FIRE AT MELBOURNE
Causes Damage Mounting Up Into the
Millions


MELBOURNE, Nov. 21.-A great fire
broke out here at o'clock this morning
and in very short space of time did
enormous damage. 1t started at the
warehouse of Craig Williamson, in Eliz-
abeth street, just in the very heart of the
city a strong wind was blowing and the
fercely famed flames rapidly engufed
building after building. Despite the dss-
perate efforts of the firemen the entire
block bounded by Elizabeth, Flinders
and Swanston streets and Flinders lane,
with the exception Of two buildings on
Swanston street, were destroyed within
three hours.
The burned section included many of
the largest business houses in Mel
bourne. The buildings were completely
gutted, as most of them contained soft
goods, the flames progressing with a
rapidity which defied all checking and in
the fierce wind ashes and burning debris
were carried into the suburbs a distance
of two miles.
1t is estimated that the loss will reach
CT, ,000,O 900 (s5,000,000), while the trade in
soft goods has received q serious set
back. Hundreds of employees of all sorts
have been thrown out of employment

THE PIONEERS SOCIETY.
Incorporation Of an Organization That
Has Long Been Contemplated
Among Old Timers OF New
Mexico.

| Yesterday there was incorporated
ne W society which is destined to do an
i'm portant work in the future in New
Mexico. It is called the "New MEXICO
Pioneers" and is intended to take the
place here of the patriotic societies in
the east, like the Sons and Daughters of
the Revolution, Society of Colonial Wars,
Colonial DANES, ETC., etc.
The objects of this society, as set forth
in its constitution, are "to preserve the
history and traditions of New Mexico,
the biography of her eminent citizens
and the geneology of pioneer families, to
protect and preserve the land marks,
relics and literature of New Mexican his
| tory, to erect monuments and tablets of
| historic spots, to establish library of
books, pamphlets and manuscripts re-
lating to New Mexico and its people, and
| to inculcate patriotism and fraternity
among the pioneers and their descend
ants"
There is no part of the country where a
society of this kind has greater field
for interesting work than here, and its
organization now is certainly matter OF
congratulation. Prominent men and
women all over the territory have enthusi.
astically welcomed the idea, and the So
oiety will grow into large membership
almost at once.
The incorporators are l.. B. Prince
Page B. Otero, Amado Chaves, F. F. Pine
Roman A. Baca, Juan Santistevan, N. B
Laughlin, Jose d. Sena and j. Francisco
Chaves, names which are guarantee Of
success. The date fixed, as dividing the
pioneers from the new corners, is that OF
the arrival of railroad at the capital
February 8, lSS0-as that is supposed to
separate the old era from the new. All
persons aud descendants of persons who
came to New Mexico before the date ART
eligible to membership. Men and wo
men are equally entitled.
The society expects to do great wori
in the future, when its membership hal
become extensive. To prevent its be
coming unwieldy, however, the number
of members is absolutely limited to 500
The regular entrance fee is fixed at $l(
} with annual dues of IS; or $50 for lif'
membership. But as an inducement tt
early applications, great reduction il
made to the first members, up to 100 ant
$50. From the enthusiasm already shown
there is every prospect that this society
before year rolls by, will be equal il
size and Importance to many of its siste
organizations in the east.

Then for half an hour blew cigar smoke in
