MILWAUKEE, Wis. March 27.-Lower
Grand Avenue, where the heart OF the
wholesale and retail commerce Of the West
Side throbs. was the scene this morning
of one of the most disastrous fires in the
history of the city. Some of the leading
mercantile institutions are in ruins. The
total loss is 81 ,065000.
Before o'clock the flames had crossed
Fourth street and were heading on the Y.
NJ. q. A. building and 20 minutes later tue
two upper floors of the Library Block
were mass of fam es. About the time
the fire department. under Chief Foley's
direction, had begun Its work to save the
Library Building ana the three or four
clothing and dry goods stores it contains,
the fury of the blaze had spent itself OH
the south side of the avenue, after having
reduced the Plankinton's estate block,
occupied by Landaucr d. Co., TO ashes. 1t
was only by desperate work that the
library was saved.
The firebrands leaped ncross to the north
side of the avenue, running the art store Of
koebel & ReinhArG and two or three little
SALOONS. The Pablic Library Building at
the northwest corner of Grand avenue
and Fourth street was saved by hard work.
The loss on the building is believed to be
confined to the fourth and fifth floors, oc.
cupied by the Meyers Business College and
tlI btllldltu stSiCtNs Lht bdAAuA61 10
owned by the Haukinton estate.
At one time 1t was thought nothing
could save the structure On the fourth
floor are the rooms of the Germania
Society. In one of the rooms is the library
containing about 1000 books Water aud
smoke did great damage here.
BARELY SAVED THEIR LIVES.
The Foster Building, at the southwest
corner of Grand avenue and Fourth street,
contained IA or Is suites. all of which were
occupied by families. Many of the occu-
pants owe their lives to Luke Mccormack,
clerk in the postotiice. Passing the
building during the fiercest of the fire in
the Tanner Building, be ran upstairs and
aroused the sleepers. There was barely
time to escape before the building caught
fire.
The buildings owned by the PIankinton
estate were the large brick structure cover
ing half block, the building irl the rear,
and the Library Building ut Ihe north.
west corner of Fourth street and Grand
avenue. The estate will suffer a loss OF
about S25O,000 on the buildings. Insur-
ance estimated at so per cent, which makes
the loss to the insurance companies about
$500, 900 on the structure alone.

THE GANG PUT TO FLIGHT.

Daring and Unsuccessful Attempt to Hold
Up and Rob a Railroad Train in Ken
tucky--The Railroad Peepis Were Ready
and the ROBBERS Met Ntith a Deadly Re-
ception-Routed With Severe Loss.
Associated Press Dispatch by spsrlal Wire.
GREENWOOD, KY, March 27.-0ne OF the
most daring and at the same time most
unsuccessful attempts at train robbery oc-
CURED at $50 o. clock this morning. in the
southern portion of Ksentucky, when six
men undertook to rob Uhe southbound No.
Queen d Crescent tr;lin, which left Gin
cinnat at D. M, last night.
MET WITH HOT RECEPTION
One of the six was killed outright,
another died at A O'Clock this morning. a
third giving the name Of Miller, now lies
severely wounded. and the other three
have not yet been heard from.
The train was delayed not more than 10
minutes and reached Chattanooga at s
a. IN. to-day on time.
The reason for this summary disposal of
body OF trainsrobbers is found in the
fact that some intimation of their purpose
had been given to the railroad or express
authorities, aud that T. Il. Griffin, who
serves us q superintendent of police on the
Southern road. had with him two trusty
assistants.
OVER IN TEN MINUTES.
The train had just reached the south end
of Tunnel No. 8, which is mile north of
Greenwood, when the robbers signaled it
to stop.
They had scarcely disclosed their pur-
pose until Mr.. Griffin and his assistants on
the train began offensive operations, and
in 10 minutes three of the robbers had
bitten the dust, the other three had fed,
and the train was speeding on its way.
Not single injury was suffered by any
one on the train. OF course, the treasure iii
care OF the Adams Express Co.'s mes
senger was entirely safe.

mentioned, .
The prizes were Zoo, ESQ and $40. The
course was triangular and had to be sailed
over three times in order 10 complete the
total distance Of 30 miles. The starting
gun was fired at 1910. The starting times
were Ailsa, 100000; Britannia, l0.5o.l1
At the second mark on the first round
Ailsa was over five minutes ahead but a
iiuke of wind helped britannia consider
ably and she was only three minutes
astern of Ailsa at the end of the first
round. BY this time the wind began to
increase considerably in strength and
Aisa took in her topsail and seemed to
have carried something away.
Britannia won. The times at the finish
were; Britannia, 2.J9.04; Ailsa, 2.455I.
