BLACK NESS AND DESOLATION.

Appearance of the Burned District in

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 29.-The scene in
the burned district this morning is one of
blackness and deaolaton. In twelve hours
from six O'Clock last night was crowded
destruction that will take more than as
many months to repair, and much of the
destruction wrought by the flames can
never be restored. Starting in the store of
the Union Oil company, on East Water
street, the fte swept before fierce gale
| over thirteen blocks of residence and busi-
ness houses, more than three hundred
houses in all. and caused a loss of four lives
and $G,000,000 worth of property. 1t is
known that four lives were lost and four
PERSONS badly hurt. Killed: Henry Ped
denbrock and Charles Starr, fireman,
crushed under walls; Mrs. Kalahan and an
| unknown woman. died from the effects Of
the shock. 1t is feared the watchman of
the Budd d Kipp Go. was burned in the
factory. That the loss of life is 30 small is
cause for congratulation.
A conservative estimate of the mum Der of
people rendered homeless, based OH the re-
cent registration in the burned distr lets,
places the number at 1900. Nearlv all are
poor and have lost the little all they pos
| sessed and are dependent on outside help.
Last night hospitable citizens threw open
their homes to them, and means are being
taken to provide for their immediate wants.
The Germanla society decided to turn over
the receipts of the fair to be held next
week. Several hundred business men as

| to arise funds for the fire sufferers. In a
short time nearly 5000 in subscriptions
were announced, among them $1,000 from
the Brewers association of Chicago.
| committee was appointed to increase the
sum to 100000. Democratic candidates in

| The exposition building, schools and
churches have been opened to the destitute.
The total loss to the insurance companies
is between $4,000, 900 and "a 600, 600, divided
between about two hundred companies

VIRGINIA City. via Dillon. Oct. o.
Especial. Samuel Word, accompanied by
W. A. Haven, arrived last evening in con-
neetion with the railroad project. He ad-
dressed a large and enthusiastic audience
and made decidedly favor rable impr ession.
He successfully contradicted the malicious
falsehoods circulated 30 industriously by
the capital fends, and submitted oreden-
tials from prominent Helena capitalists
who stand ready to back the enterprise.
He struck the right chord and carried con-
viction in every statement. Prominent
eitizens responded, expressing hearty Co
operation. Beaverhead guaranteed the
right of way to Point of Rocks, and will
make other efforts immediately. Citizens
at Twin Bridges turned out en- masse. The
enthusiasm of the ladies was notable fea-
ture. They raised a subscription among
themselves to pay the expenses of a com
mittee TO socure the right Of way. No less
interest was manifested at Sheridan. They
are ready to lend everv aid possible. Sew
eral farmers, unable to contribute funds
offered to grade through their land and
take pay in freight. Others were willing to
subscribe in labor in lieu of money. Cap
italiats from Laurin will consult here to-
day. The people have caught the right
spirit. and the right of way over the entire
route ia almost assured.

Pacific tickets in the hands of scalpers.
This is the problem that confronts western
passenger officials. The usual method of
meeting such cases is to reduce rates to the
prices quoted by the scalpers and freeze
them down to the price they paid for the
tickets, but in this case it 10 supposed the
tickets were in a large measure counter
feited outright, although many have been
found of genuine issue which have been
raised from short to long distance points.
The trouble originated in the guaranteed
non-counterfeitable and non changeable
tickets adopted by the Union Pacific and
called the "Lomax" ticket. 1t
is apparently the first principle
from which the simplex ticket, invented by
General Passenger Agent Thrall, was
evolved. Mr.. Thrall got as far as the So
called "Lomax" ticket and found it could
be manipulated. He afterwards improved
to the present northwestern simplex ticket.

Union Pacific adopted the uniform and has
brought about complication which may
result in the loss of hundreds of thousands
of dollars. 1t may result in a series of law
suits if the Union Pacific abandons the

vent widespread decentralization.
