DEAD CHILD IN HER ARMS.
Mother Carries the Body in a Train
and Keeps Secret.

La Crosse.-The finding of the dead
body of a child in the Burlington
depot caused great excitement and for
a time it was believed that a murder
had been committed and detectives
secured the city in search of clews.
The child was two years of age and
when discovered was lying on a seat
in the waiting room. 1t had apparent
ly been dead for hours. No one had
seen the body placed there and the Of
ficers were wholly at sea. The mystery
was solved by the arrival of the child's
mother who came to the depot with a
pitiable tale of misfortune. The wom-
an had started from a farm near
Chaseburg to visit her parents at
West Salem. On reaching the La
Crosse & Southeastern railway station
at Chaseburg she found that the infant
had died in her arms while mother
and child were riding in lumber
wagon. The woman wrapped up the
dead body, bought ticket and came
to La Crosse on her way home.

BIG FIRE IN new ORLEANS
LOSS is BETWEEN ONE AND TWO
MILLION DOLLARS.
Firemen at Annual Picnic and Water
Supply Short-Large Whole
sale Houses Burned.

New Orleans, Aug. 31.-Fire which
broke out in the center of the CONNER
cial district Sunday afternoon swept
over portions of three blocks, Destroy
Ing a large number of wholesale
houses, manufacturing plants and
small stores. Originating at Bienville
and Charities streets, The names
worked their way north as far as
Cont street, and west towards Royal,
bringing about loss of between one
and two million dollars before they
were finally subdued.
Several circumstances combined to
give the fire Roadway which proved
hard to overcome. At the time the
alarm was turned in, shortly before
three o'clock. the New Orleans fire
men were in the midst of their annual
picnic at a suburban park, and the
engines and patrols responded with
mere handful of men. 1t was fully an
hour before the department was in
position to make anything like a sue
cessful fight against the fire, and then
the handicap against it was added to
by an inadequate supply OF water.
The fire was one of the most spec
tacular that has occurred in New Or
leans during recent years. Two ware
houses, filled with wines and liquors,
were among the buildings destroyed
by the fire. AS they burned the bar
rels of whisky and brandy exploded
with thunderous roars, which could be
heard for blocks and which shook the
walls of adjoining buildings and en-
dangered the lives of firemen engaged
in fighting the flames.
1t was not until several hours had
elapsed that the fire was got under
control, and even then it continued to
burn well into the night. Among the
establishments burned were: Central
Glass company, George d. Scott, light
ing and electrical Instruments; Held
enheim, Levy & Weiss, shirt manufac-
turers; Hoohn & Dieth, wholesale mil
linery; Kost Commission company,
Paul Gelpi & Sons, wholesale liquor
dealers; New Orleans Junk company,

mystery and as result of which Matt
Kramer, living near Foxboro, was
charged with the murder, came to his
death by bullet wound is now

in the road after the discharge of a
cartridge which he was removing from
his rifle. Then he told that he saw
Young quarreling with two men and

pearance was reported. The men
lived out in the woods away from any
one and it was weeks before Young's
