A Southern freight train In coming
in from the North, brought a blazing
box car into the railroad yards this af-
ternoon and but for the efficient SER
vice of the fire brigade at the Southern
Railway shops. the damage would per-
haps have been far in excess of the
$3.50 estimated to have been lost in the
flames.
The fire in the box car which was
loaded with sawdust and which was
onlv two cars away from the locomo-
tive, was discovered when the train
reached Bakers Switch, just outside of
the city limits. The blaze was raging
fiercely, but the car was hurried
through the yards to the vicinity of the
shops. where the brigade of employees
extinguished the flames with the appa-
ratus kept always ready. An alarm
was sent in to the municipal fire COM
to the car was said to be about $3.50.

Selma's Unfinished Buildings.
BY noon tomorrow 1t is expected an
arrangement for the completion of the
city's half finished market house, City
I Hall and Fire Department headquar-
ers will have been made by Mayor At
kins and the Councils Building Com
mittee. of which John G.. Norris is
chairman ana the D0ndSmen OF H. r.
Manly. whose contract for the con-
struction of the edifices has been avoid
ed by the municipal officers.
Monday the ten days term within
which the city required Mr.. Manly to
resume the work he had laid aside ex-
pfred and during that time the over
lures made by each side have failed of
practical results. 1t Is understood that
Mr.. Manly wished an immediate pay
with which Selma Is to pay for the
construction of the buildings. This
overture was rejected by the municipal
itys representatives and counter
proposition that Mr.. Manly receive the
payment asked when he should have
completed the installation of water
works. lighting fixtures and the plas-
slight additional works. 1t is under
stood that is the most liberal Offering
that the city will make.
In all probability. too, the city will
have no more transactions with Mr..
Manly. even through his bondsmen,
with whom directly the ultimate ar
rangements will be made. The con-
tractors bond was in the penalty. of
$4,000 and the city will hold the under
writers of the bond to strict respon-
sibility. The town is willing, however,
to accede to reasonable overtures which
will assure the completion of the build
ings without cost to the city and with
out delay.
August Is is the time limit for ter
mination of the work, and IL Mr. Manly
or his bondsmen can arrange to carry
in accordance with the stipulated ex-
penses. the citv will undoubtedly meet
them amicably on halfway grounds.

tables, fixing decorations and preparing
the masses of food. One side of the
large dining-hall was partitioned rff
and there stood many tables laden with
loaves of bread and stacks of pies.
One table was piled high with celery,
while boxes of apples, oranges, raisins
and nuts were lying around in pro-
fusion. In the kitchen rows Of baking
turkeys, rounds of beef and cooking
vegetables sent UP an aroma through
the outside gratings that whetted the
appetites of the men in line outside
When the doors were opened. after
what seemed an interminaple wait, the
women and children were the first ad-
mitted and the first served. AS the six
long tables seating fifty people each
were filled the noise of the hurrying
mattresses and the clatter of dishes
soon began. This noise was drowned
by the music furnished by the army
band. which added its quota to the
hubbub in the hall.
The dinner was started with a short
prayer by Colonel French, who also
bade the guests welcome in a short
speech, in which he invited them to
eat all they could and take their time
about it. There was small need Of the
advice. Many of the women brought
bags into which they placed fruits and
other eatables, while all the children
left the hall with pockets Dulging with
apples and oranges, nuts and raisins.

At noon yesterday the doors of the
Odd Fellows Hall were thrown open to
waiting hundreds of the poor of San
Francisco by the local branch of the
Salvation Army. From all parts OF the
city came the hungry ones. but prin-
cipally from the vast district that lies
south of Market street.
Long before the hour arrived the line
OF men, women and children grew so
great that it required the presence of
two policemen to keep them in line and
prevent crowding Worn out mothers,
holding tired and pale-looking children
in arms or leading others by the hand,
men in all kinds of torn and frayed
clothing, and many who were COM
PEELED to lean upon canes came halting
and limping to the feast.

after II o'clock and had to wait tlieir
turn while the Others were eating be-
came more and more hungry as they
saw the others departing with glad
dened faces and the little ones noisily
leaving with pockets bulging with good
things foraged from the tables.

rooms elaborate preparations had been
made to feed the multitude. A large

OF Port Arthur to change their po-
sitions. and the Russians requested a
respite Of six hours. which meant Civ
ing the destroyers a benefit OF dark

1t is reported that recently po-
.sitiOns have been captured behind
Liaoti which have cut off the Rus
sian supply bases from the main
force.
Foreign correspondents from Port
Arthur declare that the fortress is the
strongest that was ever attacked and
compare it to SevastopoI. with hills
arranged in mutually supporting
groups, connected by tramways and
telephones and backed bv walls mask
ing the movement of the troops from

other army in the world could have

plans in the office OF d. H. Burnham,
the distinguished architect, who has
been engaged to prepare a scheme for
the Improvement and adornment of the

the extension of the park panhandle to
