The City of Shoes Visited by
Conflaaration.
LOSS ESTIMATED AT TEN MILLIONS.
BaHdn8 Blown Up to Divert the Flames
TIionsHnd People Thrown out of Em
ploymentMany Homeless.
-Sis
Lynn, Mas., Not. 26. Lynn, the city
of shoes, was visited this afternoon by
the greHtest fire in its history, and, with
two exceptions, the conflagration is the
most disastrous that ever visited New
England. The fire Btarted about coou,
raged over eight hours, devastated ot?
a square mile of the business section of
the city, and caused a loss estimatsc
at 810,000,000. In fact the grent-r
vri t -
of Ward Four is wiped out,, as regards
the important shoe manufacturing blocks
and prominent places of business. -
The fire started in Mower's wooden
building on Olamont street, and soon
communicated with the six-story brick
block known aa Mower's block. Almost
simultaneously the four-story wooden
shoe factory of Bennett & Barnard, on
Central avenue, and the four-story wood
en building on Almont street oaogb
fire. At and after this time a hurricane
of name was in progress.
The burned territory includes dwell
ing houses too numerous to mention, be
sides a vast area of businebs blocks.
Aid arrived from Boston, Salem, Mar
ble Head and the surrounding towns
After the fire had been in progress every
body declared that it would not stop un
til it reached the ocean, and snch proved
the case. Four daily newspapers art;
burned out. There were many narrow
escapes from accident, but do fatalties
reported.
A narrow escape from death was that
of Ernest Williamson, who volunteered
to take a line of hoie up a ladder. He
was followed by several others, but al
most as soon as they reached the roof
the intense heat compelled them to beat
a hasty retreat. Williamson was the last
man to descend, nearly suffocated, and
before he could get a footing on the lad
der his face was badly burned.
Thieves came in from Boston and else
where in large numbers and the amount
of stealing was large.
A house blown up with powder i,
Broad and Exchange streets shaiierti
windows in ail directions, out tne meas-j
nre was effectual in stopping the .pro
gress of the flames in that direction.
The streets were covered with a net.
work of falling wires, which somewhat
retarded the progress of the firemon.
The Central station of the Boston &
Maine road was burned flat, and the
flames then leaped across Mt. Vernon
street. At this juncture several citizens
asked the mayor to have some brick
blocks on Mt. Vernon street blown up
with dynamite in order to stop the flames.
The mayor thought that such a oourse
would imperil lives and be a hindrance
to the firemen. Several small buildings
were, however, blown up, down on Ex
change street, but the effect was very
slight. A hopeful feeling prevails, and
there is no question but that the oitizens
and shoe manufacturers will soon rally
from the terrible catastrophe.
It is impossible to give any correct es
timate of the insurance, but conservative
estimates place the loss at $10,000,000.
The First Methodist and First Umver-
salist churches and several houses have
been thrown open to accommodate the
burned out families.
The mayor has called a special meet
ing of the aldermen to take aotion and
appoint relief committees.
Dynamite and powder were used at fre
quent intervals to blow np the wooden
buildings, but with little effect. The
fire virtually burned itself out. Both
companies of the Massachusetts militia
located at Lynn were oalled out and put
on patrol duty.
LOOKING OVER THE RUINS.
Providing for the
Distressed
aFand. -Boston Ra'ses
Linn, Mass., Nov. 27. The city is pa
troled by militia 250 men being on duty,
stationed at the entrance of the rained
streets, barring approach to the burned
district. The guard is strict. Guards
are stationed at the stores, which have
been partially cleaned out, to prevent
thieves from taking what is left. No one
is permitted to pass the Guards without
a permit from the city clerk.
Through the associated charities many
families were furnished lodgings last
night in rooms hired at lodging and
dwelling houses, and rations oi hot soup,
orackers and bread are being served to
all in need of food. As soou as some
plan for assistance can beSdevised, the
work of providing for the destitute fam
ilies will progress rapidly.
THE ESTIMATED LOSS.
Boston, Nov. 27. The manufacturers
here are of the opinion that the total loss
at Lynn is nearly 85,000,000. The num
ber of buildings burned is 296, of which
42 were brick block, 112 wooden build
ings used for business purposes, and 142
dwellings occupied by 164 families.
The number of laboring people thrown
out of work is estimated at 8000.
THE HEAVIEST LOSERS.
Lynn, Mass , Nov. 27. Among the
heaviest losers are: P. Mower Bros.,
$100,000; Stuen & Black, $50,000; Spin

THE IXSTJBAXCE.
The insurance adjusters present esti
mate the total insurance on the burned
property at two and three-quarter mill
ions. The insurance is practically a to
tal loss, there being but little salvage.
THE NEWSPAPERS.
The Lynn Daily Item was the first to
erect itfl little office on the site of its for
mer office, with the sign "Daily Item of
fice. All ready for business."
WILL REBUILD.
I. W. Breed, who lost the largest of his
factories, says that the most of the man
faeturers will rebuild here, and before
many months we shall see the city as
prosperous as before the fire. :
. AID FOE THE S OFFEREES.
Shortly aftor noon the mayor called
to order a meeting of citizens desirous of
aiding the sufferers. Telegrams offering
assistunoe in cash or anything else were
received from Boston and a number of
neighboring towns. A committee was ap
pointed to make a report of the probable
oes, the number of people deprived of
employment and the length of time that
wuld elapse before they oould again
get ic worK. a. subscription list was
started and generous contributions were
received. -
BOSTON COMES TO THE FftONT.
Boston, Nov. 27. A meeting of citi
zens was hold this afternoon, the mayor
presiding, to take action for the relief
of the sufferers by the Lynn fire. A re
lief committee was appointed and $5050
was subscribed on the spot.

"CHEAP CIGARS"
Disastrous Expediences of Two Bharpera
The.r Little Scheme.
There was a mysterious air about a
couple of Spanish-looking individuals,
who yesterday morning appiared at the
jack door of the Laurel Club honse and
bailed Charley Chapman, the proprietor.
He went to them and after considerable
parleying they told him that they had
some smuggled cigars for sale very
cheap, aud as they spoke they produced
a box of nice looking smokes, and ask
ed him to sample one. Mr. Chapman,
however, is hot looking for that sort of
thing, and determined not to give his
visitors a chance to work their little
scheme elsewhere, he whipped out a pis
tol, and sticking it under their noses told
them that they were under arrest.
His persuasive manner acted like a
charm, for they stood there meekly un
til the arrival of Deputy Marshal Dur
ham, who esoorted them to the county
jaiL At that place the box of cigars was
examined and it was found that the du
ty had been paid upon them so the
prisoners were taken before U. S. com
missioner Fage-Tustin to see if that
gentleman had any grounds on which to
hold them. He found that they had
not violated the internal revenue law
in any manner so he ordered them liber
ated, whereupon they immediately struck
out of town satisfied with their experi
ence in Pendleton.
The modus operandi of this class of
sharpers is to purchase a duty-paid box
of very fine cigars and place on the top
row one good smoke. Then they ap
proach some individual they think gul
lible, and teiiing him the cigars are
smuggled and are worth twenty-five
cents apiece get him to sample one, tak
ing care that he gets the only good one
If they effect a sale they make a profit of
about 200 per cent. Pendleton Tribune.
A HOT THANKSGIVING.
Boston Visited in Turn By a Con
flagration. LOSS ESTIMATED AT FIVE MILLIONS.
Many Magnificent Structures Destroyed The
Origin of the Fire and Its Limits
Assistance From Neigh
boring Towns.
Boston, Nov. 28. The most disastrous
fire from which Boston has suffered since
1872 and one which in property loss
rivals the great conflagration at Lynn,
Tuesday, broke out about 8 :20 a. m. to
day in the six-story granite building
owned by Jorden, Marsh & Co., dry
goods merchants, on Bedford street, at
the corner of Kingston. The great fire
of 1872 broke out at the corner of Kings
ton and Summer streets, and the alarm
of to-day's fire was rung in from the
same box which heralded the memorable
conflagration that consumed nearly
$100,000,000 of property. The firet alarm
rung in to-day was immediately follow
ed by the first general alarm in Boston
since 1872.
To-day's conflagration raged for six
hours, burned over two acres of territory
covered by magnificent structures, and
entailed a loss of, as now estimated,
$4,000,000. The general alarm was soon
followed by calls upon all the neighbor
ing cities and towns for assistance.
Flames were soon pouring from all the
windows and the roof of the Brown-Du-
rell building. At 8:45 they had spread
to the shoe and leather exchange build
ing, another large granite structure, ad
joining Brown, Durell & Co., on Bedford
street. From the- other buildings the
flames swept in great masses across
Bedford street to the opposite corner
and thence aoross Kingston street along
Bedford to Chauncey, where it was
stopped in the store of Farley, Harvey &
Co., the upper stories of which were
burned, three stores along Chauncey
street toward Summer were burned.
Ou the south side of Bedford street the
flames jumped across Kingston street
from the hot blaze from the building of
Brown, Durell & Co. to the big sand
stone building owned by F. L. Ames
and occupied by Taylor Bros., and was
consumed. The great granite building
known as the Nevin's block, at the cor-1
ner of Chauncey street, was the next
victim for the flames, and the entire
block, clear around Kowe place to
Kingston street, was consumed. Cross
ing Chauncey street, the fire soon had
a good hold of all the stores which are
mclosed in Exeter place, a small street
running from Harrison avenue to Chaun
cey street. Here the firemen got con
trol. At the Kowe place the fire was
partially checked from' going
towards Essex street, but quickly
moved toward the opposite side to the
immense Allen & Larribee buildings,
occupying the square between Bedford
street, Harrison avenue extension and
Exeter place, at which point tne further
progress of the flames was checked.
The firemen were aided by the pour
ing rain which lasted from early last
evening until just about the time they
got the fire under control at noon. Oth
erwise there is but little doubt that oth
er fires would have been started by the
storm of embers, some of them as large
as a half a brick, which fell like a snow
storm in all directions, but principally
toward the great dry goods stores on
Washington street. The soaked con
dition of the roofs, however, and the
pouring rain extinguished them before
they oould do any damage. There is
but little doubt that but for the deluge
poured from the clouds the fire would
have swept through the common.
Seven people in the building at the
corner of Kiagston and Bedford streets
were overcome by the smoke but were
rescued by the bravery of Police Ser
geant Kimball, Patrolman Haines and
ex-Councilman Barry. A policeman and
several firemen are reported to have
been severely injured or burned. The
origin of the fire is not definitely known,
but it is attributed to the electrio wires.
Later estimates of the loss place it - at
nearly $5,000,000. About two hundred
firms were burned out, and one hundred
agents of New York and Western firms
had their headquarters destroyed,
The agents of a large number of the
insurance companies interested were
seen by a reporter and asked aa to their
losses. The risks which could be ascer
tained to-day amount to nearly $2,700,-
000, while a large number of companies
have not yet been heard from. The fire,
coming as it does on top of the great
blaze at Lynn, is a crushing blow to
many of the smaller insurance companies.
It is not at all unlikely that it will
cause the suspension of some of them.
Scattering Money in Winnipeg.
Chicago, Nov. 28. A dispatch from
Winnipeg says that the police have dis
covered that the man Inglis, who acted
as the custodian of the relief fund of Spo
kane Falls at the great fire, and who,
it is alleged, skipped with a large amount
of money, was in that city this week
scattering money lively in high life. They
say tlst he left for Toronto Tuesday.
A Victim to Cigarettes.
Philadelphia, Nov. 28. Christ Kleinz,
14 years of age, is lying in a critical con
dition, which is the result of excessive
igarette smoking. About a year ago he
was taken violently ill, having several fits.
On Monday last, his body began to swell
until nearly twioe its normal size and at
tending physicians said that death would
ensue within twenty-four hours unless
perspiration could be induced. After
long work this was accomplished, and to
night the boy is resting more easy, with
with a chance of recovery.

THE BIG CHICAGO LAND SWINDLE.
Scandinavians Fay for Real Estate but are
Defrauded of Titles.
Chicago, Nov. 26. Sensational devel
opments are following each other rapidly
in the million dollar swindle of Freder
icksen & Co., land agents. To-night it
is asserted that a thousand of the set
tlers, mainly Scandinavians, in KaLSas,
Iowa and other Western states, who had,
as they supposed, paid for their lands
and got deeds from Fredericksen, have
absolutely no title to them. Dark hints
are dropped that back of Fredericksen
were parties in Milwaukee, who are the
real beneficiaries of the gigantic frauds,
Wholesale arrests of clerks and other
persons in Chicago, who brazenly acted
as Frederiokson's tools, are talked of.
To-morrow the state's attorney and
the chief sufferers will consult and organ
ize a plan of campaign. Eight or ten
Eastern capitalists are said by one au
thority this evening to have contributed
$100,000 each to Fredericksen's coffers,
and $70,000 is thought to have been
dropped by a single victim out of the
many in Milwaukee. E. G. Clnmbstock
is another Wisoonsin victim. Mr. Cowle
was heard declaring this afternoon that
Fredericksen's arrest would be Becured
if it were necessary to follow him to the
end of the world. Cowle says that two
hundred servant girls in Chicago invest
ed with Frederioksen, from $50 to $400
each, and have lost all. Among the Chi
cago capitalists who are mentioned as
having bad confidence in Frederioksen
and suffered thereby are E. G. South
worth, the steel man, and S. W. Rawson,
a barker. Besides these the losers are
said to include the Fort Dearborn Na
tional bank, and the Chicago Loan aud
Trust Company.
Ex-Governor Rioe, of Wisconsin, one
of the victims of the swindle, arrived
this afternoon. He admits losing $150,
000 aud says that Cashier Nunemaeher,
of the Merchants' Exchange bank, of
Milwaukee, is also a heavy loser, while
C. D. Hendricks, a prominent real es
tate broker of Milwaukee, has lost every
cent he owned and been forced to assign.
The Milwaukeeans believed that the
Cbicagoans had investigated Frederick
sen, and therefore did not themselves
investigate. Rice says that Frederick-
sen's plan was to get an option on a tract
of land from some railroad company,
and representing that he owned it, seU
farms to ignorant emigrants. Abstracts
were furnished by notaries in Frederick-
sen's office, who certified to anything
Some weeks ago Fredericksen oonfessed
to Nunemaeher, Hendricks and Rice
that he bad been . issuing fraudulent
deeds and mortgages, but the enormous
extent of the deception was not disolosed.
The trio of capitalists let Froderickson
go ahead and form a stock oompany for
$500,000 to carry on the business, and
themselves took most of the stock. Since
then untold other crookedness has come
to their ears, and Frederioksen has fled.
Rice says that a number of large dealers
in railroad lands in Chicago hold Fred
ericksen's paper, but are keeping quiet
for fear it will injure their oredit.
To-day Fredericksen's bookkeeper.
Goodwin, was held in bonds of $15,000
until Saturday. Mr. Vaughan, who was
appointed receiver for Fredericksen,
asked to be disobarged. He reported
that the assets in sight were less than
$100.
A PIPE WITH A HISTORY.
It is Smoked by Agent Moorebonse. Who
Relates the story Connected With
the Souvenir.
Indian Agent Moorehouse now smokes
a pipe with a history, and one which
serves as a dumb, but eloquent memento
of "old times." He took delight in re
lating the following Btory of the pipe to
hie friends, between puffs, as the smoke
ascended in a filmy vapour from the
bowl and was lost in the surrounding
atmosphere:
'It belonged to Eagan, the mighty
war chief of the Bannocks, and one of
the noblest specimens of Indian man
hood and savagery that ever scalped an
enemy or led a party of redskin warriors
to victory.
"It was Egan, it will be remembered,
who, in the war of '78, led his band of
Bannocks to the hill north of Pendleton
and scared some of its residents into
hysterics. Indeed, he would have cap
tured the town had it not been for the
timely arrival of General Miles.
"He was a powerful foe, and General
Howard determined upon his capture.
Tbe story of his betrayal by Um-a-pine
to secure a reward of $500, is a familiar
one. That Indian, representing him
self as a friend and ally, threw the wily
ohieftain off his guard, and delivered him
to Ya-ten-e-ou-itz. Eagan made a break
for liberty, but was caught, stabbed and
killed by Ya-ten-e-ou-itz, whose lodge
pole is now adorned with Eagan's scalp.
"The pipe, another trophy of victoryi
desoended in some manner, to Paul
Show-e-way, by whom it was presented
to me. It was a war pipe of the Ban
nock chiefs, and was gravely smoked in
council when a raid upon their pale-faoed
foe was being discussed."
The bowl of the pipe is composed of
t hat reddish colored clay which is seen in
many articles of Indian manufacture.
It is neatly inlaid with silver, evidenc
ing much care and nicety in oonstrnc-
tion. As a souvenir and as a pipe, also,
it is highly valued by Mr. Moorhouse.

AGAINST LAND GRABS.
Montana's Big Fight Against the
Northern Pacific
THE MINERAL LAND CONVENTION.
Millions of Acres Unsnrveyed The Surveyor
Ueneral e New nan.
Helena, Mont., Nov. 28. The mineral
land convention which convenes here to
morrow has unquestionably s severe
task before it and will have to enter into
a bitter fight with the Northern Pacifio
railway over the mineral lands to which
the oompany are trying to obtain title..
Some of these lands have been known to
oontain mineral and have been worked
years before the Northern Pacifio reached
Montana, and the granting of patents to
the company would mean ruin to a large
number of men who have spent years of
toil and all their means in the develop
ment of these claims. Just what the out
come wiU be-and what course the con
vention proposes to pursue, is all a mat
ter of conjeoture at the present writing.
The people are aroused to the importance
of the subject and interesting meetings
may be expected.
To give a conception of what area
Montana possesses, it may be interesting
to add a few statistical faots. There are
at present in this state over sixty million
acres of unsnrveyed lands, representing
about two-thirds of Montana's public
domain. Of this a great deal is moun
tainous land, wbioh perchance will never
be surveyed, unless mining enterprises
find their way to every nook and corner.
To survey all the land would require the
establishment of about 500 new town
ships. Surveyor-General Eaton, in con
versation with several newspaper meu,
stated that he would recommend a new
system of making surveys. He thinks
the old one altogether wrong, and will
suggest that the government deal direct
ly with the sub-contraotors in making
surveys. The appropriation for next
year amounts to $25,000, of which $15,000
is a special one for the lately opened In
dian reservation on Milk river, leaving
but little for other sections.
TIMBER LAND CLAIMS IN OREGON.
The Right of Married Women to File on Them
Being Considered.
Washington, Nov. 28. An important
question, affecting the right of married
women in the state of Oregon to take
lands under the United States timber
act of June 3, 1878, is now being consid
ered, and will soon be decided by the
secretary of the interior. The late com
missioner of the general land office, Mr.
Stockslager, decided that married women
in Oregon oould not take up land under
that act, basing his decison wholly on the
ground of the provisions of the Oregoe
statutes in relation to the rights of mar
ried women in referenoe to holding and
transferring real estate, An appeal from
this ruling was taken to the secretary,
the appellant being Delilah Stuckle.
On account of the importanoe to settlers
in Oregon of an early decision, at the
request of Oregon's representitives the
case has been advanced by the Secretary,
by which action, a year wiU have been
gained.
FOREIGN NEWS NOTES.
The 250 miners who were entombed
in a flooded mine at Rucklenghausen,
Westphalia, Nov. 22, have all been res
oued. The Pall Mall Gazette states that a
virtual rupture has ocourred in the re
lations between Germany and. the Vati
can. The report has been received at Con
stantinople that the steamship India,
with 500 Mohammedan pilgrims on
board, has sunk, the captain and two
passengers being all that were saved.
The Russian government aeooses fe
male physicians of being addicted not
merely to revolutionary opinions but
also to "sentiments and manners un
worthy of their sex." No woman is al
lowed to practice publicly before forty
years of age.
The North German Gazette, Bismarck's
organ, says the situation in Brazil caus
ing the powers no anxiety. The govern
ment of Rio appears to lack neither the
puwer nor the will to maintain order.
There is no need of sending German
men-of-war to Brazil.
Peter Laing, who has probably only

ALL FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.
It is an undisputed fact that the hand
somest vestibule trains that are now
run on the American continent are those
on the "Burlington Route," leaving
the Union Depot in Denver, - also St.
Paul, immediately on arrival of all
through trains from the west. The first
and second class coaches are magnifi
cent, the Reclining chair cars superb,
the Pullman sleepers extremely luxuri
ant, and as for the meals that are served
in those Palace Burlington dining cars
yum-yum. The next time yon go east
to Kansas City, Chicago or St Louis, if
you mention to the ticket agent that
you want your tioket to read from Den
ver or St. Paul over the Burlington
Route, you will get it, and you will al
ways be glad of it.
If you go via the Northern or Canadi
an Pacifio, the elegant vestibule trains
of "The Burlington Lonte," between St.
Paul, Chicago and St. Louis will carry
you alonft the eastern shore of the Miss
issippi river for a distance of 350 miles,
amidst scenery that cannot be surpass
