Screw Co.'s PIant--A Life Lost.

Cleveland, o., March 25.-Fire broke
out in the japanning department of
the big DangIer Stove and Manufac-
turing Co.'S plant on Perkins avenue,
and Notwithstanding the enormous
quantity Of water poured into the
building by l. engines, the structure,
filled with valuable machinery and
large quantities of manufactured
goods, was practically destroyed.
The high wind which prevailed
caused the fire to spread to the plant
of the Cleveland Machine Co.. adjGin-
ing the Dangler works, and it was
also destroyed. The loss on the Dang
Ter works is conservatively estimated
at $5OO,OOO and on the Cleveland Ma
chine screw plant at $15O,000. The
machine screw works loss is covered by
insurance, while the Dangler COM
pany..s works is only partially insured.
Three hours after the FIRE started a

GEN. COMPTONs MISSION.
1t Is Intimated That He Has Gone to
Honolulu to Seize the Dis
puted Crown Lands.

San Francisco, March 26.-The Cal
says:
THE mission of Gen. Charles F..
Compton to the Hawaiian islands is the
subject of great speculation in federal
circles in this city. Gen. Compton sail
ed on the Alameda. few days ago, for
Honolulu. While no one is in position
to explain authoritatively the purpose
of the distinguished soldiers journey,
it is understood from excellent sources
that he has gone to Honolulu to seize
the crown lands of the former mon
archy. and by authority of the Ameri-
can government settle Il dispute of
ownership that involves property
worth millions of dollars.
1T is something more than a coinci-
dence that Paul Neumann hastily left
Washington a short time ago, and is
now on his way to Honolulu. Neumann
is one of the closest advisers of the ex-
queen, and in any investigation ;sf-
fecting her interests he would be of in

EX-GOV. THOMAS c. FLETCHER.
Fletcher, worn with her husbands i'll
ness, is tonight almost prostratcd, but
her daughter, Mrs. Rartaolnw, of st
Louis, is extending to her al possible
comfort.
Twenty-Five hours before his death
the ex-governor lapsed into uncon-
sciousness, from which the skill of his
physicians were unable to arouse him.
The remains will be laid away in st.
Louis.
Thomas {. Fletcher was born in JEFF
ferson county, Mo-. January %. 1927, a
descendant of an old Maryland family
His father, Clement Is. Fletcher. had
come to Missouri in 1918 to engage in
merchandising. Thomas studied law
and was admitted to the bar in 1857,
meanwhile serving as deputy clerk Of
the county court and later receiving
election as clerk of the circuit court.
An ardent supporter of Benton, lie
began early to take prominent part
in the politics of the state. He was a
delegate to the national conventions
of 1860 and 1865 and he was the first
chairman of the first republican con-
vention ever held in a slave state.
When the war began he espoused the
cause of the Union and served for a
time as assistant provost general at st.
Louis after which he assisted in raising
the Thirty-frst Missouri regiment and
went to the front as a colonel, During
the two years he served in the Army of
the Tennessee with Gen. Sherman.
when he returned to Missouri raised
another regiment and received COM
mission as brigadier-genera hy brevet
While serving in front of Nicksburc
in 1864, Fletcher was elected governor
of Missouri. He thereupon resigned his
army commission. went at orce to JEFF
ferson City and issued the proclama-
ton declaring slavery abolisl ed in Mis-
souri,.
His most difficult and dangerous
task, perhaps, was that of reorganizing
the civil processes after the war Every
county office in the state was declared
vacant and the enormous power fell
upon Fletcher of filling them all by
appointment. During many days and
nights he carried his life in his hands,
but while firm and infiexible, he was
always gOod-natured. so that within
few years after his retirement from Of
flee. hatred against him had disap-
peared, and during his long residence
in st. Louis gained many friends
among all parties.
Several years ago he established an
office in Washington, and it vas there,
on February 20 last, he received
stroke of paralysis, while sitting in
Wizards hotel.
Gov. Fletcher's only child is married
to Mr.. Perry Bartholow, of an old Mis-
souri, family, who was later i'll the con-
sular service in Germany, but now
again citizen and business man of ST
Louis.
