ly burned and a property loss of
about $400,000 was caused by the lire
In the heart of. the business section of
this town.
Four buslnoss blocks, two dwellings
and two other structures were destroy
ed In n section bounded by Franklin.
Main, Ilousotonlo and Church streets.
Tho tire Is believed to hnve started In
the Clifford building from spontaneous
combustion,
Tho dead are: Kdwnrd O. Ventrep,
electrician; Mrs. lOdward C. Ventres,
Miss Leslie Ventres, Miss Alice
French, bookkeeper; Miss Isabel Cook,
bookkeeper, and Miss Mary Sparks,
schoolteacher.
The Injured were Mrs. Catherine

and Arthur Hoot.
Some of the principal losses were:
Mahanna building, owned by Wil
liam Mahanna, $25,000; I P. Dttra
bardl & Co. of New York, oriental
shop. $8,000; B. H. Rogers & Co., elec

000. The other buildings burned Included
the residences of Joseph Itegnler, Mrs.
Rose Colbert, Mrs. Theodore Cowhlg
and B. II. Rogers.
A fortunate shift of wind from the
northwest to the southwest saved the
Public library and the fashionable
Curtis hotel. In tho hotel there were
several Easter parties from New York.
The loss of life occurred In the Clif
ford building, where the blaze started,
and resulted primarily from a series
of explosions among the oils, dynamite
and turpentine stored, in the building
of the James Clifford & Sons com
pany, hardware dealers.
Mrs. Root and her sons had barely
crossed the street before there was a
terrific explosion in the building be
hind them. This explosion was heard
In the surrounding territory for a dis
tance of six miles, shattered windows
within a wide radius and caused the
fire alarm to ring. In un Instant the
Clifford block was wrapped in flames.
Horace Perrlll and his wife, other
occupants, aroused by tho shouts of
tho Roots, had got halfway down the
front stairs when they saw the Humes
leaping up to bar their exit.
Three women were below them try
ing to get out through tho front door,
but Perrlll saw that tho attempt was
by that time useless. He then rushed
his wife through n long corridor to
the back stairs, where he got out in
safety. All the other occupants of
the Clifford block lost their lives.
The death of Miss Alice French was
one of the pitiful tragedies. While the
lire in the Clifford block was at its
height a woman was seen to climb out
of a flame tilled room on to a veranda
on the second story with her night
clothing and hair ablaze.
Staggering to the railing, the wo
man leaped to the sidewalk beneath,
landing in n heap within Ave or' six
feet of the blazing walls.
Some of the horrified onlookers at
tempted to rush in to drag her out.
but the Intense heat drove them back
and not until the flames had practical
ly died out several hours later was the
body recovered.

ral, with ex-Presldcnt Roosevelt on
hoard, made n brief stop nt Suez, then

tan Somallland.
During the trip through the canal
the Admiral slowed up to permit a
party to land at Ismalla, which is
about halfway distant between the
Red and Mediterranean seas. The land
ing party consisted of Kermit Roose
velt, Major Mearns, Edmund Heller,
zoologist, nnd J. Alden Lorlng. They
made a collection of bird specimens
and proceeded to Suez by train.
Mr. Roosevelt took occasion to deny
vehemently an alleged interview with
him which appeared In the Paris Jour
nal, saying, "I have not seen any rep
resentative of that paper and have
made no statement to the press except
that given out at Messina."
During the voyage through the cnnal
the Admiral passed the steamer City
of Paris, from Kurrachee, crowded
with British passengers. These mussed
on the steamer's decks and cheered

large Teddy bear occupied n prominent
place on the bridge deck. Mr. Roose

his hat ardently. He seemed to enjoy

Is Improbable the play will be repeat

hissed off the stage. Tho hissing,
stamping and hooting began with tho

Fort do France, Martinique, April 12.
Prior to his being taken aboard the
steamer Versailles for deportation to
France ex-Presldcnt Castro prepared a
written protest against the action of
the French government, which reads
as follows:
"I hereby protest against the action
of the French authorities of Marti
nique In having me put by force on
board an outgoing vessel
"First. Because I was 111 at the time
and becnuso the act Imperiled my life.
"Second. Because I have committed
no offense against the government of
France and the authorities of Marti
nique during the time thnt I was per
mitted to remain on that Island.
"Third. Becuuse the decree of expul
sion which orders my deportation out
of French territory compels me to take
passage aboard a vessel which will
tgaln land me on French territory.
"Moreover, these considerations aside,
the case constitutes a breach of inter
national law and a denial of the rights
of individuals.
"That such a thing should have come
to pass in the laud which saw the
birth of Josephine nnd from which
came the Inspiration and presage of
liberty and at the bands of a people
who shed their blood by torrents hard
ly a century ago to maintain unim
paired tho rights and prerogatives of
man Is Inconceivable."
The ex-presldent said Just before the
sailing of the Versailles that if he was
at liberty when he arrived nt St. Na
zalre he would Immediately proceed to
Spain In order to take passage for
Santa Cruz. Tenerife. General Castro
added that he was leaving his brother
Carmelo here for the purpose of re
ceiving mail which he expects to be
forwarded from Trinidad and Vene
zuela. The Versailles will stop nt Basse
Terre and Point a PItre, Guadeloupe.
Hardly hud the steamer left port when
a party of Castro's friends arrived on
the steamer Goelette from St. Lucia.
They were very much surprised that
the former president had been expelled
from the island nnd had a long consul
tation with Castro's brother.
The removal of the former president
of Venezuela from the hotel to the
steamer was not without Its pitiful as
pect. Immediately on the announce
ment of tho medical commission who
made a lengthy physical examination
ot Castro thnt he was quite capable of
making the voyage the commissary of
police, with an escort of gendarmes,
invaded tho hotel and proceeded to his
chamber.
They found the ex-president lying in
bed, and, although he still protested
that ho could not move, they carried
him downstairs, the patient nil the
while moaning dismally, on a mattress
and placed him In a stretcher.
Officers from the United States cruis
er North Carolina In civilian dress
helped to make him as comfortable ns
possible, and then the stretcher was
picked up by four negroes and taken
to the steamer dock. Gendarmes
guarded It on either side, and a crowd
of people numbering fully 2,000 fol
lowed the procession through the
streets.
The entrance to the French line piers
was guarded by police, and no one was
permitted to enter except those who
were directly connected with the trans
ference of the ex-presldent. Some dif
ficulty was experienced In hoisting tho
litter aboard, and for a moment Castro
was in peril of falling out.
The stretcher was set down In ono
of the cabins, and Castro at once de
clared that tho room was too small and
demanded that he be transferred to an
other cabin. He was promised that a
change would be made during the
course of the voyage. In saying fare-
well to his brother he waved his hand
nnd exclaimed, "Goodby for the mo
ment."

Inp; In the courts for eight years
Thomas A. Edison and the phono
graph Interests to which he Is allied
'lave reached n settlement with tho
Vew York Phonograph company. As
result some TOO lawsuits are to be
discontinued.
It Is said the Edison Interests
agreed to pay to the New York Phono
graph company $2,000,000 to satisfy
claims for Invasion of tho New York
company's territorial rights In the sale
of phonographs and phonographic sui-piles.
Tho principal suit brought by the
New York Phonograph company was
to recover $450,000. Thomas A. Edi
son was made defendant.
It was begun In 1001, when the New
York company sought to compel Ed
son to pny damages for alleged breach
of contract In Invading territorial
rights of the plaintiff secured by con
tract. These rights, It was set forth,
Included not only the contract to sell
phonographs, but phonogrnpldc sup
plies nlso. The main suit was carried
