KANSAS CITY , Mo. , May 12. ( Special
Telegram. ) The Omaha Fishermen won
their game In the first Inning today by
bunching their hits. Omaha tapped Gear In
a lively-fashion at the start ot the gnmc.
The hlues trailed at the beginning' and
never overtook their opponents. Tho'gamo
wan a 'prelty exhibition. There were some
glaring errors on both aides , but they were
not many.
Except In the first Gear pitched good ball.
I'a FIflhcr , who twirled for his men , was
nlfio very much In the game , and , If any
thing , had a trifle the better of the pitch
ing honors. Neither aide required a search
warrant to locate the opposing pitcher , how
ever.
The DIucs started the game by doing
nothing. Manager Fisher Issued a pass to
Single and a wild pitch by the same magnate
permitted the little centerfloldcr to advance
to the second ottoman. Connaughton's fly
nestled In Kuslaco's in It. McVlckcr ( lew out
to Ilolllngsnorth , who connected with nus-
tacc , and Slagle was thrown out on the play.
The visitors In the first time up proceeded
to plunk the leather with generous and
vociferous plunks. Eustace Hew out to Con-
naiighton , but Orlflln bit safely Into the left
garden. Vlox could not reach Iloat.'s drive
nml Grlflln crossed to third. Lyons' long
lilt Into right scored the two runners. Con-
naughton handled Uurnett's liner easily and
McCauley was retired at first , after Ilooncy
Vlox's hands had been wanned.
Wilson for the Dlucs hit nafely In the second
end , although Grlflln Intercepted his liner
In pretty fashion. O'Hagan flow out to
Lyons. Williams reached first on fielder's
choice , but Wilson died nt second. Burnett
misjudged Frlsbee's long fly , and the ball
bounded BO close to the fence that the bats
man reached third , Williams scoring. Vlox
went out from Iloat to Lyons. Williams
Bothered In Holllngsworth's fly In the second
end half of the second. Hagcrman singled
Into right. Vlox's fumble gave Fisher a life ,
but Kustacc and Grlflln flow out to Slaglo
nud Frlsbee.
Fisher toyed with Gear's easy grounder In
the third and the man In blue made first.
Slaglo hit for a bag. Connaughton sacri
ficed , but Eustace got away with McVlckcr'a
fast fly and doubled on Gear. Slagle gathered
In Float's cloud chaser very prettily. Frls
bee disposed of Lyons. Burnett's drive was
of a high temperature and by striking a rut
in right field credited the batter with a
triple. McCauley retired the Fishermen by
flying out to Wllllnmi.
Very Nice Hall Flnylncr.
The Blues did nothing sensational In the
fourth. Wilson flew to Roat. O'Hagan waa
retired , Griffin to Lyons. Williams singled ,
tut was retired at second on Frlsbeo'a liner
to GrlfTln. Holllngsworth was thrown out ,
Connaughton to O'Hagan. Hagorman's
drive Into center was , good for two bogs.
Connaughton's fumble gave Fisher a bag ,
but the manager died when -Eustace hit to
abort. Grlflln went out by the Vlox-O'Hagan
route.
Holllngsworth shattered Vlox's hopes in
the fifth. Gear singled. Slaglo flow out to
< ! rinin , but Connaughton hit for a bag.
lluructt gobbled MoVlcker's skyscraper , re
tiring the' side. In tholr halt not a Babe
aw first. Roat was thrown out by Vlox.
O'Hagan killed Lyons' fly and nailed Bur
nett's twister.
The Mannlngltcs scored their second run
In the sixth. Wilson started by tapping an
exceedingly slow one , which Eustace ac
commodatingly let through htm. O'Hagan
flow to Grlflln. Williams gained first , but
Wilson was thrown out at second on his hit.
Williams gained a bag on McCauley's passed
ball. Frlsbee singled Into right and Wil
liams completed the circuit. Frlsbee stole a
base and gained third when McCauley threw
wild to second. 'Vlox retired , Fisher to
Lyons. McCauley went out from Con-
naugaton to O'Hagan. Holllngsworth
Ingled , but waa killed at second on Hager-
mau's fielder's choice. Connaughton threw
high to first , and Fisher gained hi * bag
making the initial bag. Eustaco flew to
Vlox.
Gear was retired In the seventh from Real
to Lyons. Slaglo flew to Burnett and Mc-
Cavluy gathered In Connnughton's foul. The
Omahans went out one , two , three. Griffin
failed to connect with Gear's curves. Roat
flew out to Slagle and Lyons went out from
Williams to O'Hagan.Neither McVlcker
nor Wilson was given a view of the firs
bag in the eighth. Griffin bandied O'Hagan'a
drive clumsily , but Burnett killed Williams
lly. Gear assisted In disposing of Burnett
McCauley fanned. Connaughton juggled
Holltngsworth's liner , but FrUbeo made a
beautiful catch of what Ilagerman Intcndei
for a double.
Frlsbco bunted prettily. Vlox sacrificed
Gear ( lew to Burnett , and Slagle to Holllngs-
wortb. Stuff was off. The score :

CHICAGO , May 12.-Graln elevator "D"
> elonglng to the Chicago , Burlington &
Jutncy elevator system , was destroyed by
Ore this afternoon. Losa on building and
ontcnts will aggregate about Jl,200,000.
The elevator contained 1,116,000 bushels of
grain valued nt $580,000 , the property of P.
J. AriLour. The groin was fully Insured.
At 1:30 : p m. the flro seemed to get beyond
onlrol , and was spreading rapidly Into the
umber district.
The elevator stood at Lumber and Brown
streets on the west bank of the Chicago
river , near the' Twenty-second street lumber
Hatrlct. It was used as n grain warehouse
: > y V. D. Armour and had a capacity of
2,600,000 bushels. The cupola of the eleva
tor fell In within an hour after the flames
wcro discovered and after that the fire de
partment rapidly lost control. Under the
influence of a strong wind the flames be
gan to spread In every direction and seized
on the huge piles of lumber In half a dozen
lumber yards within a few squares of the
elevator. The Lord & Uushncll Lumber
company was the first concern whose prop
erty was set flro to from the elevator. The
lumber yard of D. S. Tate & Co. was next
destioycd and forty freight cars on the side
tracks were consumed with their contents
of finished lumber. The yard of Arthur
Gourley & Co. caught fire , but quick work
on the part of the firemen headed off the
flames In this direction. Francis Beldler &
Co.'s yards , adjoining the .Gourley properly ,
caught next and befoie the fire department
steamers on the river could reach the Beld
ler plant It was entirely destroyed.
The fire was n most exciting one. Rail
road employes , with a bravery approaching
recklessness , took switch engines in on the
side tracks leading betv.een the blazing
umber plies , and coupling to standing
5 eight cars , dragged them , blazing , from
: he heart of the conflagration. The flam
ing trains , as soon as they were outsldo of
the lumber yards , were deluged by fire en
gines stationed for that purpose. This
work was prosecuted by the railroad men
until the heat from the lumber piles caused
the rails to curl , pulling the spikes from
the ties and bending the tracks.
The gravest apprehensions as tbo fire
spread were entertained for the great gas
tanks of the People's Gas , Light and Coke
company. The firemen realized that these
were very dangerous and that n single spark
might cause an explosion , frightful in Its
consequences. A strong patrol of firemen ,
with two engines and a' quantity of other
apparatus , was detaHctl , for duty In the
vicinity of the gas resorvolra.
At 1:45 : p. m. the fin ; was still burning In
the lumber yards , but the losses were con
fined to the yards named , and the fire de
partment officials belli'ved they had the
flames under control , a I There was nn ex
plosion of grain dust In elevator D , be
longing to the Chicago , Burlington &
Qulncy railway , \yhl h | wrecked the Interior
before the flames had made much progrcsa.
The grain handlers at 'work In the elevators
were compelled to islidp down the chutes
used for loading gra.iu.t4nto the cars and
all ot-them escaped uninjured.
Elevator D , which , was used by P. D %
Armour as a storehouse , contained 1,115,009
bushels of grain as follows : 100,000 bushels
ot wheat , 625,000 bushels of corn , 200,000
bushels of oats , 150,000 bushels of flax and
40,000 bushels of rye. .Armour's loss on the
grain will foot up $ SOO,000 ; fully Insured.
The elevator was valued at $285,000 , and
was also fully Insured.
At 2 p. m. , although the fire was said to
bo practically under control , there were
four acres of lumber piles still burning.
Dennis S weenie , the veteran chief of the
flro department , was seriously Injured. His
face was severely burned , his beard being
completely singed oil.
William Matheison , engineer of the eleva
tor , and his fireman , Denny O'Connor , are
missing. i
In the river slips tapping the lumber yard
district there were many vessels which were
In Imminent danger. The vessels were all
small craft , however , and the Incipient fires
which from time to time wore started In the
rigging flamed up for a moment , only to be
otlnpiiishtd by streams from the fire ap
paratus on board or from the flro boats. A
small army of tugs was hurried to the scene
and wiis kept busy towing the vessels to
pl.iros of safety. It seemed certain at 2:30 :
o'clock t.iat the firemen had the conflagra
tion under control and that there would bo
no further spread ot the flames.
The losses are : Armour elevator D ,
owned by the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy
railroad , S1SO.OOO ; insurance for $150,000 ;
Armouv & Co. , 657,000 bushels of corn , $243-

"I put this hot water connection in here
and I'm going to take it away with me , "
declared Bobbs the other day , when they
were In the midst of moving. "These attach
ments cost money , and they fit the stove.
I'm not giving theme any landlord. "
"How will you get them off without floodIng -

"That's easy. If )6u'wero more observing

"Hadn't you better have , a plumber , dear ? "
"I should say notv jxpcnses arc heavy
enough as It Is. I have , all the tools hero
and when the tank is rapty I can soon re
move the piping. You' ' o ahead with yonr
work and I'll look after" this matter. "
. Bobbs began his fa'att'at about 2 p. m. ,
relates the Detroit Free'Press. At C ho was
mopping hit. brow and saying things that
are tabooed in good society. He wanted to
bet a million that the tank held 1,000 gallons
lens , for ho had been working faithfully and
the water ran as strong as over. At mid
night ho felt like a total wreck , and all su
perfluous clothing oft and waa swearing like
a pirate , though , as a rule , bo abominates
profanity. When ha went to the telephone
ho worked it as though It was a corn shelter ,
and he yelled at the top of his lungs at the
plumber , whom ho had routed out of bed.
The plumber came , and after laughing for
five minutes at Bobbs for trying to drain
Lake St. Clalr , he went to the top ot the
tank ; cut oft the water supply and bad the
tank empty in ten mlntuea. Then Bobba
bribed the plumber.

FORMATION OF GLACIERS.
Complicated Morrmrndi and Trrmvn-
d n * force Kxrrtcil.
Glaciers arc rivers of Ice and like other
rivers , some ot them arc small and some
very large , writes Prof. El I aha Gray In the
Times-Herald , They flow down the gorges
from high mountains , whose peaks arc al
ways covered with a blanket of eternal
snow. Summer and winter the snow la
precipitated upon these mountains , and
from time to time the heat from the sun's
rays tend to soften the snow when by Its
great weight It packa more closely together
until It Is in many cases formed Into solid
Ice cakes. If we take a quantity of snow
or a quantity ot granulated Ice and put It
under a sufficient pressure wo can produce
clear solid Ice , and It Is by this process
that Ice Is formed out of the snow and hall
that falls continually upon the tops of theac
glacial mountains. We huvo seen In a
former chapter that Ice possesses certain
vl.icnous or seml-fluldlc properties and that
It will yield to pressure , but If we put It
under tenslonal strain It snaps llko glass
or any other bridle substance. As the
snows upon these mountains pile up higher
and higher the pressure becomes greater
and greater until It reaches n point where
It begins to move gradually down the moun
tain side , following the gulches and de
files that furnish a path of least resistance
to Its flow. At the sides and bottom where
It Is in contact with the earth the move
ment is slower than It Is nt the the sur co
and In the middle of the Ice stream. If
here wcro no curves In the ravine or gulch
thiough which It flows the point of greatest
movement would be confined to the middle
of Its width.
But In flowing through n winding gulch
the most rapid flow follows the lined of
greatest procure , and this line Is deflected
from side to side , so that the line of great
est flow Is more winding than Is the bottom
of the volley through which It flows. If
.ho bottom and sides of the valley were
straight the surface of the Ice \\ould be
comparatively even , I say comparatively , as
compared with a smooth surface It would
very rough ; wheat I mean to say , Is ,
Lhere would be no great crevasses or openIngs -
Ings In the Ice , which sometimes ore very
large and extend to a great depth. If In
its downward flow the bottom of tbe ravlno
suddenly becomes steeper the top of the Ice
ts put under a tenslonal strain which causes
It to break , which forms the crevasses be
fore mentioned. These points might be
termed the rlflles In the Ice river.
If at the bottom of the descent the valley
curves upward or preserves the straight line
for a considerable distance , these crevasses
will close at the top and perhaps open at the
bottom and the blocks or bowlders of tco will
freeze together to such an extent that the
water caused by the melting Ice will flow on
top until It comes to another crevasse , where
It runs through to the bottom or underflow ,
which Is always an attendant ot a glacier.
The glacier continues Its flow down the
mountain side until in some cases it reaches
quite to the valley below and in others It
stops short as the action of the sun Is so
gieat that it melts entirely away at this
point as fast as It moves down. In the
winter time , however , the glalcer may flow
far dawn Into ( he valley and will accumulate
greatly In bulk owing to the fact that the
Ice forms from the precipitation of snow
faster than It melts away underneath. If It
wore not for the fact that In summer the
glaciers molt faster than they form the whole
valley would In time become n great river of
ice. It Is the case In Switzerland that some
years the accumulation is greater from
snowfall than diminution is from melting.
It this condition should continue It wouM
become a serious matter.
In the downward flow of a glacier there Is
an exhibition of wonderful power ; great
bowlders are torn from their beds and cither
ground to powder or carried down to the end
of the glacier , to be dropped with the other
debris that has been carried there by the
same force , forming an accumulation that
geologists call the moraine. Of these
moraines we will speak more fully in a
future chapter.
It was the privilege of the writer some
years since to visit the great glaciers of
Switzerland and to some extent study their
action. In one of our chapters on rivers
the fact was mentioned that some ot them
have their origin chiefly in melting glaciers.
They start as Ice rivers and end In rivers of
water. The effect during the great Ice age
of some of these glacial rivers , which are
now extinct * Hie very remarkable ; we will
have occasion to refer to them when we
como to treat of the glacial period.
There is a glacial river flowing which Is
fed largely by the great Rhone glacier In
Switzerland. The water from this river Is
almost as white as milk , which Is occasioned
by the grinding action of the great Ice blocks
on the rock as It flows down , the sides of the
mountain. These glacial rivers are much
higher in summer , of course , thin In winter ,
come ot them having not only an annual
fluctuation , but a diurnal one. The former Is
caused by the cold ot winter , and the latter
because It freezes to some extent nt night
anil checks the flow of water. The differ
ence between day and night In these high
altitudes Is very marked. While It Is ex
tremely hot In the sun , it Is cool the moment
we step In the ahadc.
I remember walking across one of the
glaciers In the Alps , called the Mer de Glace ,
one clear clay In summer , when I suffered so
much from the heat , although standing upon
a tea of Ice , that It was necessary to carry
an umbrella. In fact , there was a case ol
sunstroke during my stay that occurred
upon thia same glacier. This Intense heat
during the day melts the surface of the
Ice , which forms streams that run along on
the top of a glacier until it comes to a
crevasse or riffle In the Ice river , where It
plunges down and becomes a part of the
glacial stream that is flowing underneath
the Ice.
The speed at which these Ice streams
flow vary greatly with the size of the glacier
as to width and depth and the steepness ol
the grade and many other conditions. In Its
movement it is constantly bending and
freezing and being torn asunder by ten
slonal strain , yielding and liquifying at
other points by pressure , only to freeze again
when that pressure Is removed. This , taken
In connection with the friction of the great
Ice boulders , produces a movement that Is
exceedingly complicated in its actions am !
Interactions.
The glaciers of Switzerland are mere pig
mies when compared with some of those. In
British Columbia and Alaska , to which wo
will allude In a future chapter.
