sICkENlNG HORROR.
Three Children Burned to Death.
Special to Oregonian.)

OAKLAND CAL. Aug. l6.-An alarm
of fire was sounded at about 1890 to-
night for the district south of seventh
street and east of Broadway. 1t was
caused by the burning of small one
story tenament house located on the
south side of second street, between
Jackson and Madison Before the
fremen could reach the scene the
building was ablaze and before a stream
could be b rought to bear upon the
same nothing but ruins were
visible. Soon after the arrival of the
fremen the startling information that
several human beings had been burned
was obtained Search was at once in
stituted, and the information proved
true. Amongst the ruins the remains
of two children were found, burned to
a crisp. 1t was ascertained that the
occupants of the house at the time the
alarm sounded were John Kallaher
his wife and, four children and wo
man named King During the day
and evening Kallaher had bought sew
eral buckets of beer. Mrs. King, his
wife and Kallaher himself got beastly 5
drunk. The children retired about
half past eight o'clock and their parents
with Mrs. King threw themselves up
on a bed in the front room at about II
o'clock. The cause of the fire can onl,

one of the three capsized a coal OF
