 Morning.
 Shortly after o'clock this morning Off cer Con Egan while patrolling his beat saw flicker of flame issuing from the barn of 0. A. Moeller in the rear of the Grand opera house. Shouting to Officer Collett, who was on the opposite side of Church street, he ran to the box at the corner of Church and Grown streets and turned in an alarm.

 MT. Moeller, the owner of the barn, could not at late hour this morning give any estimate of the loss.

At the Putnam Mills and Other Mills.
 PUTNAM, April 5.-Although the new schedule of wages in the woolen mills here has been in effect two days, none of the mill hands in the mills here have shown any disposition to strike on account of the reduction. The mills are all busy after a long shut down, and the general feeling among the mill employees seems to be in sympathy with the mill owners. They have been at work but two weeks, and the mill owners have promised to keep the mill running in consideration of the reduc- tion, the hands desiring to keep at work. It is proposed to restore the old rats of wages as soon as there Is an improvement in the trade. The mill hands at the Williamsville mills who struck yesterday because of the reduction, are still ont and the mill Is idle. There is no indication yet of settlement, and the strike may last some time. Thus far the Williams. vills wesvers have not called upon the mill hands here or in DAyville to join them in the strike.
