columbus, Ohio, Jan. 3.-The Franklin

east OF the city. burned early this morning
Inc CITY fire department was called al

mao ehfelopcd the whole building before the
engines reached the scene.
The children, of whom there were AZ in
the nome, were just rising
Inc attendants hurriedly marched them
from the building, and il is believed by Mrs
"A: d. White, the superintendent, that all

special train to bring the children TO the
city, Dut as the weather was terribly cold,
many of them had been taken to the houses
III the nelEhbOr6Ood, where they are ipnI-
porarily quaTtcred.
Being thus scattered, 1T Is difficult to tell
whether any children are missing or not
The attendants say all the children under
thelr care were taken out, and that there
was no panic.
Chief Heinmiler however, thinks it best
to seach the ruins for remains q nd has ca He'd

Iul examination as soon as the fire is well
out. II was still burning at 8 o'clock

in charge of the home by the county commits
sionerS.
She thinks the fire originated from a de-
lective flue, near the center of the building
ana this would seem to be corroborated by
the fact that there the fire first appeared
and cid most damage.
The central portion of the building was
completely destroyed and the whole in.
terror of the wings was burned out. 1t is
hardly possible that any one of the walls
can be built up again. In fact, the walls
OF the north wing fell in, under the pres
sure OF a strong wind.
The commissioners are severely censured
for the inadequate insurance on the build
ing. The insurance on the building ia only
$4,000, and that on the contents So 900.

SHE WAS MURDERED.
New York Real Estate Dealer ReSpou-
sible for Mrs. Runnetf,s Denfh


New York, Jan. 3.-New light was shed
on the mysterious death OF Mrs. Runnett q
the house of Real Estate Dealer Nellis
from an unexpected source last night
Joseph KatZ went TO the West Fifty-eighth
street police station early in the evening
and stated that he had accidentally wit
messed Mrs Runnett's death, and that il
was caused by Nellis, who threw the
woman down the front steps of his house.
KatZ volunteered his statement and after
ward swore to ii before Coroner HOeber
and as result Nellis was 70. once re-
arrested on the charge OF homicide and was
held by the coroner without bail while
the police look up the new witness
standing.
Katz also stated that his statement can be
cOrrObOrated by another witness, SER
want girl, who was in the street at the
time.
Mrs. Runnett, it will be remembered was
found dead in the arcaway of Neliis' house
last Saturday night, and the supposition
has been that she accidentally fell down
the front steps of the house and received
fatal injuries.

The stock consists of mems, boys and

evening I'm the main chapel OF st. Mary's
Seminary and were marching 10 their
dormitories discovered smoke issuing from

cellar of the chapel.
A bucket brigade was formed by the
students, but it was necessary to call out

Had the fire occurred an hour later

Of life, would doubtless resulted, as nearly
200 students were already asleep in ad-
