OF The Bnrnet House. at Cincinnati, From
Destruction by fire.
Cincinnati, Ohio. May 29.-Early this
evening an electric light wire got
crossed in the billiard room of the
Burnet House. A guest noticed the
flash, but as nothing more was seen,
the matter was dropped. AT 1890 to-
night smoke was seen to issue from
the ceiling of the billiard ROOM A
silent alarm was sent TO the fire de-
partment. When the engines came and
the situation was examined, ten-blow
was sent in promptly Meantime all
the guests had been awakened and
brought down stairs This was done
without panic or excitement. The
only excitement was among the servant
girls, twenty-five of whom clambered
down the fire escape excitedly when
the exit was easy for them through
the halls and stairway. The fire is
confined to the extreme northwestern
corner of the building, where it smoul-
dered its way through the partitions
and broke through the roof. At 1850
it is completely under control. The
damage by fire and water will be con-
fined to the portion mentioned and will
not be above $4,000 or $4,000. The
eastern and southern parts OF the build
ing comprising four-fifths of its space
will not be affected.

Der of people killed, but later reports
show that the most serious effects of
the storm was the almost electrocution
of Annie Sullivan, ten-year-old girl,
who was on her way home from
school. She was struck by a live tele-

cross with an electric light wire. The
wire caught her across the throat and

The physicians tonight say she has a
chance of recovery.
The Miller street high school house

traffic for three hours.
The East End electric light plant
was partially wrecked, resulting in tn
machinery being stopped for the night,
leaving the entire East End in almost
total darkness.
The damage throughout the city to
trees, fences, roofs, etc., is big, but the
