NORTHWESTERN MILLING.
Increased Sales ImpelIed Mills to Grind
More Strongly.

Increased Sales Impelled Mills to Grind
More Strongly.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 15.-The North.
western Miller gives the following
epitome of the weeks milling news:
Minneapolis mills last week ground
137, 700 barrels of -four, against 1O5, 800
the week before, l08,055 in 1894 and
Ito, 165 in 1893. This is the largest out
put since the first week in December.
The present week more mills are going
and the output ii likely to touch 100, 900
barrels. Increased sales have impelled
the mills to grind more strongly. While
orders booked last week were less than
the week before, they probably exceeded
the output by. 90, 900 barrels. Late last
week buying was not as good as it had
been for the 10 days preceding and bust
ness is quiet again this week.
Prices at Minneapolis were about steady
last week, though higher wheat has, i'm
the past two days, hardened them.
Export trade was considerably better
last week, some firms selling patents
freely. The increased production has
affected the offal market, and it is not
as strong or active as it was two weeks
ago.
Superior Duluth output was SO, 45O
barrels against y. 400 preceding week,
1000 in 1894 and 21,77o i193. Produc-
ton will be as large this week.

DEATH At A FIRE
Five Men Killed or Missing and
Ten Others Injured at
Lynn, Mass.
THE VICTIMS MOSTLY FIREMEN.
Accident Caused by an Explo-
sion During the Course
of the Fire.

LYNN, Mass, Feb. rs Fire broke out
about 5 Sp. m. in the basement of a g.
story wooden building occupied by w.
Henry Hutchinson, hardware, and
spread 70 adjoining property, entailing
q total loss of 500, 600. Three men were
killed. 10 injured and two are missing,
supposed to be buried in the ruins.
The dead are Captain Henry Skinner,
chemical NoH /; Thomas Murray, hose
man, and John Conlin, hossman. The
missing are George Buttoek, fireman,
and q clerk named Kimball, supposed to
have been in the building when the fire
broke out
Disastrous Explosion.
The blaze started near the paint room
in the Hutchinson building and prom
ised to do but slight damage for the first
half hour, during which the efforts of
the firemen confined it mostly to the
basement and first floor of the building.
AS the confiagration was in the very
heart OF the most dangerous district in
lynn q second and third alarm had
peen rung in as q precaution When
the fire had been burning half an hour,
without warning a terrific explosion
occurred which seemed TO split the
building from hettom to top. The up-
per stories separated and the long lad
ders, on which several firemen stood,
slipped and fell into the cavity and the
men were
Hurled to the Pavement Beneath.
Then the building fell. a mass of ruins,
and with fresh energy the flames began
to spread. The next building was occu-
pied by Peter Connolly, wholesale and
retail shoedealer. This was wholly de.
stroyed and the fury of the flames were
unchecked. Assistance was then sum-
moned from Salem and Marblehead.
The flames swept ON to the 3-story
wooden building adjoining occupied by
j. Ready, dealer In new aud second hand
furniture, and Parsons 81 Licke, bar
bers. This building was also destroyed.
Meanwhile assistance arrived. Tons of
water were poured upon the flames and
they were finally checked after having
ragged for three hours.

lNTea3EPTED LETTERS.

9he Turkish tsOvernment May Know More
Than 1t Tells About Tourist Lenx.
BOSTON, Feb. 15.a-Late Developments
indicate that the Turkish government,
may know more about the disappearance
Of Frank Lenz than It cares. to disclose.
Every movement that has been made by
the friends of the missing wheelman
has been watched by the Turkish Of
ficials, and discoveries that have been
made by the state department indicate
that every letter that has been sent out
regarding the matter has been opened
and resealed before being allowed to
cross the Turkish border. This is very
serious matter, and may develop into an
international episode of no small inn
portance. J. j. harrington, an uncle of
Lenz, has just returned from Washing
ton, where he went to make inquiries of
the state department.. During a conver.
sation he said:
Give Out No More Correspondence.
Heretofore we have been giving ont
all the official correspondence with ref
erence to Lenz Now we shall give no
more information of any kind. The
state department officials have discoy-
cred that all news published here rela-
tive TO the Lenz investigation goes di-
rect TO the Turkish government, and of
late all of the letters from our agent i'm
Armenia have been tampered with and
resealed before they crossed the Turkish
Line. Even the seal ON communication
from the British ambassador was broken
OPEN
1t is not at all improbabletha Lenz
letters may have been intercepted and
destroyed on account of something in
their contents that the government did
not like. For this same reason the
writer may have been thrown into
prison. Or it may be that letters written
by Lenz to inform his friends of some
side trip may have been de-
stroyed. I'm this latter case, however,
the Turkish government would not have
been so anxious to know how the inves-
tlgation was progressing, as the mere
fact that letter had been lost would
not worry them much.
