B. & o. PowER-HoUsE BURNED
BRUNSWICK, Dec. 9.-The building
known as the power-house was burn
ed TO the ground here this evening.
The fire broke out about $3.50 p. M,
and in an hour the building was
complete wreck. The power-house
was one of the most important build
ings in connection with the new Bal
timore and Ohio yard at this point.
One side contained the boilers which
furnished power for the machinery
and steam for heating the buildings.
The other contained new Westing-
house engine and a Thomson Huston
electric-light plant. The building was
a wooden structure covered with cor
rugated iron and slate roof. A large
cupola in the center was the point
where the fire broke out. 1t is sup
posed that sparks from the somke-
stack lodged here, and thus started
the fire. But twelve feet from the
power-house was the storehouse, a
large frame building, containing tanks
of oil, waste and other railroad stores,
and only the coolest management on
the part of the yard officials and the
strenuous efforts of the men saved the
building. Strings of men passed
buckets of water along the caves and
over the roof of this building. 1t was
several times on fire, but men cheered
each other, and the building was saw
ed. TIE power house and its contents
are complete loss, which will pro.
badly amount to 5000 or $50, 600

SMOK ETOWN SCHOOL for the third
month has an enrolment of 90 pupils;
an average of q daily. The pupils
are bright, attentive and studious,
which is a letter Of recommendation
to their youthful but faithful and
painstaking teacher, Miss Belle Nc
Quilken, who taught here last winter.
The art of rousing attention and ere
ating a desire for learning, giving pu.
pills an appetite for study,-Is a very
interesting one for teacher to know,
if she aims to success ; this Miss Belle
possessed and thanks to her efforts
we were spared great deal of time
and labor usually spent in stimulating
children to work. This is what made
us so surprised and delighted with the
school. All honor and praise to the
teacher of last winter.
Trustees of the school are Messrs.
Murphey Tabler, Samuel Miller and
Corban Tabler 4; and if those gentle
men take the interest in the school
that all trustees should; there would
he no fault TO find with the teacher
they hired this term, for she is an old
hand, a true teacher, who loves her
chosen profession and one who never
shirks hut if the trustees grow care
less, inattentive and fault.finding las
is sometimes the case,) I would not
like to answer for consequences as
have heard it said by those who knew
her. that if you treat her as she de-
serves you will find her square wo
man; but if mistreated she is as
hard to handle as full grown porcu.

it:
THE democratic papers led by the

of course joins with the other pluto

alliances and the alliance press, they
stand solidly against the movement, re-

Upon the Farms.
clip from the Journal of Agriculture
the following criticism of the eight
hour resolution adopted by the Cincin-
natl conferences:
"As to our criticism of the eight-hour
clause, we have no apology to make.
We believe the laborers on the farm
are just as good rs those in factories or
trades; we know they work just as
hard, and If there is to be q law to
make eight hours q days work the
farm laborer is as much entitled to it
as anybody else. But we never saw a
farmer in our lives who could make a
living by eight hours work, or would
have man who called eight hours a
day, and we don't believe there is a
farmer in the country who has any
sympathy with such demand. No
body connected with this paper can
make living by eight hours work in
day"
However unwittingly and uninten-
tionaily the journal may have ranged
itself on the side of plutocracy, the fact
yet remains that the above is in exact
harmony and keeping with the line of
argument everywhere advanced by the
partisan, plutocratic press. the true
animus prompting which is de-
sire to divide the city and country
forces of the common toilers by Great
ing the impression that their interests
are antagoDistic rather than identical.
True to its class instincts, the partisan
press seeks to contain the idea that
there is nothing in common between
the interests of labor in the shops and
factories and labor on the farm, hoping
by holding the city vote for the pluto
cratic twins to stem the rising tide of
popular discomfort.
The argument itself however, is
