Five persons were burned, one fatally,

Columbia Hall shortly before 5 o'clock
A. NJ. Nearly the entire family OF
Nathan Frey perished in the flames.
Columbia Hall was occupied on the
ground floor by the piano factory OF

pository of d. r. Woods. The second
was an auditorium used for theatrical
purposes and the top floor was oc-
cupied by families. The building was
frame.
1t was shortly before 5 o'clock when
Louis Levine smelled smoke. He
found the complete lower floor in
flames and escaped by the stairway
cutoff. Levine seized his baby and
calling to his wife to follow him, fed
to the roof, where he made his escape
to the adjoining building. Mrs. Le-
vine was overcome by smoke and was
rescued in an unconscious condition.
Levine aroused the house by his cries
and the frightened tenants poured
into the smoke-hllcd Railways. Ma
than Frey, seized by fear, stumbled
back into his apartment and awoke
his wife, the three shildren and maid.
The open door of the apartment
created a draft and the flames caught
them.
Mrs. Frey made her escape, but
Mr.. Frey carrying two children in his
arms, and followed by the eldest child
and the maid, were caught and burned
in the doorway.
Mrs. A. +. Berry, while descending
ladder, which broke, fell and dis
located her hip.
The fire department in the mean
time had arrived, and with long lad
dcrs the tenants, who were huddled
on the roof, were carried TO the street

The origin OF the fire has not been
determined. The loss is estimated at
$4,000.
The tenants lost all their belong
ings.

BURTON is SENTENCED.
Six Months In Jail and Fine of Sl,500-Bi;l
Of Exceptions Filed.

St. Louis, Mo, (SpeciaD D.-Scnator
J. r. Burton, of Kansas, was SEN
fenced to six months Imprisonment
in Jail and fine Of $4,000 for using
his influence before the postofGce de-
partment in behalf OF the Rialto Grain
and Securities Company of St. Louis
for having received payment from the
company for his services.
When Senator Burton, accompanied
by his attorney, came into the United
States District Court Judge Adams
spoke OF the motions that had been
filed for arrest of judgment. The
court, after briefly reviewing the mo-
tions, overrucd them both. The
court then said to the defendant:
Have you anything to say as TO
why sentence should not be passed
upon you?"
Evidently suppressing his emotions
with strong effort, Senator Burton
stood leaning with both hands on a
chair back as he said:
Your honor will please allow me
TO respectfully decline to say any
thing"
The courtroom was almost empty,
with the exception OF few persons
who had remained out of curiosity,
and the silence was almost oppressive
as Judge Adams in low tone began
delivery OF the sentence.

About forty-two years ago a fighting
ship named Virginia showed in few
hours that the navcs of the world
would have to be rebuilt Almost in
sight of Newport News the Confcder-
ate ram Virginia and the first monitor
tried conclusions in battle which
revolutionized all theories of naval
construction, and sounded the death
kncll OF the wooden ship as war
vessel. Tuesday a new battle ship, ad-
mittedly representing the highest type
OF naval achievement, was launched
from the yards of the Newport News
Shipbuilding Company, bearing the
name Virginia, representing a people
and State that have always stood
for the highest type of chivalry, cour-
age, and endurance and an Unsuitable
appetite for carrying their conviction
by superior skill in open, honorable
contest. The new Virginia is not
expected to revolutionize naval con-
struction, but the expert constructors
and the most experienced officers of
the navy arc confident that her thun-
dering batteries and stanch and un-
yielding armor will prove more than
a match for any fighting ship anoat
and enable her to do her full share
in placing the United States at the
lead of the naval powers of the world,

London, (By Cable With the Ja-
panese fleet again cruising in the vi
cinity OF Port Arthur and portion OF
the Japanese forces on the fighting
line having crossed the Yalu River
and occupied strong positions at sew
eral important points, news OF both
naval and military operations is mo-
mentarily expected.
Adviccs from Seoul, Korea, state
that the Russians are occupying sin
OF the largest border towns on the
Tumen River, in northeastern Korea
A Korean project has sent in a re-
port that the Russians and Chinese
who were at Yongampoo, Korea, have
withdrawn to Antung, across the Yalu
River. Only few merchants remain
at the former place. The Japanese
authorities at Toxic have no confirm
alton Of a reported engagement be.
tween Russians and Japanese at Xvi.
sung. They have, however, received
advices from Seoul that the Japanese
supply steamers are safely entering
the estuary of the Yalu River and arc
landing their cargoes at various point:
on the Korean shore. 1t is presumed
here that the movement of these sup
ply steamers is covered by japanese
gunboats. If this is true, the Russian
forts erected upon the Chinese side
of the Yalu River are evidently moi
effective.
According to reliable Korean re-
ports the American mines at Unsar
and the English mines at Gwendoler
are safely guarded by detachments OF
Japanese troops.
Refugees who have arrived at
Shanghai from Korea assert that the
fear that the Japanese may land at
Possiet Bay Gin Manchuria, about 6s
miles southwest OF Vladivostok) is
causing a general exodus inland. Even
the Russian garrison in that locality
are retreating, leaving only small out
posts behind them.
