WATER CAUSED SECOND BLAZE
Disastrous Fire at wilkesbarre, Pa,
 Loss, $500 ,OOO.

Disastrous Fire at Wilkesbarre, Pa,
 Loss, esO0,OOO.
 WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 22,- One of the most disastrous fires that -Aas occurred In this city in some years started at an early hour In the morn ing. and not until afternoon were the firemen able to control the flames. The loss entailed will reach fully $300,000.
 The fire originated in the millinery department on the second floor of the Isaac Long dry goods house, in the Welles building, on the west side of the public square, one of the handsom- est and costlest structures in this city. When first discovered the flames were promptly controlled by the flremen in less than one hour.
 A second fire broke out in the base. ment of the building about an hour after the first one had been subdued. A careful investigation was made by experts, who declare the fire was first caused by the crossing of two electric wires. The water used in the quench- ing of the first flames followed some of the wires into the basement of tho building, where short circuit was formed, causing flash from a large dynamo, which started the second 6rs among some lnhammable dry goods stored there. which spread with great rapidity, and before the general alarm could be sounded the entire building was a mass of flames.
 Of the Isaac Long store there was nothing left. The building was . five story brick and stone structure sup. posed to have been hreproof.
 The principal losses are: Edward welles. on building, S75.O00: the Isaac Long dry goods house. s155.0 900; Chris. tian Walter shoe house. S2O.000. and Herman Engel, jeweler. $15.0O0.

AN IDAlN HEROINE.
shoshsne Woman Rsceivss Iasdy
 Recognition for Services.

rho Lewis and Clark exposition pays honor to brave woman, an Indian squaw. whose untiring aid was of greatest benefit to the intrepid explor- CTS that made the famous journey across the wide continent . century ago.
 The womans name is Sacajawea, pro- nounced Sak-ah-ja-we-ah, the accent on the fourth syllable. Concerning the importance of the part played by her in the expedition, writer declares: "SacaJawea, or Tsakakawea, as some authorities write her name. was the bird woman who guided Lewis and Clark across the mountains and who, on several occasions, aided the explor- CTS when all hope of ever seeing the ocean seemed lost. Next to Jefferson. who sent them, 1t is Sacajawea who guided them, who the exposition man. agers think deserves to be eulogized with Lewis and Clark"
 u Is a rather tardy recognition this country is bestowing on this woman, but graceful recognition; though late. noble tribute. An heroic bronze sta-

GIVE BEST
 SERVICE.
President nellen's
 Statement.
Steam Will Take the Place of Third Rail for Same Fare and Same Sched- ule.

Hartford, Conn, May 22.-Gen Henry c. Dwight of the Hartford board of trade Is in receipt of letter from President Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad con- pany in which 1t ds stated that the company proposes to give steam ser vice over the present third rail line equal to that which has been in force with electric traction. The letter fol- lows:
 Henry c. Dwight Esq.
 Hartford, Conn. My Dear Sir:
 Your favor of the 10th of April was duly received, and had consideration at the meeting of the board of directors on the 18th inst
 It is my impression that you are not fully advised regarding the plans of the company, and that you may under stand what ds in contemplation we beg to state as follows:
 Under the discOnHnuance of the third rail service, an equivalent service by steam is to be established, taking the place as near as may be of the existing electrical service, and at the same rate of fare.
 This means, therefore. there will be no diminuton of accommodations, or change in fare, but that substantially the same service will be peri lrmed only by cars hauled by steam locomo- lives.
 We are preparing to use the equip ment that has lately been transferred from our line between Harlem river and New Rochelle for the service; it is good, unobjectionable in every way; the trains will make practically the same rate of speed; the same rate of fare will be charged and trains will run with the same rate of frequency as with the electric car~service.
 With this information at your com mand are you still prepared to say that the discontinuance of the third rail service is of serious importance? Yours truly,
 (Signed c. s. MELLEN.

American Boat Atlantic is Flying Across the
 Ocean.

New York. May 22.-Tlle American yacht Atlantic, one of the contestants in the transatlantic race for the En- peror Williams cup was sighted late Saturday night, 690 miles due east of Sandy Hook. She was heading east and with fine weather and fresh west southwest wind and was making lit tie better than seven and half knots an hour. The Atlantic was sighted by the steamers Cedric,' Minnetonka and Npordam. Marconi wireless messages were sent from all these steamers to the Associated press. To have reached the point at which he was sighted the Atlantic must have averaged more than POO miles per day, or more than eight knots an hour.
 The following telegrams were re- ceived by the Associated Press. They were transmitted from the steamers by Marconi wireless to the Marconi sta- tions on Long Island and Nantucket and thence to New York.

tue of the heroine Is to stard In tho center of Columbia court, which is the central plaza of the exposition. The statute, which cost $7.000, was execut- ed by . woman. Miss Alice Cooper, of Denver.
 And speaking of this monument to a member of the red race. reminds there is evidence that far and wide artists and sculptors are making haste to preserve the intensely interesting fragments of history of the Indians, are living the half-primitive life with them that they may catch the spirit of this strange people. now fast fading away. Miss Cooper had for her model Shoshone girl, for member of this tribe was >Sacajawea.
 The way she happened to be mem Der of the Lewis and Clark expedition is as follows: Captured as a girl by the enemies of the Shoshones. the Min tares or Blackfeet, she was sold by the captors to Charbonneau. a French-Ca- madam voyageur, and became one of his three slave wives. Charbonneau became attached to the expedition as interpreter. and Sacajawea accompa- nied her master.
 From Fort Mandar. where Charbon- neau joined Lewis and Clark in the toilsome journey up the Missouri, Sac ajawea not only drudged patiently. but early rendered the party valuable services. At one time. with her hus- band and child travelling in canoe that held the scientific instruments. valuable papers and medicines. the canoe was caught in the rapids and be- gan to fill with water. The Indian wo- man. who saw the papers floating out on the water. rescued them before she turned attention to her child. This was the first notable instance of the courage and presence of mind that dis tinguished her long period of service with the explorers.
 The fact that she was a Shoshone helped the party immensely when they came into the country of these Indians. Sacajawea immediately made friends with the squaws and recognized the chief as her brother There was mu- tual recognition and joy. and the stran- gers were treated most hospitably by the Sbo-Sn~~-
 Tn . time of lack of food, she gave Lewis . piece of bread she had saved for her baby, The annals of white mans history presents no more vivid story of sacrifice of heroine for hero. May the Indian woman henceforth share with the sturdy captains the glory of their exploit. as she shared with them the dangers and the tolls of the Journey and the piece of bread she had saved for her babe"
 On the return journey Sacajsvea tvice directed the pavfy when every one else vas lost: she showed Capt. Clark the way out of the Ross hole on July (. Jsos. and piloted him over the Foreman pass to the Yellowstone.
 At the close of the expedition the captains gave Charbonneau $500 for his asrvicss: sscajavea received nothing. ~eecajsvea lived on with her husband tAe old life that she had been accus- toned to- Fron having been the nov fng spirit of an expedition which made its leaders fanous aIl over the world. ed vhieh rssuIfsd in . vast acguisi- e1nn fse ths c0mfry thsy Dsrvsd- sAs numms ouo uuo tns s1uvo v11A~

Chicago Strike to spread-Can Fer
 Troops Imperative.
 CHICAGO, May 22.-The strike of the teamsters instead of being declared off will be spread to greater propor- tions. This was decided by the mem bers of the teamsters' joint council, which held a lengthy session.
 The council met to hear the report of the negotiations that had been in progress with the employers through out the day. They agreed to all the stipulations of the employers with the exception of that which declared that the drivers of the express companies should not be taken back. This was the rock upon which the peace pro gramme was wrecked, and after a very lengthy debate 1t was decided that the Teamsters' union could not leave the express drivers to make a lone fight. but must stand by them. It was decided to call of all the negotia- tions and prepare for further fight.
 Sheriff Barrett said after being in formed of the action of the teamsters' joint council:
 Tt simply means that the troops will have to be called. We have found 1t difficult to maintain the peace with 'ti1e forcc of police and deputies we have, and now that there is a pros pect of so much greater body of men going out protection by the troops will become imperative"
