The long rows of wooden tenement

The long rows of wooden tenement
houses in the vicinity of the mills took
fire and for several hours threatened
the destruction of the whole city. I'm
mediately after the fire the city coun-
Gil took measures to prevent the erec-
ton Of frame buildings in the center
Of the city.
Up until 1878 all the firemen, with
the exception Of the drivers and en-
gineers, were volunteers, but the year
following all the men were paid sal
aries, and from that time on fire fight
ing in Minneapolis became a science.
The firemen twenty-five years ago
were efficient and brave, yet an enor-
nous stride has been taken since then,
and local insurance men admit that
the force to-day is one Of the best in
the country. There are Els men in
the service and twenty-four stations
all equipped with steamers and hose
wagons. Most of them also have chem
icals and hook and ladder. There is
@, watertOWer in one of the downtown
stations for use in getting at fires in
high buildings.
In the year 1902 there were 1,1O1
fires, and the total loss was approx
mately a half million. This year the
loss will be very light. With the ex-
ception of the explosion of the North
western Star Oil company's plant or
the East Side, there have been no seri.
Gus conflagrations. That accident
nearly rivaled the mill explosion OF
1878 in the number of lives lost.

FIRE DEPARTMENT IN 1878

In the early days of the fire depart
ment, the city took as much precau-
ton in the organization of an efficient
system and in establishing fire limits
for wooden buildings as tho it already
had population of 100000. The re-
suit of this early vigilence is that the
business portion of the city is prac-
tically fireproof, and the department
so we'll equipped that the loss by fire
each year is much less than In other
cities of the same population.
The st. Anthony and Minneapolis
departments were united in 1878 and
since then have worked under one
head. There were six department
houses and with one exception all the
apparatus was drawn by horses. Altho
the department was under the direc-
ton of the city, most Of the apparatus
was owned by the separate companies.
The city owned but one Of the five
teams in use.
The Acme company was the only
one that did not use horses on the
hose cart, and the races to fires be-
tween the men and horses were often
exciting, and not a few times the men
were the first on the scene. On the
night of the terrible mill explosion in
1878, the Acmes arrived at the fire
several minutes ahead of the other
companies, and their york during the

tel. 1t contains 200 modernly equipped
rooms, with such conveniences as
electric light, steam heat, private
bath, telephone service, etc.
One Of the most recent improve
ments is the very unique and hand
some Dutch Cafe,' which was built
as an addition to the hotel proper,
with entrance from the lobby floor.
Its design is most artistic, and fol-
lows out In detail the old Dutch din
ing hall. To provide delectation for
appreciative guests, the cafe has been
furnished with a large, handsome,
modern pipe organ, which, during the
meal hours, discourses inspiring mu-
sic. The cost Of this completed adj
dition was $4,000, and other improves
ments on a large scale are contem-
plated in the coming spring.
& The NATIONAL is conducted on both
the American and European plans at
very reasonable rates. Mr.. Hopes
is not only the proprietor Of this ho-
tel, but also owns and operates 1.-THE
Boardman" Of st. Paul, which hotel
contains 100 rooms, all modern con-
veniences, and Is strictly European In

The Manhattan Life Insurance COM
pany Of New York is Gibraltar in
the insurance and financial world of
this country. 1t is impregnably en-
trenched In the business relationships
and condolences Of the people. The
stress and storm of general business
conditions do not materially affect it.
Its foundations were well laid and the
superstructure carefully raised.
The company commenced business
in August, 1850, and has thus passed
by several years its semi
and ranks one of the Oldest and
strongest companies in the country.
During the fifty-three years that the
company has been in business there

over $5,000,000 more than the total
premiums received from policy
This Is truly record to be proud
Of. especially when one considers the
large number of widows and orphans
which the above payments have
saved from more than probable want.
Growth in Five Years.
During the last five years the total
assets have increased Is per cent;
is per cent, and the total business
In force, 20 per cent. These figures
indicate the splendid growth and de-
velopment Of the Manhattan's bust
ness.
This result has been obtained by
DDS. The officers Of the Manhattan
have always kept in mind that the as
sets of a life insurance company are
trust funds held for the benefit Of the
Pol1cy-holders, their widows and or
phans; strength, security and solidity
being Of the first Importance.
The business Of the company Is
confined strictly to the most health
full portions of the United States, and
the pol1cy-holders therefore constitute
what might be called a preferred class.
Under no circumstances does the COM
pany write substandard risks, and

NATIONAL HOTEL.

This now famous hostelry was first
opened to the public in 1859, and after
passing thru the hands Of several

was established in 1857 by S. G. Gale,
H. Gale and H. O. Hamlin, and is the

that the days are numbered when it

The land disposed of by the COM

CONVENTIONS AT BALTIMORE
The Monument Cliy Seeking Fame In
Another Direction.

Baltimore. which has retained for many
years the distinction of being the Monu-
ment City, has another ground for recog-
milton. 1t is--or hopes to be again-the
Convention City.
The chief city In one Of the closest and
most uncertain of the States politically,
it is to make an effort next year to secure
one or both OF the conventions Of the great
parties With the Fifth Regiment Armory
ns gathering point and n big new hotel
nearing completion to aid in making the
accommodate ions sufficient for the thrush
Of visitors. Baltimore is seeking 10 recover
one of her chief glories of the past-her
wide fame as a convention city.
The last National Convention assembled
in Baltimore was the Democratic Conven-
tion of 1872, which nominated Horace Gree
ley for President. The convention which
nominated Mr. Lincoln for second term
for President and Mr.. Andrew Johnson, OF
Tennessee for Vice President, met in Balti-
more in 1894.
In 1881 caucus of the Wing members
of the Maryland Legislature issued a call
for a national convention in December OF
that year, to which the opponents OF jackson
were invited to send delegates. In the
following year, the Democratic National
Convention met in Baltimore and re-
nominated jackson for President,
In 1898 Van Buren, was nominated there
for President In 1890 Bell and Everett
we're nominated for President and Vice
President In Baltimore.
Since 1872. in consequence OF its strong
and almost unwavering support OF Demo-
CRITIC candidates, Baltimore has not been
recognized as a convention city as II hopes
to be again next year. ~

FLORYD4'S FRUIT CROP.
Growers Expect 10 Oct @2,SOO. 600 From
Oranges and Pipcapples.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July At is thought
that the coming fruit season will he tie
most profitable ever known in Florida
since the great freeze. The pincappI"
crop Of the East Coast is rapidly assuming
great proportions and this years orange
crop promises TO be the best known in the
State for many years.
The pineapple season is now at its hcigh'.
and while no exact figures can he given
as to the yield, some idea of the immense
growth of the industry may be gained
by noting the amount of crate material
thus far sent to the East Coast Material
sufficient to make $4,000 crates has been
shipped to the scene of operat tons on ~"
mainland and az least 10000 crates will 10
required for the crop on the Florida keys
The entire crop may therefore be esl'-
mated at 100000 crates. The presenc"
OF the cheaper Cuban pines In the mark"'
has kept down prices, and it is estimated
that this years crop will net the growers
about S1.3O crate, as against $40 last
year, total Of about s52O,oO0. This mcaHS
that the Cuban competition will take some
thing like Sl80,OOO out Of the Florida grow
ers' pockets this year.
Az to oranges the indications are prom
ising. From the orange Lelt all reports
state that the conditions are favorable,
The coming crop is variously estima "'i
at from 150O,OOO 10 2,OOO,Om boxes. ara
Judging from the steady demand for box
mat erial the latter estimate is likely 10 he
nearer the mark
Last years orange crop is thought tn
have netted the growers from 81 rs 10 81 -
a box on the Tree. and this has been favo'
ite method Of selling Even il this coming
crop should not net over 81 box on he
tree. It would yet mean money value for
the crop Of something like 81 y000,0pQ

Cuantrell, with the balance prepared for an
onslaught on Blunt's small party, now
halted on the prairie some eighty rods away
but concealed from Pond by an intervening
ridge
Gen. Blunt at first took Quantrell's party
for Union force, as his advance was dressed
in Federal uniform. But Blunt, fighting
commander, as a precaution put his little
escort in fighting posture, and awaited
events. He soon learned what kind Of
troops were advancing.
When within sixty yards Quantrell
charged in force with demoniac yells.
The resistance was faint; in fact, a portion
OF the escort turned and fled before shot
was fired. There was no fight. All were
soon disorganized mass Of panic stricken
fugitives.
The fleeing soldiers were ferociously
pursued, and as fast as caught were remore-
lessly shot down by Quantrell's murderers.
Even after some of them had surrendered
they were relentlessly killed. All the Of
GERS acted bravely. Blunt himself some

Major Curtis and Lieut.. Farr Of his
staff were both killed after surrender

called the men off, leaving only about

attendants, were assa ssinated in this un-
expected affair

the eighty five bodies collected, nearly all
were shot through the head, most OF them
from five to seven times each, otherwise
horribly mangled, and some OF them
charred by the fire Of the burning wagons.
This was the case with the musicians,
who were killed while still sitting in wagon
which was afterward fired.
With them was a small boy OF twelve.
Henry Pellage of Madison, who was ruth
lessly shot with the rest, though not killed
outright His dead body, with the clothes

away, where he had crawled from the
burning wagon.
OF the killed thirty were clerks and or

one out of eighty-fve Of the mounted es-
cort were killed.
Sergt Jack Splane was induced to sur
render by promise Of safety. After TAX
ing his arms his captor instantly shot him
down, saying:
Tell old God that the last man you saw
on earth was Quantrell.
Splane lived. however. after receiving
five balls.
All the official reports praise the action
OF Pond. His magnificent behavior made
a profound impression in all quarters. He

STOCKS AND BONDS.

| New York. Oct. 15.-Todays stock mar
ket passed through number of phases
and ended the day in nearly stagnant
condition and with prices not far from
last nights level The market enjoyed
its period of decided strength during
| the early part of the day. when the sell
/ ing pressure which has been so conspic-
uous recently. seemed 10 he entirely with
drawn. An organized party OF profess
sionaI traders made an attempt to start
prices upward. The most notable of
these was the building up of q large short
interest which gave evidence OF its ex-
7 istence by an eagerness to borrow stocks
| for delivery. causing a number Of the
industrials to command a slight premium
! for that purpose.
London was inclined 10 take q more
cheerful view of the financial outlook
and decidedly so in view OF the absence
of trouble in the stock exchange settle
ment. Buying for the new account in
London and good terms London was dis
posed 10 buy.
Speculative circles We're inclined to at
taoh Importance to some very large buy
ing OF United States Steel preferred
which was noted yesterday, and gave
rise to reports OF a very great accumu-
lation. That stock in consequence re-
covered to GO and inspired hope that
its downward course had been arrested
at last.
The importance attached TO the ship
building case was indicated by the good
effect of d rumor that was started that
the suit was to be amicably settled. 4
downward plunge in United States Steel
preferred to 57l4 had chilling effect on
the whole movement The selling Of the
stock was associated with the renewed
stock market furry in Pittsburg. and
it was rumored that the steel preferred
offered in the market came out Of col
lateral for q loan which was affected by
the Pittsburg money troubles. 4 point
break in Westinghouse Electric was sup
posed to find its origin at the same source.
The slump OF point in Colorado Fuel
had no news to explain it. but was sup
posed to be connected with a speculative
accumulation of this stock while its con-
troll was still disputed. As a minority
stock the demand has so far fallen off
as to offer little market for Il forced sale.
The railroad equipment companies were
still notabl weak. under the influence Of
the large measures of economy by the
great railway systems which are eX-
pected TO become geenral throughout the
