PRISONERS ABANDONED.
A Night of Terror in the Baltimore
(DId.) Jail.


Fire started in the electric light plant of
the Brush Company, at Baltimore, Md,
about 10 o'clock p. m. 1t was caused by the
crossing of electric wires. Soon the extern
Sive plant was in flames, and no effort could
save it from complete ruin. Suddenly the
cry went up that the city jail and the
Maryland panitentiary building, 'front.'
ing on Madison street, half block
away. were af1re. The sparks found their
way down the ventilating shafts of the south
wing of the city Jail, a big stone structure.
In the Jail hundreds of prisoners were con-
fined, while across yard the Maryland
penitentiary had locked i'll its cells 6O0 con"
Victs
Instantly there was an uproar among the
prisoners in the Jail. Smoke was filling the
corridors, and the guards, satisfied that the
flames would soon be extinguiShed, examined
the locks to see that no prisoner could escape
and then went out in the air. Fear turned
into mad panic as the smoke thickenei and
the con- rned men shrieked, cursed, and prayed
as the thin tongues of flame crept along the
sills into the windows Of their cells. They
beat their heads and tore their clothes in an
agony OF terror One poor follow was later
on carried out with fractured skull.
Meantime the guards, carrying the keys
which would have liberated the men from
the horrible smoke and fire trap. had real
lied that the danger was great. They at
tempted TO return TO tilo uppeE tIetS Ol tho
south wing and liberate their charges, but
were driven back by the impenetrable
smoke. The f1remen, urged on by tho
| shrieks of the tortured as we'll as by
the cheers of the multitude below, staggered
through the corridors, smashing lock after
lock and releasing the occupants Of the
| cells.
Many of the prisoners We're found uncon-
| scious others in their mad haste to escape
| jumped from the upper tiers to the foor be-
| low. Charles Dunn, colored, was fatally
! injured in this way and died next morning
| 1t was more than two hours after the Jail
| took fro before the last unconscious vic
tim was carried out. The patrol wagons
and ambulances conveyed thirty of the
more seriously injured to the nearby hos
| pitfalls. The other prisoners were treated
Ii he north wing of the Jail
| or removed to the penitentiary. Seven
ty-eight women wero in another wing of the
Jail Great excitement prevailed there, but
Matron Bishop gathered the females in the
lower hall and quieted their fears.
The fire was confined to the south wing o
the jail, which was gutted from roof TO cellar
The loss is estimated at $55, 900.

IMAGINATION Is DEAD.
The Great French Marshal Passes
Quietly Away.

Quietly Away.
Marshal MacMahon died at 10o'clock a. m.
at Chateau La Foret, on the Loire, in France.
He was able to partake Of food until the day of
his death, but during the night his strength
gradually declined, and he grew weaker
and weaker until the end came peace
fully at the hour mentioned. The family of
the deceased soldier, including the Duchess
of Magenta, his wife his three sons and his
daughter, Countess Piennes, were present at
his death.
Marie Edmund Patrice Maurice Mac
He was descended from an Irish family,
which followed the Stuarts 20 France i'll
1851. He was educated ut St. Cyr. and
after graduating took part in the Alger-
ian campaign. In 1S40 he was made
Major on account of distinguished
services. and at the beginning of the Crimean
war was made Il General. Here he also dis
tinguished himself. his stOrming of the Maia
koll being an achievement renowned i'll his
tory. During the Franco-Italian war in 1859
he was created Duke of Magenta because of
the decisive defeat he administered to the
Austrians in the battle of that name. 1t was
shortly after this that he was made Mar
shall of France. In 1864 Marshal Mac Mahon
was appointed Governor OF Algeria
and rendered important services in
that capacity. He commanded the
whole French army in the FrancO-Prussian
war but that brief campaign ended
disastrousIy for his country. He lost two
important battles and, finally suffered Il
crushing defeat at Sedan, where he Was Sc
yerely wounded. Marshal MacMahon was
elected President OF the French Republic III
