Three Thousand Precious Stones at Isgue

Three Thousand Precious Stones at lSsue
in All Eastern Court.
A very curious action has just been
recorded in the court of the recorder OF
Rangoon. The plaintiff was one of the
wives of ,Iindoon Min, King of Bur-
nah, Thebaws father and predecessor,
and is known as the Linn ban Queen, and
she claimed as sole heiress of her
daughter, the Saw]in Princess, TO be
entitled to a large amount Of jewe1ry
deposited with the defendants III 1878
under unusual circumstances. The
Princess, it seems, says the Chicago
News, was great favorite with her
father King Mindoon Min, who made
her large and frequent presents OF
gems and jewelry Of ali kinds. In 1875
Mindoon Min was on the point OF death,
and it was known that confusion in the
palace would follow Oh that event. 1t
was apparently foreseen that his sue
cessor, Thebaw, wo1ld--as, in fact, he
did-m11rder most Of his relatives at
once, and while the King lay dying
special measures for guarding the pal
ace were taken. The Limban Queen
and her daughter, the Sawlin Princess,
dreading what the near future had in
store for them, concerted measures to
get the Jewels of the latter out Of the
palace to a place of safety where they
would be accessible in case Of need
later Oh. For this purpose they took
into their confidence certain bazaar
dealers. who had access to the ladies'
quarters to sell their wares, and by
their aid succeeded in getting out all the
Jewels. packed to look like sweetineats.
These dealers and one Aga Kllorasani,
a Mahommedan merchant, were the de-
PENDANTS. They absolutely denied any
deposit of the kind, but the recorder
found against them on the facts and de-
cided that about three thousand precious
stones, which were specified by weight
and value in list made at the time in
the palace and retained ever since by
the Queen, had, in fact, been placed in
their charge Immediately prior to Min
doom Minis death. and in anticipation OF
that event. The Princess died few
months after. The Queen, her mother,
remained in prison until the British
troops occupied Mandalay in 1855, when
she WAS, Ol COu1SC, ICACcSCet. ALI uAAS
time she heard nothing Of the jewels,
for she had no opportunity Of doing so,
and obviously did not desire to have
them returned. The dealers with whom
they were deposited left Mandalay soon
after Thehaw began to reign; but on
her release the Queen inquired after
them and found them in Rangoon,
when, as already stated: she was met
by a blank denial that such jewels had
ever been deposited with them. But
here the Judge found against them,
largely on the evidence that nine years
ago, and three years after the deposit,
one of the defendants had in his pos
session large ruby cut in the shape OF
a wild duck, which was described in the
Queens list as having been handed over
to the defendants in the sweetmeat
boxes in 1878. a decree Of restitution
was therefore made against all the de-
PENDANTS except one, in regard to whom
the action was held barred by the
statute Of limitations. - J

The Diamond elevator at 9Th st. and
Central avenue, East Side, was burned
Wednesday afternoon between 1890
and O'Clock, with its contents, and a
loss of about SAC, 600, fully irsured. The
elevator was the property Of the Mime
apolis Grain & Feed Company, and the
chief members of the company are j. c..
Woodward and r. B. Godfrey. the for
mer of whom is now in Chicago on bus
ipess. The fire originated in the en-
zine room. and while there is some
mystery as to the exact cause, 1t IS be-
'ieved boiler burst and scattered the
contents of the fire box. That this the
DIV has foundation is shown by the
statement of Lou FOurnle, the head
bookkeeper, who saws he heard an ex-
plosion, and that immediately follow
ing it the office door leading into the
elevator was blown open with great
force. Mr.. Fournie had barely time to
lock the books and papers IN the vault
before the room was filled with smoke.
He was almost suffocated in getting
out.

On the ground floor sacking grain at
the time Of the explosion and before ne
could get out of the building the hair
was sipged off his head and face and
his bands very seriously burned. His
injuries will not result disastrously.
The elevator had been built for a
aumber of years, and was valued at
$50. 600. 1t was filed with hay, feed
oats, corn, buckwheat, corn meal and
-four to the value Of SIC, 900 more. The
loss is total, but the property and con-
tents are we'll insured, and Jones Nc

Der of the policies. LIZ the upper office
on the second floor, nothing was saved
except the type writing machine.
which the steDographer carried out.
MANY valuable papers in this room
were DESTROYED. The high wind from
the south made the fire difficult to man
age. but the depart ment did excellent
work, and what seems almost miracu
lous, save the france dwellings that
stood along side tine elevator. One OF
these was built against it THE fire was
SO hot and the wind SO strong that the
flames were driven across the ST. Paul
& Duluth tracks block from the eleva~
tor and several times jgnited the con-
tents of large wood yard chat lies just
north of tbs tracks. The trains were
compelled to quit running. Ibs wind
and the drv character Of tbs materials
among which the flames worked, made
the saving Of the building an impossl
bjlity, and in less than ten inmates at
ter the alarm came in from Smith &
Wymans' near by, the elevator roof
had FALLEN in.
