and upholstery, and the loss caused by
water and smoke exceeded 100000.
1t was while almost the entire de-
partment was battling against the fire
at DobSon's that an alarm was sound
ed from Thirteenth and Chestnut
streets. Everybody in Philadelphia
who heard the alarm from this locality,
1nst1nctively cried 'Wanamaker's The
great store covers the entire block
bounded by Chestnut, Market, Thlr-
teenth and Juniper streets, and as the
building was constructed years ago,
many Of the fire proof features Of mod
ern structures are lacking. The fire
men soon found, however, that the
flames had attacked the block opposite
Wanamaker's on the north, separated
from the big store by Market streets
width of 125 feet.
When 1t was apparent that the block
originally attacked was doomed, squads
of firemen, with long lines of hose, were
detailed to try and save Wanamaker'S
This structure, with the goods piled
up within its four walls, represented
money value Of over $10,000,000. De-
spite the efforts of the city firemen, re-
1nforced by Wanamaker's fire brigade,
the high wind prevailing forced the
flames across Market street, after they
had been fought off for an hour and d
half.
The fire caught in the high tower on
Market street corner. This supported
d big clock and chimes which rang out
every half hour. Little patches of
flame made their appearance along
the edge Of the roof of the main struc-
ture, and the excitement among the
f1remen was intense. All knew that If
the flames in Wannamaker's once got
beyond control, there was no telling
a
There was deep sigh Of relief, there
fore, when the announcement was
made that beyond the destruction of
the tower and the scorching of the
paint and woodwork on the Market
street front, and the cracking of the
big plate glass windows, the fire would
not further damage Wanamaker's
DAMAGE HEAVY.
Smoke penetrated almost every pOr-
ton of the store, and the damage to
delicate dry goods from this cause will
be heavy. Had the flames licked up
Wanamakers nothing could pos
sihly have prevented the destruction
of the big buildings on Chestnut street,
which is now closely built.
Mr.. Wanamaker was early on the
scene. AT the present time he employs
4.20C people, and as many men in this
army of employees as would be of use
in fighting the flames were admitted to
the store. The admirable precautions
that the inf1ammable nature Of the
structure had made necessary rendered
the work Of the trained fire brigade
easy, and at the same time effective.
Mr.. Wanamaker said to an Associated
Press reporter at $50 a. M: '"The fire
is confined to the Market street end
of my store, and three hours after the
firemen are out of the place, seven
eighths of the store will be ready for
business"
Mr.. Wanamaker was apparently the
least concerned man in the great crowd
as he quietly made his way from one
part of the establishment to another,
directing the movements Of his en-
ployes. Mr.. Wanamaker does his own
insuring, and his loss is therefore COW
cred in this way.

FARGO, N. D., Jan. 2e.-There is la
BILE to be some fun as the result of the
advent in this city of Teresa Dean,
newspaper correspondent. who is here
for the purpose Of writing up the di-
vorce business, and on the side, rubbing
some of the unscrupulous attorneys,
who, she thinks, are too eager in eff
forts to get clients from the East, and
generally too ambitious for the al
mighty dollar. She is representing the
Chicago Times Herald and New York
World. Last Sunday articles appeared
in both papers, and w. H. Miller, a
well-known attorney in this city, was
the subject discoursed upon. She
turned him over and Drowned him on
every side, even bringing Mr.. Miller's
wife into play, stating she was used by
Miller as a sort Of reception committee
to receive blondes and brunettes from
the East, and see that their stay in
the city Is made pleasant.
Miller will serve complaint on the
Times-H Herald and Teresa Dean for
criminal libel. He stated this after
noon that he will press the suit, asking
100000 for defamation of character.
He states that he can get affidavits
from every judge in the state as to his
professional integrity. The matter has
caused quite a stir in this city, and de-
velopments in the case will be watched
with interest. 1t is supposed that Mil
Ter takes this step at the request Of
Attorney Hildreth, of this city, who, it
is said, will be Teresa's next subject,
believing there may be possibility to
call off the newspaper correspondent.
A warrant was issued for her arrest
this evening and will be served In the

BOSTON, Jan. 26.-Miss Abbie Child
secretary Of the Women's Board of Mis-
sions, has received the following let
frcm Bombay: '"This terrible bubonic
plague Is working fearful havoc in
nearly all branches Of the native COM
munity. Some 900 persons have left
town. The Baroda railway alone has
put on six extra trains a day to pro-
vided accommodations for those leav-

ton here at Byculai there are hun
dreds waiting for an opportunity to
leave by the Great India Peninsula
trains. The people are dazed and ter
rified.
"Dr. Jeddo. the assistant coroner,
says the papers give not a fractional
part Of the facts as to the plague;
that to one burying ground the day
before there had been one hundred
and thirty bodies brought, and they
could not dispose Of them fast enough.
In the Mohammedan burying grounds
bodies are lying four and five in
a grave. And yet with all this about
US, not q native Christian has had
an attack. Eight Europeans, If not
more, have died Of it. At first it
was thought that about 80 per
cent recovered, but later facts from
various sources prove the fatality to
be even greater. Since the death Of a
little girl in one of our schools, the
doctors have ordered all four of our
outside schools to be closed. Our
Christian school, with the two board
Ing departments, had to be closed with
out any prize giving or annual school
exhibitions, and those Of our boarders
who have homes have been sent away.
The rest are here with U.s."

PACIFIC JUNCTION FIRE,

1t Burned Itself Out. .,
OMAHA, Jan. 26-Shortly before Q
o'clock this morning, Pacific Junction,
four miles east Of the river on the Iowa
side, was visited by fire and the whole
business portion of the city was wiped
out. Pacific Junction is q small rail-
road town of between 900 and 800 in
habitants, and is located at the Juno
ton of the main Burlington line run
ming up the east side of the river. The
Burlington has a large depot, valued
at $4,000 and round house Of ten stalls
located in the town. At last accounts
the property Of the company had not
been injured.
The fire originated in a small grocery
store and quickly spread to other frame
buildings. TWenty-three buildings
were consumed. The small fire depart
ment, handicapped by the severe cold,
was almost powerless to combat the
flames. Bucket brigades were formed,
and the people turned out en- masse
and worked upon the blazing struc-
lures. Word was sent to, Plattesmouth
to send fire apparatus, but as the de-
partment in that city was engaged with
trouble at home, ait the time the re-
quest could not be complied with Half
an hour later a message was received
that assistance was not needed, as the
fire had nearly spent itself. The flames
after leaving the main street, spread
into the residence portion and render
ed many people homeless. A number
Of people suffered severely from frozen
ears and frost -butten limbs. The loss
was about $4,000

Woes of the Country the Subject of
Debate In Parliament

LONDON, Jan. 26-The debate on
the address in reply to the speech from
the throne at the opening Of parliament,
a week ago, was resumed in the house
Of commons today. The amendments Of
Sir William Wedderburn, member for
Banfshire, Radical, (who has lived a

over the fifth Indian National congress
at Bombay, calling for a minute, in
dependent inquiry into the condition Of
the masses of India, was rejected by
veto of 217 to 80. Sir William Wedder-
burn contended that the people were in
a state Of chronic destitution and as
serted that the causes were usury; the
system of taxation and the civil courts
which, he added, were unsuitable for
Indian intelligence.
During the debate, Mancherjee Mer-

Grain Stores the Objects of Theft

Many Cattle Dying.

BIJAPUR, Presidency Of Bombay, JAN
26.-The special correspondent of the
Associated Press, who is visiting the
distressed provinces Of India, has ar
rived at Bijapur, about 245 miles south
east Of Bombay, and finds in this dis
trict the keenest distress, especially
among the people Of the lower castles.
These are on the verge of starvation
and are only saved from it by the gov
ernment relief work, which enables
them to earn enough money to at least
keep body and soul together while
awaiting the brighter state of affairs
which recent rains are expected to pro-
vide later in the year.
1t Is estimated that full one-tenth Of
the cattle in this district have already
perished from lack of fodder, and the
loss from this cause will undoubtedly
be considerably increased between now
and the growing Of the new crops. In
the fields can be seen lying numbers Of
carcaSSeS of animals being deVoured by
vultures. There are many gangs Of
robbers engaged in pillaging grain
stores whenever an opportunity arises
and the prisons are full of thieves who
have been captured while stealing grain
or in attempting to do so.
Among the masses there are many
cases Of illness, arising from lack Of
proper nourishment and emaciation
and it is regarded as certain that
cholera will reach this district sooner
or later, owing to the carelessness Of
the people who dread being taken to
the hospitals provided for their care,
believing that they are certain to die
within fortnight If they enter a hos
pital.
Beyond doubt the utmost resources
Of the government will be taxed be-
fore long in the efforts which will have
to be made to cope with the steadily
increasing distress.
