No. 2, driven by Engineer Wal ter Frank, plunged over the sidewalk and through the shrubbery at the home of Jo- seph T. Fray, 4185 Central av- .enue, at 12:35 this afternoon.
 Two little children at play on the sidewalk just escaped the ponderous, seven ton appara- tus as it careened on it's side. half way through the shrub bery, with elods sof turf torn up to thes depth of two feet scattered over the front lawn.
 Hosenan Jack Atherton was cata- quilted over the hood of the engine and struck flat on his back 20 feet from the front seat of the engine. He was the only other occupant o6 the machine. Frank escaped with slight bruises.  Atherton was merely shaken up. The engine lay almost on the brink of a, sharp 1deelivity leading down Ogden street extension.
 Meanwhile the fire at the Nordling was being rapidly enveloped in flames. A strong north wind famed the in cipient blaze into what for a few moment threatened to be a con hagration.
 Sparks from smokers from the arms plant, who eat their noon day meal in the shade in the rear of the car penter shop, are believed to have started the flames.
 Nordling discovered the fire during the noon hour. He tried to extinguish the hamesf and sent his son to tele- phone. He says twice his son called but could not get an answer. Then he. finding his work unsuccessful. rushed to the firm alarm box at No. 72 at Central avenue and Ogden street ex- tension. a

s.1rhe fortress of Kovno,s together with all the forts and an amount of war material which has not been de- 4crniued. has been in German hands since last night.
 More than 400 cannon were taken. Tfe fortress was captured by storm in spite of the most tenacious resist ance by the Russians. :
 Military experts have agreed that the loss of the fortress of Kovno would be a. serious blow to the Rus sians. The critic of the London Times in an article published this morning says:
 tsIf the enemy succeeds in reducing Kovno and is thereby able to cross the Nieraen he will be in the rear of the Russian line nerth of the Sventa, and Field Marshal Won Hindenblll1sss s army the position of the Russian right flank will be very difficult.
 The official German statement of yesterday announced the capture or the forts on the southwest front of Kovno. together with 4,500 prisoners and 24O guns. This was interpreted as foreshadowing the fall of the tor tress proper, but it's accomplishment so speedily was hardly expected The famous German general, Field Mar sfaaI Won Hindenburg, probably took command or the army aDtaCklng hOV- no. The selection of GeEmany's na- tfc1al hero for this task indicates the importance attached to it by the Ger man general staff.
 Kovno, capital of the Russian prov fnce of that name, is on the right bank of the Niemen. It is fortress of the first class. The civilian -popu- latfon of the city is more than 75,Ooe. the time Of the fall of Warsaw the Austrian and German forces in Rus sia were operating in three large divi- siong From the south Field Marshal Won Haekensen pressed into Poland with the troops with which he mad successfully swept through GaIicia,re- capturing the province from t7rc Rus sians.
