DISTANCE GUNS

1 LIVES LOST IN
LOUISVILLE FIRE
n-Scliley • I*i«i»«Ir>-.
LONDON, July 27.—A remarkable
record hus recently been brought to
light concerning the distance at which
the firing of heavy guns can be heard.
These discoveries have an' important
bearing upon rain-making experiments
and throw aide lights upon the Satnp-
aon-Bchley controversy. An expert
named C. Davidson made elaborate
preparations to take observations of
fleet firing when the late Queen Victo
ria's body was taken from Cowes to
Portsmouth. The result of these obser
vations established the fact that the
reports of heavy guns were clearly
audible at the extraordinary distance of
340 miles inland, while at a distance of
eighty-four miles the reports were so
loud that laborers in the fields put
down their spades to listen, and nt six
ty-one miles from the guns, windows
were shaken and other symptoms of
concussion were . shown not usually
conected with any but adjac^nt-detona-
tlona. The statements b*ar upon the
Bampsou-Bchley controversy In so
much an Admiral Schley's statement,
made May 23, 1898, concerning the
hearing of guns forty mljes away which
ho believed was the Spanish fleet, wa*
received by many persohs with consid
erable Incredulity.

LOUISVILLE, July 27.—In a fire
vhich this morning destroyed the prop
erty of the Bagley-Graham Photograph
Company. Max Belovitch, a cigar-
maker, and Policeman James Purden
e burned to death In an'effort to
ue women and children who occu
pied rooms above the store.
Shortly after midnight a terrible ex
plosion awoke everybody in the neigh
borhood and among the first to arrive
before the building on Jefferson street
adjoining the offices of the Associated
Press, was Max Belovitch, a cigar-
maker, living across the street. Hardly
had the first explosion died away before
he had dashed up the side fctglrs into
a room where there were women and
children. About the time he reached
the second floor he must have fallen,
for when picked up only a few moments
afterwards his flesh was burned
crips. Policeman Purden was found on
the third floor suffocated and several
firemen were taken out, some of whom
will probably die.
At 1 o'clock it is reported that nix
or seven lives were lost In the Are, but
this cannot be verified at this hour.
Heverai are reported missing and may
be in the ruins. The fire spread with
such rapidity that even the fire-fighters
were nonplussed.
When tho first crash came there was
nothing but smoke, but In a moment
afterwards the place was a veritable
fire trap from floor to roof. The loss
is about ffiO.OOO; Insurance unknown,
