Barn.
CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-Fire broke out In
the power-house and car barns of the
North Side Cable company last night
and destroyed the barn and
stampeded the horses. Many mar
row escapes were had as the horses ran
through the crowded streets Eighty
OF them were in the snoke-tilled stalls
pIunglng and tearing at their halters In
an effort to escape destruction. Stimuli
taneousIy smoke poured from the win
dows of the upper story, where were
stored thirty tons of hay and a large
Quantity of other feed and bedding. An
alarm was turned in, and four OF Eve
employees of the company set to worl. to
loose the maddened horses. Only
one door of the building was open,
but pick was procured and an
other entrance battered in at a door
farther north One by one the haltcrs
Wee cut and the horses fled along
Clark street in drovcs Crowds gath
cred around the entrance and in some
instances scared the horses back into
the burning stable. Many of them are
still roaming at large, but the greater
portion have been secured and placed
In safety. On the arrival of the fire
department a second alarm was turned
In and Little difficulty was experie need
In getting the flames under control DO
fore they reached the bulk of the hay
which is stored in the back of the
building The fire is supposed TO have
originated from an electric light wire
which runs from the power-house on
the north side of the stables over the
roof of the building.

STRIKE AT INDIANAPOLIS.
street Car Men Quit and All the Lines
in the City Tied Up.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. %. Another
strike Of the street railway employees
was inaugurated this morning, and not
a car was permitted to move on any of
the lines to-day. There was a full
meeting Of the brotherhood this morn
ing and they were unanimous in favor
of tying up the lines. President Fren-
eel has addressed a letter to Mayor
Sullivan outlining the situa tionandde-
handing police protection. If this is
not given, he says, he will hold the
city responsible for any loss that may
thereby occur to the company. He
recites the fact that the strikers have
grounded the electric wires on all lines
and have threatened violence if an at
tempt is made to move cars. This at
tempt, he says, will be made in the
morning if he has any assurance of
protection.

REG ULATING TELEGRAPH KA TIES
The state of Georgia Is trying an exper-
iment which will be watched with interest
by other states Il has authorized its rail-
road commission to regulate the prices for
the sending of telegraph messages. The
order has gone forth fixing the rates at Is
cents for messages Of ten words to be sent
within the state, 2 cents for each extra
word on day messages, ana cent for each
extra word on night messages. The tariff
heretofore has been 40 cents for messages
of ten words. It. is assumed that the tel
eqraph service, which is one sort of trans
portation naturally falls under the same
head as railroad, freight and passenger
service, which is another sort, and that it
therefore follows that it should be subject
to the same kind of supervision. The re-
suits of this supervision in the case of
these other lines of public service have
no. always been satisfactory, out the prin-
clple has become an established one of the
pubic policy, and 1t has certainly worked
vel! in the cases where Legislative inter
ference has been confined to its legitimate
limits. 1t is well that corporations of this
extensive and powerful nature should feel
that they are subject, to some extent, TO
regulation by the state. The Georgian ex-
pertinent of applying this surveillance TO
telegraph companies. will be awaited with
interest.

IT is mildly amusing to hear that the
Grant monument association of New York
have actually reached the conclusion that
''money will no longer flow into the
treasury voluntarily" and that something
really ought to be done. There are on
hand $3.50 848,-and, as 100000 is re-
uuired, Gen Coils is not extravagant in
saying that over two-thirds of the amount
has yet to be raised" Quite moderate
statement, indeed Gen. Coils thinks
that "public-spjrited men and women
should constitute d bureau, and with the
aid Of the press raise that little balance.
The legislature ought to do half, eff the
people contribute the other half" And
this is the measure of the metropolis of
the country, with hundred billionaires
am ong its inhabitants! For shame!
