LITCHFIELD, Mimi, March H.
The Litchfield Touring mills, owned
by Church & Weber, burned today at
l o'clock, with the exception of the
engine house The department was
unable to reach the building for
lack of hose. A heavy wind from the
west carried the embers all through
the center of the city, and many
incipient blazeS were eXtinguiShed
by citizens. The warehouses at the
depot, and the elevator were soon
discovered afire, and before hose
could be brought to play thereon
were past saving. A message for help
to Willmar from Mayor Strobeck
brought firemen with hose. The run
from Willmar was made in twenty
eight minutes. Fifteen hundred
cords of wood at the mill were now
ablaze, and two streams Of water
ably half. The origin of the fire,
which first broke out on the roof, is
unknown. The mill office and two
barns were also destroyed. The loss
on the mill is estimated at 5000;
fully insured. The other losses foot
up $4,000, without insurance.
A

which contained twelve head of
horses and two COWS. With diff

Terrific Explosion In Massachu-

terrific explosion. The plant and
five boilers were ruined and other

narrowly missed it. When the ex-
plosion occurred j. S. Sezinanski was

scorched and her breast burned in
spots. The blaze was occasioned by
an explosion of gasoline poured on
a burning fire.
The scene of one of the most an
palling misfortunes recorded in this
city for years is q seven-roomed two
story frame building-an old struct-
ure. 1t was thickly tenanted yester-
day morning. While Mrs. Sumner
carelessly and innocently prepared
the engine of obstruction which dis
patched two souls to their Maker,
the lives of five others, all slumber-
ing, were placed in jeopardy.
Five people occupy the top floor of
S33 Payne avenue. Gene Ball and a
Mr.. Alfred, conductors on the
Omaha road, rent the front room.
The rear premises on that floor are
tenanted by C. V. Winans, also an
Omaha conductor, his wife and
daughter Daisy, child of ten
years. Conductor Alfred was away
yesterday morning. The down stairs
apartments, comprising suite of
four rooms, were rented by Mrs.
Sumner. Her niece, Miss Closson,
lived with her. Miss Shale, a resi-
dent Of this city, was stopping tenn
porarily with Mrs. Sumner.
Indirectly little Daisy Winans was
the cause of the explosion and fire
which terminated so disastrously.
Late Saturday afternoon Mrs. Win
ans sent the child for a gallon of
gasoline. In a moment of forgetful-
ness Daisy purchased kerosene. Her
mother poured a part of the con-
tents of the can into gasoline
stove used for cooking. The stove
was slow to light. Mrs. Winans won
dered why. She suddenly suspected
that 1t was not gasoline she had
poured into the stove. Applying her
nose to the kerosene can, her sus-
pisions were confirmed, and hastily
turning spigot on the stove she
undoubtedly avoided an accident
which might have
RESULTED FATALLY.
Mrs. Winans was thoroughly
frightened by the incident. Later
she poured the kerosene into can
containing perhaps a cupful of gas
oline, When her husband returned
she related her adventure, and he
advised her to at once carry the
mixture of explosives down stairs
and to throw the stuff away. While
complying Mrs. Winans met Mrs.
Sumner at the foot of the stairs.
Don't throw it away. 1 will light
my fire with it in the morning." said
Mrs. Sumner, upon learning Mrs.
Winans' intentions. The conductors
wife complied rather unwillingly.
She explained to Mrs. Sumner the
deadly nature of the oils, but was
assured by her that she would use
only a cupful of the liquid. Mrs.
Winans then left the can contain
ing gasoline and kerosene with Mrs.
Summer, and thought no more about
it.
Mrs. Frances Summer arose early
yesterday morning. At $40 o'clock
she stepped quietly from the bed,
in which her niece still slumbered.
Donning a scanty attire she pro-
ceeded to the dining room, in the
center Of which stood the stove she
desired to light. Less than two
feet away, between two windows.

There are eight meetings held at
Newmarket each year. some of them
only few days in duration. Another
thing which Americon horSemen will
be astonished at in the English races
is the hard handling given the two
year-olds. In this country it is rare
thing to send the youngsters more than
fall. when they are almost as good
as three-year-olds. Then they may be
asked TO go a mile.
One of the big stake events to be
run at Newmarket in the fall is the
Feather Plate. over a course of two
and quarter miles. One would think
that only the toughest kind of sea
soned campaigner would be sent this
distance, but all the crack English
two-years-olds are entered for the
stake. and its history shows that a

older horse. Last year the winner was

utility of this fireplace. Near the top

OF mutton are roasted, and beneath
the mutton are long bars hung with
roasting chickens so contrived that
the dripping from the mutton "bastes''
the chickens, who in turn serve some
useful purpose in regard to dishes be-
meath.
There is nothing sensational 4up to
date about the coming Derby. Last
year the English people stood to a
man on the success of Ladas. and the
victory of the colt was the most
popular in the long history of the
stake. This year there is no strong,
