could spell when he tackled the typewriter,
but not in the same way. Now he distinctly
enumerates each letter, and does it, too. with
the greatest care. 1t is a funny thing, but he

in his sleep.

tiers Thursday night. The one has Sc
cured the commander in chief, Col.
James \. Sexton, of Chicago, and the
other the location of the thirty-third
annual encampment of the G. y. Il. at
Philadelphia next year.

rious matters of business had been dis
posed of, and a report from the COM
mittee on pensions had been heard,
the convention proceeded 10 the Sc
lection of place for the next annual
encampment. The contesting cities

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Town of jerome, A. IT,, Is Completely
Wiped 0ut-New Westminster Is
Visited-Other Places.

Prescott. A. T., Sept. 1.-THE town
of jerome, near here, was completely
wiped out Sunday morning by fire, en-
failing loss of over 100000 in prop
erty. Eleven bodies have so far been re-
covered, while a score or more are said
to be in the ruins or missing. The fire
originated from a gasoline stove in
cabin and spread so rapidly and fierce
ly that it was impossible to save even
the clothing. The fire was confined ex-
clusively to the business portion of the
town, and the open space intervening
between it and and the mammoth
works of the United Verde company
saved the latter's plant, otherwise the
loss and suffering would have been ter
rible.
The area of the fire was confined to
a narrow gulch and ravines leading to
it, in which were located substantial
wooden and stone buildings. the latter
melting as rapidly before the flames
as pasteboard. Over $50 residences,
averaging in value $4,000; 25 general
merchandise and other stores, sa-
looms, etc, of all kinds, are wiped out;
in short, not a single business house
remains. The only building to escape
was the Methodist church.
The number of people who are home
less is placed at 1900, and they are be-
ing cared for by Messrs. GirouX and
Allen, of the mining company.
Vancouver, b. c., Sept. 12.-The city
of New Westminster has been visited
by confagration causing the loss of
millions. The fire started about mid
night from a spark from steamer
on the water front. A fierce gale was
blowing at the time. Within three
hours all the buildings along ten
streets were blazing. Handsome
blocks, banks and churches went up in
smoke. Two newspaper offices are
gone. The Canadian Pacific railway
station, three river steamers, the rail-
way bridge, the cathedral and many
private residences are destroyed.
Hundreds of people are homeless and
relief is being rushed from Vancouver.
Two women are reported to have died
from the shock. The telegraph Office
at Westminster has been destroyed.
The loss by fire is roughly estimated
at So, 500, 900, with insurance of 1,500,-
900. The London Assurance company
is said TO be the heaviest loser. The
vaults of the bank buildings withstood
the fire.
Red Bluff. Cal, Sept. 12.-Fire broke
out early Sunday morning on Main
street and before it was extinguished
destroyed an entire block of the finest
buildings in the town. The loss to
property owners will be more than
100000, of which the insurance is
barely half that sum. The origin of
the fire is unknown.
New York, Sept 13.-Fire Monday
night did $4,000 damage in the FIVE
story brick building at 81 Beekman
street, occupied by Leeburger Brothers.
Fourteen firemen were overcome by the
fumes of burning essential oil in the
basement, and had to be carried to the
street, where fresh air and medical at
tention restored them to consciousness.
