FIRE IN A BED ROOM.
A mysterious Fire at the ResId ence of
John b. Ritchie Yesterday Afternoon.

COnn H. tSlUcHle 1Sbtoruay AIJernOOns
About O'Clock yesterday afternoon
smoke was discovered issuing from the
third-story window OF the residence OF John
B. Richie, 105 East Sixth street, by his
daughter, Annie T. Richie, who imme-
dately gave the alarm. Mr.. Richie, who
fortunately was at home, made his way to
the third floor, where he found that the fire
was in room occupied by s. K. Bowen and
wife, the latter a daughter of Mr.. Ritchie,
and the fire was, with some diff
Guilty, extinguished with several buckets
of water. In the meantime the
Delaware Truck Company had been no.
titled and ran their apparatus up in frolt of
the house, but their services were not
needed. How the fire origir ated is a mys-
terry, as it was confined mainly to a walnut
bureau and its contents, but is supposed to
have been caused by spontaneous combus-
ton. The bureau, heavy walnut, marble
top affair, with French plate mirror, was
totally ruined, the marble slab and glass
plate being cracked by the heat. The con-
tents of the draw ers, mainly valuable cloth
ing, were damaged to such an extent that
they will be worthless, and silver butter
dish was melted down. The carpet was
burned Tor several yards around and the
foor, washboard and paper were badly
charred. The bureau stood at the foot of
the heavy walnut bedstead the foot of which
was not damaged but the headboard which
reached to within few inches of the ceiling
was badly scorched, showing plainly that
the flames from the burning bureau reached
the ceiling and Tapped toward the headboard.
The loss to the furniture will reach about
$3.50, and to the building about $50, on
which there is an insurance. Unfortunately
the furniture was not insured.

A RIDE TO DEATH.
A Fatal Coli sion Caused on the West
Shore Road by the Waving of Flags.

UTICA, N. Y, Oct. 1.-ShOrtly after noon
to-day the West Shore train known as the
Albany local, bound east and due at St.
townsville at 1901, and the Syracuse ex-
press, bound west and due here at 1919,
came in collision about two and a half
miles east of this place, on a heavy curve
near Diefendorf Hill. The locomotives came
together at full speed and are now standing
on their ends, completely wrecked and good
for nothing but old iron. The baggage car
of the Albany local train was thrown at
right angles off on the south side of the
track upon a side-hill. The eastern train
consisted OF five passenger coaches and one
baggage car, and the western of four
coaches and one baggage car. All but two
cars of the western bound train remained
on the track and were taken back to Fort
Plain, and all but two of the cars of the
east bound train were taken back to st.
townsville.
TWO MEN KILLED.
Michael Lyons, the engineer of the Albany
local train, and man named James Whit
lock, of Euphrata, Fulton county, who was
In the smoking-car were killed. The en-
gineer of the westbound train saw smoke
around the curve, set the ir-brakes and
jumped, with his fireman and j. B. Davis,
the division roadman. All of these escaped
without much injury. As the eastbound
engine turned around the curve the flrG man
jumped and escaped. Engineer Lyons,
however, stood at his post and was
crushed by the engine. He was alive
when first seen, but died soon after
and his body is buried under the wreck in
plain sight. A. Newman, of Nelliston, who
was sittiL e in the seat with Whitlock, had
both legs broken. Henry Cable, of Eu-
phrata; L. P. Cole, of Amsterdam, and
about dozen other persons are wounded.
The cause of the accident is said to have
been Engineer Lyons disregard of the sig
nal set out at St. townsville to stop the
train until the west bound train had arrived
there. 1t does not seem to have been OBJ
served. The conductor Of the east bound
train is understood to have supposed" that
that the west bound train would be held at
Fort Plain, the card place of meeting.
A SIGNAL MISTAKEN FOR A SALUTE.
Another statement OF the cause of the
accident has been sent to Utica. All along
the line of the road to-day from Syracuse
eastward flags and handkerchief have been
waved in greeting to the fist trains of the
new railroad. An order was telegraphed to
st. townsville to hold the bound train at
that point until the west-bound train had
arrived, and the operator ran out with
his flag on the track waving it. Engineer
Lyons saw the flag, it is said, and undoubtly
mistaking the signal for q jubilant salute on
| the operators part kept on with his train to
death. II the signal had been needed the
| accident could not have occurred.
The trains were due to meet at Fort Plain,
and on occasions like this the crews on both
trains are always anxious TO make the meet
ing point.

THE REGATTA CLOSED.


Teemer, the BOY Oarsman's Wonderful
Rowing Yesterday The Consolation
Race Declared on Owing to Ten Eyek'a
Illness.
PITTsBURa, Oct. 1.-The regatta closed
/ to-day with a magnificent race, John
Teemer, the boy oarsman, of McKeesport,
wlo first came into prominence last Spring
al Pullman, and who beat Hanlan at Point
of-Pines, lowering his record three seconds
and winning the first heat in the professional
race. The weather was all that could be de-
sired and the water smoother than on any
previous day.
The starters in the final professional heats
were Conley, Ross, Teemer, Hosmer and
Hamm. They we're called out at half-past
3 O'Clock. When the word was given, Con
ley, with his broad, sweeping stroke, pulled
70 the fore, closely followed by Ross, with
Teemer, Hosmer and Hamm following in
the order named. At the quarter Conley
was ahead, with Ross a close second, Teemer
third, Hosmer, fourth, and Hamm in the
rear, but before the three quarter point was
reached Hamm came up almost even with
Conley.
WONDERFUL sPURT.
From the three quarters down, it was an
elegant race. Teemer, by a wonderful
spurt, pulled up and passed Hosmer, who
uAo sSSuACo bCSNhu pidSC1 anu was SlOeCtJ
hugging, Conley, who still maintained the
lead. The one and half miles was made
in the good time of $50. On the home
stretch Hamm spurted, and at the three
quarters up took the lead, Teemer half
length behind him, Conley third, Ross
fourth.
Hosmer, on account of his boat springing
a leak, stopped rowing here and the race
was virtually between Bamm and Teemer
1t was a magnificent finish. Hamm held
his position half length ahead until about
one-eighth of a mile from the finish, when
he caught on a sandbar for moment. In
the meanwhile Teemer got in good work,
passed Hamm, and came in winner by four
lengths in 20 minutes and IL seconds,
amidst the tremendous yelling of the enthu-
siastic crowd.
Teemer claims he could have made much
better time had not Conley crowded him and
made him pull out of straight course. AS
1t was, he lowered his record three seconds,
and was carried off on the shoulders OF his
friends. This evening he was rendered a re-
ception by his townsmen.
Prior to the professional race, tie final
heat of the veterans race was rowed. The
starters were Faulkner, of Boston; Seibert,
Coulter and Taylor, Faulkner won easily in
% 49, The final heat in the professional
consolation was declared of, on account of
the illness of Ten Eyck. The purse was
divided.
