Elve Rurned ID Death.


Supposed to have been caused by
the explosion of lamp during the
night, two houses at Oneida, near
Hazleton, Pa, occupied by Gabriel
Gerotsky and Michael Slovak, Hun
garians, were burned and five mem
bers of the Gerotsky family lost their
lives in the flames.
Gabriel Gerotsky, the father; his
daugters, Annie, twelve years old, and
Mary, aged eight years, and his sons,
Michael four years old. and Gabriel,
two years old, were burned to death,
Mrs. Gerotsky and John, a crippled
son, escaped.
The crippled boy was awakened
from his sleep by the cracking OF
the flames. He and his mother went
downstairs to investigate, but could
see no fire, and returned to the sec
ond floor to go back to bed.
When they reached the top Of the
stairs the flames, which originated in
the Slovak home, had eaten their way
through to their home and shut of
the sleeping members Of the Gerotsky
family and they could not be reached.
The Slovak family was awakened in
time and escaped from their home in
safety.

white, black and pink pearl jewelry,
valued at Sl300o0. had vanished over
night from the drawer of a writing
desk in the bedroom Of her suite.
The police have little hope of get
ting the thief, and the officials of the
Hamburg American line say that un-
less the police solve the mystery it is
likely to be forever unsolved.
The Hamburg-American line dis
claims all responsibility on the ground
that passengers leave jewels in their
staterooms at the owners risk To.
the police Mrs Drummond described
the missing jewelry as follows:
Two strings Of 273 pearls each.

diamonds.
One pair large pearl earrings set
with diamonds.
One black pearl brooch, set with
diamonds. with a black pearl, pea

ed detectives down the bay in a tug.
They learned from Mrs. Drummond
details Of the theft and began a comb

crew. But not trace OF the jewels

Biz landslide In Panama Canal.

Without warning and upsetting all
theories and all estimates, 100000 Gu
bic yards of rock and earth slid into
the Pioneer cut, just opposite the town
of Culebra, in the Panama canal.
It is one of the worst slides the
canal commission engineers have had
to contend with, and it is worse than
any previous slide from the fact that
the others could be explained, even
were predicted.
The latest avalanche of dirt changes
canal plans materially. It makes 1t
seem necessary that the entire prism
shall be enlarged sufficiently to pre-
vent any occurrence of the sort after
the completion Of the canal. There
seems to be no doubt that all Of Gold
Hill will have to be removed, in itself
a considerable undertaking. And 1885,
900 yards of the slide itself represents
waste.

THE CONFEDERATE LINES.

The enemy was intrenched along the crest
of Missionary Ridge, the line extending
from the northern end for a considerable
distance toward the south and then cross
ing the valley 10 Lookout Mountain. An
other line stretched from the river east OF
Chattanooga across the valley 20 Lookout
Mountain. Besides the fortifcations on tie
crest Of Missionary Ridge there was an.
ether line al the foot. which played an In
teresting part IN the battle. The pickets
of both armies were so close together IN
the valley near the town that they could
talk 20 each other, and at one point they
were separated only by the narrow creek
which gave it's name 10 the town and yal-
lev and from which both armies drew wa
ter. Near the Union line in front OF Ms
sionary Ridge was a rough, steep hillock.
perhaps 100 feet high, called orchard hnoo.

he would be at the front as soon as pos
sible. The gallant Thomas's prompt reply
was:
I'VE will hold the town till we starve.'
Preparations for the safe journey Of the
little steamer with it's load Of supplies were
begun before General Grant reached Chat
tanooga. General W. +. Smith, the engineer
i'm chief OF the army, had found that a
road leading from Kelley's Ferry ran
through Lookout Valley TO the river at
Browns Ferry and crossed Moccasin Point
10 the town, providing a short land route
around the gorge and its difficult water.
There was a force of 1000 Confederates
at Browns Ferry. and General Longstreet
was in Lookout Valley.
General Grant reached Chattanooga on
October %, and Immediately approved the
plan OF General Smith for getting pos
session Of this short route. General
Hooker started from Bridgeport, where he
had been encamped, on the morning OF
October %, and proceeded along the river,
! leaving detachments at proper points TO
protect the road. The movement was not
strongly opposed. and two days later the
major body OF his troops were within a
mile Of Browns Ferry.
Something like CONSERVATION seized upon
the Confederate commander, and Long
street fastened to take fresh grip upon
the enemy who had so easily torn away
his grasp. The possession OF Lookout VAL
ley was as vital to Bragg's success as TO
the safety Of the Army OF the Cumberland.
That night Longstreet threw himself down
upon Geary's division, which had not been
advanced as far along the valley as How
ards corps. and between the bivouacs OF
which there was a considerable interval.
Gearys men, sleeping soundly after their
march, sprang TO their feet at the first
alarm and met the onslaught of the foe
with determination. Troops sent to the
relief by Hooker were attacked in the
flank and a lively conflict ensued in which
