Another Fire Horror In Detroit

Three more deaths have resulted
from fire in Detroit. This time the
new factory of the Improved Match
Co., was the scene of the disaster and
two men and young girl were the
victims 1t was about $3.50 a. IN. when
the flames were discovered and q night
shift of about so men, boys and girls
were at work. A terrible panic at
once ensued, but few retained
enough presence of mind to attempt
TO extinguish the flames. This was .
futile effort however as the highly in
fiammable nature of the material in
the building caused the fire to spread
with frightful rapidity. The employees
were soon surrounded by dense smoke
and heavy sulphur fumes and it is only
n wonder that many more did not lose
their lives. The dead are John Wag-
ner, aged 81. nightwatchman; Reuben
Davis, aged "a, night foreman; Agnes
Yettke, aged II. Five others were in
jured, but not seriously.
The burned building was of brick,
three stories high and in less than an
hour was a mass of ruin. The loss falls
heavily upon a new company and
amounts to $4,000. Only 81, 900 insur-
ance was carried, owing to the high
rates charged on such a business

New Episcopal Diocese of Marquette.

The primary convention of the Epis.
copal church of the new diocese
erected out of the missionary jurisdic-
ton of the northern mission was held
at Marquette, with 40 delegates pres
emit, representing all the parishes ex-
cept Calumet and lronwood. The
venerable archdeacon, g. Mott Will
Jams, of Marquette, was chosen as bis
hop on the second informal ballot.
The name Marquette was chosen as
the official designation of the new
diocese. This virtually fixes the city
of Marquette as the cathedral city, and
st. Paul's church as the bishops cathe-
dral. The same constitution and can
ons governing the diocese of Michigan,
with few verbal changes, to adapt it
to the new diocese, were adopted.
q. Mott Williams was born at Fort
Hamilton, n. Y, Feb. IL, 1857 He
entered the ministry of the Episcopal
church in December, 1880, as deacon
and was made priest in 's2 by Bishop
Harris He was located in Detroit,
Buffalo and Milwaukee and went to
northern Michigan in 1892.

Fire was discovered in large barn
at the rear of the Hotel Linden at Lake
Linden. When the fire department re-
sponded to a call their wrenches were
all missing and the business portion of
the town was in danger before the
couplings could be made. Several
barns were burned and seven horses
cremated before the flames were SUBJ
dued. This is the third fire in that
locality and, with the disappearance
of the wrenches, seems to point to
incendiarism.

senator PaImer's Residence Burned.

Thomas w. Palmers elegant resi-
dence, at 1860 Woodward avenue, De-
troit, was destroyed by fire, entailing
loss of many thousands of dollars
and wiping out of existence numerous
valuable works of art, paintings, books
and other treasures including costly
bric-a- brac and furniture. But for the
fact that many of the more valuable
articles had been shipped TO Mrs. Palm
er's new home on the Hudson river, or
were stored, the loss would have been
an immense one. As it is, many of
the things which were burned cannot
be replaced, as they were relics priced
for their historical value This is es-
pecially true of the Worlds Fair rec
ords, the only complete records in ex-
istenee, and many mementoes of his
residence in Washington and Spain.

SOME OF IT'S PREDECESSORS.

While the Cozzens house is the most cele
brated of the early hotels of Omaha, it was
far from being the first to make pretensions
to metropolitan service Several very sub
stantial structures accommodated the tran
sient guests of the more than decade be-
fore Train came on the scene, and some of
these have probably been forgotten, even by
the old settlers who were in Omaha in its in
fancy
The first Omaha hotel was the st. Nicholas.
which was located at the corner of Twelfth
and Jackson streets. 1t was a small frame
building and years ago the last trace of its
existence disappeared The same fate has
overtaken the City hotel, small frame struc-
ture, which was erected on the southwest
corner Of Eleventh and Harney streets In
1854.
The Douglas house was built In the fol-
lowing year, and for several years 1t posed
as the leading house of the city. 1t was a
two-story frame building, at the southwest
corner of Harney and Thirteenth streets.
The Farnam house was built on the north
side of Harney street. between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth, in 1858, and st. John Goodrich.
father of the late c. S. Goodrich. was one
of its first proprietors. The fremont was
built on Douglas street. just west OF Thir-
teenth, in 1856 and was run until 1865 by
William f. Sweezy and Aaron Root. The
Union hotel built in 1860, at Fifteenth and
Dodge streets, and the Pacific house, which
was built six years after, by David T. Mount,
on North Tenth street, were also among the
early hotels which have passed entirely out
of existence.
