A 100000 FIRE.
"A Six Story Building Burned at
Elizabeth, NJ. j.

ELIZABETH. N. j., April. 13.-[Spe-
ciall-Fire broke out about noon to-
day which threatened the entire main
business streets Of Elizabeth, but was
confined to Clark's Arcade, tho largest
structure in tho city, containing tho
postofice, head quarters OF tho Now
York and New Jersey Telephone Com
pany' third regiment armory, district
court. several stores and many law and
other offices. Fire started in Chew's
picture frame store on the arcade, and
the building being Of centre draft con-
struction, the flames spread through the
entire structure in a few moments.
Nothing could be saved except some of
the stock of the stores on the ground
floor.
Letters and other contents of the
postotlice were removed, but several per-
sons risked thoir lives in the attempt.
The total loss is estimated at S4oO. 600.
The roof and the top story of the First
National Bank building were also
burned.
Clarll's Arcade was six stories high.
1t was built III 1866 and cost $50, 600. 1t
was insured for much less. Eleven

an opera house, were destroyed. An

But two facts could be added to the
public stock of information respecting
the diplomatic entanglcment with Italy
growing out of tho New Orleans ira
gedy. One of these was that tho state
department has not received any intima-
ton from the Italian government that
their last note must be answered
before given date. No. is such an in
timation expected for the department
feels that 1T is acting properly and reas-
onably, and it would be very unusual
course for nation engaged in diplo.
matte negotiations with another to CUES
tlon the motives upon which tho CORE
spondence proceeded.
Tho second fact is that Secretary
Blaine's answer to Marquis Rudinis
last note has not yet been forwarded.
1t was probably the Sccretary's purpose
to accompany this reply with an Official
statement touching the nationality OF
the New Orleans victims, and other
correlatiye facts that were expected
from the officials of the department Of
justice in New Orleans.
These reports have not reached Wash
ington. When they arc received great
care must be exercised in reducing the
facts contained in them to q form use
full to diplomatic use, so that unless the
Secretary is prepared to send his letter
without these facts it is not likely to 90
forward immediately.

Especial Tim Johnson, who committed
rape on Miss Alice Bailey last Tues
day, was, on Saturday. convicted and
sentenced to be hanged
Johnson was arrested almost in tho
the act. The grand jury happened to be
in session, and in few days from the
commitment Of the crime he was SEN
fenced. Miss Bailey is the daughter of
coal miner living on Davis creek, a
short distance from Charleston.
The town was crowded all during the
trial, every train bringing in miners
from the, surrounding country. While
the men were orderly and quiet there
was great determination that the negro
should hang. Had the jury brought in
any other verdict there is no telling
what tho result would have been.

Court Decision That Reverses the Action
of the Railroad Commission.
DIES MONIES. Iowa, April 13.-TSpc-
ciall-Judge Holmes has rendered a
decision in the Leslie station case in
volving the power of tho railroad COM
mission to enforce it's orders through
the medium of the courts. The case
was dismissed, being decided victory
for the railroad company and a surprise
to the commission.
On the line of the Des Moincs and
Kansas City roads are tho two stations
Osceola and Van Vert, fourteen miles
apart. At the former point the Chicago,
burlington and Quincy crosses and at
the latter tho Southwestern.
About midway between these points
was Leslie, also Il side track called
Phillipsburg north of Leslie. The rail
road company claimed there was more
business at Phillipsburg than at Leslie.
also that it found business was leaving
that station to go to Van Vert, therefore
the company concluded to close the sta
ton at Leslie and go to new one further
south.
Tho citizens appealed to the COM
missioners, who decided that the station
must be reopened. The company re-
fused on tho ground first, that the rail
way commissioners had no power to
make such an order. Second, that the
court has no jurisdiction to enforce the
order. Thi-d, that the company was
not guilty Of failure to perform it's
public duty. On the two law points the
court sustained the commissioners. on
the last question of fact it did not

ROANOKE. VA, TUESDAY MORNING, April a. 1891
WILL 1T BE A sTRIKEa
The Carpenters and Joiners
Firm in Their Position.

Tho Carpenters and Joiners held
rousing meeting last night. Ono hun
dred members were present and the in
terest taken was greater than over
known before. Tho president, J. NJ.
Patton, presided, and large amount of
routine business was transacted.
j. ii. Curry was elected delegate to
the Federation of Labor in place of d.
M. Cornelius, whose office was declared
vacant on account of non-attendanco.
The spirit of the meeting showed that
tho entire membership were firm in the
demands previously made. copy of
IIIE ZINES containing the action of the
Master Builders Association was pro-
duced and the article read. 1t went to
state that resolutions had been pa ,sed
by the contractors resolving that the
demands made by the carpenters and
joiners wcro derogatory to their inter-
ests, and that they would in no wise &C
cede to the demands Of tho union. They
were willing to pay good man fair
wages, but 10 hours must DO counted as
days work.
This produced no good feeling on the
part of those present. Speeches were
made by three fine stair builders. 1t is
said they took the constitution and by
laws of tho Master Builders Associa-
tions, and, going over the list of mem
bers, said master botches Two or
three know what work is, but the rest
are not capable Of estimating on build
| ing without the aid OF their employees"
The indignation of the members was
great.
They claim to have all the best car
penters in the city in their ranks, and
think they are fully capable to mako
their demands.
The union stood strong; not man
who was present wavered. 1t was re-
ported that a certain foreman for q
firm that belonged to tho Builders AS
ISOLATION was wavering, and would not
stand by the union.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Curry,
Henderson and Daddow on the question
before the unien. They advised every
man to stand firm, and no trouble would
be experienced in procuring their de-
mands.
A TIMES reporter interviewed several
members after the meeting closed last
night, and was told that they would GER
talnly strike May 1st unless they got
$3.50 day fixed as the m nimum fig
ure, and nine hours to constitute a DAVIS
work. They say they can check nearly
every building in the city should q
strike be necessary, and that they have
assurances of support from all other
unions in the city.
The time is now drawing close when
tho matter will be tested. The secre-
tary has been ordered to notify every
member to be present at the next two
meetings.
