To Sell Ten Carloads.

CHICAGO. Dec. 14.-Following the
lead set by the women Of Philadel-
phia. the Women's Clean Food league
Of Chicago is preparing "A war for
lower prices for eggs
On next Friday morning. ten car
loads Of fresh country eggs will be
placed on sale in booths in different
sections Of the city at "a cents n
dozen. Egg prices now range from q
to 81 cents a dozen. The league will
not attempt to make any profit on

market.
1--WE have made arrangements to
get the eggs and will supply the mar
ket as long as the eggs last" Mrs.
George w Cravens, secretary Of the
league said tonight. There is no
reason that we cannot break the egg
corner, the same as the women of
Philadelphia did"

THRILLING SCENES.
Occupants Throw Themselves From
Windows or Creep to Safety on
Swinging LADDERS.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 13.-Probablj
a dozen people were severely injured
today when a costly and spectacular
fire destroyed the building on the
aorthside known as Library Palace, oc
cupied by more than 200 persons.
Twelve store rooms on the first floor
were destroyed.
Many of the occupants Of the build
ing threw themselves from windows
or crept to safety on swinging ladders.
The intense col dadded to the suffer-
ing. Fourtene women were rescued
from the fourth floor. The fire depart
ment was kept on the jump by series
of alarms from smaller fires through
out the city.
This fire started in a print shop in
the basement and soon shot up the
elevator shafts of the four-story build
ing.
Nine persons, including four fire
men and policeman were hurt when
the cornice Of the structure feil,were
hurried to the Allegheny general hos
pital. Several persons were report
ed to be missing, but all are thought
to have escaped.
The building was erected forty
wears ago and was as dry as tlnder
Women and children iii the three

POTOMAC DEFENSES.
Channel to be Deep Enoughsto Float
Ships Drawing 80 Feet OF
Water.

According TO 3:e new plans for the
defense of the Potomac and the Capt.
tai, as adopted by the War Depart
ment, provisions have been made to
keep the channel of the river be-
tween Fort Hunt and Fort Washing
ton deep enough for the s:ationing
and manuvering of second class bas-
tleshipz. this side of the forts. As 4
-second-class battlcship dtn1nt from %
to 80 feerof.water, it is certain that
Alexandria will always have a decp
channel for her shipping or for any
vessels that may come to tthis port to
discharge cargo of up to 30 feet draft
and possibly to 80 feet.
The new defense plans of the Polo
mac covering the territory adjacent 70
Alexandria and Washington also pro-
vide for quick mining of the channel
below Forts Hunt and Washington
which will make it practically impos-
sible for war vessels Of hostile fleet
TO pass up the river. 1t is said thai
the Potomac can be covered with a net
work of mines within a period of six
hours in the event of war.
With the new Notifications to DC
placed at the mouth Of the Chcsa-
peake, it is certain no fleet will be
able to pass the powerful seacoast
defences there, the mines in the Poto
mac and Forts Hunt and Washing.
ION. Should they do so, they will have
to encounter the Second class battle
ships to be stationed between Fort
Hunt and Washington in the event o1
war.

countered before reaching the desire:
haven. Mr.. Clements had reached {;
r3int between River View and For;
Foot when he realized that the gaso
line in the tank had been spent. There
was nothing to do, but anchor. The
cold was intense and Mr.. Clements
found it necessary to burn part OF tbs
boat in order to keep himself and {
bow who was with him from freezing
to death.
When morning broke it was found
that ice had formed around the boat
and after "cu:ting the boat out" Mr
Clements and the boy managed WIFI

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Little Daughter OF John Naylo- Seri-
ousiy Burned This Morning.

A coiored man who had charge Of
a horse and wagon went to the resi-
dence of John Naylor, on the. south
side Of Duke street, between Fairfax
and Royal, this morning Eor the pur-
pose of removing the household effects
to q house in another neighborhood
which the family had rented. When
he opened the door he was met by a
volume OF smoke, and upon4making al
investigation found Mr.. Mayors three
year old daughter enveloped in
flames. He subdued the fire as quickly
as possible and wrapping the little one
in a blanket hurried it to the AleNan-
dra Hospital. It's condition is said to
be serious.
Had the colored man delayed his
appearance a few minutes there is
every reason to suppose the house
would have caught fire and the little
grl and another child, both of whom
had been left alone, would have been
cremated.
