SCHOCH'S sCORCHED.
The Big Grocery Block Dam
aged by Fire and
Water.
Loss Somewhere about $780,
900, Fully In
Sured.

At 1915 this morning smoke was seen
issuing from the rear door OF the An
drew Schoch Grocery company, at the
corner of Seventh street and Broadway.
Patr0lman Perro turned in an alarm,
and as soon as Chief Jackson arrived
a general alarm was sent in.
The fire is supposed to have
started in the basement at the bottom
of the freight elevator shaft in the rear
of the building. The flames rushed up
the elevator, and in fifteen minutes the
store rooms, which occupied the
fourth and part of J the fifth
floors, were mass of flames.
The floors mentioned were stored with
an assortment of canned goods and
fancy groceries, and burned like finder.
The tiremen worked with a will, and
soon had six streams OF water pouring
into the upper stories of the building
The water tower was the right thing i'll
the right place. and but for this the
building would have been Quilted. AT 2
o'clock the flames were under control,
and while tile fifth and fourth floors
were burned out, the fire was confined
to these two stories.
The grocery company occupied the
first, fourth and fifth floors, and the
second and third floors were occupied
by building society offices. The offices
were flooded with water, but the con-
tents were not materially damaged.
Andrew. Schoch said the stock was
valued at about S37, and the loss, he
thought, would be about two-thirds of
that amount. The insurance on the
stock was $4,000, nearly all i'll foreign
companies, and the greater part in
companies represented. by II. b. Con-
stans. The building was insured for
$4,000. The insurance, he said, would
cover all losses.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. - Senator
Davis, with the laurel wreath Of victory
cooked over one eye and breathing
VENGEANCE out of both nostrls, is back.
He arrived last night, and made his first
appearance in public this afternoon. AS
he entered the senate chamber and
went into the cloak room his colleagues
rose and followed him and congrat-
ulated him on his very narrow escape.
Then they questioned to learn the
why and wherefore of his failure to
secure the unanimous vote of his party.
He had expected to receive that vote
when he left here for the field of battle.
and led others to expect the same thing.
That he should pull through by no
more than one poor vote, and that
by strategy, surprised them one
and all. He told them why, and he
didn't mince matters in decar-
ing that his supposed friends had
played him false. Moreover, he declared
that they had used money to defeat him,
and further, they did everything in Their
power to rob him of what he believed
was justly his, a reelection. "HOw
much did it cost you, DaSis?" some one
asked him. ELEVEN hundred dol

Davis, and he looked hard at his
queStioners and the rest around him.
They kept their features Intact while lie
looked. but when he turned away their
features relaxed into a smile, and, look
ing at one another, they wiuked the
other eye. These words Davis Gid not

that he had nauSht but

talked SO freely to his colleagues
as to give them the impression
that he had no desire. for secrecy.
SO they talked and right willingly. One
of them after repeating the above added
that Davis had it in for eX-Gov, Merriam
in particular. He looks upon Merriam

about all the vengeance he wants
on Merriam he will wreak little on
Lieut.. Gov. Clough, and then turn upon
the minor conSpirators. He will let
knute Nelson alone, not because he is
afraid of the governor, but because he
believes him guillless OF false play.
But, he'll have enough to keep
busy without Nelson," said the
GLOBE correspondent informant,
land the next national administration
will find that four years hence he will
not have more than punished very
small number of his false friends, and
by that time his anger will, l fancy,

the fight has been hard one-so hard,
he declared this afternoon. that, could
he have foreseen it, he would not have
entered the fight.

had a conference today with Hon. w. G.
Whitney on the situation in Montana.
There is trouble among the Democrats
of the Silver state which threatens to
lose the party senator.
Senator German is confident that the
Democrats will organize the senate
even if the troubles in Montana
are not settled, but he wants
a Democrat elected from the
state just the same. The situation in
Montana has been the subject of several
previous conferences between Demo
cratic leaders and it was thought at one
time that the trouble there was settled,
but it has broken out again since the
legislature met. Senator German and
Mr.. Whitney will communicate with the
party leaders in Montana. and if the
troubles there cannot be settled by cor
respondence, some one may be sent out
to see if the factions within the party
cannot be united.
