SITE OF THE WORLDS FAIR
The House Committee Has Another
Lively Discussion.


Lively Discussion.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The House COM
mittee on the worlds fair had lively meet
ing this afternoon. The first business in
order was the hearing Of the report of the
subcommittee which was appointed to con-
slider Mr. Springer's proposition looking to
the selection of q site for the fair by ballot
in the House to-day. The subcommittee
reported that it had reached no conclusion.
Mr.. Springer moved to discharge the sub
committee from further consideration of
the subject and report to the House reso-
luton providing for balloting next Monday.
This was promptly rejected by the commit
tee, MeSsrs. Springer and Hit alone voting
for it Messrs. Hatch and Bowden were
absent.
LONG DISCUSSION.
A long discussion followed, in the course
of which the Chicago men declared that
they would not support any plan that
would rule out Washington from competing
by dealing with the financial questio /
before fixing the site for the fair. Several
propositions were made, but nothing could
be agreed upon by the committee. Every
thing was referred to the subcommittee,
which was increased by the addition of Mr..
Frank of Missouri and Mr.. Wilson Of West
Virginia, representing the interests re-
spectively of st. Louis and Washington.
The committee instructed the subcommit-
tee to report at 1890 o'clock Saturday, and
adjourned until that time.

Special Correspondence ot Gazette and journal
DELAWARE Cry, Nov 1S.-About 4
o'clock this morning the store Of j. A.
Warren was discovered to be on fire by
w. G. Hickey, who had been summoned
to his coal wharf by a steamboat cap
tain. About the same time Mr.. Hickey
gave the alarm, Mr.. Warren had been
aroused by his youngest child, who was
sitting from smoke that was penetrate
ing the bed room. Mr.. Warren imme-s
diatcly descended the stairway and
found the store room below to be denselY
packed with smoke which together with
the heat was almost unbearable. His
family, with much difficulty, was re-
moved to the City Hotel, few doors
away, the citizens in the meantime hav-
ing responded to the call and brought
out the fire engine An entrance was
forced into the rear of the store room
through the sickening heat and smoke,
passage was made and the flames
located, which were subdued after an
appliance Of an unlimited amount of
water. The building is two and a-half
story brick with tin roof, store and
dwelling combined. The fire is sup
posed to have originated from the stove
which stands in the rear near counter,
summed The damage, while not
heavy, will amount to considerable, too
as everything in the room was too hot
to be handled for sometime after the
fire had been quenched. The putting
out of the fire and saving of the store
and dwelling was miraculous, indeed.

the RELIANCE ENGINE UPSET
While Enroute to Answer n Fire Call "a
the p, w. s. Is. X. II. Station.

The Reliance steam fire engine was over
turned at the southwest corner of Fourth
and Walnut streets when answering the
fire alarm from the p, W. 4 b. railroad
station about 1890 o'clock Monday after
noon.
The way the accident happened is as fol-
lows. Driver Patrick Dugan with two
other Reliance men We're on the engine.
They were coming along up Fourth street
at smart pace and had slowed up to n
certain degree in order to make the turn at
the southwest, that is the lower corner.
He turned the horses neatly and had the
fore wheels Of the engine turned also,
when in making the angle the hind wheels
commenced sliding on the wet, muddy,
horse car track, Even then the
turn would have been safely made
had not the fore wheels struck and
slipped on large gutter plate which nm
fortunately was right in the road This
with the natural impetus Of the engine
and the swing caused by the turn COM
hined to sway the engine over. Among
those who witnessed the occurrence nc
blame is attached to Driver Dugan They
ascribe the accident to the fact of this
greasy, Shiny condition of the hors cal

Kent,s literary clab Is CLOSED.

CnEsTERTowN, Nov. 1S.-The Chester
Musical, Social and Literary Club Of
Chestertown, is closed to-day in accord
ance with the decision handed down by
the court of appeals in the Talbot
county cases on last Thursday. The
club was chartered in April, 1888, and
at nearly every term Of the circuit
court for Kent county since that time
an effort has been made to have its
charter revoked, but without success.
The case was called at the last term,
but in view Of the fact that the Talbot
county cases were pending before the
court of appeals, and the same points Of
law were involved in the Chester club
case as those in the Talbot cases, it was
mutually agreed between the counsel OF
the state and the club that a written
statment of facts should be submitted to
the court, and that the decision of the
higher court should determine the KEN
county case also; so, as soon as the de.
cision became known, arrangements
were made to close doors, and to-day is
the first full day that Chestertown has
been without club since April. 1888.
The charter will be formally forfeited
by action Of the lower court on Deem
Der LIST.

BLAcK-IIsTED CONTRACTORS.
Edge Moor Bridge Works Placed in the
Category nv a Clerical Error.


The Philadelphia Press Of Tuesday says
A case of possible contractors, who have
been black-listed, was revived yesterday,
when Director Wagner, in the survey
bureau, opened proposals for contracting
the western approach to the Walnut street
bridge over the Schuylkill river. Last
month clerical error in the bids presented
by the Edge Moor bridge works placed
that corporation in the position Of the low
est bidder at s5s,SS5 whereas the intent
was to bid the sum of S2209S9. The direc.
tor then announced to a representative of
the firm, in presence of councilmen on the
survey committee, that he could only con-
slider the bid presented in writing, and hold
the corporation to their proposal. If It
failed to comply with the contract offered,
he would feel compelled to blacklist the
firm and sue out the $500 bond filed with
the city solicitor. The councils survey
committee, later in the day, approved this
action and yesterday, the result of read
vertisement for the work brought these
proposals to the directors attention:
For the western approach, Edge Moor
Bridge Works bid S2900S9; lowering &
Garrigues, sos, 400; A. 4 r, Roberts & Co,
1908. l02 and the Pottstown Bridge Com
pany, Sl9O729.
The black-listed company can only he
restored tofavorable relations with the city
as far as future contracts are concerned
with the city, by an ordinance of Councils,
duly approved, relieving them from the
disability.

is that Bell, the chief prosecuting wit
