IN THE FLAMES,
Six Men Cremated in the

Burned.

DETROIT, MICH, July 10.-Six men and
nearly hundred horses were cremated in
the fire that destroyed the Case livery
stable early this morning.
The building was four stories high, the
upper stories being used as sleeping quar-
tiers by employees of the stable. The fire
started on the first floor and spread so
rapidly that before the occupants of the
building were aware of their danger all
means of escape were cut off. The fire
alarm was at once turned in, but the men
in the burning building had become fran
tic with fear before the tremen arrived.
One man, John Cummings, helper, be-
came so much excited that he threw him.
self headlong out of the window, and was
SO badly hurt that he died.
AS soon as the firemen reached the scene
they raised ladders TO the upper stories,
and soon all the men who could be seen
were rescued. BY hard work the fire was
confined to the building in which it crig-
mated.
On investigation after the fire had been
brought under control it was found that
six of the occupants of the building had
persisted in the fire. The names of the
dead are: John Shaw, oiler; John Bow
man, second cook; Thomas Webb, painter;
Edward Hughes. chamoisman; James R.
Shaw, harness maker; Charles Davis,
stock-owner, and John Cummings, an en-

IN Boston, Cambridge and Somerset
churches. Among the most important
was that at Berkeley Temple, at which
Rev. George E. Horn Jr., DID,, of Boston

subject of the evening, "The Religious

DERISIVE COmMENTS.

The English Press Rejoices i,s the Defeat
of Cornell.
LONDON, Eng. July 10.-The Post will
say tomorrow:
English style, length and leg work
proved inyincible. A more miserable col
lapse than that which occurred in the
Cornell boat was never seen before"
The Daily News will say:
at was significant sign of the feeling
created that scarcely a single cheer was
raised for the losers, which was quite a
contrast to the vociferous applause be-
slowed on the Argonauts after their plucky
struggle Tuesday,"
Sporting Life will say that it regrets the
disparaging remarks made by certain we'll
known persons at Henley in the presence
of American newspaper men. 1t will add !:
These remarks give an entirely false
idea of how the English press and sporting
public regard the visit of the Cornell crew.
We were glad to receive them. We shall
not be inconsoiable if at future occasion
the tables are turned"
The Sportsman will say:
The Leander crew are revenged. We
should be something more than human if
we did not triumph. 1t was sweet revenge
to see Cornell wiped out in that derisive
and contemptuous fashion. Bygones
should be bygones."

IN SESSION,
Fifty Thousand Endeavorers
Gather for the Boston
Convention.
Meetings Held simultaneously In
Nineteen Churches of the
City and Suburbs.

BOSTON, MASS, July 10-With the ear
Hest trains and boats, almost with the ris-
ing OF the sun, the great army of the Chris
tian Endeavorers began to pour into the
city to-day in way which utterly threw
into the shade any previous influx of visit
ors to any convention. Singly, or in par
ties of two or three on the regular cars in
parties of fifty or one hundred in special
cars attached to regular trains, and in
great delegations numbering several hun
dreds On special trains, they came pouring
steadily into the stations, and under the
skillful direction of the railroad reception
committee soon melted away through the
streets on the way to their quarters. They
came from every part of the country, from
Maine to California BY midnight to-
night nearly $1,000 Endeavorers were in
town.

CYCLERS At ASBURy PARK.
Zimmerman Leads Run of
the Wheelmen to
His Home.
Delegates to the National League
Convention Participate
In Ball.

ASBURY PARK, n. j., July 10.-The
weather gods again blessed the National
meet of the League of American Wheelmen
to-day, everything being perfect. At 1870
a run of 300 wheelmen and wheelwomen
led by the great Zimmerman himself, set
out from the local clubhouse for the home
of the champion at Manshuan, seven miles
away. Harry Wheeler accompanied the
procession. They returned in time for din
ner.
The afternoon was to a certain extent
thrown away. On account of the nom
receipt of the sanction by Chairman Gid
con of the L. A. w. racing board, A. A.
Hanson's 100-mile record trial was not
ATTEMPTED, but he started for the hour
record, paced. Hanson made within 800
yards of twenty-five miles, for which dis
lance Meintjes record of 57:40 3-5 still
stands.
The cash prize races of Thursday and
Fridays one and two mile events have
been changed on the programme to
handicaps instead of scratch races, in order
to make them more interesting, and give
the men an opportunity to earn their
money by even chances. Every racing
man in town was ON the track at one time
or another to-day. Among the men who
stuck most persistently to the work were:
Eddie Bald, w. f. Sims, Clint Coulter
Monte Scott, Frank Titus, the Johnsons,
Zimmerman and Wheeler and Otto Zieg-
Ter. The latter kept his own place on the
pole. and would not change it for any
body.
Tomorrow the racing begins, with trial
heats in the finals in the afternoon. This
evening grand National-league ball was
given at the auditorium. The executive
committee of the League of American
Wheelmen will confer with the Board of
Trade OF Cycle Manufacturers tomorrow
evening, when most important questions
will probably be taken up.

HUNDREDS ARE HOMELESS
SaIina People Driven to High
Ground by the Rising
Waters.
One Man and His Wife BareIv Es-
cape Drowning by Climb
ing Trees.

SALIVA, KANs., July 10.-At 1 O'Clock
this morning the Smoky Hill River was
thought to be at a standstill. A fresh
flood came. however, and at noon to-day ii
had risen five inches more, and is still ris.
ing. Five hundred people have been
driven from their homes, and have taken
refuge in the school buildings, being cared
for by active citizens. Scores of farmers
and their families have had to fly for their
lives, and crops have been destroyed and
stock and buildings washed away. The
damage cannot be estimated till the water
recedes.
A Swede, who lived ten miles up the
river, went with his wife on horseback to
elevated land to rescue his cattle. While
there, sudden change in the water came
and submerged the couple, and they barely
escaped drowning by climbing trees.
