Lives Lost by the burning of "a Building
In Troy. y. \.
Troy. y. y. Feb. I3.-Three women
jumped from the sixth story OF the Me
Carthy building on Franklin square to
their death shortly after five o'clock
Monday night. Three hundred others
fought with furious flames. and many
were frightfully burned and otherwise
injured in the frantic efforts to gain
places of safety. II is feared the list of
dead may count as high as 30 when the
full truth is known. IL is believed many
we're overcome by the heat and smoke
and were consumed by the flames.
Tn total loss by the fire is from $780,
GOO to 100000. with about 100000 i'm
surance. At least 500 people are thrown
out of employment. The firemen
worked with the thermometer down be-
low zero. and suffered very much.
The three women who were killed By
jumping from the windows were al
NEST unrecognizable when picked up,
so fearfully were their heads crushed.
Many of he injured were those caught
under falling walls

NORTHERN SPORTSMEN RETURN
SURPRISED AT THE GREAT GUAM
TITY OF GAME.
Particularly Delighted at Being Able
to Shoot in Their Shirtsleeves in the
Middle of Winter.

Parhoularly Delighted at Being Able
to Shoot in Their Shirtsleeves in the
Middle of Winter.
Two parties of sportsmen, a ma
jority of whom attended the recent
midwinter tournament, returned
yesterday from the coast, loaded
with game. In one party was
Thos. A. Marshall, mayor of Keiths-
burg, Ill, Fred. Gilbert, Of Spirit
Lake, Ia, Chan. Powers, Decatur,
H., Richard Merrill, Milwaukee,
b. HI. Wood, Medina, o., John
Parks, s. III. Scotch, Detroit, g. H.
Burkhardt, G.. A. Damon, Buffalo,
N. Y, and j. M. George, A. b.
Critzer, G. A. Hamilton and o. @.
Guessaz, OF San Antonio.
They were duck shooting on the
Nueces bay and all express them
selves as having the finest sport on
wild fowl they ever enjoyed. Most
Of the party are old experienced
duck hunters from the north and
say they never saw anything that
could come up to the amount of
shooting they have had on this
trip. Another great surprise, at
which they marveled, was the fact
that they could shoot ducks in
January, in their shirt sleeves.
This was the only time in their
lives they had accomplished this
feat and are loud in their pleasure
and in praises of our climate.
They promise to come again for
the midwinter shoot of 1897.
Thos. Keller, of the United States
Cartridge company, and o. r.
Dickey, the crack shot OF Boston,
returned yesterday afternoon from
a shoot on the Frio river. They
express themselves as thoroughly
satisfied with the sport but COM
plain that the local sportsmen fell
short Of their promises of game, in
asmuch as they found much more
than was told them.
They killed ten deer and sever-
teen turkeys, and quail and SPUR
rel were plentiful as fleas in
Florida. Two javalines were also
shot. These gentlemen were pill
oted by Capt. Harry Ownes, Mon
roe and Wallace Miller, of Austin,
Ike p. Lockridge, George Southern
wood, John Neff, j. M. Long,
Capt. John w. Mendall, Captain
John Brooks, of Cotulla. The gen.
eral verdict was that Southwest
Texas is the greatest game country
in the world and the Big Three,
(J. M. George, Albert Stoves and o.
G. Guesssz), were voted the kings
of Southwest Texas.
