Of Wilbur Wright Does Great
Stunt Of Flying in
France

Lemans, France. Aug. S.-Wiibur
Wright Of Dayton, o., made a fight
Of 1-2 kilometres (2.17 miles)
with his aeroplane here this after
noon in three minutes and five sec
onds.
Throughout the fight Mr.. Wright
had perfect control Of the machine.
No attempt was made for a dis
tance record, the only object of the
flight being to try out the aeroplane.
While flying through the air, Wright
demopstrated, or SO 1t appeared to
the spectators, that he was absolute
master Of the ship, first soaring, then
shooting gracefully downward and
then mounting again at will until
fially. after completing two circles,
he came down easily to the earth.

the narrow alley was the row Of brie
blocks on the right Of way Of the
Northern Pacific road. The windows
in the rear of these buildings were
shattered by the heat, and tongues of
flame entered and licked up the inte-
ricr of the Daily Tribune building,
Hare's hardware store and adjoining
buildings. The fury of the flames was
Isuch that almost before efforts could
be made to check them, the entire
row of buildings had melted into
! heaps of brick, twisted girders
and white hot machinery. From the
| south side Of Main street, on which
these buildings were, the intense heat
was communicated to the handsome
brick structures on the north side of
| the street, and the noise of shattered
glass mingled with the crash of fall
ing walls. The Central block, a three
story brick. the frame buildings on
/ the west, and the magnificent First
National Bank building, blazed forth
lurid masses of flame, and the hand
some walls of the brick structures
melted down and faded away with
almost the rapidity Of a kaleidoscope,
and business men and merchants had
barely time after they realized the
doom of their establishments to es
cape with their books and money

trice-what seemed barely more

SION in the freight warehouse, an i'm
mense section of roof was lifted high
into the air, and the flames which had
been checked for a time, leaped forth
with renewed vigor and fury. With
the burning of the buildings on South
Main street, it was seen that the
north side must go, and efforts were
made to save some of the records in
the land office and the surveyor gem
erals office, but although a few were
saved, the greater number were de-
stroyed.
1t Was Ten Years Ago.
The above is the account of the
great fire which appeared in a one
sheet issue of the Tribune August g.
1898. The loss was about half a mil,
lion dollars, and there was about
100000 of insurance. The disaster
was a blessing in disguise, for the
! citizens went to work at once to re
| build the destroyed section. They
| were clearing away the debris be-
| fore the ruins were cool.

were rebuilt. Since that time the

Notes.

the fire contain many interesting

was irresistible. From Main street
the fire leaped over to Broadway. The
Merchants block, another handsome
brick, succumbed to the resistless
violence of the, flames, and the post
office building was soon engulfed in
the frey torrent, The intermediate
frame structures all added their share
to the extent of the conflagration, and

The wind veered slightly to the
southwest and the fire swept on to

Mellen Bank block (where the Trib,

Fourth street. The Kupitz grocery

burst into flames and was speedily

flames, having reached the frame por
