SOMETHING OF 4 BLAZE.

4 ClergymSn'S Residence Destroyed Yes
terdny Morning in West st. Paul.
A brief mention was made in yesterday
mornings GLOBE of an alarm of fire having
been turned in at 4 o'clock from box II, and
that building was burning near the out
skirts of West st. Paul. The several appa-
ratus covering that district responded, but
on reachi ng the bridge Chief Strong seeing
that the fire was in vicinity where no guam
tity of water could be found, sent the steam
or and hose carts back to their houses. Chief
Strong, the members of Hook & Ladder Co.
No. l with their machine and GLOBE re-
porter, however, started for the fire, and on
arriving at the scene, found dwelling house,
situated at the corner of Caroline and Gale
avenue, wrapped in flames. 1t was seen that
the house could not be saved, and the boys
Immediately formed ''bucket brigade" and
by their efforts succeeded in preventing the
flames from spreading to barn and several
hay racks in the rear of the burning building.
The house destroyed was owned by the
German Lutheran Emmanuel church and
was occupied by the pastor of the church,
Rev. Emmanuel Achilles, as a parsonage.
The fire, when first discovered, was in a
building and had gained considerable head
way. Mrs. Achilles was awakened from her
slumbers by the bowling of the watch dog,
and found the house filled with smoke. She
aroused her five children, and after despe-
rate struggle, being almost suffocated with
the smoke, reached the open air. The resi-
dents in the vicinity were soon hurrying to-
ward the fire and an effort was made to re-
move the furniture, which was prevented by
the rapid progress of the flames. The only
articles saved were piano, set of parlor
furniture and several beds. The building
was totally destroyed, and among other
things burned was a fine library belonging
to Mr.. Achilles, valued at $4,000. The
building was insured for 5000 in the Etns
Insurance company, the policy being held by
the trustees of the church. Tho amount of
the loss sustained, or whether there was any
insurance, could not be ascertained, as Mr..
Achilles was at Minneapolis, where he went
Saturday afternoon, being engaged to preach
in the German Lutheran church at that
place Yesterday.

4 Singular Explosion,

A singular and destructive explosion took
place In the pastry room of the Metropolitan
hotel on Saturday afternoon, which almost
resulted in serious personal consequences.
Shortly after o'clock rumbling noise
was heard by the inmates of the room, in
the vicinity of the carving table, almost in
Simultaneous with which the steam boiler
used to keep the meats warm, and running
parallel with the table, exploded with stun
ming reverberation, heard throughout the
house.
For an instant the air was filed with
knives, forks and: other cutlery, sections of
boiler iron, fragments of roast meats, grid
irons, gravy ragouts, fricasssed poultry and
score of less savory articles.
At the time of the explosion the room
was filled with walters and domestics, who
were seized with the utmost CONSERVATION.
The only injury reported was sustained by
q young girl named Maggie Duffy, who was
SCALED on the arms, the injuries not being
very serious. A young man named Hamlin
had charge of the table and apparatus, and
although this is the second occurrence of the
kind, it is difficult to know where to place
the responsibility.
