CONSOLIDATED NEED NOT
STRENGTHEN ITS BRIDGE

The supreme court today decided that
the New York. New Haven and Hartford
Railroad company cannot be forced TO
strengthen its bridge over Lonsdale ave-
nue. I'm the city of Pawtucket
Judge Mumford. In the superior court
some time ago denied the petition OF the
board of aldermen OF Pawtucket for
writ OF Mandamus to compel the railroad
company 20 strengthen this bridge.
The board took action because the
bridge Is not strong enough for electric
cars weighing between 1900 and 60,O00
pounds; and a franchise for the running
OF cars on the highway over the bridge
had been granted to the Pawtucket Street
Railway company.
IL is admitted that before the railroad
was laid out the declivity over which the
bridge now is was solid ground. The case
is the first conflict between the trolley
companies and the Consolidated railroad
that has reached the courts
The opinion of the supreme court hand
ed down today says
I'VE approve so much OF the decision
OF the superior court as holds that the city
OF Pawtucket has no standing to insist
upon the proposed alterations of the
bridge inquestion. for the reason that.

FIRE IN MILAN.
Heavy Loss to Art Exhibition in Italian
 City.

Heavy Loss to Art Exhibition in Italian City.
 Milan, Italy, Aug. 3.-Ftre which broke out here this morning in the International Exposition, did exten- sive damage. The sections devoted to the decorative arts of Italy and Hun gary were totally destroyed, as also stalled the exhibits of Italian and Hungarian architecture. The damage is estimated at $S00,00o.
 The scene of the connagra- tion was the most active portion of the exposition. The Palace of Dec orative Arts, covering 15,000 square yards and containing 4.000 exhibits, Is a mass of ruins.
 The building was lightly constructed of wood and iron and was highly dec- orated with towers and handsome ent- rances The exhibits, chiefly fine ex- annples of furniture, hangings, house. hold goods and clothing. are total loss The architectural pavilion which was also destroyed contained many ex- hibits of historic value, including the original model of the dome of the Ca thedral of Milan. mary original doc uments referring to Mi1an's famous sci- enlist, Volta, relating to Voltaic cleo tricity and numerous documents referr- ing to Napoleon IL
 Although the fine arts pavilion was saved. many fine paintings were dam aged, being splashed by mud and wa ter while the firemen were hastily car rying them to places of safety.
 Owing to the value of some of the exhibits destroyed, the loss is now es- timated at S2,000. 900 to $3,0o0,000. The building losses are confined entirely to structures within the park.
 The Edison Company's statement that the electric current was cut off last night has caused the authorities to in- vestigate the reports that disgruntled employees who were recently discharged from positions as night watchmen are responsible for the fire.
 Several firemen and carbineers were injured.
 The fire was first discovered at 5 o'clock this morning in the Hungarian section and spread rapidly to the art sections situated in an adjoining park. For a time the Brasswork. Jose and Netherlands sections were threatened, but by energetic work the firemen suc- ceeded in saving them. The tewelry and fine arts sections also were threat eped, but a large force of earbineers carried the pictures many of them of almost priceless value from the gallery of fine arts into the corridors of sec- tions beyond the fire zone.
 The. city was thrown into state of great excitement and vast crowds of people collected about the exposition. The firemen, however, succeeded in saw ing all except the Italian and Hunga- rian sections, although dangerous sparks fell on the German. Persian, Turkish and Chinese sections. At noon the fire was considered to be under control.
 Some of the estimates place the loss as high as $2,400,o00. which probably is excessive.
 The origin of the fire is attributed to an electric short circuit The author lties reject the theory that the confiag- ration was of incendiary origin.

 St. Louis Special.
 For the first time since Governrot Folks famous Sunday closing order St. Louis was absolutely dry today. Some time ago the saloons of the city gave up the fight and the anti-Iid clubs, being driven out of business. thirsty St Louisans were compelled to migrate on Sundays to the country on the east side. Last Sunday the lid went on in East St Louis by order of Mayor Silas Cook. and 1t staid on to- day.
 But rebellious st.

The lid was on so tight that not even an odor of tho special brews could escape.
 At Delmar, the West End Heights the Hunting and Fishing club, and other resorts famous for their stub born delight in raising the lid. every demand for liquid refreshments strong CT than lemonade the thirsty met with the response: Nothing doing.
 It took the crowds some time to real- ize that the order was being risidly en- forced. thanks to the letter sent out last night to all saloons, gardens. and clubs warning them that they must close today This letter was written by Sheriff Herpel and Senator Al Gard ner. general counsel of the St. Louis County Liquor Dealers Association. It Is supposed to have been prompted by the steps Governor Folk has beon talk ing to proceed against the bondsmen of the various resorts which have been lifting the lid.
