CITY'S STREETS ABLAZE.
Destructive Fire In New Westminster.
II. C.-Lenves Hundreds Homeless
Several Deaths Reported.

Vancouver, b. c., Sept. 1.-THE city
of New Westminster has been visited
by a confiagration causing the loss of
millions. The fire started about mid
night from n spark from a steamer
on the water front. A fierce gale was
blowing at the time. Within three
hours all the buildings along ten
streets were blazing. Handsome
blocks, banks and churches went up in
smoke. Two newspaper offices are
gone. The Canadian Pacific railway
station, three river steamers, the rail-
way bridge. the cathedral and many
private residences are destroyed.
Hundreds of people are homeless and

vaults of the bank buildings withstood
the fire.

LIVES CRUSHED OUT.
Explosion OF Gasoline Deno"S"'
Several Buildings I'm Phiindeiphin
AT Least Four Deaths Result

Philadelphia, Sept. 12.-By the explo-
sion of 40 gallons of gasoline in the
cellar Of grocery store at l4i4 South
street Sunday, certainly four and pos
sibly n dozen or more lives were lost.
AS an immediate consequence OF the
explosion the building where it oc-
Cured and those adjoining 1t on either
side collapsed and up to ten o'clock,
four hours after the occurrence, four
bodies had been recovered from the
ruins and three of these identified as
follows: Samuel Schattenstein, keep
err of the grocery store; his 19-year-old
son, Abraham; n ten-months-old child
named Goldberg. The fourth body was
that of n girl about ten years old.
How the explosion occurred is yet
unknown. The front of 1444 was i'm
mediately blown out and this was fol-
lowed by the collapse of that struc'
ture and Nos. 1442, occupied by Morris
Goldberg's furniture store, and 1446
Louis Sallonose's shoe store. The west
wall of 1440, occupied by l.. Wanger's
clothing store, was blown out. All the
buildings were CT brick, three stories
In height.
In the confusion and excitement fol-
lowing the disaster. it is rs yet impos-
sible to secure anything like an accu'
rate census of the occupants, but 1t is
generally stated that the upper floors
were crowded with families, huddled
| together tenement fashion. Coming
as it did at the supper hour. it is feared
The less of life will be heavy. The list
of injured will be long. They were
taken to all the hospitals within q
radius of mile.
After-t the recovery of the four
bodies, the authorities decided to post,
pone the search for additional victims
until this morning, thus obviating the
dangers and delays of working upon
the mass of debris and wreckage in the
darkness.
The cor pses of Schattenstein and his
son were picked'up on the steps of No
1444. The unidentified ten-year-old
girl was found pinioned by mass o!
timbers in the rear of the same build
ing and the Goldberg child died while
being taken to hospital. The in
jured at the Howard hospital number
seven.
Estimates of the number of missing
vary from eighteen to six.
The accepted theory of the accident
is that Schatterstein went into the cell
lar with lighted lamp, which ignited
the fumes of the gasoline. From the
position of his body and that of his son
on the front steps it is thought they
were emerging from the house when
caught by the falling walls. The col
lapse of the buildings occurred within
two minutes Of the explosion, and the
occupants had little time or chance to
escape.

Do Your Laundry Work mt Home
How 10 Get the Best Results.

You should use the latest improved Cold
Water Laundry Starch for fine work.
Keith's Enamel Starch gives most beauti.
full. clear, pearl.like finish, and an elastic
stiffness that will stand any amount of bend
ing. and an enamel gloss that will stand
damp, foggy weather. Will not blotch and
will not stick to the IRON. Can be used on
black. red or other colored goods without
the faintest trace of white, and on white
goods finishes winter in color than any other
Starch. II shows every thread of the linen,
thus giving a high polish and beautiful
finish. Enamel Starch contains no ingredi-
ents which can injure any fabric. Some
think that the starch they have been using
is all right We used to think the tallow
candle gave a very good light, but after using
electric light, we wonder how we ever got
along with the candle light 1t is the same
with starches; you have used the lump and
common cold water starches and made no
complaint because you have never had the
genuine Keith's Enamel Finishing, Labor
Saving, Cold Water Starch, but after you
once get accustomed to using it you will won
der how you ever got along with the other
starches. Keiths Enamel Starch will do
more work, do it with less labor and do it
better than any other starch Ask your gro.
Ger for Keith's Enamel Starch; trial will
convince you that it is in every respect the
most perfect starch made.

FOUR WILL NOT SERVE.
Men Selected for the Commission of

to Act.

Washington, Sept. IL. = The presi-
dent has urged the following named
gentlemen among others to accept

conduct of the war:

Gen. Grenvile NJ. Dodge.
President d. C. Gilman.
Gen. Charles F. Manderson.

Gen. Schotield has declined to serve

Daniel S. Lamont. Gen. Gordon has
already informed the president his
health will not permit him to take
part in the proposed investigation.
President c. d. Gilman, of Johns Hop

accept. There is some hesitation to
accept on the part of others who have
been invited 10 serve on the commits
sion, but have intimated that they
would accept and have asked further
time to consider.
1t is not known why Gen. Schofield
has declined to serve. Ex-Secretary
Lamont is reported to have declined
for several reasons, the most i'm
portant of which is that he considers
1t a rather delicate thing to investigate
the administration of his successor,
and besides this his large business in.

great popularity of this fabric is justified by
the fact that the goods known as Simpsons
Prints are of the highest standard Of

fast and will not fade nor will the goods be-
come limp with washing and wringing, and
as the material is cheap and exceedingly
pretty, there is little wonder that many

IL Is Growers Day.

. + affairs in the Cleveland household
had been managed on a slightly
different plan, Grover Cleveland
would have come into the world on the
day of March that is set apart in all
the calendars for Ireland's patron
saint. Grover missed it by day
he was born on March is. and this is
his sixty birthday.
Mr. Cleveland was fortyfive years
old when the country first heard of
him; that was the year when an I'M
usual combination OF circumstances
gave him his election as governor of
New York by faLious majorits and
put him in line to be twice excited and
once defeated for the presidency. The
claim pressed in his behalf, when he
was a candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination, was that he had record
as a conspicuously successful reform
mayor in the city of Buffalo Aside
from that there wasn't an incident in
Cleveland's life that seemed to fit him
for exalted public station; but there
were plenty of incidents that seemed
distinctively to unfit him for the presi-
dency.
Settled down now to private life from
which he isn't at all likely to emerge,
Mr.. Cleveland, at his Princeton home
in New Jersey, wouldn't have far to
travel in order to reach Caldwell, the
town in that state which is his birth
place There his father was Presby-
terrain minister. The parsonage at
Caldwell had as its first occupant Rev.
Stephen Grover, and his name was
given to the Cleveland baby of 1887, but
Cleveland had dropped the Stephen
part before he became famous. He
has the distinction, and doubtless he
enjoys 1t, of being the only democrat
who won the presidency in the closing
forty years of this century's history.
That result is as Cleveland had
planned it. What he could do toward
weakening the democratic party he did
zealously. The democratic party sur
vived. but the end of his public service
/ found him almost friendless in the
/ democratic ranks.
