CAUSED IIY A SPARK.

|Misskapoms, Minn., July 81.— A ►ark from a passlug locomotive irted a fire in the larg-b lumber yard the Shevlin-Carpenter company on ic west river bank Monday afterloon. It proved to be the third bi(r ■laze in the hiatory of the city. It destroyed 23,000,000 feet of lumber, the jBfllce of the Shevlin-Carpenter cominy and twenty-five freight cars, the mnd-house. and the gas works of the .—liicago, St. Caul. Minneapolis A Omajpa Railway company. The losa is 8500,000, and the insurance will amount to 8300,000. The Omaha company is pSBtectcd by a blanket insurance. The fire started shortly after 8 o’clock and owing to the long drought, rendering everything as dry as tinder, spread with alarming rapidity. A strong northwest wind was blowing which swept the fire down the river toward the sawmill. The entire fire department was soon on hand and seven engines came from St. Caul in reep-oise to a call for aid. At 4:80 the Omaha roundhouse was on fire and only with the greatest difficulty were a dozen engines got out and run down the track. Meantime a lint of freight cars caught fire and the efforts of the company were directed to taving them. All were hauled away but twenty-five, some of which were loaded with merchandise. The roundhouse was totally destroyed.

Oah Tanks F.lploUv.

About 5 o’clock two gas tanks near the roundhouse exploded with a terrific roar, stampeding the crowd and spreading the fire. Soon after the boiler of a stationary engine exploded and several men had narrow escapes from instant death. At 3:30, just when It seemed that the fire would sweep down into the business district, the wind shifted, and the danger was practically over. Only by almost superhuman efforts were the Omaha offices, the big warehouses and the

Star elevator saved.

Employes of the railroad company, •t the risk of their lives, with faces and hands blistered by the fearful heat, rushed into the fiercest of the flames to save the dead locomotives ami the cars, many of them emerging from the sea of flame charred and damaged by the fire through which they were brought. Incoming and Outgoing trains were delayed several lours, the fire being adjacent and within a short distance from the union ffiBepot and its network of tracks. There

jlwere no fatalities.

TUe Losses.

fi” The total Loss to the Shcvlin-C arpenter company, as estimated by momhers the company, is $200,000. The in ^surance is 8100.000. The company is I unable to-night to give detail insur- | ance. The Omaha losses are estimated 1 by that company at 8200,000, covered I by blanket insurance. Other losses are I estimated at 8100,000, partially covered 1 by insurance. >o Fear of Cholera.

Obituary.

Jesse Burkett was the youngest •‘on of David and Susie Burkett, of near Ladoga, Montgomery county. He died of cholera infantum on Sun day morning, July ‘2’J, 1891. ()h parents, we fain would tender tin < u ,,y in path y-that would lighten thy burden of affliction and drive the darksome shadows of woe from thy threshold. Jesse has gone out from the sin and sorrow that surround u> here, but the blessings of his pres eiice will linger in the hearts of those who knew him. You must not fee! that Jesse is dead, for we are taught that a human soul can never die. Close your eyes to the sorrows that drag you down to despair and then you can sec in a vision what you shall one day see in reality your lieautiful little Jesse in the exhiiberence of a life that is everlasting. H<‘ is over there awaiting mama and papa to bear them home, and it will not lie long ut best uiilii we shad all

be re-united.

Wc miss thee from thy home, dear Jesse, We miss thee from thj place, A shadow over our life is east; We miss thy loving face. We miss thy little prcttling tongue,

Thy ever luisy hand:

Our home is dark without thee, We miss thee everywhere. A Sisteii.
