winslow Fire.

About half past four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon a fire broke out in Chinese wash house at Winslow, which, for time, threatened the de- struction of the entire town. A high wind was raging and the flames rap. idly communicated to Tom Coalter's restaurant, the Dclmonico restaurant and a place du joie ali of which were in frame row.
 Winslow is provided with no apar- atus for extinguIshing fires and the efforts of the bucket brigade proved futile to stay tEe progress of the flames. In half an hour the four buildings mentioned were entirely consumed with most of their con. tents and .he entire town was only saved from destruction by the high stone wall recently built by Dr. Dem crest for an addition to his hotel, which proved sufficient barrier to prevent ,he spread of the flames to the buildings on the western end of the town. The total loss is estimated at $500 with no insurance, and al though ihe burned buildings were oi little value, the loss falls heavily upon occupants, who were men of small means.

MasoL's Report.

Our repor,rr called upon D. NJ.

 MT. Riordan said substantially that he didn't think there wa, any. thing of interest to say, that the dis, patches indicated Mason n4d sud or done something. Wha, that something was did not seem 80 cleaT. The charges sounded serious. Mir. Riordan said, but he wouin't pay any 4ttentiun to them, fl they were no; vile calumny again.t some of the sincerest and best friends he ever had. For that reason, aud for that reason alone they hurt. No one ~h" knew Ed. E. Aver would ever believe he was wiltu!Iy guilty Of single unlawful act As for himself. NIT. Riordan said he didn't care to g" into any controversy with an fires ponsiblc special agent. His acts here were we'll known.
 Mir. RiorIan said he had been asked repeatedly for statements by Agents of the Government and hasi furnished them, and they were the truth. He desired and hid frequent ly asked for a full and impartial in vestlgation of all acts performed by him or under his authority. He desired this now and if it was made he felt no fears of the outcome.
 The assertion had been frequently made that the two companies with winch he had been connected were acting in violation of law. If thi, were true it was an easy matter te prove 1t. fit were false, in simple justice to the companies the inquiry should be thorough, searching and complete, all facts elicite't and then told as they are. No stain of wrong doing could remain if this was done

\ STRIKE AVERTED.
Proposed reduction of wages on the At. lanttc & Pacific raiirosd promptly met by the employees and .
 cOnproniso effected,

From the day the first train was run over the track of the A. & P. R. R. Engineers conductors and brakemen have been paid on the basis of mileage and their compen- sation depended entirely upon the number of miles run or the amount !of work done during the month. Superintendent Gaddis took charge of the road few days ago and to him the liberal salaries earned by extra work and long hours by the employees. seemed exorbitant as , compared with the starvation wages to which he had been accustomed on the Georgia railroad from which he came, and last Wednesday the brakemen were notified that Tn future theIr compensation would be s45, per month. Everybody knows that no workingman can live on tha, amount of monthly compensation aud It Is not surprising that the order created a sensation, ln railIoad circles.
 A meeting of railroad employees was held at Wlnslnw on Thursday and It was resolved that unless the 1 new superintendent receded from his position within 24 hours all train men, including conductors and brakemcn would refuse to take out tralns. A committee was appointed 10 Visit Albuquerque and confer with the Superintendent and alter repre- senung the position of the men to Mir. GAddis that official decided to
 visit Wlnslow and investigate for | himself. This he dld with the re- suit that the brakemen will continue to work on the old mileage basis and the additional concessions are made that freight brakemen will be allowed loo mics for running over the sd and 4Ih divisions which gre respcct- iveIy Dul o8 and 92 miles long, and that when deadheading back to the division station, men will be allowed hiutl tune and that brAketncn on work trains w!!l be allowed DO niilcs a, a days work.
