Demands of the oTelesrAphers

ST. LOUIS Sept. 20.-Ths telegraphers OF
the Missouri Pacific system have made q
demand for adjustment of grievances. The
difficulty, which is authoritatiyely stated to
mean higher scale of wages, will affect
over !. 400 operators on the Immense series
of the Gould lines and the outcome will be
watched with interest by telegraphers gem
orally, following 80 soon after the recent
Kansas City telegraphers' convention.
Recognition of the q der OF Railway Tel
egraphers too, is involved, and incidental
ly the several recent conferences with Chief
Ramsay assume added interest. Ram say
has been in consultation for weeks with the
most influential members of the order and
has also learned what sympathy. and how
much of it. may be expected from allied
railway orders.

Rockaway Visited By the Most De-
structive Fire Ever on
Long Island.
Most Of tho Hotels and Summer
Resorts Go UP In
Smoke.
A Strong Wind Helped on the Progress
of the Flsmes-ssaside Avenue
Laid Waste.

RooKAwAY BEACH. Sept. 20.-Ths largest
cOnfaRration that ever occurred on the
Long Island coast destroyed over one hun
dred frame buildings here to-day and left
about one hundred and sixty acres . mass
Of ruins. The main portion of the famous
old summer resort 10 completely wiped out.
The fire broke out about 1925 this after
noon in the Seaside museum. A high wind
carried the flames across Seaside avenue
within five minutes after the flames broke
through the roof Of the museum. Ths IRE,
roaring on both sides of the avenue and
famed by the wind. began eating its way in
all directions. In quick succession the
flames attacked the hotels along the beach
and On both sides of Seaside avenue.
Among the principal buildings burned wero
the Collins hotel. Brands Ocean hotel,
the New York hotel. Petetson's
and Barrv's hotels. Myers hotel,
the Pavilion and Pier, Columbus
hotel, Roach's hotel, the annex of VAIN
wright d. Smiths hotel and pavilion, Burch-
ellis grocery store, Simpsons hotel, Kruse's
hotel, DR.. Pulls drug store, Peterson's pool
room. Globe hotel, the fire tower, electric
light station, Gsrrison's hotel, and on the
beach the Hotel Stuttgart, Ocean house,
Columbia, Schuber's hotel, Morrison's ho-
tel Grand Republic hotel. Msissner's hotel,
= shooting gallery and csrousal, Seaman's
hotel. Hotel Albemarle and st. JAMESON
Boulevarde. Besides these buildings, all of
large size. host of smaller buildings occu
pied by drug etorss cigar stores, ice cream
and candy stores. shooting galleries and
stores of such class, were destroyed. With
them went the merry-Ro- rounds, oarousals,
toboRgan slides and many similar devices
always found at seaside resorts.
In vain the few residents of the beach,
aided by boatmen, battled with the flames.
The efforts we're thrown away. Aid was
summoned, but, arriving, made little differ
ence. About $50 p. m. the flames, after
having practically burned themselves out
for want of immediate material upon which
to feed, were brought under control, but
fire was still burning brightly at midnight
in the center of tho burned district. How
the hames started 10 unknown. Mrs.
Phillips employed in the museum, is the
only person known to have lost life in the
eeived burns and other injuries while fight
ing the flames. It ia impossible tonight
even to approximatel estimate the amount
Of losses. BY some 1t is estimated at over
$2O0O,OO while others do not believe
the total will amount to one-qunrter that
amount. A vast undesirable crowd is con-
gregatinp, consisting principally of ghouls
who are reaping a rich harvest from the
misfortunes of burned out l'eople. 1t 10
said the inau Rnce policies will not more
than half cover the losses.

Miss0uls November II,

John burns Sentenced tn BE Hanged ~
Missouis November IL.
MIssouLA, Sept. 20.-[Special. John
Bnrns. the convicted murderer Of Maurice
Higgins was brought into the district court
this morning for sentence. He sesmed 10
b. very cool snd self-possssssd. much more
than the venerable Judge whose duty 1t was
to pass the sentence of death upon him.
When hs was asked il he had anything to
say why sentence should not be passed
upon him. he said: II am not the man who,
did the shooting. am innocent and there
10 one who knows l am innocent, and
that 10 God Almighty. ] am not afraid to
be hung, but ] do not want to be hung for
. crime I did not commit. The court
should look after Tho man Brown. Brown
10 probably somewhere in the United States
keeping oases on this trial and he should BE-
found"
The judge did not say anything more
than the usual formula. and set the date Of
hanging at November II, 1892. The man
Brown is the one referred to by Lyons - his
partner. Brown has always been supposed
to be a mythical rersonago introduced by
the defense a. the person who WAS with
Lyons whom he took the goods from
the store during the hre while
Burns has been credited with being the one.
No one could bs found in Missoula that saw
or knew Brown. II is now claimed that
parties in Arlee can testify that Lyons did
have such partner when he WAS there. and
that he fesembled Burns in general appear
ance.
