 More than $23O.Ooo.0Oo worth of property in the United States was de- stroyed by fire last year, making the largest annual ash heap in the history of the country. While the Baltimore fire of last February was to be compar- ed in magnitude only with the great Chicago fiPo-in 1871, the record for 1904 without that confiagratian would have been the most disastrous of all recent years save 1900. and would have nearly equaled that year As fire underwrit- CTS usually include Canada in their es- inmates of fire waste, the total which the insurance companies will reach in estimating the first waste will be con- slderably larger, Toronto alone having been visited with confiagration en- tailing a property damage of $12,000,- 900.
 The total loss by fire in the United States and Canada last year reached about $245. .300,000, the month of De- cemher being estimated at nearly $15,- 000.00 In this great total the Balti- more fire figures to the extend of $69,- 000,000 in the value of property de- stroyed. the insurance loss in that con- iagration being not more than $33, ,000,- 900. however.
 How unprecedented this aggregate of fire waste Is appears from a compar- ison with the figures of the previous S16s 500. GOO; 1900, the worst of previous years, it was SITS, ,00O,OO
 The year 1904 started with a severe record of fes in January, that months losses aggregating some $22.O00, 900, in which was included a $1.500.000 fire at Shelby, O. This was the worst monthly showing since that of May, 1901, which had been swelled by the upward of $1O.500,0 900 damage done by the Jack sonVille confagration. Then came February, with the Baltimore fire, and later in the month the Rochester fire, with it's S2,200.000 of property damage, involving an insurance loss of fully Sl. 500, 900. March was the first com paratively normal month Of the year. In April Toronto sustained its confia- grafton loss of $12,000, 900.
 The total fire waste for the first six months was $171,500.00O. or less than $7, 900 900 below the full years record in 1900, when the fire losses had reach ed q high mark for recent years
 While the record of the second six months of the year was nearly S100,- ,000 less, 1t was considerably larger than the last half of a year generally yields, including, as 1t does, three of the summer months, with their greatly de- creased liability to fires in the large cities. The month of August produced total fire waste of but $9, 300, 900, 1t being the only month of the year when the losses were under $1O,OO0, ,0OO. In 1908 the months of March, August and September fell below the SiO,0O0,0OO mark.

Foreign Colonies in America.

T
 Immigration Commissioner Sargent Is right in his view of the public evils arising from the maintenance in this country of colonies of aliens who re- tain their allegiance to their native countries and send there the greater part of their arnings. Many of the Italian and Hungarian immigrants do not com here to stay longer than suf- ficient time to acauir money whichlthey intend to go back to Europe to spend. That was one great objection to the Chinece. It Is just as objectionable in the case of other immigrants. Thehe should be Legislation to discourage, as far as possible, that condition of things Immigrants who come here without any intention of remaining are not want ed

Brewton, Jan. 2.-(speclaI. )-F. L.. Hancock, who murdered Prof. Jesse Troutman at Canoe Station yesterday, came in this afternoon late and sur rendered to the Sheriff. He was car ried to the county jail and locked in a cell. Roland Weaver, his brother-in- law was arrested at Canoe yesterday as an accomplice and brought here to jail.
 No one can account for Hancock's s rash act. Troutman was a popular educator and his funeral at Pollard today was largely attended. A preiim- mary trial will be given the principal and alleged accomplices to the horri- ble crime at an early day. Had the indignant citizens been successful in laying hands on Hancock yesterday no trial would be necessary.

DESERTED THEIR CHILDREN.
lnhuman Parents Leave Little Ones
in Forest to Starve.

Kalispel, Mont.-A sad case of four
children, deserted by their parents in
the woods near here and the little
ones escape from a mountain lion,
has been brought to the attention of
State Humane officer Schoenfeld. The
children, the oldest of whom is 10
years and the youngest eight months,
were left by their parents in an empty
cabin in the mountains. They were
found by woman named Atkinson so
weak from want of food that they
could scarcely walk. They said a
huge mountain lion had been watching
the cabin for days and they were
afraid to venture out. Mrs. Atkinson
led the children to town and the five
were followed a mile by the beast.
The children are now in charge Of the
humane officer.

Denver.-The entertainment of

conclusion of day of royal welcome
as he journeyed through the state of
Colorado from Glenwood Springs. All
the towns along the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad over which the presi-

tons at the stations to greet him and
every evidence of hearty good will
was seen and heard. The browning
event came at night in the form of a
banquet rendered President Roosevelt
by the Denver Chamber of Commerce
at the Brown Palace hotel. This was
perhaps the most sumptuous affair
ever held in the state. The banquet
began at o'clock and continued until

trict court, denied motion on behalf
of the Union Traction company to en-
join the city from interfering with the
use of the so-called Adams street line
of the Old Chicago Passenger Rail-
way company. Judge Grosscup said
that he had withheld the decision for
a considerable time, believing 1t would
hinder rather than help negotiations
for an agreement between the city and
the traction interests, but that as soon
as he was officially informed negotia-
tons had been baked, he framed his
decision. The court holds that the

and some Of them may die.
The tornado formed three miles
south of Marquette and did not spend
its force until 1t had passed many
miles north of the town In Marquette
the residence portion west OF the main
street suffered particular damage. The
houses in the course OF the tornado
were with two or three exceptions,
completely wrecked In this section
there were a number of modern resi-.
dences of which only one was left
standing.

When the missing in Marquette had
been pretty thoroughly accounted for.

to the surrounding country. Soon half
a dozen wagonloads of dead and in.

south.
The sufferers tell of many narrow

baby daughter OF the Rev. Smith lay
was doubled up in such a manner as
to cover the child and protect II from
