 They Pleaded For Help Which Came
 Too Late-ons Man Known to Have Per-
 ished-others In the Building.
 MEMPHIS, Nov. 14.-Many lives were lost in a fire that swept away nearly million dollars worth of property in Memphis.
 The fire originated in the front of SchmalEreid's store and was caused by the explosion of lamp. It was witnessed by Frank l.. Montevoid, secretary of the com pany, and John M. Ringold, shipping clerk, who were in the rear of the store and who had narrow escape in rushing through the rapidly spreading flames, which filled the first story. Both of these gentlemen were painfully scorched.
 The fire soon burst out in the front of the building on Main street and up the stairs, which were the only means of en- trance to the upper stories and which acted as funnel to carry up the roaring flames. In a few minutes attention was attracted by cries from the third story in the rear of the building, which was occupied by the Young Mems Christian association. In the dark, overlooking the alley, the outlines of several forms could be seen at the open windows piteously, pleading for help from the stifling smoke.
 Jumped From the Windows. Owing to the vast multitude about, it was some time before the firemen could To- cate the imprisoned young men, and before a ladder could be put in position the heat became so unbearable that in desperation the colored janitor jumped from the win dow, followed by three white men, where | they fell upon the rough pavements below, | sustaining injuries as follows:
 A. H. Perkins, secretary Young Mems Christian association, skull fractured, prob ably fatally; Charles B. White, arm broken and internal injuries; E. K. Boardman, leg broken and severely bruised; Joe Lyon (colored), porter, wrists and head hurt.
 Two men, H. NJ. Sullivan and Frank O. Seapse, remained at the windows until res cued by the hook and ladder brigade. These were badly burned and almost suffocated, but soon recovered.
 The injured men were taken to St. Jo- seph hospital, and, it is thought, will re- cover with the exception of Perkins, who, it is claimed, cannot recover. It is claimed that two young men were in the gymnasium on the floor, and as there was no way of es- cape it is certain that they perished. They I were seen in the gymnasium d few minutes before the fire alarm was given.
 The Lemmon x Gale building, adjoining the Schmalzreid building, took fire on the roof at the rear, and while the damage by fire was comparatively small the stock of goods was damaged 60 per cent by water which flooded the building from all sides. Ten thousand people who were attending a Sam Jones meeting near by rushed to the scene, and these were augmented by thou 1 sands of others The fire was under con ! trol at midnight.
 It was learned later that a man named Thomas H. Pond lost his life by being burned in the Schmalzreid building.

THE coLUMBIA's FAST RUN.
The New Cruiser Proves to Be the Queen
 of the Navy.

BOsToN, Nov. 1.-The new United States cruiser Columbia is out for trial spin to- day. Tomorrow she will rest preparatory to making her official trial trip on Thurs day. Her first run at sea was the quickest ever made by war vessel in this country, beating the New York's time over two hours
 The trip from Cape Henlopen Southwest lightship to Nantucket South Shoal light ship, 245 2-l0 knots distant, was accom- plished in Is hours and minutes, an average speed of 1869 knots an hour. The cruiser New York's time for this distance was 14 hours and 30 minutes.
 This would make the Columbia's jour ney faster by nearly 1s4 knots per hour. From Nantucket South Shoal lightship to Minot's ledge the speed was kept up.
 The distance from Cape Henlopen South west lightship to Minot's ledge, through south channel, is 407 40 knots, and the Columbia made the trial trip in 21 hours g minutes, an average of 1868 knots an hour. The cruiser New York, when on the way to Cape Ann for her trial trip, made the jour ney in 24 hours 15 minutes, and this had hitherto been the record for this distance Both runs were made under natural draft
 Edwin $. Cramp, who has charge of the ship, says that she will easily exceed the contract requirement. of 2l knots an hour. A speed of p knots would earn for her builders premium of S200,000.
