Big Steamer Quilted by Fire.

The Cunard line steamer Lucania
lies submerged at the Hukisson dock,
at Liverpool, seriously damaged, hav-
ing been almost Quilted from her fun
nels forward by fire which broke out
on board the liner at Z o'clock Satur-
day evening. The flames are supposed
to have originated IN the saloon kitch-
en-.
The fire brigade of the vessel, with
two powerful motor engines, turned
out at the first alarm, and found the
first saloon burning fercely from end
to end.
Despite all thier efforts the flames
gradually worked forward until they
areched the steerage, consuming every
particle of the woodwork there. and
then played havoc with the forehold.
At three o'clock Sunday morning it
was decided to flood the vessel by adj
hitting water into her from the dock.
Soon she keeled over and her tunnels
came in contact with the cranes on
nte dock and were badly d,maged.
A fleet of tugs was then brought in
to requistion and pulled the liner up
right apd held her until she settle d
firmly on the mud bottom.

DEATHS.

Thomas Cook. aged "a years, died
at IL 80 g. N. at the Good Samaritan
Hospital, Lexington, from abcess on
liver. The announcement of the death
of this young man cast q gloom over
this entire community, where he was
admired by all for his noble traits of
character and gentlemanly bearing.
He was son of Mr.. I. A. Cook, of
Lexington. and brother Of Mr.. G. P.
Cook. of this city. He was just enter
ing upon promising business career,
possessing all Of the traits that go to
make a successful business man. He
was holding a responsible position with
E. F. Spears & Sons, and highly
thought of by his employers. 1t is in
deed sad when young man, with such
bright and useful life before him as
that before Tom Cock, should be re-
moved by cruel death.
Mr.. Cook was a consistent member
of the Paris Christian Church being
Secretary of the Young Mems Club
and Treasurer. His jovial disposition
and happy smile will be missed from
the circles in which he moved.
The funeral services will be held
this morning at 10 80 pm. at the grave
in the Lexington Cemetery, conducted
by his pastor. Elder Carey E. Morgan
and Bourbon Lodge. No. %, /. D. o.
F., assisted bv Lexington lodges.
All friends of the deceased who at
tend the funeral and who leave Paris
on the 9 80 o'clock interurban car will
be met at Fourth street in Lexington
by carriages.

The Saddle Horse Middle.

In the opinion of many who have
the interest of the American Saddle
horse at heart, the movement which
eliminated in the meeting at the Seel-
bach, in Louisville Saturday is iniur-
ing the future of the industry and the
association. Lawrence Jones, of Louis
vile, is one of those who declares that
every breeder, dealer and admirer of
that breed of horses should fight the
movement. He says General Castle
man will continue at the head of the
association until harmony has been
restored. In the opinion of Mr.. Jones
the present agitation will injure the
State Fair. and he urges that the State
board and other officials have nothing
further to do with it.
General Castleman. president of the
association declared Sunday night that
Messrs. Newman and Cohen have no
more right to call a meeting of the
stockholders of the association than
have to call the shareholders of the
Bank Of England He declares that
those In the movement are conspira-
tors.

MONDAYS GAME.

Tom Digger lost his game to Win
chester as every game that he loses is
lost, by bad support at critical mo-
ments and lack of consistent or timely
hitting behind. He pitched a brilliant
game and outclassed Burden in every
stage of the game, allowing only hits
in the last eleven innings. An error
by Hannigan, difficult chance, and a
miX-up at fist, resulting in Barnett's
bad throw to first and Vandyne's sac
rifce fly to right field scored the win
ming run for Winchester in the thir.
teenth inning. A base on balls. a
sacrifice and hit scored the first run
for Winchester in the fifth. Paris
scored ner lone tally in the first in
ming on Ochs three base hit and Han
nigan's hoI one to Goosetree, which ne
fumbled long enough to score Ochs.
Setback led at the bat. getting three
hits in four times up, while Ochs was
there with triple and single.
Winchester was exceedingly lucky to
get away with this one and will proba-
bly, not protest it. Goodman, Ochs
and Scheneburgl made several pretty
catches in the ont field. FollWOing is
