HALF MILLION LOSS BY FIRE.
Pullman Cars Burned and One Boy
Killed In Wilmington Blaze.

Wilmington. Del, Jan. I9.-Fire early
this evening licked up forty-hve newly
finished Pullman cars and resulted in
the death of one boy, causing a prop
erty loss Of more than $500 000. The
Pullman plant here is second in size Of
the Pullman plants throughout the
country. The fire tonight consumed
one of the largest buildings. and only
the most desperate work on the part Of
the firemen saved the entire ten acres
Of shops. with their $50 cars. from de-
Ctructian.
Supt Cannon says the fire originated
in subsidiary paint room. and was in
all probability due TO spontaneous
combustion. Gas tanks aboard the
burning cars exploded while the flames
were at their height. but as far as
known no one was injured by them
The boy who lost his life was ran down
by an express train while lighting the
flames from the elevated structure Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
which passes the Pullman plant
il was the largest FIRE Wilmington
has had for ten years. and the second
time the Pullman plant has been de-
stroyed within that period.

MORE BAD LUCK
At ABERDEEN

The absence of McKune from
shortstop seems to have crippled
the Indians worse than first be-
lieved. Terry is strength in him
self in the short field position and
the confidence inspired by his 'ac-
curate throwing goes long way in
holding the team steady.
= But yesterday! Having every
right to win and by the dope sched-
Hled to win. Spokane lost to Aber-
deem 5 to 6. 1t was tough game
to lose even had the best of base
ball been played. Tramp Osborne,
the lean gentleman from the
swamps somewhere in the south,
pitched for the Indians and the
best the lumberjacks could get off
his delivery were stingy singles.
On the other hand -Tonneson for
Aberdeen as good as threw the
game away and Higginbotham was
sent in the eighth to pull the game
out of the Goals. Carney ticketed

CHINESE SPEND
MILLIONS

SAN FRANCISCO, May g.
Chinatown is practically rebuilt
and, in much less than a year the
oriental quarter, famed all over the
world, will show not sign Of the
great fire year ago, which RACED
it completely. More than 259 new
brick buildings. the average cost
of which is $4,000, are already up
in the section bounded by Stock
ton. Pacific. Kearny and Sacrament
to SITS. 1t is conservatively estl-
mated that $5,000,000 has already
been spent in Chinatown's recon
struction and this not hal of what
the total outlay for this purpose
will represent. A joss house when
will cost almost a million Is con-
templated under the supervision OF
the Chinese consul. A great part
of this sum will be spent for hang
ings and altar decorations for the
new temple. A modern theater with
seating capacity Of 1000 people
and costing $45 600, is being erect
ed on the site of the old Washing
ton st. playhouse, and 2 Chinese
restaurants which will cater only
to wealthy Chinese and tourists
are soon to be completed. The I'M
derground pesthouse, filth and
squalor of the old Chinatown can
never be repeated, but the new or
iental city will be more picturesque
and interesting to travellers than
ever

O'bR|EN FIGHT
LOOKS FAKEy

Another fakey fight was pulled
off in Los Angeles last night by
Thos. McCarey Tommy Burns and
Jack O'Brien were allowed to race
around ring for 20 rounds, O'Brien
setting the pace and Burns follow
ing and begging O'Brien to fight.
couple of old women with their
feet caught in their skirts would
have put up a better exhibition
than either Burns or O'Brien. The
whole game looked framed from
the gong. Burns did all the fight
ing-all that was done, for the rest
of the time he was chasing the 9TH
er fellow.
Los Angeles sports were almost
grabbed for the whole bankroll.
O'Brien was a hot favorite, 10 to Z.
1t was evident from the start that
the battle was cut and dried affair
and consequently the McCarey out
fit ordered all bets off. The frame
up looked too thin to put through,
so McCarey does his high moral
specially again, gets in strong with
some of the sports who take him
seriously, and will tomorrow begin
to frame up another sort of battle
with the same end in view as he
had with the Burns-O'Brien fiasco.
The calling off of the betting in
Los Angeles will not effect the bet
ting here, although the O'Brien end
will holler for it. A decision was
1nrnI oiui,, thn "A uht in,
20 rounds, and fake or no fake,
Burns has won and those who bet
on him are entitled to their money
regardless of what action was done
in Los Angeles.
