ampton county Jail and the woman,
who was released yesterday, was re-
arrested after the funeral of the little
girl this afternoon. Smith today had
recovered his cOmpOsure and denounc-
ed Bachman, his brother-in-law, in
harsh terms. He swore at him from
his cell door and declared he was a
fool and not an agent of God. He de-

tody. Scores of men are ready to sign
her bail bond, but the district attor-
ney declares she will have to remain

LOSS REACHES $4,000.
Fire Burns Annex Of Big Provision
Market At Lynn, Mass.

Lynn, Mass, April 3O.-The provision
market of the ]. B. Blood Co, one of
the largest concerns of its kind in New
England, outside of Boston, was dam
aged by fire tonight to the extent of
1000. The market occupied three
story building of brick and wood at
the corner of Summer and Pleasant
streets, the front part of the building
being of brick, while in the rear there
was a three story structure of wood,
running back to Wheeler street. The
fire started in the shipping room, which
was in the third story of the wooden
annex of the main building and spread
rapidly through the structure. The ac-
ton of Capt. William Welsh of the
fire department in promptly closing an
iron door which connected the annex
with the main building prevented the
burning of the latter structure.
The wooden annex was Quilted, but
the brick portion was damaged only
by water In the high wind which
prevailed. sparks from the burning
building were carried to the roofs of
tenement houses in the vicinity and at
one time about dozen of these build
lngS were on flre. Inc Hrenen, now
ever. succeeded in extinguishing these
incipient fires and confined the blaze to
the market structure. Occupants of
the tenement houses in some instances
rushed to the street. carrying with
thcm such belongings as they could
collect hastily and panic conditions
prevailed until it was seen that the
fire was under control. The Blood
Cos. property was insured for $15O,OO0
and it is estimated that the loss on
the stock and building will reach half
that amount.
