DESTROYED BY FIRE.
The Y. NJ. C. A. Building in Washing
ton Badly Damaged.
Mistake I'm the Alarm Allowed the
Flames to Make Headway.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The Young
Mems Christian Association building on
New York avenue, near the treasury
department, was almost destroyed this
morning by a fire, which for time
threatened destruction TO a large part OF
the block G. Bryan's fine grocery store
adioins the Y. M. &. A. building on the
west, and was badly burned, while the
hardware store OF James b. Lambie was
considerably damaged by water. The
fire was discovered shortly before D
o'clock by policeman. He rang in the
alarm Immediately, but owing TO mis-
take the fire department went to
corner, several blocks away. and before the
engines arrived on the scene the flames
had made great headway, and the whole
interior of the building was ablaZe, as
was the back building OF BryaD's
grocery, TO which the flames had spread.
Before the fire was extinguished, the
Y. NJ G. A. building was practically
total loss. and all the goods in the upper
stories of the grocery were ruined, the
goods on the first floor escaping without
much damage. The Y. NJ G. A. building
was an old-fashioned and rather light
structure and was used as a clubhouse
by John Chamberlin until about 10 years
ago, when ii passed into the hands OF
the Y. NJ. G. A. The total loss reaches
about S35, ,000 The Y. NJ &. A. building
was valued at $40, OO0 with an aggregate
insurance OF $500 The Bryan store was
valued at s20, 600, fully insured and the
damage to steek Is covered by 5000 in
surance. The cause of the fire is unknown.

THE FIFTH'S GREAT DAY.
Old Veterans VIII Have Their Annual
Reunion at Silver Springs.

Every living veteran of the old Fifth
Rhode Island Heavy Artillery and Battery
+ Association "Belcher's Battery" -
knows that annually on the last Friday in
July his comrades will get together for
day of outing and "reminiscences. This
has been the custom for SO many years of
the allied associations of Colonel Sis
sons heavies and Belcher's gallant boys
who fought together under Burnside in
North Carolina.
This year-next Friday-the old soldiers
go TO Silver Spring, where, at O'Clock,
they eat CLANS. Their wives and families
will go along with them, as they always
do, and the families of the comrades who
are dead will be taken care OF, also, as
they always are OH this annual occasion.
Secretary and treasurer Lieutenant Levi
Burden, who has held those offices for 10
years, and was at the last reunion re-
elected for life, Is as usual I'm charge of
the arrangements and this year he has in
vited all the veterans OF the two associa-
tions, who are inmates of the Soldiers
Home, To Join the festivities as his per-
sonal guests. There are 10 or 10 of the
old comrades at the home and IL will
be especially gala day for them, thanks
TO the thoughtfulness in behalf OF the boys
OF the treasurer OF the association, whose
example is likely to set pace for some
OF the other veteran associations.

How Vacations May or May
Not Be Spent.
Information Given to News Readers
in a Spasm Of Confidence.
IL the Plans Are Changed Later On
You Will Know of IL.

As this is the season when many OF
our citizens, including public officials,
prefer a change of scene, rather than re-
manning at their desks or usual occupa-
pations, and as the latter class and some
OF the former have often, either through
maliciousness or mistake, had their desti-
nations wrongfully printed, THE NEWS
has secured reliable information on this
all-important matter.
Henry c. Clark-No! No! No, sirl 1t

August on a fishing trip with Commis-
sioner OF Public>Wor Smith and City

sympathizer with lost causes, being a

visit of coincidence to his fellow worker in
the cause of Irish Home Rule, John

IN INVENTOR PHINNEY's BASEMENT.

His fender presents the most inviting APP
pearance to fall against of all the rest.
1t is as attractive as a haymow, and not
much more bulky. Mr.. Phinney has
spent many hours in perfecting IT, adding
ropes and rings and tackle as fast as
they suggested themselves, and at every
conceivable point, so the grand result is
suggestive of the fisherman, or the
emblem of the defunct cordage trust. Ii
is attached TO a mock car dasher behind
which Mr. Phinney stands, TO show how
il works. There are many wheels con-
cealed behind that dasher, in addition to
the apparatus necessary 10 run the car by
electricity, and the principal drawback is
that the employees OF the road would
have to take course in n mechanical
college for mo.ormen, before they would
be competent to operate the Phinney
fender But still 1t is beautiful thing
TO fall on, and TO illustrate that the
venerable inventor has made his pretty
little granddaughter part OF his exhi-
biton. She Is kept dressed up for any
chance visitors, and her part is to be
thrown against the net by the grand
father, and the more enthusiastic he gets,
the harder he throws the child and the
more she laughs.
The committee adjourned at Lockwood
street until 10:30 O'Clock next Monday
morning.

IT WAS EARL ENNIS.
Body Of the Boy Killed Yesterday
Identified by His Father.

The boy killed by the "hyer" on the Con-
solidated road yesterday afternoon has been
identified as Earl Ennis OF " Rodman street.
Yesterday afternoon Earl and three OF his
companions were playing on the track and
were getting out of the way OF freight
train and had started TO cross the incoming
track. Tho other boys succeeded in getting
out OF the way, but Earl being a little in the
rear of his companions, ran directly IN front
of the moving train.
Medical Examiner Palmer found that the
boys left shoulder and arm had been broken
and that his head had been crushed. DIR. Fal.
mer was of the opinion that Ennis was killed
instantly. The mangled remains were given
in charge OF undertaken Osgood and it was
nearly midnight before they were identified
Earl not coming home at the usual hour led
his parents TO believe that it was he who had
been killed, so the father went 20 station
and from there TO Osgood's and there found
his boy. He was 10 years old.
The funeral services vii be observed tomor-
row afternoon from the residence of the par
ents.

IN OPERATION.
JeIIy's Fender Examined by
Commissioners.
II Was Attached to an Eddy Street
Car This FOrsnoon.
A Pleasant Half Hour Spent In Mr..
Phipney's Basement

The members OF the car fender COM
mission took carriages this forenoon Tor
the car house on Thurbers avenue where
they witnessed the operation OF MIR. A.
III. Jelly's fender in actual use. 1t was
attached to an Eddy street car and after
several illustrations OF tripping and
careful explanation of the mechanism the
car was run out on the avenue at a speed
of five or six miles an hour and the
fender dropped. IL worked very much as
a street sweeper but showed In practice
what its inventor claimed for II yesterday
forenoon at the city hall. No one seemed
willing, however, to apply the last test by
picked up. The portion OF this contri-
vance which met with the most approval
was the supplementary fender or wheel
guard that il placed under the car directly
in front of the wheels and acts stimuli
taneously with the front fender. The
chief objection to this as to all the other
devices SO far presented is that the fender,
while keeping man from the wheels
may itself infiict enough injury TO prove
fatal. AS one OF the comm lssioners said
it doesn Z make much difference how a
man is killed IL he's got TO be, anyway.
Mr.. Jelly's only answer TO this objection
was that a person being picked up by a
car fender mustn't expect to fall in bed
of roses
The test was witnessed by crowd OF
amused and interested people, and the
avenue was alive with inventors who
want hearings. One of the spectators
was a bright-looking little woman, who
said that her name is Mrs. Nellie Dodge,
and she has plans for safeguards and
front fender that she will submit for ap-
proval at city hall next Monday.
MR.. PHINNEY's NET.
From the car house the commissioners,
accompanied by general manager Potter
of the railroad company, drove to Mr.. III.
Phinney's house at the corner OF Lock
wood and Hospital streets to see his
scheme The old gentleman was the
happiest man in town as he ushered the
guests into his wife's little combination
dry goods store and dining room in the
basement, which he took possession of a
long while ago TO work out his ideas.

ESSENCE OF MEANNESS.
Woman Robbed While Watching Her
Dead Baby.
A Cur Went to Offer Assistance and
stole Her Last Dollar.

The police of Station are responsible
for the report that Augustus Jordan is
one of the meanest men in the city, for he
called at the home of Kate White who
resides on Lockwood street, yesterday
afternoon. Here Jordan found that a
child about 2 years old was dead, and its
told her that he would go for his wife,
and have her remain with her for the
night. Mrs. White then left the room
for a moment, and when she returned
Jordan was gone, and so was her pocket
book, which contained q, all the money
that she had.
Mrs. White reported the case TO Captain
Costine, and gave orders 10 his men to
find Jordan IL possible. Officer Ordway
found him on Broadway later in the
evening. In the Sixth District Court this
morning he pleaded not guilty, and was
held for trial Friday.

who drive by the spot in the dusk.
Shortly after the discovery of the murder,
somebody stuck two slabs OF wood in the
earth, marking the position of the body
painted In black letters on the respective
uprights. The sentiment of the myster-
ious sign painter has gone farther than
this, however. On the big rock near the
middle OF the opening I'm the woods he
has painted with red paint the inscription
shown by the sketch accompanying.
He started off so generously with the
sign work that he could not complete his
idea on one side OF the rock, and was so
compelled to finish il on the other side
the word, "over," directing the witness
to walk around the rock and read the
completed inscription.
On the fiatter rock hardly is a rude
cross also painted in red and the lettering
on the wooden uprights has also been
done over in red.
