FIRE AND PANIC.
Two Hundred and Fifty Girls in a
Frightful Holocaust in New York.

New YORK, June 13.-The six
story building filled with "sweater
shops at Nos. 10 and II Montgom-
cry street, caught fire at s sc o'clock
this morning and in the mad rush
to the street of the $50 souls work
ing there at the time three were
killed and several injured. The
fremen are now searching the
different floors of the burned build
ing and it is probable that their
search will result in adding to the
death list.
The bodies of the three persons
killed are so mangled it is a difficult
matter TO identify them. One body
is that of a woman about 80 years
old; another of a man 40 years old,
and the third that of a man As
years old. All the occupants of the
building were Polish Hebrews.
At the near-by-hospital twelve
people were treated for injuries re
ceived at the fire. 1t is said two of
the injured will die.
1t is reported at ri o'clock that
two more bodies have been found.

thinks Mexico is one of the most
enterprising towns in the country he
is satisfied with his location and on
ly one thing is lacking to make him
happy-a wife. District Attorney
in Colorado is something like Pros
ecuting Attorney in Missouri. The
Prosecuting Attorneys duties in this
state are confined to one county,
while in Colorado a District Attor-
ney gets a much larger salary and
has several counties to look after.
MIR. HIT has one of the largest and
most important districts in the state
and we are glad to know that he is
giving splendid satisfaction. AS a
prosecutor he is vigorous, but fair,
and protects the state against the
petty spite of prosecutors and at the
same time allows no guilty man to
escape.

Cabin In Flat Rock Fired by Lightning
There was great excitement in Flat
Rock at high noon Tuesday. The
lightning struck one Of the negro
cabins just north of Hannah Bates
famous restaurant, only a few feet
from the sidewalk, and scattered the
whole population. The shanty was
occupied by john Lyons family,
Maria Ringo, Malinda Johnson,
Mrs. Gaus and children and others
too numerous to mention. Two of the
pickaninuies and one or two of the
women were severely shocked, but
no one was badly hurt. The light
ming set fire to the building and
damaged it to the amount of $1.2O
any way. 1t was ar odd scene to see
the numerous negroes running out
of their apartments of the burning
building with beds and trunks upon
their heads. The fire company sue
ceeded in extinguishing the flames
before any serious damage was done.
OF course the furniture was badly
injured. j. u. Tucker owns the
cabin.
