SPECTACULAR FEATURES
OF A GREAT FIRE
Loss in Philadelphia Last Night Was
$750,Ooo--It Was Probably of In
eendiary Origin.

Philadelphia, Nov. IA spectacular
fire that was marked by many thrill.
ing incidents destroyed the lumber
yards of X. A. & j. J. Williams in the
northwestern section of the city last
night, entailing a loss estimated at
S150,o00. Tire yard is on rectangu-
isr piece of ground at Glenwood and
Sedgely avenues and Cumberland, York
and Twenty. second streets and close
beside the tracks Of the Pennsylvania
railroad. As a result of the fierce blaze
southern and western trains were held
up several hours causing great incon.
vsnience. A line Of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit company esosses Glen
wood avenue also at the scene Of the
blaze. This bridge caught fire and the
heat warped the rails so that traffic
vas tied up on the line.
While the fire was in it's incipiency
Harry Wilkinson, a fireman, drove
engine No. As into the yard
between the big piles Of lumber The
flames ate their way around tine engine
and Wilkinson and companion mar
rowly escaped with their lives. They
could not get the apparatus away from
the flames and both horses were burned
to death. Wilkinson was seriously
burned trying to save the animals.
1t is believed the fire was Of incen-
diary origin.

night.

New York. Nov. 3.--The morning OF
the presidential election found both par
ties expressing confidence in the result,
the Republicans maintaining their claim
of 1925 electoral votes, and the Demo-
Gratis setting their figures at 1893, each
far more than enough to elect the party

their homes last night to cast their bal
lots, Mr.. Hitchcock at West Newton,
Mass, and Mr.. Mack in Buffalo. Botn

in the beginning, but think that the
way in which the work has been done

Before leaving for Buffalo last night,
Chairman Mack at Democratic national
headquarters gave out a final statement
claiming victory for Bryan and Kern.
He asserted that New York state would
give the national ticket plurality Of
10000, and that Ohio and Indiana would
surely go Democratic. He declared thas
the party would carry most Of the other
doubtful states and in addition would
carry some states that they have no.

1893 votes.for Bryan and Kern. Durne
the day Mr.. Mack talked with Samuel
Gompers and as result OF their confer

main true to the party.
"All that is needed to win" said Mr..

Getting Out Big Vote in Vermont
Polls Opened Here at
10 a. m.

With no particular incentive 10 bring
out the voters the balloting in to-day
presidential election in Barre was rather
slow, and the indications were that a
light vote would be cast. The checklist
contained this year 2,ls0 names. The
duty of voting was simple. there being
nothing but the throwing of single ball
lot for -four presidential electors, and
there were only four tickets in the field
in Vermont, against nine IN many otser
states. The difference was due to tns
failure to file the other Ave tickets.

party, in statement last night, replied
to the charge made by Democratic ma

ton in 1904.
1T was not at all necessary for me
to have been nominated" declared Mr..
Hearst in his statement. q was willing
to support any other progressive Demo.

confidence in Mr.. Bryan prompted him
tc form new party. He added:
"Those who believe as / do have
formed a new party and / declare that
this new party is the only one which
earnestly and sincerely advocates re-
form, and the only one which has in
this whole campaign done anything

dependence party in this campaign. It
has done much for one campaign and

Hampshire and Connecticut have hot
state fights on today and the party
leaders are doing all in their power to

state officers and the legislature began
