People have mistaken idea about my

''The votes of the members OF the brother
hood are taken in such Ia case, aud all
that the executive officer can do is to APP
prove or veto their action. / have no
more power to order strike than you
have"
The Central people commented upon the
absence of Chief Arthur, of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, from
Buffalo as indicating conservative spirit
and as showing that the engineers will
keep clear OF the fight.

a formidable fighter against the Central

The WEEK IN NEWPORT.

Notes.
ESPECIAL TO THE NEws.l

NEWPORT, Aug 19.-The pace i'm society
circles has been extremely fast all week,
so that after the dissipation attendant on
the subscription ball. there was quite a
lull In matters Of entertaining last night.
or course there were several small dinner
parties but nothing of any moment. the
only dance being at the cottage of ex-
Secretary Whitney. where number of
young people were entertained in honor
of the youngest son. Edward Paine
Whitney. Mullaly's orchestra furnished
the music and an elegant supper was
served at midnight.
One of the principal topics among soci-
ETY. people yesterday was the death OF the
Duke of Manchester, who was SO well
known to Newport people under the title
of Lord Vaudeville. He married Miss
Consuelo Yznaga, a Newport belle, and
some ten years ago spent the summer
here. He became notorious through
raising cain" with the Indians in their
attack on the stage-coach at an exhibition
Of Buffalo Bill's show out i'm Aquidneck
Park.
Not content with blazing away with
shotgun and revolver, he and more Of his
ilk wanted to lick every Indian or cow
boy in the show. 1t caused a great sensa-
tion here at the time and was telegraphed
all over the world. Several days after
this he and his croDies had been out at n
gambling den and entered the club-ho
about 9 A. NJ, just as soon as the doors
were open.
After wetting up, a drag and four
horses was procured and the gang got
aboard. Vaudeville took the box and
sent the four horses at gallop down
Church street, which is very steep, but
with rare skill and drunken luck the
team was whrled into Spring street, the
drag running on its two wheels while
spectators expected every moment t. see
all aboard get fired into Trinity Church
yard, clear over the fence, but magnificent
horsemanship narrowly averted such an
accident.
The match games at polo yesterday af-
ternoon between the Morristowns and
Meadowbrooks brought out all society,
anxious to get breath OF fresh air after
the ball of the night before. The game
was remarkable only so far that the
handicaps as given below were all in favor
of the Morristowns against which the
Meadowbrooks struggled in vain.
The teams were:

A Paper for Beggars.

Numerous as are the journals which
are being constantly started in this and

producing a special organ for the beg
ging profession is entirely novel. 1t is
reported that Paris will soon see this
Beggars' Journal published, and fear
full and wonderful news-sheet it promises
to be, with "tips''-not of the pecuniary
kind-for all sorts and conditions
of mendicants. There are to
be complete lists of the
baptisms, weddings and funerals to take
place each day." so that the beggar who
subscribes to the paper will know where
to go if he wants TO ply his trade sue
cessfully. For tho advantage of beg
ging letter wrlters special column of
the journal will be set apart for noting
1.-The arrivals and departures OF persons
of known charitable tendencies. II the
philanthropic millionaire should be sur
prised on returning to Paris to find that
pleas for assistance at once begin to
pour in on him, he will be able to
put down the phenomenon to
the kind offices of the Beggars'
Journal. The question naturally
arises as to who will be the contributors
of the literary matter. Will it be writ
ten "by beggars for beggars," or how?

land with charitable journals which
number a goodly supply of most able and

Fire Almost Consumes the Magnificent
Union Depot.
The union depot narrowly escaped COM
plete destruction by fire at an
early hour yesterday morning. But
for the prompt action of the
fire department the magnificent structure
that has so long been the pride of the Gate
City would now be a mass of charTed timbers
and smouldering ashes.
The fire originated in defective chimney
and the roof was mass of
flames when the smoke pouring
down into the upper story warned
the occupants of their danger. An alarm
was at once turned in and a half dozen fire
companies We're quickly on the ground. On
account of the great height of the building it
was some minutes before the hose could be
carried to the roof and brought to bear on
the flames. The occupants of the Offices in
the upper stories stayed to collect their most
valuable papers and were almost blinded by
dense clouds of smoke. The valuable furni-
ture was left to the mercy of the flames.
The officials of the Union Pacific road were
reused from their slumbers and tearfully
watched the destruction of their palatial
edifice which they had labored so long to
bring to perfection. In half an hour the fire
WAS uHuCI CoHplOl anu NcSU Hall VI plS
structure containing the ladies waiting room
and the express offices was saved. But the
interior was practically ruined by smoke and
water. The beautiful frescoing on the cell
ings was begrimed by smoke and can
hardly be restored and the costly plush fur
niture was so soaked with water as to be
almost entirely ruined. The baggage room
was entirely Quilted and will have to be par
tiallv rabl1ilt A few l)iprpS of bnpp1pp
slightly damaged by smoke and water and
the marble work was ruined by the intense
heat.
The officials were of the opinion that the
damaged parts of the structure would be re-
stored but it would be difficult to
duplicate the original magnificence
of the building. 'It is terrible
blow to the road" said one of them, "but a
meeting of the directors will be called at
once and perhaps the city council can be pre-
vailed upon to grant us some additional
privileges in the light of our misfortune" :"
The furniture which was ruined will be re-
placed by furnishings of equal elegance as
soon as the material can be ordered from the
east.
The total damages will reach nearly 500
which is fully covered by insurance.
About II o'clock a consultation of Union
Pacific and Burlington officials was held in
Mr.. Kimball's Office and after free inter
change of opinions it was decided to repair
| the damage done the structure and Mr.,
| IIaney, the depot master, was given inStruc-
tions to at once hire all the carpenters needed
| to inclose the shed from the weather. AT
! noon half dozen men with saws and ham
