A Real Anuie Laurls. /

a Pittsburgh Magazine, s'The Youths
Journal" has hnnted up the history of
Annie Laurie. She was nota creature
of Imagination, but an actual verify, of.
whose ancestry honorable mention is
made in Scotch history. Stephen Laurie
was fourishing merchant Of Dumfries
before James VI. became king. Prior.
to 1861 he married Marian, daughter of
Provost Coran, getting with her a hand
some marriage portion. Being man Of
many acres he took the designation Of
Maxwelton, leaving at his death his
lands and titles to his eldest son, John.
The next head of the house was Robert,
a baronet. He was twice married, and
had, by his second wife, three sons and
four daughters. The birth of one of the
latter is thus entered in the family reg
lister. by the father: "At the pleasure Of
the Almighty God, my daughter Annie
Laurie, was born upon the 18th day Of
December, 1882. about 6 O'clock in the
morning, and was baptized by Mr..
George Hunter, the Minister Of Glen
cairn." The we'll known lyric was com
posed by Mr.. Douglas Finland, an ardent
admirer Of Bonnie Annie, = who did
not, however, return his affections but
married his rival, Alexander Furguson

LATER NEWS.
Fire at the Worlds Fair.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Destruction come
to the worlds fair buildings last night.
The fire started in the Casino, just east
of the Agricultural building and south
of the peristyle. The Casino was quick
ly devoured, and the flames surged
n nth on the top of the peristyle and
drdpping made second line of fire
along the base of the columns. The
flames then sprang through the Music
Hall, which corresponds, at the north
end of the peristyle, to the Casino at
the south. q
The fire was carried by the burning
brands to the promenade around the
roof of manufactures and liberal arts
building, almost in the center, a little
to the south of the clock tower, which
formed a striking center-piece in the
great building. The plank walk OF
which the promenade was constructed
furnished material for the fire.
81 About 10 p. m. a great iron arch gave
way directly above the French wares,
and falling heavily, buried them be-
meath the burning pile, and they were
abandoned. Back of the French wares
was the Japanese exhibit, and about it
clustered crowd of scared and frantic
Japanese. This, like many. exhibits,
has not been released from bond, and
the goods could not be taken from the
building.
s. At,midnight President Higinbotham
atelephoned that he had been in the
burning building over two hours, that
the roof had fallen, but that Fortunate
sly few Of the exhibits were in range of
sthe falling embers. He estimates the
loss to exhibitors by water greater than
by fire, and that the total loss will not
g xceed 100000. At 2:15 a. m. the fire
was completely out. i
q The origin Of the fire is said to be re-
fenge on the part Of a couple of tramps.
The solitary guard in the Music Hall
says that Just before the. flames broke
sout he kicked two vagabonds out Of the
{ Music. Hall and told them to find quar-
tiers elsewhere. They left in the direc-
ton Of the Casino and soon after the
! fire broke out and soon everything on
the grounds was terror and wild con-
fusiony
VIM. Mackey, a fireman fell from the
peristyle and-was killed. Several others
were injured.
The Casino, peristyle and music hall
are not considered a loss as burning is
the cheapest way to remove them.
Fifty thousand spectators witnessed
Che grand sight and cheered the firemen
in their Efforts. Among the exhibitors
semi-panic reigned.
