A weIl-dre>sel stranger appeared ct
Mr.. Cottie's North-street residence
early Monday morning, saying ne
wanted to make 4 deal with Mr.. Cot

owned on Chcnango street. Mr.. Cot

At sc Baynes street there IS an unoc-
cupied cottage. Arriving there, Mr..
Cottle was invited to go in and show
the place 10 the stranger AS he
stepped inside the door another strar-
ger seized and gagged him. The
two men securely bound Mr.. Cot

handouts on his wrists and shackles

collar. Shacllcs and handouts and all
were united They then ordered him
to write a note to his wife saying that
he had been arrested under an as

note closed with the earnest admoni-

One of the men then went to the
Cottle house and saw Mrs. COttle, who
was about to give him the money
when her eldest son CHANGED to come
in. lie advised her not to give up the
money, so she told the man to call
later in the day and in the mean
time the matter was reported to the
police. They were unable to make
any Roadway with it, however. The
man did not return to the Cottle
house. The other man remained with
Mr.. Cottle until Tuesday night, and
provided him with water and crack
ers. Alarmed at the failure of his
partner to appear, he disappeared
from the house late Tuesday night.
A policeman passing the house yes
terday morning heard groans, and
breaking in the doors of the house,
made an investigation. He found Mr..
Cottle seated on a chair in the cellar,
loaded with chains, which were fast
ened to the floor in such a manner that

New and Handsome Charts OF Lakes Su-
perior and Huron just Completed.
WASHINGTON, June 2s.-The navy de-
partment has issued handsome charts
of lakes Superior and Huron, which,
unlike any of the maps hitherto pub
lished of those regions, are designed
wholly for the use of mariners. AS
rapidly as possible similar charts will
be prepared for all the great lakes as
well as for interior navigable waters
generally. Heretofore all government
maps have been with special view for
landsmen, and were not adapted to the
purpose of navigation, as they allowed
no compensation for magnetic compass
deviation, and the direction of straight
away could only be found upon them
with great difficulty.

Fatal Flames In Minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIs, Mimi, June 2S.-At II
o'clock last night the most disastrous
fire in this city in point of loss of life
since the Tribune fire of 1889 broke out
in the immense fve-story building at
24O and 242 First avenue south, occu-
pied by Mcdonald Bros, wholesale
crockery. The first alarm was turned
in at IL o'clock. and was shortly fol-
lowed by a second and third alarms
and a general call for the entire de-
partment.
The blaze started in the rear of the
upper stories, but soon communicated
itself to the front of the building and
then burst from the roof. In half an
hour the roof gave way, and two
minutes later a part of the side
wall fell, crushing beneath the
ruins a group of fremen in the
alleyway. Six were taken out
dead, of which the bodies of John Hoy,
John Iiornick and Wallace Richard
son were recognized. Among the
large number of injured were Ed.
Thielen, John Gray and Capt. Cald-
well; and other bodies are supposed to
be still in the ruins. The loss will be
about 500, 900, with heavy insurance.
1870 a. m.-The total number of
dead at this hour is believed to be
nine. Three bodies have been identi-
fed as mentioned. Thielen, one of
the injured, died while being taken to
the hospital.
There are still five ffremen missing
and all are supposed to be lying
crushed to death under the mass of
debris in the fatal alley where the
wall fell. No sounds of agonized life
can be heard issuing from the death
dealing mass of brick and mortar, but
heroic efforts are being made 6y the
fire fighters and police to bring the
missing men to the surface dead or
alive.
The scenes when the bodies of the
dead and injured firemen were carried
from the burning debris were distress
full in the extreme, and were intensi-
fed on the arrival of relatives and
friends.
Many of the spectators who were too
anxious to get a close view of the blaz-
ing pile, and the attendant scenes of
death and suffering were injured by
flying embers and bricks. Consider
able confusion remains around the
| scene. but the police and firemen are
exerting every move to get the bodies.
The exact number will not be known
before morning.
The total loss will be about S10C, 900,
with insurance of $50, 900.

a handful of men the admiral repulsed

but the struggle was hopeless, and see.

a retreat and then cut his own throat.

LOADING AN OCEAN STEAMER.
The Storage is Something Tremendous
and Requires Careful Packing.

To watch the loading of grain, either
from an elevator or a lighter, into n
of the mammoth vessels engaged in
its transportation, is to witness n OF
the chief operations in the movement
of the worlds commerce. 1t Is carried
in long pipes, with a fu~nnel-shaped
movable a~ppendage at the end, which
is shifted by means of a rope from n
part of the hold to another. according
as the stream of grain fills up the
spaces reserved for it. The grain flows
into the vessel with the noise and
velocity of a torrent, and sends a
dense volume of dust and chaff up
ward, obscuring the depths beneath
and making the men attending the
stoware below look like ghosts n the
rising mist.
The trimming" of the grain in the
holds is an important part of its stow
age. After several thousand bushels
have streamed into the hold, a dozen
or more men are delegated to shovel
the downpouring column in between
the vessels beams, a job for which they
are paid at the rate OF n cent a min
ute. In vessels of the Cunard stripe it
takes between 12, 900 and $1,000 bushels
to fill a hold, and these vessels average
so. 600 bushels in the total cargo. Ships
carrying grain alone can take as high
as los 900 bushels, and when it is con-
sidered that from 1000 to 1000 bushels
can be stored in an hour, every forty
bushels weighing a ton, an idea can De
had of the force of the torrent directed
into the vessel.
Large vessels have four or five holds,
and a distinction is made in storing the
cargo in them. Grain, from its com
pact and dead weight, is reserved
mostly for the center of the vessel
while cured provisions are packed as

Dozen Firemen Crushed Under Falling
Walls at "A Fire in Minnrapolis-Many of
Them Taken Out Dcad-Others Missing.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-The worst
fire San Francisco has had in over
thirty wears started shortly before 9
o'clock tonight in the real of the San
Francisco box factory, located at Fifth
and Harrison streets. Before the de-
partment reached the ground the
flames were sweeping through a num-
Der of frame buildings on Fourth street
which backed into the factory and
leaped across the street to the South
ern Pacific hay barns. The second
alarm was turned in, only to be fol-
lowed by the third and fourth in rapid
succession.
Chief Sullivan was one OF the first to
reach the scene, and realized the dam
ger at 4 glance. Before one-half OF
the department had connected their
lines it was seen that the fire was be-
yond control. Word was t~elegraphed
across the bay to Oakland and Ala
media for assistance. The sister cities
quickly responded with two engines
each. They were located along the
water front and used as pumps to sup
ply water from the bay.
The Southern Pacific pump lines of
hose were connected and did good
service in bringing salt water to sup
ply the fast weakening fresh-water
mains.
\ strong wind was blowing from
the west and famed the flames across
the broad street, sweeping everything
in its path.
At 9:45 the fire was gotten under
control. The high brick wall of the
deserted Southern Pacific Office at
Fourth and Townsend streets acted as
a barrier over which the flames could
not work. The water furnished from
the bay by the Oakland engines and
Southern pumps soon had the outer
edge of the fire subdued.
In addition to the destruction of the
mills, factories, foundries and hotels,
over fifty dwellings are destroyed.
Three hundred families are homeless,
though some of them managed to save
a portion of their goods. Thus far nc
authentic account of loss of life has
been given out. Rumors r plenty,
but it is impossible to penetrate the
burned district to ascertain whether
any bodies are in the ruins or not
One fireman was slightly injured by
the fall of a floor and at first it was re
ported that he had been killed, but he
was gotten out with no greater dam
age than a bruised shoulder anc
sprained back.
The fire was gotten under control
shortly before 10 o'clock, after con
Stunning property to the value of 81, $50
