New York, Sept. 15.-Fire broke out
in the old Commercial Advertiser build
ing at O'Clock this morning. In fifteen
minutes the flames were beyond con-
troll. Many people were in the build
ing, and some of them had to slide down
the fire escape through the dense smoke.
1t is believed all escaped. From the
first it was seen th at nothing could save
the building, and attention was directed
to saving the adjoining property. There
were numerous narrow escapes. John
Gibbs, who was on the second floor,
came down the fire escape so rapidly
that his clothes were torn off and his
hair singed. There was considerable
scarcity of water at the commencement
of the fire. At IL 20 the fire was under
control. A few minutes later the outer
walls of the entire Fulton street front
fell with crash, and so great was the
conclusion that windows were shat
tered in the Bennett building, but no
one was injured. The building was
occupied by clothing, cloak and jewelry
firms, printers, etc. The total loss on
stock and building is 100000, most OF
which was insured. Other estimates
place the loss between $500,000 and
100000. A lot of loose diamonds,
which were on the tables of diamond
workers, were lost, valued at several
thousand dollors.

erhOod of Trainmen.
GALEsBURG, ILL.,, Sept. 15.-Today the
old board of trustees of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, discharged
by the grand master, applied to Judge
Glenn at Monmouth, for an injunction
restraining the new board from inter-
dering with the old board, in examining
the books and accounts of the brother
hood. This action resulted from the re-
fusal of Grand Secretary Sheehan to
recognize the old board, and his inten-
tiOn to place the books in the hands CT
the new board. The bill alleges, among
other things, that the grand master,
under the constitution, had no right to
appoint trustees when such Offices were
not legally vacant; that the old mem
bers were legally elected at a regular
convention, and never had been legally
deposed. A temporary injunction was
ISSUED. Mr.. Sheehan asserts that his
refusal to allow the old board to exam
inc the books is based on the belief thai
they had been rightfully discharged.
