The conference of the governors at AL

Andrew, of Massachusetts,, and personal In

unswcrvingly. He left the gubernatorial

FATAL FIRE AT DETROIT.

DETROIT, Oct. 6.-Six men are dead, ten
are more or less severely injured, and $780,
900 worth of property was destroyed by the
burning of keenan, & Jahn's flve-story
furniture establishment on Woodward
avenue. The dead, all of whose bodies
have been recovered from the ruins, are:
Michael II. Donoghuc, lieutenant of chem
ical engine company; J. r. DEFY, John
W. Pagel, Julius Cummings. and Martin
Ball, pipemen; Frederick Bussey, cleo
trical worker and substitute fireman.
The injured: Frank l.. Stocks, fireman,
head and face frightfully cut; Michael c.
Gray, fireman, scalp wounds, back and
arm hurt; John b. Newell truckman,
scalp cut, arm and leg bruised; Thomas
G. Garry, fireman, scalp badly wounded,
severe body bruises; Patrick j. Rourke,
lieutenant engine company, slightly in
jured; Il. Cronin, pipeman, slightly hurt;
Leslie X. Mcnamara, fireman, head cut,
hand smashed and minor injuries; Henry
Kimberly, fireman, scalp and arms
wounded; Henry Herig, fireman, leg
broken, face cut; Fred Draheim, injured
internally, condition critical.
The fire apparently originated at the
bottom Of the elevator shaft and swept
upward with tremendous swiftness. About
sixty five persons were at work in the
manufacturing portion of the building in
the upper stories, but all escaped unhurt.
The water supply seemed at first made
quate and the building was soon ruined.
After the interior of the structure had
been partially burned out 1t became ap-
parent that the front and rear walls were
in danger Of falling, but Fire Chief ELI
oft permitted his men to advance with
their hose as close as possible, both from
front and rear. Suddenly the front wall
sagged forward and the great mass
of hot bricks, timber and iron crashed to
the sidewalk with tremendous roar.
Almost at the same instant the rear wall
crumbled and fell into the alley at the
rear. Above the tumult of the panic
stricken crowd rose the shrieks of the
wounded and imprisoned firemen. Sixteen
in all were in the path of the tumbling
walls, and all were caught, but ten es-
capped alive after few seconds of thrilling
experiences. Their comrades worked to
rescue the dying and remains of the dead
in the hot ruins amid binding smoke,
and all were recovered, but none of the
six had survived, and their limp and
crushed remains were in some cases almost
unacceptable.
Chief Elliott is being roundly scored for
risking the lives of his men when, it is
claimed, there was no call for such an
action. He said they had no reason to be-
lieve the walls were unsafe. The walls of
the building are alleged to have been un-
safe. An investigation will probably be
held

with his family by his bedside. DIR.
Holmes returned from Beverly Farms
about ten days ago, and the removal
greatly fatigued him and, it is thought,
fastened his end. The family residence
was in darkness and apparently deserted
yesterday, and few knew that DIR. Holmes
was in Boston. The news of his death
was kept quiet until late hour last
night.
Oliver Wendell Holmes was born at
Cambridge, Mass, Aug. 20, 1909. He
was graduated at Harvard college in 1929
and began the study of law, which he soon
abandoned for that of medicine After
taking his degree of M D., he spent some
time in the hospitals at Paris and other
European cities. He returned to Boston
in 1886, and began practicing. In 1888 he
was elected professor of anatomy and
physiology in Dartmouth college, and in
1S47 was appointed to a similar professor
ship in the medical school of Harvard uni
versity, from which he retired in 1882.
y But it is chiefly as writer that DIR.
Holmes is known. AS early as 1881 his
contributions appeared in various period
icals, and his reputation as poet was es-
tablished by the delivery of q metrical
essay entitled Poetry" which was fol-
lowed by others in rapid succession. In
1857 he began in the Atlantic Monthly a
series of articles under the title of "The
Autocrat of the Breakfast Table," which
were followed in 1860 by 1.-THE Professor at
the Breakfast Table," in 1872 by the "Poet
at the Breakfast Table," and in 1885 by
"The New Portfolio" In addition he has
published "Astrea," 1850; Current and
Counter Currents in Medical Science"
1861; "Elsie Venner, Romance of Des-
tiny" 1861; Border Lands in Some
Provinces of Medical Science" 1862;
"Songs on Many Keys" 1864, and numer-
Gus poems recited at various reunions and
dinners.
AS writer of songs, lyrics and poems
for festive occasions he had long occupied
the first place In 1885 he visited Eng
land, where he was received with great
cordiality. He had contributed largely to
current medical literature as well as TO
literary journals and reviews and for n
long time held warm place in the hearts
Of the people as II lecturer. A series of ge-
NAL papers from his pen, entitled "Over
the Tea Cups" appeared In The Atlantic
Monthly during 1890. The latter years of
his life had been spent in quiet retire
ment at Beverly Falls Farm, broken occa-
sionally by lecture to the Harvard stu

WHY Women Dress.

1t is often said that women dress for
other women and not for men, but don't
you believe it. Not one woman in hun
dred would care belt ribbon whether she
had silk or calico gown, or whether it

BLOOMFIELD, Ind, Out. 6.-The robbers
who dynamited the Bloomfield bank safe

nearly 5000 in cash were run down with
posse and bloodhounds near this place.
A desperate fight was kept up and the
robbers finally retreated. There were

Pennsylvania's War Governor.


Andrew Gregg Curtin was the chief ex-
ecutive of the Keystone State during the
civil war, and because his services to his
country were so great then he is chiefly
known as Pennsylvania's "war governor"
But his public services, aside from those
he rendered during the great contest, were
of sufficient Importance to have given a
lesser man lasting fancy He served in
congress for several years, he represented
the United States government for three
years at the court of the car of all the
Russias, and was lawyer of extended
practice. He was native of Bellefonte,
Pa, and was born April %, 1916. His
father, who was from County Glare, Ire
land, established one of the first iron man
ufactories in Pennsylvania.
When Law and Politics Were Mates.
He was educated at the common schools
of Bellefonte and the academy at Milton,
and when he had finished the course of the
latter institution two professions were
open to him-the law and the ministry.
He chose the former, and was admitted to
the bar in 1885, He won his first case, and
quickly built up good practice. The law
related in those days than they are now,
and when Curtin was only 90 he took the
stump for William Henry Harrison. Four
years later he did the same service for
Henry Clay, and in 1S4S and 1859 he was q
Wing elector.
One of the Original Republicans.
He was strongly urged for governor in
1864, but declined the honor and worked
with unbounded zeal for his schoolmate,
Governor Pollock who was elected, Cur
tin becoming his secretary of state The
Republican party was at that time in its
formative state, and Curtin was one of its
chief spirits. He was DESTROYS of securing
the Republican nomination for governor
in 1860, and backed by Thaddeus Stevens,
Galusha A. Grow, Alexander K. Mcclure,
John W. Forney and Matthew Stanley
Quay, all of them young men, but strong
in the counsels of the new party, he won
in the convention and was elected by a
majority of 1000 votes.
Was an Original Lincoln Man.
His first acts after his nomination were
not put forth, however, in behalf OF his
own election, but were turned toward the
national Republican nominating conven-
ton at Chicago Everything seemed to
point TO tho nomination of Seward, but
along with David Dudley Field, Thaddeus
Stevens, Horace Greeley, David Wilmot
and others Mr. Curtin did not believe Sew
ards nomination would be- likely to bring
out the entire strength of the party mt the
polls, and he iOncl the other gentlemen
named in the fight for Linc1ln's nomina-
ton. All the world knows of the success
of the movement aai of the exciting ma
tional canvass that followed.
