SI,OOO,OOO FIRE.
Grand Opera House and Seven
Other Buildings Burned
In the Center Harrisburg Busi-
ness District.
"A LOSS OF $25, 900
Sustained by the Company Play
ing in the House.
Sensational Rescue Of an Actor
From the Theatre.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 1.-Eight
buildings in the center of the business
district of this city were either de-
stroyed or badly damaged by fire
early this morning involving loss
estimated at $1.0OO,0OO. The Grand
opera house block in which were five
stores was destroyed and nothing re-
mains standing but the walls. The
Duncan building, on the opposite side
of Third street, occupied by three
stores and a pool room, was also oe-
stroyed. The Park hotel and the Col
umbus hotel were badly damaged by
fire and water. The United Telephone
company building, the Security Trust
building, the Bijou theater. Roshon,
photograph studio, College block, the
Harrisburg Gas company building and
the buildings occupied by the Harris
burg Cycle and Typewriter company,
E. C. Hoover, jeweler, and others,
were also damaged.
The fire started from an explosion
block at o'clock. Within an hour it
had destroyed the playhouse and
stores in the building and had leaped
across to the west side of Third street
to the Columbus hotel and College
block The opera house was owned
at the southeast corner of Third and
Walnut streets, facing Capitol park.
At the southwest corner was the Dun
can building, adjoined on the west by
the Columbus hotel and the telephone
building. The hotel was ruined by
fire and water, involving loss of $780,
600.
The damage to the telephone build
ing will not exceed $4,000.
The Park hotel was also owned by
the Harrisburg syndicate. The dam
age to the other buildings and their
contents was caused principally by
water.
The wardrobe and scenery of the
Charles K. Champ1in Stock company,
which was playing at the opera house
this week, was destroyed, the loss be-
ing about $25,

PEOPLE MOVE OUT
Two Feet of Water in Northern
Suburb of Memphis.
Levee Gives Way and the River
Is Still Rising.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. MANY people
are moving from their homes in the
northern part of this city as result or
a break in the protection levee built
by the city of Memphis one year ago.
The Ievee gave way early today ana
the district north of Poplar boulevard
and west of Fourth street, is now under
two feet of water. If the river reaches
a stage of Al feet, which seems today
probable, a larger area near the busi-
ness portion of the city Will feel the
effects of the flood.
Advfces from Marion, Ark, this
morning state that the levee at Holly
bush remains intact, although break
is expected at any hour. The water is
tapping the top of the structure and a
large force of men is engaged in
strengthening the weaker places. Should
a crevasse occur at Ho1lybush the en-
tire st. Francis basin in Arkansas would
receive the rush of waters
At Helena the main levee remains in
tact. The northern part of that city
is flooded from the break in the aux
idary levee which occurred yesterday
and people living in that section have
been housed elsewhere.
A steady rain was recorded in the
vicinity of Memphis last night. The
river this morning marks 39.S feet
Later today small levee protecting
the section between Overton and Con-
cora StTeelS, IuIS anu NlIA-
in short time Third street, north of
Auction street, was inundated.
Probably 100 families, mostly ne
groes. have been removed from the
flooded section. &
The Beale and Lane avenue car line
has suspended operations in the north
ern part of the city.
The yards of several lumber COM
panies in North Memphis have been
flooded and much lumber has f1oated
away.
Word has been received of drown
ing. through capsizing of skiff, yes
terday of six negroes in the back wa
ter of the Forked Deer river.
Filled With Blocks of Ice.
Charleston, Mo-, Feb. 1.-The over
flowed Mississippi river, which is filled
with great blocks of floating ice, has
swept away two residences and the
school house at Dorent, a village %
miles south of here. 1t is not known
whether there was loss of life. Dorent
is off the railroad.

ABOLISHPROBATEC ECOURT
Kansas Bar Association Favors This
Action by Legislature.

Contrary to all precedents established
at former meetings of the State Bar
association the adjournment was not
called last evening following a two days
session but was continued throughout
today, the third day.
The inability to complete the discus
sion on the proposed revision of the
civil code procedure within the stated
time is the occasion for the delayed
adjournment which was not taken un-
til late this afternoon. All of the morn
noon was spent in this manner and the
final consensus of opinion was that the
revised code should not be passed by
the legislature at this session. The
change is too important one to rush
through hastily.
Late Thursday afternoon a motion
was introduced recommending that the
legislature abolish the probate courts
and undoing all of the work of revision
of that code on which the association
had spent the forenoon and a major
which was introduced to enlarge the
scope of the probate court was respon-
sible for bringing out the motion to
abolish the probate court entirely. The
lawyers felt that to enlarge the scope
of the court would be a fatal mistake
due to the fact that large proportion
of the probate judges of the state are
untitled for anything higher than JUS
tice of the peace duties. The recon-
mendation made to the legislature is
that the district court be empowered
to perform the duties usually taken
over by the probate judge. 1t is not
thought that the legislature will follow
out the recommendation, however, at
this time

mer. after wrecking the Real Estate

CALvE HAS COME.
She May Sing for Hammerstein, But
Is Not Sure.

New York, Feb. Under the name
of Maud Nelson, Nine. Calve arrived
here today and registered at a hotel as
Mrs. Brooks. She said later:
II have been wintering in Rome in
absolute retirement. My present plans
are somewhat chaotic, SO indefinite, in
fact, that I really have none at all. 1

sHERIFFs ARE HEARD FROM.
They Object to the Proposed Anti
Pass Bill.

The Kansas State Sheriffs associa-
ton at meeting held in the district
court room last night passed resolu-
t1ons declaring themselves against an
tlpass legislation as far as it affects
the sheriffs of the state. The meeting
was one of the largest ever held by the
association and the attendance indf-
Gates that there will be a warm fight
made by the members against the bill.
They claim that if the bill becomes
a law that it will hamper them in
their attempts to apprehend and cap
ture criminals. 1t is also their con-
tent1on that as they receive on fees
from the railroads for their services
that they are paying for their trans
portation in this way. Many of those
in attendance at the meeting will re-
main in the city in the interest Of the
members of the association until final
action is taken on the bill.

DEEP GORGES MADE.
BY the Earthquake Which Shook tho
Solomon Islands.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 1.-The
solomon islands in the south seas were
visited by a fearful earthquake sew
eral months ago and so heavy was the
force of the trembler that the earth
was opened and deep gorges created.
The entire appearance OF the islands
was changed by the great upheaval, but
as far as can be ascertained there was
no loss of life. The news was brought
here by Gov. c. B. T. Moore. who ar
rived on the Oceanic company 8
steamer Sierra yesterday from Samoa.
He stated that a trading schooner
came into Apia from the Solomon
group shortly before he left for this
country with the news of the trembler
The details brought by the trader were
meager.
1t is deemed probable that the
earthquake that was experienced in
the Solomon islands was the one re-
corded on the seismograph in various
parts of the world.

Baron Freedericksse has been con-
victed by the senate for fraud in con-
nection with the famine relief scan
da1. eedericksse was governor of
Mini Novgorod, and it was charged

governor was accused of allowing
Lidval to lag in the delivery of grain
while continuing to sanction advances
to him of government money. The
senate also found that Freedericksse

imperial household and has stood high

LOOK OUT FOR COLD WAVE.
Mercury VIII Drop to the Zero Mark,
Says Weatherman.

A good many people have been
grumbling and complaining about the
disagreeable weather which we have
had today and for several days pre-
ceding- More cause for complaint is
coming within the next twenty
hours. so the weatherman says. Ac-
cording to the forecast which was re-
ceived about O'Clock this afternoon
there will be a drop in the tempera-
ture of at least twenty degrees. This
will put the mercury in close proximi-
ty to the zero marx. However, this is
not cold wave. as Mr.. Coburn says
such things do not happen in Kansas,
but is a mere change for colder, and
we will probably get colder weather
than at any preceding time this year.
The less said about the weather to-
day the better. 1t has been a grew
some sort of day. SLOPPY underfoot
and dismal overhead, is what has been
in vogue today. The wind blows ten
miles an hour from the northwest.
