. i i e ii
broke out m me seeu uuusb w iub
Charlotte plant of the Virginia Caro
lina Chemical Company. x
The seed house, the refinery and the
labratory, are completely destroyed.
In the seed house was stored about
5,000 tons of seed and the loss on these
alone will amount to $100,000; for seed
are now quoted at $20 per ton.
At 1:30 o'clock a workman-in the
seed house noticed a small blaze that
quickly spread in every direction. He
sounded the alarm and the fire fight
ing aparatus of the company was
quickly put in service. The blaze even
then was beyond the control or the
firemen.
A call was turned in fronubox 28,
which is located at the corner of Oak
street and the Boulevard.- The fire
companies responded promptly and de
spite the long run, both the hook and
ladder and the hose wagon were quick
ly on the scene and rendered splendid
service. ,
In a large tank located on the com
pany's property, were 700,000 gallons
of water. This large amount was
quickly thrown on the burning build
ings, but to no purpose. The flames
gradually worked their way through
the large seed house and in an incred
ible space of time, the refinery which
is nearest to the seed house, was in a
light blaze.
The firemen at this juncture direct
ed all of their efforts in attempting to
save the refinery. Chief Orr distin
guished himself by climbing to the roof
of the building and carrying with him
a line of hose which added another
stream to the now fiery furnace. The
efforts of this brave fireman were, of
naught because the flames were then
far beyond control.
The labratory which is near both
the refinery and seed house, was next
to catch. By almost superhuman effort
quite a number of the utensils stored
therein, were saved. It was out of the
question to save the building for in a
few minutes the entire structure was a
mass of seething flames.
At one time it looked as if the splen
did efforts of the fireman, so well- di
rected, would save the refinery'. The
fact that it contained such combus
tibles, and too because it was a
wooden structure, soon dissipated this
hope. - ; -
At 3 o'clock word came from the
scene of the fire that the water sup
ply had given out and it was out of the
question to make any attempt to save
any of the buildings on fire. This
means that the three structures men
tionedthe seed house, the refinery,
and the labratory, will be totally con
sumed. A gentleman connected with the
plant informs The News that it.will be
almost impossible to correctly esti
mate the los sat this time. It is known,
however, that the damage done will
be in the neighborhood of $125,000, and
this does not include the buildings.
This amount only applies to the cotton

' Law Brought Out.

By Associated Press.
Savannah, Jan. 10
-Upon the con-
venine of the Federal Court, A. A
Lawrence, of the counsel for Green and
Gaynor, resumed argument in support
of the nlea in abatement offered
by the defense yesterday to two indict
ments returned in 1899 and 1902, re
spectively. Mr. Lawrence said defendants had
been extradited from Canada upon
charges of conspiracy which he said
was not an extradicable offense.
Judge Speer asked the counsel if con
spiracy had been entered-into and the
crime committed then could not those
guilty be extradited, if for instance 40
or 50 persons had conspired with
Czolgosz to murder McKinley, would
not they have been extraditable. Mr.
Lawrence answered they would not
have been extraditable for conspiracy
but for an overt act of murder which
had been committeed.
Mr. Lawrence argued that the last
two indictments for embezzlement and
receiving embezzled funds, returned
last' November,-had been brought be
muse the government recognized it
was extremely doubtful if the defend
ants could be tried upon the old ones
because they did not set forth charges
under which they could be extradited.
Tim counsel for the defense, Mr.
Erwin said, was going over the ground
that the defendants ot. tne janaaian
counsel had gone over in fighting the
extradition, and that the idea now was
to escape trial because they had been
as thev alleged extradited wrongfully
upon charges under which they really
should not have Deen exiraai lju.
Were they extradited tor conspua-

plied that they naa oeen exuamicu w

this agent having been Captain Carter.

Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 10. Six
known dead and possibly more impris

fire in the West Hotel. The blaze broke
out in 715 in the upper stories building
and the electric bells immediately
sounded the alarm in all the rooms.
Many guests who were already up, es
caped down the stairways but these
exits were soon cut off by the fire and
the halls filled with smoke.
Captain John Berwin, of the fire de
partment, was carrying a woman down
the scaling ladder when the terrified
woman tried to jump to the window
ledge. Captain Berwin thereupon lost
his balance, falling seven stories to his
death. The woman was caught by
another fireman.
An unknown man jumped for the
roof of the1 adjoining building from the
topmost floor but missed and was
killed, while a large middle aged 'wo
man jumped from the fourth floor and
met instant death. One of the most
thrilling rescues was that of F .A.
Chamberlain, of the Security Bank and
the membe'rs of his family.
For many anxious minutes they re
mained i at ;the window in the topmost
story a Fifth street and Hennepin
avenue "corner. Mr. Chamberlain gath
ered the bedding and sheets and made
a rope of them and at . the same time
extension"' ladders were being placed

short. ;' '
Pomnier ladders were rushed to the
scene,.and a fireman with. rope about
htm. firmlv nlaced and scaled the lad
der to the cheers of thousands of ex
cited spectators. Arriving at the win
dow he took one after other, lowered
them safelv to the extension ladder
two stories beneath., by means of
rope, where they were brought to
safety. It was one of the most thrilling
scenes at a fire ever witnessed here.
Nine Are Dead.

in the West Hotel fire numbered nine.
Mrs. Emaline Barlow, to save whom
Captain Berwin lost his life, will die
