Twenty-Five Lives Lost at New York
by Fire-Blaze That Cost ST..
5000 at COney Island
Three Lives Lost.

Rome, Nov. 2.-Fire broke out In
that portion Of the Vatican containing
the Hall of Inscriptions, where the
pope gives his audiences, and which Is
adjacent to the famous Pinacoteca, or
gallery Of pictures. The alarm caused
much confusion and excitement in the
Vatican. Strenuous efforts were made
to control the flames, and the firemen
or Rome were called to lend their help.
In less than three hours the sire was
under control. No lives were lost. No
idea Of the damage can yet be OBJ
tanned. The pope came to the scene
in person and remained until the ar
rangements to fight the fire We're COM
pleted.
Caused - Great Sensation.
The fire caused a greater sensation
since the death of Pope Leo. Fires in
Rome are exceptional, because of the
heavy stone and brick construction of
the buildings, and the outbreak Of
flames in such conspicuous place,
wherein were many celebrated treas
ures, brought out great numbers Of
anxious people, in spite of the heavy
rain which had been falling through
out the day. When the pontiff ar
rived at the scene he ordered every
one to assist in extinguishing the
flames.
Where the Blaze Started.
The first intimatiOn of fire was
when smoke was seen issuing from the
apartment of NJ. Marie, and when the
firemen broke into his room he was
found fast asleep. 1t is supposed that
he retired and forgot to take proper
precautions with his kitchen fire, which
probably blazed up and ignited some
nearby hangings. When the fire en-
gines began working three rooms were
already entirely destroyed by the
flames, which were extending to the
other apartments.
Incident of the Occasion.
Information had been sent the Ital-
ian authorities, who hurried to st. Pc
tiers. They were courteously invited
to enter and did so. Therefore, for the
first time since the fall of the tempo
raj power of the Vatican the mayor of
Rome, the project, police officials and
even Signor Ronchetti, the newly APP
pointed minister Of justice, entered the
Vatican in their official capacities.
Cannot Approximate the Loss.
The entire museum of inscriptions.
the rooms of Father Ehrle, part Of
the library and the printing houses
were entirely flooded with water. 1t
is impossible to reach even an approx
mate idea Of the extent of the damage.
Many articles were saved, including
some ancient and very valuable arms.
Many things that escaped the flames
were in urtd by water. especially the
precious private library of Pope Leo,
which Father Ehrle had been rear
ranging in accordance with the last
wish of the late pontiff.

Before it had been an hour under way

to try to keep the $1,000 sightseers out

WHAT CAUSED THE HOaRoRf
That Is What No One Knows-Heroism o:
the Colds.

That Is What No One Knows-Heroism o.
the Colds.
The foregoing lists of dead and
wounded are the result of the collision
of foot ball special train with a coal
train. The foot ball special was COM
ing to the city from Lafayette and
there were 1000 persons on it-foot
ball players, professors and goods of
Purdue university coming here to play
and see game with the bloomington
team In the coaches all was merry,
the college yell. the joke and the laugh
going gaily round Outside was death
meet the special on the same track.
How did the coal train get there? Is
question the railway men are not yet
ready to answer. Both engineers de-
clare they had the right of way. Both,
with the firemen, jumped and only one
was seriously hurt.
When the crash took place there was
horror. Sixteen men had received
their death wounds and were lying in
the debris, while others whose chances
of life were varied were in the same
tangle And here the coed made a
reputation for herOism and tender kind
ness that will be pride of Purdue
for the future. The young women,
dressed In bright colOrs for the holi-
day, went into the field of horror with
out hesitation. Though the bodies were
in several instances horribly mangled
one completely and one partly be-
headed-they took upon their laps the
heads of the dying and injured and
soothed their sufferings as best they
could until the surgeons arrived. Their
blocdstained and grimy garments were
gloomy witnesses of their heroisIn.
While the work of rescue was 60
ing on there arrived In the city over
900 cheering followers of the red and
white of Indiana university at Bloom
ington. Banners waved. college yells
were being hurled from the windows,
and streamers were displayed from the
windows of the car bearing the uni
versity foot ball team. As the happy
and excited students poured from the
train news of the tragedy to the black
and gold of Purdue was received. In
stantly all was sadness and sympathy.

Frankfort, Ind, Nov. 2. = Hoboes
have established a permanent camp
in the western outskirts of this city,
the tramps' retreat being located near
the Glover Leaf right-of-way. Night
ly from twenty-five to fifty of these
human drones assemble there and in
dulge in disgraeeful orgies. Now that
the nights are becoming cold, the
tramps are doing damage by stealing
and burning valuable timber, the Clover
Leaf railroad being one of the great
est sufferers in this respect, as the
'vagabOnds appropriate bridge timbers.
etc. All of the residences on the west
side are visited daily by tramps, and
the large pile of chicken feathers In
the vicinity of the camp proves very
plainly the fate Of chickens that have
been missed by poultry owners. 1t is
probable that the Glover Leaf Rail
road company and the local authori-
ties will unite in a vigorous campaign
on this camp, in the hope of abolish
Ing it.

MUCH LAW OVER A DAM SITE
Including What Looks Like Mob Law
Also q Spice of Incendiarism,
1t Is Alleged.


Plymouth, Ind, Nov. "a case at
law that Is the outcome Of a mill dam
battle that was fought for forty years
Is now being tried in the Marshall
circuit court. The case refers to a
dam that was built In the Tippecanoe
river, near the old town of Tippeca-
noe 1t was built in 1850, and In all
that time It has been the bone Of con-
tention among the people. In 1873 the
mill, to operate which the dam was
built, was burned by incendiaries. 1t
was rebuilt and again burned and the
dam blown out. Finally the owners
were afraid to rebuild and the balance
Of the dam was allowed to wash out.
At one time the water overflowed
1000 acres Of land. and the ownership
Of this land is now up for settlement
In the court. 1t is set up that the own
ers at no time obtained title IN fee sim
pie to the land, and that with the re-
moval of the dam the title to the land
reverted to the original owners and
their Successors. 1t IL related that In
the same county three brothers named
Zehner own mills in three different To-
calities, and for years the three dams
that were built to afford power caused
litigation that has lasted for several
decades.
