This large factory was crowded with
girls when the FIRE broke out, and 1t was
instantly the scene OF q semi-panfc, the
frightened operatives, with many screams,
rushing to the roof OF the building and
thence crossing to other buildings and so
effecting their escape while the flames
were pouring out OF the basement. In less
than quarter Of an hour the flames had
enveloped the adjoining warehouse, and
thence they leaped across the street to an
enormous paper warehouse. which was
alight in less than ten minutes.
For four hours and half the flames had
their own way, and it was only after more
than o hundred engines had worked an
hour that the Chief Of the Fire Brigade sent
out the signal that the fire was under con-
troll. This was at 5.45 p. m. At that time a
rough estimate placed the loss at $685.

When the good news became generally
known, over $50 warehouses and dozen
or so minor structures had either vanished
or remained only in blackened walls, 4

Of brick and stone.
Following so soon upon the great fire at
Black Friars few weeks ago, when mill
ions OF dollars worth Of property was sim
ilarly destroyed through the inefhciency OF
the fire department, this event has awaI-
ened London to the fact that 1t is far be-
hind the times, and that its Government in
the practical work of extinguishing fires Is
a partial failure, and may well take lesson
from New York.
The brigade, too. was slow in getting to
work. and there was a noticeable lack OF
cohesion among the various sections. No
one was injured. but this was principally
duo to the fact that the fremen have not
half the 90 and pluck the American men
have, and prefer to work in absolute safety.

ketcham Was Kept Out OF Work-Rail.
road Must Pay Him 821 ,668.
Fred R. Ketcham, blacklisted freight
train conductor, a friend OF Eugene V.
Debs, and former member Of the Ameri-
can Railway Union, was awarded verdict
for s21 ,666. SO damages against the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway, at Chicago.
He ayerred he was put on the blacklist OF
every railroad in the country.
A score Of similar suits, it Is said, will be
begun by former employees, who assert
that every means Of gaining livelihood
were taken from them after the strike,
through the powerful Vanderbilt influence.
When the American Railway Union men
were called out to support the Pullman
strike in July, 1891, Ketcham gave up his
freight train.
All the strikers were dismissed, and when
they applied to other roads they found
their names on blacklist.
After struggling two years to obtain
steady employment, Ketcham entered suit
against the railway company for s25, 900
damages. The case has been on trial for
three weeks, and has been closely watched
by railway employees and officials all over
the country.
The main question before the jury was
whether the corporation had entered into
4 conspiracy with other and similar cor
porations to prevent Ketcham from earn
ing living.
