:: f.MAIIA SUNDAY BKK: AUCL'JSI .' 1. Council Bluffs ASPHALT MAKES BIG BLAZE Two Tons of Fluid on Fire in Heiirt of the City. USED FOB FILLER IN PAVEMENT KrMIr Ablate While Workmen Are I'sla It and Firemen Have tllf flealt Time Cheeking; Flames Man Fret Hlgk. One of the moat spectaculsr fire that has occurred In Council Bluff for many day kii witnessed by thousands of people at 4 o'clock yesterday at the corner of South Main street and Broadway, the busi ness canter of the city. Two tons of melted asphalt poured from the big kettle In which the pioneer compound la melted for use ai a filler for the Uroadway pave ment. It atreamed out on the pavement and burst Into flames, which were almost hidden by the enormous olume of dense black smoke that was liberated. The big kettle was located a few feet from the curbing directly in front of the A. A. Clark building. It requires ten hours to melt the asphalt and to keep ahead of the men using the filler the tank was being pushed to ! extreme capacity and contained fifteen barrels of the pitch heated to a temperature of nearly (00 de grees. The fire beneath it was as hot as could ba made In the furnace, and when one of the workmen turned the faucet in the two-Inch pipe to fill one of the kettles used in carrying it away a tongue of flames shot from the furnace and ignited the gag that was being liberated In the heated compound. He dropped his pall on the pavement and the contents Instantly caught fire as it spread over the surface of the bricks. The man in charge struggled bravely to close the faucet, but his wrench slipped off. In- another instant the two Inch stream that was pouring from the tank had made a big pool, which Instantly flashed Into flame. The man, who was colored, rushed Into the burning pool sev eral times and attempted to apply the long wrench and shut off the stream, and was painfully burned. He persisted in his at tempts until dragged away from danger by his fellow workmen and was taken away before his name could be ascertained. Department Called Oat The whole fire department waa called out, and all of the chemical apparatus In the city waa turned upon the lake of bias ing pitch, which was being constantly fed by the big stream of liquid pouring from the tank. The firemen dared not turn on the water for fear of floating the burning tar over a wider area. Three or four chemical streams were kept playing upon It In the effort to keep down the flames which were leaping almost to the top of the three-story Clark building. The chemi cal fluid had but little effect, and a score or more of men began to throw sand Into the flaming lake. After nearly half an hour they were successful, and the heat died down sufficiently to permit the biasing vat to be pulled away and the fiery stream shut off, not, -however, until all of the pitch had run out. During the greatest period of heat a terrific explosion tors off the top of the tank and the flames then enveloped the whole apparatus. The heat broke the big glass windows In the Clark building and cracked a number on the second floor. A seventy-foot tele phone pole on the corner was blading from the curb almost to Its top' and was seri ously damaged. The telephone cables and electric- light wires Immsdiatsly above the fire Were damaged, and fronts of the First National bank and the Clark building ware blacked by the oily smoke. The damage will amount to several hundred dollars. The great pillar of smoke attraoted at tention all over town and thousands of people hurried to ths sosno.

A base ball Pullman attached to a fast train is considered "good luck." Major league teams travel thousands of miles every season, and though the risk is great there Is seldom a fatal accident. Players have had miraculous escapes from death In wrecks. The Pt. Louis Cardinals had the proverbial luck when they escaped Injury In the wreck at Bridgeport early one morn ing. They occupied the two rear sleepers which were derailed, ut which were the only two coaches that did not plunge to the street below. According to newspaper correspondents with the St. Louis team it was "base ball luck" that saved the Cardinals from Injury or death. Their two Pullmans were In ths middle of the train leaving Philadelphia, but after the train was ferried around Man hattan Island the base ball cars were at tached to the rear of the regular sleepers!

The engine remained upright, but the baggage car was crushed like an eggshell and both sleepers were hurled Into a ditch. The wreckage was an awe-lneplring sight, yet not one man of the thirty-six passengers waa seriously Injured. Players of both teams were asleep In their berths, and when the cars bumped along on the ties and finally turned half way over there was great confusion. Play ers on one side of the car dropped out of their berths Into berths o nthe opposite side. Awakening suddenly In such confu slun they began to fight each other, bu soon realised what had happened.
