BALTIMORE
SUFFERS
A S20o,OOo,0O Fire on
Morning of Feb. 7.
NO LIVES ARE LOST
So Far as Known--Origin of the
COnflagration a Mystery--
Rebuilding in Progress.
NO LIVES ARE LOST

Baltimore, Feb. 9.-Several of the
most valuable business blocks of this
city were totally destroyed by fire
Sunday morning, and the total loss will
reach the astounding sum of 5000, 00O,-
900.
The fire started at o'clock a. M, in
the immense wholesale dry goods store
OF John p Hurst & Co.. but thus far it
has been impossible to ascertain it's
origin. A high wind prevailed at the
time and quickly the flames spread in
all directions The local firemen were
unable to check their progress aid for
a time it looked as though the greater
part of the city was doomed. Asss-
lance was necessary and New York,
Philadelphia, Washington, Trenton,
Camden and other cities quickly dis
patched special trains bearing dremen
and apparatus to the suffering city.
Not until this morning were the fla mes
finally subdued and many firemen drop
ped insensble at their posts from
physical exhaustion.
Merchants moved their wares into
the streets only to have them burned
later. The loss is terrible and yet not
withstanding the awful conflagration
there has not been single life lost so
far as known. Thisis undoubtedly due
to the fact that the fire started in the
wholesale district and on Sunday
morning when all business was snspen-
ded. All telegraph and telephone lines
within the city were ruined. The fire
will pass into history as worst ever
occurring in the United States.
Baltimore, Feb. 11.-Three thousand
laborers with hundreds Of carts and
trucks have been set to work clearing
up the debris. Contracts have already
been let to large firms in this city and
Philadelphia and New York for the re-
building OF most OF the burned district.

Weddings In Korea.

AT Korean marriage every one rides
ON horseback and in single file First
comes manservant who carries in
both hands an imitation life sized wild
goose, covered by red scarf. Then
come the bridegroom, his friends and
all the servants he possesses or is able
to borrow. At the brides house the
servant first deposits the goose on a
bowl of rice; then all dismount, and,
leaving outside their outer robes, their
hats and their boots, they enter the
house and make as much noise as they
possibly can. The pandemonium does
not cease till the guests are paid to go
away A feast follows and then the
bridegroom is taken to his bride, whom
he sees for the first time.
