Seattle, Wash, March 9.-Passengers
on the steamer Humboldt, which ar
rived here early this morning from
Taiia and Skaguay, Alaska, bring the
news that on the night of March 3rd
q fire occurred Mt Taiie in which it is

The fire broke out in the EVERY
ones Home" hotel, completely destroy
ing the hotel and an adjoining saloon
and dance hall. over twenty persons
were sleeping in the hotel.
The bodies of Bert Meek of Portland
and Russels OF Juneau have been
taken out. a man named Keller was
still alive, but he was not expected to
live. The body of an unknown wo-
man had also been recovered. 1t was
thought that the remains of two more
men were in the ruins.
The fire occurred a short time be-
fore the Humboldt left that place,
go that full particulars could not be
obtained.
The Humboldt brought eleven
passengers from Dawson and over
$500 900 in gold and drafts. The Daw-
son men are two brothers named Saw
age. MIR. Brandt, J. Solid, j. l.. Pierce,
William Perdue, u. j. Mccormack, Il.
$. Mason, A. Bartlett, W. II. Herman
and n. Il. Peters.
Fire broke out on the steamer
Whitelaw while dischargng her car
go, but beyond the destruction of some
hay In which the fire originated no
damage was done.
The schooner Bessie Is. arrived at
Skaguay last Friday evening with her
cargo intact.
The last ones to leave Dawson We're
Pardue. Solid. Herman and Pierce.
They left February 9TH, and made the
trip out in twenty-four days. Very
cold weather was experienced. Mr..
Solid, whose home is in ColfaN, Wis,
says that when he left Dawson there
were between twenty and forty cases
of scurvy there. He could not tell how
many were sick along the creeks. He
knew of no death from the disease.
Provisions at Dawson are now selling
at regular summer rates, and there is
very little demand.
Concerning the new strike made on
Walsh creek. near the big Salmon
river Mr.. Solid said the first dirt
panned out ran from 80 to 20 cents per
pan. The pay streak had not been
reached yet. Thirty-two claims had
been located.
Between Lake Lebarge and Lake
Marsh many people Were met slowly
working their goods down the river. At
the mouth of Sixty-Mile creek they met
Il man and his wife who had been
thirty days coming from the Hootalin-
qua river to SixtyMile.

The Dlscoverer Of CollOdion.


The dlscoverer of collodion died in
Dcdham Saturday, notes the Boston
Herald. He was DR.. John Parker May
nard, who had been the leading physi-
clan there for many years. This dis
covery was made while DR. Maynard
was still n medical student He had
the conception In his mind at that time,
and engaged In series of experiments
IN n little building which he erected
outside Dedhum village and finally
brought them to success. His object
was the application of collodlon to
operations in surgery. and he demon
strated its usefulness here by applying
II in lSi7. He had sought TO aid surgery
In this way rather than 20 achieve
peclniary advantage, ana hence gave
collodion without price TO the medical
profession. DIR, Maynard was a modest
man. and never asked credit for him
self for what he had done. He thought
that any advantages that came from it
should be the property OF his profess
sion in the interests OF human suffer
ing. Colodion has grown into much
wider use since that time, but 1t is
probable that there is less general
knowledge Of the man to whom the
world owes its production. DR.. May
nard was never forward In enlightcn-
ing them ns to the facts Of is orglna-
ton. He died at the age of 81, after a
long and useful and most honorable
career in surgical and medical practice.

Washington, March 9.-Secretary Bliss
has rendered decision modifying one
made by the general land office In the
case of Gov. John Brady of Alaska land
