FIREBUGS AT THE FAIR.
Three Attempts Made to Burn the AgrI
cultural Building

CHICAGO, H., Feb. S.-Firebugs made
three attempts to burn agriculture hall,
at the Worlds Fair grounds, within
eighteen hours ending at 8 O'Clock
nearly rewarded the persistency OF
the incendiaries and only the most
tremendous efforts of the tiremen saved
the great building. AS it was, the
southwest corner of the splendid edifice
is charred and ugly skeleton whose
unsightliness contrasts strangely with
the ivory of the surrounding palaces.
The loss approximates 100000.

Thamasaga district natives favor the

Two of the notable members of the
b. OF L. E., and two who have attracted
much attention in st. Paul and been es
pecially welcomed by all who have
had the pleasure of making their &C
quaintance, are "Jim and Joe." These
men are engineers who reside at Toledo.
Ohio. and who run the same engine on
the fastest trains on the Lake Shore
road from Toledo to Cleveland and re-
turn. Their names are Joseph Polit-
and James A. Lathrop. and their rela-
tions have been so intimate for so many
years that no one speaks Of the one
without mentioning the other.
Joseph Polite was born in New York
state on July 4. 1914. He has been a
full-fedged engineer since 1871. and
with the exception of one year he
has been in the employ of the
Lake Shore company Oh the run named.
For twelve years he has been upon the
same engine. making round trip from
Toledo to Cleveland one day and the
next day laying off while his friend
Jim makes the same run.

branches are still rising at midnight,
and the flood is as high as it was during

sure to be inundated tonight. and the
people are moving their furniture into
upper floors and other places of safety.
The Lewisburg and Tioga wagon

PHILADELPHIA. May 2l.-Six three
masted SchOonerS ana canal boat were
carried from their moorings on the
Schuylkill river by the flood today, and
lie jammed against South street bridge.
Mary Lord is sunk in midcRanpel, and
the others are more or less damaged, and
their weight threatens to carry away
the bridge at any minute. The Lord
struck first, going directly against the
pier upon which the engine house and
pivot OF the draw rested. A hole was
stove in her side and she began sinking
rapidly. Her captain and six men were
aboard her. and the captain of the
schooner Rundlet, which was moOred to
an adjoining wharf, sent out yawl and
rescued them. The Lord went to the
bottom half an hour after she struck.
She lies in the middle of the channel
with her masts up stream and the flood
falling over her hull in a cascade.
The danger of the collapsing of the
bridge will be most Imminent tomorrow
morning. The accident occurred at
flood tide this afternoon. The tidal rise
will begin again at l a. IN. tomorrow
morning and will reach its greatest
height at a. M, when disaster is feared
from the combined strength of the flood
tide and the swift-howing freshet. Be-

THREE CLOSE FRIENDS.

The distance from Toledo to Cleve-
land is 1l3 miles, and the regular sched-
ule on their trains is two hours and
twenty minutes. but they have not in
frequently made the run in less than
two hours.
James A. Lathrop was born at Cleve-
lane, o.. in August, 1S49, and for twenty
years has been an engineer on the Lake
Shore road. For twelve years he has in
terchanged the trip running the same
engine as his friend Joe. AS the result
Of this friendship and joint run
"Joe and Jim' are known throughout
the entire Vanderbilt system and among
the brotherhood generally of the entire
country.
A warm friend and the join
guest in st. Paul of Jim and Joe
is Webb c. Ball, leading Jeweler of
Cleveland, o. He was born at Mount
Vernon, o., in 1919, and enjoys the dis
tincton of being in charge of the time
service and watch inspec ton of the
entire Vanderbilt system. He has his

division of the great system. and every
engineer must have his watch inspected
every two weeks by Webb or his
agent, and every six months each
engineer must get written
certificate of inspection OF his watch.
By the aid of his friends, Joe aud Jim,
Mr.. Ball has been able to develop what
he terms the B. of l.. E. watch, a
watch esl ecially designed to keep ac-
curate time upon the heavy engine,
while running at high speed. His engi-
neer friends would test the watch
as he was developing it, until
every defect was remeGied. and
it has become as near perfection as
timepiece as delicate mechanism
will permit. When the convention as
sembled in St. Paul, Jim and Joe in
sisted that Webb should be their guest,
and the result has been most notable
trio of visitors.
Those who do not know Joe and jim
have failed to become acquainted with
