GRAIN ELEVATOR FIRE

 Fire q Early Msrn st Rich ier6 Vermont.

Richford, Vt, Oct S.--The ruins of the grain elevator which exploded and burned yesterday, causing the death of more than dozen employees, were burning too fiercely at dawn to- day to permit start being made in search of the bodies of the victims, but careful canvass among those who escaped indicated that the death list had been increased to fourteen as Elmer Draper, foreman, could not be found. Early to-day the residence of E. H. Grice, close to the ruins, caught fire and was destroyed. bring ing the total loss from the elevator fire to about $425,000.
 The walls of the elevator did not fall last night and lowered menacing- ly over the scene. The morning breeze, however shook the charred timbers and just before daylight they tumbled over with laundering crash and once more the ruins were afiame. No one was injured, however, and all that could be done was to wait until the fire, which had plenty of fuel in the great quantity of oats, corn and wheat. burned itself out.
 Wrecking crews arrived during the day to clear the tracks adjoining the scene, but little progress could be made because of the continued burn ing of the grain.
 A part of the e@bers had cooled sufficiently during the forenoon to enable search to be begun and very soon one charred form was found. The clothing had been burned com pletely oil, so that there was very little that could lead to an identifi- cation.

Thereupon Jus tice. Mills declared that he would name two experts to ex. anime Thaw as to his sanity be- tween to-day and Saturday and set tie the case upon their report on Mon- day.
 The trouble began when Jerome declared that unless Justice Mills transferred the case, he Jerome would take no part in 1t. He declar- ed that Thaw was dangerous para. noiac and since his incarceration al Matteawan had threatened to take his own life.

CITY HALL QUARTERS
Rooms New OeeBpIsd Dy Al1tr.' men Hsy Bs Used Dy lbs ,
 Assesssra

There is 8 lot of merit in tho proposition to change the Quarters of the assessors to the aldermanic chamber and have the aldermen meet in the city court room. The city court never sits at night and the Al-I dermen never meet in the day time, SO that there is not the least reason why one body should interfere with the other. The place now used by the assessors would make a very de- sirable ante room for the aldermen and for committees of that board who might want to use it from time to time. Under the present arrangey ment the aldermen have no place where a committees of that board can meet in the day. time, except by permission of some ok the clerks in the hall, the alderman ic chamber being occupied days by the comptroller and his assistants, the indexers and the town clerk, SO that really it would seem that the change would be welcomed by the aldermen, for it would give the mem- bers of that board room that they could drop into any time during the day or evening. It would be Cod send. too, for the assessors and their clerks to get out of that small room with one window only, and surely the public would appreciate the op- portunity the new order of things would give them to talk with the assessors without being stared at by everybody who happens to be there when they. are listing their property. These changes would cost but few dollars and would ga la long way towards relieving the crowded condition of things so long complained of in the City hall, and especially in the assessors office.

Mir Taft, having delivered speech at the opening of the deep waterways convention in the forenoon, went to Galesburg, III, to deliver another ad- dress during the afternoon and re- turned to Chicago last night, after the banquet was well under way.
 An ear-splitting shout gave warn ing of the arrival of MT Taft. MT Bryan in common with every one else, rose and looked toward the entrance. huge frame, moving like ship among swarm of tugs, came slowly up the narrow aisle between two tables. Those at a distance occasion ally could catch glimpse of smil- ing face acknowledging greetings. MT Bryan turned his head slowly as his political rival drew near, smiling pleasantly.
 The meeting which had been ar- ticipated with so much interest was soon over. A single lingering pres. sure as MT Bryan shook hands with MT Taft and a whisper which none could hear, because of the tumult, and the republican candidate passed on to a chair at the right of Chair man Hall. The cheering continued for minute or So after those at the speakers table had taken their seats. At the first moment the noise subsid- ded MT Bryan, leaning one side and smiling broadly, asked MT Taft if he had had good day. This display of I lfriendliness on the part of the two candidates stirred the crowd to re- newed cheering and words were nse- less in the din. MT Taft stroked his throat for answer and the applause increased.
 What is the matter with Bill?' cried some one in stentorian tones.

 Who's all right?"

The Cubs Arrive.

New York, Oct S.-The Chicago National league baseball team reached the Grand Central station at 9:25 a. m. to-day-fiye minutes ahead of time, on the Twentieth Gen. tury Limited express over the New York Central. Their trip from Chicago was uneventful, and the players were in fine condition and cheerful spirits, looking forward eagerly to the supreme battle of this afternoon. They went at once to the Hotel Somerset, where they will make headquarters during their stay in this city.
 They were welcomed at the station by large crowd of baseball enthh- siasts. newspaper men, photogra- phers and waiting passengers, and received a cordial cheer.

 The batting order of the New York team was announced as follows: Penney 1b, Herzog 2b. Bresnahan c, Donlin If. Seymour Of. Devlfn 3b, Mccormick If, Bridwell ss, Mathew son p.
 Manager McGraw said to-day that he had no thought of any outcome of the game but victory for New York.
 President Murphy of the Chicago team said there was no question in his mind as to the outcome of the game this afternoon. He already had predicted that Chicago would win by score of s to 3, he said, and he was standing by that prediction. "The boys were never in such a con- dition of fitness as they are today.
 While I have no bitter feelings against McGraw, I am strong in my assertion that if the tie had to be played of It should have been settled by series of three games.
