going among the real estate men OF
Csceola with the obtensible intention
OF buying property he was courteous
ly received and shown many bar
gains. Thursday morning he picked
out a lot near the new depot, on
which to build tonsorial parlor, he
being a barber by trade. This done
he now desired residence property.
| After looking about town, he was
finally suited, and in company with
| the real estate agent repaired to the
court house to investigate the title TO
the property. Stepping into the Of

any abrupt inqurv would reveal his

Angry at a Spy.

Professor Ryder, who read French
with Gordon when that hero was in
command of the fort at Gravesend, re-
Jates that one day an ex-oficer of the
Chinese Legion presented himself at the
Fort House. and asked to see the Gen
eral. On his card being given to Cor
don, he threw it from him with disgust,
and his anger was so great that for few
seconds he was speechless. When he
was somewhat calmer, he expressed his
feelings in the following words: "Iell
that man to enter if he wishes me to
blow out his brains. This would seem
gioIent. but when it is known that the
officer in question had deserted his
coiors and joined the rebels against
whom Gordon was lighting in China,
the righteous indignation of the General
can he understood. The servant, who
knew his master, repeated his message
word for word, and the officer took his
leave as quickly as possible.

About 8 O'Clock Wednesday evening, as an

Just above the stage, drOp-hy took fire from
a defective burner. In an instant the whole
stage was in flames, and six minutes later the
entire building was burning The McCaull

keTchief and the company had had
most OF their trunks brought to the
Dnlldlng, and these were consumed also. Very
few persons had arrived to witness the per-
formance and all escaped without injury.
An hour later the St. Louis Roman Catholic
Church, at the rear of Music Hall, took fire,
and 1t was soon evident the magnificent edifice
was doomed.
Two citizens, George Smith and Joseph
Green, assembled ladders in front Of the church
for the purpose of assisting the firemen in
directing the work. The building burned
rapidly and the firemen and Smith hastily left
the roof which they had reached but
Green remained behind, and frantically rushed
to the cupOla, climbing it in full view Of the
thousands Of spectators and clambered to the
lightning rod, but returned and rushed to the

needless of the cries OF the tiremen, who had
tarpauin stretched for him to jump into,
made for the tower and from it hung by his
hands fully ten minutes.
An attempt was made to reach him with a
ladder, but was unsuccessful, owing to
the network of telegraph wires surround
ing the building. At this time the en-
tire front of the church was enyel-
oped in flames and for time dense
smoke hid the imperilled man from
view. When the smoke cleared away be was
seen to be still clinging to the edge of the
roof. Then he lunged forward, let go his hold
on the roof and fell. His feet struck the lower
roof as he fell. and turning over he struck on
his head and was instantly killed.
At $50 o'clock the tower Of Music Hall fell
in with crash and in a few minutes after the
front walls fell into the street. The south wall
remained in tact. The fire was confined to
Music Hall and the church.
