MIR. HORIZONS FUNERAL.
The Deceased Was Well-I(nONSI
Writer ON Financial Questions.

Oh lnOnC18I 0ueStlOnSs
Funeral services over the remains of the
late Samuel Dana Horton, who died at
Garfield Hospital on Saturday of Bright's
disease, were held this afternoon at St.
Johns Church. The interment will be at
Pomeroy, Ohio. Twelve days ago Mr.. Hor-
ton came to this city at the request of
leading members Of the administration for
consultation upon the financial situation,
and was stricken by the disease from
which he had long suffered.
Mr.. Horton was native Of Ohio, was
born in 1874 and was a son of Valentine d.
Horton, formerly a member of Congress
from Ohio. He graduated from Harvard
in 1861, resided for time in Pomeroy,
Ohio. and has of late years lived most Of
the time abroad, in England and the con-
tment, where he, perhaps, was better
known than in America. He had written
much for the magazines upon financial
questions. His best known books were
The Silver Pound" published in London
in 1889, and "Silver in Europe" published
in 1892. Mr.. Horton was a delegate to the
first monetary conference and was made
secretary of that body, and unofficially
attended the last conference, where his
advice was Of great value to the delegates
from the United States. The term ''bimet-
allism" was distasteful to him and he adj
vocated International parity of gold and
silver
Friends say that overwork was the real
cause of his death. He leaves a wife, who
is at Bath, England, and son, at school
in Switzerland.

Gambling Houses Burned.

Jackson City drinking saloons did -four
ishing business Saturday night, when a
large crowd gathered at this lawless set
Element to witness the burning of two
frame buildings on the east side of the
track. These buildings were constructed
and used for gambling purposes. In one
game of policy was conducted, while
in the other the more wealthy gamblers
used to play keno and poker. But bust
ness Of this kind has been dull for some
time, especially when the races are not
being held, and the buildings We're tenn
porarily vacant. AS it happened, there
was an northwest. wind blowing at the time
and this prevented the fire from spreading
across the track and destroying the entire
village. Besides these two buildings a
stable owned by John Wills was also de-
stroyed. Just how the fire originated is
not known, but it is thought that tramps
mad probably caused the trouble in an effort
to Keep themselves warm. When the fire
was discovered a telephone message was
sent here for assistance, but Chief Paris
Gid not respond, and so the only thing
done by the crowd across the river wGS
to prevent the flames from spreading 20
other buildings. The loss will not amount
to more than $1,000. on which d small
amount of insurance was carried.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Red Cross Headquarters ON Fire Last
Night.

Night.
The building at the corner of 18th and f
streets which was Gen. Grants headquar-
tiers number of years ago, and which Is
now the headquarters Of the Red cross
Society and the home of Miss Clara Bar
ton. came near being destroyed by fire
about 1899 o'clock last night. 1t is said
that a servant in the house threw lighted
match near a can of gasoline or kerosene
and caused an explosion. This was In the
kitchen, and SO rapidly did the flames
spread that the servant was unable to get
them under control. Sergeant Keefe was
not far away when the cry of fire" was
raised, and soon after he had turned In the
alarm several engines responded. When
the firemen reached the house the flames
had spread to the dining room, but no
trouble was anticipated, as the fremen
were certain that they would extinguish
the flames before they spread any further
Miss Barton and the other occupants of
the house, most of whom had retired, lost
no time in gathering together their valua-
bleS and leaving the burning house. Some
of the occupants of the house became eX-
cited and threw articles from the win
dows in their efforts to save them. In less
than thirty minutes the firemen had the
flames eXtinguished, and the occupants of
the house were able to retire. The damage
1t is'estimated, amounted to less than 500
The building is owned by daughter of
Gen. Caldwell. For several years it was
an annex of the War Department.
