for the Lack of Fire Escapes.
MINNEAPOLIS. MINI, Dec. 5.--The cor
oner's jury in the inquest on the bodies OF
the victims of the Tribune building fire
brought in verdict at 5:l5 o'clock this
afternoon. They finding occupies thirty
eight closely written pages. The verdict
declares that the owners Of the Tribune
building, if not legally responsible, are
morally culpable for the loss of life. They
recommend that the assistant building in
spsctor occupy his whole time in looking
after fire escapes. The fad that the fire
originated In the rooms Of the repub-
lican league (unoccuDied) from causes un-
known. In conclusion, the verdict says: I'm
the opinion of the jury. had it not been for
the obstruction met with in the electric
wires ladder would have been erected in
time to save all of the people who were in
the sixth and seventh stories at the time Of
the arrival Of the fire department at the
scene Of the fire; and that Robt. McCutcheon
would not have fallen, and, perhaps others
who went down the fire-escape would have
availed themselves of the opportunity
offered by the fire department ladders in
stead of Drawing fire and smoke to reach
the flre-escape. Therefore we would recon-
mend that the city authorities take sum-
mary steps to have all the electric wires in
the heart OF the city placed underground"

Her Kind of Faith.

There, for instance, is that story of
the German old maid who had petit
toned the authorities to removed great
hill from in front of her house, in order
that she might get all unobstructed
view of the river Rhine. The authori-
ties were disobliging and pig-headed,
and wouldn't move the hill. The old
maid pleaded, but quite in vain. But
she was pious, Bible-reading woman,
and ineal descendant Of Martin
Luther into the bargain. She remem-
bered the text about the faith that can
move mountains, and she resolved to
try it on the great, troublesome hill
that cut off her view of the beautiful
Rhine. She decided upon night Of
prayer that the mountain might be re-
moved, with implicit confidence that
her prayer would be answered. All
night long she wrestled, like Jacob Of
old. What ecstasies Of devotion she
passed through no one may know. and
to speculate upon them would be prof
anation, In the morning she rose,
with radiant countenance, confidently
drew the curtain of her window that
looked toward the mountain, staggered
back with apparent surprise and ex-
ciaimed, "Oond dere it shtands, shoost
as I expected" -Bostoa Transcript
