New YoEK, May %. = Eugene v.
Debs, of Terre Haute, Ind, has been
in New York several days consulting
friends and old time associates concern
ing the details of the organization of
the American Railway union, a new
railroad order. Mr.. Debs was secre-
tary and treasurer of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive firemen for a dozen years,
but though unanimously reelected last
fall, resigned.
In an interview Mr.. Debs said that,
although there was in the United
States from 500, 900 to 1000, 900 railway
employees, not more than 1901 are
members of railway Organiza tons. Mr..
Debs believes the reason for small
membership in the various organ
izations now in existence is that their
machinery was too cumbersome and
altogether too expensive. There was
also, he said, too much one man power
in the present organizations. Mr.. DebS
added that it was proposed to gather
all branches of railroad employees into
the new order and that it's expenses
would be reduced to the minimum.
There would be no initiation fee and
as few officers as possible. The organ
ization will not be a secret oath-bound

the corner of Tilden and Bristol streets

four or five blocks in width. The scene
was one of indescribable excitement,
people becoming frenzied in their
desire to remove their household
effects from the devouring ele-

Journey of destruction. burning every
thing in its path. Drays, delivery,
wood, ice and coal wagons, buggies,
hand carts, cabs and everything in the
shape of vehicle were pressed into
service to move household goods beyond
the reach of the fire. Vehicles loaded
with household goods drawn by horses
on frantic run were rushing in all di-
rections to places beyond the reach of
the devastating flames, and vacant lots
were soon occupied by household goods.
In many instances these precautions
We're unavailing, as property after be-

All the hacks in the city were pressed
into the service to remove the invalids,

of safety, and the scene was one which
no description can do justice to and
which will be long remembered by
those who witnessed it. Many people
