VICTIMS OF FIRE. They Perish‘in a Death-Trap at Seattle, Wash. Fire Breaks Out in a Hotel While the Guests Are Asleep—Sixteen of Them Lose Their Lives In an Effort to Escape. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 29. — A fire, which resulted in the death of at least sixteen persons and the injury of three othels, broke out in the West street Columbia and West streets, o'clock Saturday morning.

Anderson was btyrued and badly bruised. / X. The fire was undoubtedly caused by the explosion of a lamt>dn_the kitchen. The proprietor's son wasaroSstHsaljy the noise of the explosion ateut 1 o'clock, but before he could investigate the flames had spread all through the house. The eorrurated iron sheeting kept the flames hid until nearly the whole interior was a furnace. The thin partitions were of resinous pine covered with cheesecloth and burned furiously. The sixty guests were atoused and the rush for life followed, j At’S a. m. the fire was under control and the firemen were able to enter the shell of iron. At the head of the stairs they found the body of a man pinned i to. the floor by the ruins of a bed. . The body was terribly burhed. One poor l fellow was caught in the rush of the ' conflagration near' the top of the West I street stairway and sank down overcome with the smoke and flames. The firemen fought to keep the fire away from his body but were driven back. . In one of the hallways ,a: body, charred, blackened and without a vestige of clothing, was found. A little farther on in the same passageway was another body, evidently that of a woman, face upwards and hands stretched as if fighting for her life and appealing for assistance -which never came. These. was little left of the woman's form, for part of the body was charred and the burned bones lay around it. The saddest sight of all was found. in the inside room off the passageway which led to West street. There calmly lying in a charred and blackened led nas evidently an entire family. The father lay on one side, the wife next to him and a little burned and blackened arm, the flesh falling in shreds from it, the small fingers clutched, showed that a- child was among the victims. In a corner of a small inside room two charred and naked skeletons met the gaze of the lookers. The clothing was burned from each,; and the first, •that of a man with blackened stumps of arms, seemed to be fighting an impending dantry. Immediately beyond him. also bolt upright and clutching her waist, was the skeleton of a woman. Startled, they .had risen fronv their couch, the- smoke and flames had rushed in upon them,' aqd before they had realized-their awful danger they were overcome an<L>met the most.horrible of dehths. The arrangement of the halls of the hotel made such a labyrinth in the daytime one unfamiliar with the place would have had difficulty in finding his way about witfiotH several attempts. and yis theyhalDs were tilled with smoke there was little chance for any of the victims tb make their way out before suffocating. Some of the lodgers were asleep and Were overtaken in bed. while others rushed into the halls and were suffocated and burned. . ■ A DUEL TO THE DEATH.

BLOWN UP BY DYNAMITE. Unknown Dastards Cause Three Deaths in Pennsylvania— Many Hurt. Wilkesbarre. Pa . Oct. 29. — A dastardly outrage was perpetrated at 5 o'clock’ Sunday morning wherein it was premeditated by the scoundrels to sacrifice fifty or sixty lives by sending them into eternity with a force of dynamite. The motive was undoubtedly robbery, and it resulted in the death of three Hungarians, while a large number were injured, eight of whom are in a serious condition. The dead are Frank Novako, Mike Calletz and George Silatski. Calletz leaves a wife and four children in Hungary, and Silatski a wife and two children inBohemia; Novako was single. McDonald & Sayre, railroad contractors, are building a second track of 7 miles on the. Lehigh Valley cutoff at a point 1 mile from Fairview in the wilds of Wilkesbarre mountain. A Hungarian camp was located which was presided over by Mike Urklowitz and wife. The camp consisted of a rough building 30 feet square constructed in the midst of a thicket of Scrub oaks beside the track. During the night, as is always the custom, three of the sixty Hungarian boarders, men and women, sat. up on watch and were whiling away the time playing cards. Some time during the night a party of desperadoes secured a battery and brought it to the railroad track in front of the camp, and connected itwith a wire, completing a circuit to each corner of the camping house. A tool chest near by was broken open, from which were taken a number of dynamite sticks, which were distributed beneath the building. The circuit completed, it was but a moment's work to turn'on the battery setting off thedynamite. However, in the haste with which the miscreants worked they made faulty connection at the battery, and when it was turned on but one and certainly not more than two of the dynamite sticks exploded. Frank Novako, who was one of the party playing cards on the first floor was instantly killed, both legs being blown off at the knee. The building totally collapsed and was shivered into slivers, excepting one-half of the roof which sank in, partially covering the debris. The two other men at the card table were scarcely injured at all, while the others killed and injured met their fate from the collapse of the building. Occurring as it did before daybreak, the condition of the unfortunate foreigners was deplorable, and in their frensied condition they knew not which way to turn or how to act. The force of the explosion was so great that the earth was torn up about the site of the camp, and their effects in the way of baggage, cooking utensils, etc. were scattered in every direction. The boarding boss, says he is at a loss as to what prompted the deed. So far as he knows, he has no enemies in the world. Some of the boarders think the motive was robbery, as several of them were known to have considerable money in their possession. If this was the object, it is plain why the villains placed so much of the explosive under the building. They wanted to kill every person in the place in order to get the plunder and then escape detection. One of the wounded men says that immediately after the explosion he saw four strange men running down the roadway leading to the village of Miners' Mills. They carried lanterns. While he lay on the ground another stranger approached him and rifled his pockets. He also cut the belt which encircled his waist and carried it away. ROUTED THE CHINESE. Another Important Stronghold Captured by the Japanese. Washington, Oct. 29.—The Japanese legation has received a dispatch which confirms the news published in dispatches from Shanghai of a second victory of the Japanese army under Marshal Yamagata. The telegram is dated Hiroshima, and reads as follows: ‘.'Before dawn of October 28 our army under Marshal Yamagata attacked Ktn-Len-Cheug. vue of the important strongholds „pon the Chinese frontier.

PILLSBURY’S ALWAYS THE BEST. Attacks on the Celebrated Brands of Flour of the Pillsbury - Washburn Company Fall Flat. The National Pure Food Exposition, now being held at Battery D, is a financial and artistic success. There is an interesting rivalry between the exhibitors that furnishes both profit and amusement to the visitors. The only thing to be regretted is that the representative of a brand of flour appears to think it necessary to make absurd and unreliable statements about the well-known Pillsbury brand of flour in order to call attention to the merits of the product which he represents. His statements, probably unauthorized and made without the knowledge of his employers, are not only absurd. but are offensive to the thousands of visitors who know that Pillsbury's Best is without a rival in the flour markets of. the world. For twenty-four years it has maintained its supremacy, being the first patent process flour to be placed upon this market. It has established itself in the affections of iwarly every housewife in the. land. There is not a baker or bread-maker that does not know that Pillsbury’s Best t» the best. Other flours are often used because retailers find it more profitable, for the time being. to sell flours which cost them less and consequently give them a larger profit. The Pillsbury Mills are the largest in the world and the Pillsbury flour is universally conceded to be the brand par exceiicnce. Con- s Burners say that manufacturers of .other patent flours have never vet succeeded in maintaining the high standard without variation for a series of years, which appears to be a secret known-only to the makers of Pillsbury’s Best. There is a market for flours of all grades and makes, and it is to be regretted that the representative of any firm should have the mistaken idea that sales can be made by misrepresenting a flour of international reputation. This representative also attacks the celebrated brand of Washburn’s Best, also made by the Pillsbury-Washburn Flour Mills company, as an imitation of some of the brands of flour made by the WashburnCrosby company. This is" very amusins, and simply shows dense ignorance when the fact is known t*at the brand of Washburn’s Best has been on the markets of this country twenty, years, while the present' brand of Washburn-Crosby ’s superlative is only three years old.

A Low Water Level In Rivers, Ponds, Wells, and other sources of drinking water threatens danger from malarial germs. This condition is usually found in the Fall, and it points to Hood’s Sarsaparilla as a safeguard against attacks of disease.’ Hood's Sarsaparilla makes pure blood, and thus guards the system from all these perils.
