NEW York, Jan. 1.-The discov-
ry of u dessl ted city sixty miles
long cut ont of the rocky face Of q
winding cliff, has rewarded the ef-
forts OF the Stevenson Smithson-
ian Institute exploring party dur
ing its researches In New Mexico
and Arizona during the past seas-
SOD. This is by far the most i'm
portant find yet made among the
scient haunts Of the Cliff Dweiler.
{. Some Of the houses contain four or
i've dwellings, one on top Of the
other, aud on the plateau above the
cliff were found many ruins OF
temples of worship built of we'll
cut square stones. A comparison
OF the collections of pottery aud
implsm ents gathered in the
cliff HOUSES by the exploring
party with those obtained
in the Pueblo villages strengthens
the belief that the Pueblo Indians
are the degenersied Descendants OF
the once powerful race that built
the ruined cities Of the plains and
then retreaiiug before some more
warlike foe. the cliff dWelers
carved cut these s;Dg gular d weliiHgs
on the sheer walls Of dizzy preci-
pices and found in them it may be
for centuries b,th lortresses and
homes Perhaps the .ieroglypEsc
Inscriptions seen by Mr. Stevenson
will some day be d-cipherei aud
be found to contain the tragic bis.
tory of the wasting away by wais
and fsmines Of this ili-fated people
who, like the Coneys of the Bible,
made the rocks their refuge.

BRADFORD, Pa. Jan. IA large
frame boardipg-house Of Garrett
Abers, near Richburg, N. Y, was
destroyed by fire at one O'Clock
this morning. Gas from an oil
we'll was used as fuel In the cook
ing stove, and an unexpected press
ure set the kitchen on fire. Owing
to the general sickness in the house
there were few boarders, and no.
body in the vicinity of the kitchen.
Mrs. Abers was eick with q fever
Ia u front room up stairs. Her hus-
baud. who is 20 years Of aye, was
sitting by her bedside, and from
his prolonged watching was about
exhausted and fell asleep. He
was fret awakened: by the smoke,
and discovered that the entire rear
part OF the building was In
flames. Selling his wife he car
ried her out and laid her down in
the snow ia her light clothes. He
then went back TO awaken the
three children, who were sleeping
In o rear room up stairs, but could
not reach them. There were two
girls aged 13 and IL years, and q
boy aged 10. Their legs. arms and
heads were burned off and their
trunks blackened and charred.
Several persons down stairs were
also dangerously burned in maxi
ing their escape. The physicians
think Mrs. Abers will die from ex-
p0sure in the snow In connection
with the fire. MIR. Abers is nearly
insane with grief. In the destruc-
ton of his house he has lost all his
property.

CLEVELAND, O Jan. 2.-During
the knights of Pythias' festival at
bh0nesville, Tuscarora county,
last evening, the floor gave way,
precipltating the company, num-
bering over two hundred, to the
floor below. Two persons were in
stantly killed, ten fatally Injured,
and between seventy and eighty
more or less bruised or burned. The
building took fire almost instantly,
producing q scene of the widest
excitement. The lights were near
ly all extinguished, leaving the
shrieking, struggling mass of hu-
manity to grope their way from the
ruins almost 10 the dark. By
prompt action Of those who es-
capped unipjured and other citizens
sum moned by the terrible alarm,
the Gre was subdued, but not until
quite q number had been more or
less burned. The list Of killed and
wounded will number nearly one
hundred. The night was very cold
and the scene is described as fright
ful In the extreme. The names of
the killed and injured have not
