A COLUMBIA HOTEL BURNED.
The Fire Breaks Out at Midnight and
the Guests Have Close Call.

Columbia, S. c.. Dec. 8, 2 a. m.-This
morning at 1890 o'clock, Nelson's hotel,
on Plain street. a very large half-wood,
half-brick structure, was discovered to
be in a mass of flames on the top floor.
The building was owned by W. NJ. Nelson,
who went to Charlotte to-day and was
valued at several thousand dollars. The
flames spread with great rapidity, and
one of two of the guests had to escape
over the back shed roof, the other exits
being cut off. A considerable amount or
the contents was saved
ST. Peters Parochial school building
and the Ursuline convent adjoining were
saved by hard work.
The office safe was saved. The build
ing was partially insured but the exact
amount is not known. There is no clue
to the origin of the fire.
A negro bell boy was the only person
on duty at the Office, and he seemed
paralyzed. The flames had gained great
headway before they were discovered.
The building is a total loss.

went to work and catching one of the
ringleaders OF the party, promptly lynch
ed him. Half dozen OF these American
regulators were arrested but on trial
were discharged. One OF these gentlamen
made no secret of his connection with the
lynching, and after the acquittal OF the
Americans there was sort OF resolution
made by the Nlcaraguan officials 20 have
the case reopened and the self-confessed
regulator again put on trial Fearing that
he might get into trouble over the second
trial, this gentleman maze his escape

London, Dec. THE latest instance of
British greed for new territory is the
proposed protectorate over Lower Siam,
which would place the whole Malay pc
ninsula, from Singapore to Burmah, under
British rule. The Westminster Gazette
states that the extension has been on
the cards for years and has been clearly
explained by France. Such a protector

the Malays, who are now only nominal
tributaries of Siam, while the mineral

Britain. The others papers curtly refer

Remembered Generously.


The teachers association, held in Hills
boro last week, was one OF the nost suc-
sessful and largest attended school meet
lnRs ever had in the state. There was
an unusual interest taken IN the school
work and the leading teachers of the
state, including the superintendent of
public instruction, Mrs. Eisenhuth. and
Miss Bates, were present. There was a
banquet ut which over 500 gueets we're in
attendance. The association passed a
hearty vote of thanks to Mrs. Eisenhutl.
for her efforts IN the interests the schools
and in behalf of the teachers themselves
and evlnced their special good will and
esteem for the outgoing state super
intendent by presenting her with an ele-
CANT solid silver tea tray, sugar bowl,
creamer and spoon holder, with set Of
spoons, solid silver, gold bowls. 1t WAS
a most valuable and beautiful present
and will be most highly cherished by
Mrs. Eisenhuth. who severs her official
connection with the public schools OF
the state with the esteem of not only
the pupils and teachers, but of every
citizen who is familiar with the excellent
work done the last two years by North
Dakota's first woman superintendent.

The Shelving Gave Way.

Quite a catastrophe occurred in the
state library at the capitol last week, the
whole OF the shelving on one side giving
way, and precipltatlng hundreds of VOL
umes of books to the floor. The shelving
was about twenty feet 10 length, and in
rows to height Of perhaps twelve or
fifteen feet. and the whole case came
down with a crash which startled the
occupants OF the entire building. Miss
kittle Gray was in the library Ut the
time, and first noticed the topping of
the shelves and ran for the door, barely
escaping the fall of the books. The
accident was, no doubt, caused by the
too insecure support for the heavy
weight OF books upon the shelves. As it
is, the accident will necessitate new
shelving, but beyond this there is not
much actual damage, except that which
was suffered by the books in the fall.

A SUNDAY BLAZE.
A Small Fire Headed off in
Good Shape by the
Department.
The Opening Ball, Given by
Company II, a Brilliant
Affair.

The fire department was called out at
4:3O o'clock Sunday morning, to squelch
a fire Of mysterious origin, discovered in
wooden buildings located in the rear OF
MSchmidt's meat market. After short
fight the blaze was drowned out. About
1900 lbs. OF meats in the smoke house,
where the fire. seemed to have its origin,
were scorchsd.
NJ. Conklin was returning home from
an early train when be discovered the
fire. G. 4. Lieber, who was also return
ing from the same train, turned in the
alarm, and in very short time tho Ge-
partment was at the scene and had a
stream on the fire. The fire seemed to
originate in the smoke house. 1t then
ate its way ir to a barn, standing close to
it and also spread to the second story Of
a warehouse in which were 300 bushels
of oats. The lower story was piled high
with carcasses of meat. The fire was
reached so quickly that tho damage to
buildings and contents will be compare
lively light.
The smoke house was examined at
10:15 Saturday night, and but hatful Of
fire then existed. The building is lined
with sheet iron nearly to the roof, and it
is not thought possible or probable that
the fire had it's origin from any fire left
in there by the proprietors.

Fascinated the Crowd.

Mics Mabel Davidson. the we'll known
champion lady skater, who formerly re-
sided in this city. was giving an exhibi-
ton. of fancy skating in Lcring park
Minneapolis, the other day. Ropes had
been stretched around several OF the
electric light posts, forming an open
space Of fairly good slze. Fully thons'
and people were tiocked together about
the roped enclosure.
Miss Davidson began the exhibition
with a few inner-cut figures, pivot move
meuts and tho grapevine forward and
backward. The crowd enjoyed the grace
full skating and crowded closer together
as she oegan some moro difficult feats
Suddenly the ice began to crack with q
loud noise. The more timid ran for the
shore. but the cracks commenced to
widen and extend 10 length. A street
railway official who was present noticed
the water oozing through the cracks and
deemed it dangerous to have the exhibi-
ton continue. Miss Davidson was asked
to discontinue, and the park policemen
soon succeeded in scattering the crowd.
The ice had been put to severe strain,
and little more weight would have
been too much, and its breaking would
have precipitated hundreds OF people
into the lake. =

Sale May Be Declared OF.

The board Of trustees OF the reform
school met at Mandan, Wednesday, to
open bids and decide on location for
the school. They decided to accept the
offer of l60 acres at $40 per acre, from
Alphonso Boley, son OF the chairman of
the board. The site is several miles
north OF town. In tLis connection 1t
can be stated that delegation visited
the governor at Bismarck few days ago
and urged that the appropriation of slO.-
600 for the reform school at Mandan be
expended, but the governor emphatically
said mo- and stuck to his determina-
ton for the reason that there was no
money in the state treasury which can
be used for that purpose, and he posi-
lively declined to allow the existing de-
ficiency to be thus enlarged.

That Window Design.

The design in the window OF the senate
chamber at Bismarck is an exact repro
duction of the seal OF the state, and the
figures OF the year 1889 are not upside
down as some one has stated in the
press, but follow the words ''State of
North Dakota" and are in their proper
place at the right OF the design. Anyone
glancing At the seal OF state will see how
the senate window design appears-an
accurate reproduction in every way, aud
the man who described it as otherwise
evidently did not know what he was
criticising.
