BURNED TO DEATH.
Three childrep. Their Father. and Theii
Mother Perish Ga FIamea

DETROIT. MIcH., December 2.-The most
appalling catastrophe that has visited De-
troit since the burning OF the 1uden
School two years ago took place ao9ut =
o'clock this morning. A FIRE broke out IN
the grocery store of George j. Refs, $50
Orleans street, and communicating to q
dwellinp-house overhead, smothered to
death Charles Res, aged twenty-five, and
bis brothers JOSIE and Eddie, aged eleven
and seven years respectively.
The two latter children were found 10
their bed and the older bog was discovered
By the fremen lying upon the hoor before
o window, as IL be had realized bis danger
and attempted to mako his escape oy tnat
egress. The father and mother were found
looked in each others srms at the foot OF
the stairs leading out into the yard. Ihey
were burned to q crisp IN endeavorlng 70
reach the open air. Why they took the
rear stairs may never be known, for II they
had gone down by the front way they
would undoubtedly have been saved. As
it was they rushed into fiery furnace, for
the confagration did most damage where
their bodies were found.
Two other children--haX, aged fifteen,
ann Tony, aged twelye-and a hired girl.
whose name could not be ascertained, es-
capped By jumping out Of the windows INTO
the arms Of police aud hremen.
There was no means of finding out just
how the fire started. When first seen it
was issuing from the front windows up
stairs. but an examination OF the grocery
store showed an overturned stove, and the
damage done to the lower story would In
dicate that the FIRE started in the store.

bureau for the next fiscal year at l,7S0, 29l +,
Of which amount 81, lS6, $50 is to be applied
towards the armament OF new vessels au-
thorized TO be built.
The number of guns required TO arm the
new vessels is placed at 347, ranging from
four to thirteen inches. The guns COM
pleted number 1856, Of which III are OF SIX
inch callbre. Two hundred aud ninety
four sets of forglngs have been ordered,
and 246 have been delivered. Although
none Of the ships authorized TO be built
require guns of siXteen-inch calibre, IT IS
believed that such guns may be needed
80 the necessary plans have been made and
authority Is sought for the construction OF

culties experienced abroad with these
large guns can be overcome. In order to
facilitate the interchange OF ammunition

The trials Of smokele5S powder, invent
