OF furniture. pictures and bric-a- brac was
saved, but the family lost all OF their wear

were overlooked by the citizens. who did all
that they could to save property. The beau

A Chicago dispatch says: There is
prospect OF trouble between the lines of the
western Passenger association and those
OF the Transcontinental Passenger associa-
ton over the rates and arrangements for
tho meeting of the Young Peoples Society
of Christian Endeavor at San Francisco
next July. No definite arrangements have
been made as to rates. but IT. is charged
that some of the transcontinental roads
have already contracted for large parties
on the basis OF round trip rate of $50
between Chicago and San Francisco. There
Is some talk among the roads of the West
ern Passenger association of taking action
that will compel the society TO hold Its
meeting elsewhere, and thus punish the
roads that have made the contracts"
