MINNEAPOLIS CELEBRATES.
Over > Thousand Floats I'm the Harvest
Parade Festival.

Over > Thousand Floats I'm the Harvest
Parade Festival.
MINNEAPoLIs, Minn., Sept. 24.-The
harvest festival had an ideal fall day
for its celebration. Work went on all
night and Nicollet avenue was beauti-
fully decorated The buildings were
buried in bunting and many of them are
covered with sheaves of wheat bound in
fantastic forms Arches of wheat
span many of the streets On Tenth
street is the finest display. Thousands
of -four barrels form the base of the
display. On top Of these stands sheaf
of wheat. while sacks of grain are
placed upon the supporting bar
rels. There are sixty of these
pillars along the street. From pillar to
pillar is suspended festoon of white
cloth, while similar festoons intersect
the streets and others are strung from
pillar to pillar across the street. Re-
ligious services were held in the Cath
olic churches At the opera house
was held service of praise,
with addresses by leading pastors and
others. The procession started at I
o'clock. Some of the floats were very
unique. The lumbermen had an inn
mense affair showing their trade IN all
its processes from the loggers at work
in the forest to the sawmill which cuts
the lumber in operation ON the float.
There were over 1000 floats in line,
most Of them very beautiful and costly.

CRUSHED IN THE RUINS.

Vine Firemen Sert usly Hurt In . Minn0-
apolis Fire-A Railrosd Elevator and
Many Other Structures Destroyed-Tho
Damages Estimst Mt Over o3cO.OOO.
MINSEAPoLIs. Mimi, Sept. 25.-At
$50 o'clock Thursday afternoon fire
broke out in the five-story frame build
ing Of Moore & Co. IS machine shop. To-
Gated on Tenth avenue South and Third
street, and in q few moments the build
ing was enveloped in flames. Half
an hour later terrific explosion took
place. and the flames shot high above
the top story of the building. Twenty
employees in the third story of the
building had very narrow escape by
barely getting to the stairway in time
to reach the ground. The flames were
communicated to Elevator G and the i'm
mense structure seemed to burn like
tinder. The entire fire department was
quickly on the scene, and her.
cnlean efforts were made to gain con-
troll. The fire gained with such fearful
rapidity, however. that it became nec-
essary to send to St Paul for help
Chief jackson responded with three en-
gines at 3:45 o'clock. A few minutes be-
fore their arrival the walls of Elevator G
fell with a tremendous crash. Twelve
firemen were on ladders against the
wall and all were precipitated into the
debris. Nine of them were injured,
and three or four may die. Their fall
caused a cry of horror to go up from
the crowd of 5000 people gathered in
the vicinity, as it was believed
that they would all be roasted to
death in the fire into which they
fell. Had they not been rescued in
a few minutes they would all have
perished. As the smoke arose and
cleared it was seen that on the very
ledge stood a fireman, apparently
dazed and not knowing what to
do. ''Slide down on the hose"
yelled the crowd. The man heard and
grabbing the big hose at his feet he
slid down through the shooting flames
and reached the ground safely.
The warehouses of the North
American Beef Company, owned
by Cudahy Brothers, caught fire
and were. destroyed in half an hour.
The old Ames homestead and other
dwellings in the vicinity were burned.
The big fire was pretty well under
control by 7 o'clock. Elevator C
was totally destroyed. 1t contained
$4,000 bushels of wheat. all of
which was burned The value of the
wheat was $50, 900 and the building and
machinery We're worth Sla5,000. Ths
machine shops of Moore & Co. Were
valued at Sl15. 900. on which there wa
less than $1,000 insurance. The otha
losses will amount to about $50, 900.

RAILWAY NOTES.

BRAZIL and Mexico have adopted the
American locomotive on their railways
and many other countries are following
their example.
TRAINS on the Brooklyn bridge make
faster time (by two miles an hour)
than did the first railway train that ran
between New York and Albany.
STOCK cars are now being built with
gates to cross platforms, after the
fashion of the vestibule trains. In this
way the stock are loaded at one chute
