duced to ashes. The late hour found the in
habitants all abed, and the scene following the
discovery Of the fire was indescribable. Women
and children, who only had time to escape in
their night clothes and for whom no shelter
\ could he found, presented a pitiable sight.
Lima, nine miles west, was called on for assist
ance, and portion of the fire department inn
mediately responded by special train on the
Lake Erie and Western Railroad. While they
arrived in time TO do effective work, the scarcity
of water precluded any possibility of saving

TICKET COMMISSIONS.
Western Railroads Appear Before the Inter-
State Commission nt Washington
The Pennsylvania Lines Pay
No Commissions of

ANY hln0s
WAsHIN GToN, May 7.-Western Rail-
way men chatted and gossiped animatedIy
this morning in the rooms of the Inter
State Commerce Commission while await
ing the opening of the investigation into
the matter of the payment of commissions
upon the sale of passenger tickets. Chair
man Cooley opened the meeting with few
remarks upon the importance of the inves-
tigation and then called upon the railroads
in alphabetical order to state what, if any,
commissions they paid.
Mr.. j. f. Hsnnigan, general passenger
agent of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and
Northern Railroad Company, the first wit
ness called, filed a written statement setting
forth the amount of commissions paid bv his
company, and stating that they paid reason
able commissions to authorized ticket
agents, but to no others. The Chicago and
Alton and the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad Companies filed written
statements with the secretary, giving the in
formation called for.
Mr.. E. P. Wilson, General Passenger
Agent of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad Company, said his road paid COM
missions on competitive passenger business.
The rate paid was restricted by the terms of
the agreement of the Western Passenger
Agents Association. The agreement had
been faithfully observed by the Chicago and
Northwestern Company. Prior to the max
ing Of this agreement commissions as high
as 80 or 60 per cent, he said, had been paid.
He was questioned concerning the
sale of tickets by scalpers. Their
source of revenue, he said, was
ostensibly and originally the purchase and
sale of portions of unused tickets. He had
no doubt there were other sources of revenue,
among which was the sale of tickets sent
them by railroad companies hard pressed
for business. He did not think this was a
custom with the companies. 1t was done in
times of disturbances.
Mr.. E. A. Ford, General Passenger Agent
of the Pennsylvania lines west Of Pittsburg,
of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad Company, said that his company
had paid no commissions to anyone since
the passage of the interstate commerce law.

YOUNGSTOWN, May 7.-Myron Wood, who
was rendered and accepted the appointment of
Postmaster here, to-day announced that he
had changed his mind, and sent message to

select someone else to fill the Office. Mr.. Wood
said that upon investigation he learned that
the Postmaster, to properly attend to the
duties. would have to be in the Office from 6 A.
NJ to l0P. NJ, and that the long hours would
impair his health, which is not the best by
reason of numerous guhshot wounds received
in the army.
