ANOTHER REPORT.

Jerome, Ariz.. July 14.-(SpeciaI)- Tonight at Prescott at 11:3O o'clock. fire broke out in whisky row." a line of wooden structures, and quickly spread through the business section of the city. The city government has just been en- gagged in putting in a new water works system and was wholly unprepared to fight, the blaze. Ttk :. SN1ths no opposition the fire -- spread through the business district in a. twinkling and at this hour Q.30 oclock) is threatening a large part of the resi- dence portion of the town, with no pos sibility of checking it. Dynamite was used to blow up many buildings. in an effort to check the progress of the fire, but served no other purpose than to spread the conf1agration and make< fiercer the blaze. So far as knowh there has been no, loss of life, although there were many very narrow escapes.
 Bremen and volunteers worked like Trojans to stay the confiagration, but their labor availed little and they were able to do nothing but save a small
 part of the contents of a few stores and residences. Among the business houses destroyed were the Brisley com- pany, Bashford & Burmister, Prescott National bank, Bank of Arizona, Kelly ! & Stevens, stationery. Jake Marks,
 wholesale liquor dealer; Joe Wilson, clothier: Ed Block, clothier: Owl sa- loon, Comet saloon, Cobweb saloon, Hotel Windsor. Brinkmier hotel. Grand View hotel, Burke hotel, Prescott Courier and Prescott Journal Miner, l besides large number of frame dwell ings and small business concerns. Con- ! servative estimates place the total loss 1 at $5O0,0OO, with little insurance.
 | The train from Prescott arrived here
 on time at 2 o'clock this morning. Pas
 sengers who came down said that heavy, but fitful wind, was blowing
 there all day yesterday, the general di- | rection being from the north. It must
 have changed toward evening, as from
 reports, the course of the fire was from
 south to north or northeast. The West ern Union office was located in the | Burke hotel, one of the buildings
 burned. and it was vacated immediate
 ly after the sending of the first message | to the Associated Press.
 | A later dispatch from Jerome by tel
 ephone gives further particulars, which. 1 if reliable, indicate that East Gurley
 street has been swept.
 Efforts were made to get word over
 the railroad wire. Tut failed, possibly
 for the reason that the fire was sweep | ing in the direction of the depot and
 yards and more important matters
 were demanding attention.

SAFE THROUGH RAPIDS.
Peter Nisscn Makes a Successful Foy-
age in His Strong Craft.

NIAGARA FALLS, \. y. July 9.-Peter
Niseen. of Chicago, or Mr. Bowser, as he
STYLES himself, went through the whirl-
pool rapids of the Niagara River this af-
terroon in the presence OF about ten thou
sand persons IN his craft, The Fool
Killer" The boat WIS towed to rock
about a mile above the rapids and secured
The point was not difficult to reach by
officials from either the American or
Canadian shores who might have been
disposed to interfere with the muCh-ad-
vert!sed adventure.
Shortly after o'clock Mr. Bowser WINS
seen in his boat. y little later James Lab
lander pulled up in u row-boat and lowed
the Fool Killer" with Bowscr aboard
into the current. At 3:47 the start down
stream was actually commenced, but the
tickle eddies kept the Fool Killer drift
ing about until f:Jp. when she got into
the whirlpool current and started for the
final plunge.
Passing under the Cantilever Bridge. the
boat took on the speed of an express train.
Bowser threw his oar far from him. and
waved his cap The crowd saw the craft
rise on the crast of a smooth wave and
then dive into the Ieaping spray and disap-
pear. The strange craft turned over and
over like top rolling and pMnging until
It passed a bend in the river, and the most
periIous part of the journey had been
passed The huoyaut craft kept on the
crest of the waves until submerged again
on the verge Of the whirlpool. Shooting
into the whirlpool the Fool Killer swung
around and went down like a fishing boo,
but rose again quickly For the next fifty
five minutes Bowser and his boat c.raled
around the whirlpool. Shortly before 8
O'Clock the Fool Killer was carried out
TO the edge of the rapids, and a line was
thrown by Bowser to men on shore, who
hauled him in.
His first question was How is that tcr
Bowser?"
The Fool Killer is 20 feet long and four
feet deep, and IS made of two-inch pine,
with four alright compartments. The kea'
weighs $50 pounds.
