through o gutter chopped in the ground
and which was filled with water and al

Tho st. Paul Grand = Total Loss.
Shortly after $3.50 on the morning OF the
2lst fire was discovered in the Grand
opera house, st. Paul. BY s o'clock the
fire had gained such headway that there
was no hope of saving the building. The
fire originated in the gentlemen's coat
room during the absence of the night
Waterman. At 9:2O the building was q
complete ruin. The roof of the Fourth
street entrance had fallen and the inside
of the house in ruins. The building was
erected by Commodore Davidson and was
worth $500, 900. II is fully insured. The
trunks and scenery Of the Helen Barry
company had not been carried into the
theater, and were consequently safe. The
building is surrounded by other buildings
so that the department could not get at it.
Nothing but the wallis are left standing.
When the fire started the entire fire de-
partment was called out. The mercury
was then fourteen degrees below zero, and
the water froze almost as fast as it could
be thrown from the hose. The Grand
block, adjoining the opera house, soon
caught d., and the occupants Of that
building hastily departed. The occupants
of the Court and Frost blocks were also
driven away by the approach of the flames,
but it is thought that those buildings will
not lose much by the fire, although the
loss by fire will be considerable. Both Of
the afternoon dailies were crippled by the
loss of power. which was situated in the
basement of the opera house block. The
opera house was originally built at a cost
of $l00,0O0. and recently was reftted at
an expense of $780, 900. The insurance Is
only about S75, ZOO. The flames were un-
der control by II o'clock.
