TWO EXPLOSIONS
WRECK BUILDINGS

Cincinnati, July 24.-Two explosions
early today wrecked a manufacturing
plant at Central avenue and Findey
street, starting a confagration that de-
stroyed three adjoining plants.
Five firemen were buried by falling
walls and were taken out seriously in
jured.
The combined losses by the fire are es-
timated at $25O,0OO.
The first explosion occurred in the plant
of the Cincinnati Ball Crank company
and Is supposed to have resulted from
natural gas The defamation was heard
for distance of more than a mile. The
Warner Pole and Top company soon fell
prey to the blaze and other plants dam
aged were the Century Printing company
and Cincinnati Lithographing company.
While the firemen were working on the
fire in the plant of the Ball Crank conf
pany the walls buckled and fell, burying
five of the firemen under a mass of plas-
tering and red-hot bricks At first 1t was
thought the entire company had been
caught In the wreckage, and that all had
undoubtedly persisted.
All of the available fire-fishters of
the city by this time had arrived upon
the scene. and other fremen. rushing
through the flames at the risk of their
own lives. began carrying out the uncon.
scious forms of their unfortunate COM
rades. Within a few minutes all had
been rescued and resuscitated. All of the
injured, 1t is believed, will recover.

BROWN rs SLATED FOR
PERMANENT CHAIRMAN

Lincoln, Neb., July 24.4-The republic
can convention will meet in Lincoln
Tuesday with Senator Norris Brown as
temporary chairman. An effort will
be made by the organization to have
Brown made permanent chairman, but
it is believed that the insurgents will
oppose this and will push Congressman
Norris for the place as an Endorsement
of Norris course in Congress. This is
likely to bring a clash between the
supporters of the administration and
those who approve the action of the
insurgents.
Practically the only other contest
of any Importance is over the party's
attitude on the liquor question.
There is some possibility of an OBJ
lection to a sweeping Endorsement on
the present convention of the party's
action since 1908, but the indicati
are that President Taft Will receive a
hearty Endorsement for the work he
has done as President and for the
stand he has taken regarding legis-

tween American ports and Bluef1elds,
Nicaragua, which was brought to-a stand

eral Meyer, who led in the establish

duction OF several novels OF more than
ordinary ability and interest. These
mainly dealt with peasant life in north

London as IL Was.

Haydn's Dictionary Of Dates"
makes the statement that the old name
of the city of London was written
Lynden or Llyndin. meaning ''the city
on the lake." An old tradition gives
US to understand that London was
founded by Brute, a descendant of
Aeneas, and called New Troy or Troy
novant until the time of Lud, who sur
rounded the town with walls and
named 1t Caer-Lud, or Lud's Town.
This latter is probably the correct ver-
sion Of the story, If for no other rea-
son because 1t is an easy matter to de-
tect similarity between the express
sion Lud's Town and London. 1t is
claimed by some writers that there
was city on the same spot 1,107
years B. c., and 1t is known that the
Romans founded city there called
Londinium A. d. 81.

WIN
 FROM PHILLIPS
 AND TIE SERIES

Philadelphia, April 12.-P1aying ball that would hardly be a credit to anna teurs, the Phillies fell easy victims to the Athletics and the series for the local championship is now tied. Near ly everything the National Leaguers attempted they bungled, and by mix ing in a few well directed drives the Athletics won. 10 to 6.
 Bender had the Indian sign on the Phillies in the five innings he worked and only yielded one single. Morgan, seeing his team with such big lead simply tossed the ball over the plate, and the Phillies were thus enabled to make the score a little less one-sided. Foxen was hammered hard in two Of the four innings. he pitched, and until Shettler got warmed up he, too, got his bumps, besides being wild.
 Aside from the hitting of Grant with two singles and 8 triple, and Thomas, with a brace of singles, the fielding of Rath, the Tri-State recruit and hard catch of line drive by Grant, the game was slow and fea- tureless.
 Manager Dooin, kept constantly changing his lineup and before the game was over he had used fifteen players, but the changes did little in the way of improving the Nationals playing their errors being all the more ridiculous because they were made on easy chances. The Americans worked hard and took advantage of every mis- play by the old 1eaguerS.
