DESTROYS DOCKS, THE STEAMER
ESSEX AND SIX OR EIGHT
LOADED BARGES.
PROPERTY LOSS VERY HEAVY
ESTIMATED AT FROM FIVE HUN
DRED THOUSAND TO TWO
MILLION DOLLARS.

Baltimore, June 13.-Tire at an
early hour in the morning destroyed
the Savannah docks of the Merchants
e Miners Transportation company
the steamer Essex of that line, and
six or eight barges loaded with cot
ton, rosin, etc. The damage is esti.
mated at from $5O0,0O0 to $4,000 900.
The flames originated from some
unknown cause aboard a mud scow
moored against the steamship dock
and the latter was very soon a mass
Of flames, fed by the infiammable
freight with which the building, over
500 feet long, was stored. The fire
leaped to barges, frefghted with cot
ton and rosin, that were moored near
by, and these were set adrift as
quickly as possible. Some Of them
noated across the harbor to the South
Side and greatly endangered lumber
yards there. The steamer Essex of
the Merchants & Miners line caught
and was soon a mass of flames from
end to end, and though she, too, was
set adrift, rosin-laden barge along
side her made it impossible to save
her. The scene of the fire, at West
Falls avenue and Block street, is in
part of the harbor backed by very
extensive lumberyards, but the direc-
tion of the wind indicates that these
will not be destroyed
At $40 a. M the fire at the docks
was apparently under control, but the
blazing barges that fioated across the
harbor are burning fiercely and the
hremen are making heroic efforts to
prevent the flames spreading to prop
srty on that side of the harbcr

high as 100000 The Savannah

docks are said by the employees of the
steamship company to have been
crowded to the roof with valuable
merchandise, all of this, the steamer
Essex, her cargo and the barges be-
fore referred to, with their cargoes,
are totally destroyed
The burning hulk of the Essex
fioated across to the southern side of
the harbor endangering vessels in
Meacham's shipyard, especially the
new four-masted schooner Salisbury.
At 3:45 a. m. the flames on both
sides of the harbor appeared to be un-
der control.
The crew of the Essex, numbering
about forty men, are said to have been
on board when the fire broke out, but
it is impossible to ascertain whether
there were any fatalities.

it was of short duration, tht property

The strangest part of the whole
experience is that there was no loss OF
life.
It was shortly after 2 o'clock, most
people agree on 10 minutes after
when two heavy black clouds were
seen approaching, one from the south
west and one from the west, while
In between them was a lighter col

preston of its wishes as to any of the
amendments to the bill.
The rule was debated for forty min

discussion, the Democrats taking the
position that the time was opportune
to concur in the sleeping car amend
ment and instruct the conferees as to
the anti-pass amendment Although
the Democrats were aided by eight
Republicans. they could not command

For fourteen years Lathrop had not

ing with his family. His son notified
him of his acceptance after writing
to his sisters. Misses Hazel and Ber-
nice Lathrop of this city. The meet
ing occurred at Summit, S. D., where
Lathrop has a brother teaching school.
Mr. Lathrop started for the Klon-
dixie with $50 in cash, and on reach
ing Seattle he was without funds, but
was taken through by party OF
friends who were making the trip to-
gether. On reaching the gold fields
the party went 5000 miles into the
interior and started operations.
AT the end of five years Lathrop
had amassed $4,000, and with that
he started back home. On reaching
Ketchikan he was taken sick with
the scurvy, and for one year he lay
in the hospital When he came out
he said he did not have dollar left
of his small fortune. There was moth
ing for him to do but to make the
start all over again, and he met with
better results. He secured number
of mines that were profitable and sold
out some of them for 100000, retain
ing about thirty, which he still owns,
besides owning bank at Ketchikan.
Two years ago, prompted by the
love that he still bore for his family,
he decided to return to his old home.
He reached Seattle and there learned
that his wife had obtained divorce
and had been married again. With
out more ado Mr.. Lathrop retraced
his steps to the Klondike. After two
years his wealth had increased to a
larger sum, and again the longing
came over him to see his relatives,
and two weeks ago he reached his
former home at Appleton.
After his meeting with his children
he took them to Appleton, which visit,
however, was saddened by the death
of his mother and his sister. He
brought home golden gifts for them
and was grieved to find that they
were not there to receive them.
Lathrop is now thoroughly
changed man and leads a Christian
life. At Seattle and in Alaska he has
given large sums of money to aid
in church work.
Three years after Mr.. Lathrop went
away his wife obtained divorce on.
the ground of desertion, and moved
to Ashton, S. D., and made her home
with relatives. Nine years ago she
was married to l. w. Seaman of
Aberdeen, a wealthy ranch and stock
owner. who has handsome residence
near the business district. The two
daughters will continue to make their
residence with him.
Mr.. Lathrop expressed himself to
his daughters as being satisfied with
his lot and does not blame any mem
Der OF the family for all that has
taken place. AS soon as he finishes
his business in this country, which is
to buy an immense quantity of ma
chinery for his mining plants, he will
return to the Klondike country.

AWFUL PSORIASIS IS YEARS.
Terrible scaly Humor IN Patches All
Over the Body-Skin Cracked and
BIeeding-cured by cuticura.

II was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-five years. 1t was in patches
all over my body. / used three cakes
of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Oint-
nent and two bottles of Resolvent.
In thirty days / was completely cured,
and | think permanently, as it was
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made its appearance in red spots,
generally forming circle, leaving in
the center a spot about the size OF a
silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short
time the affected circle would form
a heavy dry scale of white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off. To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four hours.
1t was worse on my arms and limbs,
although it was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. If l let the
scales remain too long without remov-
ing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. l suffered in
tense itching, worse at nights after
getting warm in bed, or blood warm
by exercise, when it would be almost
