down the narrow stairway. In running to
the front door something sharp dropped
from the ceiling, scraping his arm and
cutting deep cash in the right wrist. He
ran, after getting out, to the District
Telegraph Company, where he again
called for the fire department.
As TO the origin Of the fire, Dugan says
he cannot account for 1t. There were two
coal furnaces in the cellar, one in the rear
and one in the front of the building. There
was fire in the front furnace. which had
been used during the day. The rear fur
mace had not been used. The flames, when
Dugan saw them, were coming from the
rear Of the store, and he kr W no probable
reason for its starting there, as there was
no fire in that part.
Dugan went TO the City Dispensary,
where his arm was dressed.

WORK OF WATER TOWER.
1t Was Interfered with by Overhead
Wires-An Electric Shower.

The firsmen had great difficulty in get
ting the water tower to working because
Of the trolley wires The trucks were
placed on the street-car tracks and the
tower raised. When in an upright position
it leaned to the side and touched the troll
ley wire. Instantly there was a loud re-
port with a shower of sparks. which drove
the men who were blocking up the wheels
from their work. The swing of the tower
caused a succession of sparks and loud re-
ports, which caused much uneasiness
among the fremen. who hesitated to get
back TO work. and thoroughly frightened
the several hundred spectators who crowd
ed as closely as possible around the water
tower. The burning out of the fuses or the
turning off Of the current stopped the dis
play Of fireworks and there was no further
trouble.

GREAT FIRE LOSS.

CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.)
fire, FELL About five minutes later the back
part of the third floor fell with a crash.
The falling of the floors greatly assisted
the firemen, for they were then able TO get
water into places in the building which
they had not before been able to reach.
The falling of the floors lessened the
chances of the fire spreading to the ad-
jacent buildings-the one on the east occu-
pied by William Haerle and on the west
by the Arcade clothing store.
The fire at o'clock was apparently under
control although flames kept breaking out
in new places every few minutes.

WALKED OFF WITH ovERCoAT.
A Man Took Advantage of the Fire
Excitement.

While the salvage corps men were work
ing in the buildings occupied by the Arcade
clothing store a man walked into the
store and picked up an overcoat. He slipped
it on over another overcoat and started
from the store to walk leisurelv west on
Washington street. While he took the pre-
caution to walk slowly to avoid suspicion,
he did not remove the size and price tags
from the garment.
He passed a crowd of insurance and
newspaper men, who had just emerged
from Wassons store, and one of the party
noticed the man with the new overcoat.
a fireman caught the fellow and held him
until a policeman arrived One of his
friends attempted to draw the overcoat
off the man and allow him to go, but the
policeman insisted upon arresting him. The
friend said the thiefs name was Willis

Man Who Ate Seven Dozen Raw EGGS
in Ten Minutes.

DUBUQUE, Ia, Feb. 15.-Phil Melloy
known as the gastronomic wonder of this
city, last night devoured seven dozen raw
eggs inside of ten minutes on a wager. The
bet was that he was to swallow ten dozen
eggs in thirty minutes, but some one pur-
posely handed him a rotten one. After he
recovered he offered to swallow the other
three dozen and eat a roast goose on top
but no one would accept the challenge
Finally he offered to eat a bucket of oys-
tiers at one sitting. Melloy has been known
for some time as the man with a leather
stomach, and it is dangerous TO bet against
him.

FIRE CAME QUICKLY.


The fire, as a whole, was surprising. 1t
came as a flash. Jacob Clary. merchant
policeman, said he had been past the store
not five minutes before. He tried the front
door and at the time saw nothing wrong
inside. Patrclmen Paulsen and PoDe passed
the store about the same time. They
walked to Meridian street and the Circle
and met the sergeant and while talking
the alarm was turned in.
The fire was one of the fercest with
which the fremen have had to deal for
many months. Everything in the store
burned like finder. The fire was down again
almost as quickly as it came. being due 10
the falling of the floors, which smothered
the fire at the bottom; allowed all of the
water thrown into the building to fall
upon IL and left but little to burn above.
