Made Frantic by the Flames Jump From a Window. Girls MANGLED ON A ROOF BELOW. Criminal Carelessness the Cause of Many Being Injured—Some Fatally. McDonald’s extensive tobac: Ontario street was partly destroyed © this evening. The loss million dollars, on which there is no insur- ance. There was not a fire escape on the out- side nor any applian. on the inside of the building for the fighti f the fire. Even the windows were guarded by heavy iron screens, presumably to prevent theft. The fire started at 4 c’clock in the drying- room and for a while smoldered. Then suddenly the flames burst throughanda most awful panic ensued. There were 900 employ the building and more than half this number were women and girls. The shrieks of the women as they beat against the iron screens, praying the crowd | todo something to save them, were most | beartrending. As the flames burst through | four firemen were on the roof, and for | twenty minutes their lives were despaired | of, until finally ladders were found to bring | them down. | They were badly burned. The girls were | nearly all on the fourth floor and were | frantic with fear. With much trouble one | of the iron lattices was knocked off, when | one of the girls jumped and was almost | shattered to picces when she reached the | Toof of an adjoining warehouse. In a| similar manner the oth number of thirty. The ambulances were | kept busy carrying the women and girls | to the hospital, and some were driven in cabs to their homes. So far only i known to be dead, but several are believed to be in the ruin: It was nearly midnight before the place | could be entered safely, and owing to the | darkness very little w can be | fore mornir The Associated Press correspondent in- | terviewed several who escaped. T ¥ the scene on the fourth floor was beyond description. When the first rush for the stairw arred. the passage was soli packed, a ny fainted and fell ¢ the feet crowd. Then a rush wa made to the windows. But the forgot about the guarded that me women tore the the cruel ebstr too strong for th !~ Death seemed i Gagnon found a window that yielded to Croy the irons were | the determined blows of those who could | get their united efforts to bear. This win- | dow overlooked an extensive one-story | warehouse. Without a moment’s hesita- | tion the woman leaped onmto the roof below. Encouraged by her daring and | impelled by the smoke and flames which | were making rapid progress in that part of the building, other women followed her ex- | ample until about twenty maimed and | bruised forms were piled on the warehouse | roof. By this time the passageway had | become sufficiently cleared to permit a more rapid clearing of the building. The work of rescue by mea fire extension | Jadders was in progress and many almost | inanimate forms were carried out by the firemen. On the thir the scen but, bein; yor, where tlie fire started, most as heartrending, d sooner, the operatives there were able to escape quicker by the stairways. Many were terribly crushed in the mad rush, but the most serious casual- ties were coniined to those cn the top floor. Gre; dignation is expressed against the officials whose duty it is to see that the law is enforced in regard to the fire-escape appliances. From inquiries at the hospitals at a late hour to-night concerning the condition of the ' girls injured by jumping from the window of the burning building, it was Learned that but little hope is entertained for the recovery of at least five. Marie Gagnon, the first girl to make the terrible leap from the fourth fioor, was picked up with her back broken.and cannot live many hours. BESIEGED THE FORTRESS Persistent Attacks Made by the Natives on the Citadel of Chitral. After Days of Hard Fighting the British Forces Finally Routed the Enemy. CALCUTTA, April 25.—A dispatch from Simla to-day announces the contents of the diary of Dr. Robertson, the British political agent at Chitral, who was besieged in a fort there and relieved on Saturday last by 2 column commanded by €olonel Kelly, which reached Chitral from Gilgit, after accomplishing a brilliant military achievement in passing over the snow- covered Shandar Pass, 12,000 to 14,000 feet -above the leyel of thesea, He says on the march the British garrison lost twenty-two officers and men killed and thirty-one wounded. The siege proper began on March 4. On the 8th the enemy tried to set fire to the water-tower, and on the 14th the besiegers attacked the east side of the fort, but were repulsed. The tribesmen occupied the sum- mer-house, about fifty yards from the tower, on April 15, and on the 16th ad- vanced and stormed breastworks to within forty yards of the main gate of the fort. On April 7 the enemy fired the tower. While the garrison was fighting the flames Dr. Robertson was wounded and several of the British force were killed or wounded. The enemy attempted on April 8 to set fire to the citadel, and on the 11th the fort was attacked on all sides. The garrison made a sortie on April 17, recaptured the summer-house and blew up the enemy’s mine. The British loss in the sortie was eight killed and thirteen wounded. The enemy lost sixty killed, of | the si s followed to the | | second, Cyclone third. | Cindersal third. | second, Kimberly third. Time, | Winners of the Games Played in troops. On April 19 the siege was raised. The British soldiers suffered terribly from bad food and the exhaustion of the medical stores. The heavy loss of life suffered by the besieged was due to the splendid marks- manship of the tribesmen. T e e Newfoundlund Yet Holds Out.

Four robust members of the Epworth League rode from this eity fo Los Gatos yesterday where the annual convention of the league was opened early in the day. For some time past Dr. Thomas Fletcher, wkho is an enthusiastic wheelman, and be- longs to the Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation Bicycle Club, has been laboring to nave the delegates to the fifth annual Ep- worth League convention of this district cover on bicycles the distance from this city to Los Gatos, where the convention began yesterday. The sixty-five miles of dusty road, however, proved a difficulty which thirty odd delegates had no desire to overcome, so when the appointed hour artived only Dr. Fletcher, R. A. Brayman, R. E. Cuarrie and S. J. Hammond Jr. were on hand with their bicyles. Nothin, daunts Dr. Fletcher, though. He has nfi the sanguine nature of an adventurous Englishman. % uring the Young Men’s Christian As- sociation gathering at Santa Cruz he then and there set the pace for a total disregard of the conventional methods of transporta- tion, and while others lounged in cush- ioned railway cars he rode to Santa Cruz astride his bicycle. So_numbers were of little concern to Dr. Fletcher, when the start was made from the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, corner of Twenty-first and CBYP streets, at a few minutes after 7 A. M. In his cream-colored sweater and black stock- ing he was happy with three genial com- panions to boot. “‘About ten miles an hour elsilg, and a splendid road all _the way,”” was the hope- ful manner in which he put it when the signal to start was given, and President . E.8nook of the League Alliance wished him and his comrades a merry god-speed. At ten miles an hour Los Gatos could be reached in time for'the convention opening. Fletcher was in the lead, with young Hammond a fair second, Brayman a prom- ising third and Currie a leisurely fourth as they rolled ont Twenty-first street to Folsom. They then disapEeared to go out the San Brunoroad and take the bay shore road. : The other delegates left on the narrow- gauge train at 8:154. M. About 150 dele- g]:tes, it was thought, would take part in the convention, which lasts until this evening. i The following papers to be read were on the programme: “Epworth Army at Chattanoogo,” by C.A. Maydwell; “Morcy and fiéfi‘,-- (4 Mise M. E. Speakman; “The Spiritual Department,” by W. H. Hammon; “The Social Department,” by Miss Lottie M. Manzer, and Dr.J. N. Beard is hooked for an address to-day on the question, “How Can the League Help the University?” and C. W. Coyle on the question of “OurLit- erature.” The address of welcome at Los Gatos was made by Rev. H. F. Briggs and responded to by Rev. R. S. Cantine, D.D. LATE WHEELING NEWS. More Suspensions by the Racing Board. Programme of the Bay City ‘Wheelmen'’s Meet. R. M. Welch, chairman of the local rac- ing board of the League of American Wheelmen, has granted sanctions to hold bicycling events as follows: April 26, Stanford Cycling Club, Palo Alto; May 1, Riverside Polo Club, Riverside; May 9, Santa Rosa Wheelmen, Santa Rosa.

As stated exclusively in the CArLw last ‘Wednesday Oscar Osen has been again suspended by Chairman Gideon of the Na- tional Racing Board. Osen’s ex-i\lanati()u of his disposition of certain bailding lots at Pheenix, which he won as prizes last ovember, was not satisfactory and he will have to be more explicit if he wants the cloud on his amateur standing removed. A Run to Mill Valley. Captain A. C. Thornton has issued the following notice to Olympic Club wheel- men: A clubrun \vlg be called to MiH Valley next Sunday, April 28. Take 9 o'clock boat for Sau- salito. This isa nice easy rum, only eleven miles, over level roads, and a slow pace will be set. e geta first-class meal at the valley.

Races That WIIl Take Place To- Morrow In the Oakland Estuary. Notwithstanding the fact that the Uni- versity boathouse and the club’s new and handsome yacht was destroyed by fire on Wednesday last, the rowing contests will positively take place, as vpreviously an- nounced in the CArL, to-morrow afternoon, and an excellent day’s sport is sure to re- sult, as the crews are well trained and an- xious for the race, which will be held in the Qakland estuary, off Sessions Basin, between the “U. C.”” Boating Association and the Columbia Boat Club. The men who will make up the U, C. team are Dwight Hutchinson, No. 1; Wil- liam M. Cole, No. 2; John L. Whitten- meyer, No. 3; N. C. Grew, stroke and captain, and Easton, coxswain. hose who will pull the oars for the Columbia_Club are A.D. Smith, No. 1; Paxton Howard, No. Alexander Ros- borough, No. 3; Harry Haight, stroke and cavtain, and J. Clement, coxswain. Both crews have been training faithfully for the past six weeks and are in excellent condition for the contes The Columbias have slightly the advan- tage over the U. C. team, owing to the fact that two men on their team are old racers, having held places in the shell under the colors of Harvard and Yale. The University crew hag been training ‘under the direction of Coach Garnett, the Harvard graduate, who did so much toward interesting the college boys in aquatic sports last year. At the opening o? the training season this year so great was the desire among the brawny-armed students to be put on” the crew_ that nine- teen tried for the four places to be filled. G. Folger of Harvard has had the Co- lumbia crew in charge, and has spared no effort to put the men in good training. Two new racing-shells, exactly alike in every detail, each 40 feet long and weigh- ing 190 pounds, have been made especially for this contest at a cost of $400 for the two. The course over which the crews will race is to be one mile and return, the start and finish being at the same point. A grand stand which will accommodate 1500 spectators has been erected near the boathouses, immediately in front of the finish, and commanding a view of the en- tire ecourse. A new style of rowing for men on this coast will be introduced by each team, and the main purpose of the contest seems to be to determine which of the two forms of rowing will bring the best results. The University Club team will try the combination stroke, which the victorious Cornell team will use when they row against Oxford this summer. The Colum- bias will try the Bob Cook stroke, used so successfully by the Yale crew of "94. In addition to the scull race between the University Club and Columbia crews there will be single sculls by members of the Alameda Boating Club, the Columbias and University Club. If the weather per- mits there will also be a number of swim- ming contests. Governor Budd and his staff have signi- fied their intention of being present at the race, and from the number of tickets that have been disposed of it seems as though it will be a society event, The officials of the day have not yet been decided upon, They will in all prob- ability be named on the ground at the time of the race. ————————— Scientifio Handball, Handball games are to take place as fol- lows at P.

OUT AT THE RACETRACK, A Hurdle Race That Abounded in Tumbles and Narrow Escapes. A RIDER SLIGHTLY INJURED. In the Match Race for $1000 Sera- phin Ran Away From Le~ dette Filly. Mero, winner ofthe “dumping” race, was a 10 to 1 shot. Johnny Coleman bet a small keg of money on Ricardo. George Rose hit the ring hard over Lady Jane's victory. Three spills in the jumping race is keeping up to the times. Nick Hellis a poor matchmaker. The Ledette filly was never in it. Johnny Weber will be seen in the saddle again. The clever pilot can now ride at 115 pounds. John Fields, the colored trainer, is a kingpin at the jumping-horse business. Every horse he takes hold of wins. Jockey Chevalier should have one of the Lamleys give him a pointer or two on how to get away from the post. The press-stand is greatly out of angle or else Starter Fergnson was very much out of form with his bunting in that last start. “Butch” Covington will remain here some time yet and race his mare Lulu. “Butch’ has been taking hammam baths and expects to do the riding himself. Joe McCarty arrived with the horses of the Pleasanton stable from Los Angeles yesterday. Two more carloads of racers that left here for the Fiesta race meeting will arrive to-day. Heinrichs would do well to run out to the beach every morning and endeavor to show some of the form he displayed earlier in the meeting. Those hypnotic rides are becoming very fatiguing. George Covington, the popular owner and trainer, departed for Chicago yesterday with his string of horses, comprising imp. Thorn, imp. Vigor, Tamerlane, Find Out and Birdie C, | the latter a very speedy Red Iron filly, that | will bear watching. Alec Covington (the Major) also left with the string. | But for the excitement caused by horses turning somersaults over fences, jockeys | spinning on their heads, and finally a 15| to 1 chance winning the hurdle race, the | sport could have been accounted tame at | the track yesterday. The sportisto a de- | gree losing its charm for the fair sex, for their numbers have been thinning out of late, and yesterday the diminution was | marked.

TRIED T0 DAUG A HORSE The Ledette Filly Had a Nar- row Escape From a “Doping.” A Colored Stableman Charges Tom Warren With the Das- tardly Act. A very neat little scheme was nipped in the bud at the racetrack on Wednesday evening, whereby the Ledette filly, which ran in the match race yesterday against Seraphin, was to have been drugged, ostensibly for the purpose of making it a “cinch’’ for Seraphin. Late Wednesday afternoon a colored man, known as Cuba, in the employ of Charles Boots, owner of the Ledette filly, was approached by a man named Fred Warren, also known as Tom Warren, & parasite of the turf, who, so it is alleged, made the fact known to the colored man that it would be $100 in his pocket if he would consider his proposition. “Cuba’ says the proposal was to give the filly a dose of hypnotizing litiuid. Accompanying it, as a sort of legal binder, was a $5 goid piece, To all intents the colored employe readily assented to the scheme, and was to receive the balance pocket. Morgan G, the 9 to 20 favorite, galloped away with the race from an extra | bad assortment. The Wah-to-Wah filly | downed Halifax for the place in a drive. Educated money said Sympathetic’s Last | for the next race, over the short six fur- longs, while the public coin said Centurion. It was a problem easily solved. | Getting away from the post fourth when | the fla 1#011, Sympathetic’s Last soon went to the front and was never headed, winning | by a length from the 9 to 5 favorite Cen- turion, who came fast at the finish. Miss Buckley was a fair third. Rear Guard made such a show of Tar and Tartar a few daysago that even money was eagerly gobbled up against him, and | the ring was shouting for Jack Richelieu | money, his price finally reaching threes. | Of the outsiders Don Cwsar at 10 to 1 and Trix at 8 to 1 received considerable sup- ort. k Getting somewhat the best of the start Kitty L beaded the field past the quarter, when Jack Richelieu went to the front and | was never headed, winning ridden out, a length in front of Rear Guard. Trix wasa | distant third. | Fourth on the card, the match'race, short six furlongs, between Seraphin and the Ledette filly for $1000 a side, proved very | one-sided. " The betting against Seraphin | was 3 to 10, and 11 to 5 against the Ledeite filly. | The favoriteled from the drop of the flag, winning in a jog. | The mile and a quarter hurdle race was the scene of a chapter of tumbles and nar- row escapes. Carmel made his debutasa “lipper” and was plugged at 214 and 3 to 1. North at threes and Esperance at 5 tol were next in demand. While leading Chiquito struck the third jump and, turning a complete somersault, iundt-d on the inside of the inner rail, rol ing on his rider, Swift. The jockey lucki escaped with a dislocated elbow. Prince Idle also met with disaster at this jump, his rider escaping uninjured. Mero as- sumed command nenring the stretch and won at the end y by three lengths from North, with Esperance third, halfa length n\\'nf'. Modesto, while coming fast, struck the last jump, taking a nasty tum- ble. Hennessy escaped injury. On performances Ricardo had all the | best of it, and was backed for a barrel of | money to win the last number on the card, | a six-furlong sprint. Although heavily | Flaycd he opened at 24 to 1 and closed but half a point lower. Faro at threes and McFarlane at 7 to 2 were also well backed. Outside of her owner, Bookmaker Rose, Lady Jane was lightly supported., It was all over irom the fall of the flag. | Lady Jane got a flying start of three open lengths, and won by three lengths from the favorite, who was let off very badly. Huntsman was a poor third. It was one of Starter Ferguson's worst efforts in a ood while, and caused considerable grum- gling. MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY. SAN Fraxctsco, April 25, 1895.

Yale locks placed on the filly’s stall, and, as an extra precaution, two of his most trusted men were put on watch to guard the stabie. The filly ran in the match, -and was easily defeated, but showed no signs of having been drugged. The whole case was laid before President ‘Williams of the Jockey Club, and a thor- ough investigation of the affair is going on. The drug is in_the hands'of a chem- ist for analysis, and if found that its effects would have been fatal, Warren, who is under arrest, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, prescribed in spch cases. That others were concerned in the das- tardly job is certain, and the stewards in- tend sifting the matter to the bottom, and if the guilty persons are brought to light, some ruling off will probably be done. From facts learned in connection with the case, the stewards have suspended Denny Lynch, one of the owners of the Arizona stable. . P. Mogan, a young lawyer who was qlected by the solid eight of the Board of Supervisors as Prosecuting Attorney Judge Conlan's court, called at the City Prison last nightand demanded permis- sion to see Warren, who was_entered on the detinue book without being charged Mogan was accompanied by five well- known gamblers. He insisted on his right to see the prisoner, stating that he was Prosecuting Attorney of Police Court 2, though his appointment dates from Mg 1. He way r(‘?used admittance to the pri on, however, and had to leave with his gambler friends. NORTH GOES EAST. The University Athletic Team Will Leave for Princeton Next Month. Arthur W. North, U. C., '95, manager of the university athletic team which will start for the East on next Thursday, left his home in Yolo County last night for Denver and other points East, to complete arrangements and make new engagements for the oncoming team. He will endeavor to arrange a contest with the Denver Ath- letic Association, to take place at some date toward the close of .fime, on the re- turn trip of the team, From Denver Mr. North will go to Chi- cago, and then to Ann Arbor, where ar- rangements will be perfected for the con- test which will take place between the U, C. team and the Western Intercollegiate Athletic Association on June 1. From Ann Arbor he will ¢o directly to Philadelphia and then to Princeton, where he will remain until the team arrives on May 7. The first contest in which the U. C. team will enter will be with the Princeron men, May 11. They will then have a rest of one week, and on May 18 will meet the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania men at Phila- delphia. It is the purpose of the manager to have his team enter the Mott-Haven games at New York on May 25. This will be the largest meet in which the teams will enter, since representa- tives from all the athletic clubs within a radius of 200 miles are expected to contest. ‘At these games the team will have an ?gortumg to compare their men with the ale and Harvard athletes, as this will be the only contest in which men from the two great universities of the East will enter against the team from California. On the return trip the U. C. boys will meet the University of Michigan at Detroit on June 8, and in all probability the Denver Athletic Club on June 15. “For years I had suf- fered from falling of the womb, inflammation of the stomach, and weakness of the female organs.
