GALES CAUSE Loss OF LIFE,
British Cleaner ArnO FOundered
Near a Lightship.

London, Feb. pa heavy gale swept
the British Islands yesterday and has COM
tinued to-day, causing foods at many
points. Rivers have oyerfiowed their
banks; railroads have been submerged
and there have been numerous casualties
along the coast.
1t is feared that the loss of the British
steamer Arno, which foundered in the
gale off Nab lightship will prove very
serious disaster. The captain and three
members of the crew, who reached South
Sea in an exhausted condition, with their
boat practically smashed up, report that
thirteen men are missing of the ships
company One of the men had his les
broken and none for a time was abe to
give any coherent account of their ex-
perience, so terrible had been their sur
ferings.
The Arno was wrecked within hailing
distance of the lightship and sank rapid
ly. The boats were launched, but the cap
tain's boat was found water-loggcd, and
il is doubtful whether the others could
live in the boiling sea. After the boat of
the survivors was stove in they were lit
orally cast ashore.
At o'clock in the morning they were
found lying helpless by the police and
coast guards, and one was barely restored
by artificial respiration.

FIRE IN AN INSANE ASYLUM.
Caused Death of Seventeen of the
Unfortunate Inmates.

Yankton, s. D., Feb. Zone of the
most horrifying fires in the history Of
Yankton occurred this morning at 2
o'c.ock at the state insane asylum, when
one of the cottages took fire in the base
ment completely cutting the building and
causing the loss of lives of seventeen in
mates confined there.
The burned cottage stands some 300 feet
i'm the rear of the main building, the
water tank for fire protection standing 100
feet in the rear of the cottage,
The intense heat in the building caused
the pipes to burst shortly after the fire
began, leaving the fire hose without power.
With the thermometer standing at % de-
grees below zero, the inmates who could
escape came down the narrow flight Of
stairs in their night clothing and bare feet
into the bitter cold, and had ii not been
for the nearness of shelter the suffering
and probable loss of life from freezing
would have been terrible.
Fifty-two persons we're in the burned
building, forty patients and twelve female
attendants. The attendants escaped.

sNOwsLIDE CARRIES DEATH.
Eight Bodies Found and the Worst
Is Yet to Come.

Silver Plume, Col, Feb. 1.-TWO mighty
snowslides, combinging into one, swept
down Cherokee Gulch at s o'clock this
morning, carrying away dozen or more
mine buildings, cabins and machinery and
causing great loss of life and damage TO
mine property.
How many dead bodies lie in this great
mass of snow and debris will not be known
before spring.
Eight dead bodies are now at the
morgue, two more persons are known to
be lost and three have been taken out
alive. The rescuing party has only pene-
trated about fifteen feet into the mass Of
snow and wreckage piled up at the foot
Of the gulch to the depth of seventy-five
feet. The dead are as follows:

children, boy aged 5, and a girel aged q

The slide to-day started in what is
known as Cary City gulch. 1t swept over
the Pelican mines tunnel house, carrying
away the mine dumps and buildings, and
hlling the entire valley.
AS the snow slide reached the. main
gulch the snow in Swallow Hen gulch. on
the opposite mountain, broke away and
rushed down to Cherokee gulch. Here the
two avalanches met and continued their
course toward the town.
Just back of Silver Plume in the main.

Their cabins were directly in the path of
destruction, and were crushed like egg
shells. Trees were torn up by the roots
and gigantic boulders carried away like
pebbles.
A turn in the gulch. just as it opens on
the town checked the slide and it now
stands threatening destruction to at deast
portion of this camp should the remain

Every available man from Silver Plume
and Georgetown is now digging for the
bodies of the missing.
