KNOXVILLE FIRE-sWEPT..
Buxine~s District Devastated by the
Worst COnflngration In
Years.

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. S3.-The
worst fire which has rayaged the
business portion of the city since the
disastrous million-dollar conhagra-
tion of 1897 broke out at 1880 o'clock
Monday morning in four-story
building on Commerce avenue directly
opposite the Central fire station and
occupied by the Knoxville Pants com
pany. In two hours time buildings
adjoining it on Commerce avenue, oc-
cupied by Broyles, Mcclellan &
Lackey, agricultural implement deal
ers, the L. David Commission com
pany, the immense establishment of
the George Brown Hardware COM
pany on Gay street, Shanl1lin Grain
company and the r. III. Cate & Co.
building on the same streets had been
completely Quilted.
Conservative insurance men say
the loss will be between 100000 and
$50O,0O0. Other estimates place it
much, higher.
The fire was a very spectacular one
and attracted a crowd numbering
into the thousands. 1t is miracle
that no one was hurt with the show
ers of falling glass and the terrific
explosions in the Brown Hardware
company that scattered bricks, burn
ing embers and all conceivable arti-
cles of merchandise. The collapse of

distress. The Manhassett changed
her course and bore down on the little
craft, which proved to be the boat
which had been launcbed' from the
Crary. Only ten of the men aboard
her were alive, and they were almost
HELPLESS as result of their exposure
to rigorous weather. Saturday night
one man became crazed by his suffer
ings, and, shouting at the top OF his
voice that the police were after him,
he jumped overheard and disappeared.
Four other members of the little boats
company died from exhaustion and
the exposure to which they had been
subjected.
Terrible Sufferines of Men.
All the survivors were frost-bitten,
and some of them will probably have
to have their feet and hands ampu-
tated.
The Manhassett came into the harbor
early Monday morning, showing sig
nails for assistance, and by the time
she arrived at a wharf ambulances
were ready to transfer the sailors to
the hospital. Only six Of the men
could be removed, however. The other
four were in such a critical condition
that it was deemed impossible that
they could survive being taken from
the vessel.
Two Of the men. on the Manhassett
are Capt. w. H. Potter, of the Louise
B. Crazy, and Capt. P. S. Kawling, OF
the Frank A. Palmer. The other two
men are sailors, both of whom are
raving maniacs.
The men taken to the hospital were
not only in critical condition phys
ically, but they were in such men
tai blight that nothing could be learned
from them as to their experience.
Of the 81 men carried by both yes
sells, ten comprised the crew of the
Palmer and II that of the Crazy. OF
those who escaped eight were from
the Palmer and seven from the Crazy.
Among those lost from the Crazy
was Mate James E. Smith.
Capt. Potter revived later in the
day, and was removed to hospital.
He said the Crazy was to blame for
the collision, Mate Smith having dis
obeyed orders in not reporting the
nearness of the Palmer.

CHILDREN AND THE BIBLE.


London Chronicle.
The sayings and remarks of children are
often presented for the amusement of the

that they have been compiled by adults,
but no such suspicion can fall upon the
amusing answers given in Scripture les
sons by London Board School children.
They are set down in cold black and white

Board
In Standard VI. from the boys, answers
like these were found on the examination
papers: Elijah wished to die. but God
made him do just the very opposite;'
"Jezebel was a very strict evfidOer."
Sometimes there are unnecessary embel-
lishments. remarks the examiner. as. for
instance, "Ahab was no scholar and used

young LondOner holds forth: Money

sort" Among the girls IL appears that the
dangers OF riches were often transformed
into the notion that rich people cannot go
TO heaven and that the right thing for them
10 do Is 10 Immediately distribute their
possessions among the poor.
The answers seem sometimes echo of
careless expressions of the teacher ac-
cording TO the examiner. AS an instance
