THEATERS BURNED.
Two Playhouses and Hotel In Columbus
DESTROYED by Fire.

COLUMBUS. O., Nov 25-As the orchestra
was playing the opening overture at the
Henrietta theater for the opening of play
by the Felix Morris company the manager
announced that there was fire in the rear
and requested the audience TO quietly re-
tire. All passed out in order. The fire
originated in the auditorium and uncom-
pleted portion of the structure and COM
municated Co the theater proper.
1t soon became evident that the new
Chittenden hotel, which was portion of
the same structure, connected by a bridge,
would also burn Within two hours the
whole of the quarter block had been burned
over, entailing a loss estimated at from
5000, 600 to 100000. Dickson & Talbot of
indianapolis were lessees of the Henrietta
and opened it in September, 1892, when il
was completed
They were also lessees Of the Park thea
ter I'm the same block which was also con
sumed. A sensational drama was being
presented by Gray and Stephens at the
Park The loss of Dickson & Talbot at
both theaters will be about $4,000 and
$4,000 respectively. The loss of Chitten-
den, the owner of the buildings. will be
over $500, O0O. A firm which occupied bust
ness rooms in the building was the Ohio
Savings and Trust company, whose loss
will be about 5000 A saloon, shoe house,
drugstore and "A small clothing house were
completely destroyed.
The loss of Felix Morris & Co. is about
g. ,OcO on wardrobes which burned The
fire takes from Columbus her best theater,
her best hotel and a number of fourishing
business enterprises. The ticket Office OF
the Columbus, Hooking Valley and Toledo
Railway company WAS burned out, with q
comparatively small loss.
A man who was recognized as Andrew
Armstrong, stage hand who worked
above the scenery, appeared at the fourth
story window Of the theater and cried fol
help. He was told not to jump, and h'
would be saved. He disappeared from the
window and was not seen again. The walll
of the theater fell in soon after. So far a
now known Armstrong; was the only lif
lost.
The guests Of the Chittenden hotel ha'
lample time to escape, but few of then
saved any property. The members O
the company were dressed for their part
and fled in their stage clothes.
Governor Mckinley lives at the Chitten
den, but both he and Mrs Mckinley are il
the cast now The private property q
value that the governor had in his apart
ments was saved by Captain Fl. o.
Hestand Of the regular army, who hal
pened to be in the hotel.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25-The report
that the general grievance committee had
called upon George W. Childs TO act ms
arbitrator in the trouble between the
Lehigh Valley railway officials and their
striking employees has been partially con-
firmed by Mr.. Childs. He said that when
the members Of the grievance committee
called upon him day or two ago the sub
iect was broachcd. but that he declined to
servein the capacity of arbitrator.
Il. Il. Clark, the official head Of the
Brotherhood of Railway Conductors, in
speaking of the proposed arbitration Of
the strike said that the conversation he
aud his colleagues had with George W.
Childs had been misconstrued.
What we did was this, said Mr.. Clark.
'We called ON Mr. Childs TO thank him
for an editorial which had appeared in The
Ledger ON the subject of the strike and its
causes. l wish TO say that we have never
gone into any fight that we have not been
willing to submit to any fair minded man,
rs Mr.. Childs is, or body of men of equal
| impartiality. This we explained to Mr..
Childs, and he asked if we had any such
man or committee in mind.

as arbitrator, but had he been willing TO so
act we should have been very we'll pleased,
as his attitude on the labor question is
very generally known"
Thirty-eight men were sent from here 70
| Bethlehem, who are expected 20 60 20 work
today. They We're in charge of eight private
detectives. One difficulty which confronts
the railway officials Is their inability TO Sc
cure "a sufficient number of competent
freight conductors. Past Grand Operator
Ihurston, in speaking of the trouble an
ticipated by the railroad company and tn,
application for troops, said There is nC
necessity, as far as the strikers go, for any
fear as TO their proper conduct. Our mer
will not interfere with the railway com
pany nor with its new employees any fur
ther than TO try in a peacenble manner q
persuade them not to take the places o

An Enrlne nlows un.

BUFFALO, Nov. % The Lehigh Office IN
this city received information that engine
No. Goa blew up. Engineer Cooley, Con-
ductor Henderson and a fireman were seri-
ously injured. They were nonunion men
lately hired. The accident took place
about IS miles this side of Sayre. The en-
gine was pulling an east bound freight
Following the 10 trains of merchandise
senteastward 10y the Lehigh and contain
ing 117 cars, three more freights were
dispatched This was considered Go be a
great days work, and the officials said
that it would hardly be policy TO send out
any more until the ability to move them to
Sayre was manifested.
IL was pretty well understood that the
action of the engineers and iiremen in the
Nickleplate and Lake Shore yards I'm ham
ding the west bound freight delivered to
these roads by the Lehigh Valley would be
the subject for action. This freight was
handled by nonunion men, and in accord
ance with the rules of the federation it
should be hoycotted by union men. It
seems probable that the men on these roads
will be asked TO go out. The question of
the hour is, "Will they do sos" If they
should decide to join in with their breth-
ren on the Lehigh, the spread of the strike
seems almost certain. Certainly the latest
events on the Lehigh are not such as to
encourage the men on other roads 20 go
out. IL is urged, on the other hand, that
federated labor is in its last ditch, and
the fight must be made now or never.
From the hall where a number of the
strikers were assembled could be seen the
tracks of the Lehigh with the trains NOV
ing eastward upon them. The men did
not seem to be the least bit discouraged by
the apparent raise Of the blockade and
stated that they would be reinstated within

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 25-General Mas
ter Workman Powderly backed water in
the session of the general assembly of
Knights Of Labor and endeavored to pla-
cate the strong opposing forces by present
ing new list of delegates, from among
whom four will be chosen for the general
executive board.
Balloting for the new general executive
board commenced early I'm the afternoon.
V. b. Mcclure of New York was the only
one of the new nominees who succeeded in
getting enough votes to elect him. Ballot
after ballot was taken for the remaining
seven men, but no result was reached The
election had to be declared suspended until
today.
After adjournment there was a great
gathering of claimants, and the claim Of
each nominee was pressed in the most eff
fective manner. This was kept up even
during the dinner hour and at the recep-
ton at Knights of Labor headquarters
The evenings festivities did not deter the
delegates from arguing the pros and cons
of the question and the qualifications of
the candidates for Office. 1t is said by those
on the inside that if peace could be de-
clared for a short time between the hostile
factions the affairs Of the order might be
better looked after.
A resolution was presented and lost to
make the executive board consist of only
the master workmen, worthy foreman, sec
retary-treasurer aud two members of the
order. 1t was enacted that hereafter the
secretary-treasurer shall act as secretary
of the general assembly. AT the hour of

mined to keep on with the fight against
