Six Persons Perish Ia Tire Which De-
stroys Much Property.
Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Feb. Gas far as
known six people were burned to death
and four and half blocks of the resi-
dence and business portions of the city,
on Ouachita avenue, were destroyed yes
terday. The fire originated in tho Ledger
wood bakery The residence of III. NJ.
Hundgkins and the bakery were de-
stroyed and in ten minutes the fire had
spread to half dozen buildings, and
famed by strong wind from the north
swept everything as finder before it. The
flames crossed the street and tho Ouachita
hotel and Oaklawn were next burned.
Out of nearly 100 houses burned in only
half dozen cases was the furniture
saved.
AS far as known there have been six
persons burned TO death, but rumors are
rife of others missing and the number of
fatalities may be increased to score
when the death roll is called. Among the
dead are: Mrs. Mary Sammonson, 20
years old, who was living in the Ledger
building; ID. w. Wing, of Glenn Falls,
N. Y, who escaped the flames at first, but
remembered that he had $500 in the
hotel and rushed back to get it. Before
he reached the door his clothing was on
fire and he burned to death in sight of
thousands of people.
A man named Hill, whose hands were
paralyzed, from Chicago, is reported as
among the dead also negro, name I'M
known. Mrs. Maggie Hiscock, house
keeper at the Oaklawn, ran out from the
rear door, a sheet of flame, and shrieking
sank down before help could reach her.
How many were lost remains to be seen.
The total loss of the conhagration will
reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.

HORSES FASCINATED BY FIRE.
The Animals Seized with a Strange
Madness When in Peril.

The panic that is inspired in the
minds of horses by a phenomenon so
| strange as fire can be understood only
! by those who have witnessed a fire in
large stable where numbers of horses
are kept, says the st. Louis Globe
| Democrat. The scene that ensues is
one of the most frightful that can be
| conceived. The horses are rescued
from the burning building with the
| utmost difficulty and only with the
most serious peril to the lives and
limbs of the rescuers. The animals go
mad with fright rear, kick and dash
from side to side so wildly as to make
an attempt at rescue as perilous as
an advance on hostile battery When
rescued they will often break away
from those who hold them and charge
back at full speed into the burning
building, there to perish in the flames
They resist every attempt to take them
out. They have been known to tear
their rescuerS with their teeth, to
throw them to the ground and trample
on them, to kick out their brains. AS
the fury of the flames increases so
does the panic of the unfortunate ami
mails. They scream out of their agony
as the fire reaches their bodies. yet
will they not for all that seek safety
in the open air. They are crazed with
fear, and yet remain to be burned to
death when ten seconds run would
carry them to liberty. But they never
make the run, and, as a rule, are
burned alive in their stalls, where
alone they seem to fancy they can find
security. There is but. one way to get
them out, and that is to blind them
with some convenient cover, such as
coat or a blanket, and thus, unable !
to see the dangers about them, trem- |
bling in every limb, apparently ready |
to fall to the earth with fear, they may
be led out. But the cover must not be
too quickly removed from their eyes;
in fact, it should not be taken off IN
til the animals are out of sight of the
burning building, otherwise they will
break away from the persons leading
them and, in spite of the stoutest eff
forts at restraint, will dash back to
perish in the flames.

tumult of feeling there struggled the
dim longing to throw herself on his
mercy, and tell him how sad and
lonely her life was, and how she had
striven to cast off the memory of what
once had been.
And when that longing took shape
and she found herself coherently put.

confession, a revulsion of pride drove

SUBTERRANEAN LAKE STRUCK
AGAIN.
Farmer Near Quincy Finds a Tremen-
Gus Flow of Water.

A subterranean lake or river, having
a capacity of nearly $4,000 gallons of
water every six minutes, has been dis
covered on the Knox farm, that is To-
Gated between EubankS and ChiOla,
about nine miles northeast of Quincy,
III. The facts regarding the discOv-
cry were brought to the city by George
Ohnemus, who lives near Eubanks.
Mr.. Ohnemus stated that he had not
seen the we'll, but his sons had, and
that they were so excited when they
related the story of the find that it
was very hard to get at the details. 1t
seems chat about the first of this week
some men began to bore well on the
Knox place, which is little southwest
of Chiola. They had only gotten down
about thirty feet when they heard a
rumbling noise From this on they
worked more cautiously till they got
down another twenty feet, when, all
of a sudden, water commenced to boil
up through the hole made to a height
of twenty-five feet. The pump that
they had provided would not near do
lOI SuCI 81 NOlul1c VI water DIS DtSdb
to pour out. Some farm hands were
dispatched to Quincy to procure
pump. The men got pump that has
a capacity of eighty gallons a minute.
The pump was attached to a traction
engine, and for the past two days and
nights the pump has been working it's
fullest capacity, and the well yet has
sixteen feet Of water. The owners Of
the well think that they have struck
a rich find, and, as a consequence of
the discovery, the people living in the
are all excited. This
we'll is less than a mile from the one
which was dug with similar results
recently The land in the vicinity of
the underground lake is, perhaps,
$50 feet higher than Quincy. The i'm
preston is growing that this body Of
water extends under this town and
later developments may distinctly
mark out it's course.
