est blow dealt the policy-holders ol
San Francisco bas come in tbe form ot
an announcement from six of tbe larg
est underwriting concern 1, which prac
tically declare tbat tbey will pay no
losses incurred by tbe April fire. The
eartbqnake clause In toe policies is put
forward and tbe statement made tbat
all the damage done by the flames is
attributable to tbe shock.
In this combination of welcbers are

England; Commercial Union Fire In
surance company, of New York ; Pala
tine Fire Insurance ewnpanv, ltd., of

STATE ASYLUM FIRE
Electric Ught lire Starts Flame
la Oregon Institution.
BUT UTTLE DAMAGE IS DONE
Convicts Aid the Fore of Employs
and Patients Were Cared for
Without Excitement.
Salem, Or., July 88. Fire, which
probably origiated from an electric
light wire, bured the woodwork out ol
the attic of one of the central wards ot
the state inrau asylum yesterday just
before the noon hour. The Br was
confined to the on ward, and was at
no time in danger ot gettiag beyond the
control of the fir fighters. The two
fir companies, composed of asylum
employes, aided by the Salem fire de
partment and by convicts and guards
from the penitentiary, saved the build
ing. The loss is due chiefly to damage
from water seeping through the floors
and ceilings. Superintendent Cat
breath thinks the damage can be re
paired tor $2,500, though it may cost
$5 000.
Owing to the fact that th patients
at the asylmtt are given weekly fir
drill, they were quickly marched ont ot
the boilding and were at no tlm In
any danger. On attendant, G. V.
Bogge, fainted from exhaustion after an
honr's bard work in the smoke and
heat. ' "' j ...
' The fir originated In the attle over
the first tier ol ward north of the cen
tral section ot the building. These
wards are occupied by new patients and
by patients who are convalescing. Tbe
patients had been out in the yard exer
cising, and bad just marched in to pre
pare for the noon meat when the auto
matic alarm gave warning ot a fire in
the attic. The patients, numbering
about 120 in the three wards in this
tier, were quickly marched out, and tbe
fir companies hurriedly stretched boee.
Eleven convicts who were excavating
In the basement hastened to assist, and
rendered service In handling the line
of hose op on the roof, a task both la
borious and dangerous, for tb men bad
to work at times on coping In order to
drag the hose around coiners. In
few minutes alter tbe alarm was sound'
ed six lines of bos nnder 100 pounds
pressure were playing on tbe fire, and
soon the Salem fire department arrived
and tamed on two streams more.
The patient were entirely calm and
showed no excitement whatever. Those
patient who were in tbe wards distant
from tbe part ot tbe boilding In which
the fire originated were not taken out
of the boilding, but were kept In readi
ness to go out at any time.
The asylum has its own water sys
tem, receiving its water from wells at
the prison, a quarter of a mile distant.
Tbe state carries no insurance on the
boilding.

ment ha altered lis plan of action
against the Standard Oil enmpsnv, and
