The carpet. drapery and furniture
establishment of It. Jeffery & Co,
623-625 Nicollet avenue, was visited by
a damaging fire yesterday afternoon,
which was subdued only. after an OBJ
tstinate fight. 1t was difficult to secure
an approximate estimate of the dam
age wrought because of the miscal-
lanecuS assortment of valuable goods
at the place most fiercely attacked by
the flames. The almost brilliant check
given the element by the department
in the face of the obstacles unusually
trying and which tended to induce
alarming results, confined the loss to
possible $4,000 limit. The flames
being located near the center of the
building water was thrown from with
out on the fire in insufficient guam
titles. Once within, the firemen quick
ly brought 1T under control
There We're twelve people in the store
when the flames We're discovered, and
they all made a hasty exit leaving
their outer wrappings behind. Arthur
Jeffery had a hard time making his
Way to the outer air through the
smoke, and cut his hand slightly on a
piece of glass. With that exception no
other casualties were reported.
The building is owned by Elias Fit
terling, who is at present in San Fran
cisco. The agent is Attorney Fred
Rogers, who could not be found to
secure the amount Of insurance on the
structure. The damage done it would
not exceed 81 900. AS to the loss to
the contents opinion is uncertain. The
firm places 1T at $4,000, divided as fol-
lows: Furniture, $1O,00O draperies,
$4,000; carpets and rugs, $25, 900. Fire
Marshal Pierce would not give a posi-
tive opinion. He was prevented
through other business in examining
the damaged goods in detail, as will
be done later. From a casual view he
did not think the loss would exceed
$25,000 The total insurance on the
stock could not be learned, as the
books of the firm were locked away.
1t Is said to be quite large. e
The origin Of the fire remains un-
explained. In careful investigation Of
the basement last evening the only
plausible theory was an electric wire.
Lighting of this nature was supplied,
and from one of the wires Is thought
to have started the blaze
The residence of Capt. John Chase,
607 Seventh street southeast, was dam
aged by fire yesterday simultaneously
with the Jeffery fire. The blaze orig
mated through defective furnace,
and before being controlled did 81 900

SAN JUAN DEL SUR, Nicaragua, March g.
At is expected that ethe peace commission
will reach Leon today but in the opinion Of
well Informed people at Rivas, the conditions
Of President Zelava will not turn out to pe
acceptable to the rebels. EsOfficers who have
arrived here from the scene of war say that
with the exception of AIatagalpa practically
nothing has been gained so far by either
party. The government is said to be very
short of ammunition, and Is only trying to
hold the positions occupied until supplies of
ammunition, which are on their way to
Nicaragua. arrive. This combined with the
distrust felt at the genuineness of the as
ststance of the conservatives makes the posi-
uon of President Zelays's government very
critical. and fears are. entertained that in
case of the failure Of the peace negotiations
Guatemala will render armed assistance to
the Leonists, in which case general Central
American war is regarded as inevitable The
chief points Of the terms offered to the rebels
by President Zelaya are absolute surrender
OF all their arms, the payment of all war
expenses and the surrender for trial by court
martial of their military chiefs.
