The Cincinnati Fire,

CINCINNATI, OHIO, Dec. % The fire
at Strobel's picture frame mandatory
this morning not only caused Overwhelm-
ing loss, but resulted in disaster to the
fremen that is appalling. When Captain
Bray was lost in the building and burned,
it was hoped this would be the only
casualty After the fire had been raging
for some time wall fell on the east sill ,
of the structure, and the tiremen barely
escaped in time. Then, shortly after
warg the north wall fell outward in front
of Il. On lumber pile were Il number
v9hfemen to whom escape was impOssi-
BILE, and the brave men seemed doomed
to death. As soon as the wall had fallen,
<other firemen rushed in to rescue their
comrades. and soon eXtricated
Firemen Morton, Anderson, John
Flaherity, George Bushing and
Thomas Hunt, who were all
injured and were sent to the hospital.
Later Firemen Davis and John Mcclure
were also recovered and sent to the hos
pital, although their injuries were not
apparently serious. John White, also
injured, is at the hospital 1t was found
that Anderson and Mcclure were quite
seriously hurt internally. Bushing was
also badly hurt. The others received
painful but not serious woundsy 1t is
thought the fire started i'll the five7stOry
in small varniSh room, and can Only be
accounted for on the theory of spontane-
Gus combustion. As far rs known there
was no fire about the establishment after
8 o CLOCK.
The front half of the building was not
injured by the fire. This reduces the
original estimate of loss from 500 900 to
S75 600. The insurance will probably
reach SIS 900. The injured all Going
well except George Bushkamp, not Bush
ing, who is supposed to be fatally in
jured.

Chicngo Fighting the Pngilists.

CHICAGO, Ill. Dec. % Another step
was taken in the injunction suit brought
TO prevent the police from interfering
with Kilrain and Mitchell in their public
sparring matches at the Casino on the
ground that they are not sparring
matches, but merely exhibitions of the
poetry of motion as taught by Delsarte.
On application on behalf of the city to-
day Judge Altgeld modified the injunc-
ton by the addition of the words, "but
this writ is not to prevent the defendants
or other officers of the law from doing
their duty under the law in case there
shall be any violation of the laws of the
state or the city of Chicago -
Under this modification Chief Hubbard
thinks he has right to stop any sparring
exhibitions which are in violation of the
city ordinances and says in case the mani
agement of the Casino persists he will not
only arrest the principles, but Mayor
Roche will revoke the license of the thea
ter. Mr.. Hubbard adds that he propos es
to arrest the pugilists for violatingthe law
on the two nights on which they have
spared.

Special to the Gazette,
WILLS POINT, Ten. Dec. % Some
parties entered the saloon of R. F. Will
liams last night by breaking out pane
of glass from the rear window and then
raising the sash. They took what cash
was in the drawer, only a few dollars,
and then set fire to the building in two
places, as was evident from appearances.
One place was near some powder III key,
and also a keg of brandy, and Il most
destructive fire would no doubt have
been the result had it not been
that the parties threw a heavy cloth upon
it, thinking it would burn easily, but
which had the effect to smother the fire
and thus prevented any great damage.
When Mr.. Williams entered the saloon
this morning he found it full of smoke and
upon examination made the aforesaid
discoveries.
The fine dwelling of Mr.. j. NJ. Ly-
brand, cashier of the Wills Point bank
caught fire yesterday, but the fire was
discovered in time to be eXtinguished be-
fore any damage was done.

MESQUITE, Ten, Dec 22.-William
Cumby, highly respected citizen of this
place, died at his son IS in Dallas to-day.
He had gone on visit to his son s, was
taken sick and died very suddenly. He
came to Texas from Illinois eight years
ago and had made one of Dallas county's
citizens He will be buried tomorrow
by Scyene Lodge a. F. and A. NJ. of

News was received here to-day that
Charlie Hortan, young man of good
standing living near Seagoville, in this
county, had made an attempt to end his
life by jumping into the East Fork and
by cutting each arm just above the
hands He left home on his horse to
take a ride. Soon after he left his horse
came back with a note tied to the saddle,
which was to his mother, stating that he.
had decided to take his own life and that
they would find his body in the river.
Parties were at once sent to the river,
where they found him, not yet dead.
He was taken home and nursed back to
life Ill health and the death of
brother, which was caused by being
thrown from horse some two years
ago, are given as the causes which led
him to attempt the rash act.

Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, Ten. Dec. %. - Tonight
abou It 6:45 an alarm of fire was turned
in from box A., and it proved to be the
well-known Bogel hotel. From some
cause or other the department had some
difficulty in locating the fire, whether
from a defective alarm or not, is not
known. AT any rate, when the de-
partment arrived at the scene
the fire had gained a good head
way and the streams had but
little, effect, so great was the heat.
The seventy-five guests escaped safely but
very few of them saved any of their eff
fects. One brave little boy jumped from
the second story window, but was caught
by his mother who was below and the
only damage sustained was a
somewhat painful bruise in the
lady Is foot. The flames soon enveloped
the whole building and then caught Mrs.
Fannie Spellman three small buildings
west of the hotel, on Ross avenue, all of
which were totally destroyed.
AT one time it seemed that general
cOnflagration would ensue, and matters
were made worse by the bursting of the
hose lOf one of the streams playing
OH the fire. The residences opposite
the hotel on Ross avenue and Oleander
street were kept wet by buckets and
small hose, and by this means the spread
of the fire was prevented. About 5000
people gathered to see the fire and for
tunately no one was hurt. The guests
scattered about through the city
toL5ftnd accommodations The orr
sg4 of the fire is unknown, but
Fupposed to have been caused by an eX-
plosiOn of u lamp III the second story
The CHESTS were all at supper, and con-
ssetflently the fire had made good head
way before it was detected. Two
gentlemen who were driving to the city
from West Dallas stated that they
saw the fire ten minutes before
the alarm was given. The BOgel
hotel was the property of Mr.. Ben Cof-
man. About two weeks ago under a
writ of sequestratiOn he elected H. V.
Padfield, who was then running the no
tel. Up to two days ago the sheriff was
conducting the hotel, when Mr.. Coffman
gave an indemnity bond of $50 900 and
took charge himself. The building is es-
timated at $40 200 and the furniture at
SIS 900. There was SIG 800 insurance
on the building, and $40 900 on the fnr-
niture.
Mrs Fannie B. Spellman IS loss is esti-
mated at $500, mostly covered by insur-
ance.
The BOgel hotel has for years been one
of the most popular hostelries of the
state, and with the exception of the
Beach hotel ut Galveston, was the finest
frame building in Texas.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Dec. % A dis
patch from Fort Assinaboine, MINI. +,
says all the troops at this post, six COM
panies of infantry and three of cavalry,
are out on the prairie west of the post
fighting fire which started in the tall
grass six miles west about o clock in the
evening and steadily advanced in the
direction of the post. The wind is thirty
miles an hour and as the appliances for
fighting fire are limited it is feared the
garrison buildings which are all frame
structures will be destroyed. The loss in
such case will be heavy as besides the
officers quarters and barracks of the en-
listed men, The quartermaster' barns
contain a large quantity of hay and other
forage provided for winter. AT 3 CLOCK
this morning the wind was blowing the
blazing grass into the garrison inclosure
in punches and the prospects for
saving the post were not very encourag-
