GREAT F|RE IN ALBANY
Entire Dry Goods Section of the City
Threatened.
ONE FIREMAN MEETS DEATH
4 Number Seriously Injured-BIaze
Confined to the Boston store
which Was Totally Destroyed.
Narrow Escape of Dancers.

Albany. \. Y, Oct. 2O.-The most
destructive fire that has visited AL
bany in Il number Of years broke out
in the Tower 4 Brooks cOmpanys Bos-
ton store. one Of the largest dry goods
stores in the heart of the business dis
trirt. For II time the entire dry goods
section was threatened, and only by
the most heroic work on the part OF
the lireiuen were the flames practical
ly confined to the building in which
they started.
There were many thrilling escapes
from death. and one fireman was
killed and Il number injured. Thomas
Ward. a ppeman of Engine Company
No. /, Slipped from the top OF a lad
der and tcl thirty feet, breaking his
neck.
At the time the fire broke out
dance was in progress in Il hall on the
top floor of the burning building. rs
cape to the street was cut Oft by the
fast spreading flames. and twenty-five
young men and women were lifted
out of the front windows and helped
over adjoining roofs. The shrieks of
hysterical women created much eX-
element, but cool headed firemen and
spectators soon carried them to
place of safety A number Of women
were burned, but none of the dancers
were seriously hurt.
Former Governors Mansion.
The destroyed structure was once
the residence of former Governor Will
liam L. Marcy and was one of the
historical spots in Albany. 1t extend
ed from Pearl to James streets, with
a side frontage in Steuben street. Ten
minutes after the fire was discovered
flames We're pouring out Of every win
dow. and the buildings on the north
side of Steuben street were ablaze in
many spots. The Municipal Telegraph
company's white House" was badly
scorched. the windows being shattered
by the intense heat and the frames
twisted out of shape and charred.
1t was two hours before the flames
We're pronounced fully under control
1t is impossible at present to secure
any estimate of the losses. The chief
losses will be:
Tower Il Brooks company, dry goods
and carpets; Prudential Life Insurance
company. Adolph Fleischman. archi.
tect; Richard Healey & Co.. dry goods;
Municipal Telegraph company and
Annesley 4 Co.. art goods and artists
materials.
About a dozen other small firms will
be slightly damaged by smoke and
water
Those in the vicinity Of the building
at the time the fire broke out heard
several explosions. and Immediately
thereafter flames burst out of the front
and sides of the building. Members of
the firm say that nothing explosive
was carried in stock but venture the
opinion that it may have been caused
by leak in the gas meter.

In the little hamlet of Nordhastedt.
near MeldOrf, u singular custom is OBJ
served annually. According to tradi-
ton, 1t dates back to the thirteenth
century. During that IRA the haDllet
was on one occasion attacked by n
band of robbers, and ihe men of the
village were SOON conil rllcd to beat a
retreat.
Thereupon the WOE an boldly at
tackled the robbery and not only van
quished tlrem but also look the leader
and several OF the band prisoners. AS
3 token of their graft ude the men
have ever since allowed the women to
celebrate this great eve It by holding
g. festival at stated int. rivals, and on
such occasions they exercise no Hu-
therity themselves. but submit in all
things to the will Of the women.
The latter greatly enjay their tenn
porary supremacy and, as synlbo!
thereof never fail to fasten large
wooden slipper to every lamp and
chandelier in the hamlet.

John F. Uhlhorn, who is superin-
teading the construction Of the new
Vulcan smelter near Gardnerville,
paid Yerington a visit the first Of
this week. His main object on this
trip was to secure some ore from the
Miller mine to work in the new
smelter when it starts up, which
will be in about two weeks. He vis-
tied the Miller and Ludwig proper
ties while here and seemed to be
favorably impressed with the looks
of the claims. He also talked over
the proposition of locating small
4o-ton custom smelter in this vicin-
ity, but did not seem to think the
prospect owners here would guar
antee enough ore to keep the smelter
running for year. Mr.. Uhlhorn's
proposition is to put a smelter in
somewhere in this vicinity when the
mine and prospect owners will guar
antee to furnish the smelter with
30 tons of ore per day la hours) for
one year. He will not ask that any
person take stock in the company
unless it proves a success, and not
then unless they choose to. 1t would
seem that this is as fair proposition
as any mining section can ask. 1t
the owners of prospects hereabouts
have what they claim in the way OF
copper ores there ought TO be no
trouble in furnishing the required
amount of ore. Mr.. Uhlhorn thinks
that 7 to per cent. ore can be made
to pay well even at the present price
of copper. He took his departure
for Carson Wednesday, but expects
to return in couple of weeks and
further examine the possibilities OF
our copper mining resources.
