SPRING PAhACE IN ASHES.
Fort WOrth's Great Attraction
Burned and at Least One Life
Lost.

Fort Worth's Great Attraction
Burned and at Least One Life
Lost.
FORT WORTH, Texas, May 30.-Ths
Texas Spring Palace was burned TO the
ground at l0:30 tonight. One life was
lost and i've persons were injured. The
loss is estimated at $100. .0O0 Presidents
Burbage with Editor SIeicher of LeslieS'
and Russell Harrison were talking in
the big building, of its intiammable
character, when a scream was heard,
then women's cries and the cry of fire
went up. Burbage sprang up stairs for
his wife, Harrison lent aid to the hurry
ing women OH the staircase, and Sleicher
dropped out OF window to the ground.
As the exhibition Was to have closed
Sunday and a grand ball was the
closing event of tonight, several
Thousand persons were present. Lad
les and gentlemen in full dress, and Of
the best society of the city and vicinity
were on hand. One man is known TO
have been fatally burned. Several
persons were seriously injured by be-
ing trampled or scOrched. 1t is impos-
slble to ind out whether the loss of life
Is large or not. but many think none
were burned. Again many fear that az
least twenty-five persons have per-
IShed, and some even place
the number larger. All estimates
are merely conjectured at this writing.
SO far as known at 80 a. m. 10 lives
were lost. Al Haynes, contractor, is
still alive, but cannot recover.
Others injured are: Mrs. VOl-
ney Hall, injured internally;
Clip Hollingsworth, badly crushed;
Judge L. n. Cooper, both legs

SKINNED A BIG ICEBERG.

The steamship NOrmannia Mar
rOwiy Escapes a Serious Col
IisiOn.
NEW YORK, May 30.-The new steam
ship Normannia, of the Hamburg Amer
lean line, arrived here to-day on her
maiden voyage from Hamburg. Her
time from Southampton was six days
twenty-One hours and fifty minutes.
She did not beat the record for maiden
trips. but no attempt was made to do so.
The screws were not pushed beyond au
average of eighty-two revolutions per
minute, though their capacity is ninety
six, and only 14,000 horse power was de-
YeIOped in the engines, which have q
capacity of 1860. Her commander be-
lieves that when an effort is made to
get top speed out of her she
will prove to be the fastest yes-
sci afioat. Tuesday afternoon the
NOrmannia entered a dense fog ana
slowed down. Suddenly an iceberg
IOomed up in the fog. Commander
Hebich reversed the starbOdTd engine,
put the rudder hard aport and went
ahead full speed with the port engine.
The effect was to swing the vessel
around almost within her own length,
and she SKINNED the Iceberg with only
a slight collision, the contact being on
the port side just below the bridge. Two
plates were cracked and the rail dam
aged. The passengers hardly felt the
shock, and after completing her circle
the NOrmannia went right along. Com
mander Hebich thinks that if she had
been a single screw steamer she could
not have escaped a serious collision with
the berg, which was hardly more than
the vessels length ahead when sighted
