DESoLATE HOMES.

A Tribune reporter, from whose ac-
count this report is mainly made up,
learned that three members of family
living on the third floor of No. 361 Full
ton ST., had been lost. He went to the
house and was shown up three flights of
stairs into dark passage. As he walk
ed up to the door of the room that was
used by the family for kitchen, a young
woman came running out with arms ex-
tended and cried out, ais that you,
Christian Is that you, Frank?" On
seeing that the face was that of stran-
ger, she cried out vehemently, Oh, sir,
can you tell me anything about Chris
tian, or Frank, or George2 They all
went together last night to the theater
and We have not seen them since, and
my father says they are burned up"
The young woman proved to be Mrs.
Veith. After her agitation had subsid.
ed, she told the following story: My
husbands name is Christian Veith. He.
in company with my brother, Frank OF.
fermann, and young man who boards
here, named William Bennett, went to
the theater last night, and we have not
heard from them since They work at
Mr.. Oswald's, No. 244 Court st. Faith.
er went there this morning, and Mr.. Os.
wald said they had not been there. As
they have never missed working day
in year, we can't help thinking they
are dead. My husband is 81 years old,
and Frank and William are about IS
years old. They were in the family cir
Gle, for they never sat in any other part
of the theater"
The scene in the apartment was truly
heartrending. Frank Offerman's moth
er was walking up and down the room,
crying, " Oh my sons, my sons +" Four
little children. the Oldest not ten years
old, were crouched in one corner of the
room, while Mrs. Veith held the young
est in her arms, As the family relied

fexed and hands clenched and in the
act of pushing. Knees were bent and
legs drawn up as though fighting of
some advancing, and overpowering foe.
Whether this was caused by the pressure
Of the crowd or the falling debris or ev-
en- the heat of the flames could not be
told. 1t was the general opinion, never
theless, that some portion of the building
gave way, precipitating the crowd into
the flames below. The rapid fall of the
roof that followed buried those who es-
capped the other catastrophe.
A young man named Dietz was iden-
tilted by his sister and friend, who, on
discovering that it was the body they
we're in search of, was so overcome that
! it was all the authorities could do to
keep them from falling on and embrac-
ing the corpse. The sister stood near it
crying and giving vent to such exclama-
tions as, Poor Abe Oh if mother can
only stand this blowl"
The body of one young man was dis
covered by his sister, who, casting one
glance at what was left of his coat, gave
a cry of "My Toni" and fell fainting
in the arms of her father and was car
ried insensible to the street. 1t was af-
terward found that this young man was
the only support of his mother and sis
ter, his father being drunkard, who
had not contributed towards supporting
his family for two or three years. The
boy held good situation in some bank
ing house in New York and was on the
eve of promotion.
One man was identified as an employe
of the Our Boys Publishing Company
by certificate in his pocket His wife
identified him, and, falling ON her knees,
hugged and kissed his bruised and black
ened limbs as though she would rather
die than leave him.

Beware of the Frauds.

Several irresponsible bummers who
have been in the Black Hills since
last fall, living offthe %hard-earned pro-
visions of honest aud industrious men,
and who persisted in their attempts to
secure a living without work until
their benefactors were forced to kick
them out of camp as the only means
of Kidding themselves of such unde-
sirable company, have made their way
out to the railroad in some way, and
are now doing their level best to keep
back all who intend going to the Hills
to work. One of these fellows recently
struck Laramie, and gave to a few of
the people there, through the medium
ola lying sheet (which shall be name
less here), n story which bears upon
its face the impress of falsehood.
Another of these bilks is now In this
city, and makes n practice of elbOwing
himself into crowds on the streets and
firing off TRADES of abuse of the Black
Hills and everybody now there. We
can prove hat this man has been
lying around Aliens camp all winter,
and that he was fed and taken care Of
by Allen, who was finally compelled
to kick him u of camp because he
was an intolerable nuisance. This
miserable beat now curses the Hills
curses Allen and his party, and shows
himself an ungratefui, good-for-noth-
Ing pup on general principles. II his
stories were believed, we might say
more concerning him, but believe we
have written enough for this time.
