FRIGHTFUL CALAMITY.
Burning of a POOrhOuse and Its
Helpless Inmates,
Fifteen Persons, Unable to Escape,
Lose Their Lives.

A dreadful calamity has happened at Hart
ford, Mich. The Van Buren County poor
house was partially destroyed by fire AMI
fifteen of the inmates lost their lives.
The county buildings comprised largo
two story frame structure, with a wing on
the east side, and a two story addition ex-
tending to the south; new building, oecu
pied lately for the service department AMI
a building beyond known as the Jail, the
first floor of which was occupied by
the superintendent, Mr.. Cash, and
his family, and the upper story was occupied
by the hired help In thu jail were confined
the idiotic and violent insane. The newer
building had no occupants. The addition to
the main building contained better class of
patients, and it was here that the loss Of life
occurred.
The first alarm was ate clock, when a man
nam5d Halsay, sleeping i'll the main building,
was arou ed b. the cries of the inmates of
tie addition He ran to the door leading
from the hall and opened it. As he did so
the famas burst out into bis face, almost
overp 5wering him. He managed to shut
the deer again and give the alarm. This
fortunate move enabled those IN the front
part of the structure. which burned rapidly,
to escape with their lives, AMI that Is all. The
jail did not Immediately catch fire, having a
detached building between it and the princ-
pal structure, so there was plenty of time to
get the inmates out. Nothing was saved from
the supe,intendents quarters, however, but
Miss Ca.h, daughter of the superintendent
who was i'll from typhoid fever, AMI was re-
moved t. place OF safety.
The patients who perished were all in one
wing, and most of them were smothered in
their beds, though after the fire several were
found together. Only one of the bodies was
recogni able. All that could be found of ths
other fourteen bodi,s WAS put into one box,

Six Wen Killed by the Explosion Of

At 11:39 A. NJ. terrible explosion occurred
in the boiler-room of the Whitney Mar5le
company's works about a mile from Gouvern-

and it contained two boilers of fifty horse
power each. The boilers had been out Of re-

Watsrtown, had been sent on to fix them. Their
work was nearly completed, and when steam
was ma lie the gauges marked ninety pounds
on one and fifteen pounls on the other.

with the lowest pressure when it exploded
with a tremendous report. Both men Were

There are so many ways to utilize stale

plan to follow in all uses of sour milk, as
1t seldom contains enough acid to entirely
counteract the soda. OF course. when
only small quantit of sour milk is used
twice as much cream tartar Us soda should
be taken, for when the milk is entirely
sweet the proportions are three even tea
spoontuls OF cream tartar to one of soda.
