West Palm Beach, Fla, July l.
E. F. McVeigh, of Delray, was serious

very bad, but the fear is that he is
burned internally from inhaling the

Mr.. McVeigh, together with /. H

this city on Sunday in an automobile
and left Cor home about 11:30 o'clock.
When the party arrived at the pine
apple plantation of Captain G.. c.
MatthamS. about one mile from town
the machine gave trouble and its oc-
eUpants stopped to make an investiga-
ton
1t was found that the gasoline tank
was leaking badly, and Mr.. McVeigh
crawled under the automobile to in
yeStigate and while doing so got sat
uratCd all over the upper part o. his
body and arms from the escaping
gasoline. Gardner, who reached IN
der the machine TO help him, had mis-
arms saturated also. In the meantime
Mr.. Blackmer had taken out one of
the lamps on the car and had taken
d position about fifty feet away for
the other lamps on the dutOmobue
and just as McVeigh had crawled out
from under the car tle accumulated
gas in and around the car exploded
with a terrific fash and set the car
on fire and McVeigh and Gardner
were in a blaze.
The other two men threw sand on
the fire and put 1t out. and the four
men started for the city, running most

SIX HOUSES
WERE BURNED
DISASTROUS BLAZE AT PERDIDO
STATION YESTERDAY AFTER
NOON, BLAZE STARTING ON
ROOF BY SPARKS FROM A PASS
ING ENGINE.

Six cottages were totally destroyed
at PerdidO station, in the western
suburbs of the city, yesterday after
noon, and Cor a time it was feared
all of the houses in that section would
be burned The place is out of the
water limits by many blocks, and as
a result the flames spread rapidly from
one house tc another.
The blaze started on the roof of a
cottage occupied by Will Cole, and IS
supposed to have been caused by
sparks from an engine o. the PerdidO
railroad passing. 1t had obtained
good Roadway when discovered, and
as a high wind prevailed the flames
spread very rapidly to adjoining
houses. and within half an hour four
were blazing and later two others
caught. Not only were the houses de-
stroyed, burt in some of the cottages
furniture could not be saved.
The fire department was called out.
but no attmpt was made to run hose
to the place, the fiTemen devOting
their energies towards fighting the
flames with water taken from wells
in that vicinity. They were aided by
residents and succeeded i'm checking
the flames a. they reached the home

Four of ne cottages were owned by

The need of additional fire by
drants in that section % the city was
very clearly shown at this fire. and

ing a petition 10 De presented to the
council requesting that better prOtec-
be afforded their property.

FRIDAY DATE
Of DIG PICNIC
ALL PREPARATIONS COMPLETE
FOR THE BIG EVENT AT BAY
VIEW PARK, AND PROSPECTS
ARE THAT MANY HUNDREDS
WILL ATTEND,

~Old Glory" the fine large park
flag, will wave its welcome to hun
dreds tomorrow at Bayview park,
when PensacOla's first Civic Pride
picnic Will take place. Preparations
for the most part have been satisfac-
torily completed, and the widespread
interest which is being taken in every
detail OF the big event indicates the
decided success which is sure to re-
suit. Every one is pleased and every
one is enthusiastic In fact there has
been no hitch whatever in proceedings
so far, and the third of July will be
a date long to be remembered in the
course of local events.
Plans for the Children.
Parents who for any reason are I'M
able to get away during the entire
day, and who are unwilling to keep
the children away from the day of
enjoyment planned for them, will be
interested to learn that all prepare
ton has been made to care for the
tots, both coming and going, and
while on the grounds. The Pensacola
Electric Company will run cars upon
which young Pensacola may be whirI-
ed to and from the park free of cost
to enjoy day at the resort, which
viii remain one of memory's treasures
long after the day has been forgotten
by their elders. At the grounds they
will be entertained by a committee
appointed for that purpose, the mem
bers of which have already planned
for the list of events which are TO fill
in the day for the youngsters Moth
ing, in fact, has been omitted in this
respect, and there will be scores of
children who will take advantage of
the splendid invitation.
Work Near Completion
After several weeks of work which
has been strenuous enough, when the
mercury has lowered about the 80
mark, each sweltering committeeman
has put the weather entirely out of
consideration, and has been bUSily
engaged in making the plans which
are to be brought into execution to-
morrow. Instead of calling upon the
public for help, each one has shoulder
ed his part of the expense to the ex-
tent of two dollars. This extraordi-
nary act on the part of the commit
teemen should receive all due notice
from the public tomorrow, and gen.
eral recognition made of these efforts
by a large and enthusiastic attend
ance of the City's best people at the
picnic grounds
A Popular Measure.
Probably a more popular suggestion
than that of conducting a general Civ
ic Pride picnic in commemoration of
independence Day has never been
made in Pensacola From the outset,
the right kind of people took hold of
the matter with will. The ides APP
pealed to everyone from a different
standpoint, and results as they pre-
sent themselves justify the splendid
beginning.
Tomorrow the real test of civic
prinde will come, and indications
point toward a most suspicious event.
