The Burned Property.

The Minneapolis mill, owned and operated
by Crocker, Fisk & Co., was erected in 1865,
by Frazee, Murphy & Mcpherson. At that
time it was fitted up with five run of stone
and had a capacity OF only QUO r.er day. In
1871 the old building was swept away by a
confagration. During the same year the mill
was rebuilt by the present owners and its daily
capacity increased to 400 barrels of -four. 1t
was fine stone structure, IS by go feet
upon the ground, and four stories in
height. Last year the mill was thoroughly
overhauled, the stones abandoned and the roll
er system adopted, using twenty sets of
smooth and corrugated rollers with still
further increased capacity to $50 barrels of
superior -four per day. This mill was valued
at SlOO, 900, and was insured for $4,000.
The Minneapolis Cotton mill, owned by
Dorillus Morrison, was valued at $4,000. In
January, 1877, 1t was rented by Harkamp &
Cummings, who fitted it up and had it in
complete running order in July, manufactur-
ing seamless bags, cotton bats and carpet
warp. A few months subseqent Cummings
retired from the firm. The structure was
4OxSO feet, three stories high, supplied with
superior machinery, and manufactured from
raw cotton $4,000 worth Of goods annually.

Items of the Fire

Every member of Hose company No. was
hurt.
G. A. Pillsbury & Co. served substantial
breakfast to the firemen.
When the fire broke out the Pillsbury B
was the only mill in operation.
The waterworks worked admirably, giving
an abundant supply of water and strong
streams.
Two or three wood offices, on the platform,
near the cotton mill, were burned. They were
small, cheap structures.
Money to the amount of Sill. rs was found
on the body OF \ r. Stapleton, the millwright,
which is in charge of Coroner Fairbairn.
Five or six freight cars caught fire from the
mills and three or four were burned up
They belonged to the NJ. & st. L. Railroad
company.
Thousands of St. Paul people came up to
see the ruins, and were glad to find the loss of
life and property much less than they had
heard before leaving home.
The destroyed -four mills had an aggregate
capacity Of about g. 400 barrels day, q little
less than one tenth the aggregate capacity Of
all the flour mills of the city,
It is generally believed hot box or belt
friction started the fire. It spread with the
rapidity of wind throughout the building,
following the belt boxes and elevators.
c. A. Pillsbury & Co. owned and operated
the Pillsbury mill, and operated the Excel.
sior mill, which was owned by D. Morrison,
and operated the Empire mill, which was
owned BY L. 8. Watson, Of Leicester, Mass.
The platform in front of the cotton mill ls
near the Empire mil, was at one time burn
ing and the sawmilis above il were in danger,
but by this time the fremen had succeeded in
bringing their hose around and thus saved the
endangered property.
The Minneapolis Tribune sold about II, 600
copies of its extra edition OF yesterday. giving
an early account of the fire. Several hundred
copies were brought to st. Paul about noon
by enterprising newsboys, who found quick
sale for all they had.

The Previous MA. Disaster.

s This disaster vividly recalls to the mind the
facts connected with the other and more ter
rible mill disaster at Minneapolis, by which
six Touring mills, with eighry-six run of
stone were destroyed, and several others more
or less injured, involving a loss of nearly
100000, with s5l9, 300 insurance, and the
death of eighteen persons. This disas-
ter occurred at z o'clock Thursday evening,
May 2, 1878. As in the present
case, the disaster was caused by
by both, fire and explosion, the explosion,
however, preceding the fire instead of follow
ing 1t as in this case. The mills destroyed
were the Washburn A, Petit, Robinson, Gal
axy, Zenith, Hennepin, and Humboldt. All
the destroyed structures have since been re-
built, and all on more extensive scale, and
the same will undoubtedly be the result in
the case of the mills destroyed in the present
disaster.

Another Valmable Acquisttson to Ktstson-
dale.
Another equine star has been added to the
Klttsondale stud by the purchase of the bay
mare So So, 6 years old, by George Wilkes, he
by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, dam Little Ida, by
Alexander's Edwin Forrest, for $10,000, which
is considered short figure Tor an animal OF
her ability. Little Ida, the dam of So-So, is
among the noted brood mares in the coun-
try, having thrown several 2:30 trot-
tiers besides $3.50, and is now the property
of DeGraf & Hopkins, of the Lake Elysian
stock farm, and is stinted to their stallion
Alexander.
So-So is described, by the Kentucky Live
Stock Record, as "blood bay without white,
rather large head and ear, with good should
ers. fine length, good hips and quarters and
sound feet and legs, and stands full sixteen
hands or over. She is big, smooth gated
mare and moves like piece of machinery. AS
a 2-year-old she trotted two heats at Lexing-
ton, KY, in 2:3lX. -2:31; second and third
heat, without skip OR break. and could, it
1t is claimed have easily trotted in the twenties
iu that day. She did not do well at three
years old, but made record of 224 as four
yeard-old at Lexington, when really not IN
condition. This season, as a six -year-old, she
trotted in 2174, and we firmly believe that II
kept on the turf will trOt IN 2:l5 or better the
coming year. With the exception of Maud
g., St. Julien and Trinket, she has no super
ior, and it looks pity to consign her to the
stud, as we learn that Commodore Kittson
bought her simply for brood mare"
We presume the Record is correct in the
statement that the purchase was for breeding
purposes; as it corresponds with the course
pursued BY Commodore Kittson with Lady
Rolf and other fast mares he has purchased
the past season, his theory being that greater
speed will be secured where both the sire and
dam are fast, as well as Of standard breed

eral opinion is they will not carry their op-
position any further. 1t is reported tonight
that Senator Cameron is working to beat
Mcpherson, but he denies and says he is not
taking any part in the fight. There are two
or three Democrats absent, SO that even should
Barr and Enett vote against McPhe rson,
a combination strong enough to beat
him cannot be effected. Early this evening
there was some uneasiness for fear com oina-
tion might be made, but at this hour, mid
night, it is conceded that Mcpherson Will be
elected without trouble. One plan of oppo-
sition was to adjourn the house Immediately
after Keifer's election, with view of trying
to make combination, but they found they
were not strong enough.
oRaAN1zATIoN OF THE HOUSE.
The impression prevails the organization of
the house will be considerably delayed by OBJ
jections to swearing in holders of credentials
from several southern districts by threaten
contests, and in regard to the admission of
Delegate Cannon, of Utah. Many well in
formed persons, however, are of opinion that
the house will be ready to proceed to the elec-
ton of officers early in the afternoon, in which
event it is expected the Republican nom inees
will promptly receive the requisite majority
vote, and the presidents message be sent in
before to-morrow's adjournment.

a lew weeks ago We advised the planting
of the Russian Mulberry, tree successfully
grown by the Mennoni,es in Kansas. Our
item wac generally copied by the newsps-
pers, and the following comments, by the
Wellington Pre.f, msy be Of interest 10 the
people Of Western Kansas:
''The ediisr Of the Pres has three hun
dred feet of Russian molbsrries growing IN

last spring; were at that time one year old
from the seed; and were Obtained from the
Russian Mennonite settlement, in Harvey

above stated, they were 40 tsrdy in display

future hedge from that planting we're absn-
doned. Bat during the latter part OF Nav
they began to grow, every one OF them, and
many Of them have al this writing attained
a height OF twelve feet. The trunk and
branches OF the tree are strong and stalky,
and the hedge is fully equal to an O.sse or
ange hedge OF even more msturs age. Al
leas, a dozen Of the trees came into LEAKAGE
ihis season, the fruit ripening early in June.
They are prolific bearers, and the fruit il

grounds, and as they grew, the natural dis
position to grow all in a hesp-so TO speak
was sharply corrected by free Use of a
pruning knife so that their appearance at
present is this, OF sbapely tree Thee
trees seem 10 grow utterly careless OF heat o.
cold or drcuih, and SO TER they have been
proof sgainst Insect attacks. The Russians
grew them first in this State from imported

grown from native seed we are not inform
ed. ButIhis question will be so.ved by VIM.

full farmers. is devoting intelligent attention

ornamental snd useful, TO plant the Russian
mulberry literally. TIE plants lone year
old may be obtained at the Russian settle
mons, in Harvey or McPherson counties in
large numbers and at a smsll co-t-ssy not
to exceed fftr cents per hundred, and may
be shipped AT Newton. We would further
advise parties VII, wish to Try them to pro-
cure their supplies this fall, ani plant them

thrive where other varieties fail, and even
where only the uuloyly and fo,bidding cac-
tbs has heretofore had exclusive sway.
