Also Decides Not to Offer COmpen-
satiOn to Union Company.

The investigation of the license COM
missioners pales into insignificance COM
pared with the deliberations of the COM
mittee on transfer tickets for the simple
reason that the committee last named had
its deliberations" all by its "lone-
some" today, the. railroad people being
conspicuous by their absence, it having
been stated that Senator Aldrich had TO
remain in Washington to look after
Rhode Islands interests in the river and
harbor bill. The transfer ticket commit
tee met in room III, city hall, at noon,
Alderman Burbank being absent. Mayor
BicGuinness and City Solicitor Colwell

railroad people regarding transfer sta

and ii was unanimously voted not TO ac-

1t was also unanimously voted not to
offer the railroad company any terms for
transfers. Mr.. Vests proposition for a
partnership by the city, as a PROPOSE
tion of the committee, was rejected by a
vote OF 8 TO 2. Mr.. West and Mr.. Tanner
voting in the affirmative. This is to en-
courage the railroad people to "come

Waterbury Visited by DeS-
truCtive Fire.
Started in a Coal Shed and
Spread to Meat Houses.
Seventeen Horses and Several N. E.
Railroad Cars Burned.

WATERBURY, Conn, March 2s.-The
worst fire that Waterbury has experienced
for years broke out in the mammoth
yards OF the City Lumber & Coal Com
pany, located near the depot OF the New
England Railroad Company, which is prac-
ticalIy in the heart of the city, shortly
after 3 o'clock this morning, and burned
fercely for 10 hours. Three large estab-
lishments have burned out, and thous-
ands of feet of lumber and quantities Of
coal have been consumed.
Several New England freight cars went
up in smoke and flame. Seventeen horses
were roasted to Death and loss of at
least S15o, 900 has been caused. When the
firemen arrived upon the ground, the
low sheds OF the City Lumber Il Coal Com
pany were mass Of flames and a general
alarm was ordered, to which the entire
department responded. The wood and
coal furnished great material for the
flames and the fremen were powerless to
save the property of this company.
They confined their efforts 10 neighbor-
hood property, but in spite of all that
they could do the fire communicated to
the. Ia blishment of Lilley, swift * Com
pany, wholesale pork packers and beef
dealers. Their building was wooden
structure two and half stories in height
and was filled with meat for the Saturday
trade. Within a short time this place
was in ruins and the flames jumped to
another wholesale beef house. the pro-
prIetor of which is Valentine Bohl. This
place was also heavily Stocked and like
that of its neighbor, was soon in ruins.
After most heroic efforts the fire depart
ment succeeded In preventing further
spread and the flames were confined To
the yard of the lumber and coal company,
where the fire originated. In this yard
were three freight cars owned by the New
England Railroad Company, and before
they could be hauled away they were
burned. An effort was made to rescue
seventeen horses but the animals were
roasted to death.
Michael Welsh, employed to sleep in the
Lilley Swift K Company's establishment,
was badly burned, but will recover.
At noon the fire was still burning in
the lumber yard, but ut 1880 the flames
were practically under control.
The losses, az accurately as can be esti-
mateded at this time, are: CITY Lumber
e. Coal Company, s75, ,o00 insurance, $685.
600; Iilley, Swift & Co., $40, 600, insurance
Si0,000 Valentine BOIL, S25,0 coo insur-
ance total; sundry losses, $4,000. By
many it is thought the loss may reach
500, ,0c0, but $4,000 is given as a con-
servative estimate. The origin OF the
fire Is unknown.

A SEA FIGHTER.
Launch of the Big BattleShip
Iowa, Today.
She Is a Very Formidable Vessel
and First of Her Class.

PHILADELPHIA, March 2S. The battle
ship Iowa was launched from Cramps ship
yard this afternoon. When she slipped
of from her cradle and dipped her virgin
keel in the waters OF the Delaware, Uncle
Sans new navy received one of the most
powerful fighting vessels ahoat.
There never has been more successful
launch. Federal, State and municipal
governments were represented by high
dignitaries. Miss Mary Lord Drake.
daughter OF the governor of Iowa, named
the big naval baby. The bottle she broke
on Its great iron Prov contained cham
pagne. When Miss Drake christened the
ship her father stood beside her and near
at hand were the mem bers of his staff and
party of other distinguished lowans.
Secretary OF the Navy Herbert was there
with prominent attaches OF his office,
and so were the chiefs of the different
naval bureaus In Washington and MEM
bers of the House and Senate committees
on naval affairs. Governor Hastings
represented Pennsylvania and Mayor
Warwick Philadelphia. A mighty host
OF citizens saw the event.
Ii was shortly after i O'Clock when the
last tiepiece holding the monster to
the ways was knocked off and the tre-
mendous bull gave preliminary quiver.
Miss Drake, standing on a raised plot
form, rested one shoulder against the
hull and then as it began to glide away,
she swung her right arm and smashed the
the bottle square on the vessels nose.
She nervously murmured: II chrlsten
thee Iowa." but nobody heard her, be-
cause at that moment, the factories and
steamboats, let loose their ear-spli.ting
whistles, and the multitude gave vent
TO its frenzied roar of enthusiasm. The
racket kept up until the Iowd had grace
fully courtesied to the tribute in mid
stream, swung around and cast ancnor.
Then everybody on the boat shook hands
with everybody else, and they went into
the long mould loft for luncheon and
more fluctuations.
