Ecanaba, Mich, Nov. 3O.-Late last
night a fire broke out on the steamer
Nahanta and before 1t could be con-
troled 1t spread to the ore docks, the
largest in the world. Two of the crew
of the steamer are known to be lost
and several others are injured. The
steamer was lying at the dock loading
ore and was only partially loaded. From
the steamer the fire spread to dock No.
4, which was partly loaded with ore and
lumber. The lumber was soon mass
of flames and from this it spread to the
next dock. AT midnight two docks were
on fire and tremendous efforts were
being made to save the other two which
comprise the group. AT 1870 a. m. the fire
had not been controlled. The loss will
probably reach S350,000.

Catdrrh to
Consumption

Catarrh invariably leads to consump-
ton. Growing worse and WORSE each
winter. those who rely upon the usual
trea ment of sprays, washes and inhal-
Ing mixtures find that it is impossible
to check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the sur
face. The offensive discharge increases
all the while, and gets deeper until it Is
only a question of short time when
the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper treat
ment can therefore be readily appre-
ciated. But no good whatever can be
expected from local applications, as
such treatment never did cure Catarrh,
and never will. Being blood disease
of the most obstinate nature, Swift's
Specific (S.S.S.) is the only remedy
which can have the slightest effect upon
Catarrh. 1t is the only blood remedy
that goes down to the bottom of all stub
born diseases which other remedies
cannot reach.
Mrs. josephine Polhill, of Due West,
S. c., writes:

Catarrh that I lost my hearing in one
ear, and part of the bone in my nose

Chesterfield, Ind, Nov. 27.-An ex-
plosion of nitro-glycerine occurred one
half mile west of this city at 9:1O
o'clock Thursday night. Sixty quarts
of nitro-glycerine were hauled there
for the PURPOSE of shooting a gas well.
The explosive was placed in a large
zinc tub located at the end of steam
exhaust pipe for the purpose of thawing
out the mixture. 1t is the theory that
the tub became overheated, causing an
explosion with disastrous results. A
hole ten feet long ard several in depth
was torn in the earth. The engine was
blown to pieces.
Drillers Haney and Mcclure had q
remarkable escape. They were standing
within thirty feet of the scene of the
accident and were hurled twenty feet
by the force of the explosion. but with
the exception OF a few bruises they
escaped unhurt. Persons a mile away
were lifted from their feet by the con-
cussion and the jar was felt for ten
miles. Fire followed the explosion, but
the flames were quickly extinguished

jury polled on their verdict, but his face
never changed color during the trying
ordeal. With lips firmly compressed
and jaws set hard he faced the judge.
jury and court room full of spectators
with well-feigned stoicism. About three
weeks ago Thorn's first trial on the
charge of murder was begun, but owing
to the illness Of a juror it had to be
abandoned after three days. A second
trial opened week ago last Monday.
and counting out three days on which
the court did not sit the trial consumed
only six days.
His Story Was of No Effect.
Mrs Nack's testimony during the mis-
trial made it compulsory for Thorn's
lawyers to change their line of defense
in the second trial, and they made a
direct charge against Mrs. Mack and in
sisted that her alleged confession was
a lie and that she herself was the insti-
gator and perpetrator of the murder.
Thorn being ignorant of the killing un-
til after Guldensuppe had been shot by
Mrs. Mack. The woman was not pro-
duced during the second trial, but Thorn
went on the stand and substantiated all
the assertions made by the lawyers as
to the midwife's guilt. His story. as the
verdict shows, did not have the desired
effect upon the jurymen.
Jury Deliberated Three Hours.
Judge Maddox's charge was carefully
prepared and well delivered. 1t was &C
knowledged by the lawyers for the pris-
oner to be extremely lucid, fair and i'm
partial The jury remained in delibera-
tion just three hours, when it sent
word to the judge that 1t was ready
to render verdict. The fact of the jury
remaining out so long gave hope to the
defense. But when 1t came in-"Guilty
Of the charge preferred" were the omi-
nous words which fell from the lips of
the foreman of the jury. Thorns law
yers moved for a new trial on the
cordance with the weight of evidence,
but the motion was overruled
Contradiction rs TO a Confession.
When Martin Thorn had been led back
to his cell after the conviction he admit
ted that the verdict was just, and that
he and not Mrs. Mack killed Gulden-
suppe. This acknowledgment of guilt
took place while Thorn's cell in
the Jail was being prepared for
him. He said: II am glad
1t is over and the verdict given. 1 am
convicted and am contented. 1t was
who killed Guldensuppe, and / believe
every word that Mrs. Mack said upon
the stand was substantially correct
When / was on the stand / lied when
telling the story as did. but 1 lied to

any further. j am guilty and am con-
victed. 1t is what expected and what
suppose people think deserve, and
perhaps do"
