The City Water Board met in egulsr

meet Contractor Chisholm and come to a
settlement on the reservoir contract. Mr..
Chisholm did not appear, and the Board,
after discussing TIE matter, formulated a
counter proposition to be submitted TO the
contractor.

ment?" was the question put to q member
of the Board, yesterday.
"Yes, think we are" was the reply.
"Just let us alone for a few days, and per-
haps We will come to On understanding. "
It was learned by q REGISTER reporter,
that at the last meeting between Mr.
Chisholm and the Board, the contractor
offered to take $4,000 Of the money held
back by the Board, and cry quits. The
Board only offered So. 600. Yesterday the
Board agreed to make an offer Of $500,
and to add thereto SUN of Sl15, being a

Chisholm will accept this and close the

Horrible Loss of Life in q Pbiladel-

PHILADELPHIA, December "A terri
bly, fatal fire occurred esrly this morning
ct the corner of Second and Huntingdon
streets. The bakery of Guttave Gross,
who lived with his family in the building,
and the third story of which was occupied
by a family named Bitner, was totally
destroyed by fire.
The building was veritable finder box
and although the fremen were promptly
on hand, the flames burned SO fercely
they could do but little toward checking
the fle. Toey, however, managed to
rescue four children of the Bitner family
and two of the Gross family uniDiured
Five others were burned or smothered tC
death and fvs seriously burned and re.
moved to the hospital.
Tie dead ere as follows:
GUsTAvE GROSS, JR aged II years.
Bruno GROSS, aged years.
GEORGE BITNER, aRed 8 years.
IDA BITNER. sRrd 6 years.
ANNIE BITNER, aged 80 years.
MARGARET GROSS, aged 3 years.
The il ured are:

MRS. JOSEPH BITNER.
JOIN ENuLsCAAUM, an emplOye.
HATTIE GROSS.

No other property was destroyed, and
the loss on the Gross building will not be
large. The cause of the fire is supposed to
have been a back draft from the furnace.
1t Is thought tnat couple Of the most ser
iously injured will die.
One of the victims Of the fire succumbsd
To her injuries in the hospital, making six
in all. She was the three-year. old Mar
gsret Gross. Mrs. GrOss lies in most
critical condition. She was very seriously
burned about the head, arms and legs,
and fell from thiId-story window. To
add to the danger of her burns she is also
in delicate condition, and slight hopes
are entertained Of her recovery.

FUN WITH SULLIVAN.
SOME JOKER HAS BEEN AMUSING HIM
SBLP
At the Expense Of the Orly John L.-No $4,000
Purse Ever Offered Him-The Stories
All Nyths-Bass Ball News.
General Sports.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 2.-Some
Joker here is having lots Of fun with John
L. Sullivan. Dispatches from the East re-
ceived by the Associated Press to the effect
that the big fellow had been offered $780,
600 By Pacheco, of the California Athletic
Club, or the Pacheco Athletic Club, are the
result of some 'FriscO Joe MulhattoD.
There is no member named Pscheco in the
athletic club and no athletic club in the
little town of PachecO. That alleged offer
from San Jose is untrue. 1t was never
authorized by the organization in the Gar
den City. John had better accept that
$40, 600 offer from 'FriscO's crack organi-
zation. There is beginning TO be feeling
among the members that the purse is too
high, and the directors will not offer a
large purse without letting the members
vote on the proposition.
