BIG FIRE AT CENTRALIA.
A Hub aud Spoke Factory Burned with
n Loss of $25. 900.

n Loss of $4,000.
CESTRALIA, Wis, Jan. lS.-This morn
ing at 8 o'clock, when the thermometer
showed a temperature of about 20e be-
low, the saw mill and hub and spoke
factory of I. Mackinnon & Co. burned
to the ground. About thirty men
are thrown out Of employment, and the
local market, for hardwood timber
especially, IS nearly destroyed. The
burned property formed one of the
chief industries of the place, and ii is
not certain that it will be rebuilt at this
point. The loss is estimated at upwards
Of S25,ooi, with an insurance of
$4,000. The cause OF the fire is mys-
terry, but the discovery of vagabond
IN the vicinity with hair, whiskers and
cap burned, helps to solve it.

However it may be effected; but unjust
prejudice often prevents people from trying

prove unayailing.

For years a confirmed sceptic as to the
merits of proprietary medicines, was at last

AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
Guy Hecker's Terms Acceptable TO Messrs.
Nimick and ScandretI.

Ouy heCkeFA IeFInA ACCeptADi6 10 MeBSFBs
Nimick and ScandretI.
The genial and good-ooking Sir Guy Hecker
arrived in the city yesterday, and had a long
and important conference with Messrs. Scan
drett and NImick relative to the appointment
of Hecker as manager
Sir Guy was asked to state his terms to play
in the team and manage it He made a propo-
sitiOn, which was highly acceptable to the
directors present. 1t was not stated what his
terms were, but it is understood that they are
considerably above So. OOO The fact that they
met with the favor of Messrs. Scandrett and
Nimick means that Mr.. Hecker is virtually ap-
pointed manager, because the other directors
are disposed to vote for him. After the confer
ference Mr.. Hecker said:
II am well satisfied with the talk we have
had, because / think can rest assured that
everything is all right. feel confident that
we can have an excellent team here. l have
gone carefully over the list Of players and
don't hesitate to say that we can get a club
that will be on top. am aware that two clubs
cannot live here, and that the one that plays
the better ball will be the one to stay Now, L
feel sure that the old League club will stand
better IN the League race than the new local
club will in the Brotherhood race. If this is
so there is no fear Of the local National League
club. We have some remarka bly, good young
men signed. Let me tell you that Daniels will
soon become one Of the best pitchers in the
country. think that with a rew weeks prac-
tce before the championship season upens we
will have hrst-class ball team"
Mr.. Hecker thinks the club will either 90 to
Hot Springs or Florida for a few weeks. The
directors will meet tomorrow and decide the
matter.

The glass costs several

BIG FIELDS OF FINE HORSES
Entered for the Principal Events Scheduled
for WnshIuRtOu Park.

Entered for the Principal Events Scheduled
for Washington Park.
CHICAGO, February 4-secretary Brewster
has completed a compilation of the entries to
the Washington Park stakes for the coming
season. The stakes that closed January 10 re-
ceived the following entries: Wheeler handi-
cap, 129; Lakewood handicap. IS; Great West
ern handicap, Sc; Boulevard stakes, 81; Dear
born handicap, l66; Lake View handicap, l22
and Quickstep stakes, 142 The two last named
are Tor 2-year-olds, while the Maiden stakes
and Dearborn handicap are for Syear-olds.
The number of entries for these stakes is
fraction over IS. The club has eight stakes
closed previously. They are the American
Derby with l24 entries; Sheridan stakes, l0l;
Englewood stake, Sc; Drexel stakes. 4S: all for
S-year-olds Hyde Park stakes, lS5; Friendly
stake, 257; Lakeside stake, 83, and Kenwood
stakes, so; all for 2year-olds. This makes
grand total of 1913 entries for Is stakes, an
average of fraction over Is This remarka-
BILE exhibit is one that carries with il the GER
tainty of great racing campaign at Washing
ton Park next June and July. The total entry
of 257 for the Friendly stakes comprises 132
made to the Washington Park Jockey Club and
125 to the Coney Island Jockey Club. As the
conditions prescribe that horses entered at
either place are eligible to start at both on the
payment of only one entry fee, it follows that
the whole list of 257 are entered with both
jockey clubs alike
No handicap for 3year-olds and upward ever
closed before in this country with list OF
entries to compare in point of numbers. Its
129 entries show conclusively that Western
owners are ready to send their horses over
distance of ground when sufficient inducement
is offered. Every horse of good class in the
West is entered, with the king of colts, FL Rio
Rey, at the head. AS the event will probably
be worth S. 900 to the winner, it is no trouble to
predict that it will have grand field of start
ers. If the weather is fair and track fast July
next, the winner of the first Wheeler handi-
cap will be likely to have run close to Kings
quarter in order to land the prize. As the
adjustment of weight will not be made until
after the Washington Park meeting is in
progress, it will. in the main, be based on the
performance of the horse this year, and the
result will probably be field remarkable in
point of numbers The grand total for the
eight stakes is 784 No further nominations
are expected, and the tale of entries for the
year 1890 is now completed.

WASHINGTON, February 4.-shortly be-
fore o'clock to-day, President Harrison
ordered his carriage to be sent to Judge
Davis house, for the purpose of bringing
Secretary Tracy over to the White House,
as his guest. A gentleman who had just
left Secretary Tracy said that he wanted to
walk over, as he felt strong enough to do so.
but it was thought best for him to use the
carriage. The Secretary vas fully dressed,
in his ordinary clothes, and wore no extra
wraps, and he walked downstairs, across the
sidewalk, and into the carriage without
assistance. His step was firm and
steady, and showed no evidence of
its impress, however, on his features. His
head was bowed and his face inexpressibly sad.
His son, Mr.. Frank B. Tracy, and Lieutenant
Parker, U. 8. N, accompanied him to the
White House. but were not called upon to rem
der him any assistance. He stepped lightly out
of the carriage walked across the vestibule
alone, in the nam corridor and took the ele-
vator for the Presidents private apartments.
The President and Mrs. Harrison greeted him
there and did all they could to cheer him up
and make him feel at home.
Later in the afternoon, in accordance with
his request, the Secretary was taken into the
East Room and shown to the caskets contain
ing the remains of his wife and daughter. They
were covered with beautiful flowers, the trib
utes of loving friends, and branches of the
sage palm were laid across the top and along
the sides of each casket. Standing at the head,
between them both, was large palm tree, ar
ranged so that the leaves droopeQ
gracefully over the dead. Mrs. Tracy's casket
was marked by large floral anchor, and her
daughters by large wreath of white flowers.
Camelias. hyac:nths, roses, lilies of the valley
and Yiolets entwined in smilax were tastefully
arranged over both caskets.
The Secretary was very much affected by the
sight and sobbed as though his heart would
break. The casket containing Mrs. Tracy's
body was opened, and he was allowed to look
upon her face for the last time. The other
body was in no condition for inspection, and
the casket was not opened at ALL 1t was re-
markable terrible ordeal for the stricken man,
but he bore 1t well, though there was no con-
cealing the keenness and depth of his grief.
Funeral services will be held over the remains
of Mrs Tracy and Miss Tracy in the East
Room OF the White House, tomorrow morning
at IL o'clock. Rev. DR.. Douglass, rector of st.
Johns Church, will conduct the services. The
bodies will be temporarily deposited in the re-
ceiving vault at Rock Creek Cemetery, until
their final disposition is determined upon. The
pail bearers for Mrs. Tracy will be as follows:
Secretary Window, Secretary Proctor, Attor-
ney General Miller, Postmaster General Wana-
maker, Secretary Noble. Secretary Rusk,
Admiral Porter and Rear Admiral Rogers
