Election of Officers Here of Two
Big Companies.

The Inter Ocean p~arlors were the
scenes yesterday of the meetings of the
directors of two great corporations elected
to play an important part in the progress
of Wyoming and especially in the devel-
opment of the central portion of the terri
tory.
In Wyoming the Pacific Short Line is
Incorporated as the Wyoming Eastern
and has expended nearly 5000, 900 in sur
veys and investigations. This is the new
board; Willard R. Jones. president; d.
Mckenzie, vice president; T. w. Tom
%linson, secretary. E. H. Stone, treasurer,
W. d. B. james.
The Wyoming Pacific Improvement
company is to build the Short Line across
Wyoming. Its new directory is: Wen
dell Goodwin, president; Z. e. Gedney,
vice president; Amos T. French, secre-
tary and Treasurer and Willard r. Jones.
Contracts made by the old boards dur
ing the past year were confirmed. Among
the number is the bargain with ScuIleu &
Stacey of st. Louis to do about sl5, OOO,-
600 worth of construction work, COM
mencing within thirty days after receiv-
ing orders Eighty miles of the road has
been completed and equipped and 40
miles is under way. O'Neill. Neb sta
ton will be opened July TO-.
When work begins on the Scullen &
Stacey contract it will be at every a~ccessi-
Bile point on the survey.
Short Line people in own are most en-
thusiastic over the project. They are all
men of great wealth and a pretty keen
lot. SAID Mr.. Jones last evening:
mo enterprise Of equal magnitude has
ever been successfully carried out except
with government aid. but we ask no sub
sidy and have the money to build, equip
and maintain 900 miles OF road guaran-
teed. The trans continental business
last wear amounted to $50, 900, 900.
With a short line and minimum grade we
will get our share of this through bust
ness and more too. Our local trait will
quickly reach marvellous proportions.
Let me enpmerate a few of the resources
to be opened up by our line. Coal, iron,
mica, lead. building stone, soda, oil, as
bestos, graphite. We cross the best
range and farming country in the terri
tory. We are about to close a contract to
haul 800, 600 barrels of oil a year for one
company"
Mr.. Goodwin. who was lately enlisted

Willard R Jones, of the Pacific Short
Line, says he hears that an English syn
dictate with $50, 200. 900 has purchased
options for thirty days on several hundred
oil claims in the central Wyoming petro-
leum fields.
This syndicate is figuring on giving the
Pacific coast cheap oil by piping several
hundred miles in that direction. If the
plans proposed are feasible the deals pend
ing will be closed.

A mau passing the paintshop of Geo, Rechelt, i633 Frank lin avenue at 2;45 o'clock this morning. was suddenly startled by loud shrieks emanatiug frem the rooms in the top floor of the two story structure, and looking up, saw a burst of flame shoo; out from tLe windows. An alarm was immediately sounded from box 252, Sixteenth street and Franklin avenue, and the department re- spending promptly, turucd their attention first to rcscuing the inmates who were now shriekiug loudly for aid, though their cries were soon smo;hercd by the terrible smoke from the paint and oil with which the lower floor was stocked. While the fro men already on the scene were bursting windows to secure entrance to the struc- ture, others brought out by second alarm, turned streams of water upon the flames which continued to blaze iiercely.
 Finally the front window of the second floor was burst in and soon Il fireman emerged bearing in his arms the figure of a woman. It was Mrs. Annie Wolff aud she was horribly burned about the head, body and limbs. In the same room from which she had just been rescued were her husband, George Wolff; her son Walter, age ,; her lyear old baby, and the grand. father was the next 10 be brought out, then came the children.
 They were all sent immediately to the City Hospital and are expected to die. The search for the grandfather continued, but was unav ailing for fully half an hour wheu his lifcless form was brought out. placed in a patrol wagon and taken to the Morgue.
 Just after the last of the family had been rescued Charles Huss, occupant of the room over the saloon of Henry Held, 1885, 10 which the flames had already commuui cated. rushed frautically into the crowd and implorcd some one to save his wife and 6-year old son, who were asleep in the room above,

 These were the last of the inmates of the place, and the fremen then turned theii attention to toextinguishng the flames, which succumbsd in a few minutes.
 The fire is supposed to have originated in the rear of Rciehelt's paintshop, where the paint aud oil served as splendid fuel and burned 80 smoulderingly that ths flames had gained great headway before they were discovered.
