A POOR-HOTsE HORROR,
Burned TO eath-Othsrs WIN DE

Five Inmates of Michigan Asylum
Burned to Death-Others VIII Die.
The countypoor-house near Jackson.
Mich, was almost entirely DESTROYED
by IRE early on the morning OF the
oath. There were forty inmates, and
al escaped but five, who persisted IN the
flames. The dead are as follows. Mrs
o. Atkinson, from Grass Lake, aged
-, an inmate for twenty-four years;
Katherine Avery, from Columbia
aged n, an inmate for ten years
Melissa Martin, from Spring Harbor,
aged %, an inmate for fourteen years;
LIna BOynton, from Jackson. aged
%, an inmate for three years;
Charles Elliot, blind, from Jackson,
aged Z 3, and only an inmate since De-
cember L, 1885. The building i sit
uaUed IN a lonely spot about four
miles from the city. 1t was recently
built at acost fS12, 900. The fire, the
origin OF which is unknown, broke out
IN the inmates kitchen, and the whole
interior was destroyed. The ther-
memeter at the time registered 10 de-
grees below zero. All the inmates lost
their clothing, rushing out into tie
snow IN a naked condition. Thirty Of
the paupers were taken to jackson
and housed. Some OF these viii die
from the effects OF the exposure they
were subjected to. John Doherty, the
hired man, brought three OF the luna
tics down the fre-escape IN his arms,
thus saving their lives An I'M
beclle boy, 19 years OF age,
was found IN bed and was res
cued by means OF the fire-escape.
There were only two men, besides the
inmates, about the place when the fire
broke out and they rescued the in
mates before other help arrived. VIM.
Mills, one OF the inmates, was the man
who first issued Sanders spelling book.
At one time he was worth quarter Of
a million dollars. The fire was discov-
cred soon after midnight, the kitchen
being found mass OF flames, the fire
seeming to have started from a defect
I've chimney. Help was sent from
Jackson, and the work of secur-
ing the remains Of the victims
was at once begun, resulting In
the recovery Of the FIVE horribly
chaTred bodies. which could only be
identified by their positions in the
ruins. Much trouble was experienced
IN rescuing those who were saved, as
many OF them resisted all efforts in
their behalf. By the time they were
out OF the building it was useless to
fight the flames, such headway having
been gained that the building and most
OF the contents were soon in ashes.
The only fire apparatus about the
place was some hose connected with
an empty reservoir.

Va.-Thirfy-seven Lives Believed TO
Have Been Lost-Sames of the
Victims.

i dispatch Of the Z1st from Wheel
nz, " Va. says: 4 2:45 O'Clock
this afternoon an explosion OF fire
rp occurred IN The shaft ofrheNew-
s--- Cl=. Coal Company, n. Va,
which shook the buildings In the i'm
mediate vicinity and caused conster-
nation and alarm among the relatives
and trends Of the miners employed
there. Immediately following the
sound Of the explosion a fame OF fire
arose far above the mouth Of the
shaft and timber and debris OF all
kinds we're strewn around. Great ex-
element eneQe6 and crowds OF people
hurried to the spot The shaft II
which the exp osion occurred was sunk
about Two years ago and has reached
depth Of $50 feet. From the base Of
the shaft the main heading runs out
about hall mile, where the narrow
rooms dIverge from either side
The theory advanced as to the cause
Of the explosion Is that fre-damp had
accumulated n OneOf theseTOOms and
was accidentally lgnIted by a miner
lamp but nothing positive has yet been
learned. The force Of the explosion
, blocked the air 50 close that no one
would venture II the main heading to
ascertain the fate Of the imprisoned
meE until Al air passage could Be es-
tabllshed- This work l. being pushed
vigorously. Up to midnight no bodies
nave been recovered. i Is supposed
that thlrty-seven men are imprisoned.
lhe pTevaIang opinion ls that all are
dead, although a few express the hope
that some of them NAV have esca ped
the effect Of the explosion. and have
been able 70 reach a place ice from
the fatal black damp which always
follows an explosion ofthls kind. The
