Thursday morning and tumbled into
the street An hour later the most dis
astrous fire ever known in the city

idly from the loose dry goods stock to
the crockery store of Buckley q Co.,
and the furnishing goods house of
Wurzburg q Co. where the flames
were checked after hard fight. The
whole Blodgett furniture block was
ablaZe, when Lieutenant of Firemen
Conner fell from the top of 5o-foot
ladder into the street and will die
from his injuries.
The cause of the buildings collapse
was the remodeling inside, where
workmen cut away some main pillars.

The second week of the sheet hoop

with vigor. The strike situation Sat

Amalgamated Association, but the
work in an unexpected quarter in Nc
Keesport Saturday afternoon and sun

plant. The next move. however, is up
to the National Tube company. which
is understood to have threatened dis
charge if the men joined union. Dis
charge would spread the strike. This
is the first attempt to test the temper
of the management on uni0nism since
the plants absorption. The Amalga-
mated Association formerly hourished
in the McKeespOrt plant. The Carnegie
strike of 1892 weakened the position
and in 1894 crisis again developed ut
the tube plant. There was rioting and
the Amalgamated was defeated.
The McKeesport plant of the tube
company is the largest in the world.
In all departments about 5000 men
are employed. and the closing down of
the rolling mill and steel works would
tie up the whole works. The rolling
mill employs about $50 men.

Jr. of Detroit. to recover Il note for

was given in Maine for a gambling

that all obligations given in whole or
part for money or goods won by gam
bling are utterly void against all per-
sons, except bonafide purchasers of
real estate and holders of negotiable
paper for Il valuable consideration
without notice. Hammond gave the
check in payment for pool tickets and
both courts hold that he need not
pay it.
