The battle Of Guilford Court House was

for Lord CORVALLIS, as the British were
left in possession Of the field. 1t was a

FIRE THREATENS OLD MARKET.
Five-stOry Structure on East River
From of NeSx York Rurna

New York, Sept 1-For nearly four
hours to-day the FIRE department fought
blaze that destroyed the five-story
brick structure extending from 427 TO 4Sz
East 102d street, and occupied by H.
Jacobs & Sons, manufacturers of leg
gings. CATERS. and sandals. Flames were
sweeping through the entire building be-
fore the first engine arrived.
Jacobs factory was right ia the heart
Of the old Harlem market, and until the
fireboat Zohpar Mills steamed up and got
her sianese connection with eight pipe
lines into play, it looked as if the old
market was doomed.
The east end of the factory faced on
the river. and while the firemen fought
the blaze from every point of vantage, il
seemed that they would hardly be able
to prevent it from spreading to the low
buildings that surrounded it. The power
full streams from the freboat, however,
drowned out the flames, but the east and
| north walls toppled over.
Ferdinand Fraringa, a Waterman. told
the police that he had made a complete
round of every floor at O'Clock, and
found everything Q. K. Fifteen min
utes later he heard an exposition that
occurred on the third floor, followed by
sheets Of flames which shot from the
windows
There has been a strike on in Jacobs
factory, and at first the police were in
clined TO believe that the fire was started
by an incendiary in sympathy with the
strikers. An investigation was made by
the detectives of the East 10th street
station and the fire marshal. but nobody
was able to say what caused the explO-
| sion which started the blaze.
| The inmates of the House OF Refuge on
Randalrs Island, which is directly oppo-
site, were ct breakfast when the fire
started. The superintendent sounded the

There is good reason to believe that
Governor Folk of Missouri is a great
man. There is a greater reason to be-
lieve that Governor Deneen of this state
is not. The following editorial from
the Freeport Journal is significant:
THE laws of the state of Illinois
ought to be enforced in the city of
Chicago precisely in the same way that
they are enforced in the city of Free,
port, and in all the cities of the state
because they are state laws and should
be enforced alike in all parts of the
state. The special charter was defeat
ed more than two to one on Sept II in
Chicago, 59,5S1 for the charter and
121,479 against the charter.
Chicago is still a part of the state
Of Illinois, and the laws of the state
of Illinois should be enforced in Chi
cago i'll the same fashion that Governor
Folk of Missouri enforces the laws OF
that state in st. Louis and Kansas
City"
