CHILDREN PERISH BY FIRE.
Sig Lives Lost I'm Burning of st.
Agnes Convent, Sparkil1, N. Y.

Six Lives Lost In burning Oh 81.
Agnes Convent, Sparkil1, N. Y.
Six lives were lost by the burning Of
the st. Agnes convent at Sparkill, five
miles south of Nyack, N. Y, early Mon
day morning. Four persons were burn
ed to death and two others died after be-
ing rescued from the burning buildings.
Four sisters jumped from windows, re-
ceiving serious injuries. Two will prob
ably die.
st. Agnes Home Is conducted by the
sisters of St. Dominic. Sister n. Peter
Is the superior, and under her are thirty
six professed nuns and three novices and
three postulants. Rev. Philip Ahcarn is
the chaplain. The convent was used as
a home for homeless children. Several
hundred waits were in the building when
the fire broke out.
When the flames were discovered the
sisters and Chaplain Ahearn hurried
through the dormitories awaking the 300
boys and fifty girls who were sleeping
there. The startled, half-awake children,
as soon as they appreciated the cause Of
the excitement and realized that their
home was burning, fed in all directions
like frightened sheep. The sisters hero

to no avail. They rushed down the
stairs in a panic. Some fell and were
tramped upon by others. The sisters and
chaplain remained behind alarming the
children until driven from the rooms by
flames and smoke. The four sisters who
jumped from the windows remained too
long, and the flames cut off their escape
by way of the stairs.
The home was composed Of six frame
buildings. The three main structures,
where the fire originated, are Joined. A
stiff breeze was blowing at the time, and
the flames spread through the building
with great rapidly. The three buildings
comprising the main structure and one OF
the detached buildings were burned to
the ground. The hospital building and
one small outbuilding were saved.
The scenes outside of the burning in
sttution were heartrending. The chill
dren, many of whom were waits of New
York. were huddled together on the hill
side just north Of the burnlng convent.
Some eighty sisters, who also made the
convent their home, stood by, dressed
only in their night garments, comforting
and quieting their frantic charges. In
the midnight darkness the white-robed
figures presented a strange spectacle.
AS day dawned the news of the FIRE
spread to the surrounding country and
scores of farmers drove to the scene. The
children and sisters were loaded into
wagons and driven to Blauvelt Convent,
which Is situated about one mile away.
The fire was the third that has occur
red in St Agnes Convent within a short
time. Whether or not they were Of in
cendiary origin has never been deter
mined, but the fact that Monday nights
fire started in three separate places con-
vinces the authorities that the circum-
stances are suspicious. The property loss
is estimated at 100000. ,1ac.

Chicago Correspondence:


The underlying features Of the bust
ness situation are still Of a promising
character. The few changes that have
taken place lately have been for the bet
ter, and the result of this Is that the
feeling of confidence in the future is
gaining strength. There is no longer any
apprehension felt in regard to the money
market, borrowers and lenders alike be-
ing now pretty well satisfied that moth
ing approaching tight market can be
brought about. The West seems abun-
dainty supplied with funds and appar-
emily able to provide for the moving Of
the crops this fall without any great
amount Of assistance from the Eastern
financial centers. Furthermore, the pres
ent condition Of the foreign exchange
markets makes it certain that any impor>
country would at once start a gold-im-
porting movement of considerable pro-
portions.
The stock markets this week have con-
tinued to gain strength. Efforts on the
part of the professional bear element to
depress prices for the standard railroad
shares have been defeated simply be-
cause of the fact that the actual bust
ness position of the country is hostile to
such operations. In some of the purely
speculative stocks shake-outs have oc-
CURED, but the investment properties
have not only stood their ground, but
many Of them have made further ad-
vances. London has been quite heavy

CRUSADE AGAINST MoRMoNs.

southerners Using Tar and Feathers
to Get Rid of Missionaries.
A new crusade has been begun
throughout the South which will lead
to riot and bloodshed. 1t seeks the ex-
termination of Mormonism In the South
ern States. or late years the Utah sect
has been gaining a foothold in the noun
tain regions that alarms those who hold
decided views in opposition to the polyg-
amous religion and the result Is an eff
fort to break up the congregations.
Within ten days fifty elders have been
assaulted and driven from the places
where they were preaching. Assaults
on missionaries who are seeking con-
verts in the mountains are numerous. In
Georgia and Kentucky Cows. Gambler
and Bradley have been appealed to to
give the Mormons protection, but the adj
ministering of decayed eggs, followed by
tar and feathers, continues.
President Rich, of the Southern Nor
mon Mission, is hot after the perpe-
traitors of outrages on the elders and
their churches. He has already offered
$500 reward for the capture of the men
who instigated recent mobbings Of Nor
mons in Georgia, and as soon as he re-
ceives the authority from the head of the
church, he will offer large rewards for
the arrest of the men who have been
committing outrages in Eastern Ken
lucky, especially in Fleming and Bell
Counties. He says the Mormon Church
will spend $1,000,000 to keep the mis-
sionaries at work in the mountains.
Perryville, KY, is full of Mormon
elders, who are meeting with strong OPP
position. They have been refused every
public building in the city, and are COM
PEELED to preach on street corners and
in alleys. Several citizens have posted
notices on their yard gates requesting
Mormon elders to stay out of their
homes. At least one hundred of these
elders are in the mountains of Southern
Kentucky and Eastern Tennessee.

A suit has been filed in the District
Court at Omaha, Neb., by Attorney Cen
eral Smythe the petition in which de-
clares the existence of school furniture
trust, and asks that the unlawful COM
bination be prohibited from doing busi-
ness in Douglas County or in the State
Of Nebraska. The defendants in the suit
are twenty-five school furniture COM
panies, nearly all located. in Ohio and
Michigan, which the Attorney General
states have formed a combination under
the title Of the American School FurHi-
ture Company. The petition alleges that
this unlawful combination Is incorporat-
ed under the laws of the State of New
Jersey, with a capital stock of $1,000
600, and that the sum of $5OO,OOO has
been set aside to be used in driving out
competition. The entire control OF the
output of the companies and the regu-
lation Of prices Is said to have been put
in the hands Of committee of five and
the result, according to the petition, is
that prices have been advanced 20 per
cent. The Attorney General alleges that
this combination is a trust and con-
spiracy against trade and asks that 1t be
prohibited from doing business or enter
Ing into contracts within the State and
that it be prevented from entering into
any negotiations with the Omaha Board
of Education.

Vow to Wreak Vengeance on the Zuni

A furious outbreak between the
Apaches and the Zunis Is looked for. The
tribes have always been unrelenting cne-
mics, and the Zunis have just murdered
and shockingly mutilated an Apache
buck, his squaw and pappoose. who had
left their reservation near Camp Verde
and were surprised in lonely defile. A
band Of Apaches bought a large supply
Of ammunition and extra guns at Jerome,
Ariz. The Zunis are Of New Mexico and
the Apaches OF Arizona. The fight thus
renewed Is likely to result in the prac-
teal determination of one of the tribes.
There are no soldiers within reach, and
the settlers are not disposed to interfere.
The Apache war party, after taking an
oath Of revenge on the dismembered bod
les of their slain, started north toward
