Of Fortieth street and Sixth avenue,

morning. and In less than two hours
was heap OF ruins with large num-
ber OF Its inmates cremated In the
death trap. Ht It.tt ..
The building burned as II IL had
been 50 much straw. At 258 o'clock
pillar Of flame shot up through tho
elevator shaft OF the house. In less
than twelve minutes the Gre had
spread out into every corridor. and
was stealing Its way under the doors
along the passages. Five minutes
the windows In the structure were
lighted up like one Of those toy houses
which children illuminate with the
stroke OF o match. And tho Hotel
Royal itself was a toy house. Five
minutes more and 1t was covered with
flame as with a garment ,.....
According to the statement OF the
hotel officials, there werc about 1856
guests In the hotel at tho time. The
course Of tho fire IL uncertain.
The chef Of the house said yester.
day that ono OF the cooks may have
left the grease pot on the stove. and
that II boiled over. The burning fat,
in that event could have set fire to the
fioor. and wall. or blazed up to tho
ceiling. The fire may have started in
this way. Engineer Harding Is posi-.
tive that his FURNACE and boiler were
In good order, and that no burning
Goals escaped. The boiler blew up an
hour and half after the fre broke
out.
There were 200 rooms in the house
and oil but four were occupied.
So rapidly did the flames spread that
whom the sleeping guests were awak-
ened many found all escape cut of
and some in desperation jumped from
the windows to certain death on the
pavement below. while others rushed
madly into the flames and either per.
ished or were horribly burned before

O, The Pity OF Il.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 2S.--Mrs. John
T. Stocks, the sister of Rev. Samuel Z.
Jones, the Georgia evangelist, is dying
at her h.me tonight. Her husband is
sick in the same room unable TO move.
A sad tragedy has cast gloom over
the family. Their only son, Porter
Stocks. killed Alpheus Cassin few
months ago. He has since been tried
and convicted Of murder, but secured
new trial. which he is now awaiting.
AT his urgent request, having heard of
the condition of his mother. Judge
Clark permitted him to pay a visit of
one hour under guard of the sheriff.
When the unfortunate son entered the
room and saw both his parents pros
trate he fell into swoon. The scene
is described as having been sensational
in the extreme. When the hour was
up he almost had to be carried out.
The mother was left behind to die, the
father unable to help her, while the
son was taken back TO prison from
which he can never hope to come out
as free man. Porter Stocks was one
of the leading young business men of
the city, and was married to the only
daughter Of one of Atlanta's wealthiest
citizens. The man whom he killed
was equally prominent.

LITTLE Rock. Nov. 25.-Maj. Will

ing state treasurer, will again be
placed on trial in the Pulaski Criminal
Court charged with felony. This
fact is settled beyond dispute. The
Pulaski grand jury is now IN session
aud an indictment is looked for at any
moment.
Several months ago one Of the bank
cashiers Of this city presented $1,000,
State scrip, at the treasury Office Tor
redemption. The present treasurer,
Col. Morrow, Immediately identiiied
the funds as portion of that stolen
from his Office pending an examination
OF woodruff's account Ivy the State
burning board. The scrip was stolen
after Morrow had qualified and taken
possession of the office. Col Morrow at
once attached the scrip, which is now
being held by the bank awaiting the
disposition of the attachment proceed
ings.
Special Master in Chancery Sims, In
submitting his report to Chancellor
Carroll. dealt ut great length upon this
identical scrip. lie said 1t WAS really
the property Of the State OF Arkansas.
and from all Of the evidence taken be-
fore the master, he WAS clearly OF the
opinion that Major Woodruff was res
ponsible for its disappearance.
"Being found Short said the mas
ter, land being reduced to an extremity
in his affairs that was almost pltiable.
and being under indictment in the
courts for felcay, we found that he was
driven to the commission of almost any
crime to cover up his delinquencies."
This prosecution will have no con-
nection whatever with the first. lie

the charge will be grand larceny.
