o'clock this morning when a sharp
explosion woke the people of the city.
.Those who reached the opera holisc
saw it was in flames in nearly evely
part. The supposition was that the
boiler had exploded and brolzen ans
pipes and electric wires had contribut-
ed to an almost instantaneous spread

destroyed. The livery stable of Niles

buoyed, the exterior or the Commercial

the firemen. The hotel guests had to
make a quick exit. Twelve horses in

Mr. McMahon’s vigorous attack was
answered by Chairman Wheeler in
no uncertain terms. The chairman
stamped the objections made by Mr.
McMahon as tardy» and plcayune and
charged that Mr. McMahon had used
underhanded methods in prosecuting
his opposition.
To these arguments Mr.) McMahon
replied warmly and the upshot of the
discussion was that it was voted that.
