NORTHWESTERN TO WITHDRAW
Is One of Two Roads That want No
More "Presidcnts' Agreement"
In Theirs.

CHICAGO, March 1.-Two OF the most
important western roads have given the re-
qulred thirty days notice or withdra wal
from the presidents agreement which pro-
vides for the pooling of the business through
district committees. One of the roads Is
the Chicago & Northwestern. The name OF
the other is KEEP secret for the present.
These roads, it is said. have given notice
also that they will not pay any portion of
the committees expenses. The action is
said to refer especially to the st. Paul and
Chicago and the Kansas City and Chicago
committees.
The failure of these district pools or com
mittee to bring about the promised main
tenance of rates is given as the cause for
the withdrawal of the two roads. II is
understood that the advisory committee of
finance, of which r, II. Hartman Is the
chairman, hereafter will see that no more
secret rate-cutting is practiced

CALLAWAY, Neb., March 15.-(Special
Telegram. The most destructive fire in
the history of this town occurred at 1870
this morning, destroying an entire block
of the principal business buildings. s. ID.
Ewing owner Of the Grand Pacific hotel,
was preparing to retire when he discovered
fire In the interior OF Osgood's restaurant
on the south side of Kimball street He
Immediately gave the alarm but the fire
had gained such headway ii was impos-
sible to check II. The town, being with
out any means OF fire protection, had not
water enough to supply a small bucket
brigade. The flames soon burst through
the sides Of the building and ignited the
Palace drug store on the west and Greer S
jewelry store on the east and II was seen
that the entire block of wooden buildings
was doomed. The efforts OF the citizens
were spent in taking goods out of the stores
and In wetting down the roofs and fronts
OF the buildings on the opposite side of
the street. The air was very calm, yet
the flames spread on each side with great
rapidity, consuming the Bank OF Galloway
and Hopkins grocery store on the west cnd
OF the block aud in succession on the east
end, Moran's department store, with its
entire stock OF goods, Shupps meat mar
"V'' 'u'ii SloTt anu lne BTll-
tan hotel, which stood on the corner.
The hotel. the Bank OF Galloway and
Shupps buildings were without insurance.
but the goods and fixtures were all removed
before the fire reached them. The Bank
OF Callaway contained large ireproof
vault, which was used as a safe deposit
by most OF the business men and which
stands intact. Morans double building and
stock were insured for sll 500, and the
Palace drug store building for 81 900, but
there was no insurance on the stock. The
restaurant where the fire started had $500
insurance on the building and $40O on the
stock, and the Hopkins building was In
sured for $3.50, stock all saved The loss
on the buildings burned is estimated at
$4,000 insured for $500. The value of
goods consumed is estimated at about $50, -
900, with about $4,000 insurance The
hre Is supposed to have originated in a
defective chimney of the restaurant.

CLEAN ED OUT,

Last Saturday morning the miners
succeeded in cleaning the bottom of the
California mine deep shaft of all the
debris and timbers. That morning Mr.
Prouse, the underground foreman, took
samples of ore from various places in the
bottom Of the shaft. On Monday morn
ing OF this week miners were put at
work in the 1900 and 2,loo-foot levels in
cleaning them up preparatory to extend
ing them past their present headings
each way from the shaft. 1t is not de
termined at present as to whether the
shaft will be continued on down beyond
its present depth, that of 2,230 feet or
not. That is matter that will be de-
termined upon by the Stockholders of
the Patch Mining. company, who are
operating the property, at future
meeting. 1t is likely that the results of
the assays from the ore samples taken
out last Saturday will positively de.
termine the matter of the resumption OF
sinking. The last returns from the ore
crushed from the bottom of the shaft by
Mr.. Alfred Rickard, under whose man.
agement the last sinking was done, were
such, however, MS to warrant the present
company in sinking TO a greater depth.
