The Red Flag FIaunted.

In the labor day parade in Cleveland "a
score of anarchists were in the procession,
and declaring themselves to be carpenters
they were permitted TO retain the places
they had quietly slipped into At the gar
den they unfurled their flag and refused to
acknowledge the stars and stripes. The
committee in charge induced them finally
TO put their flag away. When the commit
teemen turned their backs, however, the
anarchists seized their emblem of blood and
waved IL aloft triumphantly. Immediately
they were attacked by a hundred honest
workingmen, whose Indignation was be-
yond control. The flag was trampled under
foot, and one anarchist after another went
to the ground in the fight that continued
for at least 10 minutes.
All the anarchists but five escaped the
three detectives who were present, but
those who got away were bleeding and
lame, and will hardly appear in public for
some time.

SIX BURNED TO DEATH.
Several Persons Had Very Narrow
EscaDeS.


At an early hour on the morning of Sep
TENDER 2, flames were discovered In the
American house. corner OF Third and Tow
er avenues, in West Superior, Wis. When
the department arrived the entire building
was a mass Of flames, and the inadequate
supply of water rendered the efforts OF the
flremen almost useless. The air was filed
with the screams Of frantic men and
women trying TO escape from the burning
building, many of them being clad only in
their night clothes
The building was frame structure, and
more in the nature Of a boarding house
than hotel. The inhammable, ricketry old
shell was soon entirely destroyed, the men
in the meantime directing their efforts TO
saving the adjoining houses.
When the ruins began 10 shoulder water
was played upon them as rapidly as posi-
BILE, and tho search for the missing began.
In three different places bodies were found,
charred beyond recognition. Six men were
lost altogether, as all who were In the
building have been accounted for except
these. Their names will probably never
be known. The landlord never had regis
ter, and simply noted down the rooms
which were occupied each day Besides,
the guests were strangers, the hotel patron
age being class Of lumbermen and miners
who were bound north and generally
stopped only one night.
The cause of the fire was attributed TO
lamp explosion in a room on the second
floor, occupied by two men who had been
out late and had returned under the in
fluenco of liquor. They said they first knew
of the fire when they saw the flames
through the transom Of their room. Their
escape was miraculous, and all were badly
burned.
The servants were so Mortified at the sit
uation that it was with difficulty they were
forced to leave the house. One man who
had returned drunk, barely escaped death
by being carried out by his roommate.
Others were saved by jumping into
blankets held by men on the street below.
