NEVADA CITY, CAL, Aug. 15.-
This morning fire was discovered
issuing from q large frame build
ing owned by L. G. Keith, situated
on the Plaza. An alarm was given,
but before the firemen arrived and
could get on water the f1ames had
enveloped the building and spread
to the adjacent buildings. After
the firemen got to work they sue
oeeded in preventing the fire from
crossing the creek. The building
in which the fire originated was
divided into three compartments
= and occupied by blacksmith,
cabinet shop and quartz mill. The
entire building was destroyed, to-
gether with the residence of l.. @.
Keith, a Chinese wash-house, Il
large building known as Temper
ance Hall, Thos. Mahar's residence
and VIM. Bartcn's blacksmith
shop. The people whose property

probably reach $4,000, on which
there is an insurance of $4,000.

esrOnE Assurances from Dr. II am
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-The T3nses's
Washington special says the
strongest assurances as to the Pres
|. ident's case come from DR.. Frank
Hamilton, who has staked his pro.
fessional reputation upon the state
ment that the President will get
we'll. He has never made posi-
\ tive affirmation of this before. He
/ said, guardedly, that he thought he
r would get we'll; that his prospects
were good, and all that sort OF
talk; but he has, within the last
twenty -four hours, said positively
that there was no doubt OF It..
\, He was asked II there was
any reason for encouragement
throughout the country and said:
"Not the slightest. The slight
fiuctuation in pulse and tempera'
ture which occurs from day to day
has no special Significance. The
causes are often obscure and trans-
lent and ought not to create in the
public mind either alarm or en-
couragement. The public car
Judge better as to his condition by
the fact that, from week to week
there Ia general improvement
At least 1t is safe to say that there II
no general change for the worse. A
very decided improvement canno
be expected until the pus-rottinl
surface is reasonably diminished
In size and more time has elapsed
after the last incision. You MAJ
assure the public that the Presi
dent will recover, IL they will onl.
wait patiently for the result. Yo'
may add that 1t will be REASONABLE
to expect rapid improvement
when the weather becomes littl
cooler. The hot weather is one O
the greatest difficulties we have t
contend against"
