THE FIRE YESTERDAY EVENING.
The Railroad House and Central Hotel Burned
to the eround-Supposed to Have Been the
Work Of an Incsndiary--Insurancs.

Between three and four o'clock
yesterday afternoon flames sudden
ly appeared coming through the
roof Of the Central Hotel, on Ala
media street, near the new depot,
and in less than two minutes after
ward the entire roof was wrapped
in flames. The rapidity with
which the fire spread through
out the entire building wss simply
marvellous, and decidedly sug-
gestive. The Railroad House, dis
tant some twenty-five feet, soon
caught, the flames taking hold of
the shingles and spreading over the
roof. At this stage the railroad
engine came upon the scene, and
in less than five minutes from the
first alarm was pouring water upon
the Railroad House. 1t did a noble
work and would undoubtedly have
stayed tue progress of the fire I'M
til the arrival of the city engines
had not a locomotive accidentally
run over and cut the hose. This
"slip" gave the fire q Roadway 80
that by the time of the arrival Of the
city engines the whole of the two
buildings were wrapped in one
continuous blaze. The firemen at
once set to work and these well
drilled corps soon quellei the fire,
but not until the Central was a
complete wreck and only a portion
of the charred walls of the Rail.
road House remained. The Central
was uuoccupied at the time. The
Railroad House was furnished
throughout with lodging accom-.
modations, and most OF the furni-
ture was saved. Two or three
buildings In the rear, occupied as
residences, took fire, the roof of
one being In a complete blaze, but
the Confidence boys connected
their engine with the ice-house
hydrart and soon extinguished the
incipient conflagration.
Both the houses destroyed were
quite new, having been built since
the removal of the railroad depot
to its present location. The Rail-
road House was owned by Mr.. s.
White and was insured for $I1OO on
the building and $500 on the con.
tents, in the following offices:
Home of Ohio, $500, Mr.. I4eake
agent; Western $500, Mr.. G. r.
Johnston, agent and South British,
$500 (furniture), b. F. Drakenfeld
agent. The Central Hotel was I'M
occupied and was insured by Mrs.
Gilmore, the mortgage, for $500
In the following offices: American
Central Of st. Louis, $3.50 and Ly.
coming of Pennsylvania, $3.50, Mr..
Philip, agent.
The fire Is believed to have been
the work of an incendiary and yes
terday evening, man named
Henry Cook, who has been
employed as watchman at the
Central Hotel, was arrested on
suspicion of having fired the build
Ing, which appeared to have been
saturated with coal oil or some in.
hammable matter at the point
where the flames broke out. He
will be examined before Judge
Peel on Monday.

A "Phone" Worth Something.

An intelligent farmer, living In
Des Moines county, has invented a
henophone, modelled on the prin-
ciple of the telephone, by which
one old reliable hen occupying
central office in the henery sits on
all the nests about the establish
ment, leaving all the other fowls
free to lay eggs, scratch and cackle.
AS fast as new nest contains the
full complement of eggs, it Is con-
nected with the central office by q
copper wire, and the business is
settled. The only trouble with the
machine is that 1t sits SO hard it
matches out the porcelain nest eggs
along with the others, so that one
chick in every nest is born with
glass eyes, and the farmer has to
buy and train dog to lead it
around. This makes it expensive.
