When we read of the extreme cold of the
northwest or the southwest either for that
matter, We are apt to feel pretty well salts
fled with Michigan. In some of those regions,
especially the mild (?) climate of Minnesota
and Dakota, the mercury has ranged from
thirty to sixty degrees below zero, and many
people have been frozen to death, while .
has been the lowest temperature here, a
temperature that would make "a Dakotan

FIRE! FIRE! FIRE !!
BUSINESS HOUSES IN RUINS!
PAWPAW PUNISHED
a T TINT TOW TDTTO
AN UNLUCKY FRIDAY

our citizeus were aroused from their morn
ing slnmbers by the dreaded cry of fire and
the ringing of fire bells and were, for once at
least, com PEELED to be early lisers.
The fire was found TO De III Salisburys
drug and grocery store, on the north side of
Main street, the old Duncombe u Stearns
stand. the building being owned by j. L.
Mason of Detroit. For time it was hoped
that the flames could be confined to that
establishment, but it was vain hope. The
wind was blowing almost hurricane and, in
spite of the efforts of our brave tiremen, who
were doing all that men could do and in
spite of the fact that the steamer was pour
ing double stream upon the blazing store,
the flames wrapped around the north end of
the building and communicated with the
rear end of Buffers grocery store ON Kala-
mazoo street, which was soon a mass Of
flames, after which it was only a matter of
minutes before Benefits saloon and restaur-
ant, the TRUE NORTHERNER office and Praters
photograph gallery fell prey to the deyour-
ing element and were laid In ashes. The
Sherman block on the corner of Kalamazoo
and Main streets, occupied by Geo. W, Long
well, druggist and grocer, and the Paw Paw
Savings Bank held out but little longer and
were quickly filled with flame, from cellar to
garrett. The outer walls of this block soon
fell with terrible crash, which was fOrtu
nate, as it prevented the conhagration from
communicating with the Dyckman House on
the opposite side of the street and continu-
ing its onward march to the eastward. Bills
borrow's hardware store, adjoining Sails
bury's on the west, was also involved in the
general ruin. The next building on the
west, Broughton's double store, was protected
by a solid brick wall and here the fire was
stayed, but not without hard and desperate
work.
The weather grew rapidly colder and the
wind continued with undated fury; the
fremen were covered with coating of ice
from head to foot, but still continued their
heroic efforts and, until ten O'Clock at night,
a steady double stream, with scarcely an
intermission, was thrown upon the blazing
ruins adjoining Broughtons, and yet the
fire was not extinguished, the engine
having to be brought out again III the latter
part of the night to drench the rising flames.
Geo. Berridge, one of the best and bravest
of the firemen, fell from a ladder during the
early part of the conhagration and was
severely it is feared fatally injured.
Through the efforts of [. b. Conner, a
purse of hundred and fifty dollars was made
up for the benefit of the fire company and to
compensate them for their brave and efficient
work. No set of men could have worked
harder or more effectively. Without their
efforts and the good work done by our
steamer, it is likely the town would have
been almost entirely destroyed.
The estimated losses are as follows

SERIOUSLY STABBED.
Result OF a Quarrel over the EleC
ton.

NeSuht Va q &u0AAOh O"oA sAAS A]'eS-
tiOn.
A serious stabbing affray took place
yesterday afternoon at the corner of Rose
and Davis streets, near the polling place
of Precinct B of the Fourth ward. The
parties to the affair were D. G. Caring
ton, a Republican, and Pat Mullen, a
Democrat. Both had been drinking and
were not in fit condition to carry on a
political discussion. A large banner
bearing the inscription, "Vote for A. Nc
Nally for Councilman" hung on the walls
of the store at the corner and
Darlington poiated to it, saying that any
man who would vote for McNally was
very unfortunate in the character of his
ancestors. Mullen took up his challenge
announcing that he had voted for Nc
Nally, and would not be called any such
name. Before any of the bystanders ap
preciated that the men were very angry
they clinched and struck each other sew
eral times. 1t was probably at that mo
ment that Mullen was stabbed, although
no one could be found who really saw
the act.
The two combatants parted for an in
stant and then Mullen struck Darlington
several times in the face with pair Of
brass knuckles. Darlington fell to the
ground and received one blow while in a
PROSTATE position. By this time several
people who were standing at some dis,
tance away fastened to put stop to the
fight. Mullen turned and ran across the
street and then fell to the ground press
ing his hands to his abdomen, and crying
out: 81 am stabbed TIe has killed
me-"
He was taken to his house which was
only short distance away, in an alley
off Rose street. 1t was found that the
knife had been driven into his body Oh
the left-hand side in front, several inches
above the hip. The cut was a severe
one and may prove fatal. Darlington
was arrested and taken to the station
where he was charged with battery anG
afterwards, when further particulars were
obtained, with an assault to murder.

Entertainments.
DR, JEKYLL AND MIR. HYDE,


 There was large audience at the Hyperion Theater last evening to witness the first ap- psarance of MT. Daniel E. Bandmann in his dramatization of Stevenson's popular novel, s'Dr. Jekyn and MT. Hyde." It was certain ly the most interesting play seen here this season, and all the interest was centered in the principal actor. Most of the audience had evidently read the novel and were en- thusiastie from the first, but the enthusiasm did not reach it's height until the close of the third act, when in response to a double en- core Herr Bandmann expressed his thanks in few we'll chosen words. In his portrayal of this dual role he has made 8 great hit. Moth ing could be more commonplace than his impersonation of the unoffending, heart broken Dr. Jekyll or more horrible and re- pulsive than when by sudden and almost mysterious transformation he appears as Mir. Hyde. There is nothing noticeable in the dialogue of MT. Bandmann's play, but it's great success lies in it's intense dramatic &C., tion, and this dramatic action consists of the sudden appearances and disappearances of

As Fred Bissell was pass ing Clinton Williams, the forger, who acts as hall boy, he heard him abusing another pris- oner. He ordered him to desist, but Will Hams in turn began to use language very dis respectful to him.

Coteries of old and substantial citizens | were to be seen at almost any time of the | day aud evening yesterday at Peck's book | store clustered about heounter where lay l the book for the record of names of old Lan-
 casterian school boys. Bank presidents and prominent lawyers, merchants, manufacturers and others were to be seen there recalling
 their old school days at Lovell's and chatting of the old times when they were boys at school there. All who were not too hurried had an interest to see the old monitor s book which MT. White has in safe keeping, giving the monitors record of ''the bad boys," and many took peep into the book. The item in yesterdays COURIER giving among the bad boys several of our leading and most re- spected citizens had the effect of calling out many old recollections. One prominent citi- zen when signing his name asserted that no one when at MT. Lovells had more whippings than he did, but this was instantly disputed by others present who recalled old friends who were in the habit of getting a private interview with MT.
