and the fireman gave their attention to
that part of the building. Soon the porch
was again ablaze, and another alarm was
turned in, summoning the companies,
they having returned to the engine
houses. Many streams were soon brought
to play on the burning building, and after
thoroughly drenching every floor with
water the flames were extinguished.
Mr.. Ehrenberg and two children had a
narrow escape from burning. He was
awakened by choking sensation, and
found his apartment filled with smoke.
He sprang from his bed and hurriedly
dressing the two children sent them to a
neighbor. He then turned in the alarm.
The total amount of damage cannot yet
be estimated, but it will reach a large
figure. The building and contents carried
an insurance of $4,000. Mr.. Ehrenberg will
rebuild as soon as possible.

From a Plunge Over

fires continue to spread with frightful ra-
pidlty throughout the north. Miles upon
miles of forests are being reduced to
charred and blackened stumps and ashes,
and the damage already done will reach
into the millions. One arm of the fire has
traversed south to within twelve miles of
this city, and tonight the smoke is so
dense here as to almost obscure the vision.
Along the line of the Great Northern for a
distance of twenty miles the fires are burn
ing fercely.
The passenger train going East last night
narrowly escaped being thrown down a
steep embankment into the river. A huge
burning tree toppled over onto the track
on the mountain side as the train came
around curve. Before the engineer could
reverse the lever the engine struck the
tree. bringing the train to a standstill so
suddenly as to throw the passengers to the
floor. The engine and front coaches
swayed to the opposite side from the cliff
and almost fell into the torrent below. By
the time the track was cleared the train
was on the point of igniting from the in
tense heat from the burning forest. For a
time the passengers were terror-stricken
and thought their last hour had come.
When the train arrived here the coaches
showed the intense heat they had been
through, the varnish and paint being bis

MYSTERY OF A SUICIDE.
Nellie McCormick's Career
in the School of
Design.
Reasons for Taking Her Own Life
Are Not Wholly
Explained.

The tragic ending of Miss Nellie McCor-
mick's earthly career is the theme OF con-
versation among students and teachers at
the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art. The
first reports of the tragedy from San Jose
were to the effect that Evelyn Mccormick
had committed suicide, but investigation
disclosed the fact that it was Nellie Nc
Cormick, who was in no way related to
Evelyn.
J. R. Martin cannot account for the sui
eide on any theory other than that her
mind was unbalanced. AS student she
was peculiar, and had fits of melancholy
as well as spells of obstinacy, He recalls
many peculiar actions indicating wan
dering of the mind She entered the
school when the rooms were on Pine street.
Three or four times day for at least
four months she applied at the Office for
letter. None ever came for her, but she
never failed to inquire if one had come. In
many little ways she exhibited mental pc
culiaritieS. She never associated for any
great length of time with any one girl, but
changed her companions often for no ap-
parent reason.
counsel. She said nothing to her mother
about competing for the institute medal
and when she won it did not inform her
mother of the achievement.
When her father died he left an estate
consisting mostly of landed property val
ued at 100000, but he so tied it up that 1T
could not be distributed until his Youngest
child, Nellie, had attained the age of 81
years. She lacked only one year OF that
age, and of course knew that she would
have as her share next year about SIC, 600.
Obviously nothing stood in the way OF
gratifying her frequently expressed desire
to study in Paris.
A. W. Mathews, who is Miss McCor-
mick's teacher, knew her well and UNDER
stood her mental pecuharities.
'The artistic temperament was strongly
dominant in the girl" said Mr.. Mathews.
"In this respect" he continued, "she men
tally resembled Emil Carlson. She had
moods and perhaps imagined without any
real cause that her best friends had turned
against her, and that her work in art was
not understood or appreciated. She could
do marvelously clever work with her
hand, seeming to grasp the technique
without the slightest difficulty. The cum
ming of her hand was not governed by
the head. Yes, l think her family surmise

know there is nothing to reflect on her

FRAUD IN THE Transfer.
Sensational Sequel to the Failure of a Dry
Goods Con pany.

Goods Con pany.
OMAHA, NEBR., Aug. ia sensational
sequel to the S. P. Morse Dry-goods Com
pany failure is the fact that the heavy
creditors have consolidated and brought
an action against the S. p. Morse Dry
goods Company. S. P. Morse, William V.
Morse, D. NJ. Haverly, Frank Lehmer, 0.
J. Lewis and the five creditors who OBJ
tanned confessions of Judgment in their
favor from the officers of the S. P. Morse
Dry-goods Company.
The plaintiffs claim that at the time
when the Morse Dry-goods Company be-
came involved the officers of the company
arranged with S. P. Morse to form a new
company under his own name, and that the
assets and stock of the former company
were turned in as assets in the new COM
pany, which is known as the S. P. Morse
Dry-goods Company. The plaintiffs assert
that the transfer was made to relieve the
stockholders of the former company from
liability on the claim against it and to
throw the liabilities on the new company,
which had no assets except the stock on
hand. They seek to set aside the confes-
sions of judgment entered in favor of the
five creditors who have possession of the
stock of goods under execution alleging
fraud in transfer from the old to the new
company. They also seek to render Will
liam V. Morse and O. j. Lewis, the heavy
stockholders of the former company, liable
for the debts of the S. 2. Morse Dry-goods
Company. In the meantime they ask an
order restraining the sale of the property
now held under execution until after their
rights can be determined.

EXPERIMENTS OF 4 PHYSICIAN
Medical Men Interested In the Treatment
of Tuberculosis WITH Serum.

of Tuberculosis With Serum.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 19.-Euro-
pean dispatches published yesterday told
of the great interest aroused among medi-
cal men in Europe by the recent expert
ments of Professor Marragliano of the
University OF Genoa, in treating tubercu-
losis by the use of serum. At the recent
medical congress at Bordeaux Professor
Marragliano reported that he had treated
over eighty cases of tuberculosis by this
method, and that. while some of these
were still under treatment, it was possible
to report distinctly favorable results in
three-fourths of all the casss.
In speaking of the statements in regard
to Professor Marraglianos experiments
DR.. Paul Gibler of the Pasteur Institute
said yesterday: "There is nothing new in
this method OF treating tuberculosis.
When M. Charles Richet, who may appro-
priately be styled the father of serum
thereby, began his experiments with this
treatment, following the example and
methods of Pasteur, one of the first dis
eases to which he turned his attention was
tuberculosis. The experiments begun by
him have been carried on since then both
in Paris and also in a modest way on this
side of the water.
1.-THE results of our work thus far in this
as in other maglignant diseases are very
encouraging. 1t is not claimed that the
sero-theraplc method of treatment will
cure all forms of diseases for which it is
usually administered, or even all cases of
these forms. What has been proved is
that certain forms of malignant disease
readily yield to the ro-therapic treat
ment. There are men in good health to-
day who owe their lives to it."
