A SAD FATE.
Family Of Eight at Cleveland, O..
Frightfuly Burned.
EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE THE CAUSE.
Two of the Unfortunatcs Arc Dead,
and others Are Expected to
Succu,nb to Their Injuries
Story of the Disaster.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 20.-The family of
Jacob Ciclecz, of GG3 Canal street, was
almost completely wiped out of ex-
istence by a horrible holocaust of
flames. Eight people were burned in
the fire. OF these, it is thought, five
will die. The injured ones are at the
Cleveland general hospital.
Jacob CiclecZ, his wife and three chill
dren, aged three, two and one years,
were in bed. John Ciclecz, a brother of
Jacob, arose about five o'clock to light
the fire. He took what he thought was
the kerosene can. Instead he got hold
of the gasoline can. He poured the
gasoline on the kindling and touched
match to the stuff. In an instant there
was an explosion. John Ciclecz was
hurled to the end of the room, his
clothing on fire. The fire commupicat-
cd to the feather bed in which We're Mrs.
Jacob Ciclecz, the three children and
another woman. Jacob Ciclecz was also
in the same room at the time of the
explosion. With their clothing all
ablaze, the father, mother and the
other woman seized the three chill
dren and ran out into the yard.
Passing workmen rushed to the res
cue. They took off their coats and
heroically did all they could to eS-
tinguish the flames that were consum-
ing the people. Meanwhile Mike Gum
bert, who lives at ego Canal street, and
his family put out the flames in the
house.
John Ciclecz' suffering at the hospi-
tai was terrible. The skin of his entire
body dropped off in patches. The finger
nails and flesh fell from his hands. His
eyelashes were gone and his hair was
singed to the scalp. His face was little
more than mass of roasted skin and
flesh. Mrs. Ciclecz was frightfully
burned. The Oldest child, Victoria,
was burned from head to foot. Joseph
Jerga, boarder, and Albert Jerno, the
father of Mrs. Ciclecz, were also badly
burned.
The indications now are that four Of
the victims will be dead before noon.
John Ciclez, the brother who suffered
frightful fortunes at the Cleveland gen
eral hospital all day, was relieved of his
agonies Friday evening. Victoria Cic-
Leg is also dead. Victoria is four years
old. The indications are that the baby,
John, and the younger girl, Agnes, will
die. They are unconscious. The fam
lily was in extremely destitute circum-
stances, the men in the household hav-
ing been out of employment for a long
time. Friends are making up purse
to help the survivors.

Canton, o., Feb. 2o.-Two important
bits of political news were developed
here Friday. One is that James A. Gary,
of Baltimore, has been offered and has
accepted position in Maj. McKin.

McCook, of New York, who is being
favorably considered by Maj. Mckinley
in connection with cabinet position,
has not been offered a portfolio, nor has
Mr.. McCook been definitely determined
upon for cabinet position, and if he
does become a member of the cabi-
net it is absolutely not certain that he
will I've the attorney general or that Mr..
Gary will be made postmaster-general.
