THREE LOSE LIVES
IN HOTEL FIRE
All of Those Who Are Dead
Were Women.
SCORES OF PEOPLE INJURED,
Richardson Hotel at Lowell, Mass, ls
Badly Damaged by Fire, Which Is
Supposed to Have Started in the
Kitchen from overheated soye.

Lowell, Mass, Jan. 27.-Three lives
were lost early Saturday morning in
fire which badly damaged the Rich
ardson hotel, one of the best known
hostelries in the city.
1t is believed that when the ruins
Of the hotel have been searched 1t
will be found that the list Of fatalities
will be increased.
Several injured persons were taken
10 the hospital while nearly a score
of others were treated by physicians
and then lodged in other hotels and
residences in the neighborhood.
All of the dead were women. Two
of them have not been identified, while
the third was a woman who was EN-.
5ployed Friday as a pastry cook at the
hotel. Her name Vas unknown to the
hotel people, but she came from Bos.
ton, Mass.
Most of those who were injured
were either burned, cut by falling
glass or received injuries from the
windows of the upper stories of the
burning building. Among those who
were injured are:
A. S, Anthony, New Bedford cut by
falling glass and injured by dropping
from an upper story to life net.
E. H. Dickey, Portland, Me-, numer-
Gus cuts and bruises caused by jump
ing from window on the fourth floor.
John F. Hach, New York, badly
burned.
The tire is believed to have started
III the kitchen from an overheated
stove. 1t is thought that it had been
burning for nearly an hour before it
was discovered. During the evening
there had been meeting of business
men at the hotel and after the meet
ing adjourned, many of those who at
tended remained at the hotel to play
cards in room on the second floor.
About 2 o'clock there was a smell of
| smoke, and when the door of the room
was opened there was a strong rush
OF heat and smoke into the room. It
Is due to the presence of mind Of those
IN the room that the list of casualties
was not greater While one OF the
nup1ber went outside to give the alarm
the others ran through the corridors
kicking at the doors and arousing
the occupants.
All the guests on the first and sec
ond floors were aroused, but when an
attempt was made to reach the third
story the men were driven back by
the smoke and flames. All the per.
sons on the first and second floor
escaped without injury
When the firemen arrived many per
sons on the third and fourth floors
were hanging from the window lodges,
but all of those who were visible In
peril were rescued.
Most of the people on the third and
fourth floors who were not rescued
by lremen, managed to escape by the
rope fire escape.
All left the hotel in their night
clothing, and they did not have an ap-
portunity to save their personal ef-
fects
The loss on the hotel is estimated at
100000.

Athens, Ca, Jan. 27.-Wash Chris
tian, of this city, and Walter Harde-
man, of Madison county, engaged in a
shooting scrape, in which both were
shot and also two daughters of Chris
tian received several loads of shot in
their bodies.
From the story of the trouble as
given by Christian, who is a horse and
mule trader in this city, it appears that
he had some two years since been di-
vorced from his wife, taking with him
his two oldest daughters and leaving
his wife in control of the two young
er children.
A few weeks since he let the two
girls, aged II and 13, respectively, go
to their grandmother's, in Madison
county, and went to get them, and
found them at Walter Hardeman's,
just over the line of Clarke county.
Hardeman had married the divorced
wife of Christian short while since
Hardeman is alleged to have said
that he would kill them before they
should return to their fathers home
in this city, and when they started to
get into the surrey with their father,
Hardeman is said to have made good
his attempt upon their lives.
They started to get into the buggy,
and just as they did so they cried out
to their father to drive away quick
ly, as Hardeman was fixing to shoot
them Just then he discharged his
shotgun, and the load Of shot tore
through the side Of the carriage, and
struck one Of the girls in the side
He shot again, and the other girl
threw up her hand to protect her face,
and caught the full load in her hand
The gun was loaded with bird shot
and Hardeman was at some distance.
ASuCS the WOuIuS were not 1dJdl. 1dQ
he been closer when he shot, the girls
would no doubt have been badly in
jured.
After Hardeman had shot the two
girls, Christian says he emptied his
pistol at him, and was also shot at
Christian received a number of shot in
his right arm, and is satisfied that he
hit Hardeman when he shot at him,
as he staggered back into the room. Ii
is reported that Hardeman was hit in
the arm and shoulder.
Proper attention is being given the
two girls, and they will recover. The
shooting occurred in Madison county
Just over the Clarke county line.
