ANTl-ROMA NISTS.
A Powerful Organization said To be

1t is said that for some time past the rep

political organization have been quietly at
work about Minneapolis. but owing TO the
extreme secrecy OF the order but little can

avowed object is 10 prevent the Catholics

Seven Firemen Meet Death at Balti
more Fire.

One of the most disastrous fires, both 10
life and property that has occurred in Bal
timore for many years broke out at an early
hour the other morning at No. l09 South
Sharp street. and spreading with great
rapidly on either side, destroyed seven fine
four story iron and brick front buildings on
Sharp street and the back buildings Of
nearly the whole row of houses on Pratt
street, between Sharp and Hanover. The
north wall Of building No 100 Sharp street
collapsed and buried nine Of the firemen.
Two of them-Alex and John Kelly-got out
alive, but badly injured. Seven were killed.
The origin of the fire will probably never
be known, but IL is supposed that sponta-
neous combustion was the cause. II is
known that system of electric lighting
was introduced in the building recently,
and it was only tried the night Of the fire,
and IL may be that defective insulation
started the flames and the combustible ma
ture Of the contents of the building served
as food for the destroying elements.
The fire was discovered by al intoxicated
man who stopped to rest on the steps of a
building opposite There was considerable
delay in getting the alarm, and when the
engines arrived the building was in flames
from cellar 10 roof. The fireworks stored
in the upper floors at once began TO explode
and with the rapidly spreading flames pre-
sented the grandest spectacle ever seen in
the city.
The explosion that caused the collapse Of
the building, by which the firemen lost
their lives, was the result Of the ignition of
some chemicals, and was so sudden that
though the men were warned they had not
time to make their escape. The losses will
aggregate about 81, 100000

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

At an early hour on the morning Of Sep
TENDER -. 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 mass of flames. and the inadequate
supply of water rendered the efforts Of the
firemen almost useless The air was filed
with the screams of frantic men and
women trying 10 escape from the burning
building, many of them being clad only in
their night clothes.
The building was a frame structure, and
more in the nature Of "a boarding house

shell was soon entirely destroyed, the men
in the meantime directing their efforts TO
saving the adjoining houses.

was played upon them as rapidly as posi-

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
