NARROW ESCAPE FOR HALIFAX.
Fire in the Citadel Within Forty
 Feet of the Powder NIaCaZine,

The Royal Artillery barracks in the Citadel, Halifax, N. S., was destroyed by fire. The fire originated from the chimney and quickly envcloped the entire building. The Citadel is on high hill in the centre of the city and the reflection lit up the surrounding country for many miles. The whole fire departments turned out to aid the troops, and, unable to save the barracks, turned their attention to preventing the fire reaching the magazine, only forty feet distant, where 300 tons of powder is stored. This they accomplished. Had the fire reached that enormous quantity of powder the entire city would have been blown to atoms, The treops lost all their

WAITING FOR sEARLE.
Both Teemer and Gnudaur Anxious to
Tackle Him in America.


MCKEEsPoRT, Pa, September 10-But two
days and John Teemer and Jake Gaudaur will
meet on the Monongahela river in the four
mile single scul race for 81. 900 side to decide
who is the best oarsman. To be governed by
the remarks of the oarsmen and their friends
it can be said that it will be the hardest single
scull contest that has occurred IN America in
late years. and everything seems to point that
way to-day. At the time the race is to be rowed
st. John and Hanlan and the oarsmen
will meet the Louisville man here, and will
gatta to be held at that place, and will make it
an open one. Hamm. Teemer, Gaudaur and
Hanlan will be among those who will en-
ter it.
The difference to-day between the oarsmen
who will row Friday is this: Teemer looks
happy, cheerful and full of life and goes
about as briskly as young boy. He rows
hard in his old boat, and takes as much care OF
it as he does of his fine medals. Whether or
not he rows trials that are satisfactory and
keep up his spirits is not known. Gaudaur
moves about slowly and Systematically. He
rows hard and seldom smiles. He is quiet
and looks stern and resolute, and when going
out in his boat his looks would imply, II l
don't win the race it will not be my
fault, and those are the words he uttered in
answer to the query, Who's going to win? He
talks but little, appears TO nave ms mlno on
the race and rows hard for condition. Hamm
carries stop-watch when they go out, which
is an evidence that he is rowing trials.
Both of the oarsmen are pleased to learn
that Searle will come to this country, as they
are anxious for 60 at him. and feel confident
that they can defeat him in this country. The
race could be rowed this fall say the oarsmen,
and while one is preparing for the race the
other could be preparing to give OConnor or
Hanlan a chance. All arrangements for Fri
days race are completed. Gaudaur's
colors will be deep red shirt and blue
trunks, while Teemer's will be red and
white striped shirt and black trunks,

The Great Fire at Antwerp Not Yet Entirely
Extinguished.
ANTWERP, September 10.-Estimates oi
the loss by the recent fire range from 25,-
100000 to $4,000, 900 francs. No public
building was injured. The damage to the
Bourse is insignificant The fire still
shoulders over large area which is sur
rounded by Gordon of troops. The fire.
men are working night and day pouring
floods of water upon the ruins. Ten persons
who ventured too near the ruins have met
with accidents, due to the occasional ex-
plosion OF cartridges. The vessels in the
docks owe their safety to the favorable di-
rection of the wind, which continues to
blow toward the open river. Some steamers
in the dry docks are badly damaged about
the decks.
M. Corvilain, the proprietor of the cart
ridge factory, is charged with homicide by
imprudence. His defense is that the fire
originated in the petroleum sheds, and
caused the explosion in the cartridge fac
tory. Large subscriptions to the relief
fund have been received. King Leopold
heads the list with 1900 francs. Relief
fetes and performances have been given in
Brussels, Paris and Berlin.

NEW YORK, September 10-A week ago Joe
Coburn, once the champion of champions, an
nounced that he was going to have benefit,
and promptly all his friends said that they
would take tickets. So Joe sold lots Of admis-
sion cards. The show was to have come off in
the New Y ork Circus last night, but somehow or
other Joe did not show up.
There was fine crowd within the tent They
had come there to see what kind of showing
Coburn, the old timer. would make against
Dominlck McCaffrey, who has stood off in eight
rounds the only John l.. in way that John L.
doesn't agree to, but one which "the Dom" is
quite satisfied with. This pair had been adver-
tised to spar four rounds, and the champion,
the man who intends to go to Congress. came
early under the tent to see what the advertised
boxers would do when they got the chance to
go at each other.
When John L. entered the tent everybody
yelled. and the champion took seat in the re-
served stand with becoming modesty and
waited for developments. Sullivan applauded
the lady riders and tumblers with both hands,
but when the Tingmaster came out with Nc.

got tired and went away.
The truth is that Coburn looked upon the
wine too much when 1t was of the amber hue
yesterday, and when n reporter saw him last
night he was in the vernacular-full.
McCaffrey was very sore that his name had
been used in connection with the bout in which
the other fellow was to be one of uncertain cal
iber. "rn meet any of 'em," said Dominica
"but do hate to be made fool of. There is
no better fellow than Coburn, personally,
but" The crowd under the tent was one of
the utmost good nature. The legitimate mills

they proWled.

FAV0RS THE PLAN.
Pittsburg Business Man Will Support the
New Brotherhood Scheme.


Whatever may be the utopian features and
apparent shortcomings of the brotherhood"
scheme proposed by Messrs. johnson and Ward,
it has found prominent supporter in Pitts
burg He is a gentleman well provided with
the where-with all to give the plan good test
in this city should he be asked to do SO. Not
only has he plenty of money at command but
he can secure Exposition Park for any club
that may be placed here. He is enthusiastic
about the matter, and has few good sup
porters. He, however, declines to have his
name publicly mentioned in the scheme until
efforts are made to have team organized
here. Yesterday afternoon he said to the
writer:
Il am firmly convinced that the scheme is a
good one, and 1 know that Mr. Johnson of
Cleveland, is determined man and has any
amount of money at his disposal. If the scheme
is put into practical shape Exposition Park can
he secured in this city for the team. really
don't see why the plan cannot be carried out
successfully. If all the good players in the
League, organize thoroughly and join the
proposed brotherhood they could reap their re-
spectiYe shares of the profits, and that would
undoubtedly be sufficient inducement for th am
to leave the League and commence business
for themselves. There is no law to prevent the
players from making an organization of their
own, and if they do so, depend upon it, they
will be the attraction of the baseball world.
Other leagues or associations will not be able
to cope with them"

CHICAGOS STREET CAR MAGNATE.
On his Return From Europe He Expresses
Faith in Chicago's Great Future.

Faith in Chicago's Great Future.
Mr.. Charles T. Yerkes, the cable car
king of Chicago, went homeward on the
limited last evening. Mr.. Yerkes is by
birth Pennsylvania, but for several years
has lived in Chicago, where he has won fame
and fortune. He has just returned from
six weeks trip in France and England.
His family fingered to visit friends in New
York.
Mr.. Yerkes said that while he was abroad
he talked with many Americans about the
location of the great fair in 1892. All
Americans whom he met, who lived else
where than in New York, considered Chi
cago the best location, while all New
Workers with whom he conversed thought it
a great :piece Of impudence on the part of
Chicago to offer pretense for the fair. Mr..
Yerkes is thorough believer in Chicago,
and thinks the fair will be located in that
great railroad center.
He is just now getting his Westside cable
roads into shape. A new tunnel is beiug
constructed under the Chicago river be-
tween Van Buren and Jackson streets,
through which one of the cables will be
operated.
