Evening.
The Hotel Behler narrowly escaped
being seriously scorched, last evening.
About half-past eight o'clock, strong
odor Of wood smoke was noticed In the
rear portion Of the hotel, devoted to the
use Of the help, and an investigation
resulted in the discovery that tlre was
burning briskly in large closet In
roorS on the second floor, occupied by
some of the servant girls. The en-
ployes Of the hotel endeayored 10 hold
the fire in check, while messenger ran
TO box Of, at the corner OF Main ana
Twelfth streets, and pulled 1t. There
was no response, howeVe, and the chem
ical had to be summoned by telephone.
The boys of that company were soon on
the scene, and after hard little tight,
got the better Of the fire, but not until
a considerable amount Of the interior
wood work had been cut away, as the
flames had eaten their way up through
the stud partition, and would soon nave
been beyond immediate control. AS IT
is, the loss will probably not amount 10
over one hundred dollars.
The origin of the fire is little uncer.
tain, but the most plausible theory Is
that the girls were dressing In the room,
and taking light into the closet, ignit-
ed some of the clothing hanging about,
and closed the door again without MOTTO
ing it.
The presence of the firemen naturally
excited good deal OF alarm about the
hotel and its immediate vicinity, but the
fact Of the fire was not known up town.
as the big bell did not ring, and none OF
the other companies were called out.
An investigation of box %, after the
fire, showed that the internal mechan-
ism had been burned out, presumably
by the alarm wire being crossed by an
electric light wire, or else by lightning:
Chief Healy will have the box repaired
at once, as it is in location where
fire means a big loss, as rule.

ito n was djs,acted, the cracker ex-
ploded with sbat violence. The force
OF the exploslh com pletJy stripped the
flesh from tbelower half OF the middle
finger of lis right hand, and
lacerated ths6ngers next 60 1t, as we'll
as the palm Il hand between the first

The following communication was re-

To the Editor: Of all the mean, con-
temptibIe. Scurrilous articles ever writ
ten, the one in the Pioneer Press of
Dec. 1.,,headed Justly Rebuked," is the
most despicable. Let the man who
wrote that article make a visit to st.
Anthony hill and talk with the citizens
there and learn how they feel. All the
ladies are frightened, not for their own
safety entirely, but for their fathers,
husbands and brothers. If any one of a
family is out after dark the rest of the
family are nearly crazy. The fact is,
they have no confidence in the police.
nor will they ever have until the present
police power is changed. Instead Of st.
Paul having the best police power at
present, it is the Very worst it eve had,
the Pioneer Press to the contrary not

went in for a reform mayor and council,
and a pretty mess they have made Of it.
If an election were 10 occur tomorrow,

truth, and shame the city authorities
with the contempt they SO truly de
