to-day at .4.30 in the factory of the
Spokane Mill Company, on The river
front. The flames spread with wonderful
rapidity, ADD in few minutes the entire
structure was ablaze. The employees had
to run for their lives, and three of them
were injured 10 lsaping from the build

Ing, and it is feared they perished In the

injured men were Anorew johnson, who
suffered a lrighttul fracture of the leg;
William Genwood, whose leg was badly
sprained, and James Smith, badly burn
ed on the hands. In spite of the efforts
OF the fire department the flames quickly
spread to the Echo roller mills, owned by
Brsvender & Keats, which were entirely
consumed. The fire then jumped the riv

by Olney & Adams, and the building of
the Washington Shingle Company. Il

Supposed Suicide.

Mr.. w. A. Allen, who has been confined
found dead near his residence on Five Mile
creek last Saturday with his throat cut. He
was an old gentleman, and aged about 20
years. Mr.. Allen had received good edu-
cation, and was highly respected and in.
telligent citizen. Three years ago, during
the dry season, his crops failed, and he has
been heavily in debt ever since. Some time
ago his eyesignt failedand for the past year,
he has been nearly totally blind. 1t is pre-
sumed these misfortunes so preyed upon
his mind that his reason became dethroned,
and it is copjeetured that last night in fit
of insanity he wandered from his house and
ended his existence in the manner indicated
Last Thursday Dr. Eshelman visited him,
and found him suffering from several con-
tusions In the head. He dressed the wounds
and applied the usual medical remedies.
Two of his grown daughters waited on him
during his sickness, and on questioning
them they assured the doctor that they had
not left his bedside for over five minutes at
any time, for he required close attention,
being periodically very delirious. He was
rational at the time of the visit. and sug-
gested to the doctor himself that perhaps
he had been struck by the smoothing iron
which was kept at his feet. From these
facts it is fair to draw the conclusion that
during period of mental alteration he had
inflicted the wound on his head himself,
and that his death resulted last night by his
own hands. during fit of temporary
insanity. Justice Schultz left this morning
for the scene Of the tragedy, for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining the full facts, and hold
ing an inquest if deemed necessary. Mr..
Allen has three grown daughters and one
son, who arrived in the city last night, be-
ing telegraphed for on account of his faith
er's serious illness. He was member of
the Adventist church, and always bore
good reputation in the neighborhood in
which he lived.

The Occur d,Alene Miners.

WALLACE, Idaho, May 2O.--Matters
are decidedly quiet in the Ceur d'Alenes
to day. Rumors are current here that
compromise may be effected. This
matter has even progressed so far that
several members of the association have
held secret conference with President
O'Brien, of the miners union. Nothing,
however, was accomplished, although the
meeting evidently has significant
meaning. The miners are conducting
themselves like gentlemen.

snow Increases the Misery

Sioux CITY, Ia, May 20-The bad
weather has greatly complicated the task
before the city. Rain began falling at
Z o'clock this morning; and at 10 there
was perfect blizzard, high wind with
snow. 1t has been showing and slee,ing
since. Men quit work on the streets in
the middle of the forenoon, although 50 a
day was offered. The Floyd river is
stlll very high, and has not fallen since
last evening. The cold weather caused
many again to apply for aid. Women
and children who wonId return to their
homes are compelled to seek shelter in
warmer places. The railroads are making
efforts to clear the wreCkage, but is slow
work.

The Worst Is Over.

ST. LOUIS, May 21.-It is almost i'm
possible to give an adequate estimate OF
the loss by the food In the Mississippi
bottoms. A single instance, however,
will illustrate the seriousness of the sit
uation. Of all the land under water, at
least 100000 acres In wheat, which, at a
conservative estimate, considering the
fact no crop can be raised this year,
means not less than 100000 bushels OF
wheat lost. In addition 10 this homes
have been wrecked, cattle have been
drowned and lakes and ponds formed
where the lands were dry for gears. This
renders what was formerly valuable land
worthless. Over 100 flour mills are
affected more or less In the flooded dis
tricts; farm laborers are out of work for
the season, as well as mlllmen, and so
the tale of woe increases. One unfortu-
nate occurrence to day was the sinking
of some two feet of trestlework on the
new Merchants bridge half mile east of
the bridge proper. This will soon be re-
paired and business over that route re-
sumed. The water in Caboki creek has
ia len SIX inches, and III many of the
flooded districts the waters are beginning
to recede. Reports from sections ada
cent to East St. Louis are more favorable
The railways have not yet begun using
their recently aband ned tracks. In
North St. Louis the backwater caused
many sewers to burst and the health OF
the residents of that section is in danger
unless there is speedy relief. All danger
of coal famine Is said to be past.

HARDON THE ROCKS
The Steamer "City of Chicago"
Is Ashore
ON THE REEFS OF OLD KINSALE
All the Passengers Sent OF in Safety
Tugs Go to Her Assistance and
She VIII Be Relieved.

QUEENSTOWN, July 1.-The Inman
steamer City of Chicago. from New
York June % for Liverpool, went
ashore at p. m. in sight Of Kinsal,
about twelve miles southwest of this
port. Tugs have been sent 10 her as
sistsnce. Reports from the scene Of
the accident state that the passengers
are being landed.
The place where the City of Chicago
grounded this afternoon Is near Old
Kinsale head and is at the foot of q
promontory, which forms sort of ma
tural harbor and jutting out into the
sea is dangerous point, but one which
can readily be avoided by steamers on
the way to Queenstown IN clear
weather, but in time OF fog Is pecu-
harly dangerous. 1t is reasonable why
there is strong movement to change
the calling place of Atlantic steamers
from Queenstown to Bantry Bay, thus
making 1t no longer necessary for the
steamers to hug dangerous coast in

in fog. When 1t was evident that the
City Of Chicago was fastened on the
rocks so that she could not proceed, the
chief officer entered q small boat and
landed at the old head of Kin
sale. There he telegraphed TO
Queenstown stating the situation.
Cummings Bros, the local agents of the
Inman line at Queenstown at once sent
tug boats 10 make efforts to render
what assistance was necessary. The
fore compartment was found to be fill
cd with water, showing the steamship
had suffered injury TO its hull, which is
not to be wondered at as some
of the submerged rocks in that
vicinity are known to be jagged
and pointed. When it became short
time steps were taken to land the mails
and the passengers. The passengers
we're taken ashore in small boats,
women and children being given pri-
ority, although there was manifestly
no peril IN remaining. No effort was
spared 10 make the passengers as COM
Portable IA possible From the position
of the vessel there are fears that it may
not be gotten off the rocks withot being
lightered considerably, and perhaps
even dismantled.
