A EIERX RAIA.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 1.-William Miller,
Warren Hill. Albert krumbach, young
men, started in rowboat to cross over at
Point Breeze, the extreme southern part
of the city. The surface Of the water
at that place is always covered
with floating oil. One OF the
young men. after lighting his pipe, care
lessly threw the blazing match into the
river. The oil ignited, blazed up aud set
fire to the boat. and the occupants were
forced to swim for their lives. Hill was so
badly burned that he sank be-
fore he had taken dozen strokes.
The other two reached the shore, but
were terribly burned. and are in precari-
Gus condition. "he fire spread down the
river and damaged the wrecking steamer
Maryland TO the extent of $4,000 Streams
of water from the tugs and several engines
finally put the burning oil out.

that they are officers of peace. as we'll as

A COLOSSAL FAILURE.

LONDON. Nov. 1.-The collapse of the
Liberator Building society simultaneously
with the downfall of the London and Gen. :
eral bank is likely to prove one of the
largest financial SENSATIONS of the genera
ton. Rumors of the great extent of the
liabilities have been flying about ever
since the double failure was announced in
September last, but the figures presented
at II meeting of the shareholders aud credi-
tors of the Llberator society today are as
founding, even to those who have freely
expressed the opinion that the wreck
would be the worst in the history OF such
affairs. The official receiver said at today 5
meeting that there was only 900 600 in
sight with which to meet deficiency Of

THE GARFIELD RACE TRACK.

CHICAGO, Nov Judge Collins this af.
ternoon denied the petition of the Garfield
Park club for an injunction to restrain the
Chicago police from interfering with its
west side track. This, it is said, is the
final blow to the track. The decision will
apparently be fatal TO the Hawthorne
track AS we'll rs to the Garfield course.
The Illinois law providing that pool selling
is legal if carried on within regular racs
track inclosure is declared TO be unconsli-
tutional. If sustained by the supreme
court, Judge Collins decision seems TO
mean the closing of every race track in
Illinois

Pertinent Questions.

Commissioner McGregors seven
questions are decidedly interesting,
and since they are likely to arise in
subsequent elections, true answers that
will stand the test will have perma-
nent value. Perhaps this point cannot
be reached without an appeal to the
courts.
From the final decision the election
officers OF the future could take counsel
touching points which election officers
are not likely to decide correctly for
themselves. Voters seem to have done
better than the officers in this first
effort, which may be accounted Tor by
the greater ease OF doing what they had
to do. Still, there is something for
voters to learn with respect to their
rights and privileges under the new
law.
