BIC FIRE IN PlTTSBURG
Loss OF OVER $4,000, 900 BY THE
BURNING OF BUSINESS BLOCKS.
Flames Leaped Hundreds of Feet In
to the Air, Illuminating the
Surrounding Country.

Pittsburg, May s.-The greatest fire that
has visited this city since the memorable
one of 1S4s started shortly after midnight
in the immense wholesale grocery estab-
lishment of Thomas G. Jenkins, on Penn
sylvania avenue and Liberty street. and
three large blocks extending from Lib
erty to Pennsylvania avenue and from
Fifth street to Sixth street, have been
reduced to smouldering ruins. The loss
will exceed 100000, and is well covered
by insurance.
Among the buildings destroyed are Jen-
kin's wholesale grocery establishment,
Horne's six-story dry goods establish
ment, Hornes Office building, the Du
Quesne theater and the Methodist book
concern.
The fire started In the cellar of the Jen-
kins building, in a pile of barrels filed
with waste paper. The flames leaped rap
idly up the elevator shaft and an air
draught used to yentilate the great build
ing famed the flames.
When the Jenkins and Horne build
ings had become enveloped In the con-
Migration, Pennsylvania avenue was one
mass of flames and sheets of fire with
heavy columns of shoke running 200
feet in the air. The glare of the flames
could be seen for miles. and the streets
for blocks around were brilliantly illum-
mated.
AS soon as the fire attacked these
buildings several streams of water were
turned on them, but water had no more
effect that If 1t was not an extinguish-
ing agent.
Flames from the burning oil In the
jenkins building rolled out against them,
and in five minutes the two beautiful
Horne buildings were burning briskly.
A number of firemen were injured by
falling walls and live wires. but none of
them is seriously hurt.
Fireman George Atcheson. who was
one of three men in Cecil alley when the
Jenkins wall fell, Is missing, and is sup
posed to be under the debris. The names
of the firemen hurt are: Mike DAILY, Ell
mer Grecow, George Melsin, William Err
win and Robert Badger.
All were taken to the hospitals.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY GIVEN THEM.
Governor of Alabama VIII Protect
Mormon Missionaries.

Montgomery, Ala, May 3.-One night
last week some religious partisans In
Jackson county carried into the woods,
stripped and severely whipped two Nor
mon elders. The elders subsequently APP
pealed to Governor johnson for protec-
ton, representing that they had been
threatened with death If they remained
in the state. The governor has promised
to protect them and has notified the sher-
if of the county to make them his special
charge. The governor says the constitu-
ton of the state guarantees religious lib
erty and that the Mormons are entitled
to 1t; moreover, that the elders in this
state teach the Bible and refrain from
preaching polygamy and the fact that
they believe the Mormon prophet to have
been an inspired writer should not lay
them liable to persecution.
