THE. FIRE RECORD.

AN alarm of fire from box 81 in Allegheny
about o'clock last evening was caused by
q small blaze in the engine room of the
Allegheny Speciality Works on Frazier
street
AT Moody. Tex, near Waco, Monday
night, a very disastrous fire occurred, de-
stroying half the business portion OF the
town, including the postoffice. Loss, $40, 600;
insurance, $4,000. Incendiary.
NEARLY all of Charlestown, Ark, burned
Monday night. Total loss, s500Oo. The
Court House and records were burned
There is very little insurance. The fire
originated in the Clerks office.
ABOUT $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning an
alarm of fire was turned in from box 143, at
the corner of Eighteenth and Sarah streets,
Southside. The cause of the alarm was the
discovery of fire in the two-story frame
building at No. 1926 Carson street, occupied
by Mack Wilkosfsky as suspender factory
No. u Engine Company quickly responded,
but the flames had gained such headway
that before the fire could be extingu1shed
the building was gutted. No cause can be
assigned for the origin of the fire. The
building was owned by Mrs. Hutton. The
total lose is placed at s., 500

The little stallion got the second one very
easily, but it was because Geers had been
going easy with Henrietta, for when he sent
her along she set a much faster clip and had
the rest beat after she secured the third
heat in 2:l9L.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.)
HARTFORD, Aug. 25.-An unusually large
audience welcomed the light harness cracks
at Charter Oak Park this afternoon and the
three races were all lively. There was quite
a delegation from New York. David Bon
ner, T. W. Pearsall owner of Dawson;
Charles Baclman, C. H. Kemmer, Albert
Hall, J. F. Dawson and Harry Hughes among
the number. The clouds disappeared before
the horses began their battles. but the air
was heavy and oppressive. The fast course
was a trifie soft after recent showers, but it
was good enough for C. j. Hamlin's team to
do mile in 2:l413. The Buffalo breeder put
Globe beside Belle Hamlim, instead of JUS
tina as he knew the gelding had lot of
speed and the change was most satisfactory
Geers was in the wagon and was going easy
to the quarter in S514 seconds. He let the
pair step along little faster each quarter
until they flew down the stretch at q tre-
mendous clip, and the last quarter was in 81
seconds.

tories Shut Down and Cable Cars at a
Standstill.
A large portion of the city was without any
water for time yesterday owing to a break
in the 36-inch main at the Haights Run
bridge, near the Highland reservoirs. The
break occurred about o'clock yesterday
morning and the water poured through
the break with terrific force and its roar
could be heard long distance. An hour
later the water was shut Off from the main
and preparations we're begun for repairing
the break 4 force OF men was at work all
day and at late hour last night had not
vet succeeded in fitting the ponderous pipes
Officials said it would be finished before day
light this morning.
The break caused a great amount of in
convenience all over the city. Hydraulic
elevators were everywhere useless. The
Citizens Traction line was unable to run its
cars until after 8 o'clock on account of hav-
ing no water for steam at the power house.
A fire engine was finally secured and water
was pumped into the boilers.
throughout Lawrenceville the supply of
water was shut off all day. A few wells In
the district were frequented by crowds of
people with buckets. Rolling mills all
through Lawrencevtlle were either entirely
shut down OF running half force. The latter
secured some water pumped through lines of
hose from the river. The West Penn Hospi-
tai was seriously inconvenienced.
There is no cause assigned for the break,
except possible defect in that portion Of

day evening sister of Yorman's was mar
ried to Joseph Bromski and the wedding
feast was held at Vornan's house on South
Twenty eighth street. Zellinski was pre-
yiously an intimate friend of Miss Vorman's
and, it is said, WAS about to marry her him
selfa short time ago. Miss Vorman failed
to invite Zellinski to her wedding and he
did not hear of it until about 10 o'clock Mon
day night,
He was determined to attend the wedding,

out an invitation and was received politely
by the bride and groom. That did not sat
isfy him. He wanted to know why he had
not been invited and on receiving no

ever contested was the opening of to-days
programme. The unfinished three year old
and under pace. Brentwood, the two year
old was good for two heats, Jesse L. claimed
two and was distanced. Then the fun be-
gan. No one thought himself capable of
picking the winner and no one did pick the
winner. The worlds record for the largest
number of heats in a race was broken, the
previous record being eleven while. this
class of three year olds went under the wire
twelve times, taking two entire afternoons
to do it in. In the next race the talent
picked Monbars for the winner owing to his
work in 2:2lL5 in Chicago last season. He won
easily in two heats the last half of the heat
being made in 1:0s11, while the last quarter
was in 80 seconds, a time never equalled by
Axtell or Allerton in their two year old
form. Thursday he will start against his
record.
In the third stake for 2:3O PAGERS, Direct
sold flvorite and carried off the three
straight heats. He was hard pushed, how
ever, by Mascot, the second heat would
have been pronounced dead heat had it not
been for the instantaneous photograph
which showed Direct a winner by nose.
