CHUNKS OF FIRE.
They Fell All Over the CITY of Colorado
spr ngs.

Colorado Springs, Col. October Is
This city had visitation OF lire TINS
afternoon which threatened for TOUR
hours to destroy the entire business dls-
trict. The wind was blowing at the rate
of As miles an hour from the southwest
when the fire started at the Denver and
| Rio Grande freight depot at the foot OF
the flames spread with great rapidity.
A strip four blocks long from north to
south and two blocks wide from east to
west, has been burned over, but at this
hour s p. m, the confiagration is be-
| lieved to be under control. The flames
are still leaping high in the air all over
the burning district, but tbs wind has
died down and there is no doubt that the
fire engines which have come from Den
yer and Pueblo in response to appeal for
aid, will BIZ able to oontine the flames
within the present limits.
The Antlers hotel, one of the biggest in
the west. the lumber yards and two blocks
of business houses have been destroyed.
The loss is estimated at 81 900, 900, insured
for half that amount. The losses are as
follows: &l
Antlers hotel, $3.50, 600; Newton Lum-
Der company. 100000; Crissey 8 Fowler
Lumber company, $50, 900; Ell Pasco Lum-
Der company, $4,000; Irving & Sons,
blaoksmiths, $4,000; Denver & Rio
Grande railway, o.oOo; Gulf Depot
s5, 900; Home hotel, So, 500.
The general losses of business firms and
| individuals not enumerated above are
S465, 900.
The fire started in a pile of rubbish
underneath the platform at the Denver
and Rio Grande freight depot. Within
! five minutes it had communicated to
freight cars standing at the depot and it
spread so rapidly that it was impossible
| to move any of the cars Half car of
powder consigned to g. S. Barnes & Sons
exploded. The cans were thrown for
hundreds of feet and the wonder is that
nobody was injured.
| Then came the terrible danger to the
city. Great chunks of fire were scattered
about and in few minutes the Crissey &
Fowler lumber yards, 500 feet away, were
burning. The wind was blowing a hurri-
cane. The flames rushed through the
lum Der yards and burned all the light
frame buildings in the block. Then they
| leaped across the street and burned out
the ri Paso Lumber company and the
paint establishment of Sperry & Tucker
few minutes after the Newton Lum-
| Der yards caught. For time after this,
| it looked 8 If the Antlers hotel might be
saved but the heat was too great. There
was not water enough to send stream
half way up the building. At four O'Clock
it was burning on the south end and the
| hotel was doomed.

t'Icouldnotsleepat night, had to- walk

side and small of my back. Was trou-
bled with bloating, and at times would
faint away; had a terrible pain in my

time and would vomit; butnow, thanks
to Mrs. Pinkham and her Vegetable

Washington, October Next Tuesday
there will glide off the ways at the yards
of the Newport News Shipping company
the biggest. most powerful and probably
the most effective battleshir in the United
States navy. This will be the Illinois.
Larger by thousand tons than the Ore
gon. larger than the Iowa, now the big
gest battleship in the SERVICE the Illinois
still SO designed that she win be able to
enter any harbors open to the smaller
battleships, while in matter of speed she
will rank with any of them. The most
striking difference between the Illinois
and the battleships now in service, Is the
nigh freeboard Of the former. which,
while making her bigger target, enables
her to fight her guns from their great
elevation above the water in seas SO heavy
that the guns Of the lower vessels woula
be submerged and useless. Splendid sea
going powers are also expected to result
from this increased freeboard.

ball game of the season this afternoon
with the Campello Athletic club of Brock.
ton, Mass The score, % to 0, in Bow
doin's favor indicates an easy victory.
This, however, was not gained SO much
on account of Bowdoin's good playing
but rather on account of the weakness of
her opponents. The play was quite fast
on both sides. Bowdoin did some fun
bling, which, although it did not cost
much in yards lost, nevertheless shows
that great deal of hard practice must be
had if Bowdoin expects to win IN the in
tercollegiate games that come later in the
season.
