Ohio City Has Haif-Miiiion- Dollar
Fire-Watchmau Nearly Dies.
The most disastrous contiagration that
has ever visited Dayton. Ohio, began
early the other day and caused loss of
100000. The alarm called the depart
mcnt to the tobacco warehouse of j. L.
Wolf in East First street. The fire had
started in the boiler room, being caused
by an ovcrheated boiler, causing the lat
ter to explode. The three-story brick
building ut Foundry street was mass
of flames, the large stock Of tobacco burn-
ing like q candle. In ten minutes the
flames had taken hold OF the two story
building adjoining. also occupied by j. L.
Wolf. Ii was hoped that the great hire
walls of the new fve-story building would
arrest the progress of the fire, but the
flames were too hot for it. and soon the
first room of that building was furnace.
The property destroyed includes the ware
houses and factory OF j. =. Wolf a. Sons.
tobacco merchants; E. Birm Il Son, gro
GERS; Benedict a. Co., cigar manufacture
ers; the Dayton Paper Novelty Company
and several other smaller concerns. Night
Waterman Snediker while trying TO lind
the fire, was over come with smoke and
was found unconscious by the trcmen.
Louis Swaneger, fireman. was removed
to his home badly frozen. The loss is es-
timated at $J00,000

and the following day they brought all
their resources into action to dislodge
them. Following the tactics that won
them Majuba, they rode up the slope of
Spion kop to the first ledge, where they
left their horses in safety on the dead
ground where they could not be reached
by the British fire. Then, under cover
of the fire from their Krupp, Creusot
and Maxim guns, they scaled the heights,
carrying ledge after ledge until they
reached the summit from which the Brit
ish positions were commanded. That
night after a desperate days fighting the
British, finding it impossible to retain the
hill, abandoned it and the next day Gen.
Butler ordered retreat south of the Tu-
gela. The attempted fanking movement
had been repulsed as disastrously as the
frontal attack at Colenso. Since then
reports have come daily intimating that
Butler was about 10 again cross the Tu-
gela to engage the Beers.
The latest estimate of the Boer forces
north of the Tugela places their number
at 10000 men. OF these 1000 are around
Ladysmth, 1000 opposing Butler and
5000 held ready to throw their strength
where needed. Thus the experts point
out $4,000 Beers can be concentrated
against Butler at any point he chooses
to attack, and since they keep informed
concerning Buffers movements by means
of outposts on the kops and can move
much faster than the British, attempts
to outfank them became futile.
The Government is being called on TO
send reenforcements to Butler to over

ARREST OF CouNTERFElTERs.
Belief that Dangerous Gang Has
Been Broken Up.

Belief that a Dangerous Gang Has
Been Broken Up.
The greatest counterfeiting conspiracy
that has ever been attempted in the DO
minion of Canada has been nipped IN the
bud by the arrest in Baltimore of An
thony Decker, for years a trusted en-
ploye Of the Canada Engraving and Lith-
ographic Company, limited, and the Bur
Ian photographic Company of Montreal.
The conspiracy was conceived ana ar
ranged in Montreal, and when the place
became too hot for the conspirators most
of them moved West. The gang is said
to consist of Anthony Decker, his wife,
his son, Paul Decker, and Hans kuntz.
They are charged with making and cir
culating thousands of counterfeit 81 bills
and with making for circulation thou
sands of dollars worth of So and $40
counterfeit bills. Paul Decker was ar
rested at Woodstock, Ont, and in his
possession were found plates and all the
necessary apparatus for printing coun-
terfeit bills. Mrs. Decker was arrested
at Hamilton, and Hans Kuntz was ar
rested at London, Ont.
The authorities believe they have gath
cred in the principal members of the
gang, but other arrests are expected to
be made in Montreal. The gang was
preparing to issue $250,000 worth of 50
bills, which were to have been printed by
Kuntz at London, but Kuntz fell ill and
the issue of the bills was delayed. In
the meantime the gang got scared and a
few days ago Decker skipped out to Bal
timore and the other members of the gang
proceeded to follow him.

WARM SOUTH AFRICA
BRITISH ARMY SEEMS TO BE
HELD AT BAY.
All Along the Line, from the Modder
River to the Tugcla, Britain's oper-
ations Have Resulted In Series of
Severe Defeats.

The first chapter OF the war in South
Africa Is closed and it closed in gloomy
disaster for Great Britain. In spite Of
the bravery of her troops and the scien-
tifc training of her generals, she has ex-
perienced such series Of defeats at the
hands of the Beers that for the time be-
ing all important operations are suspend
ed, with the objects OF the campaign thus
ended, unattained. Never before, per-
haps, has Great Britain expended such
great efforts with such little result. All
along the line from the Modder river to
the Tugela her military efforts have been
thwarted and her best generals beaten.
Following Gen. Buffers defeat at Co
lenso, Dec. 10, in his attempt to force
back the Beers and press on to the re-
lief u Ladysmith, it became Imperative,
il the siege of that place were to be rails
ed, to devise some other plan to reach it
beside by direct frontal attack upon an
entrenched enemy. Accordingly Gen.
Butler made ample preparations TO flank
the Beers and decided on westward
movement. The Tugela river was cross
ed in two places, from fifteen to twenty
miles west of Colenso, and the movement
was apparently auspiciously begun.
The first serious fighting in this move
ment began Jan. 20. All that day and
each succeeding day until the 18th the
fighting continued, the Beers making a
most stubborn resistance. During the
night OF the 23d the forces under Gen.
Woodgate succeeded in capturing Spion
kop, a high hill that was considered the
key to the Boer position The Beers were
determined that the British should not
remain in possession Of this eminence

POPS FROM HIS HEAD.
QUEER BEHAVIOR or A CLEvE-
LAND MANS EYE.
Blows His Nose with Disastrous Re-
suits While Entertaining Com pany at
His Home More seasonable Weather
Produces Improvement i'm Trade.

James III. Finnigan, superintendent of
the shipping department of Sterling,
Welch & Co. at Cleveland, has just had
a most remarkable experience. Finnigan
was assisting in entertaining company
at his home on Melvin street He took
his handkerchief from his pocket and
blew his nose. Those present were hor-
rifed to see Finnigan's left eye pop from
its socket and hang by the hgaments
down his cheek. One young woman faint
ed. Finnigan pushed the eye back into
the socket, and in doing so carried the
eyelid in with it. He was blind for the
time being, and the pain was intense. A
physician was called, but he refused to
handle the case. DIR. ID. Il. Smith was
then summoned. Finnigan was removed
to the Cleveland general hospital, where
DR.. Smith took the eye out again and re-
placed it properly. The case among oc-
ulists is said to be one of the strangest
on record.
