A TOWN BURNED. Fire Sweep* Away Jeroaae, A. Eleven Fenoni Known to Be Deed -Loss Over f5,000,000. Prescott, A. TANARUS., Sept. 12.-The town of Jerome, near here, was completely wiped out Sunday morning by fire, entailing a loss of over $1,000,000 in proptrty. Eleven bodies have so far been recovered, while a score or more are said to be in the ruins or missing. The fire originated from a gasoline stove in a cabin and spread so rapidly and fiercely that it was impossible to save even the clothing. The fire was confined exclusively to the business portion of the town, and the open group intervening between it apd the mammoth works of the United Verde company saved the latter’s plant, otherwise the loss and suffering would have been terrible. Many peojMe from Jerome are arriving here on special trains, while those remaining are being cared for by the company. The area of the fire was confined to a narrow gulch and ravines leading to it, in which were located substantial wooden and stone buildings, the latter melting as rapidly before the flames as pasteboard. Over 150 residences, averaging in value $8,000; 25 general merchandise and other stores, saloons, etc., of all kinds, are wiped out; in short, not a single business house remains. The only building to escape was the Methodist church. The number of people who are homeless is placed at 1,500, and they are being cared for by Messrs. Giroux and Allen, of the mining company. Two special trains have left here for the scene of the disaster, carrying tents and other material to comfort the distressed, and a meeting was held here Sunday night to raise money for the needy, of whom there are many. The loss is complete, but little insurance being written in that camp, owing to the great risk and inadequate water supply. The United Verde company is now kindly caring for the sufferers until other arrangements are made, f ■ - - —-- The fife started at seven o’clock in the morning, and spread with such rapidity that in less time than two hours not a house in a radius that were covered by five block* was left standing. On the other side of the gulch hundreds of pounds of giant powder was used in the attempt to arrest the flames by demolishing buildings, but eyewitnesses state that as soon as a gap was made the scattered buildings were licked up as if by suction, and thrown hundreds of feet in every direction, only to Ignite and increase the fury of the fire. Where the fire originated was the scene of a drunken carousal Saturday night, and while no demonstrations are being made against tbe men who are responsible for it, vbhen the horrors of the dead wear away frern the victims, attention will be given to the men who caused it. They are said t# be Italians. It is said an entire family, consisting of a man and wife and three children, who endeavored ,t# save what they had been years in accumulating, have been found in the ruins, and as the arrivals from the scene reach ‘the city, the devastation reported is only the more pitiable and sad. Dr. Woods, the company physician, narrowly escaped losing all his patients in the hospital, but by good judgment a score of inmates were saved by him by being removed early, and hastily. t ' Various parties are now endeavoring to extricate the remains from the ruins, and until the ground cools sufficiently to permit rescuers to approach the debris it will be impossible to ascertain definitely the names of the victims. Several prominent mining men in the west are said to have been In the town at the tiiqe and are unaccounted for. The reservoir which supplies the town with water was undergoing repairs at the time, but eyewitnesses state that had the water been abundant after ihe fire had gained headway the result would have bees the same. So complete is the disaster that refugees in this city are not oaly penniless but ■re without necessary clothing as well.

DEFIES HIS AUTHORITY. > Gen. Mile. Reported to Hnve Said Thnt He nnd Not Aler Is in - Control of Affair*New York, Sept. 13.—A dispatch to •the press from Camp Wikoff says: Under peremptory orders from Gen, Mileß preparations are being made to break up this camp at once by sendiug home all the soldiers here. This is entirely contrary to what has been the understanding of the officers in command. Gen. Shatter said last week that 6,000 or 7,000 men would be kept here, at least until October, and this was supposed to have been the order of Secretary Alger. • An officer said Monday that when Gen. Miles’ order came a telegram was sent him saying that his order was contrary to that Os Secretary Alger, and Miles replied: “Never mind what Alger says; I am In command now.” Gen. Bates said: “My orders are to send the troops away as fast as transportation can be arranged.” When asked if these orders did not conflict with those of Secretary Alger, he simply said: “They are new orders/’ Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, L. 1., Sept. 13.—The entire attention of the 15,000 soldiers still at Camp, Wikoff is now directed toward the latest developments in regard to the abandonment of the camp here and their removal to the barracks occupied by them before the commencement of the war. Gen. Bates’ orders are to get ail the tfoop® away from here as soon as possible, but according to a statement made by him he is not informed of the means of transportation to be provided 1 by the quartermaster’s department. He i3 unable to estimate the length of time that may be necessary to remove the troops. The troops now here comprise 17 regiments of infantry, seven regiments of cavalry, six batteries of light ! artillery, four batteries of heavy artillery and six companies of the signal corps. Detroit, Sept. 13.—Concerning reports from Camp Wikoff that the camp is preparing to break up under the peremptory new orders fro-m Gen. Miles, Secretary Alger said: “There is nothing new in that. Camp Wikoff from the first was mostly intended as a detention camp. The purpose from the first has been to get the soldiers away from there as soon as possible. No change in purpose is indicated by these dispatches from my own orders given before I left Washington.” Relative to a statement attributing to Gen. Mile 6 the “Never mind what Alger says'” etc., the secretary positively refused to speak.

ELECTION IN MAINE. Eattre Renbllcaa Ticket la Successful—Speaker Reed Retaraed to Congress. Portland, Me., Sept. 13. —The state election Monday resulted in the success of the full republican ticket as follows: Governor, Llewellyn Powers, of Houlton; congressmen, First district, Thomas B. Reed, of Portland; Second district, Nelson Dingiey, of Lewiston; Third district, Edwin C. Burleigh, of Augusta; Fourth district, Charles A. Boutelie, of Bangor. The state elected a solid republican delegation to congress. The four congresmen, nil of whom have attained national reputation, had little or no opposition, although, strangely enough, Speaker Reed had a vigorous opponent in his district. His margin over McKinney, who ran on the democratic ticket, was, however, about thatof 1894, and showed the usual loyalty on the part of his constituents. Mr. Reed’s vote, however, showed a falling off of about 4,000. Mr. Bingley, whose majority exceeds 7,000, did not make a speech during the campaign, confining his efforts to conferences with the committees in the different shire towns. The other two congressmen, Boutelie and Burleigh, did even less, so that it may be said that there never was a campaign in the state where there was so little said of national issues. Returns at midnight from 191 towns out of 430 indicate Gov. Powers’ plurality at about 21,000, a republican loss of 21 per cent, and a democratic loss of only six per cent. The lower branch of the legislature will probably stand 133 republicans to 18 democrats, a gain of 12 for the latter. The senate, however, will remain unchanged, being as in former years, solidly republican. CERVERA BIDS FAREWELL Admiral ( Late Spanish Fleet, Sank OS Santiago, Sails for His Native Laid. . _____ Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 13. The City of Rome with Admiral Cervera and staff and over 1,700 Spanish prisoners, sailed Saturday afternoon for Santander, Spain. Os the number, 1,668 men were from the prison at Seavey’s island. At soon as the prisoners were safely on board the steamer, the 104 sick men in the hospital were carefully moved and the last man was carried on board shortly after noon.

Some think that the starch they have been using is all right. We used to think the tallow candle gave a very good light, but after using electric light, we wonder how we ever go; along with the candle light. It is the same with starches; you have used the lump and common cold witer starches and made no complaint became you have never had the genuine Keith’s Enamel Finishing, Labor Saving, Cold Water Starch, but after you once get accustomed to using it you will wonder hew you ever got along with the other starches.
