The Y. M. @. "A. building and Nc
Millan's. 1t virtually stopped
up the street 1t had hardly been
piled there when the rain began.
A Gordon of police was thrown
around it, but even this could
not keep down the steaIage abso
lutely. The electric lights dis.
appeared before II O'Clock and
the officers were left in total dark
| ness save for the occasional glare
from the ruins. Yesterday morn
ing bright and early men and
wagons appeared on the scene
and in short time the valuable
stock, which could so easily be
uined by water, was removed to
storeroom on Assembly street
for storage. A great deal of the
most costly stuff had been ruined
by the rain before it could be
moved.
Capt. w. ID. Startling, who had
moved out his stock in anticipa
ton of the fire striking his place,
had everything back in its place
by daylight and things were run
ming along as usual.
Most of the trunks, clocks,
valises and other effects saved
from the Jerome were taken
across the street to Dr. McMil-
lan's drug store. DIR. Mcmillan
not only threw his store open to
the sufferers, but he and his as
sistants dressed the wounds Of all
injured during the fire, most Of
whom were named yesterday. 1t
was not until yesterday afternoon
that many of the guests of the
hotel succeeded in finding their
valises and trunks. Most Of
them were perfectly safe in DR.
McMlllan's place. a few travel.
ing men who had left their bag
gage at the hotel while they were
making short trips over the State
were busy telegraphing here yes
terday trying to find their pos
sessions.
The first of the business men
who were burned out to secure
another place and announce that
he would make q fresh start at
the earliest possible moment was
the proprietor of the King Racket
store. He yesterday rented the
present Office Of the Wright's
hotel building and will order an
entirely new stock at once. He
hopes to have his store open by
February first.
The Farmers and Mechanice
bank people are not over happy
that the small buildings they own
north OF the alley were saved.
They propose to begin, just as
soon as Messrs. Whaley IL Shand
can complete the design Of their
building and the working plane,
to commence building operations.
They will tear down the present
building and propose to replace
them with a handsome structure.
The tenants will all have to vacate
on the first of the new year.
Yesterday there were a num-
Der Of electric llnemen working
on the poles adjoining the build
ings burned. They had difficult
task to straiRhten out the wires
and recOnneCt them. Many of
them were burned and twisted.
1t ia a noteworthy fact, however,
that though the cable Of the Bell
company Lost ItR supports, it
merely sagged, but did not melt
and give way. AS result Of the
fire many telephones were cut
out below the hotel. The line
man had to work in the d0wn
pour Of rain yesterday, but they
did not seem to mind 1t.
During the day hundreds Of
people came down to view the
ruins, notwithstanding the rain.
The few remaing walls were not
pulled down yesterday. The ob-
server standing on Main street
could see all the way through 10

WHEAT CROP IS MOVING.
Since July Is, Over l3,OOO, 900 Bushels Have
Left the State.

Business on the Kansas railroads is
on the boom, and the boom is growing
every day. Such "a rush for rolling
stock in which TO move the huge
wheat crop raised this summer, was
never before known.
Every available piece OF rolling
stock belonging to the Kansas roads
has been pressed into service. Not
only this, but the roads have called
on their eastern friends, aud borrowed
all the rolling stock TO spare. The
various shops Of the Kansas roads are
working full time in the endeavOr TO
keep the rolling stock and motive
power in shape.
The immense wheat crop raised 10
Kansas this year will reach the enor-
nous figure of S5,O0O,0OO bushels.
Secretary Coburn's figures three
weeks ago were 7S,OO0,OOO bushels.
Later returns have increased this
The wheat crop of Oklahoma is esti,
mated at 6O,OOO,00O bushels. All this
wheat must be moved and the Kansas
railroads have the job.
More loaded cars OF wheat were put
into Argentine last week 0y the Santa
Fe than ever before in the history OF
the road. On Tuesday morning, 45C
cars were moved out of Emporia anC
Ottawa into Argentine, in four hours
and 25 minutes. At the beginning OF
business on Friday morning there
we're 300 loaded cars standing in the
EmpOria yards, waiting to be moved
and nearly 400 more in Kansas City
At other points along the road there
were prOportionate number, and as
fast as these cars are taken away
there are Others ready to come in tC

MACY'S HOUSE BURNED.

The big two story residence Of R. c.
Macy on North A street, known as
the John A. Murray property, was
destroyed by fire Tuesday night
between 10 aud IL o'clock. rhe origin
OF the IRE is doubtful, but it was
probably due to lamp explosion.
All OF the family were in bed at the
time, and barely escaped with moth

Macy was the last to retire. After
concluding bath in one OF the rooms
down stairs he blew out the lamp and
retired. He thinks that probably a
blue flame was left smoulderlng in
the wick, which later caused an ex-
plosion. When the family were
awakened the house was aflame down
stairs and their escape 10 that direc-
tion cut of. They were rescued by
Ivan D. Rogers, who placed a ladder to
the roof OF the one story addition at
the rear OF the house. All OF the
family got safely out Of the burning
house by this means. Mrs. Macy,
who is an invalid, was rescued with
some difficulty, and is suffering some.

The Situation Unchanged,

Miss Maggie Barndollar still leads
in the contest for Jubilee queen. She
received 10 additional votes today,
bringing Iere total vote up TO 34S.
Miss Olive Splitter received 10 more
votes today, and Miss Maude Hitch
cock received 10 also.
No late reports have been received of
the contest 10 outside towns. The
story that Miss Olin Chaffin of
Caldwell, was in the race with 600
votes is denied. 1t is admitted, how
ever, that Caldwell will back her for
the contest, and that subscriptions
are being received at Caldwell to buy
votes for her. In the light Of these
conflicting reports she cannot be said
to be candidate until her name is
formally entered in the contest.

NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS AT THE
SCENE OF THE ANTHRA-
CITE STRIKE
MITCHELL IS NON -coMM1TrAL
Had Nothing to Say as to Any over
lures Looking to a Settlement
of the Great Mine
Tfe-Up.

IIAzLETON, Pa, Sept. 29-"We are
closing the mines and awaiting develop
ments, was all that President Mitchell,
of the United Mine Workers would say,
when asked if he had received any in
formation from New York or elsewhere.
OF the efforts of the operators to settle
the strike. Although he diplomaticliy
eNaded the question it Is generally re-
garded here that President Mitchell Is
kept advised of the progress of the ne
getiauens, If the 10 per cent advance
mas been finally agreed upon, 1t has not
SO lar as can be leaned been offered to
any OF the workers of the anthracite
region. Taking Mr. MitchelPs statement
that 10 per cent advance would not be
satisfactory, as an indication that it
would not be accepted by the United
Mine Workers, 1t Is thought in some
quarters here that there would be break
in the ranks of the strikers, which it
would be difficult to stop should
tho offer to their employees be
made by the operators. On the
other hand, President Mitchell and
his colleagues are positive in asserting
their belief that the men now idle will
not Waver and they would stand to-
gether until. the joint convention of three
anthracite districts called the strike off.
The Lehigh Valley was about as quiet
today as it possibly could be. Rain is
falling here tonight, The same number
of collieries were working in operation
yesterday. Both sides to the contest
claim saecessions to their ranks in the
Hazleton district.
President Mitchell said to a reporter
for the associated Press today that his
telegram to the soft coal region of Gem
trail Pennsylvania, requesting mine work
ers there not to load coal cars which
are destined for the anthracite coal
market has had the desired effect.
