Quite little sensation was caused in the
neighborhood of 4th and Race streets vt 1
O'Clock this morning by a fire which broke
out in a tenement house and small grocery
store at 42o Race street. Philadelphia
Three different families reside in the house
and in each family there were two or three
children. ranging in age from six months to
six years.
Inc rescue OF these by means of ladders
from the top story windows was what caus-
ed all the excitement. The fire itself did not
amount TO much, being caused by a spark
from stove at the back of the store set
ting tire to bundle of rubbish.
Charles Schwearing, who with his family
raise the alarm. He was awakened NV bis
wife. who smelled smoke. and upon rushing
to the stairway found that passage blocked
with thick volumes Of smoke
The third and fourth floors were occupied
by Mrs buchanan. a widow. and her son.
and Charles Recuesen, his wife and four
children. The latter became panic-stricken.
and rushing to the windows. would have
jumped out had 1t not been for the tr,,ck
and ladder arriving at that moment.

THE MILWAUKEE, FIRES.
Evidence That Many of Them Were
IncendiaFy.

Three special agents and detectives who
have been investigating the Milwaukee fires
for the past six months have assured them
selves and their companies that a number
OF the mysterious fires which have occurred
In that city were especially arranged.
They state that there were in all some
twenty suspects; that written confessions
have been secured from some of these and
that the stronsest kind of evidence Is at
hand against the others. In this number
1t is Claimed, there are two business men.
The insurance men claim that a num-
Der OF the suspected parties seemed to have
worked together. and to have employed the
statesmen to do the work for them These
men, 1t Is further claimed. are now willing
to settle their insurance on any terms which
may be suggested by the companies.
On the other hand, the agents are not in
favor of a quiet settlement, unless nothing
can be done in the way of prosecution. In
the event Of a wholesale prosecution II Is
declared. there would be some very start
ling developments In Milwaukee business
circles

medium always inquiries whether the
spirit whose presence is desired is living
or dead.
The mediums always carry about with
them IA mysterious wooden box, about a
foot or less square. Like the medicine
bag Of the Indian medicine man. its con-
tents are a secret to members of the
same profession. These women usually
have a bow of soft wood strung with a
single string. and this they twang on
the edge of the box like a caricature OF
violin playing.
If the spirit required is that of a dead
person, a leaf plucked from Il graveyard
is used TO splash some water out of a
small cup that stands i'll front of the
medium. II the person is living, a sim
liar ceremony is performed with a piece
of stick instead of a leaf. Then follows
an incantation. and the spirit proceeds
to speak through the medium. The
medium charges sometimes as high as II
or 90 cents.-San Francisco Call.
