We're wrecked yesterday evening by the
explosion Of about 80 sticks of giant pow
der, which We're being thaWed out pre-
paratory to blasting operations.
The powder was placed on the vacant
cavating for the Goldberg building. A
fire had been started a short distance
away to thaw the powder. In some un-
known manner, it is supposed, the fire
communicated to the powder and in the
next instant there was a loud report
and the windows in the neighborhood be-
gan to fall. Several workmen were en-
gagged in eXcavating near by, but for
tunately they We're not injured. Adolph
Stark, who was in an adjoining black
smith shop, was slightly injured by the
concusSiOn.
The loss will amount to fully s., 900.
All the rear windows in the library
building We're smashed, and almost a
panic resulted among the people who
were in the library at the time Several
windows in the Maule block the Wash

south side Of Park street We're demol-
ished, including one or two plate glass
windows.
The loss will fall on Mr.. Harkins, who

PRUDENT FIGHTERS.

OF all the champions who have worn
the title in this country, John Nor
risey, Jim Corbett and Fitzsimmons
have been the shrewdest and the best
off in monetary matters, writes Macon
Mccormick Corbett has made more
money than any American fighter that
ever lived. l know that it is common
ly thought that that distinction be-
longed to John L. Sullivan, but the
statement I make is the true one. Sui
livan, however, blew in" more money,
having a good time with all that that
implies and infers, than any fighter
that ever lived. Fitzsimmons wasn't
a money maker worth calling such I'M
til he married his present wife. She
is reputed to be an excellent business
woman, and as she has great influence
over her husband it is very fortunate
for him that he has hearkened so much
to her good advice. The richest fghtS'
that America ever produced is Johnny
Newall, of Pittsburg. l am told thai
he owns half a millions worth of rea
estate in the Smoky City alone
Charley Mitchell is the richest present

Although Jeffries and Rubin are

the scene of their coming battle, in
terest in pugilism does not seem to
revive. Very little attention is paid
to the big fighters on the coast. This
apathy may be due to the warm Sep

at all events, look to see matters pick
up by next month and interest grow in
the bout for the championship. Billy
