A News special has the following of the
Milwaukee holocaust: THE building has
long been known as the death-trap, and only
required half an hour to completely envel-
op it in flames. 1t had eighty-six employees
mostly lodged in the sixth story. Eight hun
dred guests can be accommodated. Exit by
the roof was impossible on account of the
fire, and for some reason the two stand
pipes and fire ladders were not
available. Ben Hall, fireman, was crushed
under a large, heavy cornice, but was quickly
gotten out from under the red-hot plates of
galvanized iron, very seriously, but not IA
tally, hurt The department fought heroi-
cally, but were only able to prevent the
spread of the flames. The hook and ladder
companies were most active and saved about
twelve people by well-directed efforts.
The morgue was hideous sight. Two
small biers were soon filled with bodies
tightly packed, and then the bodies of girls,
women and men were laid promiscuously on
the stone flags almost in heap, as the patrol
brought in bodies three or four at time.
In the American express Office Allen John
son and wife lay stretched or the hard floor,
evidently dying (since dead). They were
forced to jump from window of the third
floor, blanket held to catch Them but was
too weak, and their backs were injured so
terribly that cries of pain were wrung from
them. Edward Pollock, of Lancaster, awaken
ed nearly as soon as the flames broke out,
gathered his clothes, swung from the balco-
ny on the fourth floor to that beneath where
others were, and by means of knotted bed
clothes all were rescued.

Sad Death.

We recently chronicled the COM
mitment to the Insane Asylum at
Warm Springs of Mrs. A. G. Han
child of this city. Three weeks ago,
as a result of childbirth, Mrs. Han
child became afflicted with %puerperal
insanity, her mania being a strange
aversion to her friends and relatives
and a total ignoring Of the child she
had brought into life. Her disease
rapidly assumed the form of a high
state OF nervous excitement, entire
sleeplessness and at times a tendency
to violence which made it necessary
to place her under the treatment and
restraint of the asylum. Remedies
there, however, failed to produce any
material change in her condition.
and yesterday her physical sys-
tenn succumbed to the long
strain upon it, and her spirit took its
flight to the land where there are no
infirmities of the body to cloud the
reason or destroy the sweetness of
eternal rest. Her husband, Mr.. j.
r. Hauchild, 10 left with a great
grief upon his heart; but with a
cherub babe to comfort and console
him, and many friends who will
sympathize with him in his bereave-
ment. The funeral will take place at
2 o'clock this afternoon from the resi-
dence OF Mr.. J. Thrailkill, on Lower
Montana street.

Dance in Livingston.

Nell Stanley's dance last Saturday
night ended with a most SAD and un-
fortunate instance of a class OF occur
FENCES that are becoming all to fire.
quent in Livingston, About one
O'clock that night while the dance
was going forward with full Zest, Jim
Stanley (Nell's husband, W. C. Nc
FarIane and several other men were
standing near the bar in the back
room about to take a drink at Nc
Farlane's expense. The two named
were facing each other and talking
together very pleasantly in
ali seeming, when sudden
ly the sound of a shot was
heard, and Stanley cried out, my
God, I'm shot," at the same time
placing his hand upon his right groin
and plainly %evidenciAg by symptoms
of rain in that locality, where he had
been hurt. The dance ended quickly,
and for a moment all was confusion
in the house, but in u little time
Stanley was taken to his room and
placed under DIR. Campbell's care.
Among those present there was
much uncertainty, or rather lg-.
norance, IN regard to the origin f
the shot. as no gun had been drawn,
and many were inclined to the opin-
ion that Stanley had shot himself.
The doubt was resolved shortly, how
ever, by the arrest of Mr.. McFarla!.e,
and his admission that his gun had
gone off accidentally rs it lay in his
coat rocket with the hammer raised;
He was lodged in the lookup aid

was entirely accidental and evidently
