Awful Holocaust at Rasselas.
Trapped in s barn by a load of bay
wbich completely tilled the eutrance,
four boys, tbere of whom were sous of
John Adams, • farmer of Basselas, and
the otber a nephew, were burned to a
crisp shortly after two o'clock yesterday after noon.
The dead are:
JOHN ADAM?, aRel- j_
MICHAEL ADA^ISJ, aged 9.
JOSEPH ADAMS, aged 6.
MICHAEL BO-jlff, aged 8, a nephew of Mr. Adams.
The injured:
JOHN ADAMS, father of tbe boys,
badly burned aud rendered unconscious iu attempting a rescue.
The boys bad been workiug iu tbs
llelds helping Mr. Adams to make hay
and had preceeded a wagou load driven by George Adams, aged 14, to the
barn. Just iw the load of bay bad
stopped Inside the barn, completely
tilling the entrance way, tbe driver
beard the cry of fire and so quickly
did It bum that be barely had time
to escape over tbe rear or the wagon,
The otber boys who were in the loft,
were unable to get past tbe wagon
and perished.
Hearing tbe cry of Are and tbo
screams of the children, Mr. Adams attempted to rash past ths load of bay
and Into ths barn. Several times be
was driven back, badly burned about
tbe face and bands, and in a final attempt was overcome and had to be
dragged out by neighbors, wbo by tbls
time (iad arrived at tbs scene of the
lire. Every effort was mads to reach
the children, bat the hay fanned by a
still breeze through tbe doors, burned
furiously, making it impossible for any*
one to get near the building. The horses
were also burned to death and the barn
-Ith Its contents were entirely consumed.
Late tn the afternoon, three of the
bodies were recovered. They were
burned to a crisp and identification
was made possibleonly by tbe differ*
enoe in their sWe and an examination
by a physician. Last evening the
body of the oldest boy, John Adams,
was found under tbe body of the horse.
- Coroner E. B. Sharp, of Johnsonburg, was notified and arrived at Rasselas at about five o'clock. After a
brief examination be announced that
a formal inquest was unnecessary.
Tbe origin of the fire is a mystery
and wilt probably never be, known.
None of the boys smoked, nor was
than anybody about tbe premises who
had lighted a match or had any firs
about during tbe day. Hone of tbs
Adams boys carried matches but it is
thought that young Bostk bad some
in his possession as he was known to
carry them.
Both Mrs. Adams, mother of three
of the boys, and Mrs. Bosik reached
tbs Are shortly after It started and it
was only by tbe restraint placed upon
them by friends that they were kept
from rushing into the burning barn
Both women were prostrated last night
from the shook.—Bidgway Democrat.
Mrs. Mary Glllen Dead.
Mrs. Mary Glllen, for many years a
resident of this oounty, died Friday
svenlng at 6:56 o'clock at her late home
on Mill street, at the advanced age of
89 years. Death was due to beat pros*
tratlon and tbe Infirmities of old age.
Although she bad been ailing for some
time, she was confined to her bed only
for about a week.
She ie survived by eight children:
James, Frank and John of St. Marys;
Andrew, who lives at GUlens station;
Mary, (Mrs. Thos. Jones) of Bradford;
Miohael, Sarah and Anna, at home.
Her husband, Miohael Glllen, died
about tsa years ago.
Tbs remains were taken to Kersey
Monday morning for burials The funeral was held Monday morning at 9
o'clock from the St. Boniface Catholic
church at Kersey, Bev. Father Winkler conducting the funeral services.
Interment was made In the Catholle
cametery In that place.
Mis, Gilleu was born in County
Derry, Ireland, in 1822 Her maiden
name was Mary Doyle. She same to
this country with ber parents when
about 15 years of age. The family
settled down In New York, where a
few years latter sbe met and married
Michael Glllen. In 186a Mr. and Mrs.
Glllen came to this oounty and taking
up their residence at what Is uow
known as Gilleu .Station, aud which
named after them. A year or two
after hsr husband's deatb, Mrs. Glllen
moved to St. Marys aud since then,
or about eight years, shehas made her
home here. She was a member of tbe
Rosary iSoclety of the Sacred Heart
ohurch here.
Worse and More ol It.
Tuesday night a number of gowns
were again ruined by being spattered
with ink. Apparently the fiend has no
fear of being detected and he, or she, as
tbe case may be, is getting bolder light
along. This time tbs victims are sure
that the inky fluid was squirted on
them while they were walking along
Erie Ave, between the Family theatre
and Diamond street.
A new outrage, equalled only by the
above, occurred Monday afternoon.
Tbe victims of this new outrage was a
party from Ridgway, who had come up
in sin automobile aud was bespattered
with a solution of lime and acid,, a
composition tbat marred the beaty of
the car by removing tbe liuioh aud
paint. The stufl was thrown in broad
daylight and la tbe heart of the town
SB wben tbe car Blopped at the Franklin
House, the composition was still fresh.
Undoubtedly tbis new piece of vil-
lauy wiu the work of the same party
or parties concerned In the ink throw
ing and their coming out in broad daylight shows their open defiance of
present methods employed to appre.
hend them.
It Is high time that some concerted
action ba taken to capture tbe
criminals and bringing them to justice.
Two Horses Killed.
It would appear as if an agent of tbs
society for the prevention of cruelly to
animals is badly needed in St. Marys.
Tbe Elk Livery and Dray Co. lost a
valuable lioree wbich was driven to
death by two men aud bad to be shot
to put it out of its misery. The two
men hired the horse to drive over to
Kersey, but instead of coming home
from tbere tbey drove on to Bidgway
and thence to Johnsonburg and then
home around the other way. They
made tbe trip In about four hours.
The animal was literally driven to
death and was not sble to get out of
the bam since then. Tbe livery man
was obliged to shoot tbe poor dumb
brute to end its suffering.
. Llyeryman T. B. Anderson also lost
one of his best horses Saturday evening, when some fellow hired a rig and
drove out In the country with it. The
occupants of tbe rig stopped along the
roadside and tied the horse to a fence
post with tbe lines without taking
them out of the rings ln ths harness.
The animal began to back up and tbo
more it backed tbs harder the lines
pulled until Anally ths horse strangled
itself.
People who have no more feeling for
dumb animal should bs made to feel
the Btrong arm of tbs law.
