TT lie ayirc Was) Discovered ICarlsr, Bat Uulrklv obtained Too Hneb Headway to be Subdued One or the old Kind or Fire Traps Dover, N.H., Feb. 10. Last night the insane asvluin of the Strafford county workhouse, about four miles out of this city, was entirely destroyed by fire and 44 of the inmates were burned to death. The building was a wooden affair, 130 by 300 feet in dimensions, and burned like tinder. Only four of the inmates, Rose Sandorn, James Dailey. Frank Dauchamre and Win. Lorn Twombly sur vive. In making his rounds shortly after 10 o'clock. Watchman Shestry discovered fire. He at once gave an alarm, and Wm. P. Dricoll, keeper, and an attend ant, rushed though the inmates' quar ters, which were mainly on the second floor, and, bursting the locks to the cells, tried to appraise them of their dan ger. Bnt the fire had gained rapid headway and a majoritv of the inmates were so confused that they were unable to escape. and the scene was one beyond descrip tion and heart rending to witness. Keeper Driscoll used every possible effort to liberate the inmates, and re mained in the bailding until obliged to jump from the second story window in order to save himself. A messenger was at once dispatched to this city for assistance, and a portion of the fire department was sent to the scene, but before it arrived the building was reduced to ashes and nothing re mained but smouldering ruins. By the efforts oi the firemen, the main building of the institution was saved. Those wbo arrived on the scene cai ly will never forget the horrible scenes wit nessed. The fire brightly illuminated the country for miles around, and the unfortunates could be seen as they writhed and turned about in the burning furnace. The fire was first disco ved in n cell oc cupied by a woman named La Fomlati and was very small, but Watchman Chestly states that it spread with ti rapidity that was astonishing, and be fore he had given the alarm to Keeper Driscoll, it had gained such headway that the only thing left to be done was to attempt to rescue the inmates. The fire extended to the main building of the county farm which was occupied by over 100 of the county's poor. Super intendent -De Merrit at once organized a brigade of these poor and through their heroic efforts the fire was subdued. One of the women inmates of the aav- lum jumped from the burning buildiug to the yard below, but was unable to es cape, owing to the fence that surrounded that portion of the buildine. and she shared the fate of the others. How the fire caught is a mystery. COTTON REPORT. CRV8AOH AUAINST KISHINt; Mot Calculated to send Tbe Price Down Any. Washington, Feb. 10. The February returns of the Department of Agriculture which relate to cotton give county esti mates of the crop as compared with that ot last year, proportion that has left the plantations, the average date of the close of piaking, insect losses, etc. A con solidation of the returns of comparative crops makes the following State percen tage : Virginia, 55 per cent.; North Caro lina, j; ooutn Carolina, 7&; ueorgia, 74: Florida. 60: Alabama. 65: Missis sippi, 60; Louisiana, 55; Texas, 84; Arkansas, 58, Tennessee, 64; general average, rMJVa. No allowance is made for underestimate of crop or overesti mate of distribution. The proportion of the crop received at ports, in stocks of interior towns, in the hands of mer chants, unreported and enroute from plantations is thus stated, as reported by county correspondents: Virginia, 86; North Carolina, 85; South Carolina, 87; Georgia. 89; Florida, 89; Alabama. y; Mississippi, 88; Louisana. 89; Texas. 87; Arkansas, 87; Tennessee; 86; general average 87.9. Quality fairly good as a rule, though better on the Atlantic coast and in Texas than in the interior areas. In the later picking cotton was much discolored by the frost. In most of the States the averageyield of lint is reporte.l at 52 per cent. Tbe losses from insect depredations was relatively small. No losses are re ported north of Georgia and the Gulf states except in Arkansas. The boll worm did more damage than the cater pillar, mainly in Mississippi and instates west of the river. Caterpillars were es pecially injurious in Alabama. Relative ly a large proportion of seed bas been sold to the oil mills on account of tbe small size of the crop and the hieh aricc of oil, in sympathy with tbe advance of lara. Keported prices vary according to tbe accessibility of mills, from 15 to. 25 cents per bushel. In some sections plan ters have been induced to sell by liberal payment in fertilizers. JUST IK TIRE. A Colored Man SIosms m Rasawav Team on North Main. Yesterday afternoon tbe driver of a milk wagon left his team standing an' hitched on North Main street, near Col lege. From some cause tbe team started down tbe street, their speed increasing until they were going in a lively trot. They were on the street car track, which made tbe matter more dangerous, as a street car was coming in from the moun tain. The situation was taken in at a glance by . C. Carrington, a colored man, who ran after tbe wagon, climbed into tbe rear and caueht tbe lines and stopped tbe runaways within a few feet ot tne street car. to Ohio Health officers Want Check Osculailoii. Columbus. Ohio, Feb. 6. Dr. C. O Probst, secretary of the State board o health, today appeared before the Pas tors' union of this city to urge their co operation in two sanitary reforms. One is to stop the custom of indiscriminate kissing and the other to abolish the uee of the same cup in the administration of the sacrament by several hundred per sons. Dr. Probst explained that the most certain and most dangerous trans mission of the germs of disease is by this mouth-to-mouth method. He cited the almost universal habit among ladies of kissing friends on greeting them or bid ding them good-bye, of kissing? babies and children, and urging babies and children to kiss each other. Pastors, too, usually consider it a part of their duty to kiss tbe babies of tbeir parishioners. All this was well meant, but it was as dangerous as it was per functory in many cases. Tbe clergymen asked for some practical suggestions as to how to obviate the danger pointed out in the Communion service. Several were given, but the one considered prac tical was that each communicant have his own cup. A resolution to do all pos sible to bring about these reforms was adopted. Charleston News and Courier. MO COHBIN1? Prices Mot To be Put je In Tbe Market House Mow. A rumor has' gained currency to the effect that there was on foot a movement in the market house to combine and ad vance the price of all meats. The Citi zen today asked one of the largest dealers in the market if there was any truth in the report. He replied that there was not. He added: "Even though the marketmen were dis posed to take such a step, this would be a very inopportune time to do so. The firm or firms that would put up the prices now might make more money for a little while, but they would be re membered by the consumers later on, and in the long run would lose more than they can hope to make. No, the rumor has no foundation in fact." WII.I. FLOAT THE FI.AU. Mr. HarrlHOn Will Hoist tbe aVlrst One the Innian sstc-amers. Washington.
