MILWAUKEE'S BIG BLAZE
-FOUR LIVES LOST AND FOUR PER
SONS INJURED.

The Monetary Loss S6,oOo,Ooo.
Thirteen Blocks of Business Houses
and Residences in Ashes, over 300
Buildings in AL-Two of the Dead
Firemen Who We're Caught Under
Falling Wall.
MILWAUKEE,, Oct. 29.-Last nights fire,
which was caused by the explosion Of an oil
barrel in the store occupied by the Union
Oh Company at No. 275 East Water street,
destroyed thirteen blocks Of business houses
and residences, over 800 buildings in all.
The loss in money is Sc, ,O0O, 600 The fire is
under control, but the ruins in places are
burning fercely, and il will be several
days before tue last spark OF the fire is ex-
tinguished. The Insurance on business
houses amounts to So, ,S25. 900.
It is known that four lives were lost and
four people seriously injured. The dead are:
Henry Peddsnbroch,a "a fireman, of So Reed
street.
Charles Stable, fireman, of $50 Fourth
street.
An unknown woman about go years old.
Mrs. Kaladan, fro n the effects OF the
shock after being taken to the Third ward
school.
Henry Peddenbroch and Charles Stable,
the flremen who we're killed, met death in
an alley in the rear Of East Water street,
where the walls of Waisel Sc Vilter's ma
chine shops fell Both men were at worI&
in the rear of the building, and when the
crash oame they we're buried under the fall
ing walls Several flremen ereInjured, and
also one member of the life saving crew.
Several insurance men intimated that the
insurance companies would suffer at least
100000 by the fire. Some of the leading
ones also estimate that some of the small
companies will be badly crippled.
Fully 5000 people are made homeless by
the terrible conhagration. This is a very
oonser vative estimate to place on the num-
Der who found themselves in the street lest
night compelled to Sc shelter under the
roots of hospitable citizens who threw their
doors open to them. The greater portion Of
the loss has fallen upon people who are
unable TO bear it and who carried no in
surancs. Hundreds Of families have lost
everything they had in the world and do
not know where to sleep tonight. The
wealthier portion OF the people are coming
to their relief.
THE FIRE ENGINES DELAYED.
When the fire broke out IN the store OF
the oil company majority OF the gines
Of the fire department were at work in
other parts Of the city. there being at the
time three separate fires burning ia differ
ent parts or the city. These fires were con-
psratively Insignificant IL themselves, uut
the engines were delayed so long that it was
fully twenty minutes after the first oil bar
rel had exploded before the first engiue
came rattling up, and it was forty minutes
before suiicenS force was on hand and
few minutes later the flames were frolickiug
with Dohmer & Co.'s large stock of oil and
alcohol, and Budd & Kip's story uphol-
stering building. By this time the con-
hagratiou p beyond all control.
Following is an estimate OF the losses on

perhaps, larger number Of visitors IN
Charleston at any ono time in the history

committee of prominent citizens. AS soon
as thu distinguished visitor was driven into
town a procession Of about 6,000 people
paraded tho principal streets to the square
south of tho state house, where q Speakers
stand had bean erected. Gen. Stevenson
was greeted with deatening cheers aud
waving Of haudksrchiefs. He merely dis
cussed the tariff question.
THE FORCE BILL.
Referring to the force bill aud the claim
by the republicans that it is dead issue, he
said that while speakers SOU ID OF Mason and
Dxon's line did not refer to it except to
deny that it was the intention OF the Re-
publican party 10 support suoh a bill, in
the north 1t was openly advocated. He re-
terred to the burdens placed upon the peo-
pie south by the oarpet-baggers during the
reconstruction period ana said the enact
ment of such law as contemplated BY the
force bill would result in q return to snoh u

GAS an illustration of some of the
work resorted to to return Jones as
elected, it is only necessary to review
the course of the Bourbon managers
in Dallas county, where, in the city
of Selma, there are but /, 900 voters.
The returns show 213 for Kolb and
1920 for Jones, while SIS men swear
they voted for Kolb.
''In Boykin's Beat only twenty-five
votes were polled. The managers
returned III for Jones. In Browns
Beat only thirty-two voted. Returns
show Kolb II and Jones 1913. At
Liberty Hill Beat, Kolb voters cast
thirty-two ballots, and Jones voters
thirty-three, yet the returns show
300 for Jones and none for Kolb. In
MitchelPs Beat only thirty votes
were polled. The returns show IL
for Kolb and 435 for Jones.
"In Orville Beat, where only fifty
votes were cast, the returns show
400 for Jones. In Portland Beat
only twenty votes were polled. The
returns show 800 for Jones. In
Martins Beat, where thirty votes
were polled, the returns show that
Jones has 740 and Kolb none. In
Brownsville Beat where Kolb receiv.
ed 338 and Jones eleven, the Jones
managers certify 338 for Jones and
II for Kolb. These are some of the
voting precincts IN Dallas county,
which county was entirely under the
Jones managers and supervisors, and
gives Jones nearly 5000 majority.

lied their meetings at the various precincts.
and few days ago arranged for quiet little
family gatherings for the election Of Hill

from the knowledge of any but the elect.
THE TINS found out and exposed the pro-

came too late to reach all the Democrats Of

Of the machine. it did some good, and the

THE Louisville Courer-Journal Of April ID
devotes the whole of its editional space to a
discussion of the character and services of
Thomas Jefferson in reply to the attacks
which have been made upon him both by the
notorious MacMaster and Henry Adams
Summing up the career of this great states
man, it says with great happiness:
1t is difficult to fairly weigh and compare
Jeffersons services 10 mankind and to- the
people Of these States. and say which act is
the most far-reaching IN its Influences In
the Declaration of independence he carved
in granite the creed of liberty. In the North
western ordinance ne made inevitable the ab-
clifton OF slavery on this continent. In the
statutes of Virginia he freed men from the
power of caste. precedents and superstition.
and in the acquisition of Louisiana he fixed
on immovable foundation IA continental -e-
public. and gave TO the inhabitants thereof n
commercial dominion which grows with every
passing year.
The Courier-Journal might have added that
in the system Of education which MIR. Jeffer-
son inaugurated at the University of Virginia
he il not less entitled to the gratitude of Amer
lean citizens than he is on the score of the
great acts enumerated by our contemporary.
