STRENGTH of a Gar.

A story is told in st. Petersburg
which illustrates the phenomenal phys
ical strength CT the old car. At
little station not far from the capital
the imperial train was delayed for
quite a time, and the car, being
hungry, partook of some of the simple
food of the buffet. Meanwhile the lit
tie daughter of the mayor presented
the empress with a bouquet, the flow
ers of which were hastily gathered
from private hothouses in the neighbor-
hood. The stalks being still damp and
earthly, the empress visibly hesitated
TO take the bouquet in her neatly gloved
hand. The car coOlly took up one of
the heavy pewter plates on the table,
and twisting it as if it were paper.
made q neat covering for the stalks.
There is nothing incredible in the story,
since the car had been known to bend
a kitchen poker as an ordinary man
would a strip of tin.

A DISCOURAGED Sport.

This is the sad story of one of the
most thoroughbred sports known to
the history of hazards. His name was
Sullivan, and he had blue eyes and
red hair, with a brogue to match his
coloring. John Hays Hammond, the
mining engineer, met him in prison in
South Africa at the time when Ham
mond and other prominent men were
held as captives by the Beers in con-
nectiOn with the jameson raid. The
engineer and the Irishman became
well acquainted.

guilty to it.

Hammond, that judge got mad and

men, after a two-hour search OF the
ruins, concluded that no bodies were
in the wreckage
There were many narrow escapes
and sensational rescues of panic-strick-

The Open Board of Trade building
stood at 323 La Sale street, directly
across the street from the board OF
trade. In the rear and facing Clark
street stands the Kaiserhof hotel Half
a block away in Jackson boulevard
is the Grand Pacific hotel.
Panic-stricken guests fed from those
hotels in scant dress and suffered in

that building with destruction. Bell
boys, porters and others ran from floor
to floor and awoke the 800 men, women
and children guests. Selling what
valuables they could, the guests ran
terror-stricken from their rooms, down
long fights of stairs and into the
street
Like scenes occurred at the Victoria
and the Stafford. In the latter place
smoke poured into the rooms before
the danger became known. A number
of guests were affected by the smoke
and had to be assisted to the street.
The fire started from an unknown
cause in the basement and spread SO
rapidly that the entire building was in
flames when the first engine arrived.
When the roof fell every engine that
could be spared from other parts Of the
city was sent to the scene.
The second and third floors fell with
a crash that was heard for blocks.
This led to reports that an explosion
had occurred and that three firemen
who were fighting the flames in the
basement had been killed.
Meantime huge volumes of smoke
spread throughout the loop district,
electric lights were eXtinguished and
the downtown district was plunged in
to darkness.

men, women and children stood SILVER

mitted them to return to their rooms

LLFORTY-TWO MOROS
American Scouts Suffer No Fa-

Forty-two Moro outlaws were killed
in an engagement with a detachment
of American scouts. There were nc
