Two Disastrous Fires.

BALTIMORE, March 2S.-Two dis
astrous fires involving a loss of about
5000, 600, visited Baltimore to-day. The
largest of these was in the clothing
establishment of Likes, Berwanger &
Co.. East Baltimore street which began
at 8 a. NJ, and was not extinguished
until nearly noon.~ The building was
filed with stock. The origin of the fire
is unknown. Within a few minutes
after its discovery it had spread to
every part of the building. A high
wind made it difficult to fight but by
hard work. it was confined to the
building In which it originated. The
loss to Likes, Berwanger & Company
Is $780, 900 and that of the Dulaney
Company adjoining $1,000 by water,
both covered by insurance.
The second fire started soon after
the first in a building owned by F. X.
Ganter, 8 and IL Pratt street. The oc-
cupants of the building were Diggs,

Miss Foley at first thought it was her
father, but as several minutes elapsed
without any sound coming from above
she determined to investigate. She
went to desk, secured her fathers re-
vo.ver, and assembled the steps without
making a sound. She traversed long
hall and at the rear of the building
came face to face with the robber. His
pockets were bulging with the loot he
had collected and a watch chain
dangled from his finger ends. The
brave young woman realized in an in
slant what was the strangers mission
and she leveled the pistol at his head.

to do so, however, the young million

pose in the Tuxedo district.
1t was said that the purchase made
by Mr.. Vanderbilt's agents was the
largest ever made in this district, and
the tracts which they had bought for
him amounted to many thousands of
acres. The place is near the Havemeyer
estate.
The land which has been bought for
Mr.. Vanderbilt is for the most part
wooded. There are some farms in the
tract and one or two streams The

one man accomplished the feat. After
about all had made try Capt. DAILY
said he would do it. but was equally
unsuccessful. Then Head Coach Ben
Dibblee tried and failed.
Mack uses what may be called by
some hypnotic power, or the power of
mind over circumstance. When a man
would try TO lift him Mack would place
his index finger lightly on the side of
the neck of the litter and by some I'M
seen power destroy the strength of his
opponent. When his finger was re-
moved he was lifted almost as a child
by the sturdy footballists.
Innumerable tests were made, until
Mack was completely exhausted from
the terrific strain under which he was
laboring.
