Trork of the World’s Fair Fire De partment Left the Hoad, Owing to the Darkness—One Man Was Kill ed and Two Others Injured When a Tree Was Struck—Persons Were Overcome In the Building and Rescued by Firemen. pt. Louis. Nov. 19.—The Missouri state building at the World's Fair was destroyed by fire early this evening-, resulting from the explosion of a hot water heater in the basement. In stantly the flames shot up through the rotunda and the north wing and cupola were a solid mass of flames within ten minutes after the explosion. The loss cannot be estimated accur ately, owing to the temporary con struction material, which has no sal vage value. The principal loss is in the contents of the building. The building cost $145,000 and in it were 575,1*10 worth of furnishings, the most valuable of which were portraits of all former Missouri Governors and Su preme judges. These cannot be re placed. The lire was the most spectacular that has occurred in St- Louis in years. Thousands of persons hurried fr,-in all portions of the grounds, at tracted by the sheet of flames that spurted from the top of the cupola. Sparks were carried over the United States government building and as far northwest as the Liberal Arts pal ace. Bucket brigades were hurried to the roofs of these buildings to pre vent ignition. Meantime from all quarters of the prounds the fire departments had responded and were augmented by apparatus from the city department. Salvage corps were formed by both Jefferson Guards and the World’s Fair visitors, and as much property as could be secured within a few mo ments was carried into the Louisiana State pavilion adjacent. Mrs. Belle Hall Small of Sedalia, Mo., one of the state hostesses, rush ed into her apartments In the build ing to secure some valuables. A fire man followed her info the smoke and found her lying on the floor overcome. Placing a wet handkerchief over her face, he carried her into the open air, where she was revived. J. P. Nixon of Lebanon, Mo., an attache of the building, was overcome by smoke, while carrying some prop erty out doors. He also was rescued by a fireman and was carried in an un scious condition to the Wisconsin build ing. where he was revived. While responding to the alarm of fire Capt. Edward O’Neill of the World's Fair truck No. 4 was seriously hurt, George Garbenbach was killed and Jeremiah Fagin of the Same company was probably fatally injured. It was necessary for the truck to pass through the mining gulch, and owing to the darkness the horses left the road. They separated, when approaching a large tree, the pole striking the ob struction with terrific force, upsetting the truck and hurling the crew in every direction. Uuried Beneath Wall. After the flames were under con trol and had been sufficiently exin guishod to permit the firemen to en ter the building the south wall fell without warning and buried Lloyd Randolph, driver of city engine No. 28 and Frank O’Connor of city truck No. 9. Several others only escaped by a small margin. Several streams of water were in stantly directed upon the debris cov ering the men and they were rescued before the fire spread to where they were entombed. They were badly bruised and it is thought Randolph is fatally injured. BATES’ BODY FOUND IN AN AUTOMOBILE. Mystery Offered and Love and Bank Bobber* Are Suggested.

The Japanese did not return to the attack the same day, and left a great number of dead uninterred upon the field. ‘‘On Oct. 31, the enemy twice as saulted, but each time was repulsed at the point of the bayonet and by hand grenades. Several of our officers and men were wounded. “The spirit of the troops Is excellent. It Is difficult to establish any distinc tion as regards bravery. All are he roes. Bombardment of the fortress continues without intermission.” Gen.

C.—Some One or More of the Clrcna Employes Suspected—All -JVe re Searched, But Nothing Wns Found to Indi cate Their Gnllt—Authorities Are Mystified, Norfolk, Va.. Nov. 19.—While en route on a fiat car between Greenville and Tarboro, N. C., early this morning the ticket wagon of the Forepaugh & Sells Bros, circus was entered and robbed of $30,000. The entrance to the wagon was ef fected by the use of the regular keys, which had been stolen from the treas urer of the circus. The robbery was not discovered until after the entire circus, which was traveling in three sections over the Atlantic Coast Line, had reached Tarboro. The ticket wag tm was on the second section and ar rived at Tarboro at 1 o’clock Saturday morning. The first section reached there a half hour earlier and the third at 3 o’clock in the morning. It was 5 o’clock before the robbery had been discovered, and from that time until late to-night, when the last report was received in Norfolk by tele phone. a continuous search of the ef fects of people connected with the cir cus has been in progress. The police are holding a man and woman, both performers, on suspicion of aaving committed the robbery. It has been impossible so far to secure the names of these two people. Theories of the Robbery. Several theories are held by the po lice and circus people. One of these is that the robbery was committed while the train was in motion and that the money was thrown oft the train. Searching parties are at work along the line between Tarboro and Green ville in an effort to find any trace of the money or of any person who might have left the train with it. Up to this time no one has been missed from the circus crowd. Another theory is that the cash has been hidden in Tarboro by the rob bers, and innumerable search warrants have been sworn out. Armed with these the regular police and special detectives are searching every place in Tarboro thought likely to conceal the money. There were a score of arrests made during the day among the circus peo ple. All apprehended were taken into custody on suspicion and while In the town lock-up their belongings were searched at the show grounds. Abso lutely no trace of the money has been found.

Edwards, a Well-10-Do Farmer, Was Shot by Charlie Dnvl*—Before He Died Edward* Shot Davis, Who Wu* Then Killed by Extent Ed ward*—Dispute About Cotton. Daisy, Ga., Nov. 19.—A. J. Edward* was shot and almost Instantly killed this afternoon by Charlie Davie, a negro. Even before the life had passed from his father's body, however, Eu gene Edwards, son of A. J. Edwards, had avenged his death. He sent bul lets into the negro’s body that laid him low, snuffing out his life Just as Mr. Edwards passed away. The Edwards place is about three miles from here, and Mr. Edwards was one of the most substantial farmers and best citizens of Tattnall county. He was paying off the hands that had been employed upon the place. One of these was Charlie Davis. Davis had expressed some dissatisfaction about cotton that he had picked, and over which there was some disagree ment between Mr. Edwards and him self. He had said that he was going to stop work on the Edwards place and ao elsewhere. While the small crowd was gather ed to receive pay, with Eugene Ed wards and J. R.

The sentiment le that Dsvts met a deserved death, for he had alien ed fire before Mr. Edwards had made any movement to draw a weapon. SAVANNAH AND CHATHAM WILL BE BENEFICIARIES. Controller General and Attorney General Confident of This. Atlanta., Nov. 19.—Both the Con troller General and the Attorney Gen eral controvert the idea advanced in the Morning News by one of Chatham county’s officials with regard to coun ty taxes on the Western of Alabama stock held by the Central of Georgia, should that stock finally be taxed in the same manner as that of the Geor gia Railroad and Banking Company under the decision of the United Btates Supreme Court. If the state succeeds in bringing into Its tax net the stock held by the Cen tral of Oeorgla it will be taxable only by the state. Savannah and Chatham county. It will not be distributed among all the counties of the system, as was stated In an interview by the Savannah official. Hence Savannah and Chatham county will each get a good lump sum In taxes whenever the Central has to pay up. This principle was decided In Eighty ninth Georgia, in the case of Wright against the Columbus Southern, In which the constitutionality of the Glenn bill was attacked. It was there held that such personal property as has no fixed situs, 'ike rolling stock, must be distributed among all the counties through which the railroad runs, but that personal property, which has a fixed situs, such as stocks, bonds, office furniture and the like. Is sub ject to taxation only In the county in which it Is held. Controller General Wright states there Is no doubt on this point. He has never toad any trouble with the matter since the decision in the Eighty-ninth Georgia was rendered. SEVEN PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM JAIL Got the Bor* and Slid Down a Blan ket Ituae. Charlotte, N.
