SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Sept. IL
News of horrible catastrophe at Ra-
vine station twenty-five miles south of
here, has just reached this city. Satur-
day afternoon Callie, the fourteen
year old daughter of Byrd Smith, was
sent by her mother TO start a fire in the
cooking stove. The girl poured oil over
the Goals of fire and the kerosene can eX-
ploded, scattering the burning oil over
the girl and her two sisters and her
baby brother, who were standing around
the stove watching her. The mother,
hearing the screams of the children,
ran into the kitchen and found her four
children in a blaze. In her frantic
efforts to save them she was terribly
burned about the arms and face. The
children all died of their injuries in a
few hours. The father was away from
home at the time of the accident.

SPOKANE FALLS, W. T., Sept. To-
The ineendiarY fires on Sunday and
early yesterday morning have created
intense excitement and a vigilance
committee was formed last evening and
81 GOO reward offered for the capture of
any guilty person. All disreputable
characters were warned to leave town
under pain OF hanging. On Sunday
two fires were started in buildings
where no stoves were used. Early
Monday morning a big lodging house
was fired and the dodgers escaped with
great difficulty. One man is evidently
burned to death, as no trace of him can
be found. Soon afterward tour other
fires were started in different parts of
town. The cOnflagration in Pierce s
clothing house was well under way
when discovered, but hard work saved
much of the stock. Before the firemen
had left the building another alarm
was rung in, the fire being this time in
the Cottage hotel on Main street. Here
also the fire was well under way when
discovered and the boarderS had barely
time to escape with their lives. The
fire spread to the Nevada house and tC
a livery stable, both of which were de
strOyed. Last night the streets were
patTOlled by armed men and if the per.
SONS who set the fires can be caught
they will be promptly lynched. Saloons

Anotbsr RAvard for Tasoott

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-Mrs. Henrietta
Smell, widow of the murdered million
aire, Amos j. Smell, has to-day offered
a reward for the arrest of William b.
Tascott, charged with being the muir
derer. The reward offered IS double
that of the previous one, and is now
$50, 600. In addition, any clue which
may prove valuable in effecting his
capture will be literally paid fof, and a
mighty effort will be made to capture
the young man. About his guilt
there can be no doubt.
If he still lives there is every probable
ity that he will he betrayed and cap
tured. According to the stories of Tas-
colts Chicago friends, he was laxative
and gwen to recountin0 his various eX-
PLOTS at length. To his mistress, to
whom he went early on the morning of
the tragedy for money, he talked of the
deed, and it seems reasonable and GER
tain that he has cOnfided himself to
new-madG acquaintances. 1t IS for
them that the large reward is offered.
1t is believed that there will be iInme-
diate and sensational developments in
the case. Mr.. Stone, the son-in-law
said tonight that there is no special
reason for the increased reward other
than Mrs. Smell desired 90 bring her
husbands murderer to justice.

CATLErTsBURa, KY, Sept. 17.-An-
other raid was made by the McCoys on
the Hatfield settlement on Friday last
and, as usual. the West Virginians
were worsted. The following account
of the affair was given by Captain NJ.
b. Goble last night: The Mccoy
crowd made a raid yesterday and at
tempted to arrest one our innocent cit
liens, Richard Casey, person who
never had anything to do with the
trouble. They were stopped before
they succeeded. Their presence and
action so eDraged our nelghboRhoOd
that nearly every man on Peter creek
took his gun and went in pursuit.
They came upon the West Virginia
boys at Paw Paw mountain, where a
lively battle took place. In the melee
two of the West Virginians were
killed and two more badly wounded.
None OF the Kentucky boys we're in
jured. Our country is in a terrible
state of excitement just now. The
West Virginia boys say they will have
revenge in some way. The Kentuck-
ians are ready for them at any time.
just what will be the outcome OF the
fued no one can tell During the last
week the Virginians have raided
the Kentuckians twice and have lost
five men killed outright, while the old
commonwealth shows an unbroken
front.

The young Emperor seems to take de-

Pend Ends Forever.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 1S.-An
old feud between two prominent fami-
lies in Shelby county ended to-day in
the murder of George Turner at CoOsa
mountain, twenty miles east of this
city. The feud ends forever with this
tragedy. as Turner was the last male
representative of his family. Alexan-
der Mattock many years ago married
Turner's sister against the protests of
the Turner family, and out of this grew
the feud which resulted in many
bloody encounters. Mattock and Tur-
ner had not met for two years until this
morning, when they came face to face
in the road in front of Mattock's house.
Turner was in a buggy and Mattock on
horseback. Both men pulled their guns
and opened fire. After the fifth shot
Turner sank down IN his buggy with
two bullets through his breast, and
died shortly afterwaTd. Mattock rode
away and has not been captured, Mrs.
Mattock. Turner's sister. stood on the
porch and witnessed the fatal duel.
