Great Fire in st. Louis.

The six-story brick building of the Richard
son Drug company was reduced to ruins on
| New Years morning. So fierce was the fire
that five minutes after the alarm was turned
IN the buildings across the street were smok-
ing and were about to burst into flames,
Every few minutes a terrible explosion would
detonate throughout the buildings and a
graceful curl of fire. many feet in height and
diameter, would leap high into the air and
summon the reveling rioters of New Years
night to the scene of the destruction When
every pane of glass was out of the building
the tongues of fire leaped out, and their heat
made the narrow street sheol for the gal
liant fireman who toiled with bursting, burn
ing hose to save the property. Their coats
smoked and their hands were blistered when
exposed to the glare, and many dropped the
lines and sought the shade of an adjacent
building. 1t was magnificent an awful
sight from the first two minutes after it's
discovery until about three O'Clock, when
the building collapsed, and there was othing
more to burn. The building was erected
several years ago, at a cost of 100000. It
was one of the largest wholesale drug
stores in the country The buildings in
close proximity to the fire was scenes OF ire
mendous excitement. The Ehler house, place
at 200 South Fourth street, occupied BY
boarders, was the scene of q panic. The
screams of frightened women, and men rush
ing to-and-tro from room to room after their
friends, created much terror. Finally the
firemen came to their assistance, and all the
occupants were safely rescued.
Andrew Geroghty, the night watchman in
the. Richardson drug house, has been miss
ing since the fire, and it is believed that he
persisted in the burned building The VIC
tim, widow and fourteen-yea daughter
created q terrible scene at the ruins, plead
ing for a search for the remains in the still
burning building.
Mr.. Cliff Richardson. the general manager
OF the concern, gives the value of the stock
on hand at about $675sQOO and the insur-
ance at $65O,0O0. The buildings occupied
We're valued at about S2O0,0OO The origin
Of the fire is not yet known.s

HintsFOr Cold Weather.

Never deem it too much trouble to
build d fire when one is Unnecessary, but
if You can doso comfortably, accus-
tom yourself toa moderately warm
atmosphere.
Tight well-built houses are great
saving of fuel, but much attention
should be paid to their proper ven
tilation.
Ii no other means have been pro-
vided lower one of the windows from
the top nearly an inch, and tack a
piece at pasteboard on the upper
edge of the sash in such manner
that it will direct the air toward the
ceiling; in this way, draft may be
prevented and the atmosphere will
still be kept perfectly pure
The best fuel is wood.
1t is the healthiest because it con-
tains the mostoxygen; coal has none,
and consequently the oxygen neces-
sary for it's combustion must be sup
piled from the air room; this, and not
the escape Of the gas, is what usually
renders the air where coal is burned,
so close and oppressive.
Close-grained wood, like hickory
and hard maple, gives out the great
est amount ofheat; the open-grained,
like pine and bass-wood, heats the
quickest.
I The valve of fuel as heating mate
terial is determined by thenmount OF
: water which apound will heat to a
given temperature. One pound OF
wood will convert 40 pounds of ice
into boiling water, while a ppyEa OF
coal will heat nearly 80 lt5unds.
From this we find chat coal is nearly
twice as good for heating purposes
as wood.

A Trunk Mystery.

AIrnnK Mystery.
A Chicago embezzler who packed himself
and $40 900 in trunk and was then sent by
express to St. Louis, was captured in the
city. His name is Thomas Vines, and he
Is the clerk in the employ of the Adams &
Mestlake Manufacturing company, who
disappeared recently with the wages
OF seven hundred men. Vines confesses that
ne took the money and with the aid of a
confederate whom he refuses to name hired
made preparations. for fight. he
blackened up as a negro, and secreting the
money in old stockings threw them under
some old clothes in the bottom of one of the
biggest trunks that his accomplice could per-
chase. At night, when he thought the Wig
lance OF the police was somewhat relaxed
under a belief that he was already out Of the
city, Vines confederate sent an expressman
to their room, and Vines, in his negro dis
guise, helped the expressman load the trunk
on the wagon. Five holes to give air for
breathing, had been bored by the embezzler,
in the back of the trunk near the lid, where
openings would not be noticed. On the
way to the depot Vines told the ex-
pressman that he intended to beat his way
to st. Louis by going in the trunk, being too
poor to pay his railroad fare The express
| m an thought it risky, but did notinterfere
when Vines opened the trunk, jumped in, and
snapped the lid shut with q, spring lock. The

expressman, the check for the trunk was in
! the possession of Vines accomplish Vines
and the trunk went on board the train, and
the embezzler and his $4,000 were treated
| as very common baggage for distance of
over a hundred miles, That was as long as
the embezzler could stand it, The air was
sitting and he had been tumbled over and
over until he was sore in every Joint On
| making an cutlery he was released by the
baggage man. They did not put him off the
train, but sympathizing with his plea of pow
| erty, allowed him to travel the remainder of
the journey in a passenger car. The trunk
was carelessly closed by the trainmen, and
| its contents left undisturbed. At ST. Louis
! the trunk could not be obtained by Vines
without the check and his confederate did
| not put in an appearance Considerable pity
was expressed by the depot men for Vines,
and a small collection was taken up to buy
him a dinner and supper. His strange story
reached the ears of the police and aroused
| their suspicious. Vines description had been
received from the Chicago authorities and a
reading oft resulted in the dispatch of an
officer to arrest the fugitive. Vines was tax
en- into custody while begging the baggage
| master to disregard the usual regulation
about checks and give up the trunk.
