Kinx Takes to Fencing.

London, March 1s.-King Edward,
who, after the injury to his knee
was obliged to stop bicycle riding,
has resumed that pastime and has
taken up fencing as being the best of
antidotes to the increase of seden-
tary work necessitated by his new
state duties. His majesty is often
seen cycling between Marlborough
house and the Mall. Recently the
king attended a West End school and
indulged in fencing with great zest.
He is said to be capital swordsman
and uses the foil with considerable
skill and precision.

Pittsburgh, Pa, March 18.-Durin1
the progress Of 9 fire Sunday at the
corner Of Duquesne way and Fort
street one man lost his life and three
others were badly hurt. The prop
erty loss will be fully $3.50, 600, well in
sured. William Miller, fireman, was
killed, and the following injured:
George J. Snyder, hoseman, No. 8 COM
pany; Harry Griffith, ladder man,
truck c; H. E.. Scheckler, hoseman,
company 30. All Of the injured men
are in the hospital in rather bad shape,
but all will recover. = /
The fire broke out in the boiler-room
of the Hiram w. French company's
hair felt factory, just opposite the Ex-
position main building. Through some
confusion no alarm was turned in for
some time and it was fully 20 minutes
a1ter the fire was discovered before
the engines reached the scene. From
the felt factory the Hames jumped
across the street and in very short
time the Exposition building was burn
ing 'iercely: All the sfiremen could do
here was to prevent the flames spread
ing. After hard work this was ac-
complished and Machinery hall, with
It's valuable contents, was saved. The
main building was a complete wreck.
Two lumber yards adjoining the felt
factory soon succumbed. Gallagher
and Banker lost 1000, 900 feet of lum-
ber and Henry Henk 350,ooo feet of
valuable hardwood. Three small
dwellings near the lumber yards were
destroyed, but as far as known all the
inmates escaped. William Miller and
his fellow firemen were victims of a
live wire. The intense heat melted the
net work of wires running in every d.
rection and one of them in falling
struck q trolley wire, the other end
crossing the brass nozzle of the hose
held by Miller and Snyder. Both men
fell as though they had been shot.
schreckler and Griffith, in going to the
rescue. were also caught and both
were badly burned. When the pros
trate men were reached Miller was
dead and two of the others uncon-
scious. The loss on the Exposition
building will reach 100000, fully in
sured. President Torrance saws the
structure will be rebuilt at once and
be ready for the fall engagements.

Lieut.. Totten, formerly professor at
