing about turn was the way he shook. His teeth chattered together like cymbals, and bs rattled all over like a bar-room dice-box just before the drinks.

Ths Soda Water Men Bring 8mU Against tho Great Xs. re Jtseeeer- Xlere SJ ssndt Five Bun red Dollars for Breach of Contract. TEE ALLEGATIOXS OP THE PLinTnTS. B. B.

Cnrry and R. K. Price filed two nits In the Court of Common Fines yesterday to recover an aggregate of $11,500 from ths Southern Exposition, for damages claimed to have been inflicted by a breach of contract on the part of the Exposition man- agement in withdrawing from Curry Price their privileges to sell soda and mineral water and to run a shooting gallery. The causes which led to the bringing of the suits wQl be remembered by every one. On the 3d of October last, Capt.

Taylor walked up to the big soda fountain in the center Of the Exposition building aad presented an order, leaned by General manager Wright, for the soda water man to evacuate and for the soda water girls to follow suit. order wss issued in accordance with a resolution adopted by tha Board of Directors a short tlmq previous, to the effect that if aay privilege man refused to pay the third installment, due October 1, he should immediately bs bounced. Messrs. Curry Ss Price did so refuse, and Capt. Taylor and the order followed as a matter of coarse.

At first' Curry objected to the proposed vacation, and, locking himself in bis ticket-box bads ths management defiance. Later, however, be gave it up and resorted to ths courts for an injunction to prevent the Exposition managers from further interfering with his bosinesa. The injunction was argued before Judge Edwards, who refused to grant it because (Tarry would not give bonds for the fulfillment of his part of his contract with the Exposition. This ended the matter temporarily, and from that time on the fair' dispensers of ths foaming, but temperate, beverages were missed from their accustomed hsnnta. But it seems that the soda fountain men are not to retire from ths field without fighting the battle through to the last ditch, and in the suits above referred to they show their new line of tactics.

Their story, shorn of its legal circumlocution, as set forth in the petitions, is as follows: On ths 30th day of Juns, 1883, they purchased of the Southern Exposition Company the right to exhibit a soda-fountain and to aell soda and mineral waters therefrom. They also purchased the right to set up and operate a shooting-gallery. Both on the Ex- position grounds. In making the contracts they were induced to believe that every fa cility would be afforded them for conducting weir enterprise in a prontaDie manner. Ther were assured that there would be onlr five soda-water stands allowed, and that they would, ne assured protection from hurtful competition in the shape of the selling of other beverages such as beer, buttonnilk, cider, in the building-.

After securing; their privileges on ths conditions named, they went to Kew York and at a great outlay of labor and money bought and transported to this city a magnificent soda fountain called the Snow Queen, with which they adorned the center of tbs main building "in a very artistic manner." Having est up the Snow Queen and stocked her liberally with syrups, mineral waters and soda, and having secured the bus ices of a bevy of bewitching girls, they announced themselves ready to carry out their part of the contract by quenching ths thirst of the entire South, if necessary. But they allege that their troubles began immediately. For the first sixteen days they claim that ths light supplied them after dark was so dim snd insufficient that they could not attend to their business. (The girls, probably, couldn't distinguish the syrups, and would give a customer ginger diluted with mineral water for pineapple soda.) Again, until Sept. 1, what light they had was cut off at five minutes past 10, just the hour when they were besieged by a ravenously thirsty crowd passing oa their way out of tbs building.

Added to this instead of the five soda and mineral water stands they expected, new stands kept bobbing up like mushrooms in different parts of the building, until there were four over the stipulated number, to aay nothing of the free mineral water, free coffee, free tea, beer and other stands scattered freely about. This waa too much for them to bear, and when October came and they hesitated about paying -their installment, the officer appeared and peremptorily topped their doing any more business at all, took away Uieir passes, collared their apparatus ana literally bounced them from ths premises, the abooting gallery sharing the fate of the Snow Queen, who was shorn of ber beauties and ber syrups.ruthlessly bound up with ropes and left to ths Jeers and snoors of the populace. There ars three counts to tbs soda water Sititiou, ons to the shooting gallery, and essrs. Curry Price's estimate of the damages they have sustained may bs summed up as follows: For stopping the sale of $3,000 For seizing the "Know 1,000 For general nea-Ugence 60 For suppressing 6,000 Grand 1UM CO UMTS.

G. OYER THE RIVER. The Preeeodinge ia the tTlal of Taeseas Lucko, Indicted for Murdering Philip OsrAe im Xeto Albany. THE PIltST BAT'S TESTTJf 0KT. TBI trial of Thomas Lucke, charged with the murder of Philip herbs user, commenoed la the Floyd Circuit Court yesterday.

'Cberhauser waa killed by Lucke and Jack Roark jointly, it is claimed, but the former chose to be tried separately, and Una trial waa set down for hearinar veaterdav. Thera is much interest ia the case-from the fact that Oberba user wss killed without apparent provocation, but perhaps accidentally. When ths cans was called yesterday there waa a large attendance In the court-room, notwithstanding the inclement weather, and after the Jury waa selected the evidence was listened to witn a great deal of attention. It will be seen from the evidence adduced that the killing waa a matter nC accident, but it is none the leas excusable. Tbs following jury was selected: Charles 3L Cook, Samuel Ikxld, Isaac T.

Barnett, Benjamin Dolby. David Kelly, Thomas J. Burkhardt, W. A Burkhardt, Paul Cook, Wm. T.

Miller, Julius Gariot, M. Orms snd W. C7 Bennett. Before this jury was selected at least thirty were excused because they bad onned opinions. Mr.

Samuel B. Kerr, deputy Prosecuting Attorney, made the opening statement to the jury. Be related the story of the killing, briefly that on one Saturday night, the 14th day of July. 1883, Thomas Lucke and John Roark met Philip Obsrhauser, spoke to him In a rough way, and, after some conversation. Lucks knocked tbs deceased down and killed him by kicking him snd striking him with their fists.

He ciaimed that it waa murder, and without provocation, and tbs Ststs would show that old man Ober-hauser vu killed in this way as the case pro- eeeded. Col. Anthony, for the defendant, aaid the object of making a formal statement before tns jury was to snow wnst tne snaencs Was to be. The- statement made by the prosecution was unduly prejudiced. la the urat place, the old gentleman spoken of was not aa old gentleman at 'all.

He was a person of forty or orty-nvs years of age. The man deceased thrast himself Into the company of those young men, and when he was ordered to go on. replied that this was a free country, and he had a right to do as ha pleased. It does not follow that the deeenend died from the affects of ths wounds Inflicted by tns defendant. Ko deadly weapon was used, and there ia no presumption that the defendant intended te kill the deceased.

The defense would attempt to show that there was no malice upon the part of the defendant; in. fact ths defense denied that it was anything mors than a esse of assault and battery. The defense would show that this man -Oberhauser was aa entire stranger to tbsas young men when he came along and mads his insulting remark. CoL Anthony avu preparing to argue further on this point, when Mr. Burke objected to? CoL Anthonys mods ot argument; that no propositions of law could bs argued at this time, and that CoL Anthony's assertions were based on hearsay and not entitled to the consideration of the court.

CoL Anthony did not endeavor tn make hirtktf smimMit w.ii the taking of testimony was resumea. John Davis was the first witness called for tbs prosecution. imwsa sua ne aid not snow -Philip Oberhauser; he knew Lucke sad Roark slightly. Oa the 14th day of July last, between 10 and 11 o'clock at night, hs met ths defendant and Honrs oa the comer of Kprinar aad Bank streets, aad Roark accosted him, saying. "Hello, pard, have you got aa and witness said no he had a gum coat, and commenced talk ing aoout otner aaawers.

iu txtrnauser came along and stopped, aad Roark said, "Who sent for our" Oberhauser did not answer. Roark aaid to Lucks, "crack him." Arftcke aaid off pardy," and witness did not think Lucke was going to bit him and was listening to Roark tell the story about a bane bail game in Louis- -iile, when be looked around he saw Loeke strike Oberhauser and bs eU; after he fell Lucke kicked him, and then Roark stopped tailing ths story snd commenced kicking- Oberhauser. Afterward both of them hastened away. Wit- nsss remained some time and picked np the deceased. He could not walk.

They carried him to Dr. Easley's office. Oa cross-examination witness said Oberhauser could bare passed by without being interrupted, and that when Boars: aaid. bo seat for your he asirl it ia a pirns. ant manner.

Neither Roark nor Lucke had weapons ia their hands. George Davis teatiued la substance the aaaae as John Davia.

John Haha testified that he waa going np Spring street; heard the cry of the police; walked to the corner of Bank atreet and asked John if he had knocked the man on the pavement down.lle said ao witness; did not see ths striking of the deceased.
