Nine Days Without Food
j New YORK, January 20.-Francis B.
Booth and his wife, Eloise Booth, aged
people, have kept bird store on Blcech-

speak from hunger. They were taken
to the hospital, where it was said their
recovery was doubtful. They had been
sick for thirty days AMI had eaten moth
ing for nine days. Mr.. Booth was at one
time wealthy man, but lost his money

Man Killed While Standing In His Door
His Son Afterwards Shot
CARLISLE, KY, January 20.-On the
Maysvlle Branch OF the Kentucky Gen.
trail Railroad, about one and half miles
east OF this place, and just below what
is known as the Small Tunnel, is situ-
ated small, one story log and frame
hou' Q, the front portion being log, and
the l., new addition, being frame.
Here for seventeen years Noah Ander.
son has lived and carried on the occu.
patton OF q farmer.
Mr.. Anderson retired as usual with
his family on last night, but before the
mornings dawn he lay cold and stark
IN death, his ffteen-year old son,
Samnel Anderson, lying in the same
room pierced through and through
with fatal bullet. The circum-
stances of the killing Of the father
and the probable fatal wounding OF the
son is are follows:
About hali-past ten o'clock party OF
masked men, numbering some six or
seven, were seen riding up the Cassaday
branch in the direction OF Anderson's 3, q
married son OF Noah Anderson, and who
lives short distance from his father. Ar
riving at Robert Anderson's the mob
called him to the door, and, as he says,
demanded that money he had OF his IA
ther. lie replied that he had none,
when after some further conversation,
interspersed with threats, they told him
that would do, and started in the direc-
ton OF Noah Anderson's, and, as is sup
posed, arriving there they called him to
come out, when they proceeded to force
the door, and finally succeeded. As the
door flew open Mr.. Anderson was stand
ing near it with his pistols in his haDds,
and whether he or the mob fired first is
not known. However, at that point
some five or six shots were fired in rapid
succession.
Mr.. Anderson fell back mortally
wounded. The ball, which was fired
from pistol, entered two and one.hall
inches above and one and one-hsif back
OF the right nipple, and, passing through
the body, emerged about ten inches be.
low the left armpit, evidently passing
near, and perhaps wounding, the heart.
He died almost instantly.
After being shot, Samuel Anderson,
who. with q smaller brother, Was sleep.
ing in the room with his father, caught
his father, and while supporting him re-
ceived fatal bullet in his own body.
He was shot with 3S-cslibre pistol.

New YORK, January 20.-A fire oc-
Cured in a building in Mott street at Nc.
3, this morning, containing lG7 families
comprising 1900 souls. The scene wit
messed is without parallel for confusion
in the history OF fires in this city. The
building is known as the "big ilat," is
six stories in height, seventy
five feet in front and runs
through the block TO Elizabeth
street, distance OF about two hundred
feet. The fire had broken out on the
ground floor, in grocery store, and the
flames, breaking through the front win
dows, ascended on the outside up the
broad front OF the building until the
roof was reached. Fortunately the po-
lice and tiremen were quickly upon the
scene, and hurried the screaming wo.
men and cli dren and cursing men into
the street, the police having to use their
clubs freely TO drive the people out.
Thus was prevented calamity s%ful

THR eLaDENSBURG TRAIN.
A ParaphraSe.
BY GEORGE KooNTZ.

Several days ago a stranger made his
sppearance at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
dcpot and asked Brother Koontz how long before
the Bladensburg train would go out
In shout twenty minutes" was the reply.
Then III have time to get drink: won't ]? ?"
You Will"
That's good always prefer to travel on a stiff
horn of whisky"
He returned in five minutes, wiping his mouth
OIL the back of his hand, and asked:
." Has my train gone yet?"
NO. sir; you still have fourteen minutes to
sjare."
That's good; guess I'll go back for.a little
brandy"
When he again returned he felt in good spirits.
ami ascertaining that he still had six minutes to
spare, he said:
Now that's what ! call liberal, and I'll lay in
enc more drink"
The last one proved more than he could bear up
under. and he was not seen again for three hours.
Then he came around with wobble in his gait
and an uncertain look in his eyes, and asked:
Shay, what time does that Bladensburg train go
Oat?'
In about four hours"
"Fo' hours? Why that-n give me time to get
drunk agin; mos 'conimOdatin' railroad ever
saw eh?'
"YeS"
Shay. don't want to be mean. You needn't
wait for me any longer, cause 'tmay delay others.
He's zhentleman. ne is, and I'm zhentleman. /
