Minneapolis, Oct. q. Fire at the
Minnesota Transfer, in the Midway
district, about 4 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, proved disastrous to the mem bers
of the st. Paul department, as four
memb ers Of Company No. Is, stationed
at Merriam Park, lost their lives,
while three more members are seri-
3ously injured, and one or two may die.

When the bodies were rescued from
the ruins they showed no signs Of
burning. All were killed BY the fall
ing walls. n 81 III ~ s# f.5s
The fire was bad one from the
start. It broke out in the Hinman
slaughter house at the Minneapolis
end Of the Transfer bridge, and before
the firemen could get control, the
flames spread to other buildings, caus-
ing d total property loss Of nearly
$3.50, 900. 5 53s5 4 +. 4; Ii b. {
The loss of lives was occasioned by
the falling of the walls Of the brick
veneered building Of the McC ormick
Harvester company. The building
was three stories in height and loaded
to the top with implement machinery.
The fremen were using it as point
of vantage, and its collapse came be-
fore anyone could naturally expect it.
The Human slaughter house was q
frame building, covering together with
the killing house, sheds, etc, about
900 square feet. The fire is thought
to be of incendiary origin.
The building of the Northwestern
Lime company was also totally de-
stroyed, causing a loss of $40, 900, and
the loss of the slaughter house, which
was owned by j. M. Robbins, amounts
to $50, 900. The Mccormick loss is about
$50, 900. "a " ,1 ..gs FS
The entire st. Paul department was
at work on the fire, but the nature of
the buildings and the surroundings
made it impossible to keep down the
flames. They spread to the railroad
tracks, and eight empty box cars were
burned. E...'.
Despite the immense amount Of water
thrown on the burning buildings, all
four were burned to the ground.

going up in the air, and were plainly
visible from Minneapolis, although
the fire department. had succeeded in
getting them under control, and they
were prevented from spreading any
farther. 4. sss.ssz 4 @as@s

Washington, Oct. 23.Hon. John
Sherman, former representative in the
house, for long term a member of
the senate, and twice holding cabinet
positions, died at his residence in this
city at quarter before seven o'clock
Monday morning, in the seventy
eighth year of his age. His death had
been expected for some days, and low
ing friends gave him their unremit-
ting care and attention to the end.
The Immediate cause of death was
described as brain exhaustion; incl
dent to extreme weakness due to old
age and to several attacks of sickness
from which he had suffered for the
past year and half. Since Saturday
afternoon Mr.. Sherman had been most
of the time unconscious, rallying par
italy at intervals, when slight nour-
ishment was given him. Sunday after
noon evidences of the approaching
end were manifest and he failed to
regain consciousness after three
o'clock, passing away peacefully just
after dawn broke. About one o'clock
Monday morning he rallied somewhat
from the stupor and turned himself
over in bed, but after that he grad
ually sank until the end came. Dur
ing the day and evening a number of
inquiries were made at the house
concerning the condition OF the sick
man, President Mckinley being
