on the north by "A lodging house and
on the south by the Planters Ma
tional Bank, one OF the strongest
banking institutions I'm the south, the
fire was IN the heart OF the most
dangerous locality I'm Richmond, and
not until the nremen climbed by
means Of extension ladders TO the
roofs OF adjoining buildings, where
they fought with good advantage,
could any headway be made.
FOUGHT TO SAVE THE BLOCK.
Time and again during the pro-
gress Of the fire, adjoining property
burst forth in brilliant blaze, and
the hremen were forced TO sacrifice
the burning building i'm order to pre-
vent an entire block and millions OF
dollars in property from destruction
The scene among the lodgers in
the lodging house above was one OF
widest confusion Frantic women
screamed for help: some went into
Mysteries. and others tainted and ZEN
helpless I'm the Railways and were
carried unconscious into the streets
There were Rfy lodgers IN the house
when the alarm was given. Imme-
diately in the rear OF the building
was the magazine Of the Richmond
Light Infantry Blues Battalion

powder and So seemed certain that
an explosion would occur.

BNJOYNfENT-BRAZILJAN PO-
LICE PREVENTS VIOLENCE.

Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 20.-Offcers
OF the American feet are keeping
commercially straight faces over an
announcement by the Brazilian po-
lice that only the 1atter's vigilance
prevented an anarchist violence
against the visiting fighting vessels.
Brazilian officials are unquestion-
able very seriously impressed with
it's responsibilities in the matter and
evidently have no doubt that a real
and exceedingly dangerous conspira-
cy exists or existed until the police
broke 1t up. The American officers
and blue jackets and marines are
not allowing the danger TO interfere
with their comfort, and the men are
enjoying themselves today ashore.

New York, Jan. 20.-When the
Thaw trial was resumed today, Mrs.
Evelyn Thaw was the first witness
to be called by District Attorney Je.
rome, who at once renewed his mo-
tion that the public be excluded from
the court room during the time she
will be on the stand. His argument
was very extended and legally tech
nical. Attorney Littleton declares =
that the matter was one for the court
to pass upon without suggestions
from either side. justice Dowling,
in denying Jerome's motion. declared
that the publication OF the details
was a matter for morals for newspa-
per editors, and not for the court
counsel TO pass upon.
The defense won a sweeping vic
tory, when, after Mr.. Littleton began
the examination OF Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw relative to her famous inter
view in Paris, in 1903, In which the
girl confessed to Thaw that she
could not marry him because Of the
alleged wrong done her by Stanford
White. Jerome at once entered
strenuous objections but was over

her TO a house in West Gath street,
