win, who IL on trial In a breach oi
promise suit brought by Lillian Ashley,
was on the witness stand today, and foI
several hours did not have a particu.
larly enjoyable time, as the plaintiff 9
counsel, upon ross.examination, prob
ed into the millionaire horseman' 8
private life and used his best endeavors
to release the defendants 9 family skele-
tons from their closets. Baldwin de-
MED most emphatically that he had
ever offered or promised to adopt the
plaintiff, legally or any other way,
either orally or in writing. He denied
that the scene alleged to have occurred
at the Boston depot was enacted there,
but admitted that, upon bidding the
fair Lillian adieu, he drew her mp to
him with the intention of kissing her,
but as she demurred, he did not insist.
His version of the scene at the Bald
win hotel, upon the night of Miss
Ashley's arrival from the East, was
totally at variance with that related so
dramatically by the plaintiff. Baldwin
said he had been married four times
and divorced once.
Attorney Crittenden compelled the
defendant to reiterate every detail of
the scene in Miss Ashley's room at the
Baldwin hotel. Then the visit TO Coro-
nado was gone into, and Attorney Crit
tenden compelled the defendant to
admit that he had deliberately gone 20
respectable hotel and falsely regis
tered, with the express purpose of act
ing dishonesty.
He was also compelled to admit that,
although So years of age, and the pro-
prietor of one of the largest hotels in
this city, he had deliberately violated
the rules of another establishment. He
admitted that, TO the best of his recol-
lection, he had introduced Miss Ashley
to K. 5. Babcock, the proprietor of the
Cornado hotel, as his daughter. The
defendant stated that he did not in
tend to take Miss Ashley to Cornado.
but. upon going to the train, found
her awaiting him on the cars. He was
then asked, If that was the case, to ex-
plain what he meant by writing TO the
plaintiff that he would take her to San
Diego, prior to March, 1898. He de-
MED that ne had done so, but was con-
fronted with one Of his letters to her,
and admitted that he had written to
that effect.

WEiDLER'S MILL GONE.
Fire Destroys the Great Lumber Estab
iishment in Portland.

rlre Destroys the Great Lumber Estab~
iishment in Portland.
Portland, Or, June 29.--The entire
plant of the Willamette Steam Mill,
laundering d Manufacturing Company,
better known as Weidler's mill, was
destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.
The loss is approximately $3.50. 900,
and is covered by insurance TO the
amount of $40, 900, distributed in small
policies among several local agents.
The origin of the fire was accidental,
and, owing to the extremely dry con-
dition of the mill and yard, Its spread
was SO rapid that nothing could be
saved. Robert Mays, an employe of
the mill, has not been seen since the
fire started, and it is believed by his
fellow workmen that he was overcome
while endeavoring to make his escape,
and has been burned to death.
A scene of indescribable panic and
confusion followed the breaking out of
the fire. Almost instantly the flames
enveloped the buildings, leaping from
roof to roof and from one lumber pile
to another SO rapidly that it was i'm
possible to follow them. The men
employed in and about the mills mar
rowly escaped suffocation before they
could reach the free air. g. M.
Keene, sawtiler, who was engaged in
a shop near the rear of the mill, was
imprisoned there by the flames, and,
when finally rescued by companions,
his mustaohe was completely burned
off. Another employe named Murphy
endeavored to escape through the burn.
ing mill, and, his clothes taking fire,
he was obliged to jump in the river to
save himself. In the sash and door
factory the workmen first endeavored
to save their tools, but soon were glad
to leave everything and get out with
whole skins.
About 200 men were empoyed by the
company, and the monthly payroll was
over $1,000. These employees probably
represent that number of families, and
the destruction of the mill by yester-
days fire will work no inconsiderable
hardship among these people who are
nearly all dependent on the daily earn
ings OF their bread winners.
