"a great disaster occurred here
yesterday when the Edison cleo
tric pIantwas almost completely
destroyed by fire.
About S7,000,0O0 worth Of
damage was done by the con-
fIagratipns 0ne-third Of the loss
us covered by insurance.
One Of the mysteries Of the fire
which has not been solved was
the burning Of an entire square
block which was supposed to be
of flreproof construction.
BLOCK ENTIRELY DESTROYED
This black was entirely de-
stroyed by the flamesf Desper-
ate work suOceedeu',in saving
Thomas A. Edlson's scientific
laboratory, which is regarded as
a great piece Of good fortune.
Mr.. Edison; WhD was brought
to the scene soon after the fire
started, assumed personal con-
troll and direCtedftRe operations
of the firemen. n Z,
EDISON WILL REBUILD
When it was seen that the de-
struction Of the, plant was prac-
tioally complete, he said that he
was not discouraged, and that
although he was sixty-seyen
years Of age, he would start in
again and build anew
About 1000 persons are out of
as a result Of this
oonHagration andmuoh, hardship
probably will result during the
winter months. The announce
Of Mr.. Edison that he would
rebuild the plant has very much
encouraged these employees.

JOE BoRREH4L, ITALIAN AMERICAN NIIDDLEWETGHT
 BOXER. 22 SUNDAY

Joe Bor-eIl, the ItaHan-American lniddleweight boxer of Philadelphia
 who has recently come to the front as a. contender for the title, has plenty of time in which to achieve his ambi- tion, as he will be twenty-two years young tomorrow. Borrel1 began mak- l ing a reputation in 1911 by Knocking l out nearly all the men he fought. During his first year in the ring he | met twelve men in what were sched- uled as six-round bouts, and only two of the dozen stayed the limit.
 The Italian scored nine knockouts that year, and his opponents averaged only two rounds each before they laid down and went by-by. In 1912 Joe appeared in twenty bouts, winning nine of them by the knockout route, and winning all of the remainder. Among others, he knocked out Ford Munger in the 18th round at Balti- chapter at South Bethlehem, and de- feated Dick Gilbert in two battles, one of fifteen and the other of twenty rounds, at Jacksonville.
 Joe made his metropolitan debut in April. 1913, when he faced Mike Dempsey in a New York ring and put Him down and out in the first inning. A little later he defeated Walter Mona han at Altoona, knocked out Joe Lewis in the 9th chapter in a Quaker City ring Two months ago Borren fought Bandsman Blake. the English middle weight. in London, and was having all the best of it when the referee stopped the bout, calling it ''no contest" be- cause Joe undntentionaIly slammed the Bandsnan after the bell had rung.
 The Philade1phian went oyer to Parts, where last month he made Marcel Moreau, the French middle weight. look like a novice. The fight was scheduled for twenty rounds, but it was stopped in the eighth to save the Frenchman from being knocked out.
 BorrelI is not the first Italian to, contend for middIeweight champion ship honors. A few years ago Tommy Ryan handed the middleweight title to Hugo Kelly, a Chicago Italian. Who had been taught the boxing game by Ryan. Kelly didn't make good on his claims to the championship, but he made great showing at a time when the middleweight division included such men as Ketchel, Papke and Jack Twin Sullivan. Another star Italian r1iddleweigat of that pugtlstic era was Tony Caponi, of St. Paul who fought two draws with Bill Paplxe in 1907 but was later knocked, out by the Thin nois Thunderbolt.
