Bundle of Carpst Burning Under a Barn.

AS Motorman John ]. Burke and
Ben Dunnings we're walking homo at
an early hour Sunday morning, at
Pittston avenue and Fig street a strong
smell of burning rags convinced them
that fire must be smoldering some
where in the vicinity. After five
minutes search it was found that a big
bundle of old carpet, stored away un :
der the floor os an empty barn opposite
E. H. Jordon & Company's livery
stable, was on fire. The match was
evidently applied to it only a short
time before the discovery, as but little
Of the carpet had been consumed.
Burke and Dunnings quenched the
fire. and reported the matter to an Of.
ficer. The barn is owned by man
named Patrick Kane.

PULLMAN STRIKE BROKEN.
Company Besieged With Applica
tons From Strikers for Positions

Company Besieged With Applica-
tons From Strikers for Positions.
Chicago, Aug. 15.-The stampede of
Pullman strikers continued to-day, and
fully 1000 have applied for their form
er positions in the works. About 1900
men were on duty, and the company's
officials say that a force Of 5000 is
easily obtainable. All day long strikers
stood in line before the managers Of
flee, awaiting an opportunity to enter
their applications. The men freely ad-
mitted that the strike is broken, and
their only anxiety was to secure po-
sitions before the company's force is
complete. For weeks the strikers have
been on the verge of starvation, and,
with the announcement that the COM
pany would begin eviction for the non
payment Of rent. they weakened. The
strike leaders have lost control of the
rank and file, ard the men have an
nounced their willingness to work at
any wages. The Pullman officials have
intimatel that The " strikers who
return to work will not be pushed for
overdue rent, and this fact was largely
instrumental in causing to-day's wild
stampede for positions.
Assistant Manager Parent gave the
total nun Der of men at work as over
1900. The foundry started up to-day
for the first time. One hundred men,
all ex-strikers, were put to work and
200 more foundry men were refused
employment. d. f..
