The fire, which is thought to
have started from burning sticks
and leaves raked up about the
property, originated about one
o'clock at the Crane cottage. The
first intimation that a fire was
in progress was when one of the
ladies at the cottage ran to a
porch and gave the alarm, her
cries being heard by William
White, who was engaged in
painting a house nearby. Mr..
White at once left his work and
went. to a telephone more than
block distant and sent a mes
sage TO Oakland. Returning to
the vicinity of the Crane cottage
Mr.. White, in the excitement Of
the hour, failed to note the dis
appearance of the woman who
had given the alarm and in con-
sequence no one about the town
knew Of their presence at the
cottage except possibly the taxi
man who had taken them there
from the station.
Two or three hours after the
Crane cottage had burned to the
ground and while a smouldering
heap of ashes yet remained, Mr..
Hervey Bittner, of Oakland, in
walking near the property lines
noticed a white object in the
heap Of ruins and calling atten-
ton Of some other men to it an
investigation was started and in
a few minutes the charred re-
mains of a human form, unrec-
Ognizable, was uncovered and
carried to an other part of the
lot.
Following this discovery it at
once dawned upon the people of
the Park who had noticed activ-
ity about the Crane cottage in
the morning that possibly the
body could be that of one of the
ladies who had arrived on the
train that morning and a further
search in the ashes and debris
brought to the surface within
an hour or less the remains of
three others.
All four bodies were charred
masses and were so incinerated
that Identification was impossi-
bic.
The bodies were found at
some distance from each other,
indicating that the women were
in different rooms when they
were overcome by the fumes
and smoke which poured up in
to the building from the burn
ing leaves and tWigs beneath the
house which were evidently fired
by embers blown the fire on the
outside Of the building and at
some distance therefrom.
Following the discovery of the
bodies of the victims of the fire
communication with relatives of
the deceased ladies in Clarks-
burg was had by telephone and
Messrs. j. F. Hart and J r..
Bennett, sons-in-laW of Mrs.
O'Connor came to Oakland the
same night on train No. II.
Under their direction the four
bodies were all encased in a
heavy bronze casket and on Fri
day afternoon taken to Clarks-
burg where interment was made
on Saturday following services
at the Church of the Immaculate
Conception with the Rev. P. H.

Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, Sept 3.-That Africa
should no longer be looked upon as a
Dark Continent is the opinion of mis-
sionaries who have been at work
among the natives Of the interior and
the great stretches of terror incognitO.
DIR. Il. II. Kellersberger, an intimate
friend Of Charles Mckee, State Bank
Commissioner. of Arkansas has writ
ten him a most interesting letter, Civ
ing a new version of conditions exist
ing in the great continent which was
opened first by Livingstone, Stanley
and the intrepid explorers of their
day. A son of Commissioner Mckee
has been for several years missionary
in the Congo country and Mr.. Mckee
is therefore especially interested in
the progress being made in Christian
izing the country.

bo.h for whites and natives While
miracles have been witnessed during
the last two or three generations there
still remains much TO be done in open
ing up this wonderful country. In his
letter DR.. Kellersberger says:
Perhaps il has never entered into
your local mind that here in Sou h
Africa a great race struggle is going
on. that there are three colored TO one
white person, that there is a great
mixed population, and that the fran
.chisc is already extended to all col
ors in Cape Colony? Some day the
white man will have to give account
of his dealings with the black man.
He is taking from the black his own
laws. his own tribal customs, and Is
by degrees making a BLACK white
man" out of him. What is he giving
him in return? The next few decades
will see great changes and movements
