JOE JEFFERSON'S LOSS.
His Beautiful Home at Buzzard's bay
Destroyed by Fire.


BUzzARD's BAY, Mass, April Fire
this afternoon totally destroyed Crows
Nest, the beautiful summer residence of
Joe Jefferson, situated on the shores of
Buttermilk Bay. The cook, Helen Nc
Grath, persisted in the ruins. Miss Sim
mOnds, the hOusekeeper, Miss Collins,
the maid, and Miss McGrath were in the
cellar at noon when Miss McGrath dis
covered what she supposed was water
covering the floor. She called the hired
man, Mr.. Wright, who saw at once that
it was oil from the gasoline tank. He
shouted to the women to flee for their
lives, but they stood dumbfOunded.
The gas communicated with the fire in
the furnace and in an instant there was
a terrific explosion. Wright caught
Miss Simmonds and Miss Collins and
fought his way to the open air. He en-
deavored to return for Miss McGrath
when he was met with binding sheet
of flame. Burned and bleeding, he he
roically tried to gain admittance, but
was unsuccessful and the unfortunate
woman was left to perish.
When the cry of fire was raised Mrs.
Jefferson, who was i'll in bed, hastily
arose and fed, not stopping to dress.
Willing hands covered her with buffalo
robes, and she was at once removed to
the home of Station Agent Bassett. She
had suffered a severe nervous shock
and medical attendance was summoned.
1t is estimated that Sl50,000 worth of
paintings were consumed and that the
total loss will be S250,00O. Mr. Jeffer-
son is en- route to California and word
has been sent to him. The house,
which was erected three years ago, was
designed by the actor himself. 1t stood
on high bluff overlooking Buttermilk
Bay and was model of modern archi-
lecture. The report of the fire spread
rapidly and over 1000 people were on
special police is on duty tonight watch
ing the fire and guarding the property.

favor of Miss Clark.
The shooting took place on the side
walk, in the presence Of Miss Clark s
roommate, in whose presence only the
young lady would meet her admirer.
The screams of the terror-stricken wit
ness of the double tragedy followed the
death-dealing reports of the re-

to-day another mine horror occurred
just at the outskirts OF this city. The
mine is known as Laurel Hill and is
operated by Pardee Bros. The nature
of the accident was almost a repetition
of the JeanesvilIe disaster Of two years
ago, when eighteen men were drowned
1t was reported that the water standing
in the Sugar Loaf mine had burst into
the Laurel Hill, and a cavern had fol-
lowed. About S00men are employed III
this mine
The effect produced by the report of
the accident was electrifying. In less
than five minutes 1000 people were
hurrying to the scene Of the disaster.
Among the first to arrive was Frank
Pardee, one Of the operators. His in
tention of descending the Inflated mine
was barely announced when twenty
miners stepped forward to accompany
him. They were at once lowered into
the pit, and when the carriage returned
Mine Supt. Durkin headed ten more
rescuers who boarded it and were i'm
mediately dropped into the 1atefU
shaft.
The mineis now working the sixth lift
with the seventh in progress of sinking
The fifth lift is the point where the &C
cident occurred, and is over 600 yards
below the surface. Although the en-
giGes were taxed to their greatest run
ming velocity the moments required for
the mine cage to pass to and from the
fifth Eft seemed like hours to the thou
sands Of anxious friends and relatives
who had congregated about the mouth
of the slope.
Supt Uurkin and his band of res
cuers had barely reached the bottom
when the signal to hoist again was Civ
en-. 1t bad on board three excited
miners. These three men had been
caught b. the tremendous rush of water
and were carried by it to the foot of the
slC0e. They sustained serious inluTIe
caused by being Knocked against tim
bers. They were speedily conveyed to
their homes.
Tie first authentic information of the
disaster was then made known and
proved source of great relief to the

morning to hear the decisions of Judges
Kicks and Taft in the two cases growing
out of the Ann Arbor Railway strike.
Judge Kicks decision in the case of the

as radical as the men feared and does
not assume to compel men to work
against their wills. Notice of appeal
was at once given by Mr.. Hurd.
After Judge Kicks decision was rem

fremen, he proceeded to read the de-
cision of the circuit court, composed of
himself and Judge Taft, in the motion
of the Ann ArbOr Company asking a
temporary injunction against Chief Ar
