Hottest Spot In America.

Death Valley in the desert of
southern California, near the Nevada
line, is said to be the hottest place IN
the United States. The only inhab-
tied place there is Furnace Creek,
where the government established a
weather bureau few years ago. At
that, the place is the home of only two
or three white men and few Indians
who keep ranch there. For more
than 500 days between 1910 and 1918
the thermometer registered 100 de-
grees and one day In 1913 it reached
1873 degrees, hitting the top of the tube.

The horse is really one of the best

YORK is SCENE OF
DISASTROUS fire
Mcneil Block, Containing Postoffice,
Bank, Opera House and Stores
Burned.
LIKELY STARTED IN TRASH

York, Jan. 8.-Fire, which is believ-
ed to have originated in trash pile
at the foot of stairway, destroyed
the Mcneil building, on Main street,
here this morning, entailing a prop
erty loss variously estimated at from
$4,000 to 100000, and only partial
ly covered by insurance. The fire.
was discovered about $3.50 o'clock and
was still burning tonight, although it
has been under control since noon
In response to call for help the
Rock Hill fire department came over
at II o'clock Oh special train and
assisted materially in getting the con-
tlagration under control. The Loan
and Savings Bank, the York post
office, the Yorkville hardware store
and the w. E. Ferguson Grocey Com
pany occupied the ground floor of the
building, and these quarters were
completely destroyed.
All Records Saved.
The records Of the bank and other
valuables were secured and placed in
WIN oohS bSioIS lilS III bIOhc Ill. AL
the mail and records in the postoffice
were removed to safety. The York
vile Hardware Company's $4,000
stock was completely destroyed, with
only $1,000 insurance. w. E. Fergu-
sons stock was valued at about
$4,000, with about $3.50 insurance.
The second story was occupied by
the White Rose Club, the Yorkvile
Opera House, Cartwright and Jones,
dentists; DR.. j. j. Glenn, physician;
H. G. Allen, architect; j. r. Lindsay,
fire insurance; DR.. d. l.. Speider, op-
tician, and the York public librsry,
all of which quarters were totally de-
stroyed, with a loss to furniture and
fixtures of several thousand dollars,
and very little insurance.
The building, which was the prop
erty of Mrs. S. M. Mcneil, was valu-
cd at about $4,000 with only $4,000
insurance. Mrs. Mcneil told The
News and Courier correspondent she
had not decided whether or not she
would rebuild. The loss is unques-
tionably the greatest this town has,
suffered in a quarter Of a century

DEATH SENTENCE FOR -
THE BOSTON BROk Err
Adjudged Guilty of Killing His Wife
Then Firing Cottage to Hide
Crime.

Ossipcc, n. H., Jan. 9.-Frcderick
l.. Small today was sentenced to be
hanged on January Is, 1918, for the
murder of his wife, Mrs Florence A.
Small, at Mountain View on Septem-
Der 28 last, in accordance with the
verdict of a jury Monday night.
Judge John Kivel asked Small if
had anything to say why sentence Of
death should not be pronounced in
accordance with the verdict rst::-n-
ed last night.
II have, Your Honor" said t;maI.,
II know no more about the crime thar
you do. l am innocent person"
Clerk Kenison then read tn, SEN
tcnce, in which Small was ordered by
Judge Kivcl confined in state pc. son
until January IS, 1918. The law vy-
qulres at least a year and day be-
tween the passing of sentence anI H..
execution. The court allowed SO
days for the filing of a bill of cxcep
tons.
The murder of Mrs Small, Sept.
28, was committed in a cottage at
Mountain View. The woman had
been beaten about the head, shot
through the forehead and stranrlci
by cord before the house was de-
stroycd by fire. The crime would
never have been discovered had not
the partly burned body dropped into a
pool of water in the basement. Small
had left the house to go to Boston
seven hours before the flames we're
discovered, but the State contcnded
that he had arranged clockwork
contrivancc which had kindled the
fire. For motive the state pointed
out that Small would benefit from q
$4,000 life insurance policy by his
wife's death
? The defense contended that Mrs.
Small had been murdered after her
husband had gone to Boston.
