RATIONS FOR THE ' i | I ' [ I ! ; Escaped a Live Wire. Spokane, Wash., Nov. 28.—Wager Hurlburt, aged 24, grasjied an electric light cord tonight, gave n gasp and fell forward dead. The tragedy was enact ed in the barn at the residence of E. E. Reid. The electric light there was out of repair. Mr. Reid carried a lamp and remarked that he could feel electrioity in the air. Hurlburt gave the cord a pull and electric sparks flew from his hand. He was dead in an instant. A short oircuit is ascribed as the cause of his death, but electricians are puzzled, as they claim under any possible condi tions the victim could not have received a greater voltage than 200.

Gold stein, who claims a portion of the towneite of Juneau under a mineral location. In 1888 he located Bonanza lode, which takes in 21 acres of the business portion of Juneau, and made application for a United States patent, which was contested by the citizens of Juneau.

AT ANNISTON. ALONG THE COAST. Negro Soldier* Open Fire on the Pro« voit Guard* FIREMEN SAY THERE ARE MORE Several Person* Are Still Mlasing— Re moval of th** l»**bria by Fire Depart ment—Plana for Rebuilding. San Francisoo, Nov. 26.—The dead body of J. M. Leightbead was removed from the ruins of the.Baldwin hotel to day. The body was discovered in the bathroom adjoining hits apartment, sit ting in a chair, almost as natural as life. It was partially burned and blackened by smoke, but was easily reoognizable. It is supposed he fell asleep in the chair and was overcome by smoke before the flames commenced to eat at his flesh. Late this afternoon, an unrecogniz able body, supposed to be that of a woman, was recovered from tbe ruins of the theater. Tho belief that there are more bodies still in the ruins is gaining oredence, and the firemen to day reported that a terrible odor, such as follows the incineration of flesh, is gradually becoming apparent. This is particularly true in the debris on the Ellis-street side, where it is believed persons were lost whose identity is un known, and who were not included in the list of guests. Four persons are known to be mis sing. They are John J. Carter, asso ciate judge of the Jockey Club; Tate Pryor, sheetwriter for Bookmaker J. J. Carroll; Mr. Andrews, cashier of the Baldwin Grotto; W. W. Benchley, an employe of the restaurant. Arrangements for the removal of the debris are being carried on under the supervision of the fire department, and I already much valuable property has I been recovered. The hotel safe, containing many valu ables belonging to guests, has lieen lo cated, and the work of righting it, rireparatory to opening it, is being prosecuted as rapidly as its dangerous position will admit. Over *30,000 be longing to horsemen is in the safe. The work of clearing away the ruins will commence as the ruins cool enough to permit workmen to go ahead with the contract. The disposition of the site of the old Baldwin is an interesting one, and j there are dozens of rumors connecting different capitalists and concerns with the erection of a structure to cover the razed hotel and the popular Baldwin theater. The fire department now believe the flames originated in the hotel kitchen, but the police are convinced that they started in the rear of the Baldwin thea ter. There were many narrow escapes from death, and the marvel is how the many guests of the hotel snceeded in escaping within the short time afforded them, as the spread of tbe flames was remarkably rapid. A. H. Christie, of Milwaukee, was rescued from a perilous position on tbe roof by Fireman Ed Keho. When res cued Mr. Christie had a razor in his hand, with the determination to kill himself rather than plunge into the seething flaiues that raged beneath , him. W. A. Ballard, a merchant of Scran ton, Pa., was bereft of all his clothes j and papers. Amon Blumenthal and Joseph Sum merfield, book makers, who registered from Chicago, occupied rooms in the fourth floor almost over the Powell- street entrance. Both of them escaped in their pajamas and are glad to be alive. Royal Scott, who represents Mar shall, Field & Co., of Chicago, was awakened aS soon as tbe alarm was sounded through the Isouee, when lie dressed and escaped. He returned I within a few minutes to secure some of his belongings, but was driven back by the dense smoke. Immigration Commissioner W. M. Rice, of Victoria, B. C., who had a room on the fourth floor of the hotel, had a very close call, but succeeded in reaching the street in safety. The entire scenic and mechanical effects and wardrobe of the ‘Secret I i Service” company were destroyed by fire. Manager Robert M. Eberle esti mates tbe loss at *6,000. Mr. Gillette I will take the California theater Mon- i ’ Jay evening and play out hie engage- ! merit there. E. J. Baldwin said today that the fire meant a loss to him of about *2,- I 500,000, as he had expended that ■ »mount in building, altering and fur- i uishing the hotel. Fire Marshal Towe declares that the i atrncture was a death trap, and says that no such a flimsy structure shall again be erected in the heart of thecity. E. J. Baldwin’s property in this city and Los Angeles, with the exception of [ a small part of the Santa Anita ranch, is covered by a blanket mortgage w hich ¡alls for the payment of a debt of fl,- ( 825,000 with interest at 6 1 j per cent a year, except that money loaned on property in tbe city of Loe Angeles is to bear 8 per cent a year. About *900,000 of the mortgage covers the Baldwin hotel property, and the opinion is entertained that the site alone is worth at least *500,000 over i the mortgage. The insurance on the stocks of goods ’ in the burned stores and their fittings will amount to *92,250. George A. Moss carried *22,800; Hyman & Myers, *30,500; Isaac Grant's drug store, *5,- 000; J. J. Groom. *3,000; Moses A. Gnnst, *10,000; J. Edlin, *8,500, and smaller sums were carried by other tenants. The smoke and water damage in the adjoining buildings was *20,000, so that *150.000 will cover insurance. A careful estimate of the lose caused by the Baldwin hotel fire places the . total at *1,500,000, or Cenerai Intercat Gleaned From tbe Thriving I'aelflo States.
