EXTENSIVE CoNGLAGRATIoN.
Ten Acres of Buildings in Cleveland,
Ohio. on Fire-The Fire Depart.
ments of Other Places Called
on for Aid.
CLEVELAND, Sept. I

CLEVELAND, Sept. I.
A great conflagration is raging here on the
flats. The entire fire department is in SER
vice and kilograms have been sent to Akron,
Youngstown. Painesville, Erie, Sandusky
and Toledo for assistance. The origin or the
fire is unknown. Incendarism is suspected
by some, but the most probable thing is that
some sparks from tug boats set fire early in
the evening to pile of shavings from which
the flames spread until Aids, Ferry & Co.'s
extensive lumber yard was on fire and con-
tinued to spread, defying all the efforts of
the firemen. The lumber yards of Potter
Birdsall Co. are consumed. Atten o'clock
the fire threatens to become more extensive.
About ten acres of frame buildings and lum-
Der yards were on fire at one time and thick
clouds of smoke studded with blazing Gin
ders were blown for miles by the changing
winds causing intense apprehension that fires
would be kindled in every direction and a
large part of the civ to waste.
AT 40 the fire was confined to an area of
200 feet square, and in the midst of this the
flames were savagely burning and sending
out myriads of sparks and light pine torches.
Slowly the fire gained on the fremen. The
sparks, being carried over their heads by the
the wind, which began rising, would set fire
to small spot in the centre of lumber pile,
and quickly the whole would be in flames.
Nothing could be done until the flames reached
the top, when the stream would be directed
that way through lanes OF alleys
At $50 Cutler street became impossible from
the heat, and only in some places could the
fremen stand The owners of the Variety
Iron Works have been on the roof of their
buildings for three long hours, throwing
water, in hopes that the fire might be kept
within its bounds and they escape without
loss. They succeeded in putting out the fire
in several places which caught from sparks,
until that part of their building became red
hot. At o'clock the lumber yard of c. G.
King caught and soon four million feet of
lumber in that yard were ablaze. The flames
crept up in southerly direction aud very
quickly reached the Variety Iron Works,
which has now caught on the roof.
At l o'clock the fire seems practically
under control. No serious accident is yet
reported.
The fire extended along the river from
from Scanton avenue to the Bee Line tracks
and back to the bonded warehouses. Every
thing within that district was consumed. At
l o'clock the fire has crossed the Bee Line
track and eating up the lumber yards of
Hubbell & West over to Caywood & Hutch
inson. The aggregage loss is estimated from
two to two and one-half millions. 1t is i'm
possible to give the individual figures tonight.

The Famous Old Defenders. Association
Members Passing Away and So-
ciety Dissolved.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 6.
The association of old defenders, whose
members took part in the battle of North
Point in the war of 1912, has disbanded, the
few survivors being disabled by the infirmi-
ties of age.
1t has been the custom of the association
for many years to attend church in a body on
the Sunday preceding the 10Th day of Sep
tember, each member wearing cockade and
Grape on the left arm. This ceremony will
not take place tomorrow. Annually, at nine
o'clock on the morning of the 18th of Sept,
they assembled at the east front of the City
Hall, and forming in line with drum and fife,
they marched to Calvert street and around
the battle monument with uncovered heads.
After this tribute to the memory of those who
fell in the battle at North Point, they pro-
ceeded to some pleasant retreat near the city
and partook of their annual dinner, for which
the city conncil made an annual appropria-
ton. The occasion was well enlivened by
toasts and an Grafton. On the coming 18th
there will be no meeting and no marching.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
THE ELECTION.
Closing Rallies of the Campaign-The
Democrats COncede Robes Election
by s0OO-NO Dissatisfaction With
Mr.. Blaine.
PORTLAND, Sept. Z.

PORTLAND, Sept. I.
Great interest centres in temorrows cleo
ton. Much work has been done by both
parties, but the excitement has not been
great. The republicans predict victory in
this county for the whole ticket and estimate
Reeds majority for Congress at 500. The
temperance people held their closing rally
for the constitutional amendment in City
Hall. Rev. H. C. Munson, Grand Chief
Templar of Maine, prasided. John B. Finch
of Nebraska, head of the order in the world.
who has been speaking in the State for the
amendment, made an able address. A
large audience was present No doubt the
prohibition amendment will have great
majority, both parties voting largely for it.
The campaign which closes tomorrow has
been earnest and enthusiastic on the part of
the republicans, and almost Indifferent on the
part of the democrats. The estimate sent out
by the republican State committee of 10. 900
majority for Robie is cautious one, and it
would not be a surprise to the republicans if
the majority should be ~ 900 or Is 900. Most
democrats are ready to concede 5000, which
was about his majority two years ago, when
the democratic vote was not fully brought out.
There is no republican dissatisfaction with
Gov. Robie, and if there were any the repub-
licans, who will decline to vote for Blaine in
November, they will not withhold their votes
from Robie. But as yet there is no symptom
of any organized revolt from Blaine any
where in the State.
All the republican congressman will be
reelected The slight opposition to Reed in
two or three towns of this first district will not
make any serious difference in his majority.
which is believed will be at least 500, pro-
badly larger.
The full legislature is to be elected, and
there is no question of large republican
majority in both branches.
