Eight LW1.44na Houses Ar,
Wiped Out by a Con-
nagration.


A row of eight dwelling houses waS
destroyed by fire last night in the sec
ton of the city formerly known as
New Boston, ten families being de-
prived OF their homes, and a property
loss of $4,000 being entailed The
houses burned were eight two-story
frame dwellings, numbered from $500 tc
25l4 Howard street northeast, directly
opposite the new Van Cieve school.
The houses are located at the end of
the city water circulation, and, for this
reason, combined with the prevalence
of q strong gale, which was blowing
upon the burned row from the I'M
broken prairie to the northwest, the
houses were all enveloped in flames by
the time the fire department arrived.
By hard work, the house on the eX-
IRENE end of the row was saved. The
names of the occupants. as far as could
be learned last night, are as follows:
Louis May, 300 Howard street,
house owned by w. Bolles, partially
destroyed, furniture partial loss; w.

MAGUIRE,S REPORT.
1t Favored Hydraulic Elevators,
and Cost Him His Job.

The court house and city hall commits
sioners have partially revenged them
selves on John de Laittre for his bellig-
erent attitude on the elevator question.
Yesterday the committee on construc-
ton cut off Consulting Engineer Ma
CURES official head by notifying him
that his services were no longer need
ed. Mr.. Mcguire is the engineer of the
Syndicate block, and was recommended
to the court house commission by Mr.
De Laittre. He was employed to do
special work, but unfortunately he IA
vored hydraulic instead of electric ele-
VatorS, hence an explanation of his
discharge is not hard to discover.
Mr.. Maguire is not greatly worried
over his dismissal, as. his work at the
court house necessarily took him from
his duties III the Syndicate. He has al
ready received $4C0 OF the $500 promised
him by the commissioners, and says
that since his report he has felt certain
he could not continue in harmonious
relations with the electric elevator
champions on the commission. Mr.. De
Laittre says ne is glad too, and that
he would not have performed the work
Mr.. Mcguire contracted to do for S., 600
had he been an engineer.

Put 1t at Midway,

John f. Calderwood, president of the
Commercial club, holds very liberal
views in regard to the. proposition to
worl for the capitol removal Mr..
Caiderwood says he sees no reason
why Minneapolis should not, under the
existing circumstances, try to secure
the prize, but he. hopes to see st. Paul
make a better offer and a. successful
one. -. -
IF it is true said Mr.. Calderwoed
yesterday, %Tthat an exorbitanta price
has been paid for the proposed st. Paul
site, the matter should be sifted to
the bottom, but the true solution of
the whole. problem in my opinion is to
locate the capital in the Midway dis
trict. Nothing else would have so
strong a tendency to weld the inter
ests of the woacities together.

Ply an African chief in the mines at
Jagersfontein, and is said to be the

Worth the gigantic sum of twenty
millions. Large South Africa dia-
monos have not the same value as the
Brazilian stones have. An eighty-car-
rat gem is common find in the Afri-
can mines, but most of the large
stones discovered there are. yellow in
color, which largely depreciates the
value. Still, from its gigantic size,
the pope's diamond will at once take
a foremost place among the great
gems of the world, and two thousand
years from now it will probably be
talked and written about just as the
Koh-i-noor is today.
1fs-s A $2S,OOO $1,000 SPARKLER.
The most valuable cut stone in the
world is the king of PortugaTs Bra
lillian diamond, which weighs 525 car
ats and is worth, if genuine, the mag
nificent sum of $4,000 0OO.
The Koh-i-noor, or mountain of
light, owned by Queen Victoria, is
worth SS,5OO,O00. This brilliant is two
thousand years old. The Hindoos
trace it back to the time of the god
Krischna. 1t was certainly in the
treasury of the Delhi, and was taken
in the conquest of that city by Ala-ed-
Din. From him it came into the pos
session of the Sultan Baber, of the
Mogul dynasty, in 1926. This prince
esteemed its worth at the sum which
