Nine BURNED TO DEATH.
Victims of a Fire Trap Hotel at
Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, February 90
Fire this morning destroyed the Cliff
ton Hotel, cremated nine of the guests
and caused injuries to forty two per-
sons, who were scorched or forced to
jump to the frozen street from second
and third story windows. After an
all-day search in the debris, four
bodies have been recovered. It is now
believed that five more bodies remain
in the ruins Of the hotel, which is said
to have been a himsy structure and
filed with delegates to the State
Young Mems Christian Association
Convention, and the District Conven-
tion of the knights Of Pythias. The
hotel register was destroyed, thus
making it difficult to ascertain the
number of missing persons. Forty
men have been working in the rub
bish ali day, and will continue to dig
for the remains of the burned persons
all night. The loss is $50, 600. Near
ly all those injured we're Iowa people.
While their injuries are severe in
many cases no one was fatally hurt.

HELD FIFTY POLICEMEN at BAY.
A Negro Desperate in New Or,
leans Besieged in a Boom and
Holds the Fort Against
all Corners
Until he is Smoked Out by Cotton, Oil
and Sulphur.

New Orleans, La, February 20
After holding half q hundred policemen
at bay for several hours, during
which scores of shots were exchanged,
Lafayette Sims, desperate negro,
was killed by the police early today q
negro boarding house situated on
South Rampant street. The room in
which he was besieged had to be set
on fire and the fire department called
out before Sims could be driven from
his post. AS he attempted to escape,
still carrying his gun, he was shot
down. The body was taken to the
morgue without any demonstration
from mob of several thousand ne
groes, who crowded the vicinity
of the tragedy.
The origin Of the trouble was trivial.
Sims occupied room in the board
ing house, in which there were seven
beds. On retiring last night he locked
the door and when the landlord early
this morning asked him to open it
so that another lodger might be admit
ted Sims refused. Then the landlord
sent for the police. Efforts to per
suade Sims to open the door failed and
a hole was smashed in it. Through
he aperture Sims began shooting.
One bullet knocked pistol from the
fingers of Officer Windstern and a
second shattered the lantern which the
officer carried. Thereupon additional
policemen were sent for and the house
surrounded.
When reinforcements had arrived the
negro landlord and an officer again
went to the room and pleaded with
Sims to come out and surrender.
"No, I WON'T he answered with
an oath. "I'll shoot if you don't go
away; am not going to leave here.
They'll burn me in oil. They'll fry
me-"
Sims piled some furniture in the
room against the door and was pre-
pared to fight for his life. AS the
landlord and the officer retreated the
desperate fred at them without doing
any damage. Ali efforts to induce the
prisoner to surrender having proved in
effective, Superintendent Journee
decided that there was nothing to be
done but to smoke the negro out. An
alarm was turned in and portion of
the fire department brought to the
scene.
A quantity of cotton, oil and sulphur
was sent for, the cotton rolled into
balls and saturated with oil, match
applied and the blazing substance
hurled into the room, every avenue OF
escape being guarded. The furniture
in the room caught quickly, filing
the place with smoke and fame. Sims
hung on his hiding place until he was
nearly suffocated and then made a
break to escape. AS he appeared at
the door Patrolman Fred Smith fred

at him. The negro staggered, mortal
ly wounded. Instantly other police
men fired on him and he fell dead. The
fremen extinguished the flames and
the body was dragged out and taken
through a lane of excited negroes to
the police station.
Examination of the room following
the tragedy showed that Sims had
gotten possession of Officer Windstern's
revolver after shooting it from his
haeds.

Portraits on Tombstone.

ing keen interest in an enterprise
which had it's origin in Denmark, for
reproducing the pictures of dead per.
sons on their tombstones. They say
that 1t Is very probable that the move.
ment will spread to America in a short
time. The picture on the tombstone
craze started among the Danes DIS a
result of the use OF artificial marble.
A Danish master builder succeeded
In producing q stone Of such delicate

durability is said 10 be as grge4 as
that of the genuine marble. 1t was
also found that it WAS POSSIBLE to re
produce, by carving, a picture of the
deceased person, In the imitation mar

The newly published criminal stalls.
Tics OF the German empire are not
pleasant reading. All along the line
they show an increase in crime ovey
she previous year, which cannot alto
Eether be accounted for by che natural
Increase of population. The total num-
Der OF convictions reached 497, 300, or
27,5O0 more than last year. In the
categories Cf ordinary theft and rob
berry with violence the increase is very
marked, probably owing to the want
caused by general trade depression. A
remarkable increase is also observable
In offenses against officials and against
public orders. Probably the largest in
crease of all is found in crimes where
bodily injury is inflicted. This last
category has risen from $4,000 to 9S,.
900. The number of offenses against
morality steadily rises in accordance
With the experience Of former years.
This was notably the case With raps
and crimes committed against chill
dren. These have risen from 4,760 to
5.152 and from 2.794 to Ais respec-
lively. Juvenile offenders are on the
increase, proving that the demoralisa,
