FATAL FLAMES.
Offices of Boston Advertiser
and Record-Three Men suno-
cated-Many Injured.

Boston, March 16. Three lives
sacrificed, nearly a dozen men more
Dr. less injured, and many thousands
of dollars damage were the results
of a fierce fire in the Daily Advertiser
and Record seven-story granite front
building in Newspaper row Friday
night. The dead are: James Rich
ardson, ST., proof reader, of Boston;
Judson Craft, proof reader, of Cam
bridge; Walter Luscombe, proof read
er, of Salem. How the fire started is
not known, but it was first seen in
the pressroom and it spread to the
elevator wall and darted to the top
so rapidly that before the occupants
of the two upper floors were aware
that the building was on fire their
rooms were filled with flames and
smoke.
In the editorial room on the sixth
floor there were but five men. All
had to run for their lives. On the
upper floor, occupied by the compos-
ing-room, we're 1s compositors and
proof readers, whose situation was
most critical. Panic-stricken, they
rushed for the windows leading TO
the fire escapes, and all but three of
them succeeded in gaining the roof
of an adjoining building. Long lad
ders were raised as quickly as the
network of wires over the street
would permit, but before a ladder
could be placed in position the men
had dropped through a skylight in
the building roof and reached places
of safety. Except in the pressroom
in the basement there was practically
nc fire in the building below the
fifth story. No one was in the press
room at the time the fire started eX-
cept the fireman, who had not been
seen up to a late hour.

Canton, O., March 16.-President and
Mrs. Mckinley and party reached
Canton shortly before IL o'clock Fri
day morning, the regular train haul
ing their two special coaches being
nearly an hour late.
They were met at the station by a
number of old friends acting as a re-
ception committee, including M. G..
Barber, Mrs. McKinley's brother-in-
law, John c. Deuber, Judge Baldwin,
Postmaster Frease, Henry Wharter,
Julius Whiting, Jr., Mai. Charles r.
Miller and Burt A. Miller. The pres
ident and Mrs. Mckinley, Secretary
Cortelyou and DR.. RiXey went direct
to the Barber residence, the old home
of Mrs. Mckinley, where Mrs. McKin-
ley will remain until the return to
Washington, and the president, until
he starts for Indianapolis Saturday.
There was no special demonstration
at the station, but in spite of the in
clement weather a number of people
were at the station and with these the
president exchanged most cordial
greetings. Mrs. Mckinley recognized
many acquaintance and greeted them
with cordial smiles as she was assisted
through the station to the car just in
waiting.
President Mckinley and Secretary
Cortelyou will leave for Indianapolis
at 9:24 o'clock tonight and will reach
that place early Sunday morning.

TRADE REVIEW.
The situation Appears to Leading
Commercial Agencies TO Be
Growing Brighter.

New York, March 16.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: Improving
whea: crop reports, a pig iron production
seldom exceeded, strong cash prices for all
iron and steel products that can be de-
livered, heavy grain exports at good prices,
activity in minor industries and a money
market that imposes no hardship upon
business comprise the bright side of the
picture his week. Threatening labor trou-
bles seem more remote. Steel mills are still
much behind in their orders and contracts
for Bessemer pig for Jaly delivery indicate
that the activity is not considered tempo
rary. Yet the wide difference in quotation
between immediate and distant dates sug-
gests some fear hat present high prices
cannot be maintained. While the various
pools and associations are extremely con-
sentative about advancing nOminal list
prices, actual business continues to be
transacted at premiums which vary ac-
cording to the urgency of the purchasers.
Prospects for a good winter wheat yield
are considered bright. Official reports of
supplies on the farms March l showed the
expected loss compared with last year, but
a good gain over recent years prior to
1899.
Failures for the week were 29 in the
United States, against 1870 last year, and
81 IN Canada, against % last year"
BraSstreets says: The general situa-
ton Is without important change, the
events OF the week appearing to accentuate
heretofore prevailing conditions. Distrib-
utive trade and speculation in securities
continue large in volume, with prices rising
In the more favored industries or droop-
ing IN those suffering from depression. As
types Of these movements the iron and cot
ton goods industries are preeminent, and
these two seem like opposite poles, so
marked is the difference in trade feeling
and conditions. In most other Industries
the reports are quite favorable, notable
III this direction being the lumber, leather
and hardware and implements trades.
Western and southern distributive trade
reports are quite favorable and the re-
ports of active demand for dry goods and
clothing at the west contrast sharply with
the reports Of dull business and the re-
ceding prices of print cloths. bleached cot
tons and other fabrics at first hands. Rail-
way returns continue highly favorable,
confirming reports heretofore published
OF activity in general shipping and reports
of a shortage of cars, a strange one at this
time of year, come from Chicago and other
large centers. Clearings are Of heavy vol
ume, and In this, as in nearly all other
measures Of trade Improvement, present
records sur2ass all previously recorded for
this season of the year"

FLOOD IN
Ice Goes Out of st. Joseph River
Much Damage Done Between ST.
Joe and Benton Harbor.

st. Joseph, Mich, March 16.--The ice
went out of the St. Joseph river, and
the result is a food that has mum
dated the lowlands between this city
and Benton Harbor, where many man
u%facturing concerns are, to a depth
of several feet. The water is still ris-
ing rapidly and approaching very near
to the tracks of the electric roads con-
Meeting the w cities. Many small
buildings on the flats have been
washed away and are floating down
toward the lake. The summer resort,
Somerleyton, seven miles up the river,
where there are a score of fine cot
tages and a hotel, is in danger of be-
ing washed away. During the night
water surrounded all the buildings
and the caretakers were forced to
take to rowboats. The meadows
hereabouts are flooded to a depth of
five feet in some places.

SHOT BY CASTELl ANE.
Editor of Figaro Wounded i'm Duel
with the Husband of Anna
Gould.

Paris, March 1S.-Count Boni de
Castellane and M. de Rodays, editor
Of Figaro, fought their duel in the
Pare des Princes at three o'clock Sat-
urday afternoon. There was only
one exchange of shots. NJ. de Rodays
was wounded in the ieshy part of
the right thigh. Count de Castellane
was unframed. M. de Rodays' wound
is not believed to be serious. The
bullet has not yet been extracted,
however, and the surgeons are re-
serving their opinion as to the prob
able result. Hemorrhase set in some
time after the wound was inflicted.
but was soon stopped. The duel was
the outcome of the incident last
Wednesday, when Count de Castel-
lane assaulted NJ. de Rodays at the
latter's apartments for having inti-
mated that he (Castellane) was the
man who exposed Paul Deroulede's
proposed coup d'etat to the duke of
Orleans.
The duel occurred in the velo-
drome in the Pare des Princes at
Neuilly. The most careful precau-
tions had been taken to avoid the
intrusion of any outsiders. At half
past three o'clock exactly a landau
occupied by Count de Castellane and
Count de Dion entered the Velo-
drome, the doors of which were
closed. NJ. Jollievet, Count Castel-
lanes other second, had already ar
rived. Coaches and autocars contain
ing the friends of the principals took
up a position outside the palms. The
occupants who mounted these We
hicles in order to view the "affaire"
included Marquis de Castellane, the
counts father, and his brothers,
Counts Jean and Stanislas Castellane.
All preserved deep silence. Count
ROM de Castellane found that M. de
Rodays had already arrived at the
Nelodrome.
Count de Dion, who managed the
proceedings, broke the seal of the
box containing the pistols and handed
the weapons to the principals. He
proclaimed the conditions of the duel
in a loud voice, and after inviting the
men to get ready withdrew. The
principals cooked their pistols with
the greatest care and stood motion
less with their right arms straight
down with their bodies. To the ques-
ton of Count, de Dion: "Are you
ready?" both replied EYES," where
upon the command fire. was given.
Then Count de Dion counted zone,
two, three" Between "one' and
"two" M. de Rodays fired. Count de
Castellane followed between "two''
and three" and NJ. de Rodays
brought his hands to his thigh and
tottered. The four seconds and a
surgeon Immediately rushed to his
assistance. The doctor examined and
dressed the wound.
M. de Rodays was afterward car
ried from the ground and laid upon
the lower bench of the grand stand
while he was undressed. DR.. Blum
a surgeon from the st. Antoine hos.
pital, dressed his wound. Count Bon.
approached the wounded man and
asked: IN. de Rodays, are you In
pain?"
"Not too much" was the reply.
Count Boni then stretched out his
hand, which NJ. de Rodays accepted.
Count Boni and his party then drove
home and NJ. de Rodays was removed
to his residence.
