Military Academy at Gambler, Ohio, is
Destroyed by Fire-Three Dead.
Gambler Ohio, Feb. 27.-Three boys
are dead, nine seriously injured and
several others more or less hurt as a
result of fire which destroyed Mil
ner hall, Delano and North halls and
North annex, Kenyon military acad-
envy, early Saturday. The fire broke
out at a. NJ and quickly spread
through the building.
The charred remains of the three
victims We're found in the debris Sun
day after long search. The dead and
injured are all students of the mill
tary academy and Kenyon college.
The property loss by the destruc-
ton of the buildings is estimated at
100000, with SO per cent insurance
There is no satisfactory explanation
as to what caused the fire. Some are
of the opinion that oily rags may have
caused spontaneous combustion. The
floors of the building were oiled, and
this, in part, at least, accounts fol-
the rapidity with which the buildings
burned.

BRUTAL WORKOF RUSS OFFICERS
GIRL is SUBJECTED TO FRIGHT.
Full eRuTAL,TlEs AND IN
IDENTITIES.

St Petersburg, Feb 81. - Great
wrath has been aroused in Liberal
circles by the publication of IA letter
from Mile Shiridonovo, the seventeen
year-old girl who shot NJ. LuZhenOf-
sky, chief of the secret police at Tam
bot, in which she describes the indig-
mites and brutalities to which she
was subjected. On account of her
youth and her self-sacrifce in eXecut-
ing the sentence against M. LuZhenof-
sky, who was detested on account of
his cruelty in suppressing the peasant
disorders, she has been made one of
the heroineS of the revolution and is
called second Charlotte Corday.
Kicked and Beaten.
The letter says that after the shoot
ing of Luzhenofsky, whose body guard
of Cossacks did not save him from
five well-aimed bullets, Mile Shirido-
novo was knocked down and beaten
with the whips of the Cossacks and
rifle butts. She was then dragged by
her hair down stairs to a sleigh by the
enraged Cossacks, taken to the police
station, undressed and thrust into a
damp, cold cell, where she was sub
jected to eleven hours of torment in
ordeer to force her to reveal the
names of her accomplices. The girl
says that two officers took brutal
pleasure in kicking her back and forth
across her cell, tearing her hair.
burning her flesh with their cigarettes
and threatening her with abandon
ment to the Cossacks unless she con-
fessed.
Mile Shiridonovo is now in hospi-
tai in a serious condition. Her skull
is fractured in two places, one eye is
injured and her body is a mass of
bruises from head to foot.
The newspapers demand the instant
trial and punishment of the two Of
ficers, whose names are given; but
the vengeance of the revolutionists
will probably anticipate official action
