UNFORTUNATE CHRISTINA LUNTz
She Lights the Fire with Kerosene with
Probably Fatal Results.

She Lights the Fire with Kerosene with
Probably Fatal Results.
Another heartrending fatality occurred In
st. Paul yesterday, its details being the old
story OF the ignorant servant girl using
kerosene to light the fire. She was Ger
man, named Christiana Luutz. employed rs
domestic in the clearinghouse OF William
Esch, located ut the corner of Como an Far
rington avenues. In starting the fire at Z
O'Clock yesterday morning she took down the
coal oil lamp and poured quantity of the
fluid on the smouldering flames. In a mo-
ment shaft of flames burst out and en-
veloped the girl in its frightful and deadly
embrace. Her clothing caught FIRE
and she ran from the house literally
engulfed in the flames. uttering the
most pitiful screams. The cries
of the unfortunate female attracted the
members of the household and they went to
her assistance; but too late, it is feared, for
their services to be of any benefit. The girl
was found in the back yard with the clothing
burned from her almost roasted body, and
she was rolling over aud over on the bard ice
and snow. The sight presented almost beg
CARS description, the dreadful contact of the
flames having left her flesh raw aud bleeding
and in some parts almost falling from her
bones. She was tenderly conveyed to the
house, where all that medical skill could sug-
gest was done to ALLEVIATE her frightful suf-
f,rings, while the physicians gave it as their
opinion that she could not live.
She was about 81 years Of age, and has re-
sided in st. Paul for nearly two years, her
only Relative in the west being sister, who
resides in Iowa. 1t was at first proposed to
convey her to the hospital, but in view of her
condition, this was given up as impossible.

Prohibition vs.. High License.

10 the EQltOT OF tDe OlODe.
It was my privilege TO be present at the
temperance meeting in DR. D4ua's church
last Sunday evening, and as there was an
erroneous statement made by one Of the
speakers, desire TO correct it, also to give
proper credit to others who failed to obtain
It from the speakers. Mr.. Bushnell, in
speaking Of the good results Of high liceuse
IN our sister city, Minneapolis, said that one
blessing that it bad achieved was the organ
ization o. a Scandinavian reform club with
a membership Of 900. Now, for the in
formation Of Mr. Bushnell and all others,
allow me to state that said Scandinavian re-
form club (Which by the way ia mighty
factor in the Minneapolis temperance re-
formatioD) was organized some four years
ago.
Mr.. Cochran spoke with much earnestness
and pride OF the great benefits Of high
license there. but it took Dr.. Dana 10 wax
eloquent and picture 10 glowing colors the
triumphs Of high license legislation in our
sister city. Now, what are the facts
in the easel Simply these, tina;
high license has not gained any
great triumph in Minneapolis, but prohibit
toe has. DR.. Dana told Us that between 250
and 300 saloons had been closed there, but
where did he tell as the closing process had
been donel Why, outside Of tue regulsr
Police patrol, where they we're prohibited.
Nov add the go or 300 saloons that
are not bigh licensed out, but prohibited,

"That story in the Dispatch" said Chief Of
Police Clark yesterday In referring to an arti-
Gle In which Chief Black was made TO say thai
the police department had refused to make
any arrests in the supposed fire bug case on
East Seventh street, "was the offspring oil
the imagination Of a tattiug reporter, who
had n idea what he was talking about.
The fact is Chief Black didn't say anything
of the kind, but on the contrary he has cx-
pressed the hops that the police and fire de-
partments work together tremendously as
they always have done"
