Burning Building.

account of q fire near Jackson,
Amador county, Cal, in which a
woman and two children lost their
lives, but it is not generally known
that those people were former resi-
dents Of Lyon county. The follow
ing letter from Mrs. Frey, of Placer
vile, Cal, gives the details of the
horrible catastrophe:
PLACERvILLE, Cal. Aug. 30, '97.
ED. TIMEs:-The boarding house
Of the Union Consolidated mine, at
Weiland, eight miles from Jackson,
Amador county, Cal, was burned
to to the ground on the night of the
oath, at 1890 o'clock, and Mrs.
Craighead, wife of the proprietor,
and her two grandchildren, Alvin
and Walter Herbold, aged 8 and 6
years, persisted In the flames.
One hour after the family had
retired the night-watchman, who
sat within 80 feet of the house, dis
covered that the kitchen of the
building was on fire, and imme-
diately awoke the inmates. J, w.
Craighead emerged from the build
ing and called for his wife, who
made her escape followed by a
daughter and son, aged Is and II
years. Suddenly Mr. and Mrs
Craighead remembered that their
two grandchildren were asleep in a
room in the building, their mother
being on a visit in Pascadero, and
with cry Mrs. Craighead rushed
back into the burning structure.
The Waterman tried to follow her,
but was driven back by the heat
and smoke. The frantic woman
reached the room where the chill
dren were, picked up the eldest and
attempted to leave the building.
Just as she reached the hall the
building collapsed, and in a few
moments nothing but a pile Of
smouldering timbers remained
When Mrs. Craighead ran into
the building her husband broke in
a window and called for the chill
dren. to come to him. The youngest
boy Just reached the window when
the house fell. Mr.. Craighead is
badly burned about the head,
hands. and feet, but he will recover.
The charred remains of Mrs.
Craighead and the oldest boy were
found near the spot where the rear
hall door had been, and those of
the younger boy meath where the
window had BEEN
Mr. Craighead, on learning that
his wife had persisted, was over
come with grief, and had he known
that his wife re-entered the build
ing he certainly would have follow
ed her, and met the same fate.
The family, and two other per-
sons lost all their effects. There
was sum of about 5000 in the
house, but most of it was recovered
and sent to the mint.
A case of acids and giant powder
caps in one Of the rooms of the
building exploded and tore a hole
in the ground several feet deep.
In three minutes after the watch
man saw light in the kitchen the
whole structure was wrapped in
flames The building was about 70
feet long and 40 feet wide, and con-
tanned IA rooms. The origin of the
fire is a mystery as there had been
no fire in the house for four hours.
Mrs. Craighead was about so
years Of age, and with her husband
had been keeping the boarding

No, Within Limit, That Are Reasonable.

The other day a lynching in West
Virginia was averted by the judge
promising to bring the alleged criminal
to immediate trial and if found guilty
to speedy end. This appeased the
impatient people and they went away
in the hope that after all the guilty
would not live to green old age be-
fore his case might be finally decided
upon.
All this is in striking contrast to the.
not unusual proceedings where the
accused has money or influence enough
to employ the ingenuities of able coun-
sci. A case in point is that Of Theo-
dore Durrant, who now is in a fair
way to pay the penalty prescribed by
the law of California for murder. And
most foul, brutal, lustful murder it
was, that he is charged with, and several
years ago was found guilty of. He
had friends, however, and they be-
lieved him innocent and seemingly
every possible technfcality has been
exhausted though there may be left
few more resources at the command
of his attorneys. who have carried the
case through the state courts to the
Federal courts, where it did not right
~ belong. There ought to be u
remedy for such unreasonable de-
lays, though we hardly regard the
West Virginia judges obeisance to the
mob, the proper one. There is q rea-
sonabie limit and when that is not OBJ
served there is something wrong ard
those who have seen criminals escape

ur9s have excuse for irritation.

The Sultan has prohibited bicycling

ground that it is immoral and danger
GUS to the state. 1t might be we'll for
the Rev. George H. Hepworth of the
New York Herald to investigate and
report on this for it will serve to con-
vince people generally that the sultan
is an unreasonable tyrant If not a
bloodthirsty one. 1t will be useless for
anyone to try to convince bicyclists
that the ruler who has the power and
disposition to prohibit bicycling in his
domain has the purpose and not the
power to prevent the slaughter of

Waterville is exercised over the peren-
nfal tramp question. During the summer

order directing the arrest and imprison-
ment of every tramp found in town. The

not he so if the county officials attended
to their duty and executed the law BY
the act of 1889 it is provided that va
grant beggars shall be confined in the
county Jail for not less than 60 days for
each offence, at hard labor for ten hours
