Destructive Fire.

e>SSsA esSsAsS
Tuesday morning about 2 o'clock the
residents Of this city we're awakened by
the ringing of the fire bell. A tire was
discovered in the rear of Atkins & Cha
pel's furniture store and before the fire
company could arrive on the scene the
store occupied by Atkins u Chapel,
and the Malven bowling alleys were q
mass of flames. The fire quickly spread
to the blacksmith shop of w. j. Burk
and the harness shop of Geo. Simmons.
1t was only by the excellent work of the
fire department that the livery barn Of
Stanberry Il Dutton and the surround
ing property were not destroyed. The
livery barn was on fire repeatedly and
at times it looked as if the whole south
section of town would be swept away
The strong breeze which was blowing
at the time made the fire harder to con-
troll and the fire company is deserving
of great credit for their admirable work.
The store building occupied by At
kins & Chapel and their entire stock,
the Malven bowlings alleys and Geo.
Simmons harness shop were entirely
destroyed.
Following is the list of losses as near
ly as can be sscertained by us:
Wolcott Bros. store building. bowl'g alley. $4,000
Geo. Simmons saddlery and part Of stock ESQ
Roy Cooley. damage to blacksmith shop. 15O
N. p. Malven, bowling alley fixtures ....... 750
Atkins & Chapel, stock Of furniture....... 5000
Atkins & Chapel carried insurance
to the amount of $1,000 and Wolcott
Bros property was insured for $500, the
other losses were uninsured.

HINT TO ROCK ISLAND.
New York Exchange, 1t Is Said OBJ

New York Exchange, 1t is Said OBJ
jccts to Some Bond Issue Features.
New York. Aug. 16.-The Rock Is
land railroad bond plan is likely to be
materially altered before it is put in
operation. No application has yet been
made to list the new securities, which
are to be changed for the present Sc
curities of the Rock Island The in
formation is obtained from unusually
reliable authority that members of the
listing committee of the New York
stock exchange, as we'll as the mem
bers of the board of governors, have
informally discussed the proposition,
and have intimated to the Rock Island
officials that certain changes will be
necessary before the securities will be
admitted to the exchange. There are
two particular points which it Is said
have met with the disapproval of the
members of the listing committee of
the stock exchange. One is the pro
vision under which majority of the
board of directors Is elected by the
holders of the preferred stock, and the
other is the provision Of the charter
which permits the directors to trade
in the various securities for the ac-
count of the company. Both of these
provisions are looked upon as estab-
fishing a somewhat dangerous prece-
dent, as viewed from a market stand
point
