Tried to Leap from Windows.
CITY WAS WITHOUT WATER
AND EVERY FIRE ENGINE WAS IN A
DAMAGED CONDITION.
Two Persons Burned and Others In
Caused by Lightning.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, July "A fire
ragged in the heart OF this city from II
o'clock this morning until o'clock this
evening, resulting In loss of 5000, 900. The
flames started in the Adelphi Hotel one
of the leading hosteries in the State, from
an electric wire on the fifth floor, and had
gained great headway before discovered.
The hotel was crowded with guests many
OF whom were women. OF these a number
tainted when the alarm of fire rang out
through the halls, and IL was with great
difficulty that they were moved from the
building. Many attempted to leap from
windows, but were prevented from doing
So There was not gallon of water in the
city reservoirs when the fire broke out, and
all the fire engines in the city were out of
repair. Rapidly the flames spread. and
soon half dozen residences were afame.
The brick annex to the Adelphi Hotel. on
the other side OF the square. also caught
fire. and was destroyed. This, ,as we'll as
the hotel proper. handsomely fur
nished. All is a total loss, together with
fices. fruit stores, barber shops and dozens
or smaller structures. Fire engines were
sent to the scene from surrounding towns;
but soon broke down, and the flames spread
rapidly and unhindered.
Prostrations among the fremen were nu-
merous but none will result fatally. c.
w. Yost, Of Catlettsburg, was struck by
falling wall, and his skull is fractured. He
is in a serious condition. There is still no
water to be had in the city, and much
alarm is felt for fear another fire will
break out.

OF the thermometer were:

During the greater part of the day there
was a refreshing breeze. and this, in con-
junction with occasional cloudy spells made
the heat quite bearable. especially after
reading afternoon accounts of the terrible
conditions existing in many OF the large
cities.
The reports of hundreds OF prostrations
and many deaths from heat in various
parts OF the country however. caused much
alarm here. and hundreds WHO felt the least
bit weak or overcome dropped business and
took TO shady spots. cooling drinks and
rest. So far as could be learned there were
no real heat prostrations yesterday. ex-

as dry storms" that very little rain
has accompanied them.
The indications for the next twenty-four
hours for a large proportion OF the heated
area point TO cloudy weather with showers
which. however, because OF their local
character, will bring only partial relief
from the heat. The predictions OF the
officials In Washington is that the temper
atures for the next forty-eight hours will
show a fall of probably four or five de-
grees. but that they will still climb above
the 90 degree mark in most places. The
Atlantic coast will get some relief from the
West Indian disturbance which Is now
moving northward.

RISING AGAINST PRIESTS
ANTI-CLERICAL DEMONSTRATION IN
THE CITY OF MEXICO.
Churches Invaded by Students, Who
Shouted '.Death to Priests!" and
"Down with the Clergy"

MEXICO CITY, July 2.-The public mind
is much excited and the clergy are filled
with indignation over the results of the
students anti-clerical demonstration yes
terday. The students to the number of 300
held a public meeting near the statue of
Columbus, on FL Pazo and Shiye drive
way. Stirring speeches were made show
ing the intense feeling Of the young men
and denouncing the recent immoralities OF
the few priests who. it was claimed, have
been shielded and not punished. A charge
was made that former Archbishop Labas-
tida was a traitor TO his country while the
present Archbishop Alarief showed no dis
position TO punish recreant priests with
that measure of severity demanded by the
nature of their offenses.
A company of mounted gendarmes pre-
served order, and the demonstration was
witnessed by Governor Coral. of the Fed
eral district, and by Chief of Police VIII
legas. The students, accompanied by great
number of people from the lower classes,
marched up San Francisco street, and on
the way the police arrested three men for
insulting women while going 10 mass. BY
this time the crowd numbered fully 1900
church Of Santo Domingo, where the Do
minican fathers officiate. Part of the
crowd entered during mass, when the
church was filled with worshipers, most
ly ladies. Shouts were raised of Death
to the priests" Down with the clergy.'
and the priests left the altar and sought
refuge in the sacristy with many OF the
worshipers Women cried and shrieked,
but the disturbance went no further.
Another part of the crowd entered the
church of Santa Carija. arriving during 12
o'clock mass Windows were broken and
images hurled down. The priests were
dispersed, and the students made speeches
denouncing the clergy. There were shouts
for Father Icaza, who is accused Of many
misdeeds. The women present were ter
rihed. and the police made several arrests.
but many of the prisoners were afterward
released. Many Of the students had coun-
seled moderation and against making a
disturbance, but the mob apparently
bent on showing its feeling toward the
clergy. In the afternoon people assembled
for prayer In the cathedral and other
churches, and to-day the Catholic people
are offering prayer for the enemies OF re-
ligion.
Precautions have been taken TO prevent
further trouble. but IL Is believed that IL
several priests who are publicly denounced
in the press are not punished the young
men may make an attempt 10 invade tenn
pies. Public opinion is divided as regards
the demonstration made by the students.
but the liberals and non-Catholics con-
slider that the clergy will now be COM
PEELED to demand the expulsion of priests
who have been causing public indignation
