the unfortunate people in the river The
heat was most intense and many of the
men in t water were compelled to duck
their heads under the water to prevent
the flames from scorching their faces and
heads. One brave fellow stripped himself,
and unaided brought a number of his
neighbors across the river before the fiat
boat arrived, when all were rescued.
1t was gallant fight that was made at
the brewery. Away down at Jne north
west corner of the building, within 800
feet Of blazing lumber pile, erouched
pipeman from Company IS. The heat was
almost intolerable but this brave fellow
remained faithful and directed powerful
stream Of water into the fiery furnace, and
in great measure prevented the rear Of
the brewery from taking fire. This is only
one OF the instances of individual heroism.
The flames kept on their way and were not
subdued much until they had reached Six

men and citizens combined managed to
stop the flames to a certain extent.
Thirteenth avenue northeast should
have marked the northern limit of the

not a small whirlwind, as it was called,

embers from Backus' lumber yard over
the surrounding property. As it was, the
property burned was mostly small struc-
lures near the river. Nevertheless, they
were homes; homes of poor men who could
afford no better and who lost their all
when they were burned. All the avail
able fire apparatus in the city was in use
and st. Paul sent two engine companies in
response to calls for assistance.
Relief, and that prompt, will he needed

matter will receive attention today. The

6O,0O0OOO feet of lumber, worth S75O,00O
alone and that this is total loss. Their
mills are also gone, and these they claim
were worth at least S25o, 600. 1t is impos-
sible to learn their insurance at present,

It is not given to every man to live in

limited means do not decline to live In
a cottage; and by parity of reasoning,
while tits not within the means Of all to
carry Ten or Twenty Thousand dollars
Of Insurance, people Of more limited
means will find it equally to their advan-
tage to partake of such smaller sums
as may be within their reach
Thus, when man is married and has
q family around him, it is source Of
pleasure to own absolutely the house in
which they reside, but it is obvious that
every one cannot own his abode, and just
here, one of the many advantages to
which the Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company's Trust Policies can be put
presents itself
Suppose man aged 30 years resides
in a house, the rent of which is 5000 per
year, if he has not the means to buy the
same. payment to the Union Mutual of
$75 per year-less than one dollar and a
half per week-would secure the neces-
sary 5000 for rent for period extending
% years subsequent to his death, thereby
relieving him of all care and anxiety in
cident to the maintenance of roof over
the heads of his wife and children, should
he be prematurely removed.
The thousand and one ways in which
the Trust Policies of the Union Mutual
can be utilized, preclude -for want of
of space-even their bare mention.
An Insurance journal in a recent issue
said 80 There are so many various plans
for life insuring, that no doubt it would
puzzle the most competent actuary or
experienced life insurance canvasser to
decide which would be exactly the best
one for the insured. However, the I'm

Important Cases Before the Supreme

CALAIS, April 29-An important case
in equity, Murchie VS.. Eaton, involving
the rights of water at the upper dam,
Midtown, is to be heard before Judge
Haskell next week. This case was tried
in 1886. The ,Murchies sued for dam
ages, won hescase and were awarded
$1,000. Subsequently an injunction was
secured, and bill in equity filed; then
followed a second injunction, giving
them the right to the works. The Ea-
tons now move for the. dissolution of the
injunction. The Murchies have secured
the services of Hon. George A. Curran
and A. McNichol of Calais to defend
them, and the cations have quite an ar
ray of legal talent, Judge Symonds of
Portland, together with Harvey 6 Card
ner, Hon. L. G. Downes and Hon. Geo.

be an interesting hearing.
