Three Paupers Burned to Death-Tha
Work of Rescue.
BIRMINGHAM, Conn.,. Jan. 11.-Fire in
East Village, near Munro, des troyed the
alms-house and an adjoining building
yesterday morning and three persons
were burned to death. Thomas Colver,
who sleeps in the poor-house, was
awakened about half-past three O'Clock
by fal ling dishes, and seeing the flames In
the building adjoining the poor house,
gave an alarm and tried to arouse the in.
mates of the alms-house. He then rushed
into tho dwelling where Mrs. Wheeler,
the owner of the building, Law sleeping.
The smoke was suffocating, hut ColyeI
CROPPED through it to the bed of Mrs.
Wheeler and carried her outside
in safety. The aims house was
by this time in flames, and
Colyer rushed into it giving al alarm and
trying to awaken the inmates. There
were twelve persons in the poor-house,
and Colyer assisted nine of them tc
escape from the burning building. three
of them perishing before he could reach
them. The paupers aud Mrs. Wheeler
suffered severely from insufficient cloth
ing, as nothing had been saved from the
building. They were obliged to take
shelter in an out house while waiting for
help from the reighbors. Colyer and
Mrs. Wheeler were severely but not fatal
" burned. The cause of the fire is not
vet known.

A Business Mans Views.

''The plain truth is" as Samuel Hold
son, secretary of the Winchester Arms
Repeating Company, put it. that no
honest business man in the country
can at heart be opposed to a revision
of the present tariff AS this COM
pany employs 1,600 men year in and
year out, it is entitled to voice in
matter of such general interest The
Winchester Repeating Arms Company
manufactures both arms and ammuni-
ton. The latter it sells almost en-
tirely at home. AS Mr.. Hodson said,
it can hardly expect to export u great
deal of ammunition when, in addition
to paying the cost of raw materials
used in its manufacture, the company
is also compelled to pay tribute to the
Government on each article. Take lead,
for instance That may be bought for
q cents per pound, but the duty upon
it is 2 cents per pound, and the duty is
high enough to bar American made
ammunition from entering into COM
petition with that made in Europe.
With the company's arms it is differ
ent. Even the duty on the raw ma
terials used in their manufacture is
not sufficient to keep them out of
foreign markets, as the company does
a considerable export trade. But Mr..
Hodson had no hesitation in saying
that the free admission of raw materi-
ais would be of great benefit to the
company's business. 7. Times.

''What marked difference there Is

matron the other day. II have two

Bedlam had been loose Every thing
is out of place; the towel-raok is over
turned, the pillow-shams are crushed,
the wash bowl is left full of water, the
windows are thrown open to the in

is at skies and sevens! But there the
other nephew-Bless my soul, it's
pleasure to have him come! Why you'd
think the daintiest lady had slept in
the room. He removes the shams and
spread, washes the soap before he re-
turns it to the soap dish, puts the towel
squarely on the rack and the comb IN
to the brush, refixes tho tidy on the
bureau. and bows the shutters before
he comes down and all that. Why
I've got nothing to do scarcely but re-
make the bed, and one would hardly
know he slept in it. can not SEQ
why there should be such marked
difference between the young men,
when they are so much alike in almost
every other respect. It's more like
ly born in them than bred in them. -
