BLYTHE, Ca, Aug. 13.--To old
Richmond is due the honor Of the So
luton of the tie problem. Today our
first two bales of cotton were ginned
from the farm OF Mr.. P. B. Reece, the
ties for one of them being supplied by
Mr.. W. E. Norrell, who has in a very
simple but practical manner set aside
whatever objections there may have
existed against the use Of wire as a
tie. By his simple device they are eas.

Human Holocaust in New York.

NEW YORK, August 1l.-There was
a fatal fire this afternoon in the build
ings at 465, ACT aud 469 Greenwich
street, occupied by the A X Warren
electric repair works and number Of
smaller firms. Ia the excitement at
tending the outbreak it was first re-
ported that at least 80 lives were lost.
Some of those reported lost were after
wards accounted for. The accurate
number Of victims will moi be known
until the ruins are searched. 1t is be.
lieved, however, that the death list
will prove to be fifteen or twenty.
While the iremen were fighting the
flames the bodies of two victims could
be plainly seen on the fire escapes
Five men and boys were injured
while escaping from the burning
buildings. They were taken to Hud-
son Street Hospital mangled and
burned. What caused the FIRE IS not
known, but it is believed to have been
started by an explosion. It is known
that an explosion occurred a few min
utes after the fire broke out. The fire
spread like flash through the build
ing, at No. 465, wkere the fire origi-
mated. and cut off the escape OF many.
The fremen who first reached the
scene of the confagration saw num-
Der of men at the windows appealing
for help, but before any attempt at
rescue could be made they fell back
exhausted by the heat and smoke and
all are supposed to have perished IN
the flames. Altogether there We're
about thirty-two men employed by
the Warren Company. There were
fifteen on the sixth, or top floor, elev-
en- on the fifth, four on the fourth and
two in the Offices on the ground floor.
From the stories told by those who
claimed to have been nearby when
the first alarm was given faces were
seen at nearly every window. That
at least four are dead in the ruins
there can be no doubt, for their char
red bodies lie exposed to view on the
fire escapes Of the third and fifth sto-
ries. Two others, one girl, were
seen to fall back into the flames, over.

Worss torFure from another world than
we have seen men in in this world,
and without any salutary consequence.
Furthermore the prospect OF refor-
nation in another world is more I'M
probable than here. Do you not re-
aliZe the fact that a man starts IN this
world with the innocence Of infancy?
In the other case, starting in the 9TH
er world, he starts with the accunu-
lated bad habits of a lifetime. Is 1t not
to be expected that you could build q
better ship ont of new timber than out
Of an old hulk that has been ground
up in the breakers2 IF starting with
comparative innocency the man does
not become. cody, is it possible that
starting with sin seraph can be evo-
luted? Is there not more prospect
that sculptor will make finer statue
out of block Of pure white
Parian marble than out of black rock
that has been cracked and twisted and
split and SCARED with the storms af a
half century? Could you not write a
last will and testament, or write a
deed. or write an important document
on pure white sheet of paper easier
than you could write it upon sheet
scribble6 all over with infamy and
blotted and torn from top to bottom2
And vet there are those who are so un-
common sensical as to believe that
though q man starts in this world with
infancy and it innocence and turns Out
badly, in the next world he can start
with dead failure and turn out well.

It was the longevity of the antedllu-

Suppose you had case in court, and

WEATHER FOR AUGUsT.-Hicks fore.
casts the weather for August as follows
Warm weather will predominant, grow
ing in heat until past the New Moon
on the Sth, it eliminates in more
storms about the 10th and llth. A
breath of cooler air from the polar re-
gions is likely to come over most parts
from these reactionary movements.
About the 10Th q warm wave will
originate in the west, low and falling
barometer will be observed, and during
the 10Th to 10Th storms will touch ell
sections in their progress to the last.
Great summer heat will prevail in all
sections east of the actual storm areas.
but this will break down as the storms
pass east, leaving more pleasant wealth
ar behind. Rain will fall in many
places. The 22d and 23rd bring re-
dictionary perturbations, causing warm
err with low atmospheric pressure and
storminess. The Venus equinox is
now in force, and change to sudden
cool is likely to follow great heat and
storms. This will be especially so dur
inc the storm period, 2Sth to 3lst. The
month promises to close with cooler
weather prevailing generally. Earth
quake tremors need not surprise to-
ward the close Of the month.
