Four Burned to Death and a Fifth Fatally Injured.

Corsicana, Tex., March 27. - A negro prisoner at the
county farm, two miles from here, set fire to his cell
to-day in an effort to escape. The flames spread, and
before the prisoners could be removed four were burned to
death and a fifth was fatally burned. The man who started
the fire was among those burned to death.
