renee, Kan.

BUFFALO, N. Y. Jan. 1.-Two were
killed and twenty injured, five of them
probably fatally, in a boarding house
fire at B a. M. The scene of the fire was
Mrs. Annie Hackett's lodging house,
IL Swan street, 4-story brick building
of the tumble down order. The first
floor was used as saloon and restau-
rant, the second and third floors were
used for sleeping rooms. The beds were
in little compartments, like box stalls in
stable. Shortly before3 a. m. people
passing heard the large panes of glass in
the saloon crack, and moment later q
cloud Of thick black smoke and tongue
of flame darted ont of the place. Al
most at the same time the front and side
windows Of the lodging house seemed to
be alive with panic stricken people.
They rushed from one window to
another, and called piteously to the
crowd to help them to escape from the
blazing building. There was no ladders
anywhere, no fire escapes on the build
ing, no wax to save the frenzied occu-
pants. The money loss is small.

CATS CAUSE DIVORCE.

An Accumulation of Felines Separate q
Couple Married Forty Years.
Cats and clairvoyance are the reasons
given by Simon Fritz of 46 Goffe street,
New Haven, for separating from his
wife. The couple were married in Iowa
about 40 years ago. Ten years ago Mrs.
Fritz developed a mania for cats. She
gathered in and cared for every stray fe-
line she could find. Mr.. Fritz tried to
escape from them by moving to this city,
but she brolght crate of cats with the
furniture.
Mr.. Fritz is a woodworker. He set mp
q repairing shop on Winter street, and
they lived in the building until the con-
stantly increasing number of cats around
the house caused the neighbors to COM
plain, and they moved to Goffe street.
Mr.. Fitz also has some inventions he is
trying to perfect, but the nightly uproar
by the cats seldom allowed him to get a
nights rest, and he was unable to work
effectively.
Then Mrs. Fritz became trance me-
dunn. and, her husband says, neglected
her household work TO delve into the
mysteries Of the past, present and future.
She attracted attention by asserting that
Anna Orr, then missing from Bridge
port, was dead in well. The girls body
has since been found in well in Fair
field.
Mr.. Fritz could stand the fortune tell
ing, but he couldn't stand the cats, and
he finally declared that his wife's pets
must all 60. Mrs. Fritz demurred, but
her husband was firm. The cats went,
and so did the woman. Now Mr.. Fritz
declares he viii apply for a divorce

BosToS, Jan. 3.--For the second time
in its history the elegant Globe theatre,
now owned by Mr.. John Stetson and
occupied temporarily by the Hanlons'
Superba company, has fallen victim

repetition of Boston's tyi cal big fires
was imminent. But by good manage
ment on the part of the fire department
the loss was restricted to the theatre
building, the brick structure adjoining
called the Globe cafe and in large de-
gree the new building owned by the
Harvard college trustees ON the north
west corner of Washington street and
Hayward place, and the building owned
by the Bryant & Stratton college ON the
south side and the r. E. Allen clothing
store. About $350,Oo0 is estimated as
the total loss.

A SINGULAR CASE.
A Boy whose Condition Completely Baf-
des the Physicians.

A Boy whose Condition Completely Raf.
ies the Physicians.
A very singular case is being discussed
in local medical circles. Within the
past week two of the leading physicians
were called in consultation on case APP
parently entirely new to the profession
and for which explanations are not easily
offered. A boy years old, whose parents
reside south of this city, one year ago
suddenly lost his speech and hearing,
and after being treated by local physi-
clans it was decided that he would be
permanently deaf and dumb, although
no functional trouble could be discov-
cred and the organs were apparently
perfect. Within few weeks, however,
his speech and hearing returned as sud-
denly as they had been lost.
Two weeks ago he again became deaf
and dumb. A closer examination than
previously made showed no abnormal
condition of the organs. Every test
known to the profession was made, but
not the slightest defect could be discov-
cred. However, nothing could induce
the lad to speak, and all noises, however
sudden and unexpected, failed to attract
his attention. A pistol fred close to his
head did not startle him, and he appear
ed unconscious of everything around
him unless it fell under his sight. When
his attention was apparently engrossed
by the pictures hanging from the walls,
one of the physicians suddenly jumped
to his side and shouted his name in stem
torian tones. but he gave no evidence OF
hearing, and when objects were pointed
out and questions asked he made no re-
sponse.
A thorough examination was made for
organic trouble, after which the physi-
clans were forced to the conclusion that
! it was a case of complete suspension oi
| the faculties of the mind, so far as sound
and speech were concerned. They be-
lieve that the lad can both hear and
| speak, but that sound fails to make any
| impression on his mind; that q pistol
| shot, voice or any other sound is con.
veyed to hisNmind the same as in other
| persons, but that the mind has tempo
rarily lost the power to distinguish be
| tween sounds, and therefore no impres
sion is made upon it. Loss of voice
they further say, is but an incident to thu
loss of power Of identity of sound. In
all other respects the child is perfectly
well. No treatment has been attempted
The physicians are inclined to believs
that speech and hearing may return, LIKE
they did one year ago, as suddenly al
they were lost.--Indianapolis Cor. Gin

MONTREAL, Jan. "a plebiscite on

great strength. For instance, in Ottawa
the English section gave a majority for
prohibition, whereas the French section
did the reverse. The Prohibition party
made a splendid fight, whereas the
liquor interests had no organization to
