threatened strike on the trolley lines In Brook
lyn seems more inevitable than 1t appeared on
Saturday night. No progress was made yester-
day toward a settlement Of the difficulties; both
companies and men were preparing for war,
and the probabilities were strong that the tie
up would take place at an early hour to-day.
If there Is a strike. all the surface lines In
Brooklyn will suspend operation, and one OF
the elevated roads may be affected. The situa-
ton Is not complicated: the men demand an in

sarily follow a general strike. and the police

Prepared Breakfast While Asleep.

Somnambulism has in all ages fur
nished many curious Illustrations, and
among them may be noted one that
occurred in a Utica, y. Y, residence a
few days ago. The husband and wife
were aroused by the breakfast bell
ringing in the middle of the night They
arose and discovered that it was
o'clock, but on going down to the din
ing-room they found breakfast waiting
for them. They were greatly alarmed
at the condition of things, for they at
first imagined that the hired girl had
suddenly gone insane.
After Il few minutes, however, they
discovered that she was asleep. She
had got up, started the fire, prepared
the morning meal, and had it ready for
serving, but was sound asleep all the
time. The gentleman was about to sum

,OOO-FIarnes Rage for Four
Hours, Famed by High Wind.
Loss Placed of 100000.

Six men were killed and ten hurt Thurs
day night in the most disastrous ire which
has visited Minneapolis since the old
Tribune building conffa grafton, when the
fve-story brick building at 240 and 242
First avenue south, in which was the Mac
Donald crockery store, was destroyed.
The fire broke out at IL o'clock and burst
forth with sudden violence which defed
restraint. The building was full of straw
used in packing the china and the flames
fed upon this and swelled to gigantic pro-
portions. They leaped above the walls
and rolled in waves of fire over the roof
The entire fire department of the city was
called out and heroic measures were used
by the fremen to stay the terrible tide.
First avenue and Third street were filled
with spectators, who watched the awful
sight. Suddenly while they looked the
south wall tottered out and fell with a
sudden crash. A murmur of agony went
up from the throng who had but moment
before seen q squad of fremen run into
the alley with quantity of hose and turn
six streams of water on the walls and into
the windows. Sixteen men were under
that wall When they were dragged out
six were dead and others seriously in
jrred.
The property loss consisted of the entire
demolition of the building occupied by Nc
Donald Brothers, dealers in crockery,
chinaware, glassware, silyerware and gas
fixtures The building was of five stories,
brick walks and wooden interior frame
work. and was we'll stocked. The fire
originated in the boxes and packing stored
in the rear Of the building and was beyond
the power of the fire department to con-
troll. At few minutes before midnight
the walls fell, one side wall falling In
and the other falling out into the alley,
where the firemen were at work. The
loss will aggregate over $260,O00; insur-
ance unknown.
The first evidence of the coming disTs-
ter was the discovery of smoke from the
rear portion of the building at lO:4O
o'clock Several alarms were turned in,
one from the engine house only few
hundred feet from the fire. For nearly
half an hour fire burned within the walls
and roof of the building. 1t broke out
first on the alley nearest Third street, at
the door near the rear.
The fremen could clearly see that the
flames were under full Roadway in the
back part of the building, near the ele-
vator. All this while the front was still
dark, only a slight escape of smoke from
the doors and windows betraying the
fierce conflict of the elements within. SO
the great store stood for fully twenty min
utes. a vortex of flame within and cold
and dark exterior. The iremen themselves
in their efforts to get their streams to play
upon the flames opened the building TO
currents of air that changed the suppress
ed fierceness and sent its tongues through
the roof and the windows, casting a lurid
light on the surrounding scene.

Trolley Fender q Nuisance.

"Hey, there, Ike, here she comes"
Look out that she don't swipe you
to the gutter and spoil your new
Clothes" said Billy Moran.
A moment later, says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer, there was a wOman's
scream. A boy had gone under the
trolley and he was certainly ground to
death. The car was on the Twelfth
and Sixteenth streets line and she had
just passed Christian street.
A pug nosed, freckled-faced lad Of 10
had run out of Everett street to throw
himself before the death dealing troll
ley car. "See me do it, Frisby," he said
to a boy companion. He stood right In
front of the engine Of death. The mo-
tOrman could not stop. The fender
picked the rascal up. 1t was n by-play
that might have had serious results,
but the 10-year old dropped squarely
into the net and he was saved.
People will doubt it, but there is a
gang of boys who throw themselves
before the Twelfth street Tenders ev-
cry day. 1t is fun for them, because
they are never hurt. They know what
they are doing. and all the trouble they
have is q scolding from the conductor
or the mOtOrman whom they have wor
ried. There have been no fatal results.
