Richie had adopted the unit rult
and cast her % votes for Smith.
Tyler then cast I5% votes for
Smith and S1a for Harmer. 1t was
apparent that if Harrison county
divided her vote as she had already
decided to do, Smith would have a
majority. So the wire-puller from
Doddridge. who tried to interfere
with the Richie delegates, came
TO the rescue and mad Harrison to
adopt the Unit rule, and her s.
votes were announced for Iarmer,
which was enough to nominate.
Everything was in an uproar in
an instant. Pandemonium reigned
supreme. Cries OF fraud and
bribery were heard OH all
sides. All the delegates rose to
their feet and started to the front.
Perhaps forty people wanted rec
ognition at the same time. Some
one asked if this was a democratic
convention.
A delegate from Harrison chal-
lenged the vote Of that county.
Another yelled out that Harrison
county had cast Fl votes for Har-
mer and ; for Smith. Then some
one challenged the vote of Richie
and things were getting interest,
ing.
At this juncture, after consider
able effort, Harmer was recognized
by the chair, and in a speech Of
some length Withdrew and moved
to make the nomination Of Smith
by reclamation, which was done.
Some one from Tyler told Harmer
he looked like Goff, which almost
knocked him down.
Smith then came forward aud
thanked the convention for the
honor and said he would vote for
Golf. The show was then declared
ended. West Union Record.

TO ROW YALE.
Cornell Will Take Part in Tri-
angular Race.
The New London Course Accepted-cor-
nell to Meet Pennsylvania and
Columbia Later.

Ithaca, N. Y, Feb. 17,-Coach Court
ney, of the Cornell varsity crew, to-
night received the following telegram
from Prof. Benjamin Ide Wheeler
who, together with Capt. Golson, is in
New York, representing Cornell in the
conference with representatives of Yale
Harvard, Pennsylvania and Columbia
University crews, relative to the inter
collegiate races the coming spring
Cornell will row Harvard and Yale
in triangular race, June % or "A, at
New London. Will also row Pennsyl-
vania and Columbia, either at Saratoga
or Poughkeepsie, July /.
The coach was delighted, and read the
telegram to his oarsmen. The Cornell
athletes are entirely satisfied as to the
result Of the negotiations. Coach Court
ney said;
II am glad that matters have resulted
as they have. Prof Wheeler states
that everything was arranged salts
factorily, and now we will prepare to do
all we can to win again this year.
"The result of the negotiations, how
ever, places Cornell in an even more en-
barrassing position than last year. from
the fact that she will have two races,
not on the same waters, as at Pough-
keepsie, but a long distance apart The
extra expense of transferring the crews
and the unpleasantnesss of keeping the
men training until July will again
have to be endured."N

NOTES OF THE FIRE.

All that saved the horticultural So
ciety's building was a heavy wall, which
had recently been erected. There was
some damage by water in this building.
r. c. Taylor estimates his loss on the
building at $25OOO. The insurance is
$4,000, with the Tatman & Park agency.
George e. Fairbanks says he carried
about $4,000 stock on which he has
$4,000 insurance.
r G. Taylor, when asked whether he
had any intentions of rebuilding the
place for theatrical purposes. said he
had not yet made up his mind 1t is
well known that elaborate alterations
had been contemplated during the cor
ing summer, and possibly the destruc-
ton of the block this morning will give
to Worcester the sort of a house for
vaudeville that the Bijou performances
have deserved.
All of the actors playing al the Bijou
this week have lost all their stage cloth
ing. Although the fire did not reach
the rear of the building until some time
after it was discovered, there was no
means of reaching the dressing rooms,
and the trunks full of wardrobes and
all are now in ashes

smoke. which now filled the room to a
box which contained between $500 and
$500, while Mrs. Offner caught up her
private purse containing $148, and both
started for the window
The couple occupied a suite of three
rooms on the third floor, and it was
the centre one which was occupied as
a sleeping room. The windows from
this are large and heavy, and when
Mr. Offner tried to raise one, he found
it impossible. He laid his money on a
chest close by, and tried with both
hands, but with no success.
He then broke the glass and as the
smoke was very dense and flame had
already made it's way into the room,
there was no time to secure money, but
both tried to get outside as quickly as
possible. All this money, besides an
other box, containing how much he did
not know, were left behind
The couple owned and We're much at

which they have owned for four years,
and Mrs, Offner, after her arrival at
the Bay State House. was much con-
cerned about its safety The dog I'M
doubtedly was suffocated or was burned
to death
The others had recently fitted up
their apartments with new furniture.
and the wardrobe of each was extensive.
Everything was lost, and they are with
out anything. Friends were sent for
and brought clothing to each, and Mr..
Offner dressed and went out on to the
street looking out for his interests at
the burning building and telegraphing
to interested people in the house.

Some OF the chemical companies were

busy covering the stock in the stores
Less than ten minutes before the fire
was discovered, Sergt. McMurray
passed the building on his way down
Front street and noticed nothing out
Of the ordinary officer George w. De-
laney said when he passed the build
ing a few minutes before the alarm was
sounded, everything appeared as usual.
When he passed the corner of Main and
Front a few minutes later, he noticed
the odor of smoke.
He went into the Harrington build
ing, but could find nothing there. He
continued his search through the Walk
er building. and passed around to the
rear. AS he came out of the alley, lead
ing from Front to Mechanic street, he
noticed the cloud of smoke issuing from
the theater entrance He shouted at the
top of his voice, and rushed UP the
stairs to the theater, with the idea in
view of awakening Mr.. and Mrs. Offner.
As he reached the top of the stairs,

| action in this line. and gave his atten-
ton to helping at the front of the

PROGRESS OF THE FIRE.
How the Firemen Fought the Flerc,
Flames.

The. alarm was rung in at ESQ a. m.
by c. W. Aldrich, night clerk in Mellor's
drug store. He was standing in the
front of the store looking down Front
street, when he heard some one shout
and saw cloud of smoke as though
from an explosion issue from the door
He ran to the nearest fire alarm box at
city hall corner, and without looking
for a harder substance smashed the
glass with his fist, cutting his hand
badly. A moment later Fred Jones, the
hickman, laboring under the excitement
of the moment. pulled the lever down
again
On the arrival of the fire depart
ment, Chief Vaughn was Quick to take
in the situation, and ordered a second
alarm turned, followed by third. call

OLD THEATRE BUILDING.
A Hasty Sketch Of an Old Building With
a History.

The Bijou Theatre was just coming in
to popularity again When Worcester
was many thousands smaller than now
the old theatre was the only one in
| town. In those days the best actors on
! the road visited Worcester for the city
then as now, was known as good show
town. Edwin Booth and a host of others
of a score or more years ago have trod
the boards there.
| Then about 1868 it was discontinued as
playhouse Finally, after 20 years,
the footlights shone again, and the
| house again assumed an active bust
ness. But it was known as the Front
/ Street Musee, and under the manage
ment of the late Billy Arnold was run
as sort of popular priced comic opera
house, Milton Aborn and other favorites
| of that class holding the boards for
weeks at a time,
Gradually but surely the house drifted
from the legitimate into a place for
burlesque shows. and until Manager
Offner took hold of it last fall, it had
borne rather unsaYory reputation for
four or five years. When the Y p. S.
c. E. caused one manager there to- be
arrested the burlesque companies soon
lost their hold, and year ago at this
Tune IL vas Delng conducted on losing
basis.
During the summer months it chang
ed hands, and Manager j. E. Offner
took hold of the place. He had sue
ceeded in building up the name of the
house, and in furnishing to Worcester
people what they had so long desired,
namely, good, clean vaudeville. Since
that time such stars as tombstone Ben
nett Clara Morris, Florrie West, Lau-
renee Barrymore, Pauline Hall and
others have appeared before the Bijou
audiences.
The headliners for the present week
were Dixon, Bowers and Dixon whose
eccentric dancing and funny acts have
been making so great hit. The two
Luciers Rosie and Fred, Gertie Cochran,
the child wonder; VIII Kilroy and Mae
Britton, thinner a clown juggler, and
Frank ]. Shea, a banjo virtuoso, were
the bill for the current week, With the
biograph as an additional attraction.

UNDER CONTROL.
The Fire Viii Be Confined to the Theatre
Building.


At half-past 4 o'clock the fire is we'll
under control, but 1t is yet far from be-
ing extinguished. Volumes Of dense
black smoke laden with particlesAof car
bon and glowing embers are flying up
in a spiral from the middle of the build
ing. The fire is now mostly in the rear
portion having evidently worked its way
back from the front where it started
The blocks on either side are safe, and
little damage has been done to them
aside from the water.
No less than IL streams are pouring
in upon the flames, reaching the gradu-
ally subsiding furnace from all four
sides. On Front street six streams
are directed into the third story win
dows. In the alley between the E, L.
Smith store and Joe Kennedy's is an
other stream while from the top of the
Walker building three more lines of
hose pour their gallons of water into
the rear part Of the building. Two more
from the top of Kennedy's hotel COM
plete the dozen.
The street is in utter darkness, Super
intendent Coug,hlin having ordered the
electric lights to be cut off, thus facil-
itating the firemen in their work This
was done at $50 q. m.
The total loss will be about SIS, 900, of
which it is roughly estimated $25, 900
will be on building, $4,000 on Fair
banks stock, $4,000 on Browns stock
| and $4,000 on the theater and ward
robes etc

TWO WORCESTER VICTIMS.
An ex-TeIegraph Messenger and Well
known Barber,

According to latest adviees, 1t seems
that there were two sailors on board
the Maine who are well known in this
city, where they lived at one time. The
Spy Of Thursday morning gave the
name of one of the men who was num-
bered among the injured as Joseph H.
Kane, Worcester, Mass, but the news
came so late that 1t was impossible to
locate him in time for yesterdays edi-
ton. There was time for this yester-
day. and it has been found out that he
was born in this city and lived for many
years with his sisters in the little cot
tage in the rear of the McConville drug
store at Trumbun square. He was en-
ployed as a messenger boy by the West
ern Union Telegraph Company for some
time, but about ten years ago he left
the city and enlisted in the United
States navy shipping on the Kearsarge.
He was on board that ship when she
went down on the Florida reefs and
soon after that accident he came to this
city to renew old acquaintances{ The
last time he was in the city was two
years ago, and he then returned to the
navy, since which time little has been
heard from him, as he has no near rel
atives in this city, both his parents be-
ing dead, and his only living sister be-
ing married to a man named Bowler in
Boston.
While nothing definite is known about
the other sailor referred to- 1t is sup
posed that the Gustaf Dressler, who was
the unfortunate man who had both his
eyes blown out, is doc" DRESSER, who
used to work here for George E, Miller,
the barber. His first name is Gustaf,
and he was a native of Germany, which
Is given in the dispatches as the birth~
place of the injured man. He was Of a
rowing disposition, and was a great
story teller, as the members of the
Light Infantry, when that company
! was in command of Capt. Edward A
| Harris, will remember He was very
| frequent visitor at the armory of the
! company, and used to entertain the
members for hours at time with his
| sleight-of-hand tricks and his stories
which could rival those of Baron Mum
| chausen. 1t was he who rescued Mr.
Miller's black cat the night of the Kin
nicutt block fire. He came very near
| being arrested at that time for his fool
hardness He left Mr. Miller's employ
couple of years ago and went to
Brooklyn, where it is supposed he
Joined the navy, as.he had had some ex-
perience as a stoker having shoveled
coal for his passage across the Atlantic
from England. He frequently said he
would like to follow the sea, although
he was a good barber.

HACK SMASHED.
Vehicle Driven by F. l., Jones
Run Into by Fair Ground
Electric.
One Of the Horses Was Badly Used Up
Motorman Claims He Was Unable to
Hold His Car.


A hack driven by Fred L, Jones was
run into by a fair ground electric on
Pleasant street opposite High, about
11.3O o'clock Thursday night The hack
was demolished and one Of the horses
badly used up.
Both hack and car were headed down
Pleasant street. The motorman claims
he rung his gong repeatedly, but was
unable ITO hold his car. The. driver says
he heard the gong strike twice, and
started to pull out to the side of the
road; but before he could do so, the car
struck the back of his carriage.
One of the horses was thrown and
dragged a considerable distance along
the pavement. The driver was thrown
from his seat, and mixed up in the
wreck, but escaped partially stunned,
with a few bruises. The hack is a COM
plete wreck, and the horse is in such
bad shape that it was with difficulty
that the animal could be lead to the
stable.
The driver had left a passenger, but
few moments before; and fortunate
" there was no one in the vehicle, or
a fatality might have resulted.
Some idea of the force with which the
car struck can be judged from the
fact that the iron dashboard of the car
was smashed in by the collision.
