Decupants of the New House of Black Cat Society Were Compelled to Climb Down a Tree to Escape. (Spectal to The Evening World.) ST. LOUIS, June 4.—The greatest far In the history of the world was threat: ened with destruction to-day by two mysterious fires which occurred at an hour when the blaze would be most Ukely to obtain a big headway and sweep the groun Though the fires were subdued, one of the ornate bulldings In which the fire started is a mass of blackened ruins, having been burned to the grounds, ‘That the fire did not com- municate to the other buildings was due to the good work of the fire de- partment on the grounds. The building destroyed was the Hoo- Hoo structure, on the Plateau of the Btates, next the Texas Bullding, and from which In a southerly direction are the magnificent buildings erected at the expense of the various States of the Union, ‘There was fear that the fire might de carried to the star-shaped bulldlng of Texas, and there was no telling where {t would have stopped. Second Fire Threntenn the Pike, The second fire, as mysterious as the first, was along the Pike, where, had it obtained headway, scarcely anything copld-have prevented {t from sweeping, perhaps one whole side of the attrac- tions that are so popular, ‘The, Hoo-Hoo House was a frame ajructure, erected by the society of that name, which is composed of lumber sylesmen and railroad freight agents. ‘There were meting rooms and a Dall in the building, and above ft on the fecond floor was a restaurant, man- aged by J, J. Hickey, Mr. Hickey and this help were also quartered In the Dullding, and were asleep at the time the fire was discovered by one of the Jefferson guards on patrol, Manager and Help Escape. The. guard at once gave the alarm, @nd soon apparatus was rattling to (he spot from all parts of the grounds.

Raymond Smith, Jr, twenty years old, of No, 321 Harrison street Parsaic, N. J., while defending his aged father from assault, was arrested, but dis. charged in the First Criminal Court, Jersey City. to-day when Judge Hig- gins heard his story. The Judge also took ocoasion to com- mend the accused for his act According to the story told in court young Smith and his father were leav- ing a Chambers street ferry-boat at the foot of Payonia avenue, Jersey City, Inst night at the same time that a Wells- Fargo Express Company wagon drove off. The driver failed to notice the Smiths, and the pole between the team of horses jabbed the elder Smith tn the back, Turning around, Smith grabbed one of the horses by the head and remon- strated with the driver, John Quirk, of No, 109 Erie street, Jersey City, superintendent for the Wells-Fargo Co, in the Erte Ratiroad depot, the accused alleged, rushed over and dealt Smith a blow in the face. The younger Smith would not stand and soe! his old father assaulted, so sailed in and with an upper-cut felled Quirk for the full eount, According to Smith about twenty of the express company's employees who witnessed the trouble jumped on him and called a policeman, The young mun was taken to the Seventh street station, but quickly balled and appeared in Court to-day, Quirk told his story to Judge Hig- gins and was followed by tha elder Smith. The younger Smith was then examined, and in hin defonse sald: “Judge, I couldn't stand to see my old father assaulted by that man. so 1{ landed on him good and hard.” “Dincharged; you did perfectly right and T admire ‘your. nerve, sag ett Judge.
