booker Trust Co. Has ~,
. 100000 Loss.

New York, Jan. 1S.-The seven-story
warehouse of the Terminal Storage
company, occupying full city block
near the North river water front, be-
tween Twenty-seventh and Twenty
eighth streets, and containing mer-
chandise valued at more than $1O,O00,-
600 was swept by fire.
The fire was discovered a few min
utes after midnight. 1t was not under
control until 6:45 o'clock, when the
loss was estimated at $1,250,OO0 Five
alarms sounded in quick succession
summoned to the scene practically
every available piece of fire fighting
apparatus from all Manhattan and this
was reinforced by five fireboats.
The Terminal Storage company's
warehouse was of brick and concrete
and was regarded as one of the most
modern buildings in that part Of the
city. Seven stories in height it was
the largest structure of it's kind in
New York and one of the largest in
the world. While the building itself
was fireprOof and protected by fire
walls, sprinklers and all the modern
fire prevention and fire fighting ap-
paratus, its contents, consisting most
~ OF goods awaiting delivery to the
big New York department stores, were
naturally of the most infiammable ma
ture.
The building was divided into four
sections by fire walls two feet thick.
One of the sections was controlled by
John Wanamaker and contained mer-'
chandise consigned to him. Another
section was rented by Gimble Broth,
ers, while the two remaining sections
had as tenants nearly so smaller firms.
The fire started in the Wanamaker
compartment and worked it's way
through the fire walls to the Gimbel
section. Both these sections were de-
stroyed, but the fire walls between
them and the other compartments held
the fire and the loss is, therefore, con-
fined to the two firms named. There
was no loss Of life, but two firemen
were seriously injured.
A stubborn fire on the ground floor
of the 22-story Office building owned
by the Knickerbocker Trust company,
Broadway and Exchange place, gave
the financial district some moments of
trepidation.
The blaze was within few hundred
feet of the stock exchange, but was
got under control before it could
spread beyond the building where it
started. The loss will not exceed
100000.

Minneapolis Lumberman Expires at
Pasadena, CAL, Age Of 60
Years.
AMASSED A BIG FORTUNE
Committeeman in 1900 1904
Liberal Donor to Univer-
sity of Minnesota.

Minneapolis, Jan. 16. - Thomas
Henry Shevlin, president of the Shev.
lin-Carpenter company, died in Pasa
dena, Cal. He was 60 years old. II
Is said his death probably was due
to uraemic poisoning. He had been
ill for some time before his death and
his active interests in business had
been assumed by his son, Thomas H
Shevlin.
MIR. Shevlin was taken seriously i'll
about year ago and was under the
Doctors care until the time of his
death. He recently took trip abroad
with Hovey c. Clarke. His death was
fastened by the death of his wife in
April, 1910. According to his asso
ciates in business, Mr.. Shevlin had
been a different man since her death
He had been identified for many
years with the lumber business. He
leaves an estate estimated to be in
the neighborhood of $1O,O00,O00.
Thomas Henry Shevlin was born in
Albany, N. Y, Jan. 8, 1852 He was
the son of John and Matilda Shevlin.
His mother survives him. He is sur.
vived by three children, Thomas Leon.
ard, Florence and Helen. ..
Mr.. Shevlin's boyhood was spent in
Albany. Until he was Is years old he
attended the public schools OF that
city, acquiring common school edu
cation. He then entered the employ
of John McCraw & Co., lumber firm
Of Albany, and with them began his
training for the business with which
he has been identified for years.
He was connected with this firm
from 1870 as manager of important
interests in several New York towns.
He then went to Chicago, going FROM
there to Muskegon, Mich, where he
took charge of the lumber interests
of r. w. Harvey. About year later
he associated himself with the Ste.
phen C. Hall Lumber company and ir

Upon the withdrawal of Mr.. Ducey in
1887 the firm became the Hall & Shev-
lin Lumber company, and so continued
until the death of Mr. Hall in 1885,
Three years later Ebert l.. Carpenter
bought an interest in the business
under the firm name of the Shevlin-
Carpenter company. The organiza-
ton then established with Mr.. Shev-
lin as president and has been doing a
large business.
Since the establishment of this COM
pany, Mr.. Shevlin had extended his
operations until his interests included
timber, lumber and mills in the South,
the West and in Canada With j.
Neils he established the J. Neils Lum-
Der company in 1895 with a mill at
Sank Rapids and in 1900 this firm in
stalled a mill at Cass Lake, Mimi,
with an annual capacity of 100000
feet of lumber. In 1896 he joined
Frank p. Hixon in buying a large
amount of timber on the Red Lake
Indian reservation, forming the St..
Hilaire Lumber company and building
mill.
This company bought out the mill,
logs, and timber holdings of the Red
River Lumber company at Crookston
and reorganized, as the Crookston
Lumber company with Mr.. Shevlin as
president.
In 1902 and 1903 the company built
mill at Bemidji with an output Of
100000 feet a year, running log
ging spur east of Red Lake and con-
Meeting with the Minnesota and Inter-
national railway at Hovey Junction,
thus opening up vast tract of hith-
erto unavailable timber. Mr.. Shevlin
also was connected with and was &C.
tive in founding line of retail yards
operated as the st. Hilaire Retail Lum-
Der company, with the Shevlin-C Clark
company of Ontario and with the
Rainy River Lumber company which
operates plant at Rainy River, Ont,
with capacity of 100000 feet-said
to be one of the most complete saw
mills in the world.
Mr.. Shevlin besides being president
and organizer of many subsidiary COM
panies, had vast timber holdings in
Oregon.
In politics he was Republican and a
member of the national committee for
Minnesota from 1900 to 1904. In 1901
he served as vice president of the Min
nesota State fair, representing Mime
apo!is on the board Of managers. His
interest in public affairs and in the
institutions of Minneapolis and Mime
ss*': is evidenced in his gift to the
! University of ADMINISTRATIVE Shev-
