A BIG CONFEDERATION.

FOrty.One Buildings in Ashes-A Half
Million Dollar Ffre-GraRd Haven,
Michigan, Nearly Wiped Out-Many
Dwellings Consumed.
GRAND HAVEN, Mich, Oct. Ia tremen-
dous FIRE wiped out good portion of this city
this morning.
Among the buildings burned are the fol-
lowing: The Cutler House, one of the best
hotels in Michigan; the residence of Dwight
Cutler, q beautiful place filled with ex-
quisite furniture and valuable pictures
and works of art; the residences Of
Mrs. slayton, T. A. Paris, George D. San
ford, Captain McCullim and A. 8. Kenzle.
Three churches were burned, First Re.
formed, Unitarian and Methodist. Besides
these about thirty residences. No lives were
lost. The sweep of the fire included both
sides of Main street from Slsyton's grocery
up. The fire originated in the Akeley insti-
tute and everything In its path was wiped
out.
Crossing Columbus street between Third
and Fourth the flames swept out all the
Fifth street, including the Methodist Episco-
pal church, the residences of A. 8. Kedsec of
the Herald, and Postmaster Sanford. The
vigorous efforts of the county officials and
the isolated situation of the Jail and court
house did much towards saving
those buildings from flames. The total
number of buildings destroyed is forty -one,
while the loss is estimated at fully half a
million dollars. The bank resumed business
in the American express Office at noon. The
contents of the vault in the First National
bank are supposed to be in a safe condition.
Many families have lost their all with no in
surance.
The fire was most disastrous In its results.
The heart of this thriving city is in ashes.
There will undoubtedly DO much suffering
among the poorer classes, as In some cases
they have lost their all. The mayor has tell
egraphed to neighboring cities for substantial
aid. Many guests of the Cutler House
barely had time to escape, some rushing into
the streets in their night-clothes. Many ex-
citing scenes were witnessed, but happily no
lives are reported lost. The chief losses
and assurances obtainable are as follows:
D. Cutler, loss $3.50, 900, insurance $82, 900.
Reformed church $4,000, insurance 81, 1000.
Unitarian church $25, 600, Methodist Episco-
pal church $4,000, Henry Barr, druggist.
$4,000, o. N. v. Slayton, grocer, $1,000,
W. Q. Shelton $4,000 Butts liv-
cry $4,000, Mulls' market $4,000,
George D. Sanford So, 900, N. I. Beaudy, dry
goods, 100000; s. Munroe, $4,000; Rev.
Wormser s. 200, Western Union Telegraph
company 81 1000, Telephone company 81 900.
There are also various minor loses uninsured.
Tho total loss is variously estimated at from
one-half to three-quarters of million, with
total insurance at about $4,000

Alexander Grant, a Clerk Kmplsyed At
About $6OO-Confesses but Kscapes-
Detectives on His Trail.
Another ease of dishonesty on the part of
q clerk similar to the Wood case, has been
discovered. The victimized employer In this
case is Councilman John w. Lowe, druggist,
at the corner of Park and South streets. and
the dishonest employe Alexander T. Grant.
Grant is young man about twenty years
old and five feet six inches high, with dark
hair and eyes and weighs about 1875 pounds.
He has slight side whiskers. His father,
Duncan Grant, resides in Halifax, N. g.,
where he also lived until about nine months
ago. One of his brothers, Robert T. Grant,
lives in Westville. In February he entered
the employ of Mr.. Lowe as clerk.
In July he was taken sick with the typhoid
fever and was taken to the residence of DR..
Dunno on Howard avenue, where he was
nursed and attended by the doctor during
his illness, which lasted nearly a month. For
all this the doctor has not received cent in
payment.
All of Grants pecululations were made
prior to this sickness. Just how much his
thefts amount to has not yet been definitely
ascertained but the sum total will probably
be in the neighborhood of $500.
Immediately after his recovery from his
Illness Grant went to Halifax and after
months stay returned to this city. Then
after spending few days with Mr.. Lowe at
his cottage at Short Beach he went 10 Bos-
ton, where he spent three days in wild dissi-
patton, returning to this city in very de.
moralized condition.
Eweek ago Saturday night Mr.. Lowe dis
covered that some one had been stealing
from him and accused Grant of the crime
whereupon he made confession.
He asked Mr.. Lowe to give him until the
next noon to consult with his brother Robert
T. Grant of Westville as to. what would be
the best thing for him to do. Mr.. Lowe
consented and Grant left for Westville say
ing that he and his brother would come in
and see Mr.. Lowe at O'Clock the next (Sun-
day. afternoon.
While he was gone, however, Mr.. Lowe
decided to prosecute him, and, procuring g
warrant for Grants arrest, awaited for his
return, but he didn't make his appearance.
He is now under the surveillance of the
police. 1t is probable that he will be appre-
hended in few days.
Mr.. Lowe, when seen by COURIER re-
porter last evening, refused to divulge
Grants whereabouts, bat said that probably
he would be arrested in few days. Other
persons, who have considerable knowledge
of the affair, however, state that Grant has
another brother, William Grant, promi-
nent hardware merchant of Winthrop, Mass. +,
and that in all probability he is staying with
this brother until the affair blows over.
The theft was not committed while Coun-
Gilman Lowe was at the Shore, but pre-
viously.

yellow Fever ON Board.

NEW York, Oct. There is anxiety in
marine circles concerning the bark Jane Law,
whose arrival has been anxiously expected
during the past week. About week ago
the surgeon-general at Washington was in
formed by the American consul at Havana
that the bark had cleared for this port with
case of yellow fever aboard. While at
Havana one of the crew had died of the fever
and the other victim was then quite i'll.
Notwithstanding this the vessel put to sea.
The health authorities were informed and
measures were Immediately taken to inter
cept her at quarantine. According to cable
reports the Jane Law left Havana September
Ii with full crew all shipped in Havana.
She IL commanded by Captain Pierson. Just
before she got to sea there was q mutiny
aboard, but no particulars are known, ex-
cept that after the crew discovered that yel-
low fever was aboard they refused to go to
sea in her. After delay of several days the
crew submitted and consented to make the
voyage. It Is now eighteen days since the
bark left Havana and no tidings have been
received of her.
