Minneapolis, Doc. 25—A
fire in fho store building, for-
merly known as tho Academy
of Music, but lately occupied
as a store and office building,
was gutted by fire this after-
noon. The gross loss will
reach $200,000, with a total
insurance of $150,000. The
fire originated on the fifth
floor in the rooms of the
Minneapolis law library. The
department was a little slow
in responding, and the intense
cold prevented first-class work.
Every floor above the first is
a mass of charred wood and
libraries and papers in the
numerous offices are either
burned or ruined by water.
The room has always been
considered a fire-trap and
when used as a place of
amusement was pronounced
one of the most dangerous
buildings in the country. Tho
principal losses arc as follows:
Herrick, Lowry & Herrick;
loss on building, $125,000;
insurance, $69,000.
E. H. Stall, clothing; los9,
$50,000; insurance, $10,000.
This firm had a stock of $130,-
000 worth of goods, but suc-
ceeded in removing most of
them.
The Minneapolis Bar asso
ciation law library's loss is
$18,C00; insurance, $15,000.
The remaining building was
occupied by offices by about
fifty lawyers, abstract men,
surveyors, physicians, etc
The losses on books, papers,
instruments, etc., will range
from $500 to $1500. Well
insured.
Pittsburg, Dec. 25 — A
Mansfield (Pa.) special says:
Boll's hollow, in the suburbs
of this borough, was early this
morning, the scene of the
burning of two houses, in
which one-man perished aud
a family narrowly escaped a
like fate. The structure de-
stroyed was a double frame
house. One portion was oc-
cupied by John Holmes and
wife and five'children and tho
other by Thomas Bell, who
lived plone. At 3 o'clock this
morning Holmes entered the
house and accidentally upset
a lamp, setting fire to the
building, which burned so
quickly that he hud barely
time to rescue lii,s family. All
efforts to save Bell were futile.

mains were found in the ruins
f
this afternoon and the coroner
