Building, Corner Sixteenth and Douglas St§ who was at work on A carload of glass had ‘Midland company, the fourth floor. been laid fn, and he and three other em- | .yployes were kept busy at work taking care | “®f this. Welsenberg saw a flame emanat- ing from the elevator wire on the third floor. As quickly as possible he ran down fhe thres fiights of stairs and Into the of- fice on the first floor, to Inform W. W. Green, cashier. Officers Morrison and + Rinn gave the alarm, but the No, 3 house firomen had by this time seen the flames and started for the fire. The alarm was general, bringing out all save the emer- ¥ gency departments, That was at 6:40 in the afternoon, By the time the department arrived, which was a brief period, the fire had made terrible headway. Chief Salfer and his men found themselves confronted by a fomentous task. Starting on the third story the flames had equal chance of * spreading to the top and bottom and little fexistence either way, as the contents of the building were, as a whole, highly in- | flammable. Three other men, besides Welsenberg were n the building and had to be resciied before the fight began against the flames. One of these, Frank Menting, made his own rescue by leaping from a third-story window onto the roof of the Schlitz hotel 5 adjolning, and L. Wasmuth and anpther, {all employes of the Midland company), * whose name was not learned, were taken dut of rear windows by the firemen. Attack from All Side: Chiet .Salter began the attack from all ! gides, running ladders up from every di- ¢ fection and pouring streams into ail four § #1des of the bulldigs. Seven streams. pene- 4/ trated from the dlléy on the north. In ad- § dition to the burning bullding, the Schiitz Rotel, which adjoined the Nash building on the east and was in the most imminent danger, had to be constantly, saturated. Xt escaped any damage from fire, but about dix feet.of water fllled up in .the, cellars § qausing pome loss. This was being pumped 4 qut last night. Guests in the hotel had a * devero fright. . i 11t was about 7 o'clock, just fifteen min- Huites before the alarm of the Douglas street iaipe, that, Chist. Salter survejed the' #it. _uation and thought he had the flames ‘whipped. But In an instant they burst forth like a hurricane, with redoubled vigor and seemed to grow fn magnifude until a little after § o'elgck they showpd a puible weakness. | s\ ... o hdd the situatten become by 7:% that the chief ordered the tower ereot- ed in,front of the bullding on Harney street. The big eteamer from engine house No. 3 took hold .of the machine and sent a tremendous volume of. water with power- ful force into the bullding.. But the flames were tough end hard to subdue. It re- quired incgssant activity of the tower. This exhibition. was watched gnd cheered with great, enthusiasm by the crowds that lined and blocked the street and ranged along the windows and on the roofs of Bennetts and other adjacent bulldings. By dint of the most skiliful. maneuvering, the firemen managed to confine the flames to the three upper glories, not allowing them once to get below the third, where they started. Had they ever rgached the basement, ‘where was stored qfl and dry colors, no human effort ,could pestibly have saved the buflding from total daurm_un. As it was the walls were left standin; 4 & loss of only $3,000 sus- tained a m..;‘..m, to & $56,000 bullding. Contents' &t Building.

The central company sustained a $400,000 fire Friday at Cincinnati | Chief Salter's View. | Chiet Salter said: “I consider of the kardest fires we have ever | tought. In the fifth floor, where the | leather was burning, it was so full of | smoke that it was impoesible to live in it. | In every way it was hard to get at. The | smoke poured out from all the three upper stories, making it extremely dificult for us to make headway.” Manager Judson spoke in the highest terms of the manner in which the fire was haidled and when it was under control | invited all the firemen to a lunch, served ip the Sghlitz hotel. Patton on the Origin, City Electrician Patton made a partial examination of the bullding about 9:30 o'clock. He investigated particularly the condition ‘of the elevator motor and sur- | roundings on the third flodk, the fire hav- | ing started in this immediate vicinity. He | saa: “The inspection that I was able to make } tonight does not justify mie in giving an opinion as to the origin of the fire. From | what T could see I am inclined to think | that it was caused by something other | than defective wiring or proper protection | of the motor. I can hardly see how the fire could have been started by improper | electrioal fittings, as the former city elec- | triclan had all the wiring torn out and the | bullding rewired from top to bottom when | the Midland people moved into it about the first of the year. Tomorrow I shall go into the matter further and may bring some new evidence to light.” No Estimate on Insurance. E. W. Nash, owner of the building, is in New York City, and Willlam Cox, who I charge of the Insurance affairs of his pfop- erty, salled yesterday for Burope. It was imposeible last night to ‘ascertain the amount of insurance cartled. Mr. Guy C. Barton stated that he knew the bullding was insured, but not to what extent. George & Co., the agents, estimated the value at 36,000 but had no knowledge of the Insurance. According to the opinion of Chief Salter damage to the structure will not exceed §6,00. The walls are prac- tically uninjured, but new floors will be necessary on the third, fourth and” fifth floors, together With partitions, while plas- tering and finishings will have to be re- done throughout the bufldin it one Doug! Street Fire. At 7:15 o'clock, when the Midland fire had broken out afresh and seemed to be beyond control, a second fire started in the third story of the bullding occupled by A. Hospe. Companies 3 and 11, under Assistant Chief Windhelm, were sent to this and soon had the blaze out.. The dam- age by smoke and water to the Hospe stock is estimated at $3,500. v The room adfoining on the east fs occu- pled by the Lilliputian Bazaar, and this was filled with smoke and bome water soaked through the brick wall' The stock is valued at $22,000, but how much the smioke damaged it the management was unable to say exactly. It was estimated at $9,000. The' room in which the'fire originated was full of packing and plunder and it was in this that the fire originated. It spread rapidly and by the time the department arrived the smoke. completely fllled the room. Two streams were turned on the blaze and it was extinguished with only nominal e to the bullding. T'he second floor. of the Hospe side of the bujlding was. full of planos and paintings. Though only two streams were turned on the fire, much of the water ran through the floor to the second. This occasioned the heavy loss on the stock. fii‘-mu‘: for Tefenne Open. CYNTHIAN, Aug. 8.-Ju o PYgnch of WIRCheRLRY, > ar t-for tHe défendants in White trial today.

NO COMMENDATIONS OF HIS CAREER to Show Disapproval of Administration of His Course During Recent Yenrs, (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Leading newspapers throughout the country will tomorrow diseuss the man- ner in which Lieutenant General Miles has been disposed of by the administration. There will be criticism of the War depart- ment's coursa and for some little while General Miles may possibly be regarded as a martyr. The order retiring General Miles was purely perfunctbry and there Is €00d ground for such an order. But when President Cleveland took-leave of General Scofield, who preceded General Miles as head of the army, it was with such a graceful phrase and high appreciation of the general's soldierly characteristics that he called the attention of the nation to the change In generals. Although Wood was not retired -he received high praise when he relingcished command of Cuba. Shafter and Otis when they relinquished command came in for many bouquets. The reason why Miles was not eulogized 1s known to every.regular army officer. It was because the president and Secre- tary Root did not think his course since the beginning of the Spanish war entitled him to commendation. When Miles in Porto Rico made public all correspondence between himself and General Alger, now senator from Michigan, no attention was paid to it. His vielous attacks on the War Department, resulting in the beef investi- gation, brought great annoyance to the la- mented McKinley's administration. Army officers belleved that a much more effective way could have been taken on the part of the lleutenant geriéral to put & stop to wrongs than to try the whole subject in the public prints. The groups wers there- upon formed in the War Department— Miles and anti-Miles—and as the anti- Miles group has been the highest in favor Miles left the regular establishment today without a'word of ‘eulogy from Secretary Root or froma the president, President Roosevelt is no truckler. He has the courage of his convictions, and, belleving that General Miles had committed a most grievous wrong against the army in trying his case before the public, withheld from him even praise due him for his part in the civil and Indlan wars. The wave of sympathy which has already - started may make General Miles commander-in- chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, but the great majority of those who wore the blue will not belleve that Theodore Roogevelt has willfully withheld praise from any soldler unless there was suf- clent reason for such an act. Work on Army Posts Quartermaster General Humphrey, since his assumption of the construction depart- ment of the army, has taken an active interest In reviewing work mow going on at the various military posts throughout the United States. By his direction & syn- opsis of the work under progress has been prepared for the use of The Bee, showing the present conditions as to buflding and equipment - of military posts adjacent to Omaha. Beyond instructions having been given to invite proposals for an addition to the hospital at Fort Robinson, there is no further record of any constriction work in progress at any of the army posts in the Antelope state. At Fort Des Molnes, however, in lowa, the utmost activity s shown, contraetd having been let for all kinds of ~barracks, stables, hay sheds, granaries, subsistence and quartermaster's storehouses, and such other bulldings as aro needed to equip this new post of the Department of the Missourl. Many of these quarters are nearly completed, while the rest are to be finished before the end of the year, as already those in authority in Washington, directing the movement of troops, are speculating as to which one of the cavalry regiments will be assigned to occupancy of this post. At Fort Meade one double barrack is un- der construction, requiring its sompletion on September ‘1. Instructions have been given to.invite bids for an addiion to the hospital at this post, bids to be opened on | Monday next. A post exchange and gym- nasium was contracted for in June of this year at Fort Meade, work to be completed by January L In Wyoming a great deal of work is be- 1hg done on permanent garrisons.

(Copyright, 133, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Aug. 8.—(New York World Ca- blegram—8pecial ‘Telegram.)—Morganeer- ing," only lately a frightful bogey to Englishmen, has become a gibe. It Is a long time since any event has caused such universal gratification throughout England as the depreclation J. Plerpont Morgan's prestige has undérgone as a result of the current trust troubles. Mr. Morgan had become a veritable bug- bear to Englishtuen. It was feared that the International Bhipping trust was only an introduction to schemes fof controlling Great Britain's chief industries. Their self- respect was. touched, too, by the sugges- tion underlying Mr. Morgan's plans that he was setting about teaching them how really to utilize thelr industrial eoppor- tunities. Although by all rules of finance the Ship trust was known to be grossly over-capital- ized, still Mr. Morgan had succeeded In creating such a scare it was belleved that by some mysterious agency of his own he would be able to reverse arithmetical laws and make It a paying concern, ultimately getting contnol of the entire British ship- ping trade, It is & common thing now to sum up Morgan by saying that he is ‘only a Hooley on a big scale. In oity circles it would be impossible for him to carry out any big scheme, the distrust of his meth- ods 18 so profound. YOUNG EARL HAS ASSURANCE in Leading Landlord Irre- conetlables.

At mine 37 of the same company & number of other houses were damaged. In both camps per- haps twenty-five or thirty persons were injured slightly. At Nelson, about five miles north of Pittsburg, the depot was wrecked and sev- eral houses were blown from thelr founda- tions. J.
