A COLLEGE HORROR.
Flames Cause the Loss of Life at
Akron, o.
The Clothing Of Number of Girls Taking
Part in an Entertainment Catches
Fire-TwO Die of Their Burns
and Nine Are Injured.
THE cRUEL FLAMEs.


AKRON, o., Dec 14.-At a birthday
urday thirty lady students were gath
cred in the. society's library building.
They were entertained by eight who
wore masks and loose, flowing gar
ments. with high hats, also covered
with cotton. The hat of Miss Aurelia
Stiegmeier. of Utica, n. Y,
caught fire and communicated it to the
entire party. Every effort was made to
save the young ladies, whose screams
weresheard throughout the great build
ing and whose blazing costumes seemed
to fill the room. Miss Mary Stevens,
of Clifford Springs, n. Y, had
every particle of clothing burned from
her body, and rolled over and over in
the center of the room, where a little
group tried to exting4lish the flames.
Miss Steigmier was burned from head
to foot, and both have since died. Two
holes were burned in the floor, but the
fire was extinguished. The others in
jured are:
Miss Mary Baker. OF Fort Plain, N. " neck,
face and chest charred t. a cinder; Aurella
Warwick. OF Storm Lake, Ia, severely burned;
Diana Haynes, of Abeline, Kan; Myrtle Baker,
of Peru, o. Eva Dean, of Storm Lake, Ia. ;
Ahiie Buchte of Columbia, Kan, niece Of
John r. Buchtel of this city. founder of the col
legei Estella Mason, Of Magadore, o.; Dora
Merrill. of Williamsport Pa.
All the girls presented a frightful
sight, Miss Stevens and Miss Stieg-
meier being burned literally to a crisp.
Nothing could be done for the girls I'M
til the fire in their clothes had burned
itself out. They are all in a critical
condition. Buchtel College is a CO.
educational institution under Univer-
salist patronage in Akron's suburbs.
Mary Baker, of Johnson's Creek,
n. Y, and Aurelia Weirick, of
Storm Lake, Ia, are at the point of
death. Three others who were badly
burned are in such condition that COM
plications may set in at any time, caus-
ing death. A cessation of exercises at
the college for the rest of the term has
been ordered.

AFTER TWENTY YEARS.

John BIyew Sentenced for an Old Quad
ripple Murder in Kentucky.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 15.-One of the
most noted cases in the criminal annals
of Kentucky has just ended at Vance
burg by the conviction of John Blyew
for a quadruple murder committed over
twenty years ago. The crime, the killing
of four negroes, was cold-blooded and
unprovoked one, but as it was committed
only short time after the war, when
laws were lax and bitter feeling ex-
listed against the colored race in the
South, no effort at prosecution was
made. subsequently, however, long
after the particulars of the crime had
been forgotten, an indictment was
found but the case has been in the
courts for a number of years, and is
only just ended. Blyew was given a
life sentence in the penitentiary.
