DEL MONTE MILLS IN PERIL
A SCORE OF HORSES INcINERATED
KILBURN's CooPERAGE SHOP
GONE.

| Fire broke out this morning at / 80
| O'Clock in stable on Townsend street, and
communicated with two-story frame
| building on the east occupied by Brown
Brothers as cooperage-shop.
1t also spread to the west, destroying a
two-story frame building occupied by
Frank Grim as dwelling.
| 1t then spread to several shanties and
stables in the rear and completely de-
stroyed them.
The stable was owned by Brown Bros.
and occupied by them and by Laumeister
of the Del Monte FIGURING mill and their
horses.
There were thirty-fve horses in the
stable, and it was reported at first that
none of them escaped.
The fire got a great start before the
| alarm was given and the Chief was obliged
to turn in a second alarm.
The fire destroyed Laumeister's barn on
! Stanford street, near Townsend, and with
it over twenty head of horses, the wagons
and drays and large stock of hay and
grain.
| Within half hour after the fire started
the barn was burned to the ground. 1t
was a one-story wooden structure with a
| loft.
The flames spread to Kilburn's cooper
| shop, building adjoining, and completely
destroyed the stock in that esta blishment.
Before the fire was got under control it
| had caught the dwelling next the cooper
shop. At 2 o'clock the fire was under
control.
The loss is estimated at between SAC, 900
and $4,000.
| The amount of the insurance could not
| be definitely learned this morning.
The proprietor of the cooperage shop was
burned out two years ago. His shop was
then on the other side of Second street.
| a small frame building adjoining the
cooper-shop was partially destroyed. 1t
was occupied by Frank Grim, a laporer.
His furniture was destroyed and his
family were obliged to leave the building
in their nightclothes.
| The great mill of the Del Monte Com
pany..at Second and Brannan streets was in
great danger of destruction.
| The wind bearing clouds of sparks blew
| toward it, and had it not been for the rain
that was falling fast the huge structure
would have been ignited.
The fire was started by an explosion of
| chemicals in small room in the rear of
the cooper-shop.
| Fire from defective fiue damaged the
three-story frame structure on Newhall
place, off Lombard street, to the extent of

for an extensive tour of the West in order
to hear cases that have arisen in that Sec
ton which demand adjudication. The
rates from Pueblo and Denver to Califor-
MIA are to be inquired into. The Colorado

Some Misunderstanding A5out the South
Dakota Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, March 19-At the
Agricultural Department it is thought
there has been misunderstanding as
to the proclamation of the Governor of
South Dakota. 1t is thought that the
proclamation referred to is merely the
usual one issued about this time to estab-
lish local legislation in conformity with
the regulations made by the department to
prevent the introduction of what is known
as Texas fever among the cattle The
Health Department recently issued its an
nual report, restricting trade in Texas cat
tie. There is no pleuro- pneumonia in
Texas. 1t is said at the Agricultural De-
partment that the department has numer-
Gus agents in Texas, and frequent reports
are received from them. The disease can
not be communicated through slaughtered
beef.

A KENTUCKY MAN OF LETTERS.
Something About James Lane Allen,
Author of "FIute and Violin"

Something About James Lane Allen.
Author of ''FIute and Violin"
James Lane Allen, author of 'F1ute
and Violin and "a Kentucky Car
dinal." was born on a farm near Lex
ington, in the very heart of the Blue
Grass region, where the Aliens had
been gentlemen farmers for three gen
eratiOns before his. birth. They were
originally Virginians of English ances-
try. By blood and by marriage they
were related in Virginia, and after
wards in Kentucky, to the old historic
families of Madisons, Paynes, john
sons, Lanes, and Clays. The Collins
history bears out the tradition that Col.
William Payne, the first of the family
to enigrate to Kentucky. once struck
Washington. The cause of the encOun-
ter is given, and the tradition gives the
history of a subsequent visit made by
Washington and his wife to the Vir-
ginia home of Col. Payne, whom WASH
fngtOn presented to his wife as 1.-The
man who had struck him. On both
sides of the family the author comes Of
Revolutionary stock. They possessed
large wealth, but the fortune dwindled
away before the birth of the author,
and at last they found themselves in
straitened circumstances The civil
war came on and the distress and ruin
Of the times by no means bettered their
financial condition. James Lane Allen
was the youngest of seven children. He
obtained his education only with the
greatest difficulty and under the most
adverse circumstances, and at the age
of 81 became the bread-winner for three.
Struggling through several years OF
teaching as q means of sustenance, he
| became 50 disguised with the profession
that was so hard and a the same time
so uncertain, that he at once resolved to
devote his life to literature. Ten years
ago he went to New York with a lead
pencil and a few dollars and engaged on
a newspaper. He had no acquaintance
in the place, nor even a letter OF in
PRODUCTION. The fight was, of course,
severe, but in eight years since then he
| has written five volumes, several poems
| and numerous critical essays. Butter
| flies" Mr.. Aliens serial story, which
will continue during the summer in
Harper's, is that of a simple country
boy and girl, frankly but delicate1y and
pathetically told. The scene is laid in
Kentucky.

and today there is not car and this road
runs through the richest and best
wheat lands in Illinois. Receipts
at Chicago are much lighter than
a year ago and are hardly worth calcula-
ton in comparison. The receipts at
northwestern points are only up to the
average and very little of it is going into
storage as the mills grind it as fast as it
is received and the -four is used at once,
leaving smaller stocks in store than for
two years past The visible supply is
only about one half of what it was last
year at this time and European supplies
are so per cent less than year ago But
still the bears with a courage born of
foolhardiness keep on selling wheat
short, which we consider as being equal
to holding a dance on floor covered
with dynamite. The wheat market is in
the condition OF compressed rubber
ball and the minute the compress is
loosened a little there will be an explo-
sion and the market will soar near the
dollar mark, if not above. Six months
ago there were many people who said
wheat would never go above 6Oc again,
unless we had a crop famine or war and
in the short space of three weeks wheat
advanced from 53c to S3c, which was the
greatest and most sudden legitimate adj
vance seen in this market for years. The

it was six months ago at 53c, and is
relatively cheaper now at 90 than it was

doubling official is not made pub
lie. Judge J. H. Sandusky, attorney
for Judge J. E. Lincoln, executor
of the Fraker estate said this morning that
they have not admitted yet that the pris-
oner is Fraker. All that Judge San

his memorable disappearance, will be
here this afternoon, when the question
of identity will be permanently settled.

DOCTORS ON EBRIETY.
The MedicO-legal Congress Dis
cuSSeS Drunkenness.
Way to Treat Drunkards is to
Lock Them Up,
SUICIDE EPIDEMICS.
Power of Example Has Made
Them Frequent.
The Subject of Criminology is
Also Discussed.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Sociology and
criminology formed the subjects dis
cussed during the first portion of the
morning session of the second days
meeting of the Medico-legal congress.
DR.. D. T. Crothers read a paper on
Illegal Responsibility in Inebriety,"
which was laid over from yesterday.
He said that inebriety and excess of alco-
hol paralyzed the nerves and brain.
In the discussion of the paper Albert
Bach said the courts very properly held
the inebriate responsible for crime be-
cause he knew what the effect of his
taking alcoholic drink would be. He
admitted that a man in an alcoholic
trance was not really responsible for his
actions, yet it would be a dangerous
thing to permit the inebriate to escape
punishment for his crime.
DR.. Forbes WinslOW said the only cure
for the habitual drunkard was 10 lock
him up. In England, however, man in
delirium tremens could bring civil
action against the doctor who restrained
him
There should be, he thought, a dis
tinction made in the matter of RESPONSE
bilit. between the man who gets drunk
occasionally aud the habitual drunkard.
The chairman then introduced the sub
iects of the morning.
DR. Crothers, in a FIVE minute talk,
said criminology was in a state of chaos
at the present time. In studying crime
the man should be considered, and he
! believed the criminal was stamped on
the physical body.
DR.. Forbes Winslow then read paper
| on Suicide Considered as Mental Ep-
idemic" He said in part that all human
actions were under the influence and
power of example more than precept,
and consequently self-destruction had
often been justified by an appeal to the
laws and customs of past ages. History
was replete with examples of moral and
criminal epidemics during the past CEN
