especially as it was largely believed
that the sultan's obduracy was due
to the supposed friendship between
Germany and Turkey-it is felt in Lon

over the outcome, that there is a grave
doubt as to whether France has
achieved more than a paper victory.
The British theory is that M. Cons

WHEATLEY HOME
BADLY DAMAGED
pasnl+ of Accidental Fire Yesterday
Morning.
CAUGHT FROM A CHIMNEY FLUE
Handsome Home of Mr. Thornton
WheatleY Badly Injured By Flames
Contents Removed In Safety
Well Covered By Insurance

The handsome residence of Mr..
Thornton Wheatley narrowly escaped
destruction by fire at 10 o'clock yester
dap morning, the flames having their
origin in a chimney fue and spreading
with such rapidity that the roof was
soon ablaze,
That any portion of the building was
saved seems miraculous.
The department did efficient work,
and after battling with the flames for
nearly an hour the fire was extlnguish-
ed though the house was very badly
damaged.
/ A high wind prevailed, Which rem
dered the work of the firemen much
more difficult, besides endangeriug 9TH

one time the entire roof was envelop-

destruction almost sure.
The department was ably assisted by
willing citizens, many of them old fire.
men who also knew what to do and
how to 90 it.
The flames licked angrily at the roof,
as the fremen fought them back.
In the meanwhile nearly all furni-
ture, carpets pictures and other con-
tents were taken carefully from the
house to the lawn There was no I'M
due excitement, and the handsome
furniture was removed with but slight
loss or breakage of the articles.
Three streams of water were pouring
upon the roof in the meanwhile, and
the firemen soon had the flames under
control.
While several gentlemen were re-
moving the effects from a second floor
room the burning ceiling fell upon
them, but barring a few slight cuts
and scorched hands they escaped with
out injury.
Americas has rarely seen fire better
managed in every way.
The loss will amount to several
thousand dollars, which is fully cover.
ed by insurance in the Southern Mu-
tual Mr.. Wheatley had more than

The efficient work of the department,
no doubt, prevented the most serious
confagration in recent years in Ameri.
