LIVERY STABLEBURNED
SEVERAL VEHICLES AND THREE
HORSES DESTROYED.
No Insurance on the Property.
Vollrath's Shop Damaged-Bow-
ers' Stable Ruined.

This morning at 1890 o'clock
the fire alarm sounded from the
fire towers and called the depart
ment to the livery and sales stable
OF John Bowers, at Nos. 2ll, 2I3
and 2l5 South Flores street, a few
doors south Of West Nueva street,
which, when the fire boys arrived
with their machinery, was burn
ing flercely.
The stable was such a shell
In construction that nothing Of the
building except the tin roof, cou Id
be saved and the roof was damaged
beyond further use.
The fire was first seen by a gem
tleman who was passing and he
gave the alarm. 1t was located in
the northeast corner Of the hay loft
where a ton Of loose hay had
been placed an hour previously.
There seemed to be but one great
puff Of flame and smoke and the
entire structure was ablaze.
Mr.. Bowers and his stable hands
and number OF other men were
in the doorway of the stable at the
time. John Mead was clipping a
horse at the time.
These men and two fOundrymen,
who were passing at the time,
saved all the horses (there were
forty-seven in the stable and yards)
and got them to places Of safety.
There were six or seven vehicles
in the sheds and four OF these were
saved. Two goats were in the back
part of the building and could not
be saved. Three horses were also
cremated, one running back into
the fire after having been taken
out Of the place.
A car load OF fine northern
horses, received yesterday by Mr..
Mcleod, were in the stable, but
all Of these were saved.
Mr.. Bowers, the owner OF the
livery business, stated to a LIGHT
reporter that he held no insurance
on his business and it would DO
total loss to him.
The building was owned by Mr..
Dan Sullivan, the banker, and it Is
believed no insurance was held on
this.
The blacksmith shop OF Fred
Vollrath, No. 2l7, adjoining the
stable, was damaged about $500
worth by fire, which communi-
Gated to the roof and was kept from
burning the shop completely only
by the dremen and by the black
smiths employees with garden
hose.
Mr.. Vollrath carried no insur-
ance.
During the fire Mr.. Bowers had
both his hands severely burned
while saving some OF his property.
Chemical Engineman V. Dun
cans hands were also badly
burned. He got off the chemical
engine with the hose, and as he
rushed into the building the flames
leaped out into his face and com
Dletely enveloped him. His face
was partially covered and no part
of his person suffered save his
hands, which were exposed.
The flremen worked very faith
fully and inteIligently, under d.
rection of Chief Kehoe.
The cause of the fire Is supposed
to be cigarette dropped while I'M
loading the ton OF hay.

FEELING IN NEW YORK.

No Indication That Street Car Men There
Will Organize sympathy Strike.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Talks with the
employees of the Metropolitan Traction
syndicate and of the Cable road of this
city prove that the grievances of the men
are not such as to bring about general
strike in sympathy with the Brooklyn
Trolley road employees.
The Metropolitan Traction Syndicate
employs 5000 men on its Broadway,
Columbus avenue and many cross town
and belt line roads.
President Herbert Vreeland said that
he felt very certain there would be no
trouble whatever on the various syndi-
cate lines and that the men were very
we'll satisfied with the treatment they re-
ceived.
Samuel Gompers, ex-president of the
American Federation of Labor, said:
Il hope the men will win. This trip
system is bominable and outrageous. l
think the companies will find consider
able difficulty in filling the places
of the strikers. The demands
of the men are so reasonable
that the companies will find it more ad-
vantageous to conceed them than to
break in large number of new men. l
don't think it will be a long strike. The
companies will be compelled to see the
false position they are in."

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Having been in
formed by its law department that it has
not the power to directly regulate
the price of bread, the city
council of Chicago now proposes to

In doing so. it acts under the advice
of the law department., the corporation
counsel having reported that it is not
only within the power, but it is its duty
to collect evidence, if any exist, of a
combination of bakers under which the
price of bread is kept above reason
able figure, and to take steps to secure a
dissolution of such trust by the proper
tribunal

men, while eight unmouuted policemen
rode in the car. 1t passed through dis
trict where the strikers are reported to
be in more reckless mood than else
where, but the manner in which it WAS
guarded evidently Overawed any who
might have been inclined to lawleSsness,
for no attempt was made to stop it.
United States mail on the Flatbush
avenue line was started at 9:23 o'clock,
and the company announced that it is
determined to run the mail cars all day,
no matter what action the strikers may

CAUGHT A DOZEN.
The Police Capture Two Loads of Drunk
Tranps.

This afternoon the police captured a
gang of twelve drunken fighting tramps
at the Rock Island "Y." They were all
drunk and some OF them were very be-
ligerent. The crowd had to be brought
in two installments and in the first load
was young fellow named Myers, who
said he could whip any man on the po-
lice force in twenty minutes. AS the
wagon drove TO the station he struck at
Driver Sage with blow that would have
knocked him off his seat but Chief Lind
sey grabbed Myers by the coat, jerked
him out of the wagon and gave him a
good kick that he will remember.
They were registered as c. 1. Walter
house, Joe Murphy, John Rogers. John
Reagan, Joe Johnson, Richard Weston
and Frank Myers. The other five were
too drunk to remember their names.
1t was the drunkenest crowd the police
has captured for months.
