New York. The total loss will amount
to about $1,000.
The Atlantic Pants company have
their office and salesroom on the second
floor and their workshop in the rear OF
the third floor. 1t was in a pressing
room in one corner of the workshop
that the fire started. One of the tailors,
who closed up the workshop at $50,
said there was no fire in the pressing
room and nothing so far as he knows
that could have caused fire. When he
left Chief Hickey says there was fire
in the stove in the pressing room and
that in his opinion the fire was due to a
defective ilue.
When the firemen arrived on the
scene the flames We're shooting from
the windows on the third floor and 1t
was feared the Chemical company
would be unable tc cope with it. Ac-
cordingly water was turned on and thus
the greater part of the damage was
done. The actual destruction wrought
by the fire was not great.

pany on the second floor was injured
by water and the office of Highriter's s
laundry; the editorial and composing
room of the Scranton Eagle; the work
shops of j. +. kinback, furniture repair

on the second floor, We're flooded with
water. 1t also flowed it's way into the
store of c. S. WoOlworth on the first
floor and damaged his $4,000 stock to

but the loss was not so great as in the
WoolWOrth store.
All of the damage done is amply

and Seven Seriously Injured.
Charlevoix Mich, Oct. 6.--The big
hotel at Lindsay park, which was to
have been the largest summer hotel at
the northern Michigan resorts, COL
lapsed yesterday afternoon, and Is a
total wreck. 1t was all enclosed and
rooted, but the lower stories, 1t is as
serted. were not properly braced and
the fierce gale striking on the 44O feet
of side wall caused the most exposed
end to waver, and gathering momen-
tum as II fell the huge mass sank with
crash which was heard for a mile,
burying 40 workmen in mass of
broken timber and splintered boards In
a few moments hundreds of willing
hands were chopping and cutting away
the wreckage. and in q short time the
injured were being taken out and the
wounded cared for. In an hour all were
out.
Pierce Kendall, Of Charlevoix, and
Guy Hamilton, of Grand Rapids, are
dead. The seriously injured are James
Cain, c. w. McNeill Willis Silsby,
William Phels and William Wood.
F. A. Smith and A. M. Hall, specta-
tors, were quite badly injured, as was
Charles Gabriel,> the electric lighting
contractor. The money loss will be
well up In the thousands, but the build
ing will undoubtedly be rebuilt. The
accident is said to have been due to
rushing heavy work in the upper
stories before the lower partition walls

Third Street Bridge Trouble.

The Levy Court yesterday afternoon dis,
cusscd the Third street bridge trouble. A.
r. Morrison Of tho Delaware Construction
Company sent a letter, in which ho said
that many things said about the bridge
were false. One was that the centre pier
had not settled and another that the work
on the bridge was the best attainable at
the time of construction in 1889 The let
ter also stated that the motor in use on the
bridge is the second one used to turn u
bridge in the United States.
Mr.. Morrison asked the court to employ
competent engineer to go over the plans
and specifications and work on the bridge
and if any inferior work or material is
found Mr. Morrison agrees TO pay for the
investigation and repairs to the defective
parts.
The sum of $500 was set apart as an ex-
ira appropriation to build bridge at
Adams cross roads in Christiana hundred.

Probably a Fake Confession.

Philadelphia. Oct. "a man giving
the name of William Harris surren-
dered to the police Monday night with
the assertion that he was the mur-
derer of Major William c. Wilson, who
was found battered to death in his
circulating library at 1117 Walnut street
on the night of Aug. 16. He implicated
two other men and declared that rob-
berry was the motive, and that Wilson,
coming suddenly upon them, they beat
him down with a hatchet. Harris said
that Wilson'S missing watch would be
found in potato patch in New Jer-
sey, two miles below Gloucester. He
also made other statements which the
police keep secret. Detectives who went
to Jersey did not find the watch, and
1t is said that other parts of Harris
so-called confession lack corroboration
