NEWARK PLUNGED IN DARKNESS
Electric Light Plant of Jerseys Metropolis
Destroyed by Fire.

NEWARK, Dec. 80-Fire swept through
the dynamo building of the Newark Elec-
trict Light, Heat and Power company on
tho Passaic river last night, and Newark
was plunged In total darkness. All the
streets, houses and stores which depended
upon the electric power for their light
were cut off. Very few Of these were sup
piled with gus light
In the building which was destroyed
were thirty seven dynamos. Tho fire
started on tho big switchboard, from
which radiated every line of street, com.
mercial and house Lighting in the city.
Leo Camp, foreman of tho dynamo room,
was manipulating tho switchboard when
the blaze started. There was flash Of
flame and Camp jumped back, but not be.
fore the flying motion metal from the wiro
connection had spattered over him. In a
moment the lights went out and the ma
.chlncs began throwing out sparks Some
one shut off tho machinery, but tho flames
were fed by the oil soaked material within
the building and the fire spread quickly
and was soon blazing hercely.
There was great excitement during the
progress of the fire, for thousands Of peo.
pie had gathered at the scene, and the
almost complete darkness Of the Streets
outside the range Of the burning pile,
added new dangers to the people who had
gathered there. The power house was
totally destroyed, and the loss will prob
ably reach 2l75,0O0.

REMARKABLE CYCLING.
Piliug Up Many Miles in the Big
Race at Washington.
THE CONTEST A VERY CLOSE ONE.

Waller and Maddox Have Each Covered
2O1 Miles, and Five others Are Nearly
Up to Them-only Eight Men Now Lett
in the Race.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30-Waller, the Cor
man, held the advantage by two laps over
Maddox, the American, and tho close last
night Of the second day S raelng in the in
ternationnl six days, eight hours per day,
contest. Tho two men have kept almost
neck and neck during the long ride until
yesterday, when Maddox punctured his
tire and lost two laps. He made u dcsper-
ate attemptt to make up the loss sustained,
but was unable todo so. The day was re-
rleto with an example Of the survival Of
the lttest, the two weakest men dropping
by the wayslde after pedaling as long as
they could stand the terrific pace set by tho
leaders. These two were Shock and AL
bert, who threw up the sponge and left
the track 10 tho remaining eight riders,
who, with the exception Of Ball. are
punched within five miles of each other.
Shock succumbed early in the afternoon,
sore and stiff. He was ono of the men
who went down in the tumble on Mon
day and he then sustained an injury to
his legs which made riding difficult. When
ha withdrew he had 1i3 miles to- his credit
At s o'clock Albert was ten miles in tho
rear OF the other riders, and us there ap-
peared to be no hope of making up the
deficit he withdrew, having ridden 179
miles. All the msn, with tho exception Of
Ball, The local cyclist appeared at the close
of the riding last night to be in excellent
condition, except that they show some
signs of fatigue. They departed for their
quarters seemingly without any incon-
venience. Toward tho close Maddox,
Chapel and Lawson engaged in a fine
squirt that was heartily applauded by the
spectators.
Lawson, "Ihe Terrible Swede," appears
to bei in better condition than any of tho
men except, possibly Hunter, tho French
man. Lawson is riding his usual heavy
pace, which he seems able to make with
out great exertion. George Ball, the local
favorite, is riding smoothly, but besides sur
fering from cold it is evident ne is in
rather fast company Hunter had q fall
yesterday, but was not hurt, and con-
tinued to rido. General satisfaction Is ex-
pressed ut the results Of tho contest up to
this time, and the figures show that five of
the men have averaged eighteen miles or
more for each hour. The score Mt the
close for the sixteen hours ending at 10
o'clock last night was as follows:
Waller, e9l miles and 2 laps; Maddox,
29l miles; Aschinger, 2o0H; Lawson, 2S3;
Hunter 2Ss Chapel, 2a6; Foster, 2S6;
Ball. 269l9.
In the exhibition riding Eddie Bald re-
duced his quarter mile record from 33 to
20 l-5 SOC, and Tom Linton reduced his
three mile indoor record from min., 10
sec, to min, secs.
