One fireman was killed, nine other

The fire broke out at o'clock In the
five-story brick building at Broadway
and Franklin avenue, occupied by the
lay goods firm of Penny X Gentles.
-'thhl in Il few minutes eioped the en-
tire structure. Sparks and brands were
blown in every direction by n strong
northwest wind, and the destruction of
adjoining property was threatened. A
general alarm was turned in and soon
every engine in the city was ut the
scene or on the way there.
ON the south of Penny x Gentles' the
flames communicated with the build
ings occupied by Schaper Brothers, dry
goods, and the Famous dry goods store.
1t was not long before the upper

We're numerous. When the walls of
Deere Brothers 8 and lO-cent store col

tiremen We're covered by the debris. and
it was several hours before they could
be taken out.

crushed to death and several injured.
John Judge, foreman of No. II, was
wedged in with debris. Across his feet
lay the body of Mappes. but with Il
cool head he directed the efforts of his
comrades in their work of rescue.

taken to the hospital in an ambulance,
where several others of the injured had
been removed.
From Broadway the flames ate their
way through to n number of three and
four-story structures occupied by num-
erous firms in various lines of business.
These We're soon on fire from top to

Advantages In smokeless Powder.

Cape Town, Feb. 5.-One principle
competent military observers deduct
from our assaults on the Bocr position
is that with modern magazine rifles
using smokeless powder, the defense is
ten to one rs compared with the attack,
while formerly the rule was three to
one. The results at Mafeking and Kim
berley are evidences of this principle,
equally with British experience at Ma
gersfontein.
A wonderful change is taking place
in the army. The British are grasping
the new conditions of warfare. Our
scouts, mounted infantry, Remington
guides, Littlc's corps of Australians
md New Zealanders, are quite able now
to cope with the Beers. Our infantry,
when moving into action, now instinct
lively seek cover.

Important win Case Decided.

The United States Supreme Court yester-
day finally decided the contention over the
terms of the will of the late Thomas w
Means of Ashland, KY. Mr. Means left an
estate valued at s75o,o10 but before his
death he advanced $4,000 to assist his son,
VIM. Means. who was then president of
bank in Cincinnati, which had failed. Mr.
Means had specifically provided in his Will
that advances made by him to his children
during his life should be Regarded as gifts
and not to be accounted for by the recip-
tents. The court held that this provision
covered the advance made to VIM Means
Justices Harlan, Gray, Brown and White
dissented from this opinion. The same de-
cision was once before affirmed by a di-
vided court in this case. The opinion was
delivered by Justice Brewer.

DEATH TO
THE HORSE
Carriages in Collision on
Birkbeck Street.
Valuable Animal Owned by
liveryman Fisher Killed in
an Accident Near the
Feed Mill.

Shortly after 10 o'clock last evening a
horse owned by Liveryman John Fisher
was killed near the Davis feed mill.
Mr.. Fishers driver, Elmer Snyder,
was on his way to Sandy Run. He was
in a carriage and driving two horses
After passing the mill he heard another
double team coming in the opposite
direction.
The team was driven and owned by
A. b. Smith, of Walnut street. He was
returning home after carrying party
from the Honeyhole.
1t has not yet been settled who was to
blame, but for some reason one of the
drivers did not leave sufficient space for
the other carriage to pass, and the ami
mails met squarely face to face.
The pole of Smiths vehicle crashed
into the breast of one of Fishers horses,
inflicting a wound nearly a foot deep
The animal Immediately fell over on its
side and in few minutes bcd to death.
Both men claim to be innocent of any
intention to do wrong and each allege
that the other is to blame for the
accident.
Measurements OF the road were taken
and the tracks of the vehicle traced
after the affair.
