RIDE IN A BURNING,
UNCONTROLLED CAR

PITTSBURG, Feb. 20.-A blazing
Larimer avenue electric car, with all
brakes off and carrying twenty pas
sengers, raced madly down Fifth ave-
nue. early today from Grant almost to
Market street. Four Of the passengers
were seriously hurt. They are:
John Jones, Dorothy Grenup, inter
nally injured; unconscious and may
die; Stanley Skasson, K. J. Thompson
internal injuries.
AS Grant street was reached. east
bound, the front motor blew out. The
motorman rushed to the rear and at
tempted to hold the car from that end.
The second motor also exploded, and In
an instant the rear end Of the car was
in flames. In the panic that followed
some one released the one brake that
held the car at the top Of the hill.
The fight back toward Market street
began, the passengers crowding wildly
toward the motorman's platform to es-
cape the flames. Dorothy Greenup
leaped over the high wire gate at the
side of the front platform. Others at
tempted to follow, but the crowd was
packed too tightly.
When Market street was reached and
the car stopped of itself, several people
were still aboard, although the car was
more than half ablaze. E. J. Thomp-
son broke through a windo% and drag
ged with him an unknown colored
woman. He was severely hurt.

DR.. Steele a Pioneer Physician.
DR.. John Steele, of the two houses,
was notable among pioneer physicians.
He came to st. Paul in 1855, practiced
medicine here twenty eight years, re-
tired, built the Steele block at Waba-
sha and Seventh streets and other
buildings important at the time, and
died in 1885, aged seventy-six years.
His surviving children include Mrs.
(Dr.C E. ]. Abbott, Mrs. Clara Stay
maker, Mr.. Charles Steele, of this city,
and Mrs. Gen. Schwann, of Washing

1t still retains, a personality, an i'm
pressiveness, of its own. It had not,
indeed, the dignity, the artistocratic
exclusivenesS, that clothed the older,
cheaper houses of the portico and the
fluted column. But it is a fact not
easily explained that, with few excep-
lions, the large, elaborate stone dwell
ings erected recently in American cities
are much less dignified, much less in
dividual, than were the wood and stucco

rounds, In summer time, the McOuil-
Ian house across the street This
house, too, has it's Mansard roof, but
1t was not q residence of the highest
vogue when built; it's walls were wood,
not brick, and instead of being yell
low, they were probably gray, the color
they show now. The McQuillan house
has also been spared to a new life for
mankind's benefit and is now the
Luther hospital.
Bruno Beaupre built the one house
and P. F. McQuillan the other about
1872. The two men were long aSso-
ciated in the wholesale grocery trade.
Mr.. McQuillan died twenty-six years
ago. His family are living at the Hotel
Aberdeen, this city Mr.. Beaupre was
long the Oldest jobber in st. Paul. He
was also the first drummer to sell
goods on sample" from the Sanity
City. He died abroad in 1895. His
widow and two daughters are on the
continent.
Last Of the old Mansard houses to
be pictured with this sketch is the
once noted Becker house, at 612 Lafay-
cite avenue.
To reach the Becker house thirty
years ago we left the rigid restraint OF
Tenth street and challenged society by
wandering out across the milldam and
Trout Brook-out in the suburbs, al
most into the country. The spot would
have been sylvan, with it's brook, its
pond, it's woods and ground squirrels,
If it had not been for the noise of
switching freight trains. Yet freight
trains had built the Becker house.
Gen. Beeker's Home.
That is, Gen. George L. Becker. who
erected, about 1872, this fine type of
the yellow bricked, mansard- rooted
home, made grander still by it's tower
of extra height, it's location on hill,
it's excluding stone walls, with lofty
iron gates-Gen. Becker was railroad
proprietor, railroad manager. AS

selves, might some day battle like ba-
hies in a porcelain bowl
This Gotham house was extraordi-
narily large. It had three stories be-
sides the customary tower its Mansard
was coated with real states instead Of
shingles; much Of the outside trim
ming was stone. If any Tenth street
dwelling Of the '70s deserved pre- en-
tHcnce, 1t was this No. 254.
Fate has recognized the fact. No. 254,
like all mansions once exclusive, had
to pass through its purgatory as a
boarding house. But it never fell to be
a rooming house-yet why is the
'roomer'' less worthy than the meal
err" Now, purified, it has risen to
philanthropic service; 1t is an nurses
home for the Betheda hospital. The
hospital occupies nearby, at Ninth and
Wacouta streets, the former dwelling
of H. P. Upham, president of the First
National bank
Conrad Gotham, who erected the big
house, came to St. Paul from Ger
many before the Civil war, as little
prepared, materially speaking, to Crap
pie with fortune as was any Of the
first st. Paulites. But he soon acquir-
ed small shoe store then he began
a wholesale trade in shoes; and. at his
death in 1887, he was the principal To-
cal jobber and manufacturer in his
line. His family have long been prom
inent con the HILL
Beaupre and McQuillan Homes.
Still further down Tenth street, but
on the north side, two old Mansards,
divided by John street, mark the for
mer homes of two influential mer-
chants. These dwellings are the
Beaupre house, at 379 Tenth street, and
the McQuillan house at 397. To an old
settler the Beaupre house doesn't look
right" There is the Mansard roof,

Finally, the tall windows must have
large panes in contrast with the little
panes that mark all ante bellum
houses: the exterior trimmings of the
dwelling must be wood-brown, sanded
wood, offensive to the touch-and the
whole two stories must take on baronial
dignity from a dominating three-story
tower.
Usually the tower was square Al
ways-to borrow Mary MacLane's one
literary mark always it was capped
with a Mansard roof; and always, too,
