Fort Worth Tex, April 5.-TO boys
and a carelessly thrown cigarette stub
is generally credited the fire which de-
stroyed property in South Fort Worth
valued at $2,000,000, caused the death
of J. j. Newton, a bank employee; the
serious injury of six persons, rendered
over 1000 homeless and caused the
temporary idleness of several hun
dred wOrllmen employed in the manu-

burned.
The burned area is under the guard
of state troops to prevent lOOting, and
the entire fire department is still en-
gagged in eXtinguishing the burning
embers, which, with the wind still
high, systematically spring into flames.
The fire originated in a barn near
May and Tucker streets. Driven by a
gale, the flames spread through build
ings made dry by prOtracted drought
and within a few moments the con-
fagratiOn was beyond control. Spec

BABY DIES AS
PRIEST CHRISTEKS IT
Father Rushed Through Street
Carrying Body to Doctor.

Philadelphia, April 5. - Neighbors
and passersby at Buttonwood and
Ninth streets were startled by the
spectacle of a weeping man running at
top speed with a baby clasped tight in
his arms.
Fast as the father ran with his
four-months-old baby, he was too late
t. save its life. He had been standing
at the baptismal font of st. Michaels
Roman Catholic church, when death
suddenly came to the little one in his
arms. and with fear gripping at his
heart, he ran to the residence of DR..
Horace c. LewaTs. The baby was dead
before he reached the doctors resi-.
dence.
At the house of Rev. John Raba the
father, Siegmund Jenkofsky, had left
a party of friends who had come with
him to witness the christening of his
infant daughter.
Father Raba had been in the act of
sprinkling the water over the child's
head when he noticed that the little
one gasped and then lay still. The lit
tie face slowly purpled and the breath
ceased to come and the baby lay limp
in its fathers arms.
Father Raba saw what was needed.
Hastily extending hisehands over the
little form while it was yet quick he
said: Il christen thee Rachinka." Then
to the father he said: Go quickly to
a DOCTOR" and named DR.. Lewars. The
father waited for no second bidding
and dashed out of the door and
through the streets.

on the part of his brother.
The children were playing in the
yard. when one placed his hand on the
chopping block and the other raised
the axe, expecting the hand would be
drawn away. The axe was quicker
than the hand, and it was cut through
at the wrist. 1t is feared that blood
poisoning will set in.

One OF the difficulties OF the Eastern
brewers in their efforts to abrogate
the dive. the grog shop and other Of
fensive institutions which have been
called products Of the brewing inter
ests, was overcome when Western
brewers said they would GO hand In
hand with their Eastern associates and
give them every aid possible. Eve,
since the committee OF fourteen. II
New York, investigated conditions
there and the refusal OF Eastern brew
ers to supply certain dance halls with
beer was the outcome, Western brew
ers have been sending their product
into those places.
The matter was discussed literally
by eastern and western representative
and a truce has been patched UP. This
will prevent the places getting theil
