The alarm of fire from box 15, about 8:30 o'clock last evening, was occasioned by the burning of some kindling wood that caught fire in the shops Of the Mansfield Frog Com pany at 356 Congress avenue.

Black IlnI- Extension.

At Cheyenne to-day the stockholders
in the Wyoming and Black Hills extern
sion OF the Colorado Central, 10 which
Laramie county, Wyoming, last yea
voted si00, 600 in bonds, will hold their
annual meeting. The company holds n
valuable franchise, and has expended a
large amount of money in preliminary
surveys,s made partly for the purpose
OF developing the superior economy of
using Cheyenne las compared with Sid
neyl for the starting point of the Black
Hills line.-DGlccr Nors Of yesterday.
The above is in error rs to the extern
sion feature, and rs TO the time of meet
ing. The projected road from Chey-
enne northward will not be an extern
sion of the Colorado Central road, but
a branch OF the Union Pacific main
line. According to the articles of in
corporation of tho Wyoming, Montana
" Pacific road, the elections arc to be
held on tho first Tuesday in january,
when seven trustees are to be elected.
At least ten days notice of said election
is required by cur laws. And rs no no.
tlcc has yet been published, it seems
probable that no election will be held
on next Tuesday week-thc time fixed
upon by the company. However, our
laws also say that in case no election is
held on the day appointed. it shall be
lawful to hold the election ut any time
thereafter, the trustees always holding
over until their Successors have been
elected and qualified.

shots awakened u congenial spirit that

promptly responded, and fo- n time the
firing was pretty brisk. II seems, how
ever, that no II was injured ON either
side, although many Of the passengers
were badly frightened. Occurrences of
this kind ought to be carefully guarded
against by authorities OF the railroad
company.

RAILROAD
EIsstISR 81 Directors " ILs CSIsrHas
GsaIFaI nAIIssaa Gs.

According 70 official notice published
in the LDADER for the past thirty days,
the stockholders Of the Colombo Cen
tTal railroad company held their Ieg9-
Lar annual meeting in this city for the
election Of trustees yesterday.
There isn't much form in this an
nual meeting. The trustees decided
upon before hand are always elected
without opposition, as the majority Of
the stock is held in bulk and is voted
by proxy. And there are not usually
very many stockholders present. At
yesterdays meeting there were: Hon.
w. A. ii. Loyeland, C. C. Welch, L.
L. Berthoud, A. A. Egbert, and J. w.
Gannett. But it must be borne in
mind that there are only eight or nine
miles Of the Colorado Central road ~
in Wyoming, the track running from
Hazard station on the U. T.. road to the
Colorado line.
However. Il meeting and an election
was held. As a coy and convenient
place was wanted, MI. Gannett's spe-
cial ear was utilized. The following
named gentlemen were elected as trus-
tees; w. A. ii. Loyeland, q. q. WEIGH,
i. l.. Berthond, A. A. Egbert. Sidney
Dillon, Jay Gould, Fred. l.. Ames, s..
ii. II. Clark, and J. w. Gannett.
There being a quorum Of the board
Of trustees present. the following ex-
ecutiye officers were elected:
Fredericksburg Dillon.
Secretary and treasurer-H. MeFar-
Land.
Executive committee - Fred. l..
Ames, Jay Gould, Sidney Dillon, 5. III.
ii. Clark aud W. a. ii. Loveland.
There WAS nothing said or done in the
meeting regarding the Black Hills ex-
tension of the u. +. road, although the
Denver Ners stated that there would
he.
We may say that on Wednesday the
stockholders of the Colorado Central
road met in Golden and elected the fol-
lowing board OF directors: ". A. III.
Loveland, q. c. WEIGH. L. L. Berth
oud, \. y. Esbcrt, Ivers Phillips, Sid
ney Dillon, Jay Gould, Russell Sage,
Fred. l.. Amcs, Elisha Atkins, L. Cor
don Dexter.
Tho fact that the Colorado Central is
Incorporated under the laws of both
Colorado and Wyoming explains why
meetings are held in Golden and Chey-
enne. and the difference In the board
Of directors and OF trustees. But then
IL Is all under the matchless u. l.. man.
agemunt.
There las been some change made in
the board and officers, but that signi-
fles nothing more than "a faithful adhe-
n TO that system of Capitalization
that makes the Union Pacific manage
ment economical and effective.
Several small branch roads of the
Colorado Central in Colorado had meet
ings on Wednesday and also elected
their boards, many of the directors be-
ing In the Central board.

THE PuIL-suEnIDAN
The Fire Steamer NJ Gallant ~ Phil
OF Winchester.

Our people were surprised last even
Ing by the sudden appearance in the
streets Of the "Thil. Sheridan steamer
from Camp Carlin. The fires were
burning under the boiler and the horses
were driven ut a rapid speed. 1t was
then learned for the first time In tho
business portion of the city that
a fire was raging south OF the railroad
track. Our home boys turned out ut
once, and all attended the fire, as re-
ported in another column. IL seems
that the fire was observed from Camp
Carlin, which is considerably higher
than the city, and Major Lord ut once
gave the order for tho '.Phil. Sheridan"
to be taken to the city, aud the boys re-
sponded heartily.
Our property holders will properly
appreciate the great.valuc of the assis-
lance that will be given us in case of a
FIRE, by the "I'hil. Sheridan" 1t Is an
excellent FIRE engine and is capable of
immense work. We are presuming, Of
course, that the action of last evening
is the forerunner of other visits to fires
in the city. Major Lord seems disposed
to return the favors extended to Camp
Carlin in the past, when the Durant
steamer did noble service there.
1t would seem TO DO a good idea for
the city TO extend n line of telegraph to
Camp Carlin, so that fair warning can
be given of fires. II may not always
happen that the fire will be first discov-
cred from the camp.

a Pleasant AFFAIR.

On Wednesday night of this week tho
Rev. W. IL. Shaeffner and wife were
most wonderfully and agreeably sur
prised by the appearance of some forty
or fifty Of their friends ut the N. Z.
parsonage, who arrived on a mission
which they termed "a pound surprise
party." The leading feature of the &C.
casion was that each visitor brought ut
least apound Of something useful. Most
OF them, however, brought several
pounds Of different kinds of commodi-
ties, consisting Of turkey, chicken. tea,
coffee. butter, eggs, ham, etc., etc. A
general god time vas the result aud Mt
n late hour the guests departed, feeling
happy, and carrying with them the
best wishes Of Mr.. and Mrs. Shaeffner.
