men employed on the b. and o. extension.
At am early hour Monday morning the build
ing was discovered 10 be on fire, and burned
so rapidly that Mr.. O'Keefe and his family
and about 40 boarders were onl y aroused from
their sumbers i'm time to escape with their
lives, leaving everything behind. The build
ing and lis entire contents were quickly de-
stroyed. In addition to the building, which
he recently purchased, Mr.. O'Keefe loses his

visions and $500 in greenbacks, which were

The Omcers Of the Company Have Con-
ference with q. M. Pullman.
A meeting of the officers OF the Central
Transportation company was held at noon
Tuesday In Philadelphia, to consider the con-
dition of the company's affairs and consult
as to what should be done concerning the de-
mands OF the Pullman Parlor Car COM
pany. Those present were President John
s. stevens, Secretary Benjamin p. Obdyke,
Expert Weckerly and John q. Bullitt. The
Pullman interest was represented by George
M. Pullman, president of the Parlor Car
company, and his legal adviser, General
Horace Porter.
Mr. Pullman stated again that the profits
of his company did not now warrant the pay
ment of S264, 900 year to the Central com
pany for the control of cars In the East, as per
contract. He therefore asked that the sum
be reduced to $4,000. The Central people
had good many questions to ask as to why
such sweeping reduction should be made,
and most of the time of the meeting was con-
| sumed with these queries and Mr.. Pullman's
| replies. 1t appears that the officers Of the
Transportation company are not very iamil'
lar with all Of the details OF the business, as
it has been managed by the Pullman com.
| pany ever since 1870, when the latter leased
| all of its rolling stock and franchises fOi
ninety-nine years. A clause In the contrac,
| then made provides that whenever the re-
| ceipts of the concern shall fail to be sufficient
L
tracing parties should come together, and
by mutual agreement, alter the arrangement
The discovery of )ttringer's dishonesty ha'
rather precipitated this movement on MIR
Pullman's part, and he desires now to taxi
| advantage Of the situation, so as to eithe
have the annual payment reduced TO s66,OO
or to obtain full control Of the Central Trans
| portaton company.
Before any definite arrangement looking
| to either of these results can be made, 1t !
| necessary that the Central people kDoy
| exactly how the business has been conducted
Mr.. Pullman was questioned yesterday as I
| the condition of the cars, their whereahout
| and as to what has caused the falling of Il
the profits. He produced books and paper
to answer all of these questions. As resul
Of the meeting II was decided to draw up
