POWDER FROM a BUILD

FILLED WITH SMOKE AT
THE TIME.
4 CAN UNDER EACH ARM.
THE FLAMES WERE suBDuED
After u loss of $4,000 HAD Been
Entailed-Fuliy Covered by
Insurance..

A fire in the three-story brick hard
Charles L. Horst, at 500 st. Peter
street, last evening resulted in a
loss of $4,000. 1t might easily have
resulted in the loss of more dol
lars, and in enough sudden noise to
be audible at Lake Como. Perhaps
there would have been shattered
humanity in addition. But Mr. Horst
interfered. Mr. Horst invited his
own election to paradise with no
chance for a recount for the sake of
saving others.
When his store was filled with
smoke and the location of the flames
was unknown, Mr.. Horst walked into
the burning building, preceded by
an equally self-possessed fireman,
hunted about amidst the smoke for
two large tin cans painted red, and
returned Serenely to the street with
thirty pounds of blasting powder
under each arm. Mr.. Horst also went
back and got five gallons of gaso-
line, and he would probably have
made a third pleasure trip after a
tank filled with sixty gallons of
kerosene, had not the floor became
so wet that walking was no longer
agreeable.
The alarm was turned in from
Tenth and st. Peter streets between
7:15 and 7:25 p. m.-that is, one man,
catching sight of the smoking build
ing, ran up to the little red iron
box and gave its handle sufficient
twist to elicit subdued remarks from
the gong inside. Then he ran away,
frightened at the brazen mutterings
so suddenly aroused. Another man,
noting that the market house bell
made no answer to the gong, ap-
preached the red box and twisted the
handle a little tighter. The gong
buzzed even more vindictively, but
the big bell failed to wake up, and
the smoke was growing thicker. The
second citizen took his hand off the
box, and called on a third expert.
The latter promptly opened the box
and pulled down the lever. The
alarm was thus turned in, after ten
minutes effort.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
1t began at the head of the cellar
steps, just below the first floor, and
in the rear of the building. The fire
department confined the flames to
the first story. The damage to the
building did not exceed $500. The
stock, especially the shelf hardware,
was injured by both smoke and
water, although the salvage corps
lost no time in spreading covers.
Probably Mr.. Horst's loss on his mer-
chandise will not exceed $1,000. His
insurance on the building, which he
owns, is $1,000; on the stock, about

MORE ABOUT FLOWERS.

w. Hamilton Gibson Delivers An
other Entertaining Lecture.
W. Hamilton Gibson delivered his
second lecture on flowers at the Peo-
pies church last evening, his particu-
lar subject being 1.-The Flower of the
Present" To the average person, a
flower is a thing of beauty and
therefore according to- a lamented poet,
lis joy forever" but to those who
heard Mr.. Gibson describe its delicate
mechanism, wonderful construction
and manner of propagation, last even
ing, it will henceforth possess an add
ed interest and more enhanced beauty.
A small audience greeted Mr.. Glib
son. but evidenced it's appreciation of
the entertaining manner of treating
his subject with more enthusiasm, per-
hapS, than a larger one might have
done. Mr.. Gibson characterized many
of the flowers which are considered
most beautiful today as freaks of ma
ture," monstrosities of the floral
world. There were eccentricities
among flowers and plants, which the
speaker said had been cultivated and
developed until the true gems could
not be recognized. AS Illustrations of
IneSe ulSlOTllOllS, u6 Clleu llic Clil
anthemum and columbine. By aid of
a hypothetical chart of the columbine,
was shown to what an exaggerated
degree these changes may be effected.
From a plain, unpretentious bud, the
various stages of development were
illustrated up to the intricate and gen.
orally considered beautiful Rocky
Mountain species. Many domestic
flowers were given the same treatment,
showing, according to Mr. Gibson, not
the vagaries of inconsiderate nature,
but the subtleness of mans ingenuity
in Transforming the simple blossom
into gorgeous eXtravagancies. Ma
ture," said he, resented this interfer-
ence, and in many instances the repro
duced species were incapable of propa-
cation. Peculiar in construction, the
humble bee was the only insect that
could accomplish cross-fertilization
for the red clover. The nest of the
humble bee is built on the ground,
and it's contents furnish the chief food
for field mice, consequently by exter-
minating these rodents, cats and owls
perform an Invaluable service to the.
clover
Mr.. Gibson used In his lecture
number of charts no less intricate in
their construction than many of the
flowers which he described.

TOOK MORPHINE AND DIED.
Charles WOn Commits Suicide at
the Economy Hotel.

Charles WOH Commits Suicide at
the Economy Hotel.
Charles Woll, aged thirty, Swede
. laborer, whose antecedents are un-
known, swallowed a quantity of NOR
lphine last night at the Economy hotel,
lat Jackson and Fifth streets. He was
taken to the city hospital, where he
Idied at l o'clock this morning.
Woll arrived ait the Economy hotel,
la lodging house, just before p. m.
yesterday. He gave his name to John
!Viereg, the proprietor, as Charles
WoH, and was so recorded in the
brief directory of the Economy, where
jim no addresses appear. Woll was
comfortably clad, except that he was
without an overcoat. He said nothing
further to Viereg, but seated himself
at table in the general reception
room. Resting his head ON one arm
he fell asleep. About $50 he suddenly
arose and asked to be shown a room.
For so cents he was given No. 80, a
confined apartment on the third floor,
surrounded by partitions reaching
halfway to the ceiling. He seemed
entirely sober, but disinclined to talk.
: At 10 o'clock Viereg, passing through
the nall, nearQ SrOanS WlLnln NO. o5.
He fastened down stairs and out upon
the street. At Fourth and Jackson he
found Officer Goven. The latter tele-
phoned for City Physician Brimhall
through the central police station, and,
with officer Henessy, returned to the
Economy. Forcing the door of Room
80 the officers found Woll lying upon
the bed. He was dressed in a dark
grey shirt and cheap underclothing.
His eyes were closed, his face livid
and purple. He was breathing slowly
and with an occasional groan between
his open, swollen lips. On the wash
stand was a bottle that had contained
sixty grains of morphine powders. 1t
bore the manufacturers label and not
that of the druggist who sold it. Of
ficer Goven administered coffee to the
unconscious man, who, however, did
not rally. DR.. Brimhall, arriving at
II AS, was convinced that Woll's case
was hopeless. A quarter of an hour
later the latter was sent to the city
hospital. Nothing was found in WolPs
clothes or about his room except 20
cents in silver, a penknife and two
memorandum books. One book was
entirely blank, while the leaves had
been removed from the other.

IDENTIFIED THE GOODS.
Some St. Paul Stolen Property Is
FOund iD HIinneapOlis.

Wednesday afternoon the Minneap-
oils police arrested in that city, in
rooms on Second street, John King,
Dan Ryan and Nettie Boyd. At the
rooms were found large accumula-
ticn Of silverware, clothing, jewelry.
table linen, etc. The men were charged
with grand larceny, the woman with
receiving stolen property. .
Believing that the prisoners were re-
sponsible for burglaries in both of the
Twin Cities, the Minneapolis authori-
ties invited Chief Clark to send rep
resentative who might examine the re-
covered property. Detective Mike
DAILY discovered yesterday among the
many objects taken from the alleged
thieves a quantity of silverware which
had been stolen from Mrs. James IL.
SINNERS residence in this city last
Monday night, and also q dress and
several minor articles of clothing
taken from the residence of Mrs. IL.
o. Bresette, on Kent street. The sill
verware belonging TO Mrs. Skinner
consisted chiefly of spoons, forks and
other small utensils. '"'''
1t is thought that the capture OF
King and Ryan in Minneapolis, to-
gether with the late arrest of George
Baird, the young thief who came from
Minneapolis to live on Juno street, IN
this city, accounts for all the house
breakers guilty of recent robber1es IN
st. Paul. -...f..., a,. .--

CONSTRUCTION OF GAS.
A Large Quantity Burned at the
Central Police Station.

A Large Quantity Burned at the
Central Police Station.
II would seem that a large quantity
of illuminating gas is consumed at the
central police station on West Third
street. The bills for gas consumed in
November by the various police sta
tions charge $500 feet of gas to the
central station, whereas the total
amount of gas charged to the four sub
stations hardly exceeds one-third of
the number of feet apparently con-
sumed by the central station. The sub
stations are charged as follows:
Ducas street, 1900 feet; Margaret
street, $500; Rondo street, S,100, and
Prior avenue, $500 feet.
The market house is charged with
4, 500 feet of gas and the morgue with
100 feet. This amounts to a total of
1885, 500 feet, which, at the rate Of $1.5O
per foot, makes the November bill
$25O. 20
These figures are not in excess OF
those for November of 1894. In fact,
they are smaller. What the board of
public works cannot understand is how
$500 feet of gas can be consumed at
the central police station, even if the
jets should be in use constantly. AS,
a matter Of fact gas is not burned ex-
travagantly at the central station,
many of the lights being turned down
a greater part of the time.

WELCOME DIR. PEODA.
SyvitzerIand7s Minister warmly
Received in ST. Paul.

SEitzerIand7s Minister warmly
Received in ST. Paul.
DR.. j. B. Pioda, minister to the Unit
ed States from Switzerland, arrived in
st. Paul at o'clock last night from
Portland, Or.
DR.. Pioda. is making a tour of the
United States, visiting the Swiss peo-
pie in the different cities, and will re-
main in st. Paul and Minneapolis
about one week A large delega ton
from several of the Swiss and German
societies of st. Paul met him at Min
neapolis last evening and accompanied
him to this city. Immediately after
arriving here he was taken to the
home of DR.. Gottfried Stamm, on
Smith avenue, where he took dinner
and where he will be entertained dur
ing his visit to- the Twin Cities.
At 9 o'clock he was driven to the
rooms of the Swiss Benevolent Society
of st. Paul, Third and Minnesota
streets, where a reception was given
in his honor and an elaborate banquet
was served. About $50 were present
at the reception, several of whom were
from Minneapolis.
DR.. Pioda was introduced to the as
semblage by DR.. Stamm, who extend
ed to him, in behalf of the Swiss peo-
pie of st. Paul, a hearty welcome.
Thomas ]. Kerker next spoke. He
said that the United States is a coun-
try in which the Swiss people all find
a welcome, and the only one in which
their welcome is perfect. The Swiss
people like this country on this ac-
count, and also because the form of
government is the same as that Of
their own. In the name of the Swiss
societies and residents of the Twin
Cities he welcomed the distinguished
guest. ..
DR.. Pioda then responded He. said
that he had been in this country
about eight months, visiting the Swiss
people in many of. the large cities.
This investigating tour was made for
the purpose of finding the condition
and number of the people from his
country in America. He has found
them fairly prosperous considering
the condition Of the times. They are
law abiding class and make excellent
American citizens, honest and indus
trious, and always loyal to the stars
and stripes. --.....z.- -,
DR.. Stamm responded briefly, and
was followed by Mr.. Kunz, who spoke
of the good work being done by the
Swiss societies in ST. Paul. They
were always willing to help the wor-
thy poor, and since their organization
ten years ago had given away many
hundreds of dollars. t'' "2:f" '@'
DR.. Schwyzer was then called upon
and said that he was glad that Dr.
Pioda had complimentad the Swiss
people of st. Paul by paying them a
visit, and he was also pleased to note
the enthusiasm with which they re-
ceived him. The motive which brought.
the visitor here was a worthy one and
he rejoiced that SwitZerland's repre-
sentative was taking such a practical
method to fit himself for the duties of
his Office. A number of others then
spoke briefly
DR.. Pioda will visit at Minneapolis
today, and reception will be given in
his honor at DR.. Stan1n's home to-
morrow night. .-f
