BLAZE IN A LODGING HOUSE.
Fire Breaks Out in Three Places il
Mrs. Tomlinsons House.

Fire Breaks Out in Three Places in
Mrs. Tomlinsons House.
Fire broke out almost simultaneously
in three places in Mrs. d. B. Tomlinson' s
lodging house, corner of President and
Lincoln streets, at 1920 O'Clock this morn
ing. This alarm was given by one of the
boarders who rushed to the fire depart
ment headquarters. The Chemical was
sent out and Chief Puder soon had the
fireout
The singular thing about the fireis that
it occurred in three closets, one opening
from hallway on the fourth floor and the
others opening from unoccupied rooms on
the third floor. Neither closet was with
in twenty feet of the others and the clos
ct on the fourth floor was filed with bed
ding, and the Others had a lot of cast off
clothing and rubbish in them.
The fire had not burned through into
the rooms before it was extinguished. It
was discovered by the dense suffocating
smoke which filled the upper part of the
house and aroused the dodgers. The
damage, except the loss of bedding, is
slight the building bein g very little dam
aged. No one in the house could account
for the fire and Chief Puder was equally
at a loss to account for it.

roRruEp 10 DEATH.
News OF the sad End ola Converted
Mussulman in q Persian Prison.
~, ,s.. fr,,fts.s..f,sl,.a Israle


Prom the Philadelphia Press.
New York. june p The Presbyterian
board Of missions, az No SO Fifth Ave
nue.. received word to-day Of the death In
Tabriz, West Persia, of Mira lbrahim,
"a converted Mussulmau, iu Persian pris-
on. where he had been confined because
hc had fOrsakeu the worship of Moham-
med for the Christian religion
A bout four years ago he was publicity
baptized at khoi Contrary to eXpecta-
ti0n. he was not Immediately molested.
But the hadred of the MOslems was
aroused and they began the series Of per
secution, which finally resulted in his
death on May ] 4 last. His wife and prop
erty were taken away from him and he
was forced to flee to Oroomiah. Finally,
he was thrown into prison with chain
about him and his feet placed in the
stocks. During the cholera epidemic
year ago he did much TO administer to
those who were stricken within the pris-
on walls.
OF his death, Mrs. S. G. Wilson, a mis-
sionary of Tabriz, thus writes to the
Presbyterian board: "A week ago he was
down in the cellar prison. With him
were twelve desperate fellows. Some say
that he began to preach to them, but
however it was, they became angry and
took turns in choking him with their
fingers and asking him, Is it lisa (Jesus)
or Air To this question he invariably
answered, Isa,' and then they would
choke him again His death was the di-
rect result of the treatment he received
in the prison. He was buried by the
Christians"

TO TRY ANOTHER PLAN.
The Central Directors Send a Com
mittee TO New York.

An Effort to Induce the Hollins Com
mittee to Again Undertake the Re
organization of the Property the
HoIlins Party Declines, other Capt.
talists to be Asked to Take Hold.
Another effort is being made to reorgan-
lie the Central and save it from the ham
mer. This step was determined upon
yesterday afternoon alta meeting of the
directors, called by Receiver Conner to
discuss affairs and make arrangements
about the floating debt which falls due
tomorrow.
The directors were elaJed over the de-
cision of Justice jackson in refusing to
remove Receiver Conner, and the remarks
of the justice on the abandoned Hollins'
plan, which, he said, seemed to him to
have been the best means of putting the
road on its feet again The directors dis
cussed the situation in all its
phases for an hour and half, and finally
decided to send a committee to New York
to try and resuscitate the Hollins re
organization scheme, or arrange fora new
one on similar terms.
The committee selected consists of Re
ceiver Conner and Directors Howell and
Phinizy. These gentlemen will start for
New York tomorrow night, and Monday
morning they will meet the HoIlins com
mittee and endeavor to get it to again
take hold of the Central and make final
effort to reorganize the property. If the
Hollins people decline, other capitalists
will be waited on and asked to assume the
undertaking. The committee has power
to make whatever arrangements it deems
best concerning the floating debt.
The committe is sanguine of success in
view of Justice Jacksons decision His
action it is thought win restore conf
dence, as it practically puts stop to fur
ther embarrassing litigation by the Ter
minal. There is still some hopes for the
security holders, and receiver Conner now
feels more confident than ever that the
property will be rescued.

Of Interest to Stamp Cranks.
From the New York Sun.

There is postage stamp of the Colum-

get one of these stamps Tor s. at any post
office in the country, but hardly anybody
can get cancelled stamp of the same de-
nomination in post-oflice, a stamp store
or any other place, FOR the sufficient reason
that stamps OF a face value greater than a
dollar are out of circulation. so TO speak
Nobody has use for them. The rarityo of

An Odd Survival.


From the Philadelphia Record.
People often wonder why many of the
iron sailing vessels have white painted
sides panelled in the shape of ports, es-
pecially those trading towards the far
east. Warships used to be painted the
same way, and were often sent to shell
the villages of pirates who killed
the crews and looted the cargOes of valu-
able vessels. The pirates soon learned to
know the vessels by their painted sides,
and kept out of sight when a vessel of that
kind appeared. To still brighten away
the pirates, who even now exist in China,
Java and the BOrneo waters, the old Gus
tom often proves useful.
