FIREMEN DIE ON DUTY.
Falling Walls at Cincinnati Kills
Two and Injuries
Eighteen.

Cincinnati. O., July 1S.-Two fremen
lost their lives in fire that broke out at
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the five
story grain and hay warehouse of Her
mesch & Co.. at Walnut and Water
streets, near the Ohio end of the suspen-
sion bridge connecting Cincinnati and
Covington, Ky. Many others were in
jured eighteen of whom have been ac-
counted for The dead:
HALEY, CAPT. MIKE, of Company %.
Wisely, THOMAS, pipeman Of Com
pany s.
The fire is said to have started from a
spark blown from the pipe of stranger
who had stepped into the entrance to the
warehouse out of the wind to light his
pipe. The fire moved in a northerly d.
rection through the square, destroying
everything in its way until it struck the
walls of the new buildings of Simmons
& Norris. on the northeast corner of the
block. Here is where the calamity to
the firemen occurred. Their aim was to
save the Simmons & Norris building,
of Nelson Morris Il Co. Of Chicago,
which adjoins. Up to this time the Mel
son Morris warehouse had been damaged
but little. There was q feeling of COM
parative satisfaction among the hremen
and police at saving this valuable prop
erty. but just then the bullying wall
swayed, cracked, and in sight of 10000
people and in the hearing of many more
came the crash. Brave men were buried
alive beneath burning timbers and red
hot bricks. Women in the crowd tainted
and were carried away.
AS soon as the dust caused by the terri
BILE crash had cleared sufficiently to per-
NIT the rescuers to see the work of taking
out the dead and injured in the collapsing
building commenced.
The property loss is not heavy, and on
buildings and contents will not exceed
100000; some Of the buildings had re-
Gently been condemned for bridge ap-
breaches.

Washington, D. c., July 1.-THE fruit
report of the agricultural department for
July shows a material decline in condi-
ton The report is summarized as fol
lows: The condition of apples has been
materially lowered since the report of
June. Losses have been especially
marked in important states having been
already low in conditions; viz, the New
England states, New York, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. In
the Piedmont region the outlook is decid-
eddy more favorable. On the Pacific
coast conditions fell about IL per cent,
but the prospects there are still good.
The peach crop returns are also I'M
favorable, Georgia and Connecticut alone
showing a normal percentage. New Jer-
sey has lost II points and now stands at
70; Delaware Ii, standing at 20; Mary

pect of less than half a crop, while Ohio

MINERS IMPRISONED.
Little Hope that Any iOf the Nine
Missing Men Are
Alive.

Iron Mountain, Mich, July 1S.-[Spe
cial THE cave-in at the Pewabic mine
last evening, which imprisoned nine
miners on the first level, will undoubted-
ly result in the loss of several lives. The
work Of rescue has been SO greatly i'm
peded that even if the men were not
crushed to death with the first fall OF
ground there is little hope of finding
them alive.
The list of those entombed are as fol-

ANSE FLEMING.
The rescuing party worked steadily all
night, but slow progress was made. The
work has been greatly retared by con-
tinued caving of the ground in which the
men are working and it may be twenty
four hours yet before rescue is effected.
The crash came just as the men were
leaving the mine last night and it is
feared that they were all caught under
the falling mass of ore and timbers. Both
ends of the room in which the men are
supposed to be entombed are blocked
and this renders the work of rescue dou-
bly, difficult.
The timbers are badly twisted and
broken, and blasting is necessary to eff
feet their removal. These blasts cause
other caves and retard progress greatly.
The rescue party is in constant danger
of meeting the fate of their companions.
The men show no reluctance in volunteer
ing for the work. however, and all that
is possible is being done. The room is
plentifully supplied with air and if they
escaped the first crash may be found I'M
injured. The accident is said to have
been one of those unforeseen affairs for
which no one can be held blameabe.
This is the second accident Of this nature
that has occurred at this mine within a
year. The first imprisoned eleven men in
a room for forty eight hours. They were
rescued uninjured.
At a late hour this afternoon it was
known that some of the miners are alive
as hammering on a pipe leading into the
room in which the men are confined has
been responded to with nine raps given,
and this is accepted as evidence that the
men are altogether, but whether all es-
capped injury cannot be established. Bet
ter progress than was anticipated is now
being made by the rescuing crew and it
is the opinion that the room will be
reached in about five hours.
