Caused by Careless Smoker. II
The fire which led to the accident
started under the flooring Of the span
over the log channel, east Of the pom
toon section, and probably was caused
by burning cigar stub carelessly
thrown so that it fell beneath the
planks. The flames seized the dry wood,
and famed by a strong wind burned
fiercely and swept rapidly onward.
The whistle of the ,pontoon bridge

HEIR TO ITALY'S
THRONE IS BORN
Royal Infant Title Will Not
Lead to Clash with
Vatican.

Racconigi, Italy, Sept. 16.-Queen
Helena was safely delivered of a son
at IL o'clock last night at the royal
palace. Both mother and child are do
ing well.
The infant has received the name Of
Humbert and the title Of Prince Of
Piedmont.
The majority of the people approve
the action of King Victor Emmanuel
in not choosing the title Of Prince of
Rome for the heir to the throne, as it
would have mixed the royal family IN
party struggle and would have en-
FILTERED the conflict between church and
state at time when the pope seems
to be leaning toward moderation. It
is believed that the title chosen, that
of Prince of Piedmont, will become fixed
for all time for the Italian crown prince,
as is the title Of Prince Of Wales in
England.
TO celebrate the birth Of the heir
the king has granted amnesty to all
deserters and has also shortened by six
months the terms Of imprisonment for
certain crimes.
King Victor Emmanuel has received
the -warmest congratulations thruout
the kingdom and also most cordial dis
patches from Emperor Nicholas, EN-
peror William, President Loubet, King
Edward and Emperor Francis Joseph.
The queen Of Rumania sent Queen Hell
ena poem on the event. The infant
prince will be baptized by Cardinal
Richelmy, archbishop Of Turin, and will
be christened Humbert. 81 .-.-.-ss

blocked while the wrangle lasted.
Finally the finder exclaimed disgust
