FLAMES AMONG HATS.
Fire at Yonkers, N. Y, Destroys
Two Large Factories.
MANY THROWN OUT OF WORK.

All ofthe Employees Gotten Out Safely,
However, without Any Fatalities
Occurring-The Loss Is Nearly Half
a Million Dollars.
New York. July 2s.-Fire at Yonkers,
N. Y, yesterday afternoon, destroyed
t"o large factory buildings occupied
~ William Reed & Co.. hat manu-
facturcrs; Rowland Bros, hat manu-
facturers; Pass Bros, silk manufact-
urers. and the Yonkers Silk company.
The loss will probably reach half
million dollars, and 800 people are
thrown out of employment. There
were no casualties, though the build
ings were crowded with employees when
the fire was discovered.
The fire originated in the blowing
room of the hat factory of William
Reed & Co., on the lower floor of the
shelter building, Two large gas meters
exploded Immediately after the flames
burst forth, and the escaping gas from
the meters helped to feed the flames.
Within a few minutes the fire was
breaking through the windows of the
first and second stories. There were
900 men and girls in the building. the
third, fourth and fifth floors of which
were occupied by the silk factories
Intense excitement prevailed while the
employees left the building by>the fire
escape. the girls being taken out first
and all losing their street clothes, so
little time was given. The fire soon
ate out the heart of the building, and
then portions of the walls fell The
wind carried the flames to the build
ing occupied by Rowland Bros Lat
factory, and the interior of this etruc-
ture was destroyed.
Just across the street from the build
ing in which the fire started are the
big works of Alexander Smith & Sons,
the largest carpet manufacturers in
the United States. Two thousand per-
sons were at work in the carpet fac
tories when the fire broke out They
were dismissed and the works closed
The lowest estimate of the losses is
100000, and others run as high as
$3.50 900

No Replies In An Opsn Letter to Coy
ernor Hastinss' Challenge.
Harrisburg. July ss-Rev. DR.. silas
c. Swallow has written an open letter
to Governor Hastings in reply to his
challenge to show fraud in the bill Of
$56,6so.36 for fitting up Grace Metho-
dist Episcopal church for the use Of the
legislature after the destruction Of the
capitol.
The doctor offers to furnish the am
davits Of four responsible furniture
dealers In Philadelphia that on one
weeks notice they would have fur
nished desks for S12 that the state
paid $25 for, and others at $40 that the
state paid $3.50 for. Also the affidavtts
of steam heat experts that they would
have done the job as satisfactorily for
$4,000 as the state did 1t for $4,000.
Every intelligent man." DR.. Swal-
low adds, who has examined 1t knows
that the job throughout cost the state
three prices, and know 1t would have
cost over $4,000 If had not sounded
the alarm last February. I am amazed,
governor, that you should call the at
tention of the public to the COMPETE
tive schedule of prices under which
the church was fitted up, since it's
vicious character has been under dis
ousson by the people for at least
three months. ! commend your at
tempt to bind the legislative depart
ment of the state government to even
compulsory honesty. But do not,
pray you, neglect the executive depart
ment,"

Washington, July 2S.-The presiden-
tial party left here at noon for their
vacation on the shores of Lake Cham
plain. The chief executive desires to
obtain as far as possible complete
rest from official duties during his alb
sence, and for this reason 1t is prob
able that but few appointments will
be made during that time. 1t is stated
at the White House that all papers
sent to the president at his summer
home will be mailed to Washington
without being opened, 1t is the inten-
tion that all papers intended for him
shall go through the channel they have
heretofore followed. The president, it
Is said, will look over no papers while
he is away, and whatever appointments
are made will be announced here

Mayor Challenged to 81 Duel.

Durham. N c., July 2s.--This town
is excited over the challenging of the
mayor of the town, Moses E. MCCown,
to fight duel by Captain Joseph Fl.
Shields. Mr. McCown, who a few
months ago was elected mayor. has a
reputation for being a man who does
not run away from trouble. Yesterday
he was approached by Captain Shields.
who pulled out paper and handed it
to McCown, with the remark: Read
that, and let me have an answer,
please" The mayor found 1t to be a
challenge TO fight duel on account of
an alleged insult offered the captain by
the mayor when the latter was testi-
flying in a recent case in which the
captain was interested. Unless the
mayor accepts the challenge the cap
tain will attack lin on the street.

its labors. indctins two persons. Those
indicted were Freebooter Miller II.

deliberately violated their sworn duty

London, July 2S.-A dispatch has
been received at the colonial office
dated Fort Salisbury, South Africa
July 26, announcing that a combined
movement of the Fort Salisbury police
and the huzzars resulted in the capture
of the Mashingombis Kraal at Fort
Martin, near Hartley. on Saturday
The dispatch says the fighting con-
tinues. The British losses were one
killed and several wounded. 1t is i'm
possible to estimate the losses of the
enemy, as the country is mass of
rocks and is filled with caves. In a
previous engagement which took place
20 miles from the Mashlngombis Kraal
the huzzars lost one killed and another
wounded

Paris, July 2S.-The American heirs
of a wealthy American named William
son, who recently died here after a
residence Of quarter of a century in
France, will probably secure his prop
erty, the French courts having dis
missed tho claim of the French claim
ants, which was based upon the asser-
ton that the deceased had cohabited
with a French woman and that he was
legally married to her. According to
the laws Of certain Of the American
states such COhabitaton constitutes
marriage, even though no ceremony be
performed.
