A CLOSE CALL.
Mcconnell g. Thomas Narrowly Es-
cape Burning Out.

This city narrowly escaped Friday night
what might have been the most serious
fire in its history About 1880 o'clock
last evening some goods in the cloak de-
partment of Mcconnell & Thomas large
store took fire and blazed up to the cell
inc. The fire was communicated 10 9TH
er goods, including fine embroideries,
ETC., and 1t was with the greatest effort
that Mr.. Mcconnell, assisted by few
clerks and neighbors managed to con-
troll the flames. 1t was finally eXtin-
guished, as they thought, and the store
was locked up and everyone wentaway.
But the fire was only smouldering and
at about $50 O'Clock burst out again as
hard as before. Messrs. John Klein, Leo.
Lamm and a few others burst the
doors and windows In and after another
hard fight finally put out the fire. The
building was completely filled with
smoke and quite crowd of spectators
gathered in front of it. 1t was most
lucky escape. Had the fire once gained
Roadway there Is no estimating the
amount of damage that might have been
done. In the long absence Of ram ev-
cry building is as dry as timber and the
| fire department would have had difficult
ty in checking the progress of the fire.
The fire was started through the snap
ping off of the head of a parlor match,
with which Mr.. Mcconnell was endeav-
oring to light the gas. He did not no.
tice that the head had come off and start,
ed back to get another match, when on
turning around he saw that sheet
which was covering some wooden goods
on fire. He called one of his clerks
to his assistance and by means of blank.
cts and water extinguished the blaze, as
they thought.
About forty cloaks, valued at from So
down, were burned. A great amount o.
embroidery was totally or partially ruin
ed by water. A large amount of Other
goods in the store were injured by the
smoke. The fire extended over one
whole table and also singed a quantity D
fur goods which were hung above the
table. The total loss will probably no
be less than $1,000. There is full insur
ance, no less than Twenty-Five compan
les being represented.

of the appearance of Robert Down
ing at Duluth this week the NeaUs says:
"The crowd that W Welcomed him at the
Grand last evening has rarely been ex-
ceeded in size or distanced in quality.
He met with what really might be
termed an ovation on his first appear
ance in this city, and for man who has
so suddenly sprung into prominence the
size and enthusiasm of the audience
was truly remarkable. Many words OF
commentator from press and people
precede him and the most that has been
said of him is probably none too good.
Naturally endowed with a splendid
physique, handsome face and form
and smooth, well modulated voice, he
makes of the Gladiator a character
which probably no man of the present
day, no matter how well trained, could
possibly equal Forrest and McCul
Tough will be remembered as the only
men of note who essayed the part in
the past. Manager Mack has sur.
rounded Mr.. Downing with a company
of men and women of known ability
and long standing in theatrical work
bringing together band of artists
strongly and evenly balanced, selected
from Forests, McCullough's and Sal
vini's former troups. The production
taken in its entirety, has never been
equaled in this city, the stage setting
and scenery being perfect in every par
ticular, the arena and bivouac scenes
being sublimely grand, while the cos
| tuning was rich, beautiful and true t.

MR.. LASSOW STILL TRUE.

The question of U. S. Senator, as all
we'll know, did not enter into the Re-
publican nominating convention, Meth
er did 1t enter into the campaign, only,
as heretofore stated in these columns,
through the candidacy of that rancorous
Democrat, Mr.. Jno. &. Wise who, Git is
no secret is very bitterly opposed to
Mr.. Sabin's reelection. He was de-
feated, on the issue that he brought
most prominently to the fore, and IT is
not likely that his likes or dislikes will
influence the Republican members one
way or another.
The Post, German paper published in
this city has endeavored to draw Repre-.
sentative-elect Lassow out in a public
letter on the Senatorial question, but
that gentleman, remaining true to every
condition existing at the time ofthe con
vention and since, true to his manhood
and consistent with himself, refuses
"most emphatically to write or say any.
thing that would be an impedment u
the exercise of his free will"
Mr.. Lassow, like the remaining mem
bers, will exercise his own good judg-
ment on this question when the time
comes.

ANOTHER PROTECTED IMPROVE
MENT.

Among the many new buildings that
are projected for next year, one of the
most important is proposed enlarge
ment which John Klein & Co., propose
to make to their present large building
on South Front street. Mr.. Klein owns
the building just south of his furniture
store, and now occupied as barber
shop. This he proposes to build up to
the full height of the other building,
three stories, and to join the two with a
large archway. The first floor of both is
to be lowered to level with the side
walk, and fine plate glass fronts put in.
The front of the remodeled binding will
then be somewhat similar to the new
Union block. This will give much
needed increase of room, which is re-
quired by the expanding proportions of
the business of this enterprising firm.
