j. F. Thompson's lumber mill and 5,OOO,-
feet of lumber was burned this afternoon
Loss 60,0O0. BY the time the fire on the
dock had been got under control. fire bsoke
out on the immense docks of the AusabIe
Lumber Company, quarter of mile dis
tant.
On these docks are about 1900 feet of
lumber, and at o'clock, there was apparent-
ly no chance to save any of the lumber or
mill. The mill is valued at 100000. But
short distance across the bayou are the
docks of j. E. Potts Lumber Company. The
chances are against saving any of this.
The river is lined with lumber from the
mouth to the main portion of the sable and
there are grave apprehensions as to the safety
of the village.
To add to the trouble, FIRE broke out in
tenement house in the center ot the village.
At the same time fire was discovered at the
docks and kept the fire company employed
an hour.
Two engines from Alpena are on their way
and one fire tug and two more engines from
Bay City will start soon. It is the largest
fire that ever occurred in Michigan.
The fires on the docks of the Ausable Lum-
Der Co, and Thompson Co., were partially
under control ut III o'clock The wind had

danger to j. E. Potts & Cos docks.
1t is thought the flames can be controlled
until help arrives from Alpina. Bay City
has refused to furnish help.
About 1900, 900 feet of lumber was thrown
into the river from Ausable Cos docks, and
as it passed the burning piles, it caught fire
and was carried out into the lake, which is
now covered with spots of flames.
So far, about 1000, 900 feet of lumber was
burned on the Ausable Cos docks. So far
as is known there was no insurance on the
lumber destroyed.

A Petition of Stockholders Protesting
Against the Payment of Dividends.

New YORK, May II.
In reply to q circular letter to which sig
natures were invited, requesting the resump-
tion of the payment of dividends on Union
Pacific stock, the income bondholders of the
Kansas Pacific sent the letter to the Union
Pacific board yesterday, protesting against
any payment of the floating debt on divi-
dends until the overdue interest on income
bonds should have been paid. The bond
holders refer to their long waiting, to the
violation of their trusts by Russell Sage and
Jay Gould as the trustees of the genetal
mortgage bonds, and to the continued with
drawal of securities from the trust. The
petition concludes in these words: 1--WE
doubt not your board will concede the injus-
tice which has been done US in every direc-
tion, and will not permit itself to be pre-
vailed upon by designing parties seek

The strike of the Denver 4 Rio Grande
Railroad Employees.

DENVER, Col, May 16.
Several Denver & Rio Grande railroad
strikers, charged with contempt of court in
intimidatng and interfering with the employ
es of the road, it being in the hands of the
United States Court, were yesterday tried be-
fore the United States Circuit Court. Judge
Brewer held that request TO quit work even
if vouched in peaceful and polite language, if
backed BY formidable crowd of excited and
armed men, constitutes a threat. No act of
violence have been charged against the strik-
ers. All were found guilty and sentenced to
imprisonment for terms ranging from four
months down. The strike is practically at
an end, having proved complete failure.
