When it became evident that no e#orts could save the power station the department turned its attention to the adjoining property, but the flames leaped across Fourteenth street on the west to a big livery stable and then across Thirteen-and-a-half street on the east, and attacked a row of three-story brick houses. So fearful was the heat that the firemen could not get within reach of the burning buildings. They were driven back foot by foot until the streams from the hose pipes could not reach the fire. The entire department was on the scene, but so fierce were the flames that its efforts w r ere futile. The power house was built four years ago. It was six stories in height and besides containing the power plant of the Pennsylvania-avenue lines of the Capital Traction Company, was occupied by dozens of offices. The walls began to fall by 12 o’clock and with the decrtasiiig heat men were enabled to get to work on adjoining property. Several houses, however, were gutnd. Two hours after the first alarm was given the huge building was reduced to a few crumbling walls. The loss on adjoining buildings will not be large, as those burned are old and small. At one time the offices of the Southern Railway were threatened but prompt work by the firemen checked the flames. Asa result of the fire the navy yard and Georgtown division of the Traction Company will be tied up until power can be installed at some other point. The fire started in the printing office of Harvey & Hettinger. It had soon gained such headwuiy that it w r as evident nothing could be saved, and the alarm was sounded to the large force of men at work in the building. Many of them were compelled to jump from the windows, so rapidly did the flames progress. Within half an hour after the fire started the entire building was enveloped, and the flames seemed to soar over a hundred feet in the air. The falling of the heavy six-story walls shook the buildings for squares around. Joyce’s large carriage factory, situated directly across from the Traction Company’s building. on Fourteenth street, is one of the structures partially destroyed. Up to this time there has been no report of lives lost, but the firemen suffered severely from the intense heat. The Southern RailwaV Claims Company occupied an entire floor, and the National Printing Company also had ample offices in the building. The secretary of the Capital Traction Company estimates that the insurance on the building and contents owned by the company is $200,000, distributed among a number of local and outside companies. The property of the traction company, including stock and machinery, approximated in value $400,000. losses of cone rns occupying rooms in the building wall swell the total loss to about SOOO,OOO. Other losses on surrounding establishments are the Alexandria & Mount Vernon Railway Company's building. SIO,OOO, probably fully insured; tw r o-story blacksmith shop, $7,000; J. F. Manning’s marble yard, stock damaged. The Joyce carriage factory was not destroyed as at first reported, but was badly scorched. Following Is a list 6f the concerns having offices in the burned traction company’s building: Harven & Gett neer; the National Fireside, newspaper; the National Intelligencer, newspaper; the Sunday Herald; J. C. Rromwell & Sons, silver and nickel platers: T. C. Schofield, electrician; Thaddeus Cahill, lawyer: the Dunham Billiard Table Company: the Globe chuck tool holders; tho Lanston Monotype Company; tha Washington Venetian Blind Company; the Franzee laundry; Charles N. and Frank Hahn, lithographers: the National Publishing Company; the Southern Railway claims and purchasing agency; George E.

It Is impossible to ascertain the amount of insurance carried by these firms.

Bier Blaze- at Ironton. IRONTON, 0., Sc-pt. 29.—This city was threatened with destruction to-night. At 7 p. m. the sawmill of Newman & Spencer was discovered on fire. Before the fire department had reached the scene the flames had extended to the lumber yards. The long drought had made everything so combustible that the flames swept everything. The fire soon also wiped out the mills and lumber yards of the Penn Lumber Company. The fire soon threatened the water works, and word was sent to Catlettsburg, Ashland and Portsmouth for relief. At 10 o'clock to-night the supply houses and coal bins adjoining the city water building were demolished by a Norfolk & Western locomotive crew, using a block and tackle, and the pumping station was saved. The opportune arrival of the Ashland (Ky.) department, with several thousand feet of hose, was a godsend to the city, and at 10:30 o’clock the ten acres of blazing ruins are surrounded by lines of hose, and the Catlettsburg (Ky.) fire engine has just arrived by a special boat. This practically places the fire under control, although it will hardly subside before morning. The large plant of Newman & Spanner, valued at $50,000, is insured for $20,0u0, but it carried no insurance on eight million feet of poplar lumber, every plank of which went up in smoke. The Penn Lumber Company’s plant was valued at $35,000. It carried $17,500 insurance on property and $4,500 on six million feet of lumber, which was totally destroyed. In addition to these plants, the residences of Henry Spanner, E. Cole, Mrs. C. Kurtz, Mrs. Hall, Henry Horn, H. Gaele, S. Mackay and Newman & Spanner’s large more residences were more or less damaged more residences wer more or less damaged by flames. With the exception of Newman & Spanner’s warehouse and S. Maekay’s property, all were insured. The loss is estimated at from $300,000 to $400,000, with hardly half that amount of insurance. An area of three squares in length and two squares back from the river was entirely destroyed. There were no casualties, but one man had an arm broken. Powder Mills Destroyed. SANTA CRUZ, Cal.. Sept. 29.—At 2 o’clock this morning a disastrous explosion, which wrecked several buildings, but fortunately was unattended by loss of life, occurred at the works of the California Powder Company, presumably from spontaneous combustion. Eight mills, including the coining, mixing, glazing and packing houses and their contents, consisting of valuable machinery and about 200 tons of powder were destroyed. The loss aggregates about $250,000. Three Children Darned. ALMA, Neb., Sept. 29.—The farmhouse of A. L. Gordon burned last night and three children perished. The children were left alone in the house by the father, who went to the barn. He returned in twenty minutes to find his home in flames. Gordon was dangerously burned in his efforts to save his children, and may die. Tame “Hash Sight” at Yale. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 29.—“ Rush Night,” which has heretofore been a feature of the eve of Yale’s reopening, was noticeable to-night, chiefly from the fact that there was no "rush.” The faculty bad quietly sent around word that a rush would not be permitted, and the mandate was obeyed. The sophomores and freshmen, 500 strong, paraded the town, however, with torches and brass bands, and each and every one of the paraders brought his voice with him, as was evident from the continuous cheering. The parade ended at HopKins School field, when the annual wr sting match between the sophs and freshmen took place. The majority of the events were won by 1901. Chinaman's Bmly Hidden In the Hold. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.—The ship America has arrived from Prince William sound with a cargo of salmon and stowed away in a dark corner was the dead body of one of her Chinese passengers. It hail been hidden by the other Chinese to prevent a burial at sea, which would have reni dered it impossible to ship the body back

Use of Arms Advocated by Some of the Radical Orators—Row Over the Money Question. CHICAGO, Sept. 29.—There waa a lively row at the national labor convention to-day and for a time during the proceedings it looked as if an exchange of blows could not be averted. Dr. H. S. Taylor, one of Mayor Harrison’s Cabinet officials, was the cause of the disturbance. Dr. Taylor was present as a delegate and he wanted the privilege of speaking in regard to the platform which had been submitted by the committee on resolutions. But the majority of the dele- 1 gates seemingly did not wish the doctor to speak. The delegates expressed approval, how'ever, when the doctor said: ”1 am highly gratified at the money plank in the platform.” The money plank in the platform calls for a legal-tender money to be issued direct by the government. A change came when the doctor announced that the time had not come for the attempt to establish the system of national paper money. The doctor quickly followed this announcement with a plea to have the 16-to-l idea put in the platform to the exclusion of the money plank already presented. The audience instantly turned against him and an uproar ensued, which did not cease till the speaker sat down. The convention ended this afternoon in a climax of incendiary speeches. E. M. Bannister, of St. Louis, chairman of the convention, resigned the gavel to introduce a resolution advising strikers in general to arm themselves for resistance when necessary. B. R. Creedon. of Idaho, was one of the most radical speakers. He said: ‘‘The time has come for radical measures. If we adopt this resolution it will make the St. Louis convention the largest gathering of workingmen in the history of the w’orld. Every advance of the human race has been gained with guns, and we must use them. This is the best thing that has been introduced into the convention. It is what my people expect.” M. J. McCarthy, of Chicago, opposed the resolution as a matter of policy on the ground that it was not well to warn the public of their intentions. He said: ‘‘General Miles has already asked that the army be increased to 225,000 men, and we don’t want to give these people any warning before we go at them, or that recommendation will be followed. It is poor policy to discuss this in an open convention, because we can never beat the capitalists if we allow them to prepare. We must catch them before they are ready.” E. M. Bannister, in sipeaking in defense of his resolution, said it was right arms should be met wdth arms. This convention, he declared, would never have been called had it not been for the Hazleton, murders, and some action must be taken. A motion to lay the matter on the table was carried after McCarthy’s speech about its being poor policy. The Western delegates secured a free-silver amendment to the platform. They said they were empowered to announce that if it were not passed not a cent more of money would "ome out of the West to assist the Eastern men in strikes and other troubles.

Strike of 5,000 Miners. PITTSBURG, Sept. 29.—Owing to a disagreement as to the differential between rates for mining thick and thin vein coal about 5,000 river miners refused to go to work to-day. A conference will be held tomorrow in Monongahela City, at which efforts will be made to reach an understanding on the differential and other questions in dispute. MAY DIE AT ANY TIME NO MATERIAL CHANGE IN THE CONDITION OF GEN. NEAL DOW. The Aged Prohibitionist Still Alive at Midnight, lint His Death Expected Soon—llls Temperance Work. PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 30.—General Neal Dow was still alive at midnight. The end Is liable to come at any moment, yet he may survive for hours. General Dow came from a long-lived Quaker family. His father lived to be ninety-five years old and his mother was a centenarian. Up to the time of his last illness he was in the habit of rising at 5 o'clock every morning and taking a long walk. He would often drive twenty miles of an afternoon, and was remarkably active for a man of his age. General Dow achieved national fame as the father of the Maine prohibition law. Since IS4O he was the leader of the Prohibitionists in Maine, and was oftentimes their champion in other Commonwealths. He was perhaps the most influential temperance advocate In the United States. Twice he was called upon to go to England in the interests of the temperance cause, and he spoke in all of the large cities of Great Britain. He was mayor of Portland several times and served two terms in the State Legislature. His bravery in the civil war won him the rank of brigadier general. Neal Dow was born in Portland March 20, 1804. His father was a well-to-do banner. After being educated in the academy the son engaged in business with his father. Young Dow had always been taught to abhor liquor. On every occasion he used his influence against the traffic, but it is said that only by accident he was lead to take the field in an open fight for prohibition. A woman whom he knew asked that he use his influence to keep her husband from drinking, as he was about to lose his position on that account. He was in the habit of getting his liquor from a certain place, and she thought if the saloon keeper could be pursuaefid not to sell to him he would reform. Dow made the request foi her, but he was rebuffed by the saloon keeper. This treatment led him to begin a war on the traffic, which resulted in driving every liquor dealer from the State. In 1841 he gave up his business and started on a campaigning tour through the State. He traveled in a carriage in summer and a sleigh In winter, visiting every section of the State, delivering speeches and leaving a wide trail of temperance tracts behind. When he had saturated the State with prohibition sentiment he prepared a bill for the Legislature which prohibited the manufacture and sale of liquor in Maine. It ! was passed in 1851, and every saloon was driven out of the State Mr Dow was serving his sec md term as mayor of Portland when the law was passed When the war brok> out Mr Dow raised a regiment and went into the field as colonel of the Thirteenth Maine Volunteers. He rose to the rank of brigadier general. During a whole winter he was confined in Libby Prison, and in ISM was exchang-d for General Fitzhugh Lee He was twice wounded in battle. In IS*W he spent some time in England, working for the abolition of the liquor traffic. Os late years h was much at home, attending to his business affairs, reading much and writing some. General Dow of pb ,eing personality and had a bright, kindly face, iic Was

When Franklin flew his kite he was ridi-/ culed, and many persons to-day would laugh to see a man flying kites to foretell the weather. Yet William A. Eddy, of Bayonne, says that by kites he can foretell changes in temperature. Mr. Eddy sends up two kites of his own make to an altitude of fifteen or eighteen hundred feet. At night a lantern fixed to the ground line at the lower kite makes it possible to determine the altitude exactly. To the upper kite is fastened a registering thermometer. When this thermometer shows a difference in temperature of ten or more degrees from one on the ground Mr. Eddy says ha can foretell exactly the weather conditions for the succeeding forty-eight hours. If less than ten degrees difference is shown his predictions are approximate. "I have been experimenting with kites since 1891,” said Mr. Eddy, “and my methods has been adopted at the Blue Hill Observatory, near Boston. There a kite was recently sent up to an altitude of 10,000 feet.

Where Man Is Wanting. Atchison Globe. • The man never lived who could take out ail the dishes his wife has in the refrigerator and iind room to put half of them back in again.

Thousands y w W&'Mv&uiSEl. decline to protect lives because it would require money. This seems almost incredible but it is and realize that the most relentless enemy of mankind, consumption, is slowly but swiftly creeping upon them. But in the mad race for money they refuse to stop and drive off the dread disease. It would require a sacrifice of both time and money and so they negect it, until it is too late. There is no excuse for this. A sure and quick remedy is at hand. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery cures <SB per cent, of all cases of consumption. It remedies all disorders of the digestion. It invigorates the liver. It makes new rich blood and builds up firm healthy flesh. It enters the blood and drives out all impurities, and acts directly upon the lungs driving out all disease germs. It builds sound vital tissue in the lungs. Thousands have testified to their cure by this wonderful remedy after they were given up by the doctors and all hope was gone. Druggists sell it. “I have taken Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and can and do recommend it every place I go,” writes Mrs. J D. Graves, of Salamanca, Cattaraugus Cos., N. Y. (Academy Street). “ I am a traveling saleslady and have been for eighteen years. When I find people who are afflicted I tell them what Dr. Pierce’s medicines have done for me. Twelve years ago I was given up to die. I had what all ray physicians called consumption. I had hemorrhage of the lungs, night-sweats, and in fact I fully realized my condition. I begged of them to let me try the ‘Golden Medical Discovery,’ and the result is, I still live and do lots of hard work.” rv • It is better to do ■ ft* MIAtV’A C mending while the UI . r ICI VC 3 damaß * 8 is slight, than wait until the whole structure is ready to fall.
