BLAZE LAST NIGHT
DOWN In TOWN
HEIGHT a CO., NORTH THIRD
STREET HAVE LOSS.
Fire Ladies' DO Good Work and Soon
Have the Blaze Under Com
plete Control.

The stock Of Hecht & company
115-117 North Third street, whole.
sale clothiers, was damaged by fire
last night about 8 o'clock. The flames
originated in the third fioor and by
good work the fire department pre-.
vented q spread, but the water dam
aged some of the goods on the first
and second floors. Cleaning fluids
containing gasoline, that were left
too near electric irons is suspected as
the cause of the blaze. Before the
outbreak of the flames there was a
muffled explosion, and in a short
time the flames were seen.
The blaze was on the third floor
but ladders were raised and the fire
fighters waded in and suppressed the
fire. Hose company No. and truck
company No. answered the alarm
and in a few minutes were reinforced
by hose company No. and truck
company No. 4. AS little water as
possible to extinguish the flames was
used and this precaution saved the
entire stock from being damaged by
a wetting. The building is owned BY
George o. Hart & Sons. and was dam.
aged several hundred dollars, but the
loss is covered by Insurance. The
adjoining buildings of Kolb Brothers
Drug company and George o. Hart &
Sons escaped damage.
As the firemen were rolling up the
hose after extinguishing the blaze
Fire Chief James Wood returned
from Grand Rapids. where he attend.

went to the fire at once.

orders. Soldiers arms and legs were
cut on in public and the stumps were
thrust into boiling tar. Many have

PILOTS PROTEST
DECLARED "BoSH"
No LOCAL RIVER MEN THINK
PETITION PROBABLE.
Petition Against the Burlington
Building nc Metropolis Would
BE FTuitless Measure.

II must have been an imaginary
petition that the morning paper said
has been circulated among and
signed by the masters and pilots OF
practically all the river craft plying
between Paducah and Cairo" against
the building OF the Burlington bridge
across the Ohio at Metropolis.
"Why. that is all monkey wrench
talk" said a prominent river captain
this morning. "Who said anything
about a petition against the bridge,
responded another captain this morn
ing when his attention was called to
the disclosure" today. II haven't
heard anything about the new phase
OF seen anything of a petition" said
another steamboatman this morning
Another veteran remarked that II
wouldn't do any good to get up a pc.
tition against the building of the
bridge. as railroads, as a matter OF
fact, have everything their way"
The alleged petition caused every
riverman 10 laugh up his sleeve thi.
morning. and such a thing as gettine
up petition Is regarded as an alb
surdity. II the petition is afioai
around Paducah not one river captain
or pilot has seen or heard anything
OF IT,
When questioned concerning the
immense danger" TO craft plying
from here to the Egyptian city a vet
eran smiled. 1.-THE river IL one mile
wide and very deep at Metropolis,
he said, and the only objection car
imagine that rivermen would have
would be the width OF the bridge
spans. The spans of the Cairo bridge
are 500 feet apart and I take II thai
the spans OF the Burlington bridge
will be about the same width. AL
though this Is sufficiently wide 4
sometimes looks like you are goint
into a SO foot span with a big tow o.
coal. The site will be a most salts
factory one for bridge, and even 4
any attempt to circulate a petition Il
made II will be of little avail as th'
railroad has everything cinched will
the government and the engineer
figures are only regarded. The sligh
objection TO the width OF the spar
wouldn't cut any figure"
In speaking of the petition" an
other rlverman said "bosh." He wa
of the opinion that there wouldn't b.
enough signatures in Paducah e
make up a satisfactory petition 4
lay before the secretary Of war a
Washington. He said II would b
folly to attempt such thing as 4
stop bridge from going across tn
river at any point. ut is general.
the custom OF rivermen to get up
petition every time a bridge Is goinl
to be constructed, but they hav'
about gotten away from this practic
