FIRE AT KANSAS CITY.
Two Buildings Burned and Several
People Injured.

Kansas City, June Ia general alarm
was sent in to-day from the corner of
Thirteenth and Hickory streets for a fire
which was raging on the third floor of
the building owned and occupied by the
keystone Investment company. The fire
had been burning quite a while before
the department arrived on the spot. and
the flames had gotten beyond control.
The burning building was a four-story
brick, and was stocked with all sorts of
farming implements, as we'll as harness,
etc. The fremen worked hard to con-
fine the flames to the Keystone building,
but the stock of paints and oils fed the
flames, which leaped in the air fifty 10 a
hundred feet, and were quickly COM
municated TO the Buford & George Man
ufacturing building, Nos. 1911 and 1916,
on the east. This firm also manufactures
agricultural implements, and their stock
was a large one. The department fought
the flames from all sides and succeeded
in keeping the fire within the two struct-
ures named. but both buildings and con-
tents were entirely destroyed, even the
walls having fallen. The west wall of
the Keystone building fell and crushed an
adjoining frame dwelling occupied by
Charles Piercey. The family had left
their home and were thus saved from
death. The Birch house, occupied by
Jasper Pope. was also crushed, and Pope
was seriously injured. Several others
were injured, but not seriously. The loss
is about S3O0,000.

MINING DEAL.
Carnegie said to Have Bought the
Oliver Mine.


Duluth. Mimi. June IA large in
terest in the Oliver mine has just been
bought. il is said on the best authority,
by the Carnegie Steel company of Pitts
lLrg. With the Carnegie people and the
Oliver Iron and Steel company owning
the Oliver mine it is not outside the pos
s'bilities that the mine may send out a
great deal more ore than the Norrie ever
did. Some of the owners Of the mine
claim that there are not less than 3d.
100000 tons in the mine and the state
lease TO the property is only twenty
years. Another important matter in con-
nectiOn with the trade is the probable
consolidation of the Chaplin and the
Hamilton and LuddingtoD mines at Iron
Mountain, Mich. The Chaplin is being
largely worked and the other can and will
be, though now idle. The Dunn mine,
the original Schlesinger property, has also
been started up. Although ore shipments
are large in the aggregate from all the
langes on Lake Superior there is still a
vast amount of suffering among the
laborers of the region, and this is likely
TO be worse the coming winter than the
last, severe as that was.

A Costly Blaze Occurs in the Yards
mt Dubugue

Dubuque, Tune 11-Sparks from the
locomotive of a Chicago Great Western
passenger train set fire TO a pile of saw
dust in Lesure's lumber yard. The win
from the east blew the flames across a
crescent of slOughs from Sixth street 10
Eleventh, lined with lumber. Lesures
mill and yard and such of the Standard
Lumber company's yard as was in the
path of the flames went first. Then the
Dubuque Top Buggy ccmpany's vacant
frame factory went and when the
Knapp-Stout company's yards became a
mass of flames, kilograms for assistance
were sent to Freeport, Galena, Clinton
and other towns. The Knapp-Stout COM
pany's yards ended at the paper mill,
separated from the yard by a pond on the
south. and from Carr, Ryder & Englers
yard by a street on the north. The pond
and the mill, which later proved Il fire
wall. prevented the flames from spreading
further north. The Leisure company
loses $4,000 on the mill, which employed
225 men, and $4,000 on the yard. In
surarCe, 500, 900; some in nOn-board com
pennies. The Knapp-Stout company's loss
is S225. 900; insurance, SlS0,OO; ali III
board companies. The Standard Lumber
company's loss is $4,000; fully insured.
Twenty-Five million feet of lumber were
burned. The other losses bring the total
up TO $4,000.

rive DROWNED AT WHITE BEAR.
One Was n Case of suicide and the
Other an Accident.


ST. Paul. July 11.-Early yesterday
morning the dead body of Mary Baker,
cook at the Lakeside hotel, White Bear,
was found lying face downward in two
feet of water near the bath house. From
the appearance of the body il had evil
IDENTIFY been in the water several hours.
Judging from the peculiar actions OF the
young oman for several days previous
10 her death il was unhesitatingly pro-
nounced a case of, suicide. AT d nate
hour Saturday night she was In her
bed sound asleep, having been seen there
by two of the mattresses In the hotel.
A pail lay near the body when found,
and the idea was advanced that she had
gone TO the lake for a pail of water anu
had fallen in.
But inasmuch as the attaches OF the
house never took water from the laHe
this theory was discarded. and it was
decided that the girl committed suicide,
for the water a. the bath house was too
shallow TO drown her unless she deliber-
ately drowned herself. Two years ago
the young woman suffered a severe sun
stroke, from the effects of which she
never fully recovered, and her mind was
supposed 10 have become unhinged. Cor
oner Whitcomb. after viewing he re-
mains and hearing the stories of the at
taches of the hotel, pronounced il a case
of suicide. Her brother and sister, living
al 6l9 Ninth avenue southeast, Mime
apolis, were notified and will take charge
of the body to-day.
Charles Rondo, aged eighteen. while
bathing III a small lake two miles from
White Bear yesterday afternoon, was
suddenly seized with cramps, and before
assistance could reach him he was
drowned. The body was recovered by
his companions a few moments later, but
their efforts TO resuscitate him were fruit
less. Rondo was a section hand on the
500 road, and was accompanied 10 the
lake by Albert Taylor, a brakeman on
the Duluth railroad. and the son Of a
farmer named Lahore.
