DECATUR HAS BIG FIRE.
Loss Is 100000 in Blaze Which
Sweeps Business Section of City
in Illinois.

DECATUR, ILL.,, Aug. 23.-Five de-
stroyed property estimated in value at
$1,OOO,OOO, burning large part of the
business section Of the city. Nineteen
business establishments were completely
destroyed and six others badly damaged.
The fire was under control at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon, having burned fifteen
hours, but the city is suffering from a
water famine because the supply in the
reservoirs is almost exhausted. 1t was
necessary to shut off the residence dis
tricts Tie condition temporarily places
the city in a hazardous position if anoth-
er tire should break out.
During the fire blaze was discovered
in the engine room Of the Decatur hotel,
outside the district that was being de-
stroyed. There was a panic among the
guests. Prompt work by the hotel en-
ployes extinguished the flames.
The fire started at / o'clock in the
morning in the Moorehouse & Wells
hardware store in East Main street.
Moorehouse & Wells occupied a modern
six-story building, which was one of the
show places Of the city.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 23.-Fire Sat

of about $1,50O,OOO. The whole business

PRISON IS SHY $4,000.
Western Pennsylvania Penitentiary Has
Big Deficit, 1t Is Alleged-Thou
sands for Brooms.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 21.-Discov-
cry has been made, it is alleged, of a
deficit of So, 900 by a board of auditors
appointed to fix the financial status of
the Western Pennsylvania penitentiary.
The investigation was started following
recent change of administration and
was conducted by Il number of prominent
bankers now serving time in the peni-
tertiary. The $4,000 is accounted for
in the bookkeeping.
Brooms and broom material to that
amount are stored away. This extra
ordinary purchase has submerged the fl
nances of the big prison. The hosiery
department. it is said, has been running
at a loss of $500 a year, while rugs
and carpets have been sold for less than
was paid for the manufacturing ma
terial.
For some time to come, or until the
next state appropriation, the expenses
of the penitentiary will be met with bor-
rowed money.
