Fire at Duke Otfuna's House destroys estate in Madrid
Reports from Madrid dated September 14 describe a disastrous fire at the Duke Otfuna's house near the Convent of Woriders. The blaze rapidly consumed the mansion, killing several workmen and forcing others to leap from windows. The Duchess, four months pregnant, fled with her women to the convent and later to the Dowager of Medina Cely's residence. Burned valuables and furniture were lost, and no precise casualty or wealth figures could be given. Fresh Italian dispatches note illness among the Grand Duke of Tuscany and the near-death of Madame Reyalie of Savoy, with physicians hopeful she will recover this winter.
