out in the steeple, where workmen were

less than forty minutes from the time
the fire started. The flames communi-
Gated with adjoining buildings, several
of which burned so rapidly that the
fire seemed to get out of control.
A department store occupying three
buildings was gutted. When the steeple
fell the thousands of people who had
gathered in the streets gave vent to
groans that were audible above the
roar of the flames.
In all twelve houses were entirely de-

were damaged.
Twenty persons are missing. The fire
watchman who lived in the steeple
sounded an alarm but his retreat was
cut off. Three workmen were injured,
two of them dangerously.
At late hour tonight the fire was

NEW YORK, July 3.-No news of any
kind has yet been received of the Fabre
line steamer America, which sailed from
Marseilles June for this city, carrying
ITO passengers and forty men compris-
ing the crew.
Apprehension for the safety of the
steamer was expressed in shipping cir

The steamer agents, however, explain
that she likely has become disabled by
a breakdown of her machinery or the
loss of her propeller.
1t was June II when the steamer
left the Azores and she should have
come into port here in nine days with
good weather. Twenty-Five days have
passed and no vessel arriving from
Mediterranean ports has sighted the
America.
The anxiety as to the fate of the
steamship was increased today when it
was learned from the photographic
bureau that a derelict had been for
some time directly in teh paths which
the America would take after leaving
the Azores.
1t is the dismasted steamer Lizzie
Chadwick which was reported in lati-
tude 3S, longitude 3S, on June T. point
about 400 miles due west from the
Azores, and directly on the course to
New York.

PORTLAND, July S.-Not since the
memorable July %, 1891, when the ther-
mometer set the summers record in
Portland at 102 degrees, has this city
suffered from the heat as it has today
when the mercury, according to the
government weather bureau at 8
O'Clock, reached 1O1 degrees.
The intense heat of the day continued
well along into the night and without
giving the heated buildings and pave
ments a chance to cool broke cloudless
and well before noon the heat became
insufferable.
Early in the afternoon the street ther-
mometers indicated 100 degrees and by
4 o'clock the temperature was easily
101 degrees in the business section of
the city. The usual holiday trade was
perceptibly less than in previous years,
every person who could avoid or post
pone it, refraining from the transac-
tion of business.
The weather forecast is for cooler
weather tomorrow and by 6 o'clock the
sky has begun to cloud up.
No prostrations were reported today,
though several fanited from heat and

riage with a physician many years her

The marriage at the time created a

that the title does not in any way refer
