BURNED TO DEATH,
Five Persons Meet Death in Burning
Building.

BY fire in Brooklyn tenement four
persons lost their lives and one man was
so severely burned that he will probably
die. The fire started in the tenement
No. 107 Hopkins, corner of Delmonico
place. 1t was caused by pot of fat
boiling over in the basement, which,
with the ground floor store, is used by
Fred Boldfus, baker. There was a
very. thick smoke, and in few moments
the flames had reached up through
the hallway, and the inmates of
the double fat came pouring down the
stairs. There were nine families; all of
these escaped with the exception of Mrs.
John Henry, q widow, living in the third
story, who stopped to dress her three
children. She stayed too long, and when
she finally attempted to get down stairs,
she was overcome by the smoke. When
the fire was extinguished it was found
that the mother and the children had
been burned to death. The names of the
dead are as follows: Mrs. John Henry,
Julia Henry, aged 9; Woodsey Henry,
aged a; a baby boy year old. Jacob
Enrich, who was employed by the baker,
and was in the basement at the
time the fire first started, was fatally
burned. So far as yet known, the fire
was purely the result of an accident.

A Terrible Tale.

Altoona (Pa,) special: Thomas Stiles,
q wood-chopper, made horrible dis
covery of body on the mountainside
alongside the "Kettle" road near AL

well-known citizen of this place. Some
time ago Collyer fell upon an axe and
cut severe cash across his right arm.
The wound resulted in lock-jaw, but the
case was being successfully treated at
the Altoona Hospital. Later his mind,
however, became affected and he wan
dered away from that institution. Collyer
was employed at the time Of the acci-
dent on loggings contract and when
he left the hospital he returned to his
labor. For the past three months he
had been missed and nothing was known
concerning his whereabouts until now.
The body was identified as that Of Coll.

The most sensational steamboat dis
aster Cincinnati has known for years oc-
Cured Wednesday night. The great
steamboat Thomas Sherlock, bound for
New Orleans. swung out with 400 tons of
freight, twenty-one passengers and crew
of thirty-fve or forty. AS the boat
swung toward the b. & o. bridge mile
below her starting point, a sharp and
sudden wind pushed her out of her
course and thrust her with full speed
against the great stone piers of the
bridge. There was an awful crash,
followed by mad lurch as the boat
stumbled forward and swung into the
flooded channel. Almost instantly
settled down until only the hurricane
deck was above water. On to this frail
support the human freight pushed and
fought its way. A tug came alongside,
and the half-dead people were quickly
transferred to the tug. A roll-call was
taken, and it was found that Mrs. j. Nc
Leane, of Pittsburgh, had been crushed
to death. The third clerk and two chill
dren, and ten or fifteen of the crew are
missing. One of the missing children
was found dead. The child is the niece
of Mrs. McLeane. One of the roust-
abouts states that at least half dozen
are dead.

THE DESERT LAKE,
The Flood Traced to the Place Where
1t Leaves the Colorado.

The party, headed by Mr.. Carter, sent out
from Los Angeles, Cal, by tho Southern
Pacific Railroad Company to find the sourcs
of the Salton Lake, have returned. They
report from Ogilbie that the water leaves
the Colorado River at point eight miles
from Ell Rio, and flows through several
channels from four to six feet deep
aud from thirty to sixty feet wide. 1t flows
westward along the Sand Hills on the line OF
the old overland stage to Ogilbie, making
stream 100 yards wide or more, and having
a velocity of four miles an hour and gaining.
It was too deep to be sounded, but the old
slough at this point was formerly twenty
feet deep. This Is aoout thirty-fve miles
from the river. The party adds:
"We followed the stream two miles further
in the direction Of the Indian Wells. The
water is all the way from half mile to two
miles wide. and from two to four feet deep,
having velocity Of two miles an hour. The
main channel passes Cooks Well, then on to
Alamo Mucho. making distance Of ffty-two
miles from Colorado River. This is the
point at which it enters the desert for
Salton. The old stage route, with the ex-
ception of five or six miles, is all covered
with water. The only way to reach this
point Is over the Sand Hills. This settles
the question OF a water supply conclu-
sively."

How Wakeful Man May Get to Sleep.

A writer, evidently of practical turn
of mind, tells contemporary how easily
the wakeful dyspeptic can be made to
slip off into the lands of dreams. He
says: "The dyspeptic, Of course, eats
light supper, may resort to the use OF
towel, wet with tepid water, and COW
cred with dry cloth, the whole then
applied to the pit of the stomach. Be-
fore the sufferer knows it he will float
into shadow land, such is the sympathy
between the organs of digestion and the
brain. Owing to the position of the
stomach, light sleeper ought to sleep
on the right side instead Of the left,
never on the back. If there is ten
dency to cold feet, thin woolen blanket
may line the lower third of the bed.
The limbs ought not to be greatly
fexed, a position which presents free cir
culation, and they should rest one upon
another lightly. The night light, where
used, ought to be a tiny taper, and not
gas or kerosene, both of which devital-
ize the air. A darkened room is the
best. Nature puts out her light, and
draws the curtain of darkness for a pur-
pose. With good habits, physical and
mental, and determination not to deal
with anodynes, sleep may be won from
its shyest lair to watch over the restless
pillow.-Deroit Free Press.
