WHOLESALE MILLINERY STORE Quilted.
Fire Spreads So Rapidly That Escape
Is Cut Of and the Fire-Escapes and
/ Ladders Have to BE Used to Get the
/ Men and Girls to safety-The Loss
Is Heavy.

Cleveland, O., April 17.-The immense
wholesale millinery establishment of
Hart & Co., occupying an entire block
from Bank to Academy street, is burn
ing and will probably be entirely de-
stroyed. The third alarm has been sent
in. Ambulances have been called.
1t is said by the tiremen that no lives
have been lost, but several are known
to have been injured. The flames are
spreading. Twenty engines, a water
tower and two fire boats are throwing
perfect deluge of water into the burn
ing buildings. The fire originated in
the four-story brick building occupied
by Comey & johnson, hat manufac-
turers, and spread with lightning ra-
pidity throughout the entire structure
and to the adjoining brick block occu-
pied by Hart &, Co., wholesale milliners,
and several other firms. Both buildings
are doomed. The loss SO far is rough
ly estimated at half million dollars.
Both buildings were crowded with
hundreds of girls. Many of them were
carried down the fire escapes by the
fremen.
Men on the Roof.
About dozen men were cut off from
escape in the Hart building and ran
to the roof and began crying for assist
ance.
The crowd below looked on, horror
stricken, but unable to do anything but
beg the unfortunates not to jump, but
to wait for the ladders, which were be-
ing goth shape as fast as possible. The
firemen eventually succeeded in getting
ladders into position and all on the
roof were soon brought safely to the
ground.
The injured so far as known at this
hour are:
Mary Millet, burned about face and head.
condition critical.
e. j. Rockert, badly burned.
Dennis Carmody, badly burned.
Sumner Noble, badly injured
John Rauschert, badly burned.
Several firemen were slightly
scorohed. Roclert jumped from win
dow and is severely injured.
The flames spread to the Franklin
block, occupied by Reed Brothers d
Co., wholesale milliners, and H. Black &
Co., manufacturers of ladies' cloaks.
The firemen succeeded in saving this
building, but the loss on stock from
smoke and water will be heavy. After
two and half hours the fire was
brought under control. The total loss
is estimated at from 100000 to $780,
600, partially covered by insurance.

AN INTERESTING TALK.
Rev. =. A. Hunter Lectures to the
Members Of the Y. M. c. A. ON
Friday Evening.

Rev. s. A. Hunter Of Pittsburg
lectured before the members OF the Y.
NJ. G. A. at their rooms at the Uni
versity on Friday evening. The ball
was comfortably filled although the
crowd would have been mnch larger
had the time of notice been longer.
The talk was very interesting.
DR.. Hunter took for his theme the
inducement for missionary work in
China. Taking up the fields OF mis-
sions the speaker showed that the
fields of effort were Africa and Asia
and especially China. The work in
Africa would soon be completed but
that in China was one Of great diff
Guilty and it would take the best effort
possible to ever accomplish.
The Chinese are not the interiors
of the missionaries in mental ability
but Gin many cases they are superior
and the missionaries are at a tremen-
dous disadvantage. The work re-
quires the best that we have in our
possession.
The history Of China for five thou
sand years was taken up and the diff
ferent epochs in it discussed at length.
The audience enjoyed this part OF the
talk immensely. There is much TO
be learned OF the peculiar people who
live on the other side Of the globe and
Rev Hunter having spent twelve
years among them speaks as an au-
thority on the subject.

Pulp Mill Goes to Va.

1t looks like this state has lost
the big pulp mill which was intend
ed to be located at Caldwell, in
Greenbrier county. This was, by
far, the most extensive industry
that has sought a location in West
Virginia. 1t would have employed
one thousand men and would easily
have built up town of from five to
ten thousand people. In addition
to this it would have created a de
mand for class OF timber that is
now entirely worthless, and that
section of the State has an abun-
dance of timber.
The mill has been located over
the line in Virginia, where there are
no fish to destroy and where the
people do not drink water. In con
nection with the 80 miles of the
Greenbrier Valley railroad, which
was being projected largely to fur
nish this mill, it meant much to that
section of the state.

A WONDERFUL SUCCESS.
Is Whittington's Mammoth Shoe and
Clothing Store

One of the most complete and
marvellous successes in the history of
Morgantown is the business of VIM.
Wilmington. Starting only few
months ago in new venture which
people said would be failure, he has
completely astonished the whole
county. The business has increased
by leaps and bounds until it has grown
to be enormous. He is to-day shoe
ing more people than all the other
stores in the county In the last 60
days he has shod 5000 people in 5
states by his coupon book and each
day ships out more shoes than com
mon stores sell in month. His bus
mess to-day is as large as some Of the
large city stores. Mr.. Wilmington
also carries one of the most complete
lines Of clothing and gents furnishings
in town and caters to the very best
trade. Whittington's store is the
talk of the county. Posten Building.

Row Over the Gun.

There seems to be some trouble at
arriving at a conclusion as to which
gun Clarksburg citizens will choose
of the two the government offers.
One is a large 12-inch gun, taken
from the Vizcaya, while the other is
a small gun, weighing about 4,50o
pounds, taken from MORO Castle.
The large 12-inch gun weighs 1900
pounds and the man objection ad
vanced against it is its ponderous
ness, and the necessary trouble in
loading so heavy gun and trans
porting it from Washington there.
1t is in the navy yard at present.
Several declare themselves In favor
of the small gun, among whom is
Judge Nathan Golf Others desire
the large one. Preparations will be
commenced for mounting the gun as
soon as it is decided which one it
shall be, which will be determined at
once
