FIVE Men PERISH N BARN FIRE
LARGE LIVERY BARN m HEART
OF DULUTH BURNS.
conhagration Set by Brazisr's Torch
Lose Is Near $4,000.

Duluth, Mimi, Juno 21.-The Board
Of Trade livery barn on West First
street, near the government building,
was Quilted by fire Saturday after
noon about 4:30, and Ave men per-
ished and about $4,000 worth of
property was destroyed.
There were 165 horses in the barn
at the time of the fire, and nearly 100
were burned to death.
The FIRE originated from a brazisr's
torch, in the rear on the First street
floor. The blacksmith was engaged
at brazing a wheel on a hack, and the
fire vas communicated to the floor.
The fire was confined to a small space
and Captain James Sullivan, the pro-
prietor of the livery, and one or two
others, started to put the fire out, but
1t spread with marvellous rapidly.
The battle of the Ave men to save
the dumb beasts in their keeping,
many of them fine horses, and their
subsequent fight to save themselves
when they realized, too, late, that they
must "a themselves, can only be
guessed. That they at last were driv-
en- forward by the smoke is evident,
for they were all found near the foot
of the schultz. 1t appears they tried
TO get up that way instead of into the
alley.
The building was owned by Barrett
& Zimmerman, of st. Paul, and they
and Captain Sullivan owned the
horses and vehicles. The building
cost 100000 and was insured for pra
tfcally it's whole value. The horses
and rigs were owned by Captain Sui
livan and Barrett & Zimmerman, and
the insurance on them was $40, 900.

The surprise OF the day in stock cir
cles, was, perhaps, the reported sale
of fifteen shares or Hawaiian Agricul-
tural at Saw The last sales of this
stock was around $3.50, and the sweep
ing advance was unexpected. I'm
doubtedly the rise was due to the neavy
rains of Monday upon and around the
plantation, ensuring water for all pur-
poses for long time to come.
Pala also showed further strength,
the advance being regarded as appro-
ximately $40 on last figures. Zen
shares were sold between boards at
$3.50, and while only 1855 was onered,
holders were demanding $3OU.
Oahu sold off and on the boards for
$32, and while S31 1916 was the basis OF
bids, the stock was admittedly strong
at S32, with Indications OF an early
advance of a quarter or even half. Be
tween board 20 and 5 shares were Sc. d
and on the boards the sales were b
and 5.
Hawaiian Commercial appeared to
be tritle stronger, there being num-
Der of inquiries which could not be
satisfied. Twenty shares changed
hands at 1888 625, with $SS so general
ly offered and holders demanding
S33.75.
A sale of 25 shares of Honomu was
reported at $17O. the bid quoted was
$165, with $3.50 asked. 1t is stated
that the sale reported, which was be-
tween boards, was forced, in conse-
quence of which it should not be cal
culated upon in reaching an accurate
basis of valuation.
Eva showed a slight return OF
strength. Between boards 1872 shares
sold at S29.75, but Immediately after
ward $50 was bid and no stock was to
be located on the street for less than
$50. %. On the boards this morning
ten shares offered at $50 and were
snapped up.
Paauhau again appeared on the
street, rs shares seIIing at $2S 50. The
figure asked at this writing is $2g.
Fifty Pioneer sold between board at
$lSS, following which S189 was asked
This is weaker than anyone seems
able to account for.
A block of 45 shares OF McBryde
changed hands at 1895. The figure
offered was SO SO, while SO. 625 was
asked.
