Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-02-09

Na0 kA1C ANtlbACAAelA AAGLSl. ASO are left standing as far as the eye can see down Baltimore street from shis point. All sRong South Gay street is the same picture of complete de- struction. Here broken sign and a tottering front wall is all that is left of the Maryland W. o. T. II. building. Adjoining this was the building occu- pied by the Iron Ship company and by the British consulate, whose building is complete loss. The building used by the German consulate on this square is also in ruins.
 While there were no casualties to speak of, the great army of fire fighters performed many daring feats in their desperate efforts to stay the flames. Many times they were driven out of close and hot places just as walls came toppling down. The last large building to fall prey to the flames down along Jones' falls nearly caught five men. They were on the roof and directing their efforts to an adjoining structure when warning shout was sent up that the interior of the building on which they were standing was a mass of flames. They found their way to a tin gutter, where, one by one, they hung on, stretched out their arms and grasp ed telegraph pole which was planted close to the structure. They slid down and had not reached the ground when the roof fell in with a roar. This was only one instance. Columns could be written of hairbreadth escapes made during the twenty-seven hours battle with the flames.

All but Two Have Been Convicted on
Trial at Different Times-Schaffer's
Case, the Last, Entered Upon at a
Special Term at Ellendale.

Rott in blind pig here in February, 1903.
Rott, who was at one time a blindpigger
in Kuhn came to Ashley Feb. IA, 1903, to
do some collecting for a Kuhn merchant,
He transacted business with Schaffer and
others that afternoon and in the evening
took a room at the Cooper hotel. Early
the next morning he left the hotel and
did not return during the day. 1t sub
sequently developed that he spent his time
in a little stone building occupied by Mrs.
Winter.
In the evening Schaffer John Nagel,
Peter Riedlinger, Friedrich Bensinger,
Andreas Schlabsz and a printer named
Leopold Gricninger were In the place
drinking and singing. Finally a quarrel
arose and q fight began. The drinking
and fighting continued, it seems, for three
or four hours. Grieninger and Mrs. Win
ter, who are the principal witnesses for
the state, assert that Schaffer, Sch1absz,
Riedlinger, Bensinger and Nagel set upon
Rott and pounded him with beer bottles
and glasses.
In July, at Ellendale, the trials began.
The case against Nagel was the first He
admitted striking Rott with beer bottle,
but said he did it in elf-defense as Rott
was attacking him with a knife. He was
found guilty Of manslaughter in the sec
ond degree and sentenced to a years i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary. Judge
Lauder presided at this trial. Judge
kneeshaw next presided at the trial OF

Helena, Mont, April 13.-The supreme
court has modified the order of inspection
granted by Judge Clancy Of Silver Bow
county in the celebrated Commanche case,
in which suit was brought by Patrick Null
Inns against the Boston and Montana COM
pany to quit title to three-fourths' in
terest in the Commanche Lodge mining
claim.
The order issued by Judge Clancy gave
Mullins the right to inspect all papers and
documents in the possession Of the Boston
and Montana company relating to the
Commanche mine and also to inspect the
workings of the Commanche thru shafts
Of the Boston and Montana company.
The Boston and Montana company,
after the granting Of the order by Judge
Clancy, applied to the supreme court for
writ Of supervisory control The su-
preme court makes important modifica-
tions of the order. The district court
must amend it's order by fixing the time
not only at which the inspection Of the
papers is to begin, but the length of time
which it is to continue. The court must
exclude from the letters to be inspected

ferred to, as we'll as all matters not re-

Backed up by over third of century

ord such as no other remedy for the dis
eases and weaknesses peculiar to women
ever attained, the proprietors and max
ers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
now feel fully warranted in Offering to
pay $500 in legal money of the United
States for any case of Leucorrhea, Fe-

they ask is fair and reasonable trial of
their means of cure.

time when her health is broken by the
burdens she has borne for the man S

her to seek roster cheeks and brighter
ewes. 1t is mans nature to crave beauty
in the wife as in the maid. And what
woman is there, who would not be hap
py to keep her maiden bloom when
motherhood has crowned her wifely
happiness? Some women seem to have
found this secret of perpetual youth.

learned that fairness of face and form
