Milwaukee, Oct. 29.—There were several alarms Friday afternoon for fires, all of them the result of the heavy gale of wind that sprang up shortly before noon and increased until at 5 o’clock it reached a velocity of about 60 miles an hour. Between 5 and 6 o’clock there were five alarms, and the fire department, including the tire tug, was scattered in various parts of the city, when shortly before (5 o’clock au alarm was sent iu from the box at the corner of Detroit and East Water streets. It was for u fire in tlie Union Oil Company’s store at No. 275 East Water street, situated on the west side of the street, about midway between Detroit and Buffalo streets, the rear of the store being on the river. From this point the flames spread until the lower part of the Third , ward was burned over, causing a loss of nearly $7,000,000. The insurance is estimated at $2,500,000. At least 1,500 people are homeless. Among the more ' prominent firms burned out were the

following:

Union Oil Company, M. Bloch & Co., wholesale liquor dialrr^; the F. Dohman VVholesaM Drug Company; Milwaukee Mirror and Art Glass Company; J. 1*. Kissinger, wholesale liquor iteiilor; J. E.

Kenosha, Sheboygan and other points were early ajipealed to for help and responded promptly, firemen and apparatus at- i riving from the several points as rapidly as steam could bring them. They left the trains sbuth of the fire and did much to confine it to the north bank of the river below tlie turn at Walker’s Point bridge. At 12:45 Chief Foley announced that the fire was under control. Two dead firemen are in the morgue

on River street They are;

Henry Pruddenbruck, No. 3 station, residence No. 256 Reid stri ct struck by falling timber und smothered: Charles Stuhr, No. 4 hook and ladder, No. 522 Fourth avenue, struck by beam

and smothered to death.

There was one other body at the morgue at midnight—that* of a woman of perhaps 50 years, small in stature, j with dark hair. There are no marks on 1 her body to show how she met her death. She must have been suffocated

by the smoke.

At Peacock’s undertaking rooms at j midnight the only body was that of a Mrs. Callahan, a widow who lived on Jackson street, opposite the Northwestern freight depot. She evidently died of fright, for it was known she was a sufferer from heart disease. When she was first found in a helpless condition siie was taken to the Third ward schoolhouse, where she died. There are many persons at tlie Emergency hospital. Two of these are seriously injured and may die. The most seriously hurt are: Janies Bergenthal, No. 110 Twenty-ninth street, head und face Injured by explosion; Richard Gardner, Humboldt and Auer streets, face and head hurt by explosion; J. H. Rocseh, CD years old, No. 181 Gartlcld avenue, broken leg, injured about head and body, may die, buried beneath falling walls; William Witte, 30 years old, No. 379 Greentleld avenue, leg broken, injured by falling bricks, may die. The entire lower part of the Third ward, inhabited largely by poor Irish families, was devastated. About 500 cottages were destroyed. The fire originated from an explosion of something in the cellar. Fed by the inflammable stock it soon spread through the three upper floors. At 9 o’clock, by order of Mayor Somers, the militia alarm was sounded from the central fire station. Within an hour a number of the Lighthouse Squadron troopers, as well as many infantrymen, reported for duty. They were detailed along the burned district to assist the police in keeping back the hundreds of thousands of .people gathered about and to assist the homeless in finding shelter from tlie bleak winds. Tlie Milwaukee fire deportment consists of 252 men, eighteen engine companies, seven truck companies, seven chemical engine companies, the fire boat Cataract and the water tower. The fire losses last year amounted tc 9E35,000. FATAL FIRE AT CLEVELAND. Teachout'rt Sash ami Door Work* and a Window Warehouse liurned—One

Milwaukee, Oct. 81.—Four hundred ami sixty-livi! buildings destroyed. Three hundred and fifty-eight families—incltHling a total of 2,509 persons —made homeless. A total property loss of $5,805,000, with insurance amounting to about

$2.800.000.

Four persons killed und eight or ten

injured.

Such, in brief, is the result of the j fire which threatened for a time on ! Friday night to sweep Milwaukee off I the face of the earth. There are many sorrowful faces to be seen along the streets in tlie vicinity of 1 the fire district. Many families lost everything but the clothing they wore, still there is not as much gloom as might be expected. The general relief committee held a meeting and issued the following: ••It is i-Htimatcd that there will be needed the sum of *100,000 to ptoperly care for the people made homeless by Friday night's lira At the meeting of citizens held in tlie chamber of commerce Saturday morning the sum of *55.000 was subscribed: and, while we appreciate the kindness of those outside who have already made generous subscriptions, we desire to say that wo are cuiitident the remaining amount required will be subscribed by our eitlz.eits without it being necessary to appeal to the outside public. We confidently appeal to our citizens to raise the full amount needed.” There is promise that those who were rendered homeless will not be permitted to suffer. Already $03,968 has been raised, and till but about $10,000 came from this city. Many offers of assistance have been received and accepted, so that there is no doubt that a fund of $200,000 will be available within a few days. Many of the people made homeless by the fire and now iu actual want may soon bo placed in comfortable circumstances. Their homes are gone, but their land is still there, and it is valuable land. Wealthy corporations, business men and speculators will be ready to buy these lots. The greatest individual financial loss sustained by the great fire was that suffered by the Chicago & Northwest- , ern Railroad Company, which officials and local agents of the road now estimate will foot up from $800,000 to $1,000,000 and will likely go nearer the latter than the former euni. The burned property includes- ; both of the great freight houses, one for incoming and one for outgoing freight. They were nearly 100 feet wide, covering the length of about three blocks. That devoted to incoming freight was thoroughly; tilled with merchandise of all kinds and descriptions which had been unloaded during the day and was ready for delivery. That devoted to outgoing freight was but partially filled. As a rule an average of 125 cars are loaded there daily with outgoing freight. The usual number of ! cars had been loaded during the day, and many of them were standing ou ! the sw itches ready to be taken out j during tlie night As to the value of the freight in the houses and in cars ready to be taken out no accurate estimate can be made until the losses are adjusted between the company and the shippers. One car is i said to have contained $10,000 worth of holiday goods just shipped by a local i firm, and it is expected that many otlieni were filled with valuable goods. There were burned in all on the freight house tracks 193 loaded freight cars, perhaps three-fourths of them received J and ready to unload. Their contents can only he ascertained by a complet- i checking up of the way bills. Many oi j them are said to have been loaded wit*valuable dry goods of various hhids which merchants were providing for their holiday trade, and on such the loss will be heavy. There wen n good many cars loaded with grain of all kinds shipped to this market and a number of cars loaded witi potatoes. The freight cars empty are estimated to be worth an average of ! $500 each, but those values are small as compared lo tlie contents of the cars There were also forty to fifty of the Northwestern’s coal cars in the company’s coal yards, all loaded, whiel were completely destroyed. The aggregate of the insurance carried on the burned property, as compiled by the insurance men, exclusive of that curried by the Northwestern road, is $2,750,000, and is divided among about 103 companies, which, with one or two exceptions, tin insurance men say, could easily stand ten times the loss sustained here without crippling them in the least. There are one or two mutual companies which lose heavily and may be seriously affected. Unfortunately, one of these is most largely represented in the residence district burned, where, should it fail to pay in full, the losses will fall upon a class of people who can least afford to stand them. Following arc the insurance companies which sustain the heaviest losses: Hartford *75.000 Homo. lO.OOO J/incuHtnre (Enplandl GO.UOO Milwaukee Mechanics’ 75,000 Commonwi-alih (New York) 75.0 0 Grrmati-Atnerlcuu (New York) fti.COJ Ohio Farmers' nUiUO I^.ndi >i and Lancashire M.JOO Pboculx of Brooklyn 50.000 Commercial Union 501KO Continental 40.1X)) North British Nl.OJO Northwestern National Mhixw Concordia 40.030 The balance of the losses are shared among tlx* many companies in amounts ranging from $2,000 to $25,000.

“What is August Flower for V* As easily answered as asked. It is for Dyspepsia. It is a special remedy for the Stomach and Liver.— Nothing more than this. We believe August Flower cures Dyspepsia. We know it will. We have reasons for knowing it. To-day it has an honored place in every town and country store, possesses one of the largest manufacturing plants in the country, and sells everywhere. The reason is simple. It does one thing, aud does it right. It cures dyrnepsia® Did you ever su.e sickly baby with dimples ? or a healthy one without them? A thin baby is always delicate. Nobody worries about a plump one. If you can pet your baby plump, he is almost sure to be well. If you can get him well, he is almost sure to be

plump.

The way to do both—there is but one way—is by careful living. Sometimes this depends on Scott’s Emulsion of cod-liver oil. We will send you a book on it; free.
