situation and Immediately took steps to
have her principal street severed and paved,

been lot to responsible parties, the work is
well under way, and in few weeks she can

belonging to the "Hermanos Penitentes,n

periodical atonement of sin by innicting on
their bodies agonizing tortures. They were

prevent the discovery Of their identity, all

nual penance the devotees often travel hum
dreds of miles to undergo the prescribed
fortunes. Los Griegos, a small Mexican
village near Albuquerque, boasts OF the
great body of the penitent. Yesterday
morning their ceremonies were begun BY a
procession, containing about thirty men
and women. The process of publication by
torture began at 10 o'clock. Five men,
naked to the waist barefooted and wearing
black robes and hoods, that completely cor

The Fire.

About l:S0 o'clock this morning, the resi-.
dence of j. Rothchild, the third house on
the west side of Browder street, south of
Marilla street, was discovered to be ON fire.
Jimmie Pace and Fred Guebor first saw
the hre and gave the alarm, which was re.
peated from the down town station, and
the iiremen turned out promptly and did
good work, though his residence and that
occupied by Herman Goslin and the prop.
erty OF Mr.. Holden, both one.story
frames were destroyed, yet the iiremen did
good work in saving adjoining property.
The household goods OF Ro,hchild were
most all saved, rs was that of
Goslin, though no and his
family barely escaped alive. The
tre originated In the cellar Of Rothchid's
house and the flames emanated from the
standing water In the cellar, which shows
there was oil or some such substance on
top. Of II. The house In which
Rothchild lived was insured for
$500, hut he puts his loss at $500 In the
burning of his residence and furniture
broken up. Goslin did not, so far as could
be learned, have any insurance. II is the
general impression that II was the work of
an incendary.
