Freight car Burned Up.

A car belonging to the Union line.
filled with general merchandise, caught
fire last night en- route west and was
totally destroyed. The freight train
men when near Thornton discovered
smoke coming from the car and pro-
ceeded to open it up. AS they did so
they were greeted with an outburst:of
flames and smoke and the interior
of the car began blazing like furnace.
1t was possible only to get the Union
car separated from the balance Of the
train and then let it burn up, clean and
clear. OF course. damage was also
done to the track and the incident
seriously delayed traffic on the line for
several hours.
The origin of the fire is not known. 1t
is quite certain that the fire was not
started by sparks from the engine. but
originated probably from the inside of
the car. 1t is not known that anyone
was in the car.

Boston Wool Market.

Boston, Sept. 2.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says: The
past week has been the quietest exper-
fenced in the wool market for several
months, actual sales aggregating less
than 100000 pounds. That consum-
ers are still interested in wool, however,
is shown by the presence in the market
of several manufacturers. including
one or two of the largest in the coun-
try, who thoroughly tested the situa-
tion, but the holders could not be in
duced to make concessions. The con-
sumption of wool in this country is
greater than for many years, if, indeed,
1t has ever been surpassed in amount,
and the needs of the mills must be sup
piled from the domestic woods unless
the latter advance to a point which
renders importations possible. Terri
tory woods, however, are still below the
level OF prices at which importations OF
woods In competition with them is ad.
| missible.

What the Completion OF the Crockett
Building Means to the East Side.

Colonel Seewald stated this morning
that he would in all probability move
his jewelry store from its present loca-
tion. 1t is understood that three dif-
ferent store rooms have been offered
him.
The completion Of the Crockett
building and the probable moving Of
the east side postotiice will cause re-
arrangement of business locations on
the east side Thus Mrs. Wsring will
move her stock of goods into the room
now occupied by Colonel Seewald's jew
elry store. This will not occur, how
ever, until the postoflice moves. Mrs.
Wsring will. considerably enlarge her
business operations when she moves.
although combining her atteGtion to the
same line of goods. She has been very
successful in building up good trade
and proposes to add to 1t in the fu-
ture.
1t is intimsted that the postofiice may
move into the Crockett building. al
though on this point there is nothing
certain. The location. If the rumor
should be true, is central and the ac-
commodations will certainly be OF the
very best.
1t was announced today that the
Southwestern Savings, Loan and Build
ing association, in conjunction with
Attorney Arthur Jordan, will occupy a
suite of four fine Office rooms on tie
second floor of the Crockett building
and lease to this effect has been mad !.

suite of rooms is located on the corner
of Sixth street and Douglas avenue and
faces east and south.
The Crockett building, it is stated,
will not be ready for occupancy until
sometime in November and possibly
not until December.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Sept. 2.-While
lye men were entering the mine at

been idle for some time, owing to a
strike.
A large number of deputy constables
are guarding the mine. The strikers
are worked up to a high pitch of excite

vocation to start general riot. Sheriff
Harvey will take the precautions 10
preserve peace.

loss would have run into thousands of
dollars.
1t is said the strikers warned few of

loyal to their employers that the first
one who entered the mine to work

Propose to Tunnel Sherman Hill

President Burt of the Union Pacific and
Chief Engineer Berry left Tuesday night for
New York, General Manager Dickinson fol-
lowing yesterday to meet the directors OF
the road to consider important matters rela-
tive to improvement of the system during
the coming year.
One of the worst features of the road
has existed at Sherman, hill Wyoming
where an immense grade has nterfered with
the speedy operation of trains. Heavy pas
senger trains have been necessarily divided
into sections in order to pass over the steep
grade. All attempts to improve this portion
of the track have proven unsatisfactory and
a plan is now proposed to put tunnel
through the hill. Engineer Berry, who
favors the tunnel. is provided with the
necessary charts and information to con-
vince the directors of the feasibility of such
a scheme. In case the tunnel shall be de-
cided upon Sherman hill will witness one
OF the most extensive and difficult pieces of
engineering ever undertaken by any rail-
road. Its length will necessarily be be-
tween four and five miles.
Other matters to be considered are cer-
tain cutoffs on the present line of the road
and improvements in the roadbed.
