DELAYED TRAINS. T
All Three Were Behind Time Last Even
ing.

X M
The incoming trains were all late last
evening. The Marie Central, from the
east at $50, was delayed three hours by
the wrecked freight at Hillside, men
TONED in another column. The Boston
& Maine was delayed forty minutes by
fiIe in the mail car, due to hot box.
1t was put out by running the train
under the water tank at North Berwick.
These two accidents led to misunder-
standing on the part of two delayed trav-
ellers in the horse car. In response to
query one said that the train was de-
layed by a wrecked freight, and the
other said that it was delayed by a fire
in the mail car. This led to a. colloquy,
that finally resulted in their discovering
that they came to Portland on different
trains.
The train on the mountain division
was delayed about an half hour by snow.

JEALOUS DOG FANClERs.
Eight CANNES Poisoned at the New York
Bench Show.

New York, EFebruary 22.-Eight dogs
were poisoned with strychnine in the
dog show this morning. There has been
more or less jealousy among the exhib-
itors of pet or toy dogs since the show
began. The awarding of prizes did not
diminish the i'll feeling. If anything,
it added to the jealousy. The managers
of the show are very angry at the poison
ing and have offered a reward for the
apprehension OF the polsoner. This
morning it took definite shape. Mrs. Z.
Sem is one of the largest exhibitors of
King Charles and Japanese spaniels.
She also exhibited several Yorkshire
terriers. When Mr.. Sem arrived at the
show shortly after 9 O'Clock this. IN orning
he found two of the dogs sick. In a
short time others showed signs of illness.
He became alarmed and sent for a veter-
mary surgeon. Before he arrived the
two dogs first taken i'll had died, and
the Others soon died in great agony.
They showed every symptom of having
been poisoned by sJrychnine. The dogs
died one after another, until eight were
dead. Secretary Mortimer placed the
matter in the hands OF the central Office

SWEPT BY FIRE.
Hot Springs, Arkansas, Partially De-
trOyed by Flame.
TWENTY PERSONS ARE MISSING
MANY BUILDINGS BURNED.

The Fire Started in Bakery and Swept
Homeless Ones Cannot Secure Accomo-
| dation.
| st. Louis, Mo-, December "a A special
| from Hot Springs, Ark. says that an un-
| contIollable fire has been raging in that
city since four O'Clock this morning. At
six o'clock four blocks of buildings had
been consumed.
Among the buildings destroyed were
| number of boarding houses. and it is feared
that a large number of persons have burned
to death. At nine o'clock 1t was known
that at least eight persons had lost their
lives i'll the flames, and it is believed this
number will De increased.
| The fire started in the business portion of
the city, and as the streets are very narrow
ard nearly ell the buildings are construct
| ed of wood, the flames spread rapidly and
were soon beyond the control Of the fire
department. The latter is not " ell oIga-
nized and its equipment Is not sufficient
| to cope with an extensive confagration.
! The alarm was sounded throug hout the
entire city, and in many of the big hotels
the guests became panic stricken and
rushed from the buildings in their night
| clothing.
| n. NIT is now known that the Hot
| Springs fire started in a building ON Ouchita
| street, caused by an overheated stove.
Three persons were known to have lost
| their lives. DR.. R. Wing of Glens Falls, n.
Y, paralytic, was taken out. of the
Oaklawn hotel. He went back to secure
some traps and was caught. and is sup
posed to have persisted. Mrs. h. e. Cox.
chambermaid in the same MOTEL, ia badly
burned and will probably die. Mrs. Sam
mons, a clearinghouse Keeper. over the
| bakery, where the fire started. is missing,
and is believed to have been burned. An
unknown man in an adjoining house was
cremated. 1t is believed that there are
many other persons who perished in the fire.
\ About twenty persons are missing and
are not accounted for. The fire was con-
| fined to the southern part of Hot Springs,
| remote from the prominent hotels. The
detruction of so grea number of houses
| places many persons in serious condition,
as at this season of the year the hotel ac-
| commodations are tested to the fullest ca
paoity. There are hardly any vacant hous-
| es in the city or the neighb erhood and
those who confirmed invalids will find
| themselves i'll sore straits.
