More Poisoned candy.

Omaha, Neb., April 13.-A special
to the Bee from Hastings, Neb.,
says:
An attempted poisoning case on the
lines of the Adams case of New York
occurred today. An unknown per-
son left at the studio of Mrs. c. f.
Morey a box of bonbons with the
card of a prominent society woman
attached. Mrs. Morey ate freely of
the candy, as cid several OF her lady
friends. Later, the lady whose card
was attached to the box called and
Mrs. Mercy thanked her, but the
lady said she did not send them.
Mrs. Morey and the other women
who ate the candy were soon taken
sick and narrowly escaped death.
The case is shrouded in mystery.

when light, and 3. 400 tons when ready
for cruise. That is slightly larger
than the Raleigh and the Cincinnati,
which are of 5000 tons.
The speed is fixed at 1616 knots, or
az knots per hour less than the Ra-
leigh, but this deficiency is more than
made up by the large steaming radius
of the new ships. At full speed, they
can steam without replenishing the
coal bunkers for $500 knots, while at
the rate of 10 knots they can cover
6,925 miles, or the entire distance
from San Francisco to Manila. Water

power each, placed in separate COM

big FIRE At DAWSON CITY
Property Loss Estimated at
$1,00O,OO0.
DRUNKEN WOMAN UPSET LAMP
People Became Panic Stricken and
Were Unable 20 save Anything
Building Material Scarce.

Y loria, 3. c., May 23. The main
portion OF the city Of Dawson was de-
stroyed by fire on April 20, causing
loss Of $1,000, 900. In all. Ill build
ings, including the British North
America bank, were buried. The news
was brought down by T. S. Humes,
son Of Mayor Humes, of Seattle; J.
Toklas and a third party, who left
Dawson April %. and made their way
out by canoe to Lake Lebarge, and then
over the ice, having most perllous
trip.
Toklas reports that the fire occurred
in the very heart of the business center
Of the city, beginning near the opera
house. on the water front. an d spread
ing with unusual rapidity. 1t was
driven by strong north wind, destroy
ing everything in its way on that street
down to and including Donahue q
Smiths establishment.
The fire then took in all of the water
front buildings abreast of the same
blocks. 1t crossed the street, burned
through and spread over to Second
street, covering the principal business
portion of Dawson, leaving it all in
ashes, with the tifemen helpless and
powerless to do anything.
The fire consumed everything from
Timmin's Royal cafe down to and
opposite the Fairyiew hotel, the build
ings being as dry as timber. The
flames spread with such rapidity that
the people became panicstricken and
unable to save anything in the way of
furniture. goods and clothing. Among
the most prominent Of the firms burned
out were the Bank Of British North
America, the Canadian Bank of Com
merce, Mcclellan & McFeeley, Of Vic

tbs Aurora saloon, the Bodega, the
Madden house, the Victoria hotel. the
Mcdonald block and the California ex-
change.
There is a famine in all kinds of
building material as result OF the
fire. The few articles still remaining
outside of the burnt district have quad
rupled in prices. Doors are selling for
$35 each, d rloeks $S each, and every
thing else in proportion. Nothing in
the way of rebuilding cen be done un-
til the opening of navigation, several
weeks from now. as there is not over
5000 feet of lumber in the place.
The fire was caused by a drunken
woman upsetting lamp in a disorderly
house.
None OF the big warehouses were
touched by the fire. so there will be no
shortage OF provisions, even il the lakes
should not open before the middle OF
June, which is now predicted.
Provisions have not advanced in
price, nor clothing. the companies be-
ing determined apparently to do all in
their power to relieve the general dis
tress. A conservative estimate of the
loss is $1,OOO,O00. This is based on
Klondike valuations. This is the third
large fire that visited Dawson.
