are defendants in a suit filed in the

The value of the property involved is

issued by the government in exchange
for lands in the Sierra forest reserve.
One of the defendants named in the

the transaction and that the charges
are based on an ENHANCEMENT over the

OVERCOME BY SMOKE.
Four Men Suffocated in Fires in Phil
adefpkia,

aoetpnia.
Philadelphia, Dec. 27-Four mer
were suffocated and eight other per-
sons were rescued from fires in differ
ent parts OF the city early in the day.
At a clearinghouse in Wood street,
Charles McCusker, aged forty-four
years; James Merr, forty-eight years,
and Joseph McGill, ffty-four years,
died Ill a trap made by themselves.
Against the wishes and knowledge of
their clearinghouse keeper the three
men took a quantity of whiskey up to
their room. They placed one of the
two beds in the apartment against the
door to prevent interference by the
clearinghouse keeper. After the men
had retired a lighted candle fell from
a mantle on the greasy wooden clothes
of one of the boarders. The clothing
was ignited and the room was soon
filled with thick smoke. McGill was
awakened by the smoke, but was I'M
able to move the bed from the door
and fell to the floor unconscious. The
clearinghouse keeper discovered the
smoke and when the room was brok-
en- into McCusker, McGill and Merr
were found dead.
At 1856 Fairmont avenue Edward
RathliDe. aged twenty-five years, was
also sufocatcd. 1t is believed that
he set the bed clothes on fire With a
lighted cigar and in trying to leave
the room crawled into a closet by
mistake, where he was found dead.

ICE BOATS IN COLLISION.
Three Persons Killed and Three Others
Seriously Injured.

Three Persons Killed and Three Others
Seriously Injured.
Syracuse, N. Y, Dec. 27.-Three men
were killed and three more seriously
hurt in a crash OF two ice boats speed
ing before a gale of wind at the rate
of fifty miles an hour on OnonGaga
lake. The dead are James Clarkson,
Charles Markham and George Todd, all
of this city.
The accident occurred after the first
of the seasons regattas of the Onon-
daga Lake Ice Yacht club, which at
tracted fully $500 persons to the lake.
Over its glary surface a fierce gale
drove the feet of ice yachts at ex-
press train speed. Toward the close
of the afternoon the Warner brothers,
with Frank Warner at the tiller, bore
up the lake with the wind abaft, the
Blitz, with Caleb Joss steering, ap-
preaching in the opposite direction.
Each craft carried five persons. AS
the yachts neared each other it was
seen that collision would result
should each hold to it's course. Then
came the blunder. Each skipper veer-
ed in the same direction and again in
the opposite direction. The crash
came in an instant, the yachts plow-
ing into each other head-on with such
force that second later they laid upon
the ice in tangle of splinters, broken
cordage and insensible bodies.
