Blood has completed taking the evidence
In the inquest to ascertain the cause Of
the deaths OF Phineas Morris and the
six young lady students who perished in
the fire which destroyed the Normal
school Dec. Il.
Mrs. Alice Sujak was the star witness
of the days session, as she testified that
on the Saturday before the school burned
she tried to open the screen before the
north fire escape, and was unable to do
SO because wooden button over the
hook holding the screen in place had
swollen so it could not be moved. She
told Miss May Hayward, the dormitory
housekeeper, of the danger the girls were
in should fire break out.
DIR. Francis Il. Palmer, principal, was
recalled to the stand. and gave general
summary Of the cause Of the fire and the
combination of circumstances which re-
suited in the loss Of life. He said; "To be-
gin with. the ianitors did not alarm the
sleeping students either by crying fire,
whistling up the speaking tube, or ring
ing the big fire bell. Those who perished
at the fire escape had other means of es-
Gaping which they did not employ, as
those who escaped did. That Janitor
Morris did not use the chemical fire ex-
tinguisher in the basement was terrible
mistake. | am convinced at the time he
knew Of the fire the chemical would have
saved the building had he used it. Then
the repOrt circulated at the fire every
body's out prevented willing rescuers
from entering the building. All in all,
the series Of blunders and delays that
morning are to blame for the loss of
human beings"

After a Vain Pur.uit OF Health For

CHICAGO. Jan. Phillip d. Armour
died at his residence in Prairie avenue
in this city at 5:45 O'Clock Sunday.
The end came after two years Of illness,
during which time Mr.. Armour visited
German baths, passed the cold months in
Southern California and devoted himself
largely to an attempt to restore his
helath, which, however. had been broken
never to be regained.
Mr.. Armour had lost strength steadily
from day to day since the commencement
of the winter. The pneumonia was
checked. but strength was not regained,
The firm grip he had 50 long maintained
upon the business Of Armour & Co.,
whether at the Office or thousands Of
miles away, slowly relaxed. The sud.

ing the closing months of his life. In
fact he never recovered from the shock
he experienced from that event II
stopped his progress towards recovery in
his winter home at Pasadena, and its
sorrow remained fresh until the end.
Estimates Of Mr.. Armours own estate
run from Sl0O00,O00 to S25,000,0OO.
This of course does not include the Sl5.
100000 or S20,0O0,000 owned by the
younger members of his family. For
years every enterprise he was interested
in had been making immense profits.
His holdings Of stock have all advanced
largely during the last three years.
Mr.. Armour married Miss Malvina
Belle Ogden, daughter Of Jonathan Og-
don Of Cincinnati in October 1862. They
have had two children-Philip ID. Ar
mour, Jr., who died a year ago, and ].
Ogden Armour, who seems destined by
character, training and circumstances,
to succeed his father as the head of the
Armour house.
