Steady employment for all our

Baltimore Fire Losses.

We have been asked a number of
times since the great Baltimore fire
what effect the heavy losses would
have on the fire insurance companies.
Reports state that the Baltimore To-
cal companies will not be able to meet
their liabilities, and probably other
small companies viii not be able TO
meet this disaster with their limited
assets. We have heard from all of
the companies for which we are agent,
however. and are pleased to note that
they are each and all so strong that
the fire loss, though heavy, will be
merely an incident of the business.
We invite attention to the following

unusual coufiagration-a large area of

Victim of Pneumonia.

A very sad death occurred this
morning at the Mercy hospital, at
which time VIM. G. Campbell, young
man about a years of age, passed
away after an illness with pneumonia
lasting just one week.
Mr. Campbell came up from Phenix
about ten days ago to accept a posi-
ton with the Palace barber shop, and
after working three days was taken
very i'll and went to the Mercy 'hospi-
tai, where he constantly grew worse
until Friday morning the physicians
thought there was very little hopes for
his recovery, and his mother, who re-
sides at Kaikaska, Michigan, was sum-
moned by wire and left that night for
Prescott. She is expected to arrive
tonight and will likely have the body
of her son shipped home Tor burial.
The remains we're taken in charge by
NJ. Maus & Company to prepare for
either shipment or burial as the
mother decides.
Mr.. Campbell is spoken of by his
as a most excellent young
man, steady, sober and industrious
and his death is a very sad bereave-
ment.
