THE sWITCHMEN's STRIKE.
The Several Railroads Will Lose No
Time.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March lI.-If two
thousand switchmen, employed on
the railroads entering Chicago,
should 90 out on a strike today
the roads would not, it is asserted,
suffer more than one day Of seri-
Gus Inconvenience. Since the ru-
mOrs Of a general strike among the
SWitchmon were started some time
ago the managers Of the Chicago
roads have not been idle, and today
they have enough men engaged to
fill every place left vacant by the
strikers. The Chicago and Eastern
Illinois company has been at work
for the past two days building
berths in its freight house at
Twelfth street, which are to be
used by the new men, providing
new men are needed. The officials
of that road have made a move
that may precipitate the strike. An
order was sent out by the road, de-
handing an answer from the
Switchmen employed on the road,
by tonight, as to what they are 60
ing to do. Grand Chief Thomas
Wilkinson, of the switchmen,
said that he did not know any
thing about the report. President
Carpenter of the Chicago and East
ern Illinois says, however, that he
issued such an order. 1t is also
said that the general managers Of
several other roads have made the
same demand, but they will
neither deny nor confirm the
report. 1t is emphatically sta
ted that the roads will act
as unit and any losses and ex-
penscs will be equally pro-rated.
At the switchman's hpa dquartcrs
every thing is quiet. Their grieV-
ance committee will meet either
tomorrow or Monday and settle the
matter one way or the other.

He was Nearing Death.

The $50 o'clock motor on the Alamo
Heights line, on its way to the Heights
very nearly ran over a man whose name
could not be learned 1t seems that the
man was driving along on a milk cart.
Just before the car reached him he pulled
over and crossed the track. As the wheels
were almost over the car struck the cart
and threw the occupant over onto the
track. The motor man almost instantly
checked the car and thus saved the life of
the, milk man.

THE BOSTON FIRE.
Loss 81, 100000; Insurance About
100000; Three Persons
Burned; a Number
Injured.

BOSTON, Mass, March II.-At
this hour, 9 a. M, no change is
warranted in the estimates Of loss
and insurance sent out last night.
In the loss on property, amounting
to 81, 100000, a little over a million
is on the buildings, and the re-
mainder on the stock. This is COW
cred by insurance, within 100000
of the total loss. Only three per-
sons are known to have lost
their lives; the injured will
number more than scores. All night
after the fire had been well under
control, there was little effort,
made to come to close quarters even
to explore the ruins for bodies. 1t
was too dangerous and too uncer-
tain in the dark, as there were tam
giles Of fallen wires that it made
one shiVor to touch them. The work
of the department through the
night was almost wholly confined
to the pouring on of water
from vantage ground Of the
security, keeping Il most Wig
OrOuS watch on the ruins.
