A special OF Jan. 20 from Charles
ton, w. Va, says: A horrible boiler
exclusion occurred Mt the saw mill Of

A WASHINGTON HORROR.
The House Of Secretary Tracey
Destroyed by Fire.
His Wife, DaughteG aud Josephine,
Servant Girl, Meet a Hor-
rible Death.

AT z o'clock on the morning OF Feb.
Sd fire started in tho basement Of
Secretary Tracey's residence on
street, Washington, d. c., and soon
spread to the upper floors, The family
were asleep and their escape was cut
off before the terrified servants could
awaken them. Mrs. Tracey, whose
chamber was in the rear OF the house,
was awakened by the servants calling
to her from an alley running back Of
the house. She ran to window and
seeing smoke rolling from the lower
windows leaped to the alley and was
horribly crushed. She was carried to
the residence of Mr.. Rheems, where
she soon afterwards died. In the
meantime n general alarm was sent In
and every engine in the city hurried
to the scene, Ladders were quickly
placed to the windows and the iiremen
rushed through. Secretary Tracey
was found in his room unconscious.
He was taken TO the house whittier his
wife had already been carried. Miss
Mary Tracey was found IN the back
hall on the second floor, badly burned
and in an unconscious condition, from
which she never recovered. Mrs.
Wilmerding, another daughter OF the
secretary, jumped from the window
with Mrs. Tracey and was picked UP
unconscious. She was badly bruised
but will recover. Mrs. Wllmerding's
daughter Alice jumped to a grass ter
race below but received no serious In
jury. The dead body of Josephine,
servant, were found in her room by the
firemen. At noon Secretary Tracey
had regained consciousness, and an
hour or so afterwards he was taken to
the house of Mr.. Dams and was then
given quieting opiate, under the in
fluence of which he slept. About IL
o'clock Mr.. Tracey was recovered and
was conscious and asked President
Harrison where Mrs. Tracey was. The
president could not answer the ques-
ton. Mr.. Tracey, evidently feeling
that. her escape was almost impossible
asked: lis she dead?" Still the
president could not answer and Mr..
Tracey evidently realized the truth. for
he at once swooned and remained I'M
conscious half an hour. Recovering,
he asked for his daughter. The pres
ident told him that his daughter Mary.
was dead, and again Mr.. Tracey swooh.
ed. Secretary Tracey's physicians say,
he is out Of danger. rr nES ee
There are several stories as to the
cause of the fire, but the most plausi-
BILE one appears to be that it was the
result of defective hue. The fire
burned five hours, 1t being nearly IL
o'clock when the last engine was dis
missed. The house was Insured for
$25, 900 and the furniture fcr $4,000.
General b. T. Tracey, President Har-
rison's secretary OF the navy, is one OF
the ablest and most popular members
of the cabinet. When appointed, he
resided at Brooklyn ard was regarded
as one OF the foremost lawyers of New
York. AS a soldier, he has brilliant
record, and as chief officer in chare
of the Elmira prison, in which 10000
rebel prisoners were confined, he PROV
ed himselfa man OF great executive
ability.

THE BANK FAILURES.
Further Particulars OF the Breaking
of the New York Banks.

At 10 o'clock Jan. 3lst small card
on the front door of the Equitable
bank, New York, announced that the
bank was temporarily closed. Cashier
Comton stated to a United Press re-
porter that no doubt the bank would
again open next morning. The out
look at present is that the depositors
OF the Sixth National, LenoX Hill and
Equitable banks will shortly receive in
full the money due them. 1t will not,
however, be due to any efforts OF the
syndicate of financial Napoleons who
originated the scheme to wreck those
institutions. Two or three wealthy
business men who had been deceived
into allowing the schemers in question
to get control of the banks have pledg-
ed themselves to make good any de.
ficiencies in money uue the depositors.
United States Commissioner Shields
held George H. Pell, arrested for con-
nection with the attempted wrecking
of the Sixth National and Lenox Hill
banks, in the sum of $4,000. Up to
noon Pell had not been able to secure
bondsmen. Several friends of Mr..
Pell appeared later and offered to go
on his bond, but the amount OF their
real estate did not satisfy the district
attorney and Mr.. Pell had to pass the
night in Ludlo~ street Jail. President
GLEASON appeared before the United
States commissioner with his counsel
and two deputy United States marsh
ais and the warrant charging him with
embezzlement and misrepresentation of
funds was read to him. 1t was ar
ranged that Mr.. Claason's examina-
ton should take place at 10 a. m. next
day, and meanwhile he was paroled in
custody of the marshals and his coun-
sci. This was in accordance with IN
arrangement made in advance that il
Claason would give himself up he
should not be put in Jail that night

Gattinx Shot IL DcIlxhtfuI.

The dread OF being shot in battle is
far greater before tbe action begins than
afterward This Is tho almost universal
testimony of soldiers who have been in
battle. There IL another point in con
nection with this subject upon which IL
might DO interesting TO hear what old
soldiers have TO say, that is the sensa-
ton felt ut the moment OF being struck
by u bullet. My experience, writes n
correspondent OF the Globe Democrat, In
that IL is not at all painful. The pain
and suffering come in full force after
awhile, but at the time of actual con
tact the flesh and nerves must be so
deadened by the shock that there Is no
painful feeling.

A walking PIn-Cu.hion.

There Is in Georgia to-day Confeder-
ate General who was literally shot full
OF pins during the late war. He was an
extemporized pin-eushion, but the pins
saved his. life. On 'one occasion the
General was lying in his tent at night.
The Federals were near enough to shoot
into the camp. 1t is said he had just
finished letter home and had thrown
himself down for a few hours rest be-
fore the hot work that would begin in
the early morning, when ping! Mimic
bullet irons sharpsbooter's rifle sped
through the tent and struck the Gener-
al in his left side. The blow stunned
him and he lay as dead for few mo-
ments. When he recovered conscious
ness no was surprised to find himself
still alive. He felt. a singing pain in
his breast, and, tearing open his shirt,
found that the ball had struck package

they would be needful in those days
when there was no one to sew and patch,
and had driven every one of them into
his flesh. They had save his life, but he
