Minneapolis Losers.

There was a report in Minneapolis
that ex-Mayor Winston is large loser
in the fire at Virginia. The report is
pronounced incorrect by those IL posi-
ton to know. Mr.. Winston has some
large interests in the new place. but
they are in land. and he had done no
building there of any extent or i'm
portance.
Among the losers in the fire at Merritt
is said to be P. j. McGarry, we'll known
in this city, and i'll the Duluth and
Northern Wisconsin districts, as hotel
proprietor. he had built new and
handsome hotel at Merritt, of which
town he was one of the founders in con-
nection with Lon Merritt, of the recent
legislature. after whom Mr.. McGarry
named the town. Mr.. McGarry was
formerly also connected with the Hotel
Pokegama at Grand Rapids. which.
owned by parties in Minneapolis, was
recently burned.

James Mccarthy, an actor, who had
been playing at the Star theater. He
was accompanied by his wife and lit
tie child.
"1he fire had been burning about
Virginia for several days." he said. "but
no one else seemed to worry so we did
not. Saturday night we were called
out to light the fire, but it was easily
COTTON under control. Yesterday mOrn-
ing it was worse, and the town was al
most surrounded by fire. About o'clock
the wind, which had been rising
all morning, began to blow per-
feet gale, and houses on the edge of the
town began to burn. People went mad.
They attempted at first to save every
thing, and began moving furniture.
Then they tried to save lighter articles.
but as the fire grew fiercer they were
glad to save ANYTHING and escape with
their lives. The town burned like tin
der. The light frame buildings were
like so much paper. The whole town
was in ruins in less than an hour. The
terrified people gathered about the
MiSSaba depot, where the officers OF the
road were doing
Everything for Their Safety.
A train of ore cars was backed into
the way down we came through lane
of fire."
A second train bearing refugees from
the burned district arrived here at noon
bearing nearly 200 people. Advices
from Virginia are to the effect that only
ten houses escaped the flames. Vir-
ginia was village Of $500 Inhabitants.
1t is impossible at this time to secure an
estimate of the loss. The city was just
completing an electric plant, and this.
too, is a total loss. Mountain Iron was
not 50 badly damaged as at first feared.
So far as known only the Methodist
church and half dozen houses were
burned.
There are numerous fatalities and in
iurieS reported at Mesaba. but no deaths
have as yet been verified. Ed Kelly
and Ida Vurth, a song and dance team,
who were playing at one of the Mer-
ritt theaters, went back to the thea
ter to recover their wardrobe when
they were cut off from all means of
escape, except by the lake, and it is
feared that they were either burned or
drowned. A young woman, whose
name has not yet been learned, went
back into her burning house to get her
babe, and probably periShed with the
infant, as they have not been seen
since.
A laborer named Murphy was so bad
ly burned about the face and neck tnat
it was thought foolish to bring him to
this city, so critical was his condition.
Lena Hobenstein. woman twenty
nine years of age. who was suffering
from typhoid fever, was brought here
on stretcher, as was also a middle
aged man suffering from the same
malady.
A young mother with a severe attack
of rheumatism was taken to the hos
Dital.

This is asserted on the authority of DR..
John Wesley Gibbs, who treated Mr..
Cleveland two years ago for the same
disease Professional etiquette forbade
the doctor from saying he would admin
lister the treatment. He will, however,
for he is said to be the only American
practitioner using the system. which
gave Bismarck new lease of life seven
years ago.

Special to the Globe.

Came to the Conclusion

that the theater building was unsafe
while the excavation work was going
on, and therefore OIL the day before the
catastrophe asked and obtained five
days leave. When he concluded his
testimony the jury retired to consider
its verdict.
After being out two hours the jury
returned verdict setting forth that
Frederick K. Lotus came TO his death
by the disaster at Ford's theater build
ing on June o. 1893. They recite the
fact that George w. Dant was the con-
tractor under the government for the
WORK IN progress which caused the dis
aSter and all the circumstances con-
nected with the accident, and find that
Frederick &. Ainsworth, III charge or
the building; William q. Covert, the
superintendent; Francis Sasse, the
engineer, and George w. Dant, the con-
tractor, are responsible for the killing
of Lotus. The jurors further find that
the failure of the government of the
United States to provide for skilled
superintendent of the work OF repair
and alteration of its buildings in charge
of the war department is most unbusi-
ness-lke and reprehensible, and are OF
the opinion that If such superlntend-
ence had been provided in the case OK
the work on the Ford'S theater build
ing the awful tragedy might have been
ayerted. Coroner Patterson decided not
TO issue warrants for the eommitment
of Col. Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and
Sasse until tomorrow morning, In order
to give them an opportunity OF obtain
ing bail. Col. AinsWorth has already
secured a bondsman. Contractor Dana
is very Ill at his residence.

From the Southern Tourist
Among the many places Of interest which

historic IN its character, or Of which so
much has been spoken and written, as An

prison, and the national cemetery in which
lie the remains OF over Is 600 union sol

nothing but a stockade inclosing thirty

upon which were mounted small fixed
pieces, show where once were the gates

down into the hard red clay for shelter, and

which bursts forth just on the edge of the
