Philadelphia Business Block Burns
and Many Perish.
Philadelphia. Oct. 26.-Twenty-one
known dead and property loss amount
ing to upwards of 100000 is the awful
result of a fire which occurred yester-
day in the business section of the
city. The number of injured is not
known definitely, but fully score of
victims were treated at various hos
pitals. Police and firemen are search
ing in the ruins for bodies, supposed
to have been burned to death. The
buildings destroyed were the eight
story structure 1919 and 1921 Market
street. occupied by Hunt. Wilkinson &
Co., furniture dealers, and two 3-story
buildings occupied by small merchant
men.
The list of known dead is as follows:
Dorothy Kramer, Martha Baker, Mar.
garet Hebden, Susan Gormley, Harry
House, H. A. Sparrow, Fred Whiting
ton, Charles Lands, three unknown
white women. one of whom is supposed
to be Margaret Gray; one unknown
colored woman, and five unknown
white men.
Never in Its history had Philadel-
phta experienced fire which spread
with such rapidity. At 1920 a. m.
the blaze broke forth in the building
occupied by Hunt, Wilkinson & Co.
and one hour later the horrible sacri-
fee of life had been made and the i'm.
mense loss of property had been ac-
complished The origin of the death
dealing conflagration Is unknown.
Such disastrous fire, attended with
80 great a loss of life in such brief
time, was never before known In this
city. Men and women died linger-
Ing, agonizing death in the presence
of thousands of spectators, who were
unable to lift hand to their assist
anoe. The rear of Hunt, Wilkinson &
Co.'s building faces on Commerce
street, small thoroughfare. In the
fire escapes at this end of the building
two men and one woman were slowly
roasted to death while the horror
stricken throng on the street below
fsts3ad sick at the sight In the front
on Market street woman driven to
desperation. leaped from window on
tho top floor and was dashed to death
on the pavement.
Firemen claim to have seen men and
women. unable to reach the windows
burned to death In the interior Of the
building. II this be so, little or moth
Ing remains Of these victims. and 1t is
doubtful II any portion of their bodies
win be recovered.

strapped in the chair.
Il killed the president because he
was an enemy of the good people-of

sorry for my crime"
These were his words as the guards
hurried him into the chair.
A moment later, mumbling through
the half-adjusted face straps, he said:
II am awfully sorry / could not see
my. father
4 From the time Czolgosz left hts ceai
Until the full penalty was paid less
than four minutes had elapsed.
Czolgosz held his last two inter
Iiaws last night. the first with Super
fntendent Collins and the last with his
brother and brother-in-law. Both in.
tarvtews were brief and the inter
viewers did most of the talking until
the question Of religion was men,
toned. when Czolgosz broke from his
seeming lethargy and violently de-
nounced the church and the clergy and.
made his relatives promise that there
should be no service for him, living or
dead.
Prior to the late evening interviews
Czolgosz reluctantly received Fathers
Fudzinski and Hickey. When they
reached the prison Superintendent
Collins conveyed the request for an in
tsTview to the prisoner.
Czolgosz sent back word that he
did not care to see them, but the
lriests asked to see him despite his re-
fusAl. Superintendent Collins con-
ssnAed and personally escorted them to
ths cell. The priests remained with
Czolg0sz for three-quarters OF All hour,
aAd earnestly pleaded with the pris-
onsr to repent and pray for divine for
g1venness. He rejected all their ad-
rsacss. however. and they regretfully
withdrew. Il was o'clock when Su-
psssntenqant Collins went into the
death house and tried to get the pris.
onAr to, talk to him. He was appar-
emily NOT successful in getting any
thing material from him. When the
brother and brother-in-law arrived
Superintendent Collins took them
down to the condemned mans cell.
There was no demonstration when
they met. CEolgosz merely stepped to
the front Of his steel cage and said:
Hello"
The brother ventured the remark:
II wish you would tell us, Leon, who
got you into this scrape." The assas-
Gin answered, IN a slow, hasitating
manner. "No one. Nobody had any
thing to do with It but me-"
''That Is not how you were brought
up, said the brother, and you ought
TO tell US everything now"
Il havent got anything to tell" he
answered. in a surlY manner.
"Do you want to see the priests
agatn?" asked his brother. and he al.
swered with more vehemence than he
had previously shown, mo. d-n
them; don't send them hero again.
I don't want them"
The brother-in-law interjected here:
''rhat's right. Leon"
The brother looked rather disturbed
BY the answer. Then stepping up
close TO the bars, the condemned man
said: And don't you have any pray
Ing over me when I'm dead. don't
want It. don't want any of their id

There was a painful pause OF few
minutes and then the relatives re.
Gumed casual conversation with him

UNKNOWN NUMBER OF WOUND
led IN BALLToWN CARNAGE.

Nine Blacks Are Killed and Dozen or
More May Die as Result of Wounds
and Neglect in the swamps-
Balltown, La, Oct. 30.-The race
war at q camp-meettng at Duncan's
chapel Sunday has left carnival of
blood uneQualled In the history OF the
country. One white man Is dead, an
other is now dying with bullet hole
through his stomach. and third white
man is badly wounded.
Nine negroes were killed in the
bloody affray-fve men. three women
and one small child. A dozen or per-
haps more negroes escaped to the
woods and swamps with wounds that
are believed to be certain death in
the brush away from medical care.
The fierce conflict ragged for half an
hour. Those at distance say the
firing sounded like pitched battle be-
tween troops. To the camp-meeting
negroes had come from 200 miles, all
up and down the valley.
A constable who was serving war
rant was struck on the head with
rifle by negro and then the slaughter
began.
The blacks fed from the frail
wooden church, for 1t was no shelter
from the rain Of bullets. Preacher
Connolly was shot while standing in
his yard. His daughter fell just in
side the house. The otheu negroes
around Crear Lofts place kept up
steady rain Of bullets. 1t was death
and blood and. the shrieks Of the
wounded and dying were heard on
every side. Lofts old mother-in-law.
his two daugAtera and the little bog
fell in a heap inside the shelter. Lott
was barrlcaded and the place was
fired. The fire forced him from cover.
and he appeared in the doorway and
20 rifle balls went crashing through
him. He fell In heap head foremost
on the ground. Parker and Beverly.
both blacks, fell with him. Joseph
Seal, Charles Elliott and Edward
Thompson. the wounded whites. were
carried to the home Of F. P. Sones.
There Seal died yesterday. Elliott
now lies dying. For.24 hours it looked
like general uprising to wipe out the
black race Of Washington parish. The
news spread like wildflre and yester-
day over 1.00O. armed men had reached
the scene Of battle.
Sheriff Simmons arrived from Frank
lin yesterday and the feeling subsided.
The negroes left the country. They
carried all the personal effects pos
sible. All who could rode On horse
back and in buggies and those who
could not ride took to the woods aroot.

 Naco made up its mind last week that the three Japanese cooks doing duty at the Country Club should be ordered out of town. A petition was circulated around town and quite freely signed. The Japs, however, heard of the intended movement and telegraphed the Japanese consul at San Francisco, who in turn notified | the local peace officers at NacO that he demanded protection for his country men. The petitioners let the matter drop, but two nights afterward ne- by Mexican and d white man, en- tered the tent where the JapS were sleeping, pulled them out of bed, culled their heads, tore up the tent and broke the furniture.

The negro was arrested and sent to Tombstone tO await the action of the next grand jury.
 The Enterprise says, Burt MoSsman has been named by the governor to raise company of territorial scouts to be known as the Arizona Rangers. This proceeding was made possible by the the last legislature in an act ere ating the company. When complete the company will consist of the cap tain, MosSman, sergeant and twelve priyateS. Their pay is drawn from d territorial fund known as the Rangers Fund, and is made as follows: Captain sl25, sergeant S75 and priyateS S55 per month. All men are supposed to fur nish their own horses. but their arms and ammunition are to be furnished by the territory. With the authority to arrest any criminal they may find, they are given the entire territory to work in.
