THE POWER HOUSE FIRE.
Partial Destruction of the United
States Electric Plant


Shortly after midnight last night fire
broke out in the building of the United
States Electric Lighting Company at
Fourteenth and B Streets northwest and
did about $1,000 worth of damage. The
flames, which shot high into the heavens,
could be seen in all parts of the city and
attracted large crowd. Some OF the resi-
dents of that section of the city were
frightened and hastily made preparations
to save their property should the fire
spread to adjoining houses, which it did
Tot, owing to the excellent work of the
fire department under the direction of
Chief Paris.
The fire was caused by the accidental up
setting of lamp on some oil-soaked wood
in the rear of the burned building. AS
there was much infammable material in
the immediate vicinity to feed the flames
il was but a second when the entire struct-
ure was threatened.
The books and valuable papers, includ-
ing considerable cash, were saved by sew
eral clerks who were in the building at
work when the fire was discovered A
quantity of wires, cables, and other mate
rial stored in the upper part of the build
ing is ruined. None of the circuits sup
piled by the company were cut off save
that which supplies the Washington
Mount Vernon and Alexandria Electric
Railway. And this was only temporary
and was not noticed because the cars had
stopped running. Policemen Galway. Ri
ley, and Mellen were early on the scene
and rendered effective service.

The Great Falls Cycle Path project re-
ceived a very substantial impetus yesterday
as result of the excursion to Marshall Hall
given under the auspices of the Good Roads
Committee of the L. A. W., which has
charge of the work of raising funds for the
construction of the path. Hundreds of L. A.
W. members, together with their friends
visited the resort down the river during the
day and their contributions to the cause
amounted to fully as much as the promo
ters of the excursion had anticipated. 1t
is not known how much money was secured
and it will be two or three days before the
exact amount can be determined. The num-
ber of tickets taken at the boat does not by
any means represent the whole number sold
and it will not be definitely known until
the members of the committee who had
charge of selling tickets have rendered
their reports.
Clarence Corson, who had charge OF the
excursion stated this morning that hun
dreds of tickets were sold to wheelmen VINO
did not avail themselves of their use.

the excursion will be made at the next

evening were beautiful and the propitious
weather, together with the excellent ar

by all who were interested in that pastime,
and Messrs. Baker and Howard gave ex-

which were enthusiastically applauded. 1t
/ is probable that If further funds are needed
for the cycle path that another excursion
will be given before the close of the sea-
son.
A large number of the local L. A. W.
members are arranging for the trip to Bos-
ton to attend the annual meet of the or
ganization to be held on the 14th and 18th
