LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
WOleott's Millers' Supplies Establishment
Damaged $4,000 by Fire-lnsured.

Just at 6 o'clock last evening, when the men
were leaving their work, fire broke out in the
Office and storing-room Of G, Fl. Wolcott's mil
lers' supplies establishment, on South Pennsyl-
Vania street, and for few minutes burned very
hercely. Before the general alarm sounded
che No, z hose company were at work on the
FIRE, and through their efforts and those of the
remainder of the department., which arrived
promptly, the flames were confined to the room
in which they originated The loss here was
considerable, however for besides the furniture
and fixtures, quite quantity of boiling cloth,
which is very valuable, was either destroyed
or greatly injured Mr.. Wacott said
there was 5000 worth of this stuff in
this room alone, and he could not tell how great
his loss would be until he could ascertain how
much it was damaged. Later however, he
thought that his loss would reach $50. 900 and
might exceed this. 1t is covered by insurance
for So. 100, which is devided as follows: Stock
S. 600 machinery 300, furniture 5000, in the
companies named: Union of California 81. 600,
Royal of Liverpool 81 000 Springfield of Massa-
chusetts 81 00O Girard of Philadelphia 81, 900,
Northern Assurance of London 5000. The fire
department. did excellent service in suppressing
the fire, which for time was very threatening.

snow. A few who freed themselves
were injured more or less and half
dazed by the calamity that had over
taken them. The night was dark,
and the snow had been piled SO high
and IN such enormous masses that 1t
was with the utmost difficulty that
any spot could be located. Tools of
nearly every description had been
buried, and no one knew where to
look for them, In the course of tine
the telegraph Office was found com
paratively uniniured, and assistance
was asked from Wasatch and Salt
Lake, both Of which responded with
great promptness.
While the few people at Alta were
waiting for this much'needed help,
they made such progress as they could
toward uncovering the buried houses,
keeping a sharp lookout meantime for
additional slides. Working thus un~
der difficulties, they succeeded in
reaching several persons and in bring
ing them to the surface, most of them
in time to save their lives. Not a cry
was heard from any Of the victims,
and until these rescues were made it
was feared that all had been killed
outright. Every few minutes the
roar, crash, and echoes of a slide fur
ther up the canyon would be heard,
the trembling earth making addition
al avalanches at Alta seem inevitable,
but fortunately y none occurred.
The next morning the relief parties
from Salt Lake and Wasatch appear
cd on the scene, and as they came pre-.
pared for hard work they soon had
the various houses uncovered. Even
then many of the victims were taken
out alive, after fifteen or sixteen hours
imprisonment, but the number of the
dead was large. AS other slides are
| liable to occur at any moment, Alta
has been abandoned for the present.
Most of the members Of the relief
party accompanied the dead and in
jured to Salt Lake, but a few adven'
turous fellows set out on an expedi-
ton up the canyons for the purpose
of giving assistance 10 any miners OF
| others who might need it. They found
evidences of tremendous avalanches
on every side, and narrowly escaped
destruction themselves, but, owing to
the uncertainty as to whether cabins
which they knew had been swept
away had been inhabited or not, they
are unable to say what the loss Of life
had been. There is no doubt that
many miners perished. The rescuers
saw an avalanche strike cabin, and
they are certain that it was occupied
but they could find no trace of a hu.
man being in the wreck below, though
they dug there for hours.

''Now," said the bride, "Henry, I

as old married men do. Do you
hear?"
'Well, darling, I'll try, but know I
will not succeed"
The first evening Of their arrival the
bride retired to her chamber and the
groom fell in with a poker party, with
whom he sat playing cards until 4
o'clock IN the morning. His wife
spent the weary hours weeping. At
last he turned up and met bis grief
stricken bride with the hilarious ques-
ton:
well, amt doing the old married
man like a daisy?"
She never referred to the subject
again, and every body knew after that
they had just been married.

sons, both those concerned in the
robberies and those who afterward
shared the proceeds thereof. So many
persons were implicated by this con
fession, and there being no evidence
to sustain it (besides himself, he hav-
died day or two afterwards it never
was made public.
Dr. Braddee had accumulated a
large amount of money, most of
which was confscated after his con
viction. Agent Kennedy drew So,
500 of it out of the Brownsville bank.
It was not proved to be mail money,
but it was nevertheless made way
with.
During all his troubles DIR. Brad
dee's most devoted friend was his
wife. She was pat IN jail in Pitts
burgh to be held as witness against
her husband. She was afterwards
bailed out by steamboat captain,
and when the trial came on she walk
ed from Uniontown to Pittsburgh and
carried her child On refusing to
testify against ner husband, Judge
Irwin impatientlY informed her that
he would compel her to do so. How
will you compel me2" she defantly
asked. ''I'Q put you in jail" THANK
your honor, I've been there" The
Judge wilted.
After the conviction of her husband
and the loss of all his property Mrs.
Braddee took her four children and
removed to Barbour county, West
Virginia. She had no relatives there,
her object in going to SO obscure a
place being to get entirely away
from all persons whom she had ever
known, She afterwards removed to
different places, always keeping in
the mountains. Thus for over 40 years
she wandered about in mountain re-
treats. Finally she lay down to die
IN q mountain fastness known as
Garner's hollow, on Cheat river.
Her remains were taken to Oak
Grove cemetery, Uniontown, and as
they were borne thither the funeral
procession came down Morgantown
street and turned out Fayette, the
very corner whereon stood the house
in which DR.. Braddee achieved his
fame and his destruction.

and has sustained it by private utter :
ances.
In the event of the treaty being
finally ratified, the boundary question
would afford a perplexing interna-
tional problem. The San Juan river,
through which the waters of Lake
Nicaragua reach the sea, is the natural
division between the two countries,
and was recognized as such by the
king of Spain, when he divided Amer
lea among his favorites so long ago
as 1887. Ever since that time it has
been accepted by all concerned, and
the Costa Rican authority has always
extended to the river. In 1853 a
treaty was negotiated between Costa
Rica and Nicaragua on the subject,
and this boundary was agreed upon,
but the latter government contends
that the treaty was never constitution
ally ratified. However that may be,
Nicaragua has until now recognized
Costa Rica's claim to the right bank
of the river, and there is said to be
sufficient documentary evidence to
support it.
It is a curious fact tn 325 years
ago the king of Spain proposed a
canal across the !isthmus here, and
had the same route surveyed that is
now under discussion. He tried to
raise money enough to do the work,
and negotiated with Amsterdam bank
ers for a loan, but failed. a company
was afterward formed in Holland f@1
the purpose of constructing the canal,
but the scheme fell through because
of the belligerent attitude of ENGLAND.
