NOT MUCH DAMAGE.
Fire Breaks Out in Store Room of the
Union Depot.

Nelson Cray discovered fire in the
union d. pot at about o'clock Sunday
evening and gave still alarm that
brought out the fire dep 4rtmen The
depot was locked, but one of the win
dows of the ladies' waiting room was
forced up, br aking the catch. The fire
was found to be in the small closet or
store room beside the ticket Office,
where articles of various kinds are
stored. A small hole had been burned
through the floor, and the apartment
was well smoked up, but the lack of
air had prevented the fire from spread
ing rapidly and it was quickly extin-
gulshed. The damage is inconsider-
able. The origin of the fire is a mys-
terry. but is thought that it may have
been started by mouse knawing at a
match,

was called to the residence of DR.. 1 D.

The Opponents of the Bill

to the number of about 10 had assem-
bled at Mr.. McCall's house and deter
mined upon the stand they would take
upon the bill in conference. Propo-
sitions pro and con were made by both
sides but none of those made on behalf
of the advocates of the pending bill
amounted to an abandonment of the
principle of the issue-the right of the
United States to levy tax on imports
from Porto Rico-and as it's opponents
consider this fundamental objection to
the measure. no agreement could be
reached. 1t was stated after the con-
ference of members opposed to the bill
that both sides were practically in the
same position as they had been before
the meeting, and that substantially no
progress had been made.
