Boarding House Destroyed with
Horrible Results.

Bodies, as They Are burneo BE-
You'd Reeosnltlon--5elieved to Have
Been Of Incsndlary origin.
Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 2O.-Ten
men were burned to death, two Sc
riously and perhaps fatally injured
and third slightly hurt, by jump
ing from the second story as the re-
suit OF a fire which destroyed the
boarding house of Mrs. E. E. Wat
ley, at 1871 Third avenue, between
2 and 3 o'clock Friday morning.
The dead:
w. n. Nichols, street car con-
ductor.
ID. B. Neal, street car conductor.
w. b. Taylor, street car motor
man.
G.. C.. Preston, conductor.
Edward Caldwell, motorman.

Gordon ID. Burns, mOtorman.
William r. Hall, conductor.
W. b. Livingston. rolling mill

mingham Paint and Glass company.
The injured;
c. E. Hentch, street car conduc-
tor.
G.. w. Troutman. motorman.
G. E. Keith, street railway en-
ploye.
There were 21 boarders in the
house. almost all of whom we're
street railway employees.
In addition there were three other
persons. Mrs. Watley and her two
sons. All have been accounted for.
All the dead and injured occupied
rooms on the second story OF the
house.
The flames enyeloped the entire
building when the FIRE was discover
ed, and Il was with the greatest diff
Hculty that the persons on the lower
ioor made their escape. They saved
nothing. and every piece Of iurni-
ture in the house was burned.
The FIRE Is thought TO have been OF
ineendlary origin. Burglars have
been detected on the premises twice
within the last two months. and Mrs.
Watley thinks the house was burg
larized Friday morning and then set
on Ere.
Thieves we're discovered az work

AGGRAVATED. CASE:
Of eczema
Troubled Badly for Several Years
With Eczema on Limbs and
Wrists Physicians Prescribe
Without Any Benefit Blotches
Now Al! Gone.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTICURA
Continued on Page 3.

"For several years 7 was troubled
badly with an eczema on my limbs and
wrists. Physicians in several towns
had prescribed for me without giving
me any results. I had often used
Cuticura Ointment and received relief
temporarily. In the spring of 1904 took
the Cuticura Resolvent Pills and used the
Cuticura Ointment for about five weeks,
and at the end of that time there was not
blotch on me anywhere. This spring I
took a fewvials of the Cuticura Resolvent
Pills as a precautionary measure, and
will continue to dos every spring simply
as spring tonic, as they are so easy
to carry with you, and they certainly
fix your blood for the ensuing yeag.
now use only Cuticura Soap.
"The Cuticura Ointment and Pills
certainly cured me Of an aggravated
case of eczema, and if it will help any
other sufferer you are at liberty to use
this letter. Respectfully, St. Clair Nc
Vicar, San Antonio, Texas, July 6, 1905"
