Inc batCle ot MaJela Mountain 4
In her latest South African conflict
the cause Of England seems to 60 from
bad to worse. Her forces suffered on

the circumstances OF the case, that has
been inflicted upon them in that part Of
the world. By the slaughter at Isandu-
10 they lost more men but that was hard

barbarian that came down at nightfall
and swept away British regiment with
such sudden vigor that there was even
no opportunity to fight. Ia the present
case there is clearly defined plan,
definite and ordinary military operation,
In which the enemy's men are better
handled and better fought, and owe an
overwhelming victory to legitimate mill
tarv superiority.

But by the time the reinforcemen,s were

Mention was made in this paper Of q
FIRE Monday night in the new National
Bank building at East Liverpool. This
fire destroyed all the sleeping apartments
In the building, and as consequence a
four story. frame building was pretty
we'll 6lled up with families. They had
hardly got snugly domiciled in their
new quarters when another heart-sick-
ening, roasting FIRE broke out and burn.
ed the entire building to the ground.--
This occurred early yesterday morning.
The fire started 10 drug store in the
lower story and before the occupants
Of the upper story we're aware of it, the
whole Of the lower portion of the house
vas wrapped in flames. Fortunately all
the occupants escaped except Mr.. VIM
Sloan With bis family of wife and sew
en- children, and brother-in-lsw, q Mr.
Skeels of Harrison county, and who
only arrived in town Monday, to pay
them visit. These people we're sleep
ing in the room just over the drug store,
and when Mr.. Sloan awakened the stair
ways we're burned away, and escape by
that means cut of. Turning to the
front OF the building, be told his wife
{ with babe in arms and children to fol-
low him, and leaped to the ground
The wife and children we're either over
come by the flames and sitting fumes
from the drug store, or failing to get
the children 10 jump, preferred death
with them. for they all persisted. When
The debris was cleared away The body OF
Mrs. Sloan was found with her babe in
her srms, and both burned nearly to .
crisp. Around them we're hnddled the
bodies of the other five children, oil
having hustled into one corner, and died
ss close to the mother as they could
cling. Mr.. Skeels was sleeping 10 a
back room, and probably never knew of
the danger until escape was impossible.
The scenes at the ruins we're heart
rending, and hegesr description. The
bodies have oil been recovered. The
names OF The unfortunate ones are:
Mrs VIM. Sloan, aged 81 years. il
Luella Sloan, aged Is.

Another daughter. aged only eighteen
months. E SD ri

unfortunate woman. ~
When Mr.. Sloan learned certainly that
his wife and the balance of the family
left in the room had persisted, be hob
bled about fiantically with broken leg
until be finally became unconscious. and
wss carried to the home of q neighbor,
where be was kindly cared for. Close
by him sat his little daughter. whom be
had taken infhis arms in his fearful leap
for fife, and she the only one left him
out of a family of seven children. The
headless and limbless bodies ofthe dead
