A CONSIDERABLE FIRE.
The BesutifuI House 81 Mrn. .. A. Mays
with its Costly FurnIshinas Ia
Ashen Ruina.

On Friday night about II O'Clock
the elegant home Of Mrs. J. A. Mays
ON North Springer street together
with ali ia contents was destroyed
by FIRE. Mr. and Mrs. Mays were
both from home, the former being
at Shawnee, o. T., and the latter at
Greenville, Texas. There were no
persons in the house at the time the
fire was discovered excepting Cap
tain Hadley, who together with
several other gentlemen occupied
rooms in the building, none of whom
except the one named, were there at
the time. Captain Hadley SAYS he
was In his room reading and that he
beard something like an explosion,
but not realizing that Il was In
the house, be paid but little atten-
tion, In fact he resumed his reading
and Il was not until some Of the fire.
men broke in the front doors that he
realized be was in a burning house.
Outside OF this nothing OF the origin
Of the fire Is known, but IL most
likely had its start from an ex-
ploding lamp.
The loss Is complete, with the ex-
ception Of n few minor articles Of
furniture. The building was one
amOngth best and most expensively
furnished I'm the city. The loss can
safely be, estimated at 5000, with
insurance IL any not known. The
property belonged to Mrs. Mays and
was the pride, OF her heart. The
ARDNoREITE sympathiEes deeply
with her in her loss, but hopes the
fact viii develop tha: shs carried a
snfficient amount of insurance TO
partially indemnify her.
Cad Bennett, one OF the roomers
came in for a total loss OF ali his
wearing apparel which ammounted
TO fully 5000, with no insurance.
The fire boys with their usual
promptness and heroism responded
ag the first alarm, and worked like
troians as long as there was hope
and until the surrounding buildings
we're out Of danger. The fact that
the house Of Mrs. Hardy still stands
j. due wholly to their efforts. The
boys who performed such valiant aid
are too numerous TO mention in de-
tail, and TO particularize in part
would be an Injustice 20 the others,
sItiice IL to say they all did nobly
ard won fresh encomiums.

Events Of the Coming Year.

The coming year will be a period
memorable in the history ofthe world,
if but a part of the plans of the Uni
ted States Government and Europe
an nations is carried out. In the
United States, there will be the live
liest presidential campaign ever held,
and the Fifty-fourth congress, now
in session, will furnish exceedingly
interesting debates on the tariff and
financial questions until June. There
will be several exciting state
elections and many great political
speeches. Every one will watch
with interest the progress of the Ven
eZuelan commission Is inquiry, tho re
suits of the wars in Cuba, in South
Africa, in Turkey, and the outcome
of other complications now arising
in the Old World.
1t is a remarkable coincidence that
at the beginning of a year of such
rich promise of stirring news the great
est metropolitan newspaper in the
United States The St. Louis Repub-
lie, should reduce its price to So a
wear. or to less than two cents day.
This low price now places the Re
public within the reach of everyone.
Those who wish to keep posted on
politics, trade, national and interna-
tional affairs, during 1895, should at
once subscribe for it on these terms,
in addition to taking their own local
paper.
Newspaper readers who may think
they cannot afford to take a metro
politan daily paper, should at once
subscribe for the "Twice a Week y
Republic-1O4 papers a year, for only
81 n year. 1t contains the best oil
everything that appears in the daily.
