THREE BRAVE FIRENEN, E While F. ling With Flames, Lose
 Their Lives
OAU 7 T BEHIND A DOOR.
Then- Companions Futile Ef- forts at Rescue-Great Loss
 of Property.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The mammoth four story stables and warehouse situated at the northwest corner of Second and B streets, belonging to the George W. Knox Express company, took fire few minutes before o'clock this morning. and by the end of two hours there was nothing left of the home of Thomas Bigbee but a pile of charred brick and timber. The loss cannot be stated accurately, but it will go over half million. The storage rooms were packed with the furniture, pianos, pic- lures, etc., of the families who had left the city for the summer and many were not insured. The storage was at owners risk. The books of the concern are in the safe, and that is at the bottom of the wreck.
 Six tiremen carried their hose into the burning warehouse through one of the large rear doors. This door was held up by weighted ropes, and the men had just en- tered the building when the ropes burned through, and the heavy wooden door fell, penning them in. The work Of cutting through the door was immediately begun, and was all but finished when the floors above fell with a crash. The immense weight burst out the door and crushed the roof and three of the firemen to death. Three others were with difficulty dragged out alive. The names of the dead firemen are: Samuel Mastep, Reuben Fenton and Dennis O'Donohue, all of Engine Com pany No. l.
 Kuox's loss as near as he can estimate is S125, ,000, insurance S75, ,000. Over 100 horses were burned to death ip the stable.

WHERE ARE THEY?
Is the Question Being Asked About the Hudsons,-All Kinds of
 Rumors Flying.

"Where is old man Hudson and his son?' is the question that was asked yes- terday by hundreds of people. It is gen. erally conceded that Jefferson county's big jail will never be recorded as holding R. H. and George Hudson, the two desperadoes who, on Tuesday afternoon, murdered Deputies c. M. Cole and Jim Smith and
 wounded two other deputies, for 1t is known that they have sworn never to be taken alive.
 They have grown desperate and ar5 Hght- ing tooth aud toe nail fight, and they are particular in keeping the best places for defending themselves. Every load of ann intuition is discharged with the most care- ful aim, and their actions have shown that they are fighting for blood.
 All day yesterday the mountains around Coalburg were secured for these men, but not single deputy could get close enough to do any shooting.
 Just where they are now is not known. Some claim that they are within one mile of where the shooting was done, while report says that they were last seen near the lower edge of the county and that they were making for Tuskaloosa county. One thing is certain and that is that they are mounted, for they stole horse yesterday from a farmer below Coalburg.
 Deputies and dogs are still in purs uit but with little chances of bagging their game.
 Old man Hudson is crack shot, having served as a sharpshooter under General Forest. Both of them are tough citizens, and they bear the reputation of having killed six men-three in Tennessee, negro at Coalbure two years ago and Charles Cole and Jim Smith.
 A rumor was current on the streets yes- terday that these hardened criminals had added another victim to their long list in the person of MT. A. J. Sullivan. How the rumor started no one could tell {, but after 6 long and faithful search for authen- ticty the rumor was pronounced an error.
