THE MILWAUKEE HOLOCAUST.
Taking of Testimony Commenced Be-
fore the C0roner's Jury.

MILWAUKEE, January 23.-The inquest
10 the Newhsll House case commenced this
morning. The first testimony read was that
of Blocker, manager of the Tom Thumb
Company, who escaped from the burning
building, and had sent in written deposi-
ton, which, however, threw no light upon
the cause Of fire or condition of the building.
Landlord Antisdel was also examined, but
could give no explanation of the cause but
that the fire was the work of an incendiary.
When aroused tie fire had got such head
way that all he could do was to save himself
and family. When the latter we're safe he
wanted to return into the building, but was
prevented by his sons. He noticed very
strepg smell of gas aud unbearable heat.
This leads him TO believe that the person
who SET FIRE 10 the hotel had turned on the
gas, and that the explosion OF the latteI
spread the fire with lightning rspidity
through all parts of the building.
