sad Mishap of n Washington Territory
Woman on Her Way East.
ROCHESTER,, y. Y, May "a week or
more ago Mrs. Chss. SimOnsOn, of Wash
ington territory, started to visit friends in
New York city in company with her little
girl of years. She was apparently in
good health, but the excitement of the
journey seemed to wear upon her. She
was unused to travel and the constant
move and loss of rest so affected her that
when still some distance from Buffalo she
became violently insane. She was affected
by dread that some one was going to kill
her. With great difficulty the conductor
prevented her from Jumping from the train
with the child in her arms. When the
train reached here she was taken to an in
sane asylum with the child. The mental
condition of the latter causes some appre-
hension. Mrs. SimOnsOn's husband is a
prominent lumber dealer of Washington
territory.

Journal will say tomorrow: misleading
and exaggerated reports of damage by
forest fires in the upper peninsula during
the early part of the week are being sent
to the outside press by one or two special
correspondents up here. In the section
where so many homestead and pre-. empti, n
claims were located the past six or eight
months there were numerous "bush" fires
Monday and Tuesday, but no considerable
amount OF territory was burned over and
the property loss is trihing. A station
house was destroyed at Bruce's Crossing
to-day, and several settlers lost their shan
ties with the contents, but beyond this the
damage did not go in that region. There
was no loss of life as reported. On the
MenOminee range outlying buildings were
destroyed at a couple of mining locations
and a hamlet named Spaulding got a severe
scorching some days ago, but there has
been no heavy losses of timber or other
property in this region"
