DESTROYED BY FIRE

ConnellsviIle, Pa, Dec. 24.-Almost
an entire square was wiped out by fire
here today. The loss is conservatively
estimated at $4,000. The insurance in
many instances does not half equal the
loss. The fire lasted from to 8 o'clock.
By hard and heroic work the firemen
kept the flames within the confines Of
one square Of buildings, occupied by
about 80 tenants, nearly all of whom
were burned out. The fire was started
by some children in a wareroOm and
soon communicated to surrounding
buildings.

ton were such tender made. 1 snail

Those close to the governor here beleVe
ne will accept the portfolio if it is for
mally rendered.
washington, Dec. 24.-The cabinet
was in session a little over an hour to-
day. Practically no business was tran
sacted. the whole time being occupied
in fluctuations of the season. The Pres
ident did not mention the fact that ne
had rendered the treasury portfolio TO
Governor Shaw at the meeting, but
privately talked with Secretary wilson
about the matter, the latter expressing
accept.
If Governor Shaw accepts, Secretary
Gage will suit the incoming secretary's
convenience about relinquishing his
portfolio to him. Whenever Governor
Shaw is ready to assume office, Score
tary Gage will turn over the admins
tration of the treasury to him. Score
tary Gage has not announced what his
plans for the future are.
If Governor Shaw goes into the cabi-
net the question viii have been raised
as to whether Secretary Wilson, who
also comes from Iowa, will remain. On
this point, a cabinet officer is quoted as
saying that the President is particular
w DESTROYS that Secretary Wilson shall
continue in his cabinet His work in
the department of agriculture IS highly
appreciated by the farmers of the coun-
try, and the President does not desire

them referred to City Solicitor Conrad
to pass on it as to its legality
Mr.. Conrad in his opinion states that
there is nothing in the ordinance con-
trary to any-existing laws and Council
can legally pass it if they desire.
An effort will be made TO have the
Law and Fire committees report on the
ordinance at tonight's meeting. The
opinion was not considered by the com

cattle were finally rounded up.
About LIS o'clock the drove, about
thirty all told, was driven past Fifth
and Monroe streets on tho way to the
ahatoir. The animals were restless and
it was hard to keep them together. Fin
ally they stampeded and went off a, a
gallop. The drovers followed, yelling
loudly.
Away over the city streets they went
at rapid speed, the noise made by the
pounding of their boots arousing people
along the way.
At 8 o'clock the drove appeared in the
vicinity of Second and Madison streets.
Policemen on the beat Joined the drovers
in the chase and for time there was
the liveliest kind Of chase. The resi-
dents of the neighborhood were aroused
by the clatter Of the herd, which scat.
tered in all directions, and the shouts
Of the drovers and the bluecoats.
Finally the tired animals were round
cd up and driven to the slaughter. Their
animation is ended Today they are
dressed beef.

got in the race.

Professor Harry Lambiase' 4
Roy al Venetians, twentieth century
band which has been engaged t,
play this season at Brandy wine
Springs, is one of the finest musical
organizations in the country and
while at the Park will give free
concerts every afternoon and even
ing. The band is now on its fourth
week and has given satisfaction.
both to the public and the manage.
ment
Professor Lamtiase is very CRATE
full for the reception given him by
the patrons of The Park and stands
ready at any time to play any Sc
lection that may be requested. The
program Tuesday evening was ex-
ceptionally fine, the first five se;ee-
tons being played by request.
They were: Selections from the
Burgomaster, Rogers Brothers ia
Central Park, Foxy CUTLER. Robin
Hood, and Libretti's Polka, a cor
net solo. The first two pieces
named were played in ths city for
the fiji st time by this band and in
the future as in the past, none but
the latest music will be given.
The solost Salvador Lambatti,
frat cornetist, acquitted himself
with great credit aud was applaud
ed and er coured several times. He
is one Of the finest solosts in the
country and is a credit to the band.
The band is composed Of twenty
eight musicians every one of whom
is an artist in his line, ten of the
number being soloists of national
reputation.
Professor Lambiase is one of the
finest band leaders in tho country
and his present organization capsthe
climax of his own efforts which cover
a period Of number of years. Last
summer he played at Atlantic City
and also at Paramount Park.
He is composer of some note and
since coming to thiscity has written
three airs that he has dedicated to
the park. The first is entitled
Brandywine Springs Park, the second
Progress of the Park and the third is
polka he has not yet named.
The band she'll is SO constructed
that all noises that may arise from
mechanical amusements and the cars
will in NO way interfere with the mu-
sic. The seats will accommodate near
ly 1000 persons and more can be ad-
ded If needed.
Many new amusements have been
added to the park and it grows more
popular as a picnic ground every
day. Several parties were out Tues
day and took their lunch with
them which can be enjoyed under
the shade trees. Benches and tables
are provided for the picnicers and
every facility has been added to make
their visits as enjoyable as possible.
Manager Crooks will thank the
public for any suggestion that they
may make for the betterment Of the
park or the Peoples railway as moth.
ing would give him greater pleasure
than to please his patrons.
