FIERCE FIRE
ON POLK ST.
Explosion cf Celluloid Film
Causes Complete Destruc-
tion of Dreamland Rink
(From Wednesday's Dally.)
The explosion of H rro of eel-
lullod film in a moving picture iiu-
chlnowhi!e the picture show was In
progress last night ;it Dro.inihnd
rink on Polk street caused H furious
flro which for a linn- endingered
the lives of a nuinhcr of people and
which In a few minutes destroyed
the rink
The accident occurred about S:4.i
r.horily ufter the op-:iing of Iho
evening performance. There were a
hundred or more spectators In the
rink at tho lime and the first In-
tiniition of trouble WHS a break In
tho plcittre that was Iw-lug thrown
oni the screen. The spectators waited
for the operator to adjust the diffi-
culty n ml then the operator of the
rsa from which the pictures are
I brow n carrying reel of the blaz-
ing celluloid. He throw the reel out
the door aud aFsured the speotitors
that the flro could be easily extin-
guished. There at comparatively slight ex-
i.i'enient because I ho remaining blare
which hid cRiisht in the other films
from the first fire waa inside th
elevated race where the machine was
locaied.
People began leaving the. building
and In a few1 moments the asslstnnts
had to give up the fight on the Inside
of the little room nd came down.
This room was covered with asbestos
paper and Iho only opening from
which the fire could escape nl first
was tho hole through which tho pic
tures were thrown. Through this a
tongue of flame shol mil hiii caught
the shinslo roof. There was no roil-
ing In the bnlldi'ig and once In the
roof the blaze swept across It like
a sheet of paper.
In the meantime the alarm had
been given and the spoliators had
.escaped in safety. The two wagons
of the department with most of the
fire boys on hoard made a. magnlfi
cent run to the scene and sot three
strings of hose o the fire for Im
mediate action.
But the fire had traveled with ap
palling ppeed and the rink was ial
ready a roaring mass of flame which
made the destruction of the pike
Stroud livery stable on the north
and of the residences on the east
seem almost certain. Without a
moment's hesitation the men with the
hose went into the furnace bptween
the rink and the livery stable and
steadily fought down the flames.
There was good pressure In the
mains and the well directed streams
got control of tho fire so a to pro-
tect the surrounding buildings. The
Osgood & Gordon marble works
which occupied the two small frame
houses besidn the rink wore badly
damaged but. were saved from com-
plete destruction.
Fortunate Fscnpe From Rig Disaster.
A short lime previous to tho fire
a terrific gale whs blowing from the
southwest and had the fire started
at that time it would havo made
probable a dlsnster the extent of
which can hardly bo reckoned. At
tho time 'It occurred there was very
lltlln wind and as a fortun-ale cir-
cumstance the members of the flro
companies were nearly hII a the sta-
tion so tho department got Into ac-
tion with a full turn out of the men.
Although there were several nar-
row escapes from Injury on the part
of tho rink people and their asslsl-
antis all the spectators escaped safe-
ly. The Intensely combust ihlo nat-
ure of tho collullod films was very
deceptive nt first and tho fire seem
ed of mulh loss conequenre than It
really wh.
The properly was owned by the
Dreamland Amusement company of
which Ous Hollander Is manager and
H. Joe Isaacs a large stockholder.
The loss on the .building skateg
piano and equipment will reach near
ly $4000 and the amount of Insur
ance Is small. The damago to th
Osgood & Gordon Co. will reach scv
cral hUDdred dollara.

FIRST SPIKE
IS DRIVEN
Workmen
Begin Construction
of First Street Railway
(Trom Wednesday's Dally.)
Secretary Shlreman's prediction
published some time ago thjt cars on
the Amarlllo afreet railway might
be running by the first or Fourth of
July Is made probable of fulfillment
by the showing made by tho construc-
tion gangs today. This morning J.
E. Rlchey with a steel gang and J.
M. Pierre In charge of the gradera
began actual construction on th
lines and this afternoon two squares
on Polk street at least. bear very
tangible evidence of tho first rail-
way for the Panhandle.'
Unofficially J. E. Rlchey and Jen
nings of the steel g&ng drove the first
spike. This however was on the
temporary switch which hnn ben
put in on Plk street to allow the
running of cars from the material
yards out to the work on the lines.
Officially the first spike wrlll ha
driven at 4 o'clock by Mayor Miller
assisted by a number of volunteers
who wish to take a hand in this part
of tho starting of th! enterprise.
The graders will puah tha work
on Polk street to the Polk street
school building which Is es tar as
tho Ilncrt On this' street will go for
tho present. Third street will next
be equipped with track and the other
lines will bo reached In order. J.
E. Rlchey of tha stael gang utiarted
this morning with sixteen men and
lntcndn to work thirty or thirty-five
The graders will employ a gang largo"
enough to keep ahend of tho track
layers.
The excavation on the streets will
ho deep enough to allow tho burying
of tho tics so that the surface of the
street will be flush with the top of
tho rails. This means an excava-
tion of about fourteen Inches. Tho
rails used are sixty pound steel and
are fresh from the mills of the Car
negie company In Pennsylvania.
