Attacked by Highwaymen and Crawling
Home with Legs and Arms Frozen.
sHAMoKIN, Pa, Jsn.-13.-A thrilling
struggle with highway men and a terrible
Journey from . mountain, with the ther-
mometer at 8 degrees below zero, will
probably result in Albert Mack's legs and
arms being amputated, IL he RECEIVERS suf-
ficiently to stand the operation.
Wednesday afternoon he left here in q
sleigh for Bear Gap. At dusk he COM
menced the return trip. The wind, blow
ing fifty miles an hour, caused huge
banks OF snow to form on the mountain
road. After travelling five miles Mack
found that he was being overcome by the
cold, and, whipping up his horse, he be-
gan race against death by freezing.
Finally ne reached the Shamokin
Mountains, about half dead, when two
masked men, who had probably been hid
ing in cave, sprang from behind a tree
and ordered him TO throw up his hands.
When he said he had no money, they at
tack him with clubs. He fought desper-
ately until rendered senseless.
For hours he ls in snow drift and on
recovering found his legs, arms and face
frozen. Then commenced terrible jour
ney through the storm to this place,
crawling most of the way. When he
reached a livery stable he was half crazed
and tried to hug a redhot stove, but was
stopped by an attendant. He is now at
home in a horrible condition.
The horse was found In the mountain
almost frozen.

Grease and TaIiow Rich Food for Fire n
CambridEeport.
Boston, Jan. 13.-The soap factory OF
Lysander Kemp & Sons In Cambridgeport,
was almost totally destroyed by fire last
evening, entsilipg loss OF about $4,000,
rs near as can be estimated.
The works are located at the corner of
Broadway and Davis street, In the "soap
district"
The building was wholly OF wood, two
stories high with a three-story l., and
about 40xl00 feet. II was heavily con-
structed, the flooring being Of planks and
the supports between the floors OF large
joists.
1t Is not known how the fire started
but Il caught somewhere on the southerly
side on the first floor and gained rapid
headway. The large stock OF grease and
tallow was rich food for the flames, aud
by the time the firemen arrived 1t was
soon seen that the building was doomed.
Although the building is still standing, II
is badly gutted and practically will have
to be rebuilt.
Major Kemp gives the following rough
estimates on the stock and building:
Value OF machinery, 5000; value of build
ing and stock on hand, $40 1000. The prop
erty is assessed for s11, 400. There is an
insurance on the building, stock and ma
chinery OF about $4,000.

Four Alarms Runs I'm for . Stubborn Fire
Last Evening.

Four Alarms Rung I'm for Stubborn Fir'
Last Evening.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Jan. ia stub.
born fire broke out In the Old Colony dis.
tillery, on Grand avenue, Fair Haven, al
1880 O'Clock last night and necessitated
the turning in of three additional alarms
which brought out the entire fire depart
ment. The buildings are all OF wood and
together with the plant will be totally
destroyed.
The distillery company is owned and
controlled by the United Growers Com
pany, OF New York, and the Havemyers,
the big sugar refiners, are said to be large
stockholders. The company has met with
serious reverses and embarrassments dur
ing the past year and its plant has been
idle for a number OF months.
Negotiations looking toward settle
ment OF claims have been pending for
about six weeks and II was hoped that as
q result of these transactions to get the
concern into working order again.
The plant is said to be worth about $780,,
900. The local officers of the concern
placed blanket policy yesterday morn
ing through the Mcneil agency, OF this
city, for about 100000.
Other rumors quote Charles Water
house, Jr., an officer OF the company, as
saying that there was not a penny OF In
surance on the property and that the loss
would be about 10000. Neither OF these
statements can be verified and the ques-
tion OF the actual amount Of loss and in
surance, il there Is any, cannot be deter
mined until later. 1t is pretty certain
that the fire was OF incendiary origin.

this currency has been destroyed by
