st. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 22.-Fire late
last night destroyed the old frame street
car barns on University avenue between
Macubin and Kent streets. There were
nearly 100 cars of various patterns in the
building, together with a large quantity
of supplies II is believed that the loss
will reach S75, 600, partly insured.

frame structure could not be saved in the
strong wind and made successful efforts
10 save adjoining property. The electric
cars between ST. Paul and Minneapolis go
along University avenue and the fire rar-
alyzed the cars, besides bringing down
the telephone and telegraph wires. The
floats i'm the recent winter carnival were
stored ia the barns and were oil dest oy-

NEW STEAMSHIP COMPANY.
Temporary Officers Chosen and an Ex-
ecutive Committee Appointed.

The present condition in relation TO
transportation in and about Providence
has aroused merchants of the city and
they have revolted in a mild way against
the monopoly held by the Consolidated
transportation Company and are rapidly
making preparations to organize a new
freight steamship company.
Yesterday afternoon at 80 O'Clock a
special meeting OF merchants represent
ing the different industries of Providence
was held at the office of the American
Transportation Company, rooms 311 and
3l2, in the Hodges building, ia Weybos-
set street.
Mr.. Il. n. Getzler, the manager of
the American Transportation Company,
was requested by the merchants to MAKE
no statement to the press From other
sources, however, 1t was ascertained that
everything of preliminary nature for
the formation of the freight transporta-
tion company was perfected. tempor-
ary set OF officials were elected, and an
executive committee appointed. The
name OF the new corporation Will prob
ably he the Commercial Steamship Com
pany, and the capital contributed will be
In the vicinity of $3.50, 900. TIE capital
will tie fully paid in before charter is
asked for
BY adopting this plan the new company
will not be compelled to subject their
chances of obtaining charter TO the
General Assembly.
By the plan in use by the merchants
when the money IS all paid in and the
stock issued 1t wiz only be necessary
for them TO show their bank certified
treasury report to the Secretary of state
and the Governor in order TO able them
10 obtain their charter. II is also the
project OF the company to have all the
capital stock bought IN by the origi-
nators OF the corporation, thus having IL
controlled entirely by local interests.
Excellent dock facilities have been
obtained, both i'm Providence and New
York, and negotiations for feet Of
freight steamers will soon be completed.
In about a month a general meeting of
the merchants will be called and all Of
the details of the organization will be
completed.

BELLS RUNG.
A Reminder of Washing
tons Birthday.
Flags Waved From Public
and Private Places.
Parade of the First Light Infantry
Time HOnOred Custom.

When George Washington took hack
at the cherry tree he presumably had no
thought that anybody would think of
working on the anniversary of his birth
day and ss a matter of fact in some local
tiles the day is observed by cessation Of
ell labor. Here, however, aside from the
State and municipal employees, nearly
everybody has to work just the same.
There would naturally be no school be-
cause it is Saturday. The only noticeable
indicationsthat today celebrates nnybody's
birth are the ringing OF the bells morning
noon and night, and the display of the
Stars and Stripes on all public flag staffs.
The first Infantry Regiment also has a
display Ii being the custom each Wash
ington's Birthday to parade the principal
streets, leaving Infantry Hall at noon.
The letter carriers make but one deliv-
cry and the stamp Office was closed after
10 O'Clock. Stamps We're available at the
mailing department. The city hall was
closed all day.
