FIRE AT PULASKI.
A Number of Buildings DESTROYED
This Morning.
Loss Estimated at About $4,000
Origin of the Fire a
Mystery.
Special to the HERALD.


Pulaski, June l9.-Pulaski was Wis
tied by most destructive fire early this
morning, which laid in ashes property
on the West side of the square, valued
at bout $4,000.
The fire was discovered about /
o'clock a. m. in the ware house of Young
q Aymett, and spread with great rapid
ity. The warehouses of Young &
Aymett and Stacey & Yancey, the
Knights of Pythias Hall, and Turner's
family grocery and tinware shop were
all destroyed. The law Office of Flour
noy Rivers was bIrned, and the Airing
ton Hotel was damaged in the rear.
The residence of DR. John T. Steel
was burned to the ground, and most of
the contents destroyed.
Both the Episcopal and Cumberland
Presbyterian churches were more or less
damaged, and the knights of Pythias
lodge lost nearly all of their parapherpa-
liza and furniture. The two store houses
of j. T. Oakes also suffered severely.
Fix head of horses and 1,200 barrels of
corn, belonging to Young Il Aymett and
Stacey Il Yancy, went up in smoke.
Owing to the excitement and confu-
sion caused by the fire, it is impossible
to form correct estimate of the losses,
but it is thought that the total loss will
not fall far short of $4,000. 1t is un-
derstood that most of the parties carried
light insurance.
The origin of the fire cannot be ex-
planned.

A WOMAN OF NERVE.
An Aged Lady Awed a Large Crowd
of st. Louis Street Car Strikers
With a Revolver.

st. Louis, June 16.-It has develop
ed that Mrs. Tilda Linnartz, &C years
old, of 6916 Manchester avenue, awed
about 200 persons who had threaten
ed her with violence because she rode
on car of the st. Louis Transit Co.
during the troublous time in the
South End.
Mrs. Linnartz boarded Broadway
car carrying a small satchel which
contained a loaded revolver. Despite
warning she alighted at Miller street,
and was soon surrounded by large
crowd of women and young men.
Without hesitation the aged woman
drew the revolver from the satchel
and ordered the crowd back. Then
she calmly declared she would make
trouble for the first one who abused
her.
The crowd promptly needed her
caution and allowed her to pass. She
then transacted some business in the
neighborhood and took car back to
the heart of the city.
ot. LOUIS, June lo.-By practlcally
unanimous vote the local union of
street railway employees of the Tran
sit company out on strike decided Fri
day to submit the matter of rein
statement of the employees to arbi-
tration.
BY the same vote the executive
! committee of the union was empow-
cred to negotiate with the company
and make a final settlement without
referring the matter back to the
union. This action was brought about
through the influence of Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, who arrived in St.
Louis Thursday night and was present
at the mass-meeting, which was held
! at the West End Coliseum Friday.

BRITISH TAKE KLERKsDoRF.
Cronje, Who Surrendered the Place.
is Son of the Famous Gen.
CrOnje, Now n Prisoner.

London, June 16.-By the peaceful
occupation of Klerksdorp, announced
by Lord Roberts, the British gained a
strategic position of some import
ance as the town is not only the ter
minus of another railroad to johann
nesburg, but it is within easy reach
of the Kroonstad-V d-Vierfontein rail-
road.
The Cronje who surrendered the
place is son of the famous Gen.
Cronje, now prisoner at st. Helena.
The son was prominent during the
siege of Mafeking.
Apart from the fact that Lord Rob-
erts' dispatch comes direct from Pre-
toria showing the telegraph line is
reopened the other only point of in
terest is the fact that the Beers
whom Gen. Methuen was reported to
have so utterly routed have suffici-
emily recuperated to attack a con-
struction train.
A dispatch from Kimberly reports
the capture of the well-known pugi-
list Jim" Holloway. who was an adj
jutant in the Boer army and who
blew up the bridge at Fourteen
Streams. Holloway was among q

THE CENSUS.
Result of the EnumeratOrs' Work
VIII Be Made known.

Washington, June 10.-Director
Merriam, of the census bureau, said
Monday that the results of the work
of the enumerators could not be
known for at least two weeks, and it
might be n month before the first
bulletin is issued. He stated positive
ly that the only news in regard to the
count would be made public through
bulletins issued at the census office.
The enumerators are strictly forbid
den by law to give out information
of any kind in regard to their work,
and if they violate this law they will
be heavily fined. The director said
that in view of this condition any
figures presented as the work of the
enumerators other than those con-
tanned in the bulletins of the census
office would b mere speculation and
could be of no value. The count of
the population in the large cities is
practically completed, and about 49,
600 enumeration districts have been
reported as finished. The number of
cards received from enumerators up
to date is about $4,000. 1t will re-
quire at least five days to check up
the work of the enumerators in order
to ascertain the payments due them.
This will be done in the various cities.
When this is finished the cards will
be forwarded to Washington, where
the actual tabulation of returns will
be begun. 1t is probable that Wash
ington, d. c., will be the first city
whose population will be announced
and following this probably will come
Cincinnati. Director Merriam said
Monday that the work was progress
ing very satisfactorily.

PLAYED WILLIAM TELL.

Badly Wounded.

st. Louis, June 17.-Robert Hoesle,
twelve years old, and Gordon Col
lier, aged nine, played William Tell
here with almost fatal results. The
boys got revolver and for awhile
amused themselves flourishing the
weapon in wild west fashion. Then
they remembered the story of VIM.
Tell and Hoesle agreed to represent
young Tell, using part of a brick in
stead of the apple. Collier fired at
the brick, but hit his companion in
the cheek, inficting a wound which
is serious
