a Man Pours Coal Oil Down an
Eneny's Chimney.
Seven Men Burned in a Shocking
Manner.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 5.--Shortly after ten
o'clock last night sudden burst of flame en-
veloping shanty near the railroad tracks
was discovered. Those who ran to the spot
heard most heartrending cries from the burn
ing building. The door was forced in and
then two men staggered out, their clothes
ablaze. Several other men were dragged out
unconscious, and rolled about on the snow.
The faces of the victims were blackened,
and long strips of burned flesh peeled off pre-
senting horrible sight. Seven men were
taken out of the building, and when they all
got together in the depot, their means and
groans were pitiful to hear. 1t seems that
they had strolled in one by one to the shanty
to warm up and were sitting around the
stove talking, when the stove seemed to
burst open, and flames went about the room
eRveloping them before they coald turn
toward the door. They could only beat
about with their hands and struggle with
one another in an endeayor to get TO the
door. This impeded their escape. They re-
membered very distinctly that they smelled
coal oil as the flames burst out around them.
The strange manner in which the fire start
ed can only be accounted for on the ground
that some one poured oil down the chimney.
1t is said that the man who did the deed is
known, as he had a grudge against one of the
men, and had threatened him. On the
ground was found tin can that evidently
held coal oil. All the men are badly burned,
but it is not known whether or not fatally.
The crime was committed at the instigati0n
of, or by an unfriendly gang of workmen.

Professionals at panforth.

When White Brothers of Danforth opened
their door Thursday morning they found a
window broken out of the rear of the build
ing and the front of safe which stood in
the floor all smashed in pieces by charge of
powder which had been put into a hole
drilled below the combination. The safe
was new one and contained no money. On
examining their own safe they found small
holes drilled into it, one of which was
charged, but had not been fired. Their
money drawer was torn open and about 70
cents in coppers taken. No goods were miss
ing. Henry III. Putnam of the same town,
on entering his store found the rear door
open and the iron box in his safe torn out
The safe was not locked, as he only kept his
day book, ETC., in it, taking his cash and
ledger to the house with him at night. His
money drawer was not touched, nor could he
discover any goods missing. Lowell & Muir
docks machine shop was broken into and a
bit-stOck and chisel stolen, which were found
at White Brothers store. Papers were found
at White Brothers near the safe, which may
be clue to the robbers. They only OBJ
tanned 75 cents or so for their nights work.
They were professional safe robbers, as the
drilling indicated.

Of a neat practical joke in Washington
county town the other day. He was to give
an exhibition one afternoon and had the
material for his bonfire all ready to light
and his grenades in the hotel Office ready for
use. Some time previous tC the time for the
exhibition some commercial travellers OBJ
tanned possession of the six grenades which
were to be used, opened the bottles. turned
out the fluid contained, put in kerosene oil
and closed up the bottles again. The hour
arrived and the agent took the grenades and
carried them out to the place where the ex-
hibitOn was to take place, large crowd OF
people having gathered. He made little
preliminary speech telling the people how
beautifully the grenades would work, lighted
his bonfire and as soon as the fire was rag
ing fiercely, threw in his grenades one after
another with great force. To say that he
was dumb-founded at the result would be
expressing it mildly for the fire, Of course,
burned with redoubled yigor. AS soon as
the confusion of the agent was complete the
fellows who had perpetrated the joke came
forward with some genuine grenades and
quickly eXtinguished the fire and their
spokesman then made neat little speech TO
the crowd explaining matters.

a SEVERE BLOW.
Wilton Visited by Very Serious Con-
fiagraticn.
The Wilton Record office, Odd Fell
lows Hall, &C., In Ruins.

FARMINGToN, Feb. 5.-Wilton was visited
by large fire last night. The fire was dis
covered about eight o'clock in Palmer's grist
mill and it spread with surprising velocity
to the Sawyer building adjoining soon in
volving the whole structure in a mass of
flames. Sawyer's building is large modern
block partly brick and partly wood, two
stories with Mansard roof and iS.the best
building in town. 1t was occupied on the
first floor by W. E. Sawyer & Co., dry goods,
and general merchandise; on the second
story by the news and job Office of the Will
ton Record, Rev. r. A. Herrows proprietor,
and the third story by the Odd Fellows
Hall.
The origin of the fire is supposed to have
been hot box in the grist mill. The losses
and insurance as nearly as can be learned
are as follows:
E. Palmer. grist mill, machinery and large
w. E. Sawyer & Co., building $4500; insured
about $4,000. Goods valued from $1,000 to $4,000.
Partly saved; insured S1100.
r. A Morrow, presses, printing material. ETC.,
valued at 2300; a small amount of type was saved
in bad condition. Three presses and most of the
other material is a total loss insured only $500.
The Odd Fellows saved part of their furniture
they had also some insurance.
The fire has cast gloom over the whole
community, as it is serious blow to the bus
mess of the place. The proprietors are how
ever, looking about to see where they can
reopen.
The Wilton Record has already engaged
rooms in Grams block and will be published
as heretofore.

A Case that is Becoming Noted in
Rutland VT

RUTLAND Vt, Feb 5.-The session Of the
supreme court for Rutland county closed to-
day, and decision was given by Chief JUS
tice Royce in the famous O'Neil liquor case,
affirming the Judgment of the county court.
John O'Neil was driven out of this State by
liquor prosecutions. He then started sa-
loon in Whitehall, N. Land shipped liquors
in jugs to Rutland by express, &c. 0. D."
As the Rutland saloons were mostly closed
by active prosecutions he did thriving bus
mess. In December, 1882, just before Christ
mas, large number Of sealed jugs were
seized on the arrival of the train and O'Neil
was afterward caught in this State and SEN
fenced on 307 convictions for the second Of
fense of selling liquor to a fine of $6,140 and
costs with two months imprisonment, with
an alternate sentence Of over 30 days in the
House of Correction. He appealed, and on
the argument before the supreme court of
the county in January, 1884, the judges stood
tie. At the general term there was another
tie. three against three. Since then, howev-
er. Judge Redfield resigned and Judge Walk
er succeeded him so that the tie was broken
and a result reached. The decision holds
that the sending of liquor from New York to
customers in Vermont by express, &c. 0. d.
is in legal effect the sale of that liquor and
that the express company is agent of the sell
Ter and not the purchaser IN Vermont.
O'Neil will take the case to the United States
Supreme Court on a writ of error, claiming
that the decision is against the regulation of
the constitution in relation to commerce.
