side of half an hour, one on the out
side could ;carcely have told there had
been a raging fire within had it not
been for the broken windows and
scorched cases. The wooden cases con-
tanning the oil were burned completely
away, leaving the cans of oil standing
as though they had been piled UP in
tiers, yet there was no explosion after
the first one, and outside of the one
can of gasoline, not can was broken.
When the department reached the
fire, lines of hose were laid and the
streams turned in at the main door.
The pressure was excellent and the
remarkable results achieved were ac-
complished by simply drowning the
flames with a perfect deluge before
they had time to melt the solder of
the cans. 1t was a hazardous piece
of business for the firemen. Had the
cans been melted there would almost
inevitably have been a terrible explo-
sion, at least some of the firemen
must necessarily have been killed and
the whole plant would have been de-
stroyed. The work of the firemen was
highly praised by the company's agent.
Edwin c. Atwater, as he viewed the
interior after the fire was out The loss
to the company will not be heavy. Mr..
Atwater stated that he was unable to
estimate the damage. but said he had
no idea it would amount to more than
few hundred dollars. Owing to the
hazardous nature of the risk no in
surance is carried.
Chief Sanger in speaking of the fire,
said that for once he had been able to
fight without having his men interior
ed with and hindered by crowd of
people. The fire attracted a large num-
Der of people, but they kept at safe
distance.
Coroner Julien was potifad on tho
death of Longstaff and made an inves-
tigation. He will hold an inquest at
Sherman's undertaking rooms this
evening.

INTERESTS TRANSFERRED.
Another Little Chapter in the Davis Es-

announcer LItt1e IN the DaVls
tate Case.
Joseph A. Coram formerly promi-
nent in the affairs of the Butte & Bos-
ton and the Butte City Water company.
and also largely interested in the Davis
estate contest, arrived in Butte yester-
day from the East, his visit being in
connection with matters relating to the
Davis estate.
During the day a deed was filed for
record with the county clerk and re-
corder by which Mr.. Coram and Cora E.
Coram of Lowell, Mass: Ellen s. Cor
nue. and Joshua G. Cornue of Croton
Falls. N. Y; Sarah Marie Cummings
of Ware, Mass, convey to Henry A.
Root all their interests in Montana,
which means the Davis estate, for the
nominal consideration of 81. However,
as the deed bears $3.50 in revenue
stamps, the actual consideration is in
dictated to be at least S19,5O0. The deed
provides, however, that the parties do
not convey their rights to property held
in trust by A. ]. Davis and Charles III.
Palmer, being some money paid to them
as trustees when an order of partial
distribution of the estate was made by
the court some time ago,

SUIT FOR DAMAGES,
For Injuries Received in the Big Powder
Explosion.


Another big suit for damages on ac-
count of personal injuries received by
the great powder explosion of Jan. Is,
1896 has been brought in the district
court The plaintiff is Jose H. Volker
and the defendants are the KENYON
Connell Commercial company, M. ].
ConnelI, w. r. Kenyon, ]. E. Gaylord,
C. H. Palmer, w. B. Tbbey J. H.
Wethey and w. A. Clark. The individ
tees and directors of the Kenyon-Con-
nell company and under recent de-
cision of the supreme court are per-
sonally liable for damages caused by
the unlawful storage of powder in their
warehouse.
volker sues for s17.372.5O damages,
and says in his complaint that on the
night of the explosion he was standing
in the vicinity of the warehouse and
when the explosion occurred he was
struck by some flying missile, which
passed clear through his left arm near
the elbow, shattering the bone and per-
manently manning and injuring him,
for which he demands sl5 900.
In the second cause of action he al
leges that before he received the in
Jury he was a strong and able bodied
man and earned $3.50 day. Since then
he has been unable to do any work ex-
cept of a very light character and for
more than two years, by reason of his
injury has been unable to earn more
than his board. By his inability to per-
form any labor or carry on his former
vocation he has lost s2,372.5O. for which
additional amount he wants Judgment.
The complaint in the case was filed on
June 81, but was kept from the records
at the request of Volker's attorney
who had some hopes of effecting a set
Element with the defendants. Judging
from the fact that the suit was made
public yesterday the expected settle
ment was not made.

Gilmore Rice an Artist,

Speaking OF Elinore Rice, the violinist
who is in the city for the purpose of
giving recital here, the East O:egonian
Gays:
''He is able to claim the distinction
of having studied under the great Hun
garian vioIinist, Edouard Remenyi,
whose name bears sacred quality
among all who are devoted to the art.
"Mr. Rice is young man, and yet
alone ahd unaided excepting by the
accom- panist, he charms his audience
and holds close attention to the program
of difficult compositions which he ren-
ders. Listened to with reference to the
perfection of tecnique, the intelligence
of Interpretation, the manifestation OF
the soul OF the true mueician,' Mr.. Rice
comes from the test with only favorable
criticism.
Judging from his performance here,
he has before him brilliant future.
He may be looked for to win place the
most distinguished. It is not to be con
sidered from this that it il intended to
intimate that his playing is not now oi
moet excellent order. In any city, IN
deed, he would rank highly, and be
classed among the artists"
