WORK ON THE HOTEL RUINS.
Little Progress Made and No Bodies
Found-Latest List of the Missing.

New York. March 20.-In a drizzlinS
rain more than 200 men continued yes
terday to work among the debris and
s;nouldering ruins of the Windsor hotel
searching for the bodies of those who
persisted in the flames and to recover
any valuables that might have escaped
the raVages of the fire. The efforts of
the searchers were futile, however, as
the ruins were too hot to permit much
progress, and the smoke arising from
the burning material was rendered more
dense by the dampness of the atmos
phere. Good progress was made with
the work of leveling threatening walls
and chimneys and making the ruins safe
from that quarter. There are many
thousand dollars worth of jewelry in
the ruins. One guest had $4,000 in dia-
mond jewelry i'll a small safe in his
room and it went down in the crash.
a summary of the losses of life and
property in the fire is as follows: Dead,

then, but he did better. Shugart made a
bad throw to second, and Stafford scored,

freshments, but Not for Sleep
Cycling Notes.
Mrs. James McIlrath, of 40 Bucking-
ham, yesterday finished a quintuple CEN
tury. or, in other words, completed 500
miles awheel in ffty-eight and a half
consecutive hours. Mrs. McIlrath now
enjoys the distinction of being the only
woman in the United States to ride
qui1tuple century, and will undoubt-
edly receive a special medal from the
Century Road club, under: whose rules
the ride was made.
Mrs McIlrath started out Friday morn
Ing at a. m, and rode the entire dis
tance over the Minnetonka and Fort
Smelling course. Saturday evening she
had partially finished 400 miles, and was
joined by large party of Century Road
club members, who accompanied her on
another trip to Minnetonka by moon
light. She made two trips to Minnetonka
Yesterday, completing the 500 last even
ing at $50.
Yesterday was great day for Century
riders. The party that left Rice park
Saturday evening at 7:30 for Minnetonka
after lunching at Weller's restaurant, on
Wabasha street, resumed the ride by
moonlight, and another trip to Minne-
tonka completed the century, but half
dozen members Of the club accompanied
Mrs. McIlrath on her two other trips to
the lake, making double centuries
Mrs. McIlrath was the recipient of
many congratulations from her friends
in the club. 1t was generally known that
she would probably be successful in com
pleting quadruple century. Saturday
night she had but fifty miles more to
finish ha
however, she refused to leave the road
and made 1t an even 800 miles, after being
awheel thirty-six hours without sleep.
President A. L. Mace, of the Century
Road club, was a caller at Mrs Nc
llrath's home last evening with many
other c. r. c.. members, who called to
extend their congratulations for her pluck
and energy. Mrs. McIlrath's feat at,
tracted a great deal of attention and ad-
miration, as she has established q record
that heretofore mas had no place on the
records of the c. r. c.
When Mrs. Mcllrath left her wheel last
evening she was quite tired and worn
out, but received her friends and eX-
hibited no nervousness usually incident
to the strain of long bicycle rides She
expressed herself we'll pleased that she
had been able to successfully complete
the 500 miles.
This is not the first time that Mrs.
Mcllratn mas won distinction for her
feats of long distance riding. But short
time ago she accomplished triple cen.
tury and has upwards of fifteen bars on
her century chain. A year ago she rode
double century, and rides single CEN
turtles in company with her husband,
James McIlrath, local centurion, quite
frequently.
The manual Of the Century Road club
does not indicate that "quint" century
has ever been ridden by any one under
the rules Of the organization. The club
rules places limit upon single. double.

GAVE GEAR A GOOD TIME.
minneapolis Sent the Blue TwirIer
to the Bench in Five Innings.

Minneapolis had a chance at Gear at
Minnehaha park yesterday and gave him
and the Kansas City team a touch of
high life. Gear lasted five innings, dur
ing which time he was hit for nine safe
ones, although some of these would have
been out on good grounds. The infield
was so rough that the fielders were al
most unable to judge the course of a
ground ball. Minneapolis made one run
in the first inning, two more in the sec
ond. In the fifth they fell upon Gear
for six runs, and after the inning was
over Manning sent Gear to the stable.
and brought out a twirler by the name
of Strickland. The latter pitched good
ball. allowing but four hits and one run
for the next four innings. But it was too
late to do any good
Harley Parker was in good form and
kept his hits we'll scattered. He was eff
fective usually when men We're on bases,
and four runs, only one of which was

with him. Parker also fell upon the ball
for two safe hits.
The fielding was of a loose description
on both sides, owing to the poor condi-
ton of the field. Score:

How Geier could interfere with any one

CHICAGO, June 25-'Dutch" Nean
the st. Louis pugilist who fell uncOu-
scious in the ring last Wednesday in the
sixth round of glove contest with Harry
Peppers, the California middleweight
died today without having regained con-
sciousness. Nealrs death is attributed to
a blood clot on the brain, resulting from
over-eXertion while in unfit physical
condition. Peppers was arrested as soon
as it became apparent that Nealls con-
dition was serious. and is now in jail in
default of $4,000 bonds.
Neall was we'll known in pugilistic cir
cfes. Among his important battles was
a Knockout of Billy Smith several years
ago. He was defeated two months ago by
Tommy Ryan. Police officials said today
that no further arrests would be made in
the case for the present at least.
