SIX FIREMEN INJURED
WE'RE ON \ ROOF WHEN THE WALL
OF THE STRUCTURE FELL.
Pittsburg Clay Pot Works Damaged
by Flames to the Extent of
S2SO,OOO-Other Fires.

PITTSBURG, Oct. 6.-Fire to-day in the
Pittsburg clay pot works in Allegheny dam
aged the plant to the extent of $2S00o0, in
jured six men and enforced an idleness of
several months on a force Of 165 workmen.
The injured men were firemen, who were
on the roof of the boiler house when the
wall fell, and they were carried with 1t.
None of them will die.
The fire originated in the boiler room from
IN unknown cause, and quickly burned its
way through into the upper floors used as
drying room and kept at a high tempera-
ture. From there it communicated to block
No. 8, and it was soon reduced to ruins.
Secretary William Mcmillan, secretary and
general superintendent of the company,
rates the loss at between $4,000 and $3.50, 900,
on which there is s1s6.OO0 insurance. The
works were built in three divisions, known
as blocks No. l, and 3. Block No. l re-
mains intact, but the other two COM

chinery.

Company recently erected, containing $780,

M'KINLEY'S LAST WORDS
LETTER FROM ONE OF THE MAR
TYRED PRESIDENTS PHYSICIANS.
VI. ID. Mann's Statement of What Was
Said When the Dying Executive
Bade His Wife Farewell.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The sons and
daughters of the late President McKinley's
native State of Ohio, who are now residents
of Washington, to-day paid a last public
tribute to the memory of their dead con-
gressman, Governor and President, in a
largely-attended meeting at Chase's Opera
House The gathering was held under the
auspices of the Ohio Republican Associa-
ton, but was not confined to Ohioans.
About 5000 persons were present. The
decorations were appropriate to the occa-
sion. The Marine Band furnished the mu-
sic, and was stationed the stage directly
under a large crayon portrait of President
Mckinley, which was draped in graceful
folds of black, the whole surrounded by
an immense American flag.
The meeting was presided over by Col.
j. H. Brigham, assistant secretary of agri-
culture. The Rev. J. J. Muir delivered
the invocation, and addresses were made
by the Rev. Frank NJ Bristol, pastor of
the Metropolitan Church, which the PreSi-
dent attended while in Washington; Judge
Thomas II. Anderson, AlphOnso Hart, d.
X Watson and Simon Wolf, of Washing
ton. The speeches were full of expressions
of love and honor for the memory of Mr.
Mckinley and dwelt on the virtues and
qualities which had endeared him to the
people. Several of the speakers took oc-
casion to denounce the Anarchists in un-
measured terms and advised that drastic
measures be taken against them.
An interesting feature Of the meeting
was the reading of letter from DIR. NJ. D.
Mann, of the Presidents physicians,
to T. NJ. Sullivan, the secretary of the as
ISOLATION 1t was dated Buffalo, Sept 20,
and is follows;
MY Dear Sir-As President Mckinley
was dying | stood behind a screen in his
room and heard him say his last words.
His wife came into the room and he said to
her: Goodbye, all; goodbye. 1t is God 5
way. His will be done, not ours There
was some further conversation with his
wife in the way of leave-taking, but this
should not be repeated. About an hour
later, he said to his wife: Nearer my God
to Thee; cen though it be cross, has been
my constant prayer He tried to say some
thing more but / could not catch it, L
gave out at the time the first sentence as
being the most appropriate TO be remem-
bered as his last words. l wrote them down
at the time that there can be no ques-
tion about il.
A letter from President Roosevelt regret
ting his inability TO be present was read.

SIR THOMAS LIPTON'S PLANS.
He VIII Visit Chicago Next Week
Feast for Shamrock's Crew.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Sir Thomas Upton
had the first day OF absolute rest to-day
that he has had since he arrived. The Erin
was at anchor of West Twenty-siXth
street, but near to the Jersey shore. and
her owner remained on board all day.
There were very few visitors. Mr.. and
Mrs. Jameson and Mr. Watson had gone to
Glen Cove on a visit and the Duke Of
Alba was at his hotel in New York, so
Sir Thomas had the ship TO himself.
When asked about his plans for the near
future he said: After the dinner at the
New York Yacht Club Tuesday night
have "A number of invita- tions TO various
clubs, but L have not yet decided which
shall be able 10 accept, as my time is very
limited. / shall 20 10 Chicago, TO be the
guest of the Chicago Athletic Club on
Tuesday of next week, leaving here Monday
Tor that place. II is not likely the Sham
rock will remain in commission. / am very
sorry she did not win at least one race.
However. | am going 10 give Captain Syca-
more and the crew of the Shamrock a
banquet. 1t will probably be on Thursday
night. | feel that they have done their
best to make the boat win"
From another source il was learned that
there is a hope on board the Erin and
Shamrock that another race for the Amer
ica'S cup may be arranged. to be sailed next
year If this can be accomplished, il is
said, the Shamrock will be laid up IN New
York for the winter. She is at present in
the Erie basin.

FIRST OPERATiC SUCCESS.

Verdi, Although Sick, Got Good Price
for First Opera.
"Nabucodonosor' was played with
the most brilliant success at the Scala
on March Q, 1912. Verdi was not at
the performance. He simply went to
the theater at the close of the piece,
noted the success of his work, returned
to his garret and went to bed. He was
still sleeping when, at dawn, there was
a knock at his door. Merelli entered.
Knowing that several of his confreres
would be sure to make propositions
to Verdi. he determined to be the early
bird. The conditions of the garret con-
WINGED him that he had a first-class
chance to make good bargain, and
he remembered that DoniZetti sold his
"EliZire d'Amore" for 500 francs.
How much do you want for your
opera" he asked. Thirty thousand
francs" said Verdi. Merelli started.
What did you say?" ne gasped. 81
said 10000 francs" replied Verdi, with
the greatest GOODNESS. because you got
up at 8 o'clock in the morning to come
to see me. This evening the price will
be $4,000. After some discussion Mer-
ELI handed over his check after which
he went home and took to his bed,
where he remained for two months
suffering from jaundice. On account
of that jaundice he became the laugh
ing stock of all Milan, and old artists
still speak of ii. The rest of Verdi's
history is known. No one merited the
glorious triumphs more than he did.

be advantageous from an economical

Stanch Lightship Set to Guard
This Ocean Graveyard.

Sailors say that there are two grave
yards in the Atlantic, one off Sable
Island and the other at Cape Hatteras
The wrecks that strew the sea bot
tom around the little piece of land be-
tween the Grand banks and the main
land are mostly caused by the dense
fogs that prevail most of the year
misleading the shippers westward and
eastward bound, until too late they
hnd themselves upon the rocks. Fog is
only lesser peril of Hatteras weather.

as the worst of storm centers. The
fury OF its winds, the sweep of it's ter

Its lurking shoals are byword in the
