There was quite fire yesterday at
the Junction. Abort o'clock in the
morning flames were seen coming fro
the car inspectors oil house. The flames
had gained such Roadway that they
could not be checksi. and besides the
men had little to hinier them with. The
switchman's oil hop'e and the house OF
the section boss, used for tools were
also burned. All three buildings were
burned TO the ground. Some OF their
contents were gottel out. The build
ings were not large, and the loss is not
more than $500. NJ delay on the sys-
tenn was caused By the fire. 1t is
thought that some tf the combustibles
in the oil houses Gnited causing the
blaze. 1t is lucky thing the fire was
in quarter where few buildings
were adjacent.
There is state OF quietness
about the Union Depot. Never in the
history OF the depot in this city were
things so dull. Fred Theirs. agent OF
the w. & L. E. freight department, Is
tue only one at the freight house OF the
line. By the orders OF the company all
his assistants have been dismissed ow'
ing TO the tie-upof the line. There
were seven of hese employees. No
freight is being hsDdled at the depot as
none of the freIghltrains on the system
are running. In he passenger depart
ment Of the w. q L. E. in the city.

in the city for SINE time, left the be.
ginning of this wed with the excursion

Der of the eXcursiotsts for the c., l.. &
w. Nearly all I'd delegates from the

John McSwiggen ene Of the employees
of the Union Ne"'S5mpany. in this

passenger depot. LeAing out too far,
he was caught and Kicked off by one
OF the stays Of the brfge. One OF the
railroaders seeing his anger, saved his
life just in time.
Its thought that tb employees OF the
o. r. will not strike. They ask the res
toraton OF the ten Jr cent cut, which
was given them last bring. The rail-
readers have submittId the matter 70
the head officials Of Iaeir orders for d.
rection. There is reIson on both the
parts Of the companjAnd the employees,
and 1t is thought forth reason that
terms will be reachebso that the mer
will not go out.
