roUK LOST rngiR LIVES.


niempnis, Tenn.
Memphis, Tenn, March "a. In a.
fire which broke out in the boarding
house Of Mrs. Nolan, at No. 10i Court
street, at 2.30 O'Clock this morning,
four people lost their lives and several
were seriously injured. The dead are;
Mrs. Chaplin, widow: Roy Chaplin,
her son, aged 10 years; Chester Chaplin,
aged 4; William Smith. Mrs. Chaplin
was q stenographer for Bradstreet's.
All four we're sutfocated.
Those most seriously injured are:
Robert Campbell. leg broken; Katie
Lloyd, stenographer for Mayor Will
liams, burned about the face; Paul
Martin, badly burned about the face
and arms. Several others are reported
injured but their names and where
abouts could not be ascertained at this
hour.
1t is the second fire in the same
building during the night and 1t was
thought the earlier blaze was not en-
tirely extinguished.
An unknown woman is missing, and
it is feared she persisted in the flames.
William Smith, one Of the victims,
was painter and paper hanger. Miss
Lloyd was sleeping in rear room OF
the building. Her bed was afire when
she awoke, and she leaped through the
window and fell to the ground, 20 feet
below She lay on the ground for Is
minutes before her presence was dis
covered.
The fire was remarkably rapid
| one and had made considerable head
way by the time the firemen arrived on
| the scene.
GREAT FIRE IN CLEVELAND.
Cleveland, O., March "a. Fire broke
out early today in the japanniug de-
partment of the Dangler stove and
manufacturing plant on Perkins avenue
near Wilson, and Notwithstanding the
enormous quantity of water poured
into the building by Is engines, the
structure, filled with valuable ma
chinery and large quantities of manu-
featured goods, was practically de-
stroyed.
The high winds which prevailed
caused the fire to spread to the plant of
the Cleveland Machinery Screw Co.,
adjoining the Dangler works, and it
also was destroyed.
The loss on the Dangler works is con-
| servatively estimated at $500, 900 and
ON the Cleveland Machinery Screw
| plant at $3.50, 000 The machine screw
works loss is fully covered by insur-
ance, but the Dangler plant is only
partially insured. =,
Three hours after the fire started a
wall at the screw works fell burying
Lieut.. Roth of Co. No. Z, instantly
killing him. Later in the day Roth s
body was taken from the ruins, badly
crushed and burned. u
Seven hundred men are thrown out
of employment as result of the fire.
