A new mineral is said to have been
discovered in Texas in large deposits
in the central and southwestern parts
Of the state. 1t is called litho-carbon
and is found mixed with sand, shells
and earth from which it is separated
by being dissolved in benzine. 1t is
said TO be the most perfect electric in
sulator known, a wire coated with it
having a resistance of 1000 megohms
per mile, against 1000 attained by the
best insulation known hitherto. The
slightest film of it coating wire in
sures perfect insulation. 1t is also
said to be waterproof and practically
fireproof, and susceptible of use as a
paint or varnish. 1t is unaffected by
the weather and is entirely odorless.

Compels Confessien From Man.

destructive fires in the history Of Los An

O'Clock flames were noticed coming
out Of the Norton block, a four story
frame apartment building, on tae corner
Of Seventh and Hill streets. AZ alarm was
at once turned IN, but before the engines
could reach the spot the FIRE had gained
such Roadway that IL was impossible TO
control IL, and in less than half an hour
the block was entirely destroyed, together
with all the furniture in the various apart
ments. A small frame cottage back Of the
Norton block owned by Norton and occu-
pied by Mrs. Abbott. was also destroyed
and the adjacent house on Hill street, a
two-s.ory dwelling owned by John Rine-
hart was partially burned.
The flames then swept east on Seventh
street, totally destroying atwo-story frame
dwelling owned by Deiicasa and the
Church Of the Unity, erected year or two
ago at cost Of $4,000 Further progress
Of the flames was checked at this point by
a vacant lot. A high wind was prevail
ing at the time, but after vigoE-
Gus work OF about an hour the
flames were got under control. The kar-
kersheirn fats. at the corner Of Seventh
and Broadway. were badly damaged, and
had 3 narrow escape from destruction, as
did also the t1o-story frame building be-
longing 20 G. J. Fox. midway in he block
between Hill and Broadway streets.
The total loss is about s100. 600. on which
there is comparatively little insurance.
John RhinehaTt had 1890. and there was
$4,000 on the church property and prooa-
bly, some smaller amounts.

There seems 70 be little doubt that this
city IL now suffering from the visit Of
gang Of burglars who are experts in their
line. It win be remembered that St.
James church was broken into about a
week ago, and the silver sacrament vessels
were taken. Later on, the warehouse
and Office Of steves, Burpee 81 Co, whole
sale commission merchants, were also
gone through.
At an early hour yesterday morning the
third and most extensive robbery was COM
rnitted. The residence of A. G. Ferguson
was entered while the family were at the
fheater and all the jewelry and vaIuables
in the house were taken. The aggregate
value 10 somewhere In the neighborhood
Of 1000, and as yet the police have Sc
cured no clue which will enable them to
trace the gang. Some alarm is felt here
and strict watch Is being kept.
