Mr. Sherman Is at Good Samar itan hospital, Portland, and the latest reports from that Institution are to effect that he. la getting along nicely after the operation performed for ab wreea of tbe ear. It waa again re ported last night that he was dead, but Investigation developed the fact that thta rumor, like those circulated prev iously, was without tbe allghteat foun dation. The reports have been ex tremely annoying to bis slaters and otber relatlvee In this city, and their source la unknown. Mrs. Sherman la with her husband at the hospital, Hta early recovsry 1 looked for, fender. It appeared from the brief evidence offered that th woman 1 addicted to the drink habit, and ah la aald to hav deserted ber child to visit saloons, where she became Intox icated, The child la but 4 year of age. When her case was called she wept bitterly and begged pitfously to be leniently dealt with. Judge Ander son dlllvered to her a very ever lec ture, advising her to hereafter re frain from the use of Intoxicants and to care for her little one. , She promis ed to never again touch liquor and was allowed to go. It Is aald that ihe woman has been found Intoxicated in me oacx room cf saloons with her child b'. her aide. She is middle-aged ana cnppiea, and her arrest waa due to a desire on the part of the police to break ber of the liquor habft. When the alarm of fire was turned In yesterday afternoon on account of the blaze at the Wherlty residence a large crowd started down. Commercial atreet rind many wended tbelr way weatward along Bond to tbe scene of tbe cos ffagratloa. When tbe crowd got as far a Chinatown cmoke was seen curling up from the Chinese bouse at Eighth and r.ond, and many believed the blaze there had called out the engine. Xlowever, neither the chemical nor hose w.-igon No. 1 was in right. Th fire on the v roof of tbe Chinese houae was due to a defective flue, but, although it was not dangerous, as all the adjoin ing building are provided with Iron roofing, there was great excitement among the Celestial population. Fear ful Chinese poked- their heads out of doors, gazed In terror at tbe cloud of smoke and ttyn disappeared to get to gether their effects in tbe event of spread of tbe blaze. There followed, a kl-j-llng that could be beard f. blocks. and a large number of excited Mon golians congregated on the corner and shouted" ad vl- to those most deeply concerned. Finally one particularly br.ive fellow mounted tbe roof and for some minute clung to the . chimney while the smoke and sparks poured forth. H bad been there Ave min ute or mors when a backet of water wa passed to nlm and be hastened to pour the content In tbe smoking flue. The Celestials next secured ft garden hos and with this the oriental fireman completed hi work. The Incident was extremely funny nnd the big , crowd which bad gathered laughed heartily at the antics of the Chinamen, who ap pear to lose all sense of reason during the prevalence of fires.
