FIRE DESTROYS BLOCK
IN SHENANDOAH CITY.
The Thriving City Meets Loss of
S25 ,ooo-origin and Spread
of the Flames

LURAY, Va, Oct. 1O.-The most
disastrous fire in the history of Shen-
andoah City, this county, broke out
in that town at about / O'Clock this
morning, wiping out an entire block
and entaiIing loss of about $4,000.
The fire originated in a house owned
by John Lucas, and soon spread to
adjoining property. The buildings de-
stroyed were the Lucas building, the
hotel run by J. NJ. T. Smith, bar room
belonging to a. w. kincs, bar room
belonging to Abram Tatts the Kaufff-
man Hotel building, owned by John
Lucas, the bar room and pool room
belonging to Short & Lucas, the
Shenandoah Inn, known as the Brown
Hotel; the dwelling house and tin
shop belonging to John Coverstone,
the Merowitz building. which was
bought a few days ago by sIerowitz,
of Hon. John Wanamaker, of Phila-
delphia: the feed store and shoe
maker shop belonging to T. a. Miller
and Thomas SmelZer; the D. w. Wy
ant building, in which restaurant
and pool room was conducted by
Short & Lucas; the Charles Q. Plat
store-house, owned by Jasper Kite,
and a livery stable conducted by S.
Conner. The town is without water
supply, there having been two cleo
tons within the past year for the pur-
post OF installing a water system at a
cost OF $4,000. Those favoring the
system have been successful in both
contests but owing to some techni-
.cality the work had never been be-
gun. Most Of the property destroyed
was insured. 553 rs $ta55 ft

EXPEDITION SAFE
His Plan, If Carried Out, viii Take

North Pole.

DUNDEE, Scotland, Oct. 1o:-A
whaler returned from Davis Straits
brings news of the safety of Captain
Amundsen's Arctic expedition, which.
left Christiania June II, 1903.
Captain Amundsen's expedition has
been described as having for its plir=
pose a task of the highest Importance
in the domain of terrestrial magnet
ism, The plan was to go first to King.
William Land, on the east coast Of
Greenland, and thence proceed for$Be-
ring Strait. If the plan should be car
ried out, it would take the expedition
almost directly across the North Pole.
The vessel on which the expedition
sailed was the Gjoa, 46 tons, yacht
rugged, and having an auxiliary petro-
leum engine, and she was equipped
for four years stay in the Arctic re-
gions.
Captain Amundsen is experienced
in polar explorations, having accom-
panied Gerlach's Antarctic expedition
in 1S9799 as first officer of the Bel
gica. After his return Aundsen con
suited with Professor Neumayer, of
