FIRE AT PORT LIMON
COSTA nrcAN PORT SUFFERS ssoo,-
 GO Loss.
FIames supposed to Have Been of Ens eendiary OrIEin---Natfves
 Badly Fright

Mobile, Oct. 1.--{Special. )--Capfain Aamot, of the Norwegian steamship Bertha engaged in the fruit trade be- tween this port and Costa Rica. brought news here today of a disastrous fire at Port Lrnon, Costa Riea, last We'd nesday morning. The loss Is estimated, according to Captain Aamot ct $600,- 900.
 The fire started in the district near the market place. and spread through the center of the town to the tracks of the Costa Rfcan Great Northern Railway near the beach.
 It Is believed that the fire was of incendiary origin, as another one waa discovered Sunday night in practically the same place. but the flames were extinguished without any serious dam age.
 The shops burned were of the one story variety, and were owned mostly by the natives and Chinanen. v shs United Fruit Company was the only foreign cosnpany to suffer any loss. theirs being estimated at $i5.000 by the burning of warehouse.
 There was no water supply at the time, the system which supplies the city in such emergencies having been out of commission for the last six months. A suction pump which supplies the city in such emergencies also failed to work.
 Captain lAamot says three negroes were burned to death. The natives were of no assistance in fighting the flames, even though they were urged at the point of bayonets and clubs.
 Railway. tracks on the water front, and shipping escaped the flames.

t4a .t1
 Baker City, ore. Oct. f.--.An attempt was made at io:so o'clock last night to assassinate former sherin Harvey K. Brown at his home in this city by blowing him up with a dynamite bomb.
 MT. Brown is in the hospital in a critical condition. One of his legs was blown off. one of his arms badly mutiiated. besides internal injuries, caused by the concussions. The out. rage is similar in manner to that which resulted in the death of former Governor Frank Steunenberg at Cald- well, Idaho.
 Mir. Brown was returning home and as he opened his gate the bomb ex- ploded, .wounding MT Brown and blowing in the windows of his house. The explosion was heard in the cen- ter of the town. half a mile away. The Chief of Police and county author ities are wholly unable to fathom any cause for the deed and they are also wholly unable to obtain any cIew to the perpetrators of it.
 Immediately after the explosion . neighbor of Mfr. Browns heard some men running north from the direc- tion of the Brown house. It is thought that Mir. Brown had some idea of the identity of the men who perpetrated the outrage. for he was heard to nut ter just before lapsfng into uncon-. sciousness: They have laid for me and they got me-" Mir. Brown be- came unconscious a few moments larer and said nthing that would give any clue to the identity of the assassfns.
 Mrs. Brown Is prostrated by the shock and the physicians fear she will not recover. Mir. Brown while sher- if of Baker County, was diligent Tn enforcing the law against saloon men and gamblers.

Hearing Resumed.

Raleigh, N. C., Oct, 1.-The hearing in the southern Railway rate case was resumed today before special master Montgomery. The examination develop ed a purpose to show that travel on the Southern Railway. particularly on trains running out of Greensboro, was very heavy and beyond the capacity of the trains to handle with comfort and also that travel had increased very much since the two and one-fourth cent rate law went into effect, The testimony of witnesses thus far has been in support of this theory.
