THR BURNING OF THE CROWN
POINT HOCaE-ONE MAN
BURNED ALIVE.

About halfpast l o'clock yesterday
morning the Crown Point House, at
the lower part Of town, kept by L. C.
McMurtry, was discovered to be on
fire in the upper story, aud in a very
short time all above the lower story,
which was fire proof, was totally de-
stroyed. The alarm vas promptly
given and the Fire Department rushed
to the rescue. The first water was got
upon the fire from the Crown Point
Ravine water works, playing 4 splen-
did stream, which vas quite effectual
in d~eadening the flames, and prevent
ing their spread to other buildings, al
though fortunately the hotel stood
comparatively by itself, there no other
building Immediately adjoining. The
intense heat, however, at one time
caused the two churches on the opposite
side OF Main street. and also the Crown
Point carpenter shop to smoke consid-
erably.
There was another Of those vexa-
tious delays in getting water through
the regular town water works, which
Iave been rather too frequent In times
past. Chief Jones turned on the water
as soon as possible, ut the stop-cock
near the old Granite mill. but 1t seems
some one very shortly afterward went
there for the same purpose, and by
mistake shut 1t OIL, so that the fire had
done about all the damage 1t
conld before water was got upon
it from the regular hydrant. Mon
umental Engine Company No. g.,
from the Divide came down In
splendid time. took water at a reser-
yoir back Of the Gold Hill Brewery
and did good work. Young America
Co. No. 2 also came down from Vir-
ginia with their efficient steamer, but
she was not put to work, although she
would have been IL required.
After the fire was eXtinguished, the
body Of William Norris, M Of the
boarders In the hotel, was found amid
the ruins, burned to a crisp, but little
beside tue trunk remaining. He wasa
Welchman, aged about 50 years, and a
miner, employed In the Crown Point
mine. He had been drinking rather
freely the day before. and was consc-
quently so sound asleep that he was
not awakened by the alarm. The
other boarders had to hurry for their
lives, many escaping almost naked.
The fire Is said to have originated from
one Of those incendiary arrangements,
a miners c%andlestick. The upper story
was Of wood. while the lower was Of
brick, perfectly fireproof, having been
formerly used as a store and the office
Of the GOLD Hill. News, with n heavy
fire-proof roof. The second story was
built about a year ago by McMurtry,
when he changed the building into a
hotel. The lower story was only In
jured to a small extent by water leak
ing down through. Mr.. McMurtry
sustained considerable loss and dam
age IN the removal of his furniture,
fixtures. ETC.. from the lower part ;
nothing whatever was saved from the
upper story. He had Insurance to the
amount OF $4,000, which. however,
does not near the loss.

SAN Francisco, October IL Pm.
In the Police Court to-day, All Foo
was fined $500 for petty larceny, and
J, F. Patten 5000 for %undecently ex-
posing his person.
The case of Peredo vs.. Chief OF Po-
lice Crowley was called In the Fourth
District Court to-day, and set for trial
tomorrow. A year or so ago Peredo
was arrested by Crowly and Subordl-
nate without a warrant, on pretense
that he had robbed the SPANISH Gov.
crnment In Cuba. He was forced to
deliver them $2s, 900, and then dis
missed. No charge has been made
against him no requisition sent for
him. and no claim to money set up by
the Spanish Government. His suit for
false imprisonment was lost OH tech
nical grounds. Peredo now sues Crow
ley for the s2s, 900.
The similarity Of the weather the
last few days to that which preceded
the heavy earthquake shock of some
years ago, and the near approach OF
the anniversary Of said shocks, causes
earthquake sharps to predict a shock
soon. 1t Is remarkable that the
weather has been very warm for a
week. 1t is very sultry and oppressive
to-day.
Stocks have improved somewhat to-
day, aud operators anticipate q good
week.

QUESTIONS ANswERED.-The ques-
ton has often been asked, why goods

seems answered. that BY small profits
and quick sales and a largo assortment
of stock to choose from, the trade can be
kept at home. Hoping a continuance OF
tho patronage heretofore received, they
promise to stick to the above motto. y
