The factory of the Wisconsin Carriage
company was totally destroyed by fire
early this morning The loss was $780,
QUO. with only Il partial insurance OF
about $4,000. 1t was the most dlsas-
trous and tierccst fire that has ragged in

wind or less efficient fire service, it
would have swept the entire vicinity. AS
1t was, 1t looked for Il time as though

Is just across the street, would surely be
destroyed also. The carriage warehouse
in the rear of the factory was saved. The
origin of the fire is unknown. There was
over $4,000 worth of stock in the fac
tory.
Until this week the force has been
working night as we'll as day to get out
the orders and they were still about 100
orders behind. An immense amount of
work has been sent out this year, over
900 orders having been filled since the
first of January. 1t is one of the leading
enterprises of the city, and the ire is Il
public loss as well as a private calamity.
The building and its contents were COM

TWO GIRLS ARE DROWNED.
A Shocking Accident at Gifford's,
On Oconomowoc Lake.
BODIES ARE RECOVERED
Servants in A. J. Aikens' Family
Lose Their Lives-Got Be
yOnd Their Depth.

OcOnOmowOc, Wis, June IA shock
ing accident occurred at Gifford's last
night when Louise Boisclaire and Josie
Pruess, the maid and cook in the fami-
ly of Mr.. and Mrs. A J. Aikens OF Mil
Waukee, were drowned in Oconomowoc
lake, not far from the shore.
Mrs. Aillens had spent the day in Chi
cago, and the maid had put her little boy
to bed. Mr.. Aikens was sitting on the
porch, when the two young women came
out and asked if they might go down to
the dock and go in bathing. Mr.. Aikens
consented and remained alone in charge
Of the cottage.
1t was then about half past s. When
an hour later they had not returned Mr.
AikenS became somewhat uneasy, think
ing they were remaining out too late and
went to the back porch to see If they had
come in without his noticing it. Not
finding them he called to them, but re-
ceived no answer. His stepson came III
about 10 O'Clock and saying he had seen
nothing of the girls, started at once for
the dock to look for them. A few mo-
ments later the coachman who had driven
to the station to meet Mrs. Aikens, who
was returning from Chicago, reached the
cottage and Mr. AikenS at once sent him
also in search of the girls.
The clothes of the two young women
were found in the bath-hOuse and they
were nowhere to be seen. Everyone was
now thoroughly alarmed. Lanterns were.
secured and the men going out III boat
found both bodies in deep water and not
very far from the shore. Both women
were dead. The coroner was called and
the bodies sent to Oconomowoc.
Louise Boisclaire, the maid, was about
20 years old and belongs in Milwaukee.
1t is said her relatives live ON Twenty
fifth street in that city. The cook, Josie
Preuss, was about "A and formerly lived
on the south side in Milwaukee. Her
father, it is said, recently moved to Pitts
burg
The water becomes very deep near the
shore and Mrs. Aikens had cautioned the
girls to be very careful if they went i'll
bathing, having pointed out to them the
dangerous places.
Just how the accident happened no one
will ever know. But it is probable that
one of the girls suddenly stepped off into
the deep water and that the other went
to her assistance, both thus losing their
lives, as neither could swim.

BRYANT WILL RESIGN.
The Dean of the Law School Of
University of Wisconsin
will Retire.

Madison, Wis, June 15.--[Special j
The announcement IS made here that
Gen. E. e. Bryant, dean Of the school
of law of the University of Wisconsin,
will resign his position as the head of
the law department shortly. Mr.. Bryant
is president of the Wisconsin Bar asso-
citation and was attorney for the United
States postal department when Senator
Villas was postmaster general. He has
been dean of the law school for about
eleven years. Tue announcement has
caused general sorrow among the stu
dents and alumni and an effort will be
made to persuade him to come back next
year. The general attributes his intend
cd resignation to his advancing age and
the delicate health of Mrs. Bryant.
Charles Noble Gregory, the assistant
dean, is quite generally considered the
most likely successor to the office. Sena-
tor w. F. Villas has often been mentioned
in connection with the position i'll such
an event.
John NJ. Olin, of whom it was reported
that he would leave the law school on
account of changes made by the regents,
will probably be back next fall.

Great Foreign Trade.

An expectation Of forty million dol
lars'' worth of manufactures in thirty
days is a record unparalleled for Amer
lean manufactures. That is the record
for the month Of April, 1900. The de-
tails of the April exportations-just
completed by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics-show that the expectation
Of manufactures during that month
were by far the greatest of any month
in our history, and within fraction of
forty million dollars. This gives as
surance that the exports of the fiscal
year, which ends with June, will con
siderably exceed 400 million dollars
and be nearly three times as much as
decade ago. This phenomenal in
crease in expectation Of manufactures
is especially striking when compared
with the progress made by European
nations, our rivals, in the attempt to
supply the worlds market with manu-
featured goods. Great Britain's eX-
ports of manufactures show but slight
increase since 1890, and an examina-
ton of the export record of the prin-
cipal European countries fails to dis
close an instance in which the increase
has been as much as % per cent, while
that Of the United States. meanwhile,
has been more than $50 per cent.
