HMULLIFFE AND DALY FIGHT
Timothy Keefe, the famous pitcher op
poses the plan of consolidating the Ameri
can Association and the Brotherhood. His
opposition is likely to kill all prospects of
amalgamation. McAnlifie and Daly, the
light Weight pugilists, ionght a draw.

JWECIAI. TXLEOHX1I TO TUX DlSrATCII.1
Kew yoEE, Decemher 5. Tim Keefe,
the great pitcher of the Hew York club and
Secretary of the Baseball Players Brother
hood, was found at his place of business on
Broadway Oo-day, surrounded by holiday
; goods. Tim had been thinking a great deal
over that meeting of the American Associa
tion at Columbus on "Wednesday, and had
come to the conclusion that the Brother
hood had no use for the Association. Said
he:
"I don't see what use the Association
clubs would be to us. If we" took them in
we would only have to make a 12 club
League, and that would make so many tail
enders that the draw on the guarantee fund
would be by far too great All this talk about
consolidating the two organizations is being
done by tbe American Association people, and
not bf toe Brotherhood."
This statement coming from Keefe Is of
great significance. The local baseball cranks
take it to mean that there will be no con
solidation at all, bat that the Brotherhood will
continue to sign all the good players of the
American Association. John Jl.'Ward refuses
to say anything definite about the matter. Ed
Hanlon, who has been here for a few days, is
also non-committal. Keefe further thinks that
the Association can get alone all right alone.
The famous pitcher, however, maintains that
the Brotherhood will bare nothing to do with
the consoldiation,

lie Fnvora lb Brotherhood.
NetYobk, Decembers. Captain John Bar
dock, of tbe Kew Haven team, was met by a
reporter yesterday. He said that he was in
favor of the movementmadebytbe players, but
that tbe Brotherhood was never formed for the
purposes to which it bad been put. He was one
of tbe charter members of tbe Brotherhood, and
it was organized mainly .for beneficial purposes.
Burdock says that be will bring suit against
the Brooklyn club fori days' pav, he beinc re
leased J5 days before the close of tile season of
18S8. while tbe understanding was that be was
to play the season ont with the club. He does
not know whether be will gain anything by it or
not, but is willing to try.
Knnuss for Detroit.
Manager Leadley some days ago wrote to
Frank Knauss and at tbe same time mailed
him a contract. Knauss replied, stating that
tbe Brotherhood had offered him $2,300 and $300
advance. At tbe same time he intimated that
for a reasonable salary, many hundreds less
than tbe Brotherhood offered, be wonld sign
with Detroit. Mr. Leadley acquiesced and
Knauss' contract will soon arrive. This shows
that Knauss has a very level bead. It also
.snows that tbe niratical Brotherhood, in its el-
7'forts to keep afloat, will not respect the rights
or obligations of any organization or individual.

ASGIENTIFIO CONTEST.

Over the Referee.
rrrrciAL tilzobam to tkx dispatch.!
Bostow, December - -5. Jack McAnllffe
banged Hike Daly over the ring to-nlht, but
because he did not knock tbe Bangor lad out
the fight was declared a draw1. Jack was robbed
of a well deserved victory by tbe decision, but
he has the satisfaction ot knowing that he
clearly outclassed Daly, and disposed of him as
an aspirant for tbe liehtweight champion
ship. It was a surprise to every
body that Daly stood up under
McAuliffe's terrific rushes, but he did
so gamely, and deserves credit for his game
nest. Bat he clearly was no match for Brook
lyn's dandy lightweight. The fight took place
at the Crib Club, in tha presence of nearly 600
sporting men from all over the country. Tbe
contest was one of the most important since
the Sullivan-Kilrain scrap, for Mc
Auliffe's reputation as a champion
was at stake. It was not a championship
fight technically, but in reality It was for the
lightweight championship. Had McAnllffe
lost he would never again have entered tbe
ring. .Now he is ready to defend the title for a
little while longer. A purse of $1,000
was hung up for the men and each
will take half. There was a Ions wrangle
over tbe selection or a reieree alter it
was determined that tbe fight should go on.
The police had orders to stop it, but in view of
the fact that it was to be only a scientific con
test it was permitted,and it was a scientific con
test. Snch a one has seldom been seen in New
England, or anywhere else for that matter. For
ten rounds both men displayed a thorough
knowledge of rinc tactics, and tbeir leading,
dodging and countering excited the admiration
oi an.
McAuliffehadtbebestof it, however, from
the start After tbe tenth round be fought
Daly all over the ring, but could not knock
him ont. Twice the Bangor man was groggy,
but was saved by the call of time. He came up
strong, however, after tbe minute's rest It
was 9:30 o'clock before the consent of the police
was obtained and it was llH o'clock before time
was called for the first round. The intervening
time was wasted in an excitingwrangleoverthe
selection ot a referee, and the interpretation of
the articles. Captain Bill Dally, Mike's
backer, wanted a draw unless there was a
knock-out before tbe fifteenth round, or he
wanted the men to continue to a flnib. Mc
Auliffe made quite a speech in the ring- He
said he bad trained for a 15-round contest and
would not consent to a longer fight for snch
a diminutive purse. Finally it was left
to the referee to decide. Then came another
squabble. Jere Dunn and John Kelly were
asked to serve, but each declined. McAnllffe
and BUI Daly bad quite, a spat, in which Daly
called Jack a liar, and McAuliffe jumped for
htm, but was held off by Jimmy Colville. Then
there was more chin music for half an hour,
and finally Joe Lannon was accepted as a com
promise. Daly won thoiceof corners and at 11:04 o'clock
Joe Lannon called time for one of the best
glove contests on record. McAuliffe was sec
onded by bis Drotber Con and Bob Drew.
Tlnlv's seconds were Cantain Bill Daly. Jack
Havlin and Dan GilL SicAuliffe weitrhed 139 ,
pounds and Daly tipped the scales at isi uaiy
looked, nervous and over-trained. McAnllffe
was confident and forced the fighting. Daly
acting mainly on the defensive, but countering
whenever he saw a chance to land. In the
fourteenth and fifteenth rounds Daly appeared
somewhat groggy, but kept gamely at work,
and when time was called tbe referee declared
the contest a draw.
THEY WERE GAME.
Two Chickens Fight an Hour nnd 30 Mln
ntrs. Neither Winning.
About 100 sports met at a point in the West
End yesterday to witness what turned out to be
one of tbe most desperate chicken fights seen
here for many years. The battle lasted nearly
an hour and a half, and was declared a draw
because tbe two game and pretty birds bad
fought until thev were both helpless.
Tbe fight was of the shake'' clan, that is,
each party coold bring the best and biggest
chicken they could get. The birds represented
Allegheny and Pittsburg parties. The former
had a "rooster." a black red, weighing 6 pounds
12 ounces. The Pittsburgers had a pretty Pyle
weighing 7 pounds, and the stakes were $100 a
side. The betting was lively, the Pyle being
the favorite.
Tbe battle started at S o'clock in the after
noon and tbe two magnificent birds cut and
pecked each other until 4:30. At tbe latter time
they were sorry and helpless specimens of their
kind, but, although almost choking to death
with blood, they seemed to defy nature as they
stood gamely alongside each other when they
hadn't strength to make tbe least effort in the
way of combat. Finally tbeir owners agreed
to a draw and the birds, cut and blind, were
each put into a sack.
Several other battles of lesser note followed.

McClelland and Miller have not been definite
lmatcbed to run yet, but the backers of tbe
two men will meet in 1 ew York to-day when It
is likely that a match will be made. Yesterday
afternoon McClelland received the following
dispatch from his backer, who is now in New
York:
"Laboussiere, Millers backer, will meet me
at Sun office to-morrow to sign articles for ten
mile race. It will probably come off in Pitts

race to take place here: bnt it will be very
difficult to get anything like a fair track on the

severe.

flEEGINe THE ALIBIS.
The Evidence in Behalf of the Cronin
Prisoners Receives
A YERI COMPLETE DISSECTION.
Prosecutor Hjnes Makes an Eloquent
Appeal for Justice.
THE CEONIX CONSPIRACY. AND H0EDEE
FroTt tbe Truth of the Charges Against the Clln-na-Gael
Triangle.
Mr. Hynes, one of tbe attorneys for the
prosecution, occupied the entire day in the
Cronin trial yesterday in dissecting the evi
dence given in behali of the prisoners. He
showed the absurdity of tbe alibi testimony,
and closed with an eloquent appeal for the
conviction of the accused.
Chicago, December 5. When the court
was called to order lor further hearing in
the Cronin case this morning, Mr. Hynes,
of counsel for the prosecution, took up the
argument to the jury. He began his argu
ment by arraying facts to show that the line
of defense had been organized before the mur
der was committed. There was evidence of
that'in the bogus declaration that Cronin
would turn up; in tbe sending of dispatches
to the effect that Cronin had been seen in
Canada, and this defense was only thwarted
by the discovery of Dr. Cronin's body,
which had not been bestowed according to
the programme.
In the presence of his dead body it could
not be claimed that he bad gone to England
to testify as a British spy against Parnell.
But counsel for the defense even contested
tbe identification of the body until Dr. Cro
nin's clothes and his instruments were
found. Then for the first time they admit
ted that the identification was complete.
ONE OF THE POSSIBILITIES.
If the clothes had not been found perhans
tbe persons who sent the dispatches would
have been put upon the stand to testify that
they had seen Dr. Cronin alive after May 4.
And so the defense had been reduced to the
claim that it had uot been proven tnat Dr.
Cronin died of the wounds inflicted. -The
speaker then reviewed the evidence of the
medical experts to show that their evidence
sustained the statement that he Xed of the
wounds on his head. Then followed a re
view of the expert testimony as to the blood
stains.
Mr. Hynes next took up the alibi evidence
in O'Sullivan's case, and, at considerable
length, proceeded to show inconsistencies in
it. He then said that it was not necessary
to claim that O'Sullivan was in the cottage
when the blows were struck. In fact, it was
better that he should not be seen by Cronin
on his arrival there, for Cronin had been
told that he was out of town.
Mr. Hynes then analysed the evidence
concerning the time when the Hylands
testified that they drank with O'Sullivan in
Kieman's saloon, and drew the conclusion
that it could not have been on the night fol
lowing the murder.
COTJGHLIN'S CASE.
Mr. Hynes then analyzed the testimony
tor UougnliUj given Dy bis Drotner police
man, saying it was strange that they should
keep their knowledge to themselves till
they came upon the witness stand, and not
ing that, putting all of their evidence 'to
gether, Coughlin stood immovable before
the station lor two hours. Then he took up
the matter of the man Smith, who gave the
white horse, and declared that Coughlin not
only allowed the man to go away when he
found him, but deliberately gave a false
description of him, saying that he was
cross-eyed and falsifying the color of his
hair.
If the story about Smith that he came
from Hancock, Mich., was true, why was he
not put on tbe stand? On this" point-Mr.
Haynes said:
"No man worthy the name, no man, un
less he were the veriest cur, would remain
concealed when the man whose kindness and
accommodation to him had placed himself
under accusation of this awful crime. If
Smith were innocent he "Would come forward
and tell the truth and vindicate Dan
Coughlin."
GUILTY KNOWLEDGE.
In reviewing the circumstantial evidence
against Kunze Mr. Hynes stated the belief
of the prosecution regarding the little Ger
man. He is thought to have guilty knowl
edge of the conspiracy, but to have taken no
active part in the tragedy. Mr. Hynes
spoke of tbe lonely situation of the Carlson
cottage, and said that to connect anyone
withentering it within a week of the mur
der, either before or alter, was to connect
him with the crime.
Concerning the knives found in the pos
session of Coughlin, Mr. Hynes expressed
the opinion that Coughlin did not suppose
that he would be arrested and that there
was, he said, only one chance 'in a million
that any man would be found carrying two
knives like those of Dr. Cronin. Mr. Hynes
then took up the alibi of Burke and at con
siderable length dissected the evidence of
the array of saloon keepers who testified in
that regard, drawing the conclusion that it
was inconsistent and insufficient. Mr.
Hynes next reviewed the "triangle" trial,
and the fight in the camps of the Clan-na-gael.
"Referring to the meeting of Camp 20
on February 8, when the row took place
about Dr. Cronin's having read the report
of the triangle trial, Mr. Hynes said:
AN ELOQUENT EXHOBTATION.
"They were ready to accept the statement
of Xe Caron when it was tg be leveled
against a fellow criminal, then a brother in
the organization, that was opposed to the
men that they were following; ready to ac
cept that statement, when they denied nearly
every other statement that lie Caron made
upon tbe stand; ready to accept the testi
mony of an English spy, who had been a
spy for years lor pay, giving information to
the British Government; ready to accept
that statement that there were spies, and
that Dr. Cronin was one of them, according
to Dan Coughlin."
The speaker then proceeded to argue that
tbe fact of the conspiracy and murders
proved the truth of Cronin's charges against
the triangle. Mr. Hynes had not finished
his address when the court adjourned.

Baleigh, N. C, December 5. Beports
of the most appalling character have reached
here of distress and suffering among the peo

failure ol the crops. The cotton crop was
almost a total failure, and it

is also learned that on day before yesterday
a mass meeting of the people of the county
was held at the town of Weldon to take
some bteps to secure relief for over 1,000
people who were present, and the following
preamble and resolution was adopted :
Whereas. The total failure of crops in Hal
ifax and other counties during tbe present

with penury and want, but with actual starva

rSFCCUI. TELEQ1UM TO TBI DISPATCH.
NEW Toek, December 5. To the group
of callers at the "Windsor Hotel, this after
noon, to whom was accorded the privilege 6f
an entertaining chat with Mme. Adeliua
Fatti, several hours after her arrival on the
Teutonic the famous singer ' presented her
self as a handsome woman, whose long
familiar face nad undergone a startling
transformation by the change of the hue of
her luxuriant hair from black to unburn.
The lighter color imparted by the dyers'
art made the divas' "brilliant black eyes,
with their arched eyebrows of jet hair, more
than ever noticeable. She was clothed in a
snug-fitting, high-necked and long-sleeved
gown of black, that heightened the changed
hue of her hair.
A simple bunch of roses bloomed at her
waist, and large diamonds sparkled on either
hand nnd glittered prismaticallv in her
ears. "When she dropped into an easy chair
in her parlor, on the .ground floor of the
hotel, a tiny Chihuahua spaniel leaped
into her lap and cuddled itself up in
a heap. The dog was a yresent to the
diva from the wife of President Diaz, of
Mexico. A smaller dog still, that the diva
bought in Paris, leaped playfully at her
feet She left at home, at her Castle Craig-y-Nos,
the remarkable Mexican spaniel
"Juliet," that Mr. Marcus K. Maver gave
her. It was so small that there couldn't be
found in New York a collar that could not
slip over its head. It couldn't stand the
strain of an ocean voyage, and consequently
was left behind.
Signor Nicolini, the diva's husband, ap
peared amused at the interest that the dogs
excited, and drawing from his pocket a
telescopic silver-and-gold lead pencil, that
was a yard long when he opened it, care
fully wrote the dog's name, spelling the one
on the diva's lap wrong.
The diva's auburn hair was a feature that
overtopped all other things, however, in in
terest for those who saw her eyes to-day. It
wal explained that the diva submitted her
self to the dver's care because her role in
"Borneo and" Juliet" calls Yor light hair,
and being unwilling to wear a wig, she had
her hair dyed. The dyer certainly did the
work artistically. A hairpin set with a row
of a dozen diamonds in a graceful coil of the
dyed hair. 1
The diva said that she had "created" the
role of Juliet in the opera, and that she was
going to sing it in America. She will also
appear in "Lakure" for the first time in
America duriag her present engagement
with Manager Abbey.
Madam Patti is having a little theater of
her own built, at her castle in "Wales. It
will seat an audience of 150, and the diva
eipects that Mr. Irving will open it formally
about next May.
AESON AS A SCIENCE.
The Manner In Which a New Tork Clothing-
Sealer Arranged for a Bis Fire
Similar Attempts Had
Been Made Before.
New Yoek, December 5. Sunday, night
flames barst from the notion store of Ber
nard "Wollf, in the heart of the Bastside
tenement district Thev were extinguished,
bnt now comes Joseph Sugarman, who to
day made a statement under oath that puts
"Wollf in a bad fix. Some time ago he
noticed that "Wollf was beginning what
seemed to him a series of experiments with
different qualities and sizes of candles. Be
tween times he was visited by a red-bearded
Russian, who always carried small bottles
of different colored fluids. These experi
ments continued until the holidays set in.
On the Hebrew New Year the whole es
tablishment was closed. It was to remain
so for three days, or while the holidays
lasted. On the night of the second day
Sugarman said he viBited the place to see if
everything was in order. Curtains were
drawn on the windows. "What met bis gaze
upon opening the door startled him. Pre
parations fox a good old blaze were complete.
From each corner of a table hung a cotton
bag tilled loosely with odds and ends of
cloth. Bunning to these and all around the
basement was tape. Along each shelf it was
fastened with pins in snch a manner as to
leave no mark. The ends of the tape ran to
candles cut off to a certain length which
stood about tbe place. Xne tape ran up
stairs. On the floor above the basement he
found that similar preparations to those
below bad been made. The tape ran from
that point to the floor above, where the state
of affairs was the same.
Upward of a thousand yards of tape hid
been used. All of it had been previously
treated, Sugarman said he learned subse
quently, with a chemical compound that
was simply perfection in its way. It-burned
rapidly, made but a trifling smoke, and left
no odor. Two minutes after it was started
a hot fire would have been raging in every
room in the house. Sugarman says it was
some time before he could fully realize
-what had been done. When he did he
started and gathered up all the tape. After
this he took down the sacks of rags. He
did nothing more just then except to take
the tape and sacks home and stow them
away. The "Wollfs keot pleading so hard
with him not to make the matter public that
finally he consented to let it drop if they
would show him how nicely the chemicals
would work.
"My brother used them for a friend of his
on Broadway a little while ago, and it made
a beautiful loss," is what Sugarman said
Bernard Wollf had told him at the time. In
conclusion Sugarman said that as soon as he
heard of the fire at 74 Essex street he be
came convinced that Wollf was up to his
old tricks again and determined to expose
him. No arrests have yet been made.

Nashville, December 5. The Southern
Iron Company, whicn was recently organ
ized and has its headquarters in tbis city,
has decided to invest'several million dollars
in the manufacture of steel in this-
city, thus coming in direct competi
tion with Eastern manufacturers.
No steel having ever been successfully
manufactured south of the Ohio river, soon
alter the formation of the company, which
owns several large furnaces and immense
tracts of iron lands in Tennessee and Ala
bama, Colonel A. M. Shook, the general
manager, was sent to England and Wales
to thoroughly investigate the manufacture
of steel and report his conclusions as to its
production in the South.
Colonel Shook, who was accompanied by
Captain H. S. Chamberlain, of Chatta
nooga, President of the Boan Iron Company,
arrived to-day from Europe, and commu
nicated the results of his observations to
the company. Tbe Southern Iron Com
pany will on the first of January next begin
the 'construction, at Chattanooga, of two
large open-hearth furnaces, which will make
in the aggreeate 70 or 80 tons of steel per
day. These" will be in connection with the
steel rail mill there which the company
wns.
The company has ores that are practically
Bessemer, which it expects to convert into
Bessemer steel rails, and if so, to use both
The Bessemes-and the basic processes. For
the present the basic open-hearth method of
making steel will be used.. Other methods
will be adonted if deemed practicable.
The Southern Iron Company expects to
soon commence the construction of tin plate
mills, in connection with the furnace in
Cbatfanooga, as the steel is said to be ad
mirably adapted to tin plate. The directors
of the company are very hopeful of the com
plete success of their pkws. '

BIS TOBACCO SPOILED.
Charles A. Wolfe, Cigar dealer, occupied
No. 9 Smithfield street, just north of the
hotel entrance. He carried a very large
stock of all kinds of manufactured tobacco,
which is almost entirelv mined. It was
fnlly insured. When Mr. Wolfe heard the
alarm he was up street. When he reached
his store fire was burning through the floor
in a rear corner. That point is at least 3(3
feet from th.e elevator shaft, where the fire
began. The fire in the floor was put out by
a hand extinguisher Next to the store of
Mr. Wolfe was the drugstore of C. P. Kirk
endall & Co. There the loss is heavv. but
is well insured. The ceiling of the room i&A
broken in many places, where the water
poured through. Mr. W. S. Anderson, one
of the lessees of the hotel, opened the office
safe soon after the fire broke ont and re
moved money and jewelry.
Two members of Engine Company No. 11
were injured shortly alter 1 o'clock by the
falling in of the roof at the southeast corner.
William Diebold and George Lang, of that
company, were in a room on the fourth floor
fighting tne lire when the ceiling and tim
bers came down upon them. They were
pinned to the floor and-severely cut and
bruised. They were soon rescued by their
comrades and were conveyed to the Homeo
pathic Hospital. They will be out in a day
or two.

COVERED BY INSURANCE.
Tbe Amount on Property and Fnrnilnre is
Aboat 8195,800 The Los la
riaced at 8100,000.
The matter of insurance has a very inter
esting phase, not only to lessors and lessees,
but to nearly all the insurance companies
in tbe city, as well as the score or so outside
that had risks. It was so widely distributed,
however,-as to cau.-i but little individual
tipple. Here is a lis., of them just as they
were picked up, the duplications being
caused by general and individual reports
just as the inquirer could find bis man:
Tbe Citizens' Insurance Company had
$2,500 on the furniture; Dilavan & Lowry
bad $5,000, divided equally between the
New Hampshire and Michigan; Edwards &
Kenny had 20,000 divided between five
companies. Their risks were placed on tbe
interests of the Crossrfn estate and
those of Messrs. F. H. Miller and
Charles J. Clarke. The Western
Insurance Company reported $36,500
on the Clarke interest, divided mainly be
tween the toIlowinccompanies:London, Liv
erpool & Globe, Boval, Home, Franklin and
Delaware, each 5,000; Phoenix, S4.000;
Providence and Washington 52,500 each,
leaving their own risk quite small. John
D, Biggert's agency had placed, $2,600 in
the Western Assurance and Pbcenix on the
furniture. W. L. Jones reported $83,000 on
the interest of the Crossan estate. He
stated that the insurance on the building
was about $150,000, divided between nearly
all the local and principal foreign compan
ies in sums averaging from $2,500 to $10,000.
It subsequently appeared that it was some
$10,000 greater, but some of it was on out
houses and adjomins property not affected
by the fire. Mr. Jones figured that the in
surance on furniture was between $25,000
and $50,000.
LIST OF THIS COMPANIES.
The People's Insurance had a $2,500 risk.
They figured the loss early in the afternoon
at 33 per cent. Joseph S. Brown reported
policies of $5,000 in the New.York Home on
the building, and $2,500 on furniture in the
London and Lancashire. Morris & Flemj
ing stated that they were interested in pol
cies to the extent of $15,000, placed on the
building and furniture in the Northern, of
London, Firemen's, of Baltimore, National,
of New York, and Farmers', of York, Pa.
They stated that their loss would depend
largely on the judgment of tbe Chief ot the
Fire Department. If he stopped throwing
water when the fire was out, they thought
there would be large salvage on the furni
ture. F. C. Miller, Esq., one of the owners, had
the matter down finer than any one else who
talked. He said there was $160,000 on the
building, $155,000 on the portion burned
and $32,500 on the furniture. He exhibited
policies showing $5,000 in the New York
Bowery; $2,500 each in the Niagara, Eeli
ance, British American, Buffalo American,
Farragut, Empire Statef Pacific, New
Hampshire, Firemen's, National and
Monongahela, and $1,500 in the Farmers'.
In addition to this the lessors of the Duild
ing had $10,000. The New York Bowery
had $2,500 on the warehouse and $1,000 on
the laundry, on which there is no loss.
Mr. Miller's insurance was placed by the
Pittsburg Limited, which in this instance
didn't limit itself to a very great extent.
During tbe last six months $55,000 have
been expended on the building and $10,000
worth of furniture added.
The lessees' rent day expired yesterday.
Tbe Boatmen's Insurance Company had a
$3,000 risk on the furniture. The M. and
M. had $2,500 on the building, and the
Franklin, of Philadelphia, $5,000. The
German-American, of New York, had
$2,000 reinsured in the Boatmen's.
COMPANIES THAT ESCAPED.
There were some people in the insurance
business that could congratulate themselves
on having failed to get policies. The
policies of the Cash and the City expired
fast June. There was some hitch, and
Captain Johnston stated that at date he was
not crying over it. The Allemannia had no
insurance on the property, except on the
drugstore. The Pittsburg had nothing. The
North British Mercantile had a $500 policy
on the barbershop.
Bend & Johns' agency had placed $5,000
each in the Boyal and Girard on the build
ing, and in the former $5,000 on Kay Bros.'
stock, whick suffered water damage.
Lockhart & Flannigau had $8,000 placed,
divided between the Anslo-Nevada, Buffalo
German and :Firemen's, of Dayton, Ohio,
$1,500 of which was in Kirkendall's drug
store. JamesjW. Arrotl bad placed on fur
niture $2,500, each in the German Ameri
can, ol" New York, and Sun and Guardian,
of London, and $15,000 on tbe building, in
the Continental, Hanover, Merchants' and
Sun. This insurance statement is necessar
ily rambling, as no one could be found who
could give the whole of it. Lumped, it ran
abont this way on the materially damaged
portion'of the property;
XNSUBANCE IN DETAIL.
The amount of insurance held by each
owner follows:
Crossan heirs 88.800
F. C. Miller ,. 40.000
ChaHes J.Clarue 30,600
Furniture 32,000
Total $19.5,800
The miscellaneous insurance was difficult
to get at in lump, but it appears to have
been ample. There were circumstances at
tending the fixe that called forth conaidw-
able comment, and the remarks of Mew,
Morris & Fleming, of Fourth avenae,
seemed to be very largely indorsed by tbe in
surance guild. They urge that the first duty
of tbe Building" Inspector is to prepare aa
ordinance requiring all freight elevators to
be provided with automatic caps that will
cutoff draft. They said underwriters were
powerless to effect the relief, but the city
should do it not only in the interest of econ
omy, but of humanity as well. They argue
that such an arrangementcould be perfected
at a cost of $10, while others argue that it
would cost $50 for each floor. It is said that
many disastrous conflagrations have been
assisted by open stairways which are nearly
as bad as elevator flumes.
THE FLIGHT OP GDESTS.
Many of Them Have Nnrrow Escapes Ref
uee Had With Friend and Relatives.
The guest of the house who had the nar
rowest escape was Mr. N. Underwood, of
Milwaukee. He was the last man to write
his name on the registry, at about 11:30
o'clock. He repaired directly to his room,
and was washing and dressing for dinner
when the fire began. He was not warned
nntil the hall outside of his room was full
of flame,. and in trying to escape that way
his hair and beard were burned. He finally
got out of the window by a fire rope.
D. C. Mason, of New York, escaped from
his room, on the west front, by letting him-,
self down on a rope made of bed clothing to
the roof of the adjoining building, occupied
by W. H. Holmes & Son. '
"it was reported that Thomas H. Hill, a
traveling salesman for Landrouth & Son, (of
Philadelphia, has lost $2,000 in cash and
valuable jewelry, which he left in his room.
The report was incorrect.
A New York drummer named W. M.
Post was in bed at tbe time of the fire, not
feeling well. When alarmed he ran down
to theoffice, got a package of diamonds from
tbe safe, returned tnrougu tne smoce to nis
room, packed his trunk hurriedly, lowered
it from the window by a rope and then slid
down himself.
Hugh Naughton, a lumber dealer of Chi
cago, saved only he key for bis room,
which he happened lo have in his pocket.
E. J. Fairfield, of Philadelphia, lost only
a few small articles, which he had in his
room.
J. L. Carnaghan. of New York, threwhis
gripsack out of a west indow to tbe top of
the Holmes building, and then let himself
down to the roof from the third floor.
The wife of Captain W. W. O'Neil occu
pied room No. 32. A porter warned her of
the fire, but not until tbe halls were full of
smoke. She was helped out through the
kitchen.
Miss E. S. Farr, a traveling saleswoman
for A. H. Bosenbaum & Co., of Boston,
dressmakers and dealers in silks, etc., oc
cupied rooms 11 and 12., She had about
$4,000 worth of ladies' costumes on exhibi
tion, the price of one of them being $500.
She was exhibiting the goods to several
ladies when tbe fire broke out. The lady
had no time to pack the goods jn her trunks
and barely escaped before the heavy smoke
filled the room. She went to the Seventh
Avenue Hotel. After the fire she went
back to look at her goods. She found them
considerably damaged, but they are in
sured. She could not take possession of the
costly fabrics until they are examined by
agents of the insurance company.
Mrs. Gusky and her son were boarders at
the house. The lady is in New York and
did not know anything of the fire until
telegraphed by Mr. DeWolf, her superin
tendent. The latter was at the store at the
time and rushed to the hotel. He got out
Master George Gusky and his sister, Jennie
DeWolf. They are now at the Seventh
Avenne. At the same house are Mr. and
Mrs. Danziger, Hugh Naughton,of Chicago,
G. W. Taylor, of New York, N. Under
wood,, of Milwaukee, W. t H. Tallman,
President of the iEtna Iron Company at
Bridgeport, O., and W. T. Graham, Secre
tary of the same company.
Milton Weston, of Haymakerford, arrived
at the hotel Tuesday morning. It was re
ported that he had $40,000 worth of railroad
bonds which he thought were lost in
the fire. He returned to the hotel and se
cured the bonds. He is now at the Du
quesne. George E. Goddard, tbe wholesale
jeweler, and his wife are at the same hotel,
with W. M. Port, the diamond merchant,
and D. Kaiser, the wholesale jeweler of
New York. '
The guests who found a refuge at the An
derson were Sterling Glover, of Buffalo; G.
P. Leatherburg, ot Baltimore, and Thomas
H. Hill, of Philadelphia, all traveling men.
J. B. Carson, the artist tailor, who
boarded in tbe house, had his rooms filled
with bric-a-brac which he has been gather
ing for the past 20 years. All of it was
damaged by water and some relics were
completely mined. Mr. Carson found
quarters at the Seventh Avenue.
W. C. Quincy, General Manager of the
Monongahela Connecting' Company, and
his family, were fortunate in securing rooms
at the Seventh Avenue. J. H. Campbell
and wife, of New York, P. M. Shannon and
wife, ot Bradford, also managed to squeeze
in at this hostelry.
The St. Charles and other smaller hotels
managed to catch some of the overflow. The
Duquesne, Anderson and Seventh Avenue
were crowded with their own guests, and
found it difficult taking care of a few oi
those who had been burned or flooded out.
The majority of the resident boarders at the
house had to find a refuge with friends and
relations in the East End and Allegheny.
All the hotels were 50 crowded last night that
dozens of travelers were turned away.
HOW THE POLICE WORKED.
Mot One Article Was Stolen Goods at the
Central Station.
The Police Bureau was on thescene avery
few minutes after the alarm was given. The
board meeting of inspectors, captains and
the assistant superintendent of police bad
just adjourned when tbe alarm was
sounded from box 16. Inspector Mc
Aleese, who is an old fireman, said
that No. 2 engine house, would not send out
an alarm unless something big was in pro
gress and started for the scene. The
Inspector, Chief of tbe Department of
Public Safety, Brown and Assistant
Superintendent O'Mara got on the ground
almost simultaneously and the manner in
which the street was roped in, the men
from the Southside and East End were put
on duty "was a sample of rapid transit
rarely equaled in this country and never
before In Pittsburg.
The special officers were at once put on
duty in the house. Detectives Coulson,
Kelly, Dimmel, Fitzgerald, Captain
Brophy and Inspectors McKelvy and
Whitehouse were soon doing the floors id
the building among the smoke, frightened
men and screaming women. Several arrests
were made of people acting suspiciously,
and a large amount of goods was taken from
people and handed over to Messrs. Ander
son and Woog, the proprietors.
At the close of the fire, Inspector Mc
Aleese detailed men from the force to patrol
the floors of the hotel and caused every door
to be barricaded except the Smithfield street
entrance, where an officer was put on duty
with one of the hotel clerks to see that no
one entered or lelt the building without
being recognized and if necessary searched.
Inspector McAleese said last evening that
there had not been tbe value of a 5-cent
piece lost by pillage during the progress ot
the fire. He had scarcely stopped speaking
when Mr. N. Underwood, agent of the
Daisy Boiler Flour Mill of Mil
wankee, Wis., entered the Central
police station and asked for a valise
which he missed, as well as a gold watch,
an overcoat and some other valuables. He
had hardly finished his description of bis
goods when they were produced, and
Brown's "Finest" placed another feather
in its cap. Several other visitors entered
afterward who missed valuables and were as
promptly informed of their whereabouts.
When the police officials got through their
work they were in the position of Mr. Mc
Ginty, very wet, and thev had to get home
for a change of clothes, which was absolute
ly required, as they had been wading up to
their knees in water as well as taking in
the spray from the hosemen.
The uaclaiaed article at fee ftatioa
hesee, fed during tbe fire, are an open
freed gold watch and chain, one" paJrjof
spectacles, one pair of eye glasses, two
satchels aad two overcoats. .'
A FAMOUS HOUSE.
The Sid HoBODeabela Has a National Repu
tation Noted Gacsts.
The Monongahela House is tbe most
famous hotel'in Pittsburg. In the days be
fore the railroads it was the stopping place
of river operators, and all tbe better class of
travelers. The greatest politicians of the
country have stopped there, and notables
from foreign lands. In the early years of
this century the site was occupied by tbe
then celebrated mansion of George Milten
bergerwhich was known far and wide as a
house of hospitality and festivity. In later
years tbe old mansion became an academy.
In 1838 the first MonoDgahela House was
built there by William- Lyon, and was
leased by Thomas Crossan. He retired
from the management after two or three
years, and was succeeded by his son, John
McDonald Crossan. Father and son made
the Monongahela House the best-known
hotel in the United States. It was the great
stopping point between East and West.
"William Henry Harrison, Henl7 Clay,
Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, Andrew
Jackscn, Louis Kossuth,' Charles Dickens,
the Prince of Wales, Dora Pedro, U. S.
Grant and other men of note found shelter
under its roof.
In the great fire of April 10, 1845, tbe
hotel was totally destroyed j fire, when
nearly every other building in tbe First
ward was burned. Lyon, Shorb & Co. im
mediately began the work of rebuilding, and
the new house, the one now standingand
injured yesterday, was opened for business
under.J. M. Crossan's management early in
1847. Tbe firm of Lyon, Shorb & Co. after
wards became financially embarrassed, and
they sold the property to the present own
ers. The Crossan heirs own one-half,
Charles J. Clarke one-fourth and tbe heirs
of A. H. Miller one-fourth. The land and
building were valued at nearly half a mill
ion dollars.
In 1883 Colonel George Griscom became
the proprietor of the house, and kept it
until last summer. On June lthe firm of
W. S. Anderson & Co. took the house on a
ten years' lease. The owners ol the prop
erty spent $60,000 on repairs, and W. S.
.Anderson & Co. put in $25,000 worth ot
new furniture.
Early in 1861 Abraham Lincoln stopped
at the Monongahela; House on his way to
Washington, and made a speech from the
balcony over the main entrance. The year
following General George B. McClelland
was given a banquet there by the Duquesne
National Guard. General Grant was enter
tained in the house in 1880.
The hotel is of brick, five stories high, has
a frontage of 160 feet on Water street and
155 feet on Smithfield street.
BADLT DAMAGED.
The Work of Cleaning- Up Will be Com
menced at Once Proprietors Deserted
by the Employe.
Charles J. Clarke, part owner of the
property, was nnable to estimate the loss to
tbe building. It will exceed $75,000, how
ever. During the summer the building was
improved to the extent ot $60,000. Bepairs
will begin at once. Neither Mr. Anderson
nor Mr. Woog were able last evening to
make an estimate of their loss. Their fur
niture and other property was worth at least
$60,000. Tableware and similar articles are
saved. Much of the silverware was carried
out of the hotel when the fire broke out, and
afterward taken back and placed in the cafe.
Last night Detectives Coulson, Shore and"
Bobinson and half a dozen patrolmen kept
watch over the desolated hotel, preventing
the entrance of thieves. Mr. Anderson and
son, and Clerk Statler were in the office.
Mr. Anderson said that just as soon as he
could get men he would begin the work of
cleaning up, and he was trying to hire work
men last night. His help had disappeared
for the evening. Mr. Anderson told Chief
Evans that if tbe building was saved the
Chief should have a gold watch.
One of the worst scenes of destruction is to
be seen in the elegant new dining room on
the First avenue side. That room was
painted, frescoed and decorated about three
months ago at a cost of $20,000. Its walls
and ceiling are utterly ruined.

While In New York Scbmelz's patience has
been rewarded- He did not reckon wlthont

Tbe rivalry between the two teams
will be more bitter than ever, for Tom Lof tus
and Gns Schmelz will worK all the arts nf

NEW ADVEETISEMESTS;
Coughing
IS Natma's effort to expel foreign sub
stances from tbe bronchial passages.
Frequently, this causes inflammation
and the need of an anodyne. No other
expectdrant or anodyne is equal to
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It assists
Nature in ejecting the mucus, allays
Irritation, induces repose, and is tho
most popular of all cough cures.
" Of the many preparations before tha
public for the cure of colds, coughs,
Dronchitis, and kindred diseases, there
is none, within the range of my experi
ence, so reliable as Ayer's Cherry Peo
toraL For years I was subject to colds, .
followed by terribls coughs. About four .
years ago, when so afflicted, I was ad
vised to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and
to lay all other remedies aside. I did
so, and within a week was well of my -cold
and cough. Since then I have)
always kept this preparation in tha
house, and feel comparatively secure."
Mrs. L. L. Brown, Denmark, Miss.
"A few years ago I took a severe cold-"-which
affected my lungs. I had a ter- -rible
cough, and passed night after-.
night without sleep. The doctors gava .
me up. I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
which relieved my longs, induced sleep, i
and afforded the rest necessary for tha
recovery of my strength. By the con
tinual use of the Pectoral, a permanent
cure was effected." Horace Fairbrother,
