It ia too diaa^reea'ild f)r mun- ma’a little boy to go to echo >1 today. Mrs. David Coker and Miss Mrs. C. A. Buchheit was burn ed to death at her home on Evans •street about 3 o’clock this after noon. Mr. W. J. Abrams, a shoemaker who has a shop next to Mr. Buch- heit' bakery, walked into the bak ery on his way from up.town and told Mr. Buehheii that somerhing was burning in h : a place and that it smelt like hay and cloth burning. Ruth Richardson, of Hartsville, are spending the day in Florence.: Thereupon Mr. Buchheit began to M Mr W. M. Huts >n, of Aiken, agent for the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company, was at the Central last n ! ght. Train No. 78 coming from Charleston this morning was about three hours late and the Columbia train was about two hours Utte,all o: account of the storm. ■ I At 8 o’clock this morning the thermometer registered 25 degrees, at 12 o’clock it registered 33 de grees and at the time of going to press, about 5 o’clock, it regis tered 31 decrees and is still falling. There is no telegraphic commun ication today except from the Western Union office to the depot. There is no, chance of getting a weather report'frr this point. The Columbia Daily Register publishes in today’s issue |'report for South Carolina to theJ effect that there will be rain ana aslight rise in I in/estigate matters. Finding noth ing burning in his store, he and Mr. Abrams steppedjinto the shoe shop to see if anything was on fire there. Finding no flames there they went to Mr. Buchheit’s resi ; dence, which is just behind the store, ami immediately a dense smoke was seen issuing from a window of one of the rooms in the rear of the house. The door was broken down and before their eyes lay an appalling sight. Mrs. Buck- heit, wrapped in flames, was lying across the bed. The fire was quickly extinguished but too late to save her life ; she was dead. She was horribly burned, so much so thatvshe could not be recog nized. There are a great many theories as to thu cause of the fire but the reai cause will never b known, as no one was near when 1 it occurred. The first known is was burning in the bed* room in which the ta in LOW PRKf ENCASED IN Winter's Cold Hand is Laid on Florence. WIND, RAIN, SLEET. Serious Damage to Trees and Shrubbery—Electric Wires Down—Street*) Covered With Broken Limbs. When the people of Florence Be stirred themselves ihis morning, after a uight perhaps of restless shivering under blankets, and glanced out upon the face of na ture, they were somewhat amazed and not altogether pleased at its frozen appearance. They saw tree-< and shrubbery literally en cased in ice, and long 'icicles hanging from the fences and eaves of bouses. They lound it still raining, and when they sftmmed up courage sufficient to venture out they fronted a doubling up, icy-cold, nmt-Iaden, disagreeably strong wiud from the north—an ear-freezing,nose-reddening wind— a wind whose wierd whistling had dur.ng the night sent icy chills chasing one another down their backs and made them growl about the w ather.
