A MIDNIGHT FIRE

Early Morning Blaze Discovered in
Ocala House Block-Quick Re-
sponse of the Fire Department
AVerts Serious Conflagration.
An alarm of fire was given about 1
o'clock Tuesday morning, and the
store-room in the OcaIa House block,
occupied by Mr.. C. U. Gaines, recent
ly from Fitzgerald, Ga, was discover
ed to be on fire.
The fire department was quickly
on hand and the chemical engines
merits were thoroughly tested, and
it did it work thoroughly and we'll
About one hundred gallons of the
chemicals were used, which complete
ly subdued the flames.
The smoke was very dense, and the
firemen worked under difficulties, but
the fire was soon extinguished with
out doing any very serious damage to
the building.
Had the fire got a little better start
it might have burned the entire struc-
ture. The Ocala House is the largest
building in the city and on the night
in question it was sheltering about
seventy-five people. 1t partly covers
an entire block, and had the flames
got beyond control other buildings
would have been licked up, and the
confagration would have been most
disastrous.
Just before day the fire alarm was
again sounded and it was ascertained
that some of the dry goods had re-ig-
nited and still another fire was threat
ened, but more good work was done,
and the danger was soon averted
Mr.. Gaines has been in Ocala for a
little more than one month, and had
his goods and fixtures insured for
$4,000 The goods sustained great
damage, but a part of which perhaps
remain intact.
The plate glass, the walls and cell
ing of the room were badly disfigured,
but can easily be repaired The dam
age sustained to the building is COW
cred by insurance.
During one of the fires someone left
the doors to the fire station open Two
of the horses got out and ran for a
considerable distance in the direc-
tion Of Silver Springs before hating,
and one of the horses in consequence
has quite stiff joints. 1t is hoped that
the animal, which is very much priz-
ed, will sustain no serious nor perma-
nent damage.
Anent the fire the following note is
sent in as a contribution, depicting
one of ahe humorous incidents con-
nected with it:

the fire Monday night at the Ocala |
House was when Mr.. Goodwin, the

know that Bob Hart's backbone on the
field becomes putty with the sound Of
the gong? Certainly there is but one
way-for the owners of the clubs TO
unite In their complaints to Ban John
son. oaths of managers and players
set high on pile of Bibles would have
no weight in Chicago.
As Bad As Ever.
Rags O'Loughlin was as bad yes
terday behind the plate as he has been
since coming here on May 20 Strikes
were called balls on Bob Groom, Ty
Cobb. George Moriarty, and Sam Craw-
ford that would have brought tears
from the carved face of chimpanzee
on Chinese doorknob. Cobb actually
laughed when ball cutting the heart
of the plate was called ball. II Is
mere repetition to enumerate the many
errors made by O'Loughlin. He makes
them every day. He has made them
every day he has been here. The fans
sitting in places of vantage know that
this is true, that it is no exsggeration.
To make matters worse yesterday
Hildebrand had hard time OF IL down

caught OF the bag. but Hildebrand al
lowed him to hold the bag. Gandil
eluded Witt in the fourth. only to. be
called out. As 1t happened, both these
decisions went against the Griffmen.
They were not important in the hight
Of the final score. but they made the
fans sore at Hildebrand, who seems to
be a very fair official. Certainly the
new man Is fast on his feet and works
hard out there from gong to gong He
deserves all the luck in the worid-and
a new side partner-before ne is ruined.
On the field O'Loughlin may be the
best fellow In the world. But or the
field he Is showing every day his abso-
lutte incompetence, his arrant blindness
his failure to cover plays on the bases
through inactivity. and his foolish auto
cratic air that vas once popular IN the
days when rowdyism was common in
all leagues. But he will continue to
spill good ball games as long as owners
Of clubs are willing to endure him
