the fire. The woman's face and body are
horribly burned, the flesh being scared and
charred almost TO crisp. She was between
60 and 70 years of age, and has been an in
valid for some time. 1t is thought the lamp

An Unfounded Reoort.

The report of the death of Hon. Frank
Jones of Portsmouth was unfounded. The
rumor may have had its origin in the desire
of some persons to influence the price Of
certain stocks in which Mr. Jones is largely
interested, and which would probably be
affected by the news of his death. The Bos-
ton Post of Saturday morning says;
Hon. Frank Jones, who has been so severely ~
at the Quincy House, has so far recovered that
his physicians think he will be able to start on
trin to Florida i'm the course Of q few weeks.

THE FIRE RECORD.
The American House In Boston Badly
Danaoed

Boston, March Ga serious fire was dis
covered in the American House, a large five
story hotel on Hanover street, at l o'clock
this afternoon, and an alarm was rung in
from Box 81. The fire started in the mattress
room on the fifth floor, and spread with
great rapidty. On this floor were some II
boarders, and the aspect of things was so
serious as to necessitate their removal. The
location of the fire was in the rear OF the
east wing, and was very difficult OF access by
the liremen. second alarm was sounded
Immediately after the tirst and a third alarm
quickly followed. The fire quickly spread
through the servants quarters and the attic
of the northeast wing and to the guests
rooms below, but was confined to these three
floors of that wing. The loss by the fire and
water, which was under control at $50
O'Clock, will be about $50,000, of which $40,
coo is upon the building and $4,000 upon the
furniture. The loss to guests however, can
not yet be learned. The building is insured
for 100000, and there is $4,000 insurance
upon furniture.
The American House property is owned
by the Augustus Hemenway heirs, and the
hotel has for forty years been under the
management of the late Lewis Rice and his
son. Henry B. Rice. Before the fire was
finally subdued it had crossed the alley way
and for short time threatened the main
structure.
Assistant District Attorney Dacey vastly

wing, and was removed with great difficulty
owing to the dense smoke. Several guests,
in addition to numerous servants occupied
apartments in the wing, and all lose their

Twisted Prairie Hay.

Out on the lsoundless prairie,
With never a tree in sight,
with landscape lone and dreary,
In the bitter winter night.
With nothing to break the wind-storms
Sweeping over the way;
we almost despair Of keeping warm
With twisted prairie hay.
Our hay is the famous blue stem,
And makes the best of feed;
1t covers the barn and granery,
And supplies another need
For we twist it UP like friedcakes,
AS large as stick OF wood.
And keep the fires a burning,
While our women cook the food,
Coal is brought by the railroad
Almost to cur very door,
But clothes and food we all must have,
And the peopley ou know are poor.
Repining won't help us any,
So we live as best we may,
And keep our fires a-burhing,
With twisted prairie hay.
In summer we easily manage
10 get up sufficient heat
70 wash and iron, and bake and cook
Whatever we want TO eat;
| But our memories wander backward,
Der the lapse of many a day,
As we sit by the stack IN the sunshine
A-twistig the prairie hay.
| We think of times by the camp fires,
Listning to soldiers tales,
When we kept the fires a-burning
With coniiscated rails;
So many comrads surely.
Who live IN the West to-day,
Are keeping the home fires burning
With twisted prairie hay.
