LIVES LOST BY FIRE
4 Stable Buns at Denver With hrg
Losses.
Fosr Hen Perish Together With ThirtT-

The Loss.

The Mansion livery stable of Dem
yer. Col, burned between $50 and
O'Clock Monday morning. Four men
rooming in the upper part of the
building were subjected, and thirty
four head of horses met their death in
the same way. There is a possibility
that one more man suffocAted. The
bodies were sent to the cOroner's Office
for Identification.
There were several narrow escapes
from death. ms part of the building
over the stables were occupied by
roomers. When the police and fire
department arrived a number of these
roomers were hanging out of the
windows, having been almost SUI
located by the volume of smoke
inside.
There were seven men and two
women in the building and only four
are known to have escaped.
The lower part of the building was
occupied by horses and carriages. The
upper part was divided into three
departments. One of these were

occupied by three roomers, another
was used for storing hay and grain
and the third was used to stable
horses. The horses that suffocated
were those that were kept in the upper
part of the building.
The police were the first to arrive
and they did heroic service. They
rushed into the burning building and
liberated tn horses on the lower floor
The frightened animals rushed out a
side door and ran around Ia the front.
They wers kept out of the front door
by large crowd that had gathered.
The fire probably originated from
the upsetting Of lamp. The stables
were owned by Smith & Soinbart. The
horses all belonged to private individ-
uals and were valued at from $500 TO
$3.50 each. The loss nn the building
and carriages will be in the neighbOr-
hood of $4,000.

stock last Friday night.
John p. Bowman of Cuttingsville,
the owner of the noted mausoleum at
that place, died last Friday.
A special to the Rutland Herald
form Middlebury says, Saturday
night Mrs. Isaac Wimette of Sails
bury, her daughter, l6 years old, and
= boy II years old, were returning
from Middlehury, when their horse
was taken with blind staggers or col
ic midway between Caleb Smiths
and Charles Seeley's. The horse
began backing frightening the three
occupants of the wagon. The girl
jumped as the wagon went over the
embankment and was saved. The
boy and his mother were unable to
free themselves and with the horse
fell into the water and were drowned.
News of the accident reached the vii
lage about Z 80 o'clock and searching
parties, with graphing irons, went
quickly to the scene of the accident.
The body of the woman was found
by Julius Seeley at s AS o'clock
about 5 rods from where the accident
happened. Chas. Bruya found the
body of the boy about ten rods far
ther down the stream at 8 20 o'clock.
A peculiar circumstance is that where
the wagon went over is the only OPEN
ing in a fringe of trees for several
rods and that barely wide enough to
let a team through. Mrs. Wimette
leaves husband and seven children.

Your Executive Committee, after

lcate our monument! 1t rests with
you; with the representatives of
those of our number who have passed
before, and with the friends of the
Regiment who have pride in its record
to reply. The years are rolling on,
the noenday of all our lives is past;

over us all let this work be accom-
plished.

$500. Remember at Gettysburg
the war of rebellion touched its heigh-

at the crisis we were of those who
struck the decisive blow; remember
at that moment our Reg't was in the
advance of the entire Uuion Army.
Put your hands down deep into your

Sunday World, Aug. 9th:

Sunday World, Aug. 9th:
The energetic protest made in an
address before the National Editori-
al association at st. Paul by A.
Frank Richardson, of this city,
"against the growing habit of the
druggists and merchants of palming
off substitute for the article asked
for by a customer" has occasioned a
healthful agitation of this subject in
the press.
Every person who buys well-known
proprietary medicines Or other articles
of general use has probably met with
the insinuating suggestion that the
shopkeeper has an article of his Town
make" which is ''just as good and
much cheaper" 1t is not generally
known, however, that the work of
fabricating these articles and putting
them up in form to deceive the pub
lic-keeping the counterfeit just with
in the pale of the law-has grown to
be a regular business. There are
more than two hundred deceptive
substitutes prepared for one standard
article alone.
Much of this work is swindling and
all of it is dishonest and unworthy. A
manufacture of anything is in Justice
entitled to the full reward of his repu
tation. And people who buy are en-
titled to get what they call for with
out intended and impertinent solcita-
ton TO buy something which they
never heard of and do not ask for.
The law should protect both as COM
pletely as possible, and public opin-
ion voiced by the press, and private
protest delivered to unworthy shop
keepers, should do the rest.

M. Quad in the New Yory World
tells how he detected man stealing
a head Of cabbage and two carrots
from a green-grocer, and how he fol-
lowed him to his miserable home con-
sisting of two small back rooms up
four flight of stairs, on Cherry st.
and how he found there the mans
wife all crippled up with rheumatism
and lying upon an apology for bed.
After stating that the man was una
BILE to obtain work, he proceeds to
to moralize thus:
1t was the same old story that hundreds
of others have told-that hund.e,AR of
others could tell Sickness, out of W ork
despair, the pawn shop, and finally con-
viction that Christianity was a moekery
and the hereafter delusion. As they
told their story--as he set there with the
vegetables he had stolen to appease their
hunger, and she held up her crippled
hands in an appealing way, thought of
the good men and women who sometimes
come down into these streets to distribute
tracts and eXhort hungry and peniless
husbands, wives and children to be good
and trust in Providence Through long
year of wretchedness and misfortune not
a hand had been lifted to help them-not
even penny contributed. They could
hear the church bells from their windows,
but the churches were looking after the
heather in Africa while they starved !!
One day man climbed up the stairs
and told them there was God, and
left them bundle of tracts; but who
could blame them if they doubted him?
At intervals the notes of "Home Sweet
Home," floated up to them from hand
organ on the sidewalk below They look
ed around the dark and empty rooms and
wondered if the song was sarcasm.
And on this Saturday night there was
not penny to purchase with. The hus-
band could have earned something, but
''no hands wanted had been the reply as
he travelled up and down and across. He
had gone out to beg, but men had rebuffcd
him. Then he had turned thief. Raw
cabbage and carrots would stitle hunger

'It has come at last! Well and good
They will at least feed me in prison, and
| might as well die there as anywhere
As an honest man the world let me starve
as convicted thief the world will clothe
and feed me-"
And hers were: Who made the law
which says that husband who has
sought work in vain shall not stretch out |
his hand and take that which will -Snfle /

God, he has deserted us. If there is a |
