BIO SI'OKANE FIIIE
A Six-Story LodRlng House
Totally Destroyed.
Ncrrral Mrra Were Lout and I'ropfrt;
to the Value of Nearly Hair a
' Million CotiHamt-d.
HroKANK, Jan. 21 A (Ire in which the
loaarun up to MO'l.OOO worth of prop
erty and at the very leant Ave lives were
loet took place Ujiiiicht. The Great East
ern block at the corner of Post street
and Riveraide avenue, bin stories in
IicikIiI, and conatructed of brick, caught
fire shout 1 1 :4"i p. rn., and in three hours
waa totally deinulNhed.
AH of the upier two flwrs and part ol
tlie third floor were naed lor lodfing put
pows, and at IckmI 150 )ieople were asleep
In the building when the lire started.
While moot ol them ecaed with only
! their night clothes, it is thought a num
ber perished. What makes the horror
greater, is that no one knows who is still
impriaoned. As the eople were re
moved fro .11 the burning structure or es
caied tlieinxelvea, they Mught places ol
safety. The last out of (he tipper floors
reoit forms lying In the hall, and
women shrieking in the flames. The
origin of the fire is supposed to have been
in the enuine room.
Mra. Stark Oliver, wife of Dr. fUrk
Oliver, who lived on the recond floor,
an ahe heard an explosion shortly be
fore the flames appeared. The boiler of
the engine may have exploded, and
caii-ed the Are to start. There is another
theory, and that is that the chemicals in
the bieiiient, stored there for photo
graphic rupply of John W. Graham A
Co., exploded.
ltecaue ol the network of live electric
wires surrounding the . building, it wan
with the utmost difficulty that the lad
ders of the department were elevated.
While they were going up, the people
were at the windows, flames, and smoke
bursting out about them, shrieking,
while crowds ol people on the street be
low ehriekfd in sympathy with them.
Mrs. II.G. Davies, of Nebranka City,
Neb., fell or jumped from a fifth-stor
window to the cement pavement below
She died at the Sacred Heart hospital
two hours later.
A thrilling rescue was that of Robert
Masao, his wife and their 2-year-old son
from the fifth floor on the Poet-street
side. From a fire excupe on the fourth
fl or seven feet to one side from their
window, a fireman threw them a rope,
which Masson matte fait to his bed, and
came down band over hand, carrying his
boy. Mrs. Masson followed. As she
hung suspended far shove the ground,
the huge crowd watched with breathless
interest. When she was graped by the
fireman a shout of joy went up.
The lives known to be lost are those of
Roe Wilson, aged IS, and Rose Smith,
an invalid, agud '20, besides Mrs. Davie.
Other bodies are supposed to be in the
building, which is to hot yet to enter.
The Raporti Grow Woraa.
Spokanis, Wash., Jan. 25. Eight
lives, and probably nine, were lost in
last night'b fire in the Great Eastern
block, They are:
Miss Alice Wilson, aged 18, employed
as a hat trimmer, her sifter, Maud Wil
son, aged 5; Mrs. Rose Smith, aged 20;
Mrs. II. G. Davies, an elderly lady from
Nebranka City, Nebraska, who fell in de
scending from the fifth story and died
at the hospital this morning; W. B.
Gordon, mining engineer and expert;
Mrs. Cora Peters and her daughters,
Ethel and Alma, aged respectively 9 and
7 years.
None of the remains of those loet have
been recovered. The four walla of the
big building remain intact and the fire is
still burning in the basement. In that
appalling mass of blackened debris lie
the bodies of the victims.
Murdered Hit Brother.
Yhkka, Cal., Jan. 12. Morris Cronin,
a mining man, was shot and fatally
wounded by his brother this afternoon
about four miles below Sawyers. The
brothers had been on unfriendly terms
for some time, having had trouble over
a mining claim. This afternoon Morris
met his brother Patrick on the trail be
tween the bar and the tatter's claim and
shot him three times. One of the bul
lets took effect in the groin, another in
the neck and the third in the leg. The
doctor who was summoned pronounced
the wounds fatal.
Morris gave himself up and Sheriff
Ilobbs has sent a deputy over the moun
tain to bring the prisoner to Yreka.
WaoMin Makei a OonfesUn.
IIiixshoro, Jan. 25. Gus Wachlin
has made a confession as to what part
he took in the rnurdorof John D. Leurick.
Wachlin says Robert Buck, a neighbor,
committed the murder and alter the
crime was committed Buck told him
j about it and asked him to assixt in bury
I ing the body, which he did. Buck then
(old Wachln he was equally guilty with
him and purauaded the . latter to take
Ledrick'a team and wagon and leave the
country so as to prevent suspicion of
Euck. The confession ia sworn to be
fore J. N. Brown a notary public who is
also one of Wachlin'a attorneys. The
story fa a very "fishy" one and while
there are tome evidence of illiteracy in
the construction of the letter, It Is by no
means such a letter as so ignorant a
man as Wachlin would write. Very
little credence is put in tne circumstance

GENERATING ELECTRICITY
New French Method of Securing a Cor
rent From Heal.
The French electrician, Marcel Duprez,
has brought to the attention of the
French academy a near laboratory meth
od of developing electricity direct from
heat, which may, perhaps, eventually
prove the foundation of a practical sys
tem of securing this much-coveted con
version of energy. The thermo-electric
battery, in which rods of two different
metals, such as antimony and bismuth,
are soldered together and the junction
heated, has hitherto been the only
method of accomplishing this result,
even in a laboratory. The new method
is based on the remarkable magnetic
properties of alloys of iron and nickel,
which, while strongly magnetic at one
temperature, becomes non-magnetic with
a rise of temperature of about 50 degrees
centigrade. An alloy of 30 per cent
nickel looses its mjgnetUm at about 100
degrees and is strongly magnetic at 50
degrees centigrade. An armature con
structed of thiii alloy and mounted so as
to revolve freely between the poles of a
powerful mignet will have a current
generated in it in one direction when it
is at a temperature of 50 degrees, and
consequently, is in a magnetic condition,
and a current in the opposite direction
will be produced when it has a temper
ature of 100 degrees, and, therefore, ia
in a non-magnetic condition.

Appointed Postmaster.
Last Friday evening the anouncamsnt
