A HOT FIR e
Licks UP a Cooper shop and a Cot.
ton Mill.


Shortly before noon yesterday morning
fire broke out in the carding room of the
Northwestern cotton mill, situated at the
corner of Fillmore and Winter streets
southeast. near the East Mime
apolis transfer. The flames spread
rapidly, the building and its infam-
mable contents burning like so much
finder. The fire department responded
promptly, but before the firemen arris ed
the large frame building occupied by the
cooper shop of William Stevens and an
adjoining structure occupied by the East
Side Life printing office were also in flames.
1t was found necessary to lay the hose
from Division street, a distance of two
blocks, and by that time the task of
saving the building had become
a hopeless one. About fifty coopers are
employed il the Stevens shop, but all were
attending the picnic at Wacona and only
two or three men were in the building. AS
result very little of the contents were
saved
FIVE MEN INJURED.
James Kinnan, living on Broadway, near
the street car barns, and John McAuliff,
living at 703 Fifth street. both Of whom
are employees Of Church & Graves,
were i'll the second story of the cooper shop
trying to save the tools of the workmen,
when they found themselves headed off
from the stairway by the dense smoke.
Both jumped from windows. McAuliff in
juring his back severely, and Kinnar break

engine mouse had an artery in his right
arm cut by falling glass, and bled profusely
and Billy Malone of Engine company No.
had his right ankle badly sprained by a
falling wall. Charlie Brown of Cataract
engine had thumb broken in handling
hose
amounts to about $50. 900, the buildings
being burned nearly to the ground. William
Stevens places the loss Of his cooper shop
and its contents at $4,000; insurance,
So, 800. A large quantity of coopers stock,
belonging to Helm, Syme & Co.,
was burned, which is valued
$4,000. The firm had also 5000 barrels
stored in the yard, upon which the loss is
81, 400, the insurance being only $1,000.
Fifty kits of tools, valued at 5000. which
belonged to the workmen, were destroyed.
Long Bros. d Co., who owned the Cotton
mi |, place their loss at $1,000, and A. E.
Ball editor Of the Life, places his loss at
$1,000. The building was owned by
William Stevens. who estimates the loss at
$1,000 One thousand ties belonging to the
Northern Pacific railroad were also burned.
The fire was one of the hottest that ever
occurred in the city. and the fire depart.

it, owing to the great heat. Stevens an

possible. About sixty men are thrown out

THE MANY MISSING.
Another. But Not Sensational--The
Brodie Case.

brO0se case.
Another mysterious disappearance is re-
ported. but this time it is plain everyday
man, and not a woman. so the sensational
editor cannot get in his deadly work by des-
cribing in glowing language the distress of
the agonized parents. and the beauty Of the
missing damsel fair. He feels heart broken
because it is thus. but will endeavor
to give the facts in simple,
straightforward manner. June 25 Nick
Wagner, Hebrew horse dealer, arrived in
Minneapolis from Whittimore, Ia. with a
carload of fine horses, which he disposed of
for about 81, He remained around
different stables in the city for few days
and then disappeared. Since then it has
been ascertained that before leaving his
home he had borrowed considerable money
from friends. Numerous letters have been
received here asking after him, but no one
can give any information concerning his
whereabouts. He has a wife and several
children Whittemore. He is described
as small man, with marked Jewish ac-
cent and very horsey in his talk.
THE BRoDIE CASE.
Mrs. F. W. Brodie, who deserted her
husband in Chicago the latter part of last
week, has thus far eluded the grasp of the
detectives who have been working the case
She was in this city the week, but the fact
was not known until after she had left the
city again in company with well-known
business man. 1t will be remembered that
last year Mr. and Mrs. Brodle
kept fruit and confectionery store at 80
Nico.let avenue, where Mrs. Brodie ap-
peared to be the presiding genius. She is
a tall, handsome woman, very command
ing in appearance, and her escapade has
occasoned vast amount of talk among
her former friends. Mr.. Brodie is now in
Chicago, and is using every means in his
power to lind his wife and induce her to
return.

EX-GOV. ZyASRBURN.
His Opinion Regarding Flour Mills
and Politics.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-The New York
Tribune has the following to-day: Ex.-
Gov. W. ID. Washburn, the great flour man
afacturer of Minneapolis, was in the city
several days last week. He made the state
ment that he did not believe a single flour
mill in the west had made a cent during the
past year. The present outlook, however,
is better for the milling interest, and he
looks to see some of the losses incurred by
the falling off Of the wheat market in the
last four months recovered. A rise of a
few cents on the market price of wheat
would help the millers very much, in spite
Of the fact that their stocks are not as large
as they were during the early part of
the year. Advices he had received
concerning the coming wheat crop are that
it will be short, especially in the spring
wheat belt. 1t requires a full crop in this
territory to keep the present milling
capacity running fully. The shortage in
spring wheat will require another spread
into new fields. The chief political inter-
est in Minnesota is centered in the election
OF the legislature, which will select a sue
cessor to Senator Mcmillan. Ex-Gov.
Davis is already actively in the field as
candidate against the senator. There are
g dozen men anxiously watching the contest
