Cumberland. Md, Nov. 1S.-The
mining town Of Thomas. on the West
Virginia Central and Pittsburg rail
way. was almost wiped out by fire,
which started at 2 a. m. under Gers

consumed. The Catholic church,
opera house, Gersberger's and Rey'
nolds' hotel. the water station and sew,
eral houses belonging to the Davis
Coal and Coke company were de-
stroyed. ~
The town was supported mainly by
the Davis Coal and Coke company and
the West Virginia railroad. The latter
has given the residents all the box
cars at Thomas to shelter the home
less. The east end OF the town was
destroyed. including the four principal
business blocks. Many travelling men

Burglars Set Town on Fire.

The business portion CT Clifford was
almost entirely destroyed by fire. The
loss will be about $4,000, the insur-
ance being in the neighborhood of
$21, 900. The fire was probably started
by burglars in their attempt to blow a
safe in butcher shop. They sue
ceeded in forcing the door off, but
were frightened away before getting
the small amount that was in the SAFE
They left some of their tools. The
flames, famed by a stiff northwest
wind, spread rapidly and the main
business houses of the place were
soon in flames.

More Men Required.

One of the most noticeable results
OF the advent of cold weather is the
increased number of trains that are
being run on the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific to handle the heavy
freight traffic that always comes at
this season of the year. It is stated
by railroad men that fifth more
freight trains are needed now to han
die the same volume of freight than
were needed during the warm weather
This makes work for more train crews
and helps business generally.

Incendiarism SUSPECTED.

The Fargo Packing company's plant
and the Great Northern freight sheds
were destroyed by fire, entailing loss
of 100000. The department was first
called to the packing company's plant.
During the progress of this blaze a
second call was turned in from the
Great Northern freight depot, on the
north side of town. The fact that both
fires were in progress on the opposite
sides of the city at the same time led
many to believe the flames were of
incendiary origin for the purpose Of
burglary.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-The Daily News
says:
The Union Pacific will control the
st. Paul. This news is not to be re-
garded official, though it was impaired
by one closely related to the Hartman
syndicate. Negotiations to the end in
dicated, it is said, have been concluded
and that the Hartman party will take
charge of the St. Paul line some time
before next January. Details of the
deal are not ascertainable, but it was
intimated that the Union Pacific peo-
pie had agreed to pay 5000 share for
a majority of the common issue of the
st. Paul company.
If the above information be con-
firmed-it is submitted with due reser-

regarded as something apart from the
Northern Pacific compact although it
comedies in a general way with the
community of interest plan and 1t
solves the question as to where the
St. Paul will find place in the big
scheme of bringing the principal roads
