WATEkvILLE, February 2.-The city poor
house was burned this me rning. 1t was sit
uated three miles from the city. The fire
had strong headway before 1t was discoy-
cred. Many Of the sleeping paupers were
old and feeble people. The keeper of the
house, by heroic work, saved I'll but one, a
demented girl, 13 years old, who is supposed
to have concealed herself in terror. Nine of
the paupers were carried to the barn by the
keeper. George S. Richardson. The weather
was bitterly cold. and Richardson worked
with bare feat, severely chilling them. The
paupers were only partially clad, and suf-
fered greatly. Members of be fire company
responded to the alarm, but did not reach
the scene in season to give any aid. The
body of the Butler girl is supposed to be
burned. The unfortunates saved were
placed in a rack, surrounded with hot bricks
and covered with hay, and brought to hail
In this city. Some of them are i'll from the
effects t the fright and exposure. They
will be placed In the old Continental Hotel.
There was an insurance of $1,000 on the
burned building. The loss will b- $1,000 A
defective chimney was the cause of the fire.
Mr.. Richardson's feet were so badly frozen
that amputation will be necessary.

drowned they would die from suffocation
long before the water can be pumped out. A
large inside mine pump, stationed at the bot
tom OF the slope to keep the lower level free
from water, is covered with water and use
less. Two smaller mine pumps have been
placed in the gangwa, at the first level The

was commenced at six last evening and will
continue until it Is learned where the water
comes from. 1t Is impossible to tell how
soon 1t can be removed, as they cannot ascer-
tain the amount of waGer that will yet run
into these works, as 1t Is being pumped out
