"Sawdust." inhabited mostly by laboring peo-
pie. This in little while was completely
destroyed. Al this point the wind shifted TO the
west and the business portion of Pine caught.
Cummings house was the first to burn, and
all the stores the east side of the street were
swept away. The fire crossed over Pine street
to Webster avenue and followed a direct course
to the south, leaving the Bett block behind.
The magnificent residence of Matthew Will
son, wealthy lumberman, was soon
in ashes. The courthouse was next,
and now only the walls remain. When Apple
street was reached every business house on Pine
street was in ruins, with the exception of a few
at the north end. At the courthouse square the
corner is widered to two blocks An immense
wind made it impossible to get the flames In
check, aud as the greater part OF the buildings
were wooden everything was favorable to the
fire.
The appeal for help TO outside cities were
promptly responded to, and the fremen fought
hcroically but almost uselessly until the more
sparsely-built region was reached, since when
they have been gaining on the fire, and have
prevented 1t from farther spreading. The terri
tory now devastated is IL blocks long and from
one to two blocks wide.
MEADyILLE, Pa, May 16--Four stores and sew

Narrow Escape of tho Market Street
PresbYterian Church.

A fire, which did considerable damage and
might have resulted in the loss OF building
but for the prompt action of William 7. Somer-
vile, broke out in the Market street Presbyterian
church about II O'Clock last night. Mr. Somer-
vile, who lives in the vicinity, was passing on
his way home, when he saw the janitor OF the
church rush out OF the building calling for help.
He Immediately ran in and found the floor and
benches blazing at lively rate. The floor was
covered with hemp mating, which was
saturated with coal oil from lamp lying in the
middle of the room. somerville tore up the
mating and after hard work succeeded In
smothering the flames with it. By this time a
party of neighbors, armed with buckets of water,
came to his assistance and completely extin-
guishcd the blaze.
The fire was caused by an accident to the jan
itor, who is a mere boy. There had been meet
ing in the church, and after 1t ended he was
engaged for some time in closing up In put
ting out one of the lamps he turned the lighted
wick clear down into the tank of oil, which at
once broke out into flame. Greatly alarmed,
the boy ran out for help, and in the meantime
the fire gained gooi Roadway until gotten under
control by Somerville.
The damage will probably reach $50. A large
part of the mating is destroyed, while several
benches and a portion of the floor are badly
charred.

THE GAME BULLETTNED.
An Immense Crowd Watches the Gam,
by Innings.

The results of yesterdays wonderful game at
Tacoma, which was bulletined by innings in
front of the PosT-INTELLrGENcER Office, drew
larger crowd than has often gathered to see the
game itself at the Madison street park During
the first part of the game the usual number
watched the blackboard. but when the extra
innings began to be chalked up the crowd started
to growing in numbers and enthusiasm. By the
twelfth inning fully 500 people had assembled
and blockaded not only the sidewalk but the
entire street, while the steps and landing of the
PosT-INTELLIGEScER office were packed to their
fullest capacity.
A description OF every play was received over
the wires and announced to the crowd, which
waited with feverish expectancy for something
new The good plays of Tacoma, as well as OF
Seattle, received recognition. and as goose-eyg
after goose-egg was marked up, the intensity Of
the cheering grew. At two different times
when, in the fifteenth and eighteenth innings
Seattle promptly caught up after Tacoma had
taken the lead by the seemingly winning rum
the scene would have done credit to the most
confirmed set of ''fans" that ever graced the
stands during closely contested game. Staid
business and professional men jostled against
newsboys and We'd with them in shouting
themselves hoarse, forgetting all about the din
ncrs that were waiting in vain for them. When
in the twenty-second Tacoma scored what
proved to be the winning run, il was generously
applauded. The announcement that Seattle
had failed To again tie the score brought an al
most utter silence for few seconds; then a
burst OF cheers followed in recognition of the
magnificent performance of the two teams.
The splendid article of ball that the Seattle
and Tacoma teams have been putting up during
the present series has excited remarkable in
tercst in the result. This morning large party
of local enthusiasts will go to Tacoma by the
steamer Greyhound, which leaves at 80 O'Clock

Providence in the eighteenth inning by home
run hit by Radbourne, the pitcher.
Donohue, Of Tacoma, established another
record-that OF pitching twenty two consecutive
innings under the overland style of pitching.

Ready for Battle.
FIGHTERS BET ON JACKSON.
The Professor Is Increasing His Weight
How the Men win Put In
the Next Five Days.

SAN Francisco, May Is. Especial All
though the great international contest between
Peter Jackson and Jim Corbett is only few
days distant the supporters of the men have not
'lcosened up to any extent as yet, as far as the
betting is concerned The reason for this seems
to be that the Corbett men want odds that jack
sons hackers do not feel warranted in laying.
few bets have been made at odds averaging
ten to eight on Jackson, and considering the
fact that several sporting men from other cities
are expected TO arrive shortly with plenty OF
corbett money 1t In difficult to conceive how
Jim's local supporters can hope for the market
to improve A majority of the professional
betting men here are for Jackson, but they
have avoided giving publicity to the
fact. and have quietly watched the frantic
efforts of Corbetts admirers to get their money
laid at their own figures 1t is a wel-known
fact that Corbett's hackers are his intimate
friends, who have been such for years, and
nothing would convince them that there was the
slightest possibility of his losing. Public adj
miration for him is what has deprived them OF
chance OF laying their money at good odds. Cor
belts hackers went into the betting head first.
They were inexperienced gamblers, and before
they could be advised by Older heads they had
sent their end of the betting skyhigh
Corbett at present is in tip top condition, and
he Is to be congratulated on having had the SER
vices OF such trainers as Donaldson and Della
ney. Jim has been handled in the most ap-
proved style. He was worked until the low
weight of 17s pounds was reached, but he has
been on the build-up for couple OF weeks past,
and now weighs 1SS pounds, besides being as
hard as nails Jim will commence to ease up
in his work on Monday. but he will not relax
from training altogether until Wednesday
evening. He will come across the bay early
on Thursday, and will in all probability rest at
his fathers house until evening.
Jackson seems to be in splendid fettle. Dur
ing the past day or two Peter has put in his long
daily tramp in the early morning before sun-up,
and has devoted good deal of the day to in
door work. He busies himself at the black
smiths forge good deal, and also punches the
bag at night by lampiight. He is in excellent
spirits, and weighs 1877 pounds in ring costume.
