B urke, Idaho, Sept. 80. — Burke was
visited by a disastrous tire th is m orn­
ing, w hich for a tim e threatened the
destruction of the town
Besides d e ­
stroying over «10,090 w orth of prop­
erty, it resulted in the death of one
m an and the narrow escape of seven
others, a ll of whom w ere m ore or less
burned.
W hen the cook a t the T iger hotel
left the kitchen for a m om ent, a pan of
grease on the range ignited, scattering
flames a ll over the kitchen.
Alm ost
like a flash the fire spread throughout
the low er floor. Before the sleeping
inm ates of the hotel eould be alarm ed,
the flames had com m unicated w ith the
upper floors, c u ttin g off escape from
the stairw ay, except to a few who were
caBily aroused.
A scene of intense excitem ent fol­
lowed. Men ran from one room to a n ­
other in th eir terror, seeking some
m eans of escape from the flames, w hich
were rap id ly rushing upon them . B ut
few had tim e to clothe them selves,
aside from th eir n ig h t w raps. In five
m in u te s’ tim e the first and Becond
floors w ere all ablaze, and the frenzied
guests w ere com pelled to seek the top
floor of the b uildihg, but not before a
num ber were badly burned.
The hotel is b u ilt upon the side of
the canyon, the ground in the rear be­
ing only ten feet from the w indow s of
the th ird floor. T he fire w as alm ost
w ith in reach of them whon some one
bethought him self of th is fact. W in ­
dows w ere dashed out and the im ­
prisoned and im periled inm ates suc­
ceeded in escaping by jum p in g to the
ground.
W illiam O’M ara, a m iner, was over­
come by heat and smoke before he
could escape frem his room, and per­
ished before aid could reach him.
L ater his body w as found, w ith the
head burned off. Those w ho had their
escape cut off and got out from the
rear were: A uuie Johnson, domestic;
Joe Coburn and B. L. Searles, carpen­
ters; M artin M cHale and P atrick Mo-
H ale, blacksm iths; T. Sm ith and Abel
D anielson.
Coburn and Searles are
seriously injured. The form er is badly
burned abont the head and body; the
latter, besides being burned, had three
ribs broken in jum ping from the build­
ing. O thers are m ore or less burned
and injured, but not seriously.
A ll
the in ju re d were taken to the hospital
a t W allaoe.
In tw enty m inutes the hotel and all
its contents were reduced to ashes,
n o thing being saved.
From the hotel the tire com m unicated
to a warehouse and shed adjoining,
w hich w ere consumed.
B ut for the iron roofing on the con­
centrator, it also w ould have burned.
The flume oaught from a spark, and
but for the prom pt work of citizens in
g e ttin g w ater on it, tbe e n tire town
would now be in ashes.
The T iger hotel was a three-story
b uilding containing forty rooms, and
was the property of the T iger M ercan­
tile Company. It was put up a t a cost
of about «6,000. The furuishiugs cost
«5,000. Insurance to the am ount of
«5,500 was carried on the property.

S antiago de Cuba, Sept. 80.—Vice-

the case of Peter P.iveria, an A m erican
p lan te r m altreated by Spanish g u e rril­
las on his coffee estate, a t La Esper-

D uring his pro­
test to the Spanish officer in comm and
of the g u errillas against the destruc­
tion of his fence and property by the
la tte r’s foroes R iveria w as abused and
led out to be sum m arily shot. Tbe
tim ely intervention of a Spanish scout,
who pleaded w ith the officer and
vouched for R iv eria 's n e u tra lity , alone
saved him. Even theu the g u errillas
were so enraged th a t in defiance of the
officer's orders, they b ru tally beat Ri-
veria w ith th e ir m achetes, and before
leaving his plan tatio n tore down the
A m erican flag w aving over his re si­
dence, w arning him not to display it
again.
A ll A m ericans, the g u errillas said,
were eith er Mambis or rebel spies, and
if not opnely aiding the revolution
were doing so secretly, consequently
they ought a ll to be shot wherever
found by Spanish troops.

R iveria was born in New Orleans.
He is of French extraction, and came

He is h ighly respected by the higher

ed of sym pathy w ith the revolution.

Cleveland, O .. Sept. 80.—.Tust before

carpenter, narrow ly escaped lynching
a t the hands of an infuriated mob of
W est Side citizens.
W ald came home under tlie influence
of liquor, quarreled w ith his wife and
Anally struck her. T heir 14-year-old
sou, E dw ard, seized his fa th e r’« arm
and entreated him to be quiet, where­
upon the brute became enraged and
threw the boy down the stairw ay lead­
ing to the street, a distance of twenty
feet. The little fellow rolled out of
the open doorway into the street, w rith ­
ing in convulsions and frothing at the
m onth. Dr. T urner was summoned to
attend the boy, and a crowd quickly
collected to revenge the brutal outrage.
The Rev. John McHale, a Catholic
priest, hastened to the scene and ad­
m inistered the last rites to the dying
boy.
M eanw hile the crowd increased to a
mob, w hich was goaded into fury by
the sight of the Velpless child strug­
gling in convulsions on the pavement
u n til the clam or lo r revenge swelled
into an om inous roar.
Forty men
forced th e ir way into the house to drag
out the inhum an fath er and others
were dispatched for a rope. W ald had
locked him self in a bedroom.
The
door was broken open and the brute
dragged into the street, lighting des­
perately. The polica arrived before the
rope appeared. The mob gave battle
to the police determ ined not to allow
W ald to escape them.
D uring the scrim m age the prisoner
broke loose from those who were hold­
ing him and ran aw ay down an alley
tow ard the river. The mob was close
a t his heels, and w hen the fugutive
reached the river he plunged into the
cold, m uddy w ater of the Cuayhoga
and was drow ned. The boy w ill die,

press of H avana is engaged in a heated
edito rial discussion of the proposition
to expel from tbe island all Cuban ne­
groes, as soon as the trium ph of the
Spanish in the present struggle shall
be assured.and w ill follow np this step
by encouraging w hite im m igration
from the poorer provinces of the island.
The negroes would be allowed to vol­

notice, w ould then be forcibly tran s­
ported in governm ent ships to the coast

Portland, Me , Sept. 38.—John K.
Geutry today at Rigby Park paced the
fastest mile ever made in harness, and
placed the w orld's record a t 2 :00' a .
The day was cold, and a light n o rth ­
westerly wind was blowing up the
stretch, when Geutry, w ith Andrews
behind him, came out to go agaiust his
record of 3:01 ‘a , made on September 8,
this year, at Glens Falls, N. Y.
The famous paoer scored once or
twice w ith the runner who was to pace
him, and then went up the stretch on
w hat was to be the fastest m ile ever
done by a horse in harness.
The ru n ­
ner was at the pacer's throat-latch as
they made the first turn on the stretch.
Gentry went steadily and w ith appar­
ent t^ise, tbe ruuuer having bard work
to keep bis position.
The judges caught tbe quarter m ile
at 39 !.| seconds, and the second quarter
was made in 0 : 3 0 making tue half
mile in 0 :5 9 'a. The runner, by the
use of the wuip, was keeping up at
G entry’s wheel, but was m aking hard
work of it.
The third quarter was
made iu 30 3-8 secouds, iuakm g three-
quaters iu 1:80jq.
As they turned into the homestretch
and oaught the wind in the teeth, the
orowd began to yell wildly, and. both
drivers began to encourage their bosres.
W ith the shouting of the crowd, which
was now cheering like mad, the pacer
spurted for the wire, and, considering
that be had the wind iu his face, made
the most remarkable quarter of the
heat in 0:S0>4. the m ile in 2 : 0 0 ' a , just
one second less than the record.
