A fire which occurred in one Of our
principal cities was made the subject of
fire inquest By the underwriters, with
the following result:
The first witness was the captain OF
the first fire company that arrived on the
scene, who testified that he found the
entire building in flames when he arrived.
He considered the fact that kerosene
light was used by the tenants on the
third story, and he thought the light
might have set fire to a curtain.
Another fireman was of a different
opinion. He had noticed that on the sec
ond floor there was an incandescent light,
with defective wiring, and he attributed
the fire to this cause
The regular policeman on that beat
was next called He had still another
theory, which was that the arc light III
the store on the first floor ''sputtered'
sparks of red-hot carbon. and as the
goods below were very intiammable. he
felt sure the fire was from this cause.
At this point the owner of the building
asked to say a word, and on permission
being given. he closed the investigation
with the following:
las regard the theories submitted,
would call attention to the fact that at
the time of the fire kerosene lights had
been used in the third story for ten
years: incandescent lights had been in
use on the second floor, and arc lights on
the first, for six years but there were
two lsraelites i'll the basement who had
been there only one week.'-Life.

REBUILDING THE RAILWAYS.
A Multitude of Men Repairing Flood

Dallas, Tex, July 12.-The railroads Of

paired as rapidly as reconstruction opera
tions can be pushed wherever the water
has receded sufficiently to permit work
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas and the
Gulf. Colorado and Santa Fe, the Houston

men working day and night. The Santa
Fe has 1,500 alone from Thompson and
Rosenburg southwark and the Missouri
Kansas and Texas has 800 on the little
patch between Brookshre and Dewey.
These are about the two worst localities
on the systems named. The Santa Fe will
have to build from twenty to twenty five
miles Of new tracks, the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas from fifteen to twenty, and
the Houston and Texas Central from
twenty to thirty miles. The items for
washouts, bridges, and culverts are also
large ones in the expense account.
The Southern Pacific has not suffered as
heavily as the other roads named, but its

roads will be likely to resume regular and

in which he makes an exhaustive defence
OF the consolidation of rival manufacture
ing firms. wrongly called trusts He says
in part:
The revolution in methods of conduct
ing business arises from natural causes.
There is no retreat. The enormous savings
have enabled corporations to increase the
wages of labor about 25 per cent, and will
give fair return on capital and reduce
prices to consumers.
How honest labor can oppose what Is so
evident to its interest 1 cannot under
stand. No real labor is dispensed with.
The now useless army of drummers and
advertising agents must look to other
means Of support. They cannot live longer
by their wits, but must join the active la
Dor of the country.
THE saving and Industrious Will invest
their savings in the stocks of the company
for which they labor, and In time become
their own masters, which condition Is
the nearest to cooperative working, the

tried. as a settlement was brought about
by mutual friends of the contending par
ties.
Van Allen had few sympathiZers in this
trouble. as each of his friends had thought
for the sanctity of his own home From
that time Van Alen-the same Van Allen
who is the father of Astor grandchildren,
with the management OF vast estate, and
whom Grover Cleveland, at the risk of seri-
Gus rupture with his party, tried to send to
Rome as the representative of this Govern
ment-lost caste with the ultra-fashion-

his ostentatious hospitality and partook
of the elaborate dinner that followed the
salacious Colt affair, the women we're
chary about appearing in public with Van
Allen. Not once from the time of that cpl
sode has a woman appeared on Van Allen
coach, it is said. This has been felt keenly
by Van Allen, and his love for Newport
grew gradually cool. until, despairing OF
being able to reinstate himself in the swell
society of the place, which he once ruled
supreme. he has left the city forever with
his malediction.
Van Aliens experience will do much to
correct erroneous Impressions, all too wide

That the upper crust of American so

Van Allen is now preparing to perma-

magnificent mansion, and where the ele-

motive was revealed. The fact is. that
Van Allen has been the victim of social os-

ago, when he was sued by a social confrere
for alternating the affections OF his wife
This was the suit brought against him

President Dolan called mass meeting of

were passed that no more of these cars
would be loaded. A similar meeting will
be held at Monongahela tonight. The gen.

this will force victory for the miners.

held next Saturday night, when an or
