"Much delay to the work and great an

FAMILY BURNED TO DEATH.

Seven Children All Dead.
HAnDEEv1LLE, 8. c. Especially. D.-About
three miles from this village, on the
Oestreicher farm, fire In which nine per-
sons lost their lives occurred. Atwo-story
frame building on the. farm was occupied
oy Jacob Solomons, his wife and seven
children, the eldest aged sixteen years, and
The youn zest, an infant OF one year.
The Coroners inquest disclosed the facts
that the house was shattered in the lower
story by the last autumnal storms, which
also carried away the chimneys, and that
5olomons had resorted to the makeshttt OF
building two fires, ono to cook on aud the
other for warmth, inside the lower stories
of the house, on two circular mill saws,
raised from the board floor On small pieces
Of iron.
The smoke, sparks, and flames escaped
as best they could. It was evident that
after the family had retired the breeze
that came up at midnight famed the
flames, which were communicated to the
partition of the stairway and set the
house on fire.
The verdict OF the coroner's jury was
that the victims came to their deaths
through the culpable negligence OF Jacob
Solomops in neglecting to build chimney.
