II Samson's digestion had been out Of

probably have been different story to tell

are calculated to test their strength and en-.
durance fullyas much, II not more, than the

big fight being pulled off, was held
yesterday between Martin Julian, rep

after strenuously objecting upon the
right of the referee making any rul-

the ring and against the hitting with
one arm free and in breakaways, gave
way entirely and consented that the
men should hit with the one free arm
and on the breakaways. The fight
will therefore be fought in accordance

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 10. Reports
from the big storm OF Thursday have
been coming in faster than the rail-

buried beneath ten to fifteen feet Of
snow, and the drifts are miles in
length.
An Ashland, Wis, special says; 1t Is
rumored that numerous lives were lost
in the great blizzard that swept the
shore Of Lake Superior Thursday
night. The storm came from the north
west, piling the ice 50 feet high on the
Apostle islands, and other points on
the south shore Of the lake. The snow
in the streets of Ashland is from four
to six feet deep. Railway traffic is al

CHICAGO, March l2.-The democratic
city convention was held yesterday.
The Altgeld adherents were in control
both in the committee on resolutions
and in the convention, but neverthe.
less vigorous fight was made on the
financial plank. The platform, as pre-.
sented by the committee, made no di.
rect reference to free silver coinage,
but ascribed the prevailing business
depression to the present monetary
system, which it condemned, and
ended by lauding William j Bryan and
ex-Gov. Altgeld. Municipal reform
was advocated. The document com.
mitted the party to franchise compen.
sation. the anti-department store
movement. and also advocated civil
service reform. Carter Harrison, Dr.,

ex-rival, A. 5. Trude, and the nomina.
ton was made by reclamation.

Many Lives Imperiled In Saginaw Bay
jackson and Walling VIII Not Hang
Together-Three Men Are
Burned to Death.

CHICAGO, March 13.-Fire broke out
yesterday evening in the building oc-
cupied by the John A. Tolman COM
pany, wholesale grocers, at the corner
of Michigan avenue and Lake street.
and, driven by strong northwest
wind, soon spread to the upper stories
of the building of 10, IL and IA Lake
street, occupied by Chase 4 Sanborn's
coffee and spice house. When the fire.
men arrived, the flames had spread
throughout the entire upper part Of
the building in which it had started,
and was rapidly eating its way to the
southwark. Second and third alarms
were at once turned in, which were
supplemented by special call for ten
engines, but despite the efforts Of the
6remen, the flames spread rapidly for
a time. On the Michigan avenue side
the tiremen were badly handicapped
by the loss OF the water tower, which
fell into the flames on account Of some
accident to the steering apparatus.
AT one time during the progress Of the
fire explosions of canned goods caused
much excitement and gave rise to
the rumor that quantities of fireworks
were stored in the buildings. After
three hours hard work the fire was
gotten under control. The stock of
the Tolman company, which was
valued at S4OO, 200, will probably be a
complete loss. Chase & Sanborn's stock
was valued at $l75,OOO. but with the
exception of the destruction Of a stock
of tea on the top floor their loss will
not be heavy. Both firms were fully
insured.
CARRIED OUT ON AN ICE FL0E.
SEEwAlNG, Mich, March 13.-The
heavy wind yesterday broke up the ice
on Saginaw bay. One hundred and
fifty fishermen, Of whom about half
are from Bay City, were on the ice
about four miles from shore. Mostly
all escaped to Maison and Lone Tree
islands. 1t is reported that five men
from Bay City are on the ice, and have
been carried out with the foe. The
wind has shifted to the northwest, and
will probably bring the ice back. 1t
is very cold About $500 worth of nets
and 20 shanties were carried out from
the settlement near here. Last year
about 80 men were carried out, but
were rescued by boats after being on
the ice two days.

difficulty and the steam railway lines

several points north and west of st.
