ney William E. Ambrose, today instituted

RUMORS OF A STRIKE.
Some Excitement Caused Without
Foundation in Fact.

Rumors were rife today that there had
been big strike of the Italian laborers en-
ployed by the contractors engaged in ele-
waiting the railroad tracks and other work
between the old ''Y" and the new "Y'' on
delaware avenue to list street northwest
ana "a street northeast, contiguous to the
new union railroad station. These reports
reached the police of the ninth precinct
and one of them stated that a large BODY of
Italian strikers had been seen parading the
streets in the vicinity of the station
When the locality was visited by Star
reporter this afternoon there were no signs
or a strike or other disorder Inquiry at
the office of the contractors, McDermott.
McMuIlen d Hoffman, on Delaware avenue
northeast, developed the fact that there
mad been a sort of parade of about $50 Ital-
ian 1aborers this forenoon. In explainine
this apparent demonstration one of the SUI
perlntendentS said:
THE Pennsylvania railroad constructors
over in the southwest and southeast sec
tons of the city had need of an additional
force OF laborers. and we simply loaned
them about 100 Italians to help them over
the emergency. The men assembled about
one of our Office buildings before marching
to their new place of employment, and
that no doubt led to the reports that a big
strike was on.
mo, SIR concluded the superintendent,
there has been no strike and there will
be none. Our Italian laborers, and all
others as well, are very glad to have en-
pIoyment in these blzzardy times, and we
couldn't drive them away from their work
with club if we so desired
Speaking of the progress of the work on
and about the new union depot, the super
intenGent said steel work is being put in
position for the upper stories of the struc-
ture, and masonry work is being done ev-
cry second day. During the winter there
have been as high as 1,400 men at work on
all the improvements.
The cold weather has on several occa-
sions interfered with the masonry con-
struction, but, generally speaking, the
work has progressed nicely. notwithstand-
ing the severe atmospheric conditions. 1t
is the expectation that when the ather
opens up and the sun shines brightly again
a large increase will be made in the num-
Der of men employed, and the work on
the station and its approaches will be
pushed with vigor.

Fire Wednesday Morning.

The building in the rear of Farmers X Merchants Bank, oe- cupied by the livery barn of T. NJ. HinSon and Lee Sanders was destroyed by fire Wednesday morning at , o'clock. When first discovered the flames were breaking through the upper DOT tion of the building. The horses were all rescued, but six or eight buggies, ten or twelve sets of harness, two or three saddles, about fifty sack of chops, car of hay, besides oats, fodder, etc. were destroyed.
 Hinson X Sanders loss will be about S1 900, with S7OO insurance.
 The building belonged to K. E. Renner, and his loss was about $500, with no insurance.
 It was only by the great est effort that the residence of J. C. Cagle, located just across the alley, was saved. The end next to the burning building was in flames at one time but were extinguished. The build ing was damaged considerably. Had there been any breeze the probabilities are the flames would have spread to other buildings and there is no telling where the fire would have stopped.
 The origin of the fire is un- known. Hinson & Sanders will resume business as soon as they can get another building.
