TWO NEW TRADE SCHOOLS.
Hue. do Illrich Will Erect Industrial
Training Institution*.
New York, June 16.—Representa
tives of the Baron de Hirsch fund and
Mme. de Hirsch have pnrehased a plot
of ground on the east side of New York
as a site of two industrial training
schools and a home for girls. On one
end of the property a 6- story building
will be ereoted at a cost of $100,000. It
will be called t-lie Clara de Hirsch Home
for Working Girls, and will be co
ducted on nonsectarian principles, by a
board of women trustees.
In addition to the dormitories, class
rooms will be provided where young
women will be instructed in sewing,
cooking, stenography and typewriting,
bookkeeping, etc.
On a plot in the rear, a 5- story build
ing. similar in its construction to the
girls’ school, will be erected. It will be
known as the Boron de Hirsch trade
school, and >oys of Hebrew parentage
will be instructed in the trades and
arts.
Work on both structures will begin
. ... . at once, and it is believed that they will-
brought with them a ba flushed by next spring. Endow-

K|elc on Savannah’* Fir. Chief.
Savannah, Jnne 16.—The fire insur
ance men are hot after Chief John E.
MaGuire of the Savannah fire depart
ment. A committee of insurance un
derwriters of Atlanta has addressed a
communication to Savannah's fire com
mission, in which, after commending
the apparatus of the department and
the city’s water supply, they attack
Chief MaGuire. They say he is inex-
perienced and does not know how to
tight fire and ask that he be removed.
Chief MaGnire says the move against
him is entirely a political one. The
matter will be considered at the next
meeting of the commission.

himself and Collins.
Ensley’s vest was covered with blood,

eral hundred dollars on his person
Ensley registered at the Southern hotel
as from Memphis.
Martin Ensley’s father was • Colonel
Enoch Ensley, a man of something
more than national fame, and was re
garded at his death, three or four years
ago, as the richest individual in the
south.
Colonel Ensley was a leading spirit in
the development of the mineral re
sources of the sonth. He was largely
interested in the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company, established the steel
works at Bessemer, Ala., helped make
Sheffield, Ala., a great mining place,
founded several towns, one of which
bears his name, owned several big cot
ton plantations and was an intimate
friend of Andrew Carnegie. He had
two children, Martin, who is almost 32,
and Lady, a year or two younger. For
the latter he named the Lady Ensley
mine, one of the largest in Alabama.
Martin occupied a high position in
the social circles of Memphis, Nash
ville, Birmingham and other southern
cities during his father’s life. He was
married to Bettie E. Selden, daughter of
N. L Selden, a wealthy Memphis man.
Miss Selden was regarded a9 the hand
somest woman in the state. When
Colonel Ensley died it developed that
his estate was encumbered so heavily
that it was doubtful if anything would
be saved.
About two years ago southern society
was startled by the announcement that
Martin Ensley’s wife was suing him for
a divorce on the ground of nousupporc.
Since the divorce Martin has divided
his time between Memphis, Nashville,
Birmingham and other cities, where' an
father had interests.

Madrid, June 12.—The Spanish pre

interview, is reported as saying that
the alleged demauds of the United
States in the case of Dr. Ricardo Ruiz,
the American citizen, who expired in
the jail at Gnanabacoa, apparently from
injuries received there, must be exag

that if the widow of Ruiz demanded an
indemnity, and such claim was shown
to be justified, Spain would see that
justice was done.

Be Killed a Man While the Two Were on

Lives of a Number of Other Persons.
Sydney, Jane 16. —The trial of Frank
Butler, charged with the murder of
Captain Lee Weller, while the two men
were ou a gold prospeoting trip, has
been concluded, the jury rendering a
verdiot of guilty.
Butler, after the murder of Captain
Weller, escaped from Australia on the
ship SwanhUda, but upon the arrival of
that vessel at San Francisco, he was ar
rested, afterwards being extradited.
The plea ot the defense at the trial
just closed was that Captain Weller
committed suicide.
It is alleged that the condemned man,
in the course of his career, has taken
the lives iu Australia of a number of
other persons, among them a metal
lurgist, named G. T. Preston. It was
his practice of advertising for a part

murdered him while in the bush.
