FATAL FIRE IN LONDON.

SIX Persons Burned to Death-Thir.
 teen Others Seriously Injured-Five
 Killed by Jumping from Windows.
 LONDON, Oct. 13.-The four story build ing on Middle street, occupied by Rowley E Brock, hat, cap and helmet manufac- turers and government contractors for military headgear, was burned this after noon. Six persons were burned to death and thirteen were seriously injured.
 The premises occupied frontage of of thirty feet on Middle street, and the same frontage on Clothfair, and extended thence fifty feet to Newberry street, where was situated the entrance used by the peo- pie who worked in the building.
 The fire broke ont at 1 o'clock in the workshops on the upper. floor. There were thirty persons in the building. Two min utes after the fire was discovered the whole building was mass of flames. The spread of the fire was so rapid that the workpeo- pie found every avenue of escape, except the windows, ,cut off. Through these some of the employees jumped to the ground. Five women employed by the firm were killed by jumping from the windows
 When those in the building found their escape by the stairways cut off there was a scene of wild confusion. Several of the more cool-headed occupants of the upper rooms procured pieces of sheeting, which they tied. together and then making one end fast in the rooms they threw their inn provised ropes out of the windows and by this means descended In some instances, however, through the insufficient strength of the sheeting or the hurried manner in which the knots had been tied, the sheet ing parted and those who were seeking to escape the flames were precipitated to the ground and badly injured.

Finally, however, all embarked on the waiting vessel, but in a very sulking and menacing mood

Entertainments.

Little Lotta, just as young and mis- ''Musette" to large audience at the Fly perion theater last evening. The play is 8 lot of rubbish, but that did not matter as long as it had character in it for Lotta, @ tree stump for her to sit on, hammock to swing in and an audience to sing to and make faces at. It was worth the price of admission to see those little No. ? A feet of hers fly up in the air at the slightest provocation, and sometimes with no provocation at all. The company was as good as the play, and in some respects trifie better. Special mention should be made of MT. Walter Allen, whose voice blends perfectly with that of the star. Lotta's singing never seemed sweeter than it did last evening. Tonight the same company present new comedy, "Ina," in which Lotta impersonates six characters. A large audience is assured.

An Eighty Pound Hail,tone.

In July, 1882, party of railroad sec ton men were at work seven miles west of Salina, Kan, when a terrific hail storm went over, compelling them to creep under their "dummy" car for safety. Martin Ellwood, the foreman, relates that near where they were at work many chunks of ice fell that would weigh from to 15 pounds, and that in returning towards Salina they saw im- mense hailstones scattered about every where. When six miles out from town they found hundreds of them larger than mans head, besides one monster chunk which they estimated weighed at least eighty pounds.
 This frigid reminder of the awful storm was loaded on the hand car and taken to Salina, the combined strength of two men being required in the load ing act Near the mammoth S0-pounder Mr. Ellwood discovered 8 hailstone in the shape of cigar, about foot long and inches in diameter. Upon arriv- ing in town a wheelbarrow was secured and the big hailstone taken to w. J. Hagler's store, where crowds of people visited it all afternoon. In the evening, after being on exhibition five hours, it measured 9 by 16 by 9 inches.-St. Louis Republic.

Love Makes Labor Light.

Two little girls were going to a neigh boring town, each carrying on her heed a heavy basket of fruit to sell. One of them was murmuring and fretting all the way, and complaining of the weight of her basket; the other went along smiling and singing, and seeming to be very happy. At last the first got out of patience with her companion, and said, "How can you go on so merry and joyful? Your basket is as heavy as mine, and I know you are not a bit stronger than am; don't understand it. "Oh," said the other, fits easy enough to understand. I have a cer- tain little plant, which put on the top of my head and it makes my load 90 light hardly feel it.. Indeed; that must be very precious little plant; I wish I could tighten my load with it. Where does it growa Tell me. What do you call itq ''It grows wherever you plant it, and give it a chance to take root, and there's no knowing the relief it gives; its name is love, the love of Jesus. I have found out that Jesus loved me so much that he died to save my soul. This makes me love him. Whatever do, whether it be carrying this basket or anything else, think to myself, I am doing this for Jesus, to show that love him; and this makes everything easy and pleasant. Bible Jewels
