Household Effects Valued at $50,000 Totally Destroyed and Almost Without Insurance—Pilgrims Meet Death in a Wreck—lce in Several States. Only Wtills Left. Fire destroyed $120,000 worth of property in tile Parry storage warehouse. Nos. 138 and 160 West Monroe street. Chicago, the other night. Household goods belonging to over 500 people and valued at $50.000 were totally consumed. Little of this property was insured. Nor’on Pope owned the buildings, which were worth $35,000 and insured for $20,000. George Parry, the warehouse man. had a furniture store at No. 160 with a stock and warehouse fixtures valued at $35,000. Only charred walls are left standing in front and rear, the larger part of the west wall having fallen during the progress of the tire. The origin of the fire is tin known. The only explanation is found in the fact that a large open barrel of kerosene oil stood in the middle of the ground floor. From this barrel the men filled their lamps. The flames seemed to originate there, and carelessness on the part of the employes is alleged as the cause of the tire. Sentences Mado Concurrent. Judge Woods Tuesday doming ordered that the sentence of Debs ami the other officers of the American Railway Union be made concurrent, ns directed in the original sentence. Judge Woods directed that commitments be uiade out n the case of Debs for six months ami of tiie others for three months each, to expire at the same time as the sentence in the government contempt case. In commenting upon his action the Judge said that he did not desir.* any opinion to be formed to the end that he was seeking to punish the men for acts committed in the strike, but that the punishment was simply for contempt of court: that he had originally fixed concurrent sentences and saw no reason why they should not be i einst it cd. inasmuch as they had been separated in order to permit a vital issue to go before the Supreme Court.

This was found partly open when the neighbors crowded into the little sleeping apartment. The whole family slept iu one small room only 6 by 8 feet in dimensions. Tlie window was closed and the gas soon filled the lungs of the sleeping family and ended their lives. The discovery of the tragedy was not made till rather late Friday morning.

wrong. She went immediately to th e family sleeping-room, where she found hep son anil his family dead iu their beds, while the fatal fluid still poured into the room from the half-opened gas jet. Ex. cept the father, the family seemed to have died easily and without suffering All but Hellman lay in natural positions, just as though their slumbers were one from which they could be awakened.

One ■ pur]Hise is to correct a very prevalent impressiou among embryo naval constructors I that n torpedo-boat is easy to build, being nothing more than a powerful engine eneased in the smallest hull that will float it, for in reality it is one of the most uncertain products of the naval architect, and only the highest degree of designing I nn.l mrn. tnrm -Kill n.,.i .I>. ; ... r mm material will stand tho severe strains and develop the very high speed absolutely required by the contracts under which the torpedo-boats are built.

Eleven persons were killed, eight others are missing, twenty or thirty were hurt, and thirty houses were demolished by a flood which all but swept the town of V mona Mo., out of existence Friday night. Not in the history of Missouri has such an awful story of terror and destruction been told as that which comes from the httle town, and Saturday its inhabitants were wandering about in despair, some homeless, many with relatives or friends dead or missing, and all almost (taze.l by the awful calamity from which ibex had emerged.

, George Nevins; Miss Norma Nevins, sister of George .Nevins; .May Wright. The residents of the village were caught totally unawares by the cloudburst. The evening had been calm, with no sign of an approaching storm with the exception of fitful flashes of lightning far off on the horizon, which, if given a thought, were attributed to the heat, instead of being set down as the precursor of a storm that was soon to wreck the town and engulf human life in its terrible sweep. About 9:30 o'clock rain began to fall, but it was so slight that the few who had not retired for the night did so, thankful for the needed showers. The rain rapidly increased in valume, swelling Pike creek to a flood. Then came the cloudburst, and within an hour the village was ruined and eleven of its citizens were inanimate objects, being dashed and buffeted by the debris as it was hurried down the valley by the sei thing waters. Pike creek runs through the corner of the town from west to east. A few miles west several smaller creeks and valleys empty into it and the torrents of water all joined the main stream and burst upon the town at 10 o'clock. There was no time for escape. Within a half hour the village for a space of a quarter of a mile square was covered with water to a depth of four feet. Frame houses went crashing down into the torrent as the foundation^ were washed away. High above the roaring of the storm and ihe whistling winds arose the screams of the terror stricken people, awakened from their slumbers to battle with death. Vivid Hashes of lightning illumined the scene and added a ghastly pallor to the white faces of the victims as they struggled for a footing in the mid flood. Children could be heard calling tor their parents until their cries were forever stilled by the relentless waters. As the smaller structures were washed down families were separated and people could be seen' on drifts, floating down to what for many of them was certain death. Hardly a building in the entire town with the ,■ v,-option o-f those in the suburbs on high ground escaped the flood. A few years ago the village was almost destroyed by fire, only a few houses remaining at that time to mark the site. Reports from surrounding villages indicate that great damage has been done elsewhere, although there are no reports of loss cf life. Pleasure Party Drowned.

A furious wind and rain storm struck Chicago Sunday afternoon just before 6 o'clock and raged for an hour, leaving death, injury and destruction in its wake on land and sea.
