OIL FIELDS BURNING
Another aDisastrous Fire Breaks
Out In the Texas
Oil Fields

Beaumont, Tex, Oct. 8.-Another
great fire, more disastrous than the con-
hagration Of few weeks ago, is sweep
ing over the oil fields here, causing a
property loss of thousands of dollars,
and possible loss of life. 1t is rumored
that twelve persons have persisted, but
the report cannot be confirmed at this
hour.
The fire broke out shortly before
eleven o'clock at night and with re-
markable rapidity it spread to the
many derricks in the Hogg-Swayne
tract. The encroachment of the flames
was so rapid that many people were
caught in the fiery path, and at mid
night it is thought that twenty persons
may have persisted.
The fire started in peculiar manner.
Shortly before midnight a workman
lifted off the top of his lantern to blow
out the light. The atmosphere was
heavily laden with gas, and in an in
slant there was fash, followed by a
sheet of flame.

chusetts. and served till 1861. Three
years later he was chosen associate JUS.
tice Of the same court and chief JUS
tice in 1873. Here he gained an en-.
viable reputation as n jurist. He was
named as associate justice of the Su.
preme Court Of the United States Dec,
10. 1881. by President Arthur.
Justice Gray was great alI-aro0nd
lawyer. He was recognized authority
In admiralty cases. During recent
years he rendered the opinion of the
court In many important cases. He
was with the majority of the Supreme
Court justices in the income tax and
insular cases and decided that the Uni
ted States had no right to seize fishing
smacks supposed to be carrying aid to
the Cubans. Justice Gray delivered
the opinion Of the Supreme Court that
Congress had the power to make the
treasury notes Of the United States le-
gal tender in payment Of private debts
in time Of peace as well as in war.
The deceased jurist was a man of
commanding figure. He stood six feet
six inches and was solidly built. In So
cial life he was affable and unreserved,
and among those who knew him well
was regarded as one of the most polite,
genial and courteous of men.

WashingtOn's Location at st. Louis
Fair IL Among the Best,


Everett, Oct. 9.-James E. Bell,
president of the Pacific Coast Lumber
Manufacturers association, has re-
turned from St. Louis, where he, went
in company with E. E. johnson, exec
utive commissioner of the St. Louis ex-
position commission, to participate in
the selection of site for state build
ing. Mr.. Bell, it will be remembered,
originated the novel plan of q state
building forming design between an
Indian wigwam and Chinese pagoda,
which Was endorsed both by the state
commission and the lumbermen's asso-
citation. which is to furnish the mate
rial for the building. He says:
"We had our own way practically in
the matter of selecting site, and be-
lieve we got the finest there. 1t is on
an eminence which will afford a binds
eye view of the rest of the grounsd from
our building. The plans for our build
ing were approved by the supervising
architect of the fair association, and we
we're assured that they were the most
novel, striking and attractive of any
vet submitted. We received the hest
treatment at the hands of the fair Off
Gals"
While in St. Louis Mr.. Bell attended
a banquet given by the Business Men =
club to the representatives OF the differ
ent states and nations who were there
to participate in the site selecting and
was one OF the speakers of the occasion.

During last year. according to re.
port recently issued by the Alpine Club
119 persons lost their lives while climb.

number for the previous year. Most OF
the accidents occurred in the neigh.

tourists. The number Of accidents SUI.

what Is worse, most Of them are SO con-
fident Of their own ability that they
will not take the precaution to employ

Nothing attests the nerve and the
courage and endurance Of a man as
does mountain climbing, and 1t Ia quite
as much of a science as any other form
Of athletic sport. Experienced men
can tell at glance the safest and the
most accessible paths and where and
between what hours there will be the
least risk of falling stones. Swiss
guides who have been taken to the
Andes and to the Himalayas and even
to our own American mountains have
never failed to accomplish ascents
which men without experience have
considered impossible. 1t Is simply a
matter Of ability acquired by long and
patient study. yet any ordinary tourist

SLOW IN MEETING
Attendance Upon National Asso-

Good Time Assured.
Especial Dispatch t. The Times.l

FORTRESS MONROE, VA, July a.
The National Tobacco Mems Convention
should have convened here this morning,
but cid not do so because a quorum was
lacking. President T. NJ. Darlington and
Secretary ]. c. Hagan. both Of Rich
mGnd a majority Of the members of the
BOARD of Governors and a number OF Viz
gina delegates. the whole party number
ing about twenty. arrived to-day. The
heard got together and decided to meet
Tomorrow morning if the requisite num-
her of delegates show up. At this session
the president will read his anr gu address
and committees will be appointed, after
which the convention will adjourn until
Saturday, when officers will be elected.
AS a matter of fact, it looks as though
thele would be no meeting. A large at
tendance of delegates was expected, out
for some reason they have not put in an
appearance. and there does not appear
much likelihood that many more will
come. However, there is not, 1t IS under
stood, a great deal of business before the
body. and such as it is can be transacted
in short time and by bare quorum.
Even if the convention should not meet
those members present will have good
time. for they have received many invi-
ta tons. which they expect to accept. The
Norfolk and Western Railroad Company
has invited the convention to take a trip
over its line. The Newport News and
Old Poin Railway and Electric Company
has placed two cars at the disposal of
the members for trip over its lines al
their convenience General Superintend-
ent W. A. Post has invited the conven-
ton to visit the big plant Of the Newport
News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Com
pany. Colonel Story has asked the tobac
ccnists to visit Fort Monroe and watch
dr. ess parade, and the Old Dominion
Steamship Company has invited the mem
b=r5 to take a moonlight excursion at its
expense It is probable. also, that a ma
iority CT the members of the convention
will visit Jamestown before they return.
So. even IT, perchance. there should be no
meeting the visitors will have a profit
able, as well as a pleasant time.
