MISS LEWIS ILLUMINATION.
1t Came Near Causing Many Deaths in a
Crowded House.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, November 3d.
At 2 o'clock this morning fire was dis
covered in grocery store at No. 572a
Elm street, kept by Mrs. Solomon Levi.
The fire department responded quickly,
and after much difficulty succeeded in
taking from the building sixty people
who were sleeping when the fire was dis
covered. The fire was peculiar and
dangerous one. After the flames had
been extinguished examination was
made and developments of a startling
character were brought to light. Early
last evening Mrs. Levi left home to :
tend a bali, leaving her daughter in
charge of the store. The young lady left
the building about 90 clock, after having
evidently made careful preparation for
burning the house. Waste saturated
with coal oil was found in the drawers
and other places about the store. and in
each pile of waste was lighted candle
so placed and timed that the fame would
each the oil saturated waste about 2
o'clock. That far the plan was success
full. and only the vigilcnce of police
man saved the building and its inhabi-
tants. The daughter cannot be found,
but Mrs. Levi has been arrested. She is,
however, very hysterical, too much SO to
make statement, though what she has
said confirms these statements.

GOTHAM GOSSIP
Concerning Nancy Hanks and Some 9th,
er Fast Horses

New YORK, November 30.-There is
every probability that Nancy Hanks, the
queen of the trotting turf, will trot
against time over one of the regulation
mile tracks in the vicinity of New YORK
next summer. Negotiations are being
made with Budd Doble, who arrived
from Boston on Monday morning. ..
Malcolm Forbes arranged with the ia
nous reinsman to trot the peerless mare
another year and if possible to reduce
still further her present record OF 2.04.
Should the negotiations prove success
full the many lovers of the trotter Will
have chance to witness a performance
which may possibly give the trotter a
'sboom'' that will cause the admirers OF
that class of racing to organize an asso-
citation to build track equipped in every
particular as well as the best trottlng
track in the country. Mr.. Doble says
that the people who attend the tiotting
meetings throughout the country are al
most unanimous in favor of the regula-
ton mile tracks.
Martha Wilkes is to be shipped to
Massachusetts,, where she will spend the
winter at the home of her owner, E. D.
Wiggin. In the early spring the mare
will be shipped to Terre Haute to join
Nancy Hanks and the other flyers in MI.
Doble's stable. Arion will be shipped to
Mr.. Forbes farm in Milton for the win

FOUR MILLIONS FOR ADVERTISING
Part of Nine Millions of Panama Funds
Held by Baron Reinach.

PARIS, November 30.-The Panama
Canal investigating committee continued
its inquiry today. M. Flory, auditor in
bankruptcy, was called upon to give tes-
timony as to how the money of the COM
pany was expended, but he refused to do
SO on the ground that it would be a vio-
lation of prof essional secrecy. The COM
mittee heard the evidence of NJ, Rossig-
not, NJ. Flory's predecessor. M. Rossig7
mol confirmed the statement that Baron de
Reinach received 1900, 900 francs from the
Panama Canal Company, of which 4,OOO.-7
900 francs were described as being used
for advertising. M. Rossignol furnished
the committee with the details regard
ing the sums paid for five journals. He
declared the sums spent for advertising
exceeded 100000 francs, but said he
had not met with the names of any pol
iticians in his examination of the com
pany's books.

where Fishing is Exciting sport.


PHIPsBURG, November 30.-They are
catching bass in Winnegance creek be-
tween this town and Bath, and as it is
close time on the fish. the wardens and
the fishermen are having lively times.
The fish bring IS to SO cents "a pound in
Boston and New York markets, accord
ing to their size and the season in which
they are caught. The fishermen who
send their illegal bass away to some fav-
orite Boston firm are known by numbers
instead OF names, so the wardens cannot
tell to whom box of fish belongs even
if they do seize it in close time.
Three fishers work together; two pull
the nets and the third watches the war
dens and gives his companions signals by
means of pistol shots Or by flashing a
dark lanterns.
The fishermen have boat made like
skiff that they will use in the winter
time. It has iron shoes, SO they can
drag it over the ice, and when they come
to open water they can get in and row.
Many an exciting boat race takes place
between the fishers and the wardens.
The men dress in white and have their
boats painted that color, SO they cannot
be seen SO plainly on the snow.
