Tuesday evening the village board of Florence will pass an ordinance granting a franchise to the Omaha Street Railway company, permitting it to use the streets of that village for its line, which, it is belleved, will be constructed in a short time. It is sald that there is a slight hitch in the arrangements by which the company was to extend its line from Ames avenue along Twenty-fourth street and that Mr. Parker, who offered to donate to the city a boulevard in that part of town, has de- cided to reconsider his offer. This action on his part is said to have been caused by the street rallway company, which does not desire to bind itself to have the Flor- ence line In operation by November 1.

Are Conmumed— to Stop Okl, July 14.—Four blocks of business houses on the public square were destroyed in less than three hours' time by o fire that started after midoight last | night. The water supply was inadequats and 1t was necessary to blow up buildings with dynamite to check the flames. Owing to the continued drouth everything burned like matchwood. , A 1ight wind blowi:g from the southeash saved the eastsrn part of the town. The total loss is estimated at sMghtly over $100,000. The fnsurance will be light The fre started at 1202 in tha two- story hotel bullding near the sjutheast corner of the square, owned by John Ben- ton, and spread quickly to the big Gensman hardware house on the corner. Both with contents, were soon con- The fire burned south and soon in turn the Snyder furniture store, the Cramer restaurant and hotel, Mauldin’s furniture store, Central bote! a butcher shop, in which $1,000 fn cash was consumed, and the Enid carriuge works. Then going east It consumed the Yeakey shop and three small buildings Here it jumped across the sfrast weat, destroying the wholesale cstablishment of Crandall & Grubb and the St. Joseph hotel. The Armour Packing company's building was next destroyed and following this the entire south block oi the square, consist- ing mainly of frame buildings, among which were the Montezuma hotel, the Clivinger bullding, the Weekly Bvents printing oMice and the Weatherby build- ing. The firemen finally were compelled to blow up several buildings with .yna- mite and in this manner succended in checking the flames by 3 o'clock this mern- ing. The postoffice and the landoMce were saved only after a hard fight. The heaviest losers are: Gensman Bros., $26,000; Cran- dall & Grubb, $30,000. In most cases these losses were almost total. Enid is a town of about 6,000, situated on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail- road, and Is the county seat of Garfield county. It was established at the open- Ing of Oklahoma, over ten years ago, and Is one of the most prosperous towns in the territory. ENIT Krog Park— Forty-soven extra cArs were necessary to carry the crowd to Krug's park and the sizo may be estimated from the fact that one of the gates alone gave entrance to 17,006 admissions exclusive of passes. Tho heat was littlo felt at the pretty summer resort, the cool breezes making shirtwalsts unnecessary. All of the amusements were well attended during the day. Starting with the program given by the Lorenz concert band fn the afternoon the greatest enthusiasm was manifested. The balloon ascension by Prof. Fancher, who was formerly connected with the government service, was a plessing spectacle. On next Suuday the balloon aco between Prof. Fancher and Sam Mur- phy of the Murphy Bros.' company, will oc- cur. An hour before the time for the moving pictures to be put on several thousand peo- ple had pre-empted the chairs and settees which were on the grounds and it is esti- mated that 10,000 witnessed the display. The plctures, representing the Savior on His last trip to Jerusalem, the last supper and the many scenes at the crucifixion were most impressive and were received with the greatest respect by the vast throng which witnessed them. The high dive of the dog Crowley and the paraciute jump of Mrs. McGinnis were at- tractions which added greatly to the day's entertainment. FIRE RECORD. Dotler Works Burned. ST.
