NOT yC:i.: PAUL JONES' REMAINS

man Buried in May, 1890.


Paris, Feb. :7.-A preliminary search
which Ambassador Porter Is making
for the body OF John Paul Jones, the
naval hero of the Revolutionary War.
recently disclosed a lead coffin. The
name plate on the cofnn was very
much corroded, but the inscription has
finally been deciphered, showing that
it was the coffin OF an Englishman
buried May >. 1890, two years before
the death OF Jones. Consequently the
coffin will not be opened. The exam
ination continues.
The finding OF this lead coffin has
the advantage OF establishing that
those buried in the Protestant GENE

in the vicinity OF the present excaTa-

FORTY CITY BLOCKS BURNED
ConfIagraticn at Hot Springs, Ark
Caused Loss Of $500, 900.


Caused Loss Of $1,5oo,oo0.
Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 27.-The
first estimates of the damage done by
the great conflagration were not exag-
gerated. More than 40 city blocks
have been eaten away by the flames.
and the most conservative estimate
places the loss at $1,50O,000, while sew
eral insurance men say the figures will
reach $2,O0O,OCO.
The three unknown bodies recovered
are the only known fatalities.
The citizens relief committee has
the situation well in hand. The amount
subscribed for relief work totals $12,-
OO0 and the sum is being steadily In
creased
The relief committee has systema-
tiZed it's work to such an extent that
no deserving person rendered desti-
tute by the conflagration has suffered
for the ordinary comforts OF life.
Nearly every residence in the city has
been thrown open to such persons, and
the management of the Oaklawn race
track has rendered the use of its grand
stand and cottages.
The fire started in the Grand Cen
trail Hotel, and it's origin is a mystery.

before the fire department could reach
