GROCERIES GO UP.
Total Destruction Of Beaupre,
Keogh & Co.'s Large Whole
sale Grocery House.
A Widespread Confagration Pre-
vented.by Prompt Action Only
Loss 100000

ST. PAUL, Jan. 1.-THE wholesale
grocery house of Beaupre, Keogh & Co.,
was entirely destroyed by fire last even
ing. The entire fire department of the
city was unable to save the five-story and
basement building. For a time the en-
tire wholesale portion of the city as well
as the Union depot, was threatened with
destruction.
Mr.. Keogh, one of the proprietors, told
an American Press Association reporter,
that the stock of groceries was valued at
a fraction over $500, 000,. and was in
sured for that amount in companies
represented through the agency Of John
Rogers, Jr. & Bro. The first seventy
five feet of the block, said Mr.. Keogh,
was owned by Willius Bros, and cost
about $50, 600; the twenty-five feet ad-
Joining was owned by parties in Boston
and cost about 10000. 1t will thus be
seen that the total loss on building and
stock is a fraction over $3.50, 900, and the
total insurance is about that amount.
The firm, said Mr.. Keogh, has secured
new quarters and will continue business
without interruption, but under adverse
circumstances. r. ;a .... s..,...s....

70 THE FIRE FIEND'S WORK. !

Destruction of the Church of the Re-
.+- deemer at Minneapolis.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. i6.-The
beautiful Church of the Redeemer,
Minneapolis, one of the most elegant and
costly of the religious edifices of this city
Of churches, was entirely consumed by
fire Sunday. Nothing but the four bare
gables and the tall spire remain to the
people of that fiourishing congregation.
The fire began at $50 a. m. and burned
steadily until after 9 at night before the
destruction of the building was complete,
The building cost $4,000 and was in
sured for $50, The masonry work
was very substantial, and if the walls
are not injured beyond slight repair it is
likely that the $50, 900 insurance carried
will cover the losses.
