THE trouble with the Hon. Gus
Enloe of the Eighth Congress
ional district is that he is a back
number and don't know Ii. His
editorial career was neither brilliant
nor satisfactory, and when he al
lowed Stahlman to produce those
unpaid due bills on him, he was done
for. Tennessee does not need Con-
gressmen who are so careless Of
their promises to pay; especia lily
when their promises are made to
railroad Lobbyists.

York city.
Troy, n. Y, Jan. 24.-No cars are run
ming on any OF the various lines of the
United Traction company in Troy. Since
the inauguration of the strike of the CON
ductors and motormen, Sunday morning.
everything has been quiet.
BY a unanimous vote of the common
council of Troy an ordinance was adopt
ed calling upon the company to run its
cars within 4S hours or the franchises of
the several lines would be revoked The
trustees Of Lansingburg also passed a
resolution calling upon the company to
resume operations.
The meeting of the Troy common coun-
ell was prolonged and attended with ex-
citing debates. A committee was ap-
pointed that went to Albany, with repre-
sentatives of the strikers. to hold anoth-
er conference with the state board Of ar
bitration, with Il view of settling the
trouble. The railroad will also have rep
rcsentativcs mt the meeting.
The suggestions growing ont of the
state board of mediation and arbitration
conference in Albany have been reported
back to the employees, who insist thar
the agreement drawn mp and submitted
by them shall be signed by the officers of
the United Traction company.
The company agreed at its conference
not to reduce wages. but to reduce the
number of hours. This is taken to mean
that the men will be paid So for day Of
ten hours if they return to work. The
propositions that the railroad recognize
the mems labor union and permit them
to ride free when not in uniform will lie
presented TO the directors of the COM
pany for action.

New Years is the national pay day

great day for the pawnbrokers. Their
shops are crowded with people who
want to redeem their best clothes he
fore the new year. There nre crowds
also who want to pawn other things
in order to get money to pny THEN
debts. Pawnbrokers receive high rates
of interest. In which they are protect

The Chinese paint the whole country

Flames In Dawson City Cause Loss
of About .s1OO,OOO.
Seattle, WASH, Jan. 24.-Advices from
the north confirm the report of big fire
in Dawson. The fire occurred on Jan. IL
and destroyed buildings and merchandise
to the value of about 100000. The
news was sent by telegraph from Daw-
son to Skaguay. 1t is supposed that the
fire was caused by defective tiue.
The flames burned about 400 feet along
the principal street, laying in ashes many
of the most substantial structures in the
klondike metropolis. Among the build
ings destroyed were many saloons, res
taurants, opera house, grocery and gen
eral store and branch of the Canadian
Bank of Commerce. There was no loss
of life. but very little of the contents Of
the buildings was saved. All the burn
ed buildings faced the Klondike river.
On the opposite side OF the street and
nearer the water front are located the
big warehouses OF the transportation
companies. They were. not burned.
Judge Davis, Montana man, sustain
ed the loss of the best log block in Daw-
son. It's original cost was $4,000. There
were, however, frame structures erected
ut an even greater cost. Nothing ap-
preaching a reliable estimate as to indi-
vidual losses can be obtained. Three of
the most handsomely furnished and heav-
lily stocked saloons in tine city were burn
ed. 1t is said that the opera house prop
erty was worth $4,000. as Klondike
prices go. 1t was comparatively new
building. erected upon the ruins of the
old opera house, which was burned is
months ago.

How u New York Woman Lost Some

New York, Jan. 24.-The Commercial

Captain McClusky of the detezsYe bu-
reau is working ON a complaint niade to
him by Mrs. Martha Morehead, sister of
Robert A. Greacen, living at One Hun
dred and Thirty-first street, near Seventh
avenue, who said that she had been the
victim of swindling scheme through
which she had lost possession of some
Harlem property.
Not long ago, according to her story,
she answered newspaper advertise
ment which offered cash for up town lots.
a man purporting to be the author of the
advertisement called upon her and OBJ
talned information concerning her prop
erty. He expressea-s much satisfaction
with it that he offered to buy and even
paid $50 on the spot to close the bargain
lie was man OF such suave and agree
able presence and appeared so anxious to
save the woman all possible trouble in
the transfer Of the property that when he
offered to take it upon himself to seclife
the abstract of title she consented and
gave him her deeds.
She never saw the man again. Be
coming alarmed when he did not return
and suspicious that there had been some
deception in the matter, She began an in
vcstigation. Her fears were realized
With her papers in his possession the
swindlcr had gone to a real estate broker
and asked for the loan Of $1,000 on the
properly. He was accompanied by Il wo-
man who peisonatcd the owner of the
lots, and, as all seemed regular and the
security was good. the broker said he
would close the bargain. The next step
was visit to a notary public. who certi-
fed that the holder of the deeds was the
person who owned the property and he
certified that the signature of t.e woman
was that of Mrs. Morrhead"
The notary public before whom the
sham transaction took place is likely to
suffer serious consequences for his part
i'll it. His celtitcation to the identity of
the bogus woman may lead to criminal
prosecution in the case.
