A Fierce Fire Raging in Alleghany,
Pa.
MANY BUSINESS BLOCKS BURNED
Engines Sent to the Rescue Prom
Neighboring Cities The Steel
Ship King James Burned .
at Sea.
Pittsburg, April 4. A big fire is
raging in Alleghany. It started in God
frey & Clark's warehouse, a four-
Story building. It ' spread rapidly
to Eberhardt & Ober's malthouse,
elevator and warehouse. At 3 :30
these buildings were entirely des
troyed, and the fire is still spreading,
with a high wind blowing. The entire
fire department is at work, and Pitts
burg has been asked for help. Godfrey
& Clark lose $65,000 ; Eberhardt & Ober,
$100,000.
3:40 p. m. The fire has spread to 12
dwellings. The lumber-yard of Cupp &
Volgbtley is also on fire, and the Heinz
pickle works are threatened.
3:50 p. m. The Hope cotton mills,
Cupp & Volghtley's planing mill, Heinz'
pickle warehouse are all burning, and
two blocks between Sycamore and Chest
nut streets are abaze. The Illinois
leather works, the Globe varnish works,
and the factory of Heinz and Co. will
probably go next. The wind is blowing
a gale, and sparks are flying in all direc
tions. People for a dozen blocks around
are busy extinguishing small fires on
the roofs.
4:30 p. m. The flames are spreading
to three dwellings on Main street, Up
to this hour the loss is $250,000 to $300,
000. Among the buildings destroyed are :
Eberhardt & Ober's warehouse, elevator
and malthouse ; the Godfrey and Clark
paper warehouse, Cupp & Volghtley's
planing mill and lumber-yard, 15 dwell
ings and the Hope cotton mill. The
flames are now spreading toward the
river, and 12 large tenement houses are
threatened. The occupants are moving
out. Engines have been sent from this
city.
4:20 p. m. The fire is believed to be
under control. The rumor that a child
was burned to death is not verified.
One Boatload Saved.
San Francisco, April 4. A boat con
taining the first mate, 13 men and two
apprentices of the four-masted steel ship
King James, coal laden, from Newcastle,
England, for San Francisco, has landed
at Point Conception, on the southern
California coast. The coal took fire on
March 19th. On the 30th an explosion
occurred which tore up the deck in all
directions, and the ship was soon ablaze.
At midnight, seeing the fire was still
increasing, the crew abandoned their
efforts to control the flames and took to
the boats after securing the best of their
effects. Captain W. Drummond, his
son and -15 men occupied one boat,
while the first mate and the others took
the second boat. April 1st a gale came
up, and after it had spent itself the cap
tain's boat was not in sight. The first
mate, William Mnldoon, says that Cap
tain Drummond was very cautious, and
he would not carry sail to any great ex
tent, and may be heard from at any
hour. After leaving the vessel they put
themselves in tow of her till 3 a. m.,
March 31st, when it was decided to
abandon the ship and make for Point
Conception, which was found by obser
vation to be 258 miles away, or San
Francisco, which was but 200 miles.
However, northwest winds seemed to be
the best course to follow, and they
headed southeast, and on the night of
April 2 about 7 o'clock the mate came in
eight of the Point Conception light.
They let go anchor when within three or
four miles of the point, and decided to
wait until daylignt before attempting to
make a landing. About 3 in the morn
ing a three-masted steamer passed going
north. The first mate ordered a blue
light sent up, the last one they had left,
but the steamer paid no attention to
their signal, although they had to
change their course in order to avoid
running the boat down. About 5 a. m.,
while two miles from shore, the steamer
Bonita passed going north. All of the
sixteen men stood up in the boat and
waved their coats to try to attract their
attention, but to no avail, so they came
on to the shore, south of Point Concep
tion lighthouse, and landed on the
beach.
Those in the captain's boat were Cap
tain W. Drummond and son, Second
Mate David Ireland, Edward ElynD,
James Christie, John Perry, Alvin Rob
ertson, William Seaman, Harry Bruce,
Peter Peterson. Christie Larcen, Frank
Keeyon; Stephen Brezon, John Wil
liams, F. Muller and two others, names
unknown. The captain's boat is ex
pected to appear soon . and a close watch
is being kept for her. This was the
King James' first trip.
Supposed Roslyn Bank Robbers.
Baker City, April 4. There was a
fury of excitement on the streets yester
day afternoon when it became known
that Deputy Sheriff Banks, accompanied
by Detectives Farley and Eaton of
Washington, arrived in the city to ar
rest Tom, William and George McCarty,
supposed Roslyn bank robbers. The
Washington officer called to their assist
ance Sheriff Conde and his deputies.
Conde and Francis went to Haines and
called at Wm. McCarty 's residence.
The detective stopped at the gate, and
upon the sheriff entering the house he
was covered by Winchesters in the
hands of Tom and William. The offi
cer was relieved of his rifle and a step
son of William held Conde prisoner
until his father and . uncle escaped. A
posse of men were sent out and are in
hot pursuit. Deputy Kinnison and
Farley went to McEwan and returned
in the evening with George McCarty
and lodged him in jail. The Washing
ton officers believe Tom McCarty is the
individual who robbed the Denver bank
of $21,000 two years ago.
Weather Review for March.
The month cold and generally disa
greeable. The temperature was deficient
from two to six degrees, and the rainfall
was about normal except at Portland,
where there was a deficiency of 28 per
cent.
The month opened with snow on the
ground in northeastern Washington and
in eastern Oregon south and east of the
Blue mountains ; snow fell in these sec
tions during the month ; but at the close
of the month there was no snow on the
ground, except about Baker City, where
there was one inch ; on the higher eleva
tions and mountain, quite deep snow
covers the ground.
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE.
The month had seven low pressures,
or storm areas. Six of them passed east
ward over British Columbia, the seventh
passed eastward over northern Califor
nia to Denver and Omaha.
TEMPERATURE.
The mean temperature for the month
was from two to six degrees before the
March normal, the greatest deficiency
being at Walla Walla, and the least at
Roseburg. The month was devoid of
any low temperatures of any note ; but
had, however, a succession of days when
the temperature would be greatly below
the normal. This closes the fourth con
secutive months during which the tem
perature has been below the normal.
PRECIPITATION.
The precipitation has been about the
normal, except in the interior valleys of
western Oregon, where it is below the
normal and where it is deficient from
one to two and one-half inches. The
precipitation was unusually well dis
tributed, it raining on a greater number
of days than is usual.
WEATHER.
There was an excess of cloudy weather
and a marked deficiency in sunshine.
'. CROPS.
The cool, cloudy weather and frequent
rains have retarded the growth of vege
tation. Spring plowing and seeding
have been delayed. The ground is too wt
for garden making. The fruit buds are
swelling. Some varieties are showing
colored ends of buds, but usually by the
close of March the peach, apricot, al
mond and cherry trees are in full bloom.
Winter wheat has rooted and stooled
well, there has been little winter frozen ;
present prospects point to a most suc
cessful and prosperous year.
Lambing has commenced in some lo
calities ; the stock wintered well and
spring opens to the stockmen most
favorably, for his winter loss has been
small, his stock in good condition and
fair prices rule the market".

ABSOLUTELY PURE
WAS CAUSED BY OPIUM
A fell-Known Actor Suicides by Jnuj
ing Off a Steamship.
WAS COMING TO THE COAST
To Fill a Piofessional Engagement
Killed Himself in a Fit of
Despondency.
New York, April 4. It was John W.
Summers, the well-known actor, who
committed suicide by jumping overboard
from a Pacific Mail Steamship on the
passage from Panama to San Diego, Cal.,
last week. He was born in Kentucky
38 years ago. He went to San Francisco
while a youth .with the intention of
making a fortune in the gold mines, but
instead went on the stage. Mr. Sum
mers soon returned to the East, and
proving himself a clever actor found no
difficulty in obtaining good positions
in the best theatrical companies. He
was a member of A. M. Palmer's Madi
son Square theater for some time, also
one of the Frohman companies. Four
years ago, being in Chicago with a play
written partly by himself, he became a
star. The company was sent to England,
where it met with good success in the
play, which was termed "A Noble Out
cast." Mr. Summers afterward, on his
return to this country, changed the
name of the play to "Jerry," the name
of the part played by himself. Here he
met with indifferent success, opening at
the Windsor in this city early in the
present 'season ; his company was dis
banded at the close of the engagement.
Mr. Summers concluded to try his for
tune again on the Pacific coast, and
sailing from here March 10 for the isth
mus, was on his way to San Francisco,
when, it is supposed in a fit of despond
ency superinduced by the opium habit,
he committed suicide. Air. Summers
was twice married, his first wife being
Anna Boyle, from whom he was divorced
six months ago. His second wife, also
an actress, is at present connected with
a traveling company.
Smith's letter to His Mother.
Chicago, April 3. The inquest on the
1 ody of Ross Smith was held in Evans
ton this afternoon. The facts elicted
were those already told by those dis
patches. Among the personal efiects
found upon him was the following letter
to his mother :
"I am nearly mad with suffering and I
hardly know what I am doing. I am
barely able to move about today. My
sorrow is more than I can stand. I have
asked help from Him on high, but, as
usual, I got the opposite of that for
which I prayed. The only hope I have of
receiving comfort is to get such control
of my emotions that lean keep thoughts
from entering my mind. As the hours
go by and the days pass, I feel I am
growing weaker under the awful strain.
I wrote in my last letter that Mr. Clark
had only succeeded in separating Effie
and me for a matter of time, and that I
still have her affections, but now that is
gone, a natural result from the position
in which Mr. Clark's actions and demand
have placed us. I went out to see her
this week for the first time since she re
cieved her father's cruel letter, and she
told me she could no longer give me the
affection that had been mine during the
last five years. I asked her why her
love had been withdrawn, and she said,
'Father told me I must give you up,
and I can love you no more as I must do
his will.' Oh ! God, I am thankful my
sorrow at this time can come but once in
a lifetime. I feel the climax of my life
has been reached and my doom is closed.
How sweet would have been my sorrow
if I had only followed her to the grave."
