Wisconsin shall be dishonored by re-

for what reason? Because. like Chris

The business district had narrow
escape from a serious fire, at one o'clock
this morning.
That it didn't turn out that way was
owing to the promptness and hard work
of the members of the fire department.
The fire was discovered by Officer
McCausland and belated pedestrian,
just at one o'clock, at the top OF the
stairway leading TO the upper stories
of the old Crangle block, Nos. 1916,
1913 and 1920 Market street. An alarm
was struck in from box No. %, at
Market and Fourteenth streets, and
the Eleventh street chemical company
was at the scene in very short time.
When the firemen entered the build
ing the blaze was burning merriiy
through the third floor, at the head OF
the stairs while the smoke was so
dense as to make it almost a matter
of Suffocation to attempt TO get near
enough to the flames to see just what
was going on and where the fire was
coming from As soon as the fire was
eXtinguished in the floor of the third
story hall, the firemen saw that the
blaze was coming up from below. They
accordingly broke open the door Of
Erskine & AlliSon's law office, on the
second floor. and the mystery was solv-
ed. In the northeastern corner of the
large Office room small room, about
Sx10 feet. is partitioned off for the use
of the firms stenOgrapher and against
this partition, in the large room, sits
a small stove burning natural gas.
The gas was left turned on in this stove
last evening. and during the night it
came on" full tilt. As a result the
stove became red hot. set fire to the
partition, and this burned up through
the ceiling and upper floor. The ISL
land chemical reinforced the Eleventh
street machine. and IN twenty minutes
or so the fire was extinguished without
turning on the big hose, and as re-
suit the large stock Of NJ j McFad-
den. on the ground floor. was saved.
Had the big hose been used, water must
have inevitably ruined this stock as
we'll as the law library of ErSkine 4
Allison. 1t was another splendid dem
onstration of the value of the chemical
engines. for the price of both of them
was saved last might. As it is. the loss
will not be over a few hundred dollars.
A number of citizens were of mater
ial aid 10 the department, among them
ex-Fireman Robert Cline, who always
turns UP at a blaze like a bad cent in
trade and gives a strictly frst-class
account Of himself. Chief Healy di
rected the efforts of the firemen in per-
son.

Martin :. Thompson's Memory Very ser
iousIy Clouded-Ca Remember Nothing.
New Castle. Pa. March Martin ).
Thompson. manager Of the Raney d
Berger furnace, who was found IN his
Office a week ago unconscious from the
effects of furnace gas, with Mrs. Frank
Carlisle dead near him, testified be
fore the coroner's jury to-day lie
stated substantially that he had gone
to the furnace on Tuesday night, Feb
ruary 25th. about 9 o'clock in the eve
ming alone. that he has no recollection
of seeing any woman about there OF
having any conversation with one.
He remembers being in the Office OF
the furnace, and that the last thing he
can remember that night was the fact
that he was in the Office about an hour
after he reached the furnace. He said
that he had not been drinking any that
night: that he did not know whether
he had been in the back room of the
Office or the middle room. and does not
know whether he locked the door of
the Office or not. He always carried a
key, and thi she still has. He says he
has no recollection of attempting to
telephone TO a physician that night
He said that he remembered nothing
whatever of the woman being in the
Office or how she happened to be there.
In fact, the testimony of Mr.. Thomp-
son did not give the jury much en-
lightenment, and a verdict was rem
dered in the case Of Mrs. Carlisle Of
death by poison from inhaling furnace
gas.

1t is shrewdly pointed out that the
expenditure of about 100000 600 for
coast Notifications proposed in the bill
now before Congress enormous as the
sum is would not be enough by any
means to make the United States COM
pletely bomb-proof After having for
titled all the large cities and manned
the works with troops it would be ne
cessary to fortify the second-class cit
les on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
Then it would become quite as neces-
sary TO erect Notifications and man
them in all the rest of the coast towns
lest they should be exposed to bonn
bardment by the provocations of the
bomb-proof LIMOGES in the large forth
fed cities All this would cost a thou
sand millions rather than a hundred
millions before the work of fortifca-
tion could be completed.
There is strong reason to suspect
that there is more of speculation and
jobbery than patriotism in the proposed
expenditure of vast sums of money for
coast Notifications to meet contingen-
cies of war that under a pacific but
firm policy are not likely to arise.
Should war come. the best defences of
a brave people would be found in the
size and capacity of their navy. rather
than in the extent of their coast forti-
icauons.

Damage.

Damage.
Boston, March with the sUbsi-
dence of the waters, which during Sun
day night, Monday and Tuesday over
whelmed a greater part OF New Eng
land, figures of losses sustained are
coming in and from those received it
is apparent that the total damage in
the section will be considerably more
than 81 100000. This does not include
the wages to thousands OF laboring men
and women through suspension of man
ufacturing and other industries. Six
lives have been lost.
The many financial losses are divid-
ed between the States of Maine, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts,, and
Maine bears about half. New Hamp-
shire has been swept from one end TO
the other, and heavy losses at Manches-
ter and Dover viii bring the total in
that State closely upon a million dol
lars.
Massachusetts. at Lowell and Law
renee and the Merrimack river valley
suffers heavily, but $250000 will prob
ably cover what she loses.
