NOT DEAD AND BURIED.
Count TOIstOi Merely Suffering from n
Severe Cold and Fatigue.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the London Times and
New York Times, commenting on the cir
cumstantial reports of the illness, death
and burial of Count Tolstoi, which have
recently appeared, contradicts them on the
best authority. He says Count Tolstoi is
suffering from a severe cold and fatigue
from overindulgence in his favorite eXer
else, riding. There is, however, no cause
for immediate anxiety regarding his condi-
ton. The circulation Of the reports, says
the correspondent, was caused by the wide
spread belief that when Tolstoi does die
the news will be kept by the censorship
from the public long possible. The
ecclesiastical authorities cannot accord
Christian burial to TOlstoi. as they have
recently denounced him a hereto.

starch Plant Burned.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Dec. Sire was dis
covered to-day in the National Starch Man
ufacturing Company's plant in the south
eastern part of this city. one of the largest
plants of its kind in the world. Lack of
water prevented the fire department from
accomplishing much, except to keep the
fire from spreading. The fire burned for
several hours and the plant was two
thirds destroyed. The loss on building and
contents is estimated at about $3.50 900: in
surance $500. 600. The Des Moines plant is
a branch of the starch trust. which has
headquarters in New York.
The fire broke out again after midnight
in the engine house and was communicated
to the steephouse. 1t is thought it will
cause an additional loss OF at least S25 600.
