BILE thing occurred at Spring Hill
about two o'clock yesterday afternoon
when the home Of Joe Knuckles, sec.

According to a report of the at.

wreck that needed his attention.
Having occasion to go for water,
which she could get only by going

went out, locked the door. The baby
aged one year, was asleep in bed.
The mother could not have been
absent very long. but before she got
back, smoke was observed creeping
through the crevices of the house.
The door was broken open, when a
sheet Of flame five feet in length
at least, burst out. Not a living

LONDON STOCK MARKET.
Depression of New York Stocks
 Causes Very Bad Condition.

London. August 10-Business on the stock exchange closed quleter today after q week of anxiety and excitement, due to a comblnat ton of disturbing influences, chiefly the severe depression in New York, the continued rapid decline of consols, to- gether with adverse reports from India and Morocco and rumors of financial trou- be in Berlin. The markets opened more cheerful after the holiday, operators be- lieving that the worst of the depression was over but this feeling was soon dis pelled by the demoralizatlon exhibited in Wall street.
 The depression extended to all the mar kets. values being almost universally marked down, consols reaching S1. Amer
 jeans were the chief sufferers from the prevailing weakness. The movements, however, were mainly dominated by New York and displayed great regularity throughout the week. but prices closed above the worst quotations. Union Pa cific, Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and Illinois Central were chiefly affected. The closing was weak.
 The firmness of discounts continued to be the feature of the money market, their advance rapid. the principal cause of which was the eagerness of New York to discount bills here and the willingness to pay outside rates was believed to point to the possibility of early gold shipments to America which London is ill able to spare owing to the lowness of the gold reserve of the Bank of England. This, coupled with the fact of the continued foreign competition for the gold in the open market, created a belief that there will be an early advance in the Bank of Englands s discount rate.
