ANOTHER FENCE.

G. Stap1es's Buildings This Time Recause
He Refuses to Pay tho Rent-The Fence

fSnecial to the PRESS.

Old Orchard, August 5.-There is n new
development in the border war between the
Boston and Maine and the owners of the
buildings abutting on the railroads property.
This time it is Mr.. Eben Staples of the
Old Orchard house, who is objecting to pay
Ing the assessment demanded by the rail-
road for the privilege of using its land as
public highway. Mr.. Staples owns two of
the buildings just behind the station, 'front.'
ing on the intervening strip of land which
serves as street for the stores, but which
is railroad property.
1t is stated that the reason for the rail-
roads demand this year for rent is because
the land has been open and used as street
for seventeen years, and ii this situation
should continue for twentysyears the land
would become public property. Any intima-
tion on the part of the owners that it is not
desired that the land become public, such
as charging rent or establishing the line by
a fence erected if only for one day, sets the
matter forward for another twenty years.
The railroad doesn't desire that the land
become public properly. 1t has demanded
rent before but not with entire success
This year it has determined to bring matters
to a crisis. Hence the building of the fence

Saturday, since Mr.. Staples refused to pay
the assessment, the railroad began building
a fence in front of his buildings just behind
the station. The row of posts were set up
and they are only foot from the front of
the piazza. A six foot fence there would
shut off the buildings very. badly.
One man says that Mr.. Staples will not
settle, and that Monday the railroad will
complete the fence. Another man says that
Mr.. Staples claims that he gave the land to
the railroad years ago, and that there was
some-provision in the transaction that justi-
fies him in refusing to pay this rent. At all
events there is more or less of deadlock
about it. The posts are now standing in

A LIVELY FIRE.
The Grocery Store of Slower & Chaplain
Burned

The alarm from box SIS at o'clock
this morning was for fire in the grocery
store on the corner of Forest and Con-
gress street, occupied by Stover & Chap
lain. The fire caught in the store room
and before it was discovered had gained
great headway. The interior of the store
was furnace when the department ar
rived, and the building, light wooden
structure soon fell in. Nothing was
saved and the efforts of the department.
were directed to saving the sur rounding
property. A wooden no use standing next
the store caught and was badly scorched,
but the department soon wet it down.
The stock In the store is a total loss
but is partly covered by insurance. T he
building was owned by Mr.. Harlow. but
the amount of insurance could not be
learned. 1t is reported that a kerosene
lamp was left burning in the store and
it is possible the fire caught in some
way from that. The total loss will be
several thousand dollars.

PANIC AT BALL GAME.
Fire in the Grand Stand at the
Chicago Game.
WILD SCENES OF PANIC IN THE
DENSE CROWD.

Women Screamed and Fainted-Hun-
No One Was Killed-Fire Caused by u
Cigar Stub Thrown Down-The Grounds
Will Be Used Today.
Chicago, August 5.-Time was called in
the seventh inning of the Chicago Cine in
natl ball game this afternoon at West Side
park by the cry of fire. Anson was showing
the visitors how to hit the ball when a red
light began to flash and rise along the side
of the stand where the fifty cent spectators
sit. There were 1900 of them in the seats
and 5000 witnessing the game altogether.
The breaking out of the fire caused gener-
al rush of the curious people in that part of
the grounds to the top of a stand to look, as
there was no longer any game in progress.
The woodwork of the stand and piles of
paper and other rubbish thrown around pro-
vided fuel for the games, which gained on
the imprisoned men and women before they
knew it. When they realized the danger all
was confusion in an instant among the
occupants of the flaming wooden structure.
Over 1000 persons were imperilled. In the
frantic efforts to escape from their perilous
positions they becamespanic stricken. They
found themselves hemmed in by fire on one
side and high board fence on the other,
erected to keep people from enoroadhing on
the diamond. Exits were few and small,
and already filled with smoke. Women
screamed in fright and men got jammed
against the sharp fence. The exits might as
well not have been there. Hands, faces, limbs
and clothing were cut and torn by the
scrambling mass of humanity trying to force
passage through the wire strands or over
them. The fence would not give way, but
gap in it bysusing bats like blacksmiths.
Hundreds escaped that way. Mr.. Hart
had the fence behind demolished fifty
feet in width, but the crowd were beyond
the stage of reason or observation. Five
minutes after the last spectator got out of
reach of the flames every seat was being
consumed. The rush to get away from the
advancing flames resulted in injury to
scores. Cuts, bruises, oontusions, broken
arm and broken legs were among the in
juries sustained. Many victims, although
badly hurt. left the grounds before the
police or others could get their names. The
spectators in the grand stand and on the
bleachers were at safe distance from the
fire and got away into the field without any
mishap. The property of the club was
damaged $4,000 before the fire department
extinguished the flames. cigar stub,
thrown among the rubbish started the fire.
The grounds will be used tomorrow by fenc-
ing off the burned portion. Nf
