EAST ST. LOUIS Big BLAZE
An Ugly Hole Burned in the Bush
ness Heart of the City.
The Fire Said to Have Been Dne to
an Overheated Furnace-The
Firemen Suffered.

st. Louis, Feb. 4.-The fire which
for awhile threatened wholesale de-
struction completely destroyed three
handsome business buildings at the
corner of st. Louis and Collinsville
avenue, East st. Louis, ILL.,, yesterday
morning.
The buildings were in the heart OF
the business section of the city.
The loss is approximately $17S,6o0.
The insurance on the burned property
amounts to $125,0O0.
The principal policies carried were:
On the Josephine building, $4,000;
Walsh building, $4,000; DeWolf build
ing, $4,000; Ellks' Club, $4,000; Palace
Clothing Co., $4,000; Stickler Grocery
Co., $500; Sondag Drug Co., $4,000;
st. Clair Packing Co., $1,000.
Friday afternoon another alarm was
turned in from the burned district, and
every fire engine company in East ST.
Louis was called out. The Walsh
building debris had begun to burn
fiercely again, but after few minutes
play from hose lines the new blaze
subsidized.
The origin of the fire was evidently
an overheated furnace in the basement
of the Josephine building, where the
loss is the heaviest. The other build
H.
ing and the DeWolf building.
All the buildings were occupied, on
their lower floors by business firms.
The Elks lodge was on the top floor of
the Walsh building The other floors
of the buildings were occupied as office
rooms. Several persons sleeping on
these floors were rescued, all without
injury to rescued or rescuers.
The firemen worked under difficult
ties, as blizzard conditions were pre-
vailing. The temperature was at zero,
| a 50-mle wind was blowing from the
north and snow was falling. Assist
ance was called for, and one st. Louis
fire company responded.
Several of the firemen suffered Sc
we're frost bites while at work.
Mayor Cook. who remained at the
| fire while it lasted. suffered similarly.
Mayor Cook thanked the East St.
Louis firemen for their brave efforts,
and also by kilograms conveyed to
| Chief Swingley of the st. Louis fire
department his thanks and the thanks
of the people Of East st. Louis for the
assistance rendered by st. Louis.

TRADE HAMPERED BY COLD
The Widespread Cold Weather Has
the Effect of Retarding Dis
tributiOn of Spring Stocks.

New York, Feb. 4.-Bradstreet's
says:
Widespread cold weather hampers
trade in nearly all lines, thus retard-
ing but not entirely checking the open.
ing of spring distribution. Except in
portation and mining industry dis
plays rather less than seasonable in
reference. Except in a few lines, es-
pecially cotton manufacturing, advance
business has been placed with free
hand and the feeling is not the less
strong that milder weather will usher
in widespread activity in all lines.

PETER THE GREAT.
History shows That the Old Ruler
of Russia Was Monster.

Years ago, when low standard of
morals prevailed, the epithet Great
was bestowed upon any monarch who
Won battles and enlarged the territory
and resources of his kingdom. ltmatter-
cd little then TO the historian what might
be kings private character. provided
he made his nation formidable by Its
brute strength and full treasury. Even
IL he was n bad man they eulogiZed
him us Il good ruler Peter |. of Rus
STA is called Peter the Great be
cause he transformed harharous into
Il semiharharouS nation. But no one
can now read the following summary
disgust. NoltaIre, In his "phllosoph
ical Dictionary" says that Potter was
half hero and half tiger" Macaulay
declares that TO the end of his life he
lived In his palace like II hog in II sty,
and when he was entertained by other
| sovereigns never failed To leave un
equlvoeal proof that n savage had been
there"
Peter, when the fit was on him, lit
orally caned everybody from his cook
TO his counselor from the meancst
peasant to the highest noble Sparlng
neither age nor sex. He would get VI
from the table and flog the host who
was entertaining him. He would stand
at the door of the senate house and
fog each senator that went In. Lcfort
was I'M Intimate and trusted friend
yet ON slight proNocation he was
knocked down and brutally kicked by
his Imperial master. But all this fog
ging was In the way of recreation
When Peter "meant business" 1t was
more serious matter. Incredible ms
1t may seem, II Is nevertheless wei
authenticated that one of his own sis
tcrs IL Is said more than ouc-rcceiyed
100 strokes Of the whip ON her bnck In
the presence of the whole court.
In lib Alexis, his only son who out
lived infancy, was for some oIfense OF
no great seriousness several times tor
tured In the presence of the dlabolleal
father and in the end died either from
the effect of the torture or by assassl
mutton. For sympathIzing with Alexis
the Princess Golltsyn. the bosom com
panlon of the Empress Catherine, was
publicly whipped by soldiers. For the
same reason the brother of his first
wife, EudoNIn whom he had thrown
into prison was tortured and then
torn In pieces ON the wheel. Nothing
eyer told Of Nero Is more horribly gro
tesque than this. yet this man. or mon
stcr rather. is paraded before the world
as Peter the Great.

A MEDlAEVAL NAVY.
Ths Queer Implements of Attack and
Defense That Were Used.

Defense That Were Used.
Very strange to modern eyes would
be the armament of Great Britain's
medieval navy. The very names of
many of the implements of attack and
defense sound queer. According to the
books, In the year 1887 the vessels of
the navy We're furnished with "es-
pringalds." ancient spring guns; "hau-
bergeons." coats of mail; ''baeinets,"
small helmets; bows. arrows, doublets,
targets; "pavises," large shields placed
Mt the sides and serving the double
purpose of protection against the sea
and against the enemy; lances and
firing barrels" As early rs 1888
cannon formed part of the armament
of ships, aud about 1872 guns and gun
powder We're commonly used. Among
the stores belonging TO one vessel of
that time were three iron cannon with
iiye chambers, Il hand gun and three
old stone bags, probably for shot. An
other ship had an iron cannon With two
chambers and one brass cannon with
one chamber.
Among other implements of war
used ut that time were cannon
puylors" or stone shot throwers and
"murtherers," which We're smaller and
threw any kind of shot. There We're
also .basillsks." port pieces" stock
fowlers," "sukcrs" and "bombards"
The bombards We're of hammered iron,
made of bars welded and bound to-
gether with iron bands. They threw
stone shot weighing between 140
pounds and 1913 pounds. A battery of
these erect", on II slip of land at the
naval battle of Chioggla Q3So) between
the Nenetlans and the Genoese did
great damage. They We're loaded over
night and were fired In the morning.
Frolssart tells of II lombard used Mt
one of these ancient sIeges that might
be heard five leagues Off In the day
time and ten ut night. The report of
II was SO loud that 1t seemed as If all
the devils In hell had broken loose"
Brass ordnance was first east in Eng
land In the year 1875. The pieces had
various names. Many of different
caliber We're mounted on the same
deck. which must have caused great
confusion In action in finding for each
Its proper shot.
