good sketch of the song and dance or

EDELMAN ARRESTED
He Will Fight the Nickel-in-the-Slot
Ordinance

The police are in the fight in earnest,
not only for the suppression of Chinese
lotteries, but the percentage nickel-in-
the-slot machines as well. Yesterday
Henry Edelman, proprietor of the Ma
deau bar, was arrested by Detective
Hawley. He was notified several days
ago by the officers that he would have
to take the machiens out of his barroom,
but Edelman did not see it in that way,
and replied that he would like to see
them make him take them out.
Saturday night Detective Hawley de-
cided to buck the machine himself and
see how it was run. He dropped in 76
nickels. and took out just rs cents. This
was enough to convince him that it was
one-sided game, and when he went
down yesterday and found that the ma
chine was still in place he arrested Edel-
man and carried the outfit up to the
police station. He was arraigned in the
police court and will plead tomorrow.
Edelman has announced his intention of
fighting the case.

FIRE AT ELLIS ISLAND
DESTROYS THE IMMIGRANT
STATION
A Vast Amount Of Property Destroyed
and There May Have Been
Loss Of Life

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE United
States government immigration station
on Ellis island, in New York harbor, was
destroyed by fire this morning, but with
probably no loss of life. The fire was
first seen at 1890 this morning by the
lookout from the harbor police station.
The fire spread rapidly. At 1:05 a. m. the
caves along the entire roof began to fall,
setting fire to the wooden piers and docks
on either side.
At 1:12 a. M. the whole island was
mass Of flames.
AS quickly as possible two sections Of
police, twenty men, and the police patrol
launches were sent to the island.
An alarm was Immediately sent to the
lower police precincts of the city, and rs
men were ordered to the scene The fire
grew weaker. and was soon under way.
with firemen, policemen and others fight
ing it. The fire boat. Mills, was sent to
the island as quickly as she could be
made ready.
Later many persons went over in tugs
| and row boats.

| ia StdA SCu was uSC0 4O1 S4CCRlA6S COOh-
| ing and eating by the immigrants. The
detention pen, in which there are always
| considerable number of immigrants
being held for investigation, was soon
consumed Besides the buildings men,
toned there are hospital, the offices Of
the commissioners, a laundry, disin-
fecting department and great cisterns, in
which are stored large quantities of rain
| M. .u1d IT,
officials live in the smaller buildings,
| 1t is presumed at this hour that these.
with all the other buildings on the island,
will be destroyed
The valuable records are undoubtedly
destroyed. The 200 immigrants were
safely transferred from the island to the
barge office at the battery, leaving no
one on the island except the firemen and
few attendants.
The ferryboat John G. Carlisle, which
plies between the Battery and Ellis
island, arrived at 1870 o'clock this morn
ing from the island with the sick from
the hospital.
There were rs men and 46 women and
children on the boat. Twenty of the
women were sick, one of them suffering
from typhoid fever and said to be in
serious condition. With the party were
also the doctors and nurses.
The buildings consumed were simply
vast wooden shed structures, made of
the most inf1ammable material. The
main buildings was 440 by 154 feet, and
four stories high The first floor was de-
voted to the baggage room. the offices of
the inspectors. the pens of the immi-
grants and offices of the expressmen.
The second floor was occupied by immi-
grants. 1t was vast open space, d.
vided into pens by picket fences. The
third floor was gallery, from which the
crowds below could be Inspected without
coming in contact with the inspectors,
