You'd have sworn she was dead in love

FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE.
Thirty Persons and 100000 Property

NEW YORK, Feb. l3.-A special

A great fire ragged in Guayaquil,
Ecuador. When the f1remen and
soldiers, who were ordered to help
them, finally brought 1t under con-
troll, thousands OF panic stricken
persons were wandering homeless
in the streets, many lay dead in
the morgues and property worth
nearly two millions of dollars had
been destroyed including the Cath
Ollie cathedral and the convent,
which adjoined 1t. The Herald's
correspondent in Guayaquil tele-
graphs that the fire was first dis
covered in the convent. 1t spread
with such rapidity that it was
with the utmost difficulty that the
majority of the inmates escaped
with their lives. The firemen were
on hand in few minutes but their
work was powerless to save either
convent building or the cathedral
OF st. Augustine, which the flames
Immediately attacked. From that
point the fire flew to surrounding
property and in an incredibly short
space of time many blocks OF
houses were in a blaze.
The city was saved from destruc.
ton by the united efforts of fire
brigades Of suburban towns which
had been summoned by telegraph
1t is believed that at least 80 per-
sons suffered death and at least
that many more were injured.

sion, recovered over $4,000 that
was hidden by train robbers a year

has been living in San Francisco
on the fat Of the land from the pro-
ceeds of the money taken from the

to by Jack Brady and Browning
over a year ago. The prisoner has
turned over to the police $4,000
which he had in the German Saw
ings bank, OF San Francisco, to-
gether with S., 900 in securities, q
diamond ring and a diamond collar
button. Harmens found the money
hidden under clump Of bushes

bers who held up the train had
buried 1t. 1t is known that the
robbers obtained over $50, 900 from
the Wells-Fargo company, but
