Noted of the Nationals,

Charity was on the job back of the
bat again after an absence OF nearly
two weeks due to poisoning from an
infected foot. apparently none the
worse for his Illness. His triple over
Mostrs head in the sixth was by far
the hardes.-hit ball in a contest which
produced two homers. three triples
and a brace of doubles.
Mogridge and Acosta were given
some splendid support despite the
loose work of Rice and O'Rourke on
Collins home run and Miller's bushy
attempt to block a single by Bratchi.
Judge and Mogridge neatly cooper
ated to kill off johnson in the opener.
Harris shared a low liner from
Sheely's bat in the second. Judge
made fine stop of JOhnsOn's be-
whiskered crack in the fourth. and
saved O'Rourke an error to flag Collins
in the ninth.
O'Rourke on three different occasions
robbed Mulligan Of safeties. and
Shanks made fine play on Schalk's
vicious wallop in the sixth. Then
there was the catch Rice made OF
srame. Sam had to race back and
take the ball over his shoulder. This
was:- best bit of the day. Had Rice
missGS this one the score probably
would have been tied right there.
This Mulligan is stubborn cuss.
Retired on a close play in the third,
Eddie calmly squatted on the initial
sack and for many minutes refused
to move. although ordered to vacate

in the third when Gharrity's peg to

a law was passed compelling a judgment creditor to accept pay

FIRE HALTS EXCHANGE
TRADING THREE HOURS
Defective Wires Blamed for
S25, 900 Ddma8e.

The New York Stock Exchange
marked off a new chapter In its history
yesterday when, for the first time, busi-
ness was suspended on account of n fire.
Starting about o'clock, the blaze spread
to lumber and scaffoldtng of the new
building under construction at Broad
and Wall streets, and penetrated the
north wall of the trading floor. Fire
men under Patrick Walsh, battalion
chief extinguished the flames after a
two hour fight, keeping the damage down
to about $4,000 and enabling the re-
sumption of trading at l o'clock after
the chamber had been cleared Of smoke
and water.
While the fire was confined to small
space and the financial community saw
nothing but smoke, large crowd quick
ly collected in Wall and Broad streets.
Police reserves were called out and traf-
fic was stopped on the Wall street side.
The fire started, as far as the evil
dence showed. through short circuit

ciator board of the board room. This
is an electric contrivance containing a
series of numbers which summon brok-
ers to the telephone when the figures are
displayed. The cripplng OF this convent
ence affected business in the afternoon,
but the brokers were inconvenienced the
most by smoke and water. Smoke
poured up through the offices of the up
per floors of the Exchange building. but
no one was driven out.
The Consolidated Stock Exchange also
postponed its opening until business was
renewed on the big board. The curb.
however, conducted Its operations as
usual In it's new home in Trinity place.

the Exchange had been suspended since
the Wall street explosion on September
16 last with the exception of brief de-
lays due to subway tie-ups which pre-
vented the prompt arrival of members
for the opening. Prior to the four
months suspension of trading after the
outbreak of the war in 1914. trading
had not been interrupted since May.

periods came in 1888 after the blizzard
