looked like loser. Everhardt got first

A Terrible Fire Started by Firebugs-The
Burned District Covers Sixteen Acres.

Erie, Pa, September 25. Fire started
in the Erie Car Works last night and
swept an area of 16 acres. leaving Moth
ing standing but the wheel foundry.
The incendiaries crippled the car works
hose cart and then applied the torch to the
building used by the Lake Shore rail-
road as repair store house. The fire
reached a quantity of waste and soon
got beyond control. The wind was blow
ing a gale, and with oil and other in
fiammable material for a stimulous
the fire spread rapidly, destroying the
store houses, machine shops and setting
up shops TO the number OF six or eight
in less than two hours. The firemen,
already exhausted by the fires of the
two or three previous days, were driven
back by the flames with blistered faces
andshands. They made frantic resist
ance at the oil house and paint shops, a
point where, if passed, it meant a gen.
eral confagration in the city. Hundreds
of citizensssrushed to their assistance, and
their combined efforts prevented the
further spread of the flames. A score
OF houses were on fire at different times.
The fire was the second attempt within
two weeks. The buildings were original
ly erected 26 years ago, and enlarged
until the entire plant was valued at S2,-
500, 600, although in their idle condition
and as result OF litigation their value
was reduced. The Weeks Coal Compa-
ny of Buffalo had 25 cars in the shops
under repair, and they were burned.
The mayor aud city council met this
morning and doubled the police, and
manufacturers put on forces of extra
watchmen, heavily armed, at plants. in
consequence of threatening notices.
There is great state of alarm. Half a
dozen factories had fires started by in

look as if the operatives would gain the
day but vast change quickly came over

which means as far as l can predict a long
and bitter struggle. The manufacturers
realize the determination which Character
