BOYISH CURIOSITY
CAUSES SMALL FIRE
s. p. Freight Depot Suffers When EN-
pIoye Applies Lighted Match
to Some Gasoline.

ROSEBERG, Ore, Sept. 30.-The
boyish curiosity of Charles Cladbourne,
a young baggageman, was responsible
for a fire this afternoon that did slight
damage to the southern end of the
Southern Pacific depot, in this city.
Observing some fluid on the top of a
gasoline tank that had been unloaded
at the depot, he became curious to
know whether it was gasoline or water.
Ignoring the advice of other persons,
he applied lighted match to the fluid,
which proved to be gasoline, and in an
instant a mass of flame shot out in all
directions, igniting the wall of the
building.
Responding quickly to the alarm that
ed by railroad employees. extinguished
the fire after few minutes work. The
fire ragged around a quantity of boxed
infiammable liquids. but fortunately
this was not ignited. The damage.
which is confined exclusively to the
building will not exceed $50.
Young Chadbourne is about II
years of age. He came here from
Drain. his home, about one month
ago.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Unless Sen

seems pretty definitely settled that the
democratic city convention which will
meet at Carnegie hall, this city, this
evening, will nominate Judge William
j. GaynOr for mayor of New York.
1t is quite likely that if McCarren
protests Bliss Charles f. Murphy of
Tammany hall will force the nominal

Gaynor, however, is not the only man
nominee to succeed Mayor Mcclellan.
Justice Victor Bowling, whose record
is an excellent one, is man whose
name is on the lips of many of the big
men of the party and in case the Gay

may get the place, while Judge Gaynor
will be reserved for the gubernatOrlal
contest a year hence.
Judge DoWlin3a would draw well with
