THE NEWEST UNION.
The Retail Clerks Protective Asso-
citation, No. 116.

The latest up-to-date union was
formed in this city on Tuesday even
ing and from the large number OF
enrollments and the enthusiasm that
characterized the organization 1t can
safely predicted that IL will soon be-
come a power. 1t is made mp almost
wholly,o of laborers in mercantile ppr-
suits, the men and women clerks of the
city, AMI while none can say that the
clerks of this city are an especially
hard worked class, 1t can also be said
that there are a number of small
reforms that can be made which will
innict no losses on their employers and
vet at the same time will tend &c I'M
prove their portion of the day, and
among other benefits specially worth
working for will be the early closing
movement.
About forty clerks attended the ini-
tial meeting of the new organization
in st. Rose hall, which was called for
the purpose of perfecting a permanent
union and electing officers thereof. A
committee from the Central Labor
union, composed OF John Hermes,
Thomas Monaghan, Bennett j. Pala-
mountain and James Fluellen, con-
ducted the. meeting, and Mr. Hermes,
who is the authorized local organizer,
instituted the union.
No definite plan has yet been out
lined as to the probable future work
Of the organization. The union expects
to carry on its work in a conservative
way and expects to receive the cor
dial support and sympathy of the Mer-
chants association. A working card
will be issued to each member. The
union will amalgamate with the Amer
icant Federation of Labor.
The following officers We're elected;
Chief clerk, David L. Walsh; assistant
chief clerk, Elmer Brokenshire; &C.
countant, Miss Mary McGarry; pro-
thonotary. Frank y. Kelly; cashier
Frank Boylan; floor walker, Harry
Hitler; guide, Fred Hauenstein; trus.
tees for six months, Miss Emma
Swartz; for one year, NJ. j. Horan; fol
eighteen months, Miss Tillie Murphy.

bander. Yesterday afternoon she left
the mill d little before o'clock, hav-
fng finished her work for the day, and
started homeward, taking the railroad
track for her path, as this route short
ems the distance somewhat. 1t is SAID
that the train was a little late, and so
she did not use caution in watching for
it. She had proceeded as far as the
curve this side OF Simpson when the
train came whirling along. struck her
ihd threw her some distance. The
train was brought to standstill al
most Immediately and the crew hast
ened back to where she lay. She was
then unconscious, with blood flowing
from her mouth. She was put on the
train and carried to the passenger sta
ton In Dundaff street and taken into
the station.

When he arrived he saw at once that
It was a most critical case, and he put
the girl into his sleigh and took her
10 the Emergency hospital. ON exam
ination It was found that one leg was
broken above the knee, both elbows
badly injured, back terribly bruised
and that she had sustained internal
injuries.
How severe these latter are could
not be determined last evening, owing
to the extremely weak and critical con-
dition of the patient. If possible an
examination will be made today. 1t
was also impossible to administer an
anesthetic to perform an operation,
owing to the shock the system had
sustained.
This is the third accident that has
happened to silk mill employees In rs

TWO HOUSES DESTROYED.
Early Morning Fire Does Great DAM
age-Firemen Nearly Frozen.

Fire broke out in the dwelling house
of Nathan Eilanski at $3.50 o'clock
yesterday morning, and before the
flames We're gotten under control they
had ravished the house and one adj
joining. occupied by James McDon-
ough. These two houses were on Cor
don avenue. away at the extreme end
Of the city. and the early morning
hour, combined with the furious ley
gale that was raging, were impedi-
mcnts to a prompt getting ut work
by the firemen.
Jacob Kilanski, who occupied the
basement of his fathers house, was
awakened by the violent coughing of
his baby, and found the room filled
with dense smoke. There was scarce
ly time to snatch some clothes and
get out before the interior of the
dwelling was furnace. An alarm
was turned in from box 5S near the
Lookout.
The Columbias at once responded,
but by the time they could go the long
distance the Kilansk house was be-
yond saving, and the flames were eat
ing their way into the home of James
McDonough. Only one hyirant was
available. so the benumbed firemcn
turned all their attention on the latter
dwelling and others near by, which
were in grave peril. They were sue
cessful in checking the flames there.
The furniture and fittings of both
houses were destroyed. The Kilanskis
| were insured for $1,000. but Mr.. Me-
Donough carried none.
One of the Kilanskis' boarders was
quite badly cut Ivy jumping through
the window of the second floor, his
arms getting gashed by the glass.
| 1t was n terrible experience for the
firemen. Roth the Mitchells and the
Columbias went out. The zero wealth
er offered extra Inducements TO remain
in bed. but the volunteers rcspondel
nohly to their duty. The intense cold
henumbed them, sheets Of ice formed
on their coaKcd clothing and hands
and 1t was hard for them to keer
