CHICAGO, December I5-It is stated here
that Vanderbilt mas become the leading
spirit in the scheme recently considered at
the joint session of the directors of the
PiItsburg and Like Elie railroad and the
Pittsburg, Yougbiogheny and McKeesport
road to carry oui the proposition of the d.
Teciors of the Pnilsdelphia and Reading
road, and construct a new South Pennsylva-
MIA line. Twenty million dollars in bonds
will be provided for by III, Vanderbilt in
terests, and the proposed rosd will be paral-
lei to the Pennsy lvsnia line from P.ttsburg
10 Harrisburg, and mske an additional
through line from New York 10 Chicago.
This is an old idea worked out on new plans.

The ALLEGED Settlement of the Railway
asnnGrHAf~fAH

CHICAGO, December 15.-President r. Z.
Cable, of the Rock Island railroad, is author
ity for the follow ng: "The dispatches from
New York of The 18th stated that in the
settlement of the Northwest rd railroad war
the percentages had been agreed on on the
basis of the r OK Islands Albert Lea route,
accepting 2; per cent. Of the Minneapolis
and IA per cent. of the 81. Paul business
This ia incorrect. The arrangement is that
rates be maintained and that as to passenger
business each road may get what il can, ont
the proposition OF the other roads to abolish
commissions was positively rel .cted by the
Rock Island, aud the question OF percentages
was abandoned in thu fiual settlement"

FIRE RECORD.
Al Innense Sugar Refinery Destroyed
1000 Hands Out Of Employment.

New YORK, Jan. 8.
Fire vas discovered this afternoon in the
engine room of the immense sugar refinery
of Havemeyer & Elder, situated on First
street and South Third and Fourth streets,
Williamsburg. The firemen we're unable to
control the flames and the bnilding, which
covered the entire block, was totally con-
sumed. The loss is estimated at one million.
Mr.. Havemeyer says the loss on the build
ing and machinery is 81 100000 There was
but little stock in the place. The insurance
will probably amount to 60 per cent Of the
loss. 1t is divided in small risks in COM
panies all over the United States. Foreign
insurance companies will suffer most. The
fire burned up to midnight. One thousand
hands will be thrown out of employment.
The fire was discovered in the ware room
on the first floor. Three fire alarms were
sent out in rapid succession and was respond
ed to by Is fire engines, but the flames rushed
through the entire building at q rapid rate
and all hope of saving the place had van
ished. The building which was seven stor-
les in height and covered a surface and COW
cred surface of 200 by $50 feet, became one
mass of bright, red flames, which lit up the
neighborhoOd and river for q considerable
distancet and presented grand sight from
East New York city. When the walls began
to fall, carrying down immense copper pans,
weighing from Is to 20 tons each, crash after
crash came in rapid succession and shook the
ground like the repeated shocks of an earth
quake. One the opposite side Of First street
was char house, also covering block and
ten stories in height The two buildings
were connected by brigds on the top and
BY tunnels underneath the street.
