Fire I'm Oil WarahnuSAl 1

WHATCoM, Aug. 6. - Especial. - Fire
broke out in the Standard Oil Company's
brick storehouse here this afternoon, but
was put out before it made much head
way. The cause of the fire is unknown.
1t is supposed TO have started from spon-
taneous combustion. The walls and CELL
ing of the building were charred and some
barrels of skid grease burned till they
leaked. Lack of air smothered the flames,
and the firemen soon put an end to all
danger. The building was filled with cans
and barrels of oil of different kinds.

COLD STORAGE ON THE SKEENA.
A New Departure That Will Prove Of
Great Benefit to Salmon Gamers.

VICTORIA, Aug. Especial B. NJ.
Rudy. of the Vulcan iron works, of San
Francisco, arrived from the North several
days ago, having iast completed cold
storage system at Cunningham's cannery,
on the Skeena river, which is proving big
boon to the cannery men. besides opening
a new phase of the fishing industry. When
Mr.. Rudy left Skeena 5000 salmon had
already been frozen. and were being pre-
pared for shi lament East. The fish, imme-
diately upon being taken from the water,
are put in a room where the temperature
is 20 degrees below zero. They are left
there six or seven hours, when they
are removed to another and larger
room thirty below freezing, where they
are kept for couple of weeks. They are
then placed In Theoretically sealed cases
and are ready for shipment. Ii is claimed
that they will keep for years and are just
as good as fresh fish when opened. Other
Northern canneres are negotiating for the
erection of similar systems and it is ex-
pected that before long Fasteners will be
enabled to eat fresh Skeena river salmon.
Besides opening up this new industry,
cold storage is also of great benefit to can
ners in saving fish after big run. For
instance, while Rudy was up north there
was an immense run of salmon on the
Skeena and the Gamers cold not handle
fish. Without could storage they would
have to stand on their docks and watch
the fish running past their door. With
it they are able to take all the fish they
can and put them in cold storage ware
houses, where they will keep till they are
able to use them

any attempt at seizure would have been
made, iE
He and other cannerymen have been
getting fish from American waters inside

never we're interfered with before He has
reported the seizure TO the collector of Gus

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.

Is it case of foul play9 IL the question
town of Hamden. Early yesterday morn
ing the dead body of an unknown man
about forty years of age, five feet ten
inches in height, was found lying alongside
the tracks of the Consolidated railroad,
with deep cash on the head over the left
ear. The man was well dressed in dark
suit and dark brown overcoat. He had
sandy whiskers and hair slightly tinged
with gray.
| Medical Examiner Swift of the town of
Hamden was summoned and after an in
vestigation ordered the removal of the
body to Lewis & Maycock's morgue in this
city. Up to late hour last evening the
body had been identified.
Two theories are advanced as to the
manner in which the man met his death
One is to the effect that the man wal
walking along the tracks when he was
struck by the freight train and thrown
against telegraph pole, striking agains
his head and instantly killed; the othe
theory, and the one which seems the mos
plausible, owing to the fact that there ar
no bruises upon the body, as 1t Is nov
more than probable there would have beel
had the man been thrown or fallen from
or struck by train, is that the man wa
foully dealt with and his body placed alon
side the tracks with the idea of creatin
the impression that he had met with deaf
on the tracks. The matter will b

The '95 eleven played against the Nor
walk Tennis club on Saturday at Norwalk
and defeated them by a score of "a to o
in two twenty minute halves. Yale played
too strong game for the Norwalks, who
showed lack of practice.
The Yale '96 football team was defeated
Saturday afternoon by tho Phillips An
dover academy at Andover by a score of
$40. The work of the Yale freshmen
was characterized chiefly by fumbling,
although good tackles were made by
Thompson.
Yale and Wesleyan played champion
ship game at Yale field Saturday after
noon. The score was 74-0. Yale had
everything her own way. Wesleyan put
up very poor game, while Yale played
| without break.
| In the last three years Yale has scored
1868 points to her opponents SS.
A great many prophecies have been
made since the Prinoeton-University OF
Pennsylvania game as to the probable out
| come of the game between Yale and Uni
versity of Pennsylvania next Saturday
Princeton was weak in the backs, where
the University of Pennsylvania was strong
At present Yale's prospects are the
brightest. Her team has not once beer
scored against, while Harvard has beer
scored against twice for total of twenty
four points and Princeton has been de
feated, and that in a championship gam,
by team which was considered in ever,
way her inferior.
The team which is to represent Yale i
practically decided, barring accidents. 1
is as follows: Hinkey, Greenway, ends
Wallis, Winter, tackles; Hickox, Sanford
guards; Stillman, center; Mccormick. quar-
ter-back; L. Bliss, Graves, half back; But
terworth, full back. The substitutes ar
Norton, Cochrane, Coke, ends; Armstrong
tackle; ONeil, MoCres, guard; Adee, quar-
ter; G. Bliss, Hamlin, halves; Richards
full. Of these men Hinkey, Wallis, Win
ter, Mccormick and L. Bliss arc ranke
with the best in the country. OF Green

year, great things are expected. The Ger

lam Brown, for several years track walker
on the Consolidated railroad between
Naugatuck and Bridgeport, was struck by
the freight train this morning at $3.50,
about half mile from the Ansonia depot.
There is sharp curve near the scene of
the accident and the engineer of the train
said that as he rounded this curve he saw
the body of man on the track. He tried
to slack up, but could not stop in time.
The speed was lessened somewhat, how
ever, and the body was not thrown off the
track. The man was picked up uncon-
scious and taken to Ansonia and medical
assistance summoned. A compound fract-
ure of the skull was found. He was
taken to his home in Naugatuck, where he
died at 2 O'Clock.
His lamp was found beside the track
burning. The train hands think that the
man was foully dealt with. He was a re-
liable, sober and industrious man. His
death will be investigated. He was fifty
years old and leaves wife and two
children.

CHURCH NOTES,

At Trinity Church-Intercsting Serv-

Work Among the Seamen.
At Trinity church yesterday forenoon
Rev. DR.. HARDWOOD concluded his very in
teresting review of the work accomplished
at the recent general convention of the
Episcopal church, which he began on the
previous Sabbath. He also read the letter
of the house of bishops.
The church was crowded last evening
and many persons were turned away, being
unable to get inside the edifce. The occa-
| sion was the thirty sixth monthly festival

Mr.. w. R. Hedden.

| ANNUAL SERMON, LADIES' sEAMEN's FRIEND
SOCIETY.
Mr.. Poteat preached the annual sermon
before the Ladies' Seamen's Friend society
last evening. At the close of the sermon
he urged two practical suggestions. The
first was that the Sailors home should be
at once adequately equipped. This is es-
pecially needed in view of the!Lway In
which sailors, on coming ashore, are VIC
| timized by landsharks. The second sug-
gestion was that Seamen's Friend societies
everywhere agitate for the enactment of
laws for the protection of mariners. Such
laws are in force in Great Britain, and are
an untold blessing to the sailors.
