BURNED UP A BARN.
Timely Fire Service Saves Loss In the
Business District.

Timely Fire Service Saves Los In the
Business District.
Fire destroyed o barn in the alley
between Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets aud in the rear Of Stewards
furnishing goods store at $50 last
night. The flames were discovered
by T. P. Latin, who was passing
along Seventeenth and an alarm
from box 80 on Market square
brought out the fire department, and
the promptness and efficiency Of
whose service confined the flames to
the burning building. and thus
averted what might otherwise have
been a disastrous confiagra,ion in
the thickly built up business district.
The barn was owned by Thomas
Plummer, OF San Jose. Cal, and Was
rented by DR.. j. W. Stewart for the
teams and wagons Of his hard ware
store, but all we're rescued. The
loss to the owner Of the building is
not over $3.50, and DR.. Stewards loss
in grain, e'c., t25.
The fire gained alarming Roadway
from the start, and but for the
prompt work of the firehen would
soon have been beyond control
and the paid department demoa-
strated its usefulness again. One
such act is sufficient to show how es-
seutisl it is to the city, il it gets not
another call in the year.
1t develops today that the building
caught fire very likely from ashes be-
ing deposited close 20 the west side OF
it. One of DR.. Stewards men put lire
out there recently that caught from
that source.

The Ohio secretary OF state, who by
virtue OF his Office Is supervisor OF cleo
lions. decides that MoKlnley's plurality
in that state Is $500. There was but
one name on the Populfst electoral ticket,
that OF Barr, and Barr tried TO got his
name of. He was too late, however,
and his name remained on the ballot.
The secretary OF state decides that
votes cast for Barr cannot be counted
for Bryan. for that would make twenty
four electors voted for In that interest
and the state Is entitled IN but twenty
three. Since Mckinley gets the whole
electoral vote OF the state the point Is
not material al this time except to those
who bet that Mckinley would carry The
by $4,000 and to those who bet that he
would not carry It by so much.
As soon rs tc decision was announced
a great deal OF money was handed over
TO the men who took the Mckinley end
OF the bets.
