The Third Was Overcome by Heat and Smoke and Dropped Like One Dead. | Three firemen narrowly escaped death | during the burning of the Novelty Ma- | last even- | ing. Two of the men, William Little and John Bridgewooa of engine 9, plunged | through a burning roof into the flames be- low, a distance of thirty feet, and the third, Thomas Titus of engine 4, was asphyxiated by the heat and smoke and lay for an hour at the Ferry Receiving Hospital before he regained conscious- ness. The fire broke out inthe rear of the establishment about 7 o'clock. It was covered by Special Officer R. A. Sample, and he sourded an alarm from box 2 | The department responded promptly, | but before a stream could be brought to play upon the building it was wrapped in | flames. In order to prevent a general adjoining buildings and assist in extin- | guishing the blaze in the machine works. The firemen were advancing siowly over the roof of the burning building when with a crash it gave way and two of their | number went piunging into the building beiow. An alarm was immediately given and tremen below rushed into the build- ing and carried the injured men into the satery of the open air. Just as the roof gave way, the flames, augmented bv the increased draft, went seething through the lower floor ot the | building, where engine company 4 was working. Hoseman Titus was in advance | and as the wave of bot air and smoke | reached him he fell to the floor unco ous. He was grasped by several of his (")mpmnons and a retreat for the sireet was made. It was reached in safety and | | | Hospital in one of the hose wagons. At the hospital Dre. Hill and Deas attended the injured men. 1t was found that Little had sustained a contusion of the left side, a sprain of the right wrist and a severe abrasion of the rightshoulder. Bridgewood was suffer- ing from a severe contusion of the right leg. Adfter their injuries were dressed tie men were removed to their homes. Titus mas still unconscious when the hospital was reached. Stimulants were adminis- tered and in an hour he recovered. The cause of the fire is unknown, but it is believed that spontaneous combustion was responsible. George H. Mixer, owner of the buildinz and prorrietor of the ma- chine works lost ab ut $4000 in the flames. | The Perkins Pump and Engine Works' storeroom on the lower floor of the build- ing also sufferea a los- of about $500.

Ihe track and weather were favorable to good racing and ihe sport was much en- joved by all present. The 2:13 pace resulted in a walkover for the stalky Anaconda, the balance of the entries not caringto put on the gloves with him. Everybedy looked forward to see & stubbornly fought contest when the trot was decided, and everybody was ursappointed. Andy McDowell took the purse in hollow fashion with the gray horse Caryle Carne. The first event called was a special, ar- ranged 1o allow Beau Brummel, a black pacing siallion, an o,uvurtunuy oi taking a mark off 9}4. DBlue Bells was his traveling mate. The backers of the short-ender, Fitz Lee, were very jubilant at the termina- 2:20 pace. In the first pools tion of the 2 sold he brougnt but $2 with Fioracita seli- ing like red lemonade ata circus tor $10, and the field consisting of Monogram, Primrose, Visalla and Cora ¥ for $6. The first heat was taken by the favorite, with Fitz Lee, given an eusy time by Sullivan, ending up in fifth position. Fioracita must have been out gambling the night beiore and acquired a sleepy iook, for in the next batch of pools hatched out the fie'd was in biz demand aL $10, with Floracita bringing $6. In the three heats following Fitz Lee was in the iead almost irom the word, and won as he pleased, pacing the secona heat in 2:1314. When the horses were calied for iue final beat, John Baker, behind Kloracita, was removed from the bike ut the request of the judges and the reina given to Ed Laiferiy. The change was for the worse, the mare breaking ai the first turn and barely saving distance at the end, The betting on the 2:13 trot ‘assumed quite extensive proporuons before the norses were called out. Curis Petersen, bnnginF $20, ruled favorite, with the field selling for $19 and Caryle Carne $12. Con- siderable tedious scoring was indulged in vefore Starter Covey sent the six away. Mamie Griffin drew the pole, but broke at the first wurn, joining Chris Peters en, which bad also found a tack in his boot. McDowell, benind Caryle Carne, took the pole, aud, never pressed, won 'the heat easily from Ethel Downs in 2:1314. After this realistic portrayal i the un- certainties of the game Caryle sold even up agsinst the bunch at start-oif, but withered until he could be purcnased for $8, while tha field was crisp in de- mand at §20. McDowell and his gray re- peated tue dose i the second heat, this time Galette finishing in second position, Chris Petersen seemed surly and unwilliag to do nis best. With the pools all in favor of the two- heat winner, at vads of $10 10 $7 over his field, Caryie Carne was coliared and nipped out a head: by Mamie Griffin for the third heat. This misfortune couid be attributed to McDowell, for he turned wide into the siretch, allowing Suliivan, benind Mamie Griffin, to steal up on the inside. Tne wise ones now predicted that it was “ait off’’ with tue “‘Cnile-con-carne’ berse, and proceeded to back Mamie Griftin at $10, while Ca-yle and the fiela went begging a1 $5. During the interval| between the third and fourth bLeats allowed for cooling the horses out, all Wwith the exception of Caryle Carne must nave suffered an Arctic chill, for Me- Dowell’s norse Lad things his own way in the fourth and deciding heat, winning eased up’to & jogin 2:141s.
