anti-pass agreement is the Delaware.

of this road w H. Truesdale. a year
ago was the most earnest advocate of
the abolition of exchange passes and

THERE'S TRUTH IN 1T.
Santa Fe-Rock Island Deal for Join t
Use of New Mexico Tracks.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Reports that there
is deal pending between the Santa Fe
and the Rock Island regarding the joint
use of certain tracks in New Mexico
were confirmed today by an official of
one of the roads. He stated, however.
that nothing had come of the negotia-
tions and that possibly nothing of a
definite character would result Should
an agreement be reached, however. the
result is likely to give the Rock Island
a Pacific outlet by the way of the new
line building northwest from Tucum-
carl to Colorado. where a connection
would be made with the Santa Fe. On
the other hand the Santa F'e would ger
valuable concessions which would
shorten some of its lines into the south
west. On both sides the proposed
agreement would abrogate the necessity
of building several lines according to
present plans.

Waterbury, Conn, Burned.

Waterbury, Conn.,, Feb. 4.-The most
disastrous fire in the history OF wa
terbury has occurred. A large section
OF the business part Of the city was
wiped out. Shortly after midnight the
fire, which had seemed to be nearly
under control, broke out with renewed
energy. A conservative estimate
places the loss at 100000. A special
train with fire engine from New Ha-
ven went to the scene.
The manner in which the flames
leaped from one building to another
and even across the street terrified the
spectators, for it seemed that no earth
ly power could check them. Several
times it looked as if the firemen had
| finally confined the blaze to certain
district, but each time cry Of dis
appointment and warning went up
| from the thousands of threats and the
fire was seen to be breaking out else
where.
The fire originated in the upholstery
department of the third floor of the
store of the Reid. & Hughes Drygoods
company, at 10S-112 Bank street. The
origin is not known. The fire was not
discovered until it had gained tremen-
dous Roadway.
| The fire started in a drizzling rain,
with rapidly rising wind and with
with rapidly rising wind and with
snow. The wind was at first shifting,
but it settled toward the east and car.
ried destruction with it.
In the panic caused by the fire there
were many rumors Of accidents and
fatalities, but at the Waterbury hospi
tai at l o'clock it was said that NO
accidents or deaths had been reported
there.
At that hour the fire was still burn.
ing, though, as viewed from the hos
pital, which is on an eminence com
handing the city, it appeared that its
vigor was abating.
1t is reported that numerous thieves
were operating in houses where they
found the owners absent.
In the first district thousand of PEG
pie packed the flooded streets. Many
of them fell on the icy pavement
and many were injured by being tram
pied on by the surging crowds.
Stores, houses and churches outside
o. the fire district were thrown oper
for the reception of the housholG

taken from the imperiled buildings.
