Late yesterday afternoon fire in the
five-story brick building, 317-319 First ave-
nue. north, occupied by Mcdonald Bros,
dealers in crockery, glassware and kin
dred goods, did about 5000 damage. OF
this amount about $500 damage was done
to the building itself, while the balance
of the loss will be upon the stock. The
loss is protected by an insurance of S13,-
900 placed on the building, which IS own
ed by Eastern parties, represented by E.
A. Merrill The stock in this building
and the adjoining building, also occupied
by Mcdonald Bros, is insured for about
100000
The basement of the building was
stocked with original packages of shades,
white crockery and crates Of fresh straw
James Thornton, a packer, was in the
basement yesterday afternoon with
lighted lantern. In some way Thornton
stumbled and fell, breaking the lantern
and setting fire to some loose straw,
which quickly communicated to the
crates. Owing to the inf1amable con-
tents of the basement the fire spread rap
idly, and when the department arrived
dense smoke was pouring up out of the
basement. For short time it looked as
though the fire would make its way to
the upper floors and the water tower was
placed in position and connected with
hose in preparation for bad fight. The
great quantity of water poured into the
basement had the effect of drowning the
fire, however, and within half an hour
the fire was practically out, having failed
to get above the first floor.

TWO CLAIMANTS.
There Are Rivals for the Estate Left
by Jennie Jones.


A private detective by the name Of
Charles Brown, said to be working for a
firm Of Minneapolis attorneys, Is expect
ed to arrive in company with William c.
Colvin, an East st. Louis teamster, who
is to file claim as legal heir to the
estate Of Jennie Jones, who lived on
Main street, valued at some So, 900, Of
which $4,000 Is in cash.
Colvin claims that in infancy he was
adopted by a st. Louis family named
Cox, at the request Of Judge Colvin. of
st. Louis. He ran away at the age of
nine, and is now married and has four
children. He bore the name of Clarke
until three years ago, when he adopted
the name of Colvin. He is said to have
possession of letters written him fire.
Quently by Jennie Jones, who signed her
self as Clarke and inclosed remittances
Those who knew Jennie Jones say they
were never aware that she had a SON.
She has an adopted son, now fifteen years
OF age, whom she took charge of when he
was two years old, and it is said that
| while she is known to have made wills
leaving her property to this adopted son
none OF them can be found. Afer her
death a we'll known Minnea politan was

nothing of the existence of this Colvin.
but states that If he has the letters
claimed authenticity of the handwriting
can be easily proved. The woman was
forty-seven years old at the time of her
death, and, according to Colvin, she
would have been but seventeen at the
time of his birth. While by no means i'm
possible, this is regarded as improbable.

OMAHA, Dec. 13-Gov. Poynter has
appointed ex-senator Allen to fill the
senatorial vacancy caused by the death
Of Hayward
Last night Gov Poynter wired ex-Sen-
ator Allen to come to Lincoln for con-
ference. Allen came down from his home
at Madison, and went Immediately to
the CAPITOL and he and the governor were
clCseted in the latter's private room for
some time. When the conference was
over Gov. Poynter announced that he
had decided to appoint the ex-senator to
the place, and that his commission would
be made out as speedily as possible The
newly appointed senator announced his
intention Of proceeding to Washington at
once and assume the duties of his office.
1t is announced that the appointment
Of Allen was made certain by the receipt
of a telegram from w. J. Bryan by the
governor, in which Bryan urged that good
faith and party eXpediency demanded
Aliens appointment. In announcing the
appointment of Allen the World-Herald
publishes the following card from its
proprietor:
To the many earnest friends who so
generously and enthusiastically support
ed me in my recent candidacy for the
senatorial appointment at the hands Of
the governor, herewith tender my
thanks. L cannot honestly deny that
have been deeply disappointed, and 1 feel
most keenly the sting of ingratitude, but
above all l have been deeply moved BY
the unexpected and almost unanimous
support of the people or DOH IS county
and the generous Endorsement of repre-
sentative men In all parts of Nebrask
Colbert H. Hitchcock"
INDORSED BY BRYAN.
AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 13.-When asked
by an Associated Press correspondent as
to what he thought Of Mr.. Aliens ap-
pointment as senator from Nebraska,
Mr.. Bryan replied:
Il think the appointment Of Mr. Allen
ought to give universal satisfaction He
made good record in the senate, and
last year had the unanimous support Of
the fusion members of the legislature
1 think that in making this appointment
the governor acted wisely. There are
several Democrats in the state who would
have filled the office acceptably, but the
fact that Allen was last year the choice
of all three parties makes him the logical
man for the place. 1 have no doubt that
a Democrat will be chosen next year to
succeed Senator Thurston, and that will
give our state Populist and 4 Democrat
II the senate.
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec 13.-Gov. Poyn-
ter tonight refused to confirm the report
that William j. Bryan had dictated the
appointment of Allen to the vacant SEN
atorship. The governor made his state
ment in a guarded manner, but he said
that he had heard from Mr.. Bryan since
the appointment and that Mr.. Byran
had expressed great satisfaction with
the selection of Allen. Gov. Poynter
tonight gave out statement for publica-
ton, in which he says the appointment
was made in response to the wishes of a
majority of the people of the state.
which also are in accord with his own
prediction in the matter For Mr..
Hitchcock, the governor said, he had the
warmest of feeling.

WARD & WATSON INDICTED.
Grand Jury Has Charged Them witt,
EmbczzIement

Ward and Watson, the Napoleons Of
finance, who initiated the Minneapolis
public into the mysteries Of "Arbitrage. ."
have been indicted by the grand jury in
the charge of embezzlement. In nearly
every instance the sucker signed paper
which made him special partner in the
firm, and there was no recourse for him.
In one case, however, this little formality
was dispensed with and a man who put
in something like 81, 500 for investment re-
ceived a receipt and signed no contract.
Ward Watson were to buy stocks for
him but they did not, and hence are
charged with embezzlement. The man
who lost the money, by the way is en-
ployed in a Minneapolis bank, and has
garnisheed the bank deposit Of $500 or so
which the "arbltrage" people neglected to
withdraw when they left town. He seems
to be likely to be the only man who will
save anything from the wreck.
