It is possible that the ruins may con-
tain the bodies of other victims. The
property loss is estimated at $4,000.

Fire broke out about HOS. The
building was four stories high, without
fire escapes. 1t was occupied by about
sixty students, who were asleep when
the alarm was given.
The widest panic ensued, the Wo-
men and girls rushing. screaming, to
the windows, from which they jumped
in droves The dead and injured lying
in heaps where they fell, to be fallen
upon by those following them.
When the flames were first discover
ed they seemed to entirely envelop the
building, and it is considered almost
certain that some of the terrorized oc-
cupants were overcome by the smoke
before reaching the windows.

cRIRB EXPlATES CRIME.
Coffee County, Georgia, Murderer,
Hanued in DOUGLAS Jail.

Hanged in Douglas Jail.
In the jail at Douglas, Ca, Friday,
at 1:4O O'Clock Lee Cribb was hanged.
His neck was broken and death was
instantaneous.
The crime for which he suffered
was unprovoked and without shadow
of excuse. Becoming offended because
his wife left him, he declared his pur'
pose of leaving Nichols, but that he
intended leaving a record that would
cause him to be remembered.
In furtherance of this purpose he
loaded himself with whisky and his
pistol with missiles. The first place
reached was Teston's store. Here he
commenced shooting at Teston and
at Courson, his father in law. They
managed to escape unhurt.
The marshal, attracted by the firing
was not so fortunate.
After killing the marshal Cribb next
opened fire upon little boy, Emmet
White, driving in on load OF wood.
The boy fell from the wagon at the
first fire, and though he DSeSed Cribb
not to shoot again, his petition fell
upon deaf ears.
After killing White, Crib proceed
ed along the street with every one get
ting out of his way, until he met a
man with a Winchester rifle, with a
full magazine.
Forcing the man to give him the
gun, he went to the depot, opened fire
upon the engineer and fireman of a
train, wounding the latter and COM
pelling the former to pull out. AS he
turned from the car he came face to
face with Mr.. Hart and attempted 70
shoot him. Before he could do so
he himself was shot and fell. The
wound, however, was slight, the gun
being loaded with small shot.
AS soon as he fell he was seized
and hurried to Douglas and placed in
jail to prevent being lynched.
He was tried last spring, convicted
and sentenced to hang in May, but by
the efforts of his counsel his head has
been kept out of the moose until now.

Geneva, who celebrated their golden
wedding few days ago. was a gold
saber sent by Colonel James Arm
strong, of Charleston, S. c., an ex-con-
teoerate officer, now editor of The
News and Courier. The two men
fught on opposite sides during the
civil war and their regiments were pit
ted against each other, but after the
war a friendship sprung up between
them which has continued for many
years. In the letter accompanying
the gift Colonel Armstrong said:
'T send you a sold saber, sugges-
tive Of your gallant services as a fed
eral officer, of the golden opinions you
have won from commanders and COM
rades and form former foes-noW your

No sign OF I ace had entered into
the livery drivers strike at Chicago
Monday when the fourth day Of tho
tie-up of haarsas and carriages came
with a renewal Of the desolate funer-
ais and the prospect that police may
be put on the plain wagons now
used for carrying the dead.
Ambulances have come under the
ban of the striking pickets, according
to reports from undertakers and iiv-
cry men, who declare tnat police Will
be necessary to man the conVeyancss
OF the sick as well as those OF the
dead.
A funeral party Of over a dozen
people from the northwest arrived IN
Chicago Monday morning, and after
tho body Of the dacedent had been Ia
ken from the union depot in a. dead
wagon, pickets stopped a bus in which
the mourners were being transferred
to the Dearborn station. 1t was ex-
planned to the pickets that tho BODY
was being taken south AM Tie tram
connections had to be made, but they
refused to allow the bus to proceed
until a union business agent arrived
He heard the details and then declared
that the mourners should proceed in
the bus without interference.

body of his wife carried on the shoul-
ders of six pallbearers from his home
to st. Patrick's church, ard from the
latter place to railroad station, but
owing to the slippery condition OF the
sidewalks, he abandoned the idea.
The body was removed in dead"
wagon. Over 100 mourrars, including
children and babies carried in arms,
formed in procession and followed
the undertaker's wagon in the street.
J. r. .Wadsworth, secretary, and
Charles Stevens, business agent Of The
Liverymen's Union, were summoned
before Chief O'Neill Monday night and
told in decidedly plain language that.
any differences the union might haze

"This pickoting Of the homes from
which funerals are being held is be
yond the toleration Of a civilized COM
munity," said Chief O'Neil. your
zeal has carried you beyond the pale
of endurance and sucn an unheard OF
thing as carrying labor troubles to the

EIGHT SNUFFED OUT
In Addition to Those Killed, Thirty
two People Were Injured, Some
OF Whom Will Die-An Open
Switch the Cause.

The Meteor, the fast train on the
st. Louis and San Francisco railroad,
which left Fort Worth, Texas, Sunday
afternoon for Kansas City, was WRECK
ed at Godfrey. Is miles south OF Fort
Scctt, Kansas, Monday morning.
The train ran into a switch and all
except the sleeper was derailed and
turned over.
Eight persons were killed and owe"
thirty injured.
When the train reached Godfrey It
was behind and running at full speeu
to make up time. The crew OF treignt
train that had preceded the Meteor
left the switch open, and the passenger
train jumped the track and rolled down
a slight embankment.
All save the sleeper turned over and
and so fast was the train running
that the engine and forward baggage
car went nearly so feet off the roadDed
before it stopped. The sleeper re-
NAMED upright and none OF the passen-
gers in this car were injured.
The baggage car was completely
wrecked and the smoker was badly
damaged.
Five of those killed were in the for
ward end CT the smoker and four CT
them we're killed instantly. A news
agert, who was badly mangled, died
on the relief train that carried the
dead to Fort Scott. Engineer B. A..
Devices, of Fort Scott; Conductor
Roy, of Topeka, and Fireman Bishard,
of Fort Scott, were all instantly Kill
ed, and Express Messenger" John Bel,
of Kansas City, was seriously injured.
Others of the crew and almost every
passenger on the entire train, excep.
those in the sleeper. who ESCAPED
with a severe shake.up, were lnJurel'
some of them seriously.
Il was still dark when the wreck
occurred, and the utmost confusion
followed. It was some time before
those Of the crew who had escaped
we're able, with the passengers VINO
were unhurt, to aid the injured. A
wrecking crew carrying several phy-
sicians did not leave Fort Scott for
the scene until several hours after
the wreck occurred, and it was eleven
o'clock before the dead and injured
were removed to Fort Scott
The following were killed: George
Hoyt, conductor; R. A. Devices, en-
gineer; Theodore Bishard, fireman;
James H. Twyman, Asa Moreland, Lon
Carbin, Joe Carbin, John Brubaker:
one unidentified man, whose body was
thrown sixty feet into cornfeld.
Fatally injured: Sheridan Kanable,
! B F. Garroway.
Thirty-one others were more or less
seriously hurt. Most Of the injured
were badly burned, as well as being
MANNED.
The responsibility Of the wreck is
! laid at the door of brakeman OF
the freight crew who failed to flag
the passenger train. He has disap
peared.
In the crash, the baggage car tele
scoped the engine and landed IN a
cornfeld, while the smo-,er and two
chair cars were piled in a mass on
top Of the engine.
