THE sTANwOOD FIRE.
successful EfOrts In Saving tho Town
Losses Amount to 028,1OO.


Losses Amount to o26,1OO.
The following particulars of the fire on
tuesday night at Stanwood, Snohomish
county, have been received:
The fire started in the stanwood hotel. two
story frame, 2ixes feet, with a one-story add
ton 1ox3o iect. Adjoining this was the two
story saloon building belonging to the hotel "a
xoo feet In size. Near this stood Armstrong;
nail, two-story building 31x6l feet. These
buildings covered the entire east half OF block
land belonged to J. II. Armstrong. About
eighty feet north OF Armstrong; hall stood the
Norwegian Lutheran church, and about seventy
feet further north the twostory general mer.
chandise store OF 0. X. Melby, and sixty feet
from the store was the Melby hotel Across the
street from tho Stanwood hotel stood the two
story general merchandise store of L. H. smith,
the tobacco and confectionery store of Charles
Hancock, the butcher shop owned by l. N. Sill,
and the blacksmith shop owned by John Haney
These buildings covered the entire west half Of
blocks. East OF Smiths store was the tele-
graph office, two-s,ory building
When the fire was discovered 1t had gained
such Roadway that it was apparent that without
better appliances to fight fire than was at hand
the hotel could not be saved, and all energies
were directed to save Armstrong; hall and the
Smith store, across the street. With but few
ladders and buckets the stanwood boys worked
intense, and at o'clock the hall caught fire.
stiff breeze was coming from the south and
drove the flames across the street and into the
church, which was soon In flames. At this
period strong hopes were entertained that
Melby's store might be saved. Ladders were
raised and bucket brigade formed. Those on
the roof did not quit their post until the build
Ing caught fire inside from the intense heat and
tongues of fame leaped from every window.
Then the Melby hotei caught FIRE, but at that
moment the wind veered a little to the west and
the boys with axes and crowbars tore of the
shingles ana siding on the burning building, and
the bucket company having found a new supply
OF water in slough near by, furnished water az
fast as the fire fighters could throw it, and the
building was saved
About the time Armstrong; hall fell the
Smith store caught fire and was burned. All
energies were then directed TO save the Miller d
Brown building, across Broadway, and the tele
graph building, and the fire was checked at
this point by the almost superhuman work of
the men. The log boom men, with their calked
boots, ran over the steep root on the charred
shingles and poured water wherever necessary.
The most singular spectacle was the bell tower
of the church standing charred skeleton with
its large bell, sixty feet from the ground, after
ell the other buildings burned had fallen. 1t,
too, finally fell The losses, approximately, as
pasr ss can he certained. are:

The New York Recorder Tries Its
Hand at Making One.
New YORK, Dec. ga Washington
special to the Recorder this morning
says: Mr. Cleveland has practically
determined upon four members OF his
cabinet. According to his present in-
tentions the next secretary of state will
be Edward j. Phelps, of Vermont; the
secretary of the treasury will be John
G. Carlisle, of Kentucky; William r..
MorrisoiL of Illinois, will preside over
the interior department., and j. Ran
dolph Tucker, Of Virginia, viii be at
torney general This Information comes
directly from ! the president-elect.
He has made formal tender of
only one position-that of secretary
of the treasury-but he has made
up his mind that If the other gen.
tlemen will accept the places he has
assigned to them. he will have them as
members OF his official family. MOrri-
son and Tucker, it is understood here,
will enter the cabinet if Mr.. Cleveland
desires it, but there is some doubt in
regard to the attitude of eX-Minister
Phelps, who would be compelled to
make considerable personal sacrifice in
assuming even the highest Office in the
gift of the president. Two other ap-
pointmen;s which Mr.. Cleveland has in
mind, althoughhe has not yet fully de-
termined upon them, are those OF Pat
rick A. Collins, for secretary OF war, and
eX-Gov. Porter, of Tennessee, for one of
the minor cabinet positions. Mr.. Porter
was assistant secretary of state under
the previous Cleveland administration.
but resigned on account of quarrel
with Secretary Bayard. He has always
been fayorite with the president-elect.

sPRINGER's PLAN
For the Election OF President and
Vice President

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-"The electoral
college, as it now stands, isa miserable
fraud,' said Representative Springer to-
day, "and the idea that all the votes in
the electoral college from great state
like New York should go to one party
by matter of a hundred or two hun
dred votes is great fraud upon the
electors of the country. Some Of the
newspapers misapprehend the PROPOSE
ton which | submitted on this.subject.
The popular vote contemplated is con-
fined to each state. The states will
have the same number of electoral
votes that they now have in the election
of president and vice president. There
will be no persons running as can
didates for electors, but the elect
oral vote of each state will be
apportioned among the several
candidates according to the number of
popular votes each receives In that state,
the odd votes going to the candidates
having the large fractions. This will
prevent the vicious practice of gerry
Wandering and gives exact weight to
the popular vote which each candidate
receives in the state. 1t will nationalize
the presidential election, and render
contests for the succession next to i'm
possible. Politically it would give effect
10 the popular will. limited only by the
just representation to which each state
is entitled in the electoral college, and
would not spread large majorities in one
locality beyond the limits of the state.
Besides it would make vote buying in
effectual, and therefore imperative"
Mr.. Springer said that the proposition
seemed to be growing in favor. and was
certainly attracting great deal of in

SAVED By A JUMP.
Misunderstanding, Hair-Breadth
ESCape of q Drug Clerk.

Record d-Breaking, Hair-Breadth
Escape OF a Drug Clerk.
CHICAGO. Dec. 23.-CharIes Griggs, a
drug clerk, was taken to his home in
Keokuk, Iowa, last night, suffering
from the terrific nervous shock of a
record breaking, hair-breadth escape.
He was struck by the Milwaukee limit
ed train ON the Northwestern ROAD,
travelling at the rate of forty-tve miles
an hour, and carried six miles on the
pilot of the locomotive in an uncon-
scious condition. Though black and
blue with bruises, not a bone IN his body
was broken. MIR. Griggs was crossing
the Northwestern track at Wilson ave-
hue when the limited, which leaves
Chicago at 7:30 p. M, whirled In sight
simultaneously with suburban pas
senger train going rapidly in an oppo-
site direction. Griggs was beWildered.
rails. With only the hope of delaying
impending death, Griggs jumped
straight into the air. He was struck by
the front of the engine and dropped
half stunned on the pilot, his hands
inStinctiyely clutching the braces.
None of the train men saw the acci-
dent, and it was not until the limited
reached South Evanston the mans dam
gerous situation was discovered. He
was still unconscious, his hands gripped
to the braces on the pilot with superhu-
man strength. To the surprise of every
one, it was found that not bone had
been fractured or even wrenched. The
hair on the right side of his head was
somewhat scorched as a result of con-
tact with the boiler.
II jumped, struck the engine, and
then everything became black, said Mr.
Griggs. 81 don't remember taking hold
of the braces of the pilot, but l must
have done so instinctively and kept
hanging on. If | had let go would
have certainly rolled off and been
killed.
The doctors fear he will never recover
from the shock.
