A FIRE ON SPRING STREET
Lively Blaze Last Evening 10 a Phono-
graph ParIOr
The Flames Quickly Extnguished, But
Considerable Damage Done-Over-
come by Heart Failure.

While Spring street was crowded with
promenaders last evening fire broke
out in Tally's monograph parlors I'M
der the Ramona hotel, near the corner
of Third street, and for time the wild
est confusion prevailed. Alarms were
rung in from boxes 81 and II, resulting
in half dozen pieces of apparatus dash
ing up from all directions. The blaze
had not had time to make much head
way and was extinguished by members
of Park Hose with a Babcock in short
order.
Although the fire burned but short
time the destructive work of the flames
was rapid and thorough, damage to
the amount of nearly $4,000 being done.
The building itself was but little injured,
the wall paper being scorched off the
ceiling and upper walls, but Mr.. Tally
loses heavily on his apparatus.
On platform built over the main
front entrance was mounted the expen-
sive machinery of the vitascope, from
the lens of which life size moving pic
lures were thrown onto screen at the
further end of the room. A powerful arc
light was used here and it was from it
the fire originated. A spark from the
carbonS of the arc lamp fell onto a roll
of film used in the vtascope and the in
flammable material flashed up like pow
der. 1t was but a second nutil the fire
had seized on everything on the little
platform and spread down the room, car
red by a cloth chute through which the
rays of the vitascope were projected on
to the screen at the end.
When the firemen arrived short work
was made in extinguishing the flames
and although they worked with all the
care possible the interior of the store
was badly wrecked. All the vitascope
and kinetescope films We're destroyed
some twenty in all, one of which, thu
Corbett fight, was worth over $500. Mr..
Tally places his loss on films alone at
some $1,000. A lot of delicate machinery
was damaged and some of it rendered
worthless. He carries nearly enough in
surance to cover the damage.
Before the arrival of the engines a
number of citizens rushed to the assist
ance of the employees of the place to fight
the fire and some did effective work.
Frank p. Kelly. a resident of Solomon
vile, Ariz., and a Well-known railroad
man, who is stopping at the Ramona,
was one of the first at the scene. He
assisted in the work. but was overcome
by an attack of heart failure and was
carried in an unconscious condition to a
drug store near by. For nearly an hour
his condition was precarious, but with
the care of physician he recovered and
was removed to his hotel. He will be
laid up several days from he effects OF
the shock and excitement.

A SANTA MONICA DEPUTY
A Divorce Suit Where the Husband Got
Euchered
F. e. Lehman, Charged With Adultery. Held
In $500 Bonds
An Ejectment Suit Over Lands in Ra-
venna-A Guardian to be Appoint
ed for the Incompetent Riviere. -
Sent to Highland - Notes

Mrs. Sarah j. Kirk, after having lost
her husband through the brutality OF
street car conductor,is now in the courts
trying to wrest from the company So
900 as damages.
The facts in the case will not yet be
dimmed in the mind of the ordinary cltl-
zen, although Kirk met his death on the
I'd of October of last year, for the reason
that Nichols, the offending conductor,
was tried twice on the charge of murder
and in each instance the jury failed to
agree upon a verdict.
Inasmuch as the amount of damages
sued for is large the legal fight being
made is keen1y contested. There APP
pears on behalf of Mrs. Kirk, E r.. Mel
cite, Goodrich IL Gardiner and A.
G. Hinckley, and for the defendant
corporation J. M. Pope. Bicknell d
Trask and Gardiner, Harrison q Rod
man.
The facts as elected in evidence yes
terday cast no new light upon the case,
SO far as the death was concerned. MIS-.
Kirk testified. however that he had
been good and provident husband, and
earned as a printer on an average $50
10 500 per month. Since his decease his
family had been dependent upon rela-
tives.
Earnest Barnes. young fellow OF 20
years, who testified upon the trial of
Nichols for murder, gave a straightfor-
ward account of how Kirk was killed,
and despite the sharplyworded cross
examination of Mr. Trask, stood stead
fast in essential particulars.
In brief he told how he saw Kirk on
the Vernon car on the night of October
ID. and how the difficulty arose between
Nichols, the conductor of the car. and
the deceased. There were words about
the payment for Kinks dog, and when
the latter told Nichols to put it off the
car if he wished. Nichols did so, but
Nciously kicked it at the same time.
Kinks remonstrance provoked the iras-
cible conductor. and he told him to mind
his own business. one word led to an
other, and Nichols then put hands on
Kirk and showed him through he car
onto the platform. Naturally Kirk was
not perfectly quiescent and Nichols
called the motorman to his assistance,
but the latter refrained from doing so.
Kirk kept telling Nichols if he would
only leave him alone he would get off
like a gentleman" The conductor
showed Kirk from off the platform of the
car to the step. and he put out his hand
to grasp the upright, but missed it. AS
he fell back Nichols delivered the fatal
ing the hard macadamized pavement
at Washington street with his head.
The plaintiff put in all of her testi-
mony yesterday and this morning the
defendant will open its case.

LOTHARIO LEHMAN,

BONDS DISSOLVED.
Martha Porta Obtains Her Divorce
From Angelo for Cruelty

1t Is rather hard luck when man goes
into court making very unlSind reflec-
tions upon the character of his wife, as
the basis for a divorce suit, and then to
have the wife win out on a cross-com
plant.
That is what occurred yesterday, how.
ever, in department three. Angelo Por-
ia filed his suit asking to have his matri-
monial bonds loosed in the general
grounds that his wife Martha was no
good. He accused her of being intoxi-
Gated half the time and alleged that she
would retire to the sanctity of an inner
chamber and. with the companionship
only of demijohn of wine or flask of
strong waters, would have hilarious
old time all by herself.
But every story is good one until the
other side is heard from. Martha Porta.

BLAINE ON sIL YER.

s'On The much sexed and long.mooted
question as to bimetsllic and mono-met-
allie standard my own views are suffi-
GENTLY indicated in the remarks have
made. / believe the struggle now going
on in this country and in other countries
for single gold STANDARD would, If sue
cessfuI. produce widespread disaster in
and throughout the world. The destruc-
ton OF silver as money and establishing
gold as the sole unit OF value must have
a ruinous effect on all forms Of property
except those investments which yield a
fixed return in money. Those would be
enormously enhanced in value and would
gain disproportionate and Unfair advan-
tsge over every other species Of property.
II, as the most reliable statistics affirm,
there are nearly 1900 ,o00, 600 Of coin or
bullion in the world, very equally divid-
Ell between gold and silver, 1t is impos-
sib!s TO strike out OF existence silver as
money without results which will prove
distressing to millions and utterly disas-
trous to tens Of thousands.
II believe gold and silver coin to be
the money Of the constitution, indeed
the money Of the American people anter-
Tor 70 the constitution, which the great
organic Law recognized as quite independ-
emit Of its own existence. No power was
ever conferred on Congress- to declare that
either metal should not be money. Con-
Tfess has. therefore, in my judgment no
power to demonetixe either. II, therefore,
silver has been demonetised, am in
favor Of remonetizing 1t. II its coinage
has been prohibited, ! am in favor Of or
dering il to be resumed; I am in favor Of
having it enlarged. James G. Blaine,
