MAJOR MOORE IS MISSING.
A Prominent Pittsburg Nan Dis
Here.
(Dy Associated Press.


PITTSBURG. June 20.-A personal In
a New York paper asking for informa-
ton concerning the whereabouts OF
L. Moore evidently refers to
Major Samuel f. Moore. who has been
missing from his home here for the past
five weeks.
Major Moore is a well-known business
man of Pittsburg. formerly a stock
holder in the Carnegie Steel Company,
and lately a successful real estate
dealer. He went to New York Ave
weeks ago to attend a meeting of the
South American Railroad Company.
Shortly after the meeting he disappear
ed from the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where
he was stopping, and he has not been
seen since.
Pittsburg and New York police have
been working on the case. but no clue
has developed.
Major Moore originated the Kelley
League after he had made n successful
visit to Dwight, H.. several years ago,
and for the past three years has been
President OF the National Kelley
League. His family inc friends incline
to the foul play theory.

terrorizcd people assembled to their roofs
or to places In the streets. where they
could watch the fire.
1t seems that O tank of naphtha, To-
Gated on one Of the upper floors. OF the
Gas Company's pumping tower, had ex-
ploded, from some cause. The
tank had "A capacity of 1900 gallons, but
Is said to have been only. partly hlled at
the time. : The force Of the explosion
blew off the top of the tank, and carried
away a portion of the roof.
There are several other tanks In the
Immediate vicinity of the pumping
tower, and for a time Il was feared the
intense heat. II not the spread Of the
flames, would cause other explosions.
The fremen directed their attention to
saving the other tanks, n allowed the
fire in the tower to burn itself out.
Two alarms were sent In, and In ad-
dition to the large force of engines this
hre-boats assisted in keeping the flames
confined to the one spot.
Reserves from the East Thirty-fftt
and F~ifty-first street police stations
were called out To keep the crowd In
line, and the tunnel In Forty-secono
street, between First and Second ave.

brought hundreds to the scene.
The loss Is not more than $40. 900, but
had the flames spread to the adjoining

Reflections ON Tips Death.

To the Editor:
The great Central Park 10 left In the dark since
Tip got the meal that turned up his heel. It was
sl very well for the keeper to tell how he'd give
him the ball that would finish It all, but he
lacked the gall when he cams near tho stall. and
Tip saw it all and smelt tho great ball that soon
made him fall where he stood in hts stall. Tip
soon forgot all. 1t was a hard fall that ended II
all. for rip was % tall that when he did fap
with such a great roar and lay on the floor tip
men opened the door and feared little more HIS
terrible roar. OF course It is sad. but the P9rk
Board is glad 10 think they are rid and how etsy
they did with one little ball kill Tip In his stall.
