THE BURLINGTON HOSPITAL.
Large Addition to be Built and
Nurses Home Added.
Aug. %,

Burlington Hawk-Eye: At a meet
ing of the board of trustees of lie
Burlington hospital LAST evening dt
was definitely decided to locate the
addition upon the south side of the
present building on Third street,
There has been more or less discus
sion among the friends Of the institu-
ton as to where the new building
should be placed, but after carefully
considering the matter the trustees
decided that the south side was the
most convenient and feasible site.
While practically no canvass has
been made to secure funds for the i'm
provement, which was determined up
on some months ago, the trustees have
about $500 in sight. They have de-
cided to raise $4,000 before COM
mencing work. There is now no
doubt that this amount will be secur-
ed. A gentleman in tie city has made
a conditional subscription of $500,
and the condition will be met without
difficulty. other generous donations
have also been made.
At last nights meeting it was also
determined to erect nurses home,if
the subscriptions at all justify such an
undertaking. For this a lot will have
to be purchased, as the addition on
the south of the main building will .ot
leave room where the building now
used as nurses home stands. The
trustees have no particular place in
mind, but are certain hat some con-
venient site can be obtained.

TUESDAY EVENING. MAR. 81. 1906.

THE Tammany Society, OF New York
city. announced last week the platform
on which it would fight this years State
campaign, and also the issues on which
the next presidential election will Turn.
It favors making the national fight on
the issue of tariff reform, and in the
State campaign will confne itself to adj
vocsting rigorous punishment for in
surance grafters and opposition to mu-
nicipaI ownership OF public utilities.
This means that Tammany has deter
mined to put spoke 10 the wheel OF
w. r. Hearsfs candidacy fer the gov
ernorship. One of the resolutions adopt
ed opposes socialism in these words:
We hold that the cure for all these
abuses is not in socialism, which, by
enormously extending the power Of gov
ernment, must aggrayste .hem, but in
democracy, which, by excluding gov
eminent from any interference what
ever with private industry, must cure
them.
Tammany's platform is safe and demo-
cratic and no good citizen need fear
standing upon it.

Burning of a Theatre.

Meriden, Conn, March 27.-The
Meriden Theatre block on Church street
aud the Theatre Auditorium in the rear
were destroyed by fire today. For a
time it seemed as though large portion
of the business section of the city was
doomed. The block which forms the
theatre entrance is a brick three story
structure and the theatre auditorium was
formerly the old First Congregational
Church, a wooden structure, which was
moved there 20 years ago. The rear OF
the Winthrop Hotel aud the Wilcox
block, two of the finest buildings in the
business centre on Colony street, adjoin-
ed the theatre and it looked rs though il
would be impossible to save these. The
fremen turned a number of streams OF
water on all sides of the burning struc-
ture, however, and by good work saved
all the surrounding property. The walls
of the theatre fell in with crash during
the height of the fire adding to the spec.
tacular features of the blaze and several
people were injured. The fire caused a
paric in the Winthrop Hotel and many
guests and others hastily prepared to
leave the building and many did 80.
But no damage was done TO the hotel.
The total loss is estimated at $50, 600.

In signed editorial in the American
Federationisi, Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of La
Dor, sets forth clearly the view which
his organization takes of the arrest oil
the officials of the Western Federation
of Miners for the assassination OF ex-
Governor Steunenberg, of Idaho. In
describing the arrest of these men, be
SAYS the governor of Colorado had, with
out hearing, consented to these men be-
ing forcibly taken to Idaho, arrested by
the Idaho authorities 10 the dead OF
night, put on Especial train, " carried
from their home State to foreign state
and there lodged in prison without the
opportunity of communicating with each
other, their families. or counsel. !"
The charge against the imprisoned men
is very grave one, but there are due
forms of law by which the guilt or inno-
cence of men charged with crime is es-
taIshed as we'll is there provided the
lawful process by which such men may
be extradited and taken to the State

He recommends that Congress enact into

The prospects of ship subsidy legisla-
ton at this session of Congress are gradu-

delegation to urge him to give consider

the Senate and which has been pigeon
holed with the House committee on
merchant marine and fisheries, OF which
Gen. Grosveuor, Of Ohio, is chairman.
The feeling in the committee is by no
means a unit. On the contrary, 1t IS so
closely divided, that those who are OPP
posed to ship subsidy legislation claim
victory on the ground of an alleged tie IN
the committee. They say that the vote
stands nine to nine, and that because oil

STRAws SHOW the way the wind blows
and the effect another coal strike will
have on the business of the country and
the distress it will bring to the poor may
! e Judged from the following paragraphs
Orders have been issued by Mechanl-
cal Superintendent George w. Wildin,
of the Erie Railroad, suspending loco
motive repair work at all shops on the
system. Five thousand men are laid
cf. The action is said to be due to the
threatened coal strike.
The price of coal in the Pittsburg dis
trict is advancing rapidly and large orders
are being received from local manufactur-
ers, from Cleveland and as far west as
Chicago. The critical situation at Indian
aopolis has caused a rush of orders
from all points. Coal is selling at an
advance of % cents per ton for large
amounts, aud much was being bought
at those figures. A further advance is
looked for. The poorer class of resi-
dents of that district will be the chief
sufferers.

indianapolis, March 27.-The joint
scale committee of the hituminous min-

morning voted a disagreement. They
decided to call air the joint conference
this afternoon at 2 o'clock 1t is esti-
mated that 400, 900 of the coal miners
are effected by the decision. This
number, it is said, will in all probability

when the existing labor contracts expire.
Vice President I. l.. Lewis ofthe United
Mine Workers, who was one of the first
to come from the committee room, made
this statement "a motion is to cal! the
Joint conference in session this afternoon
at 2 O CLOCK. The committee will report
a failure of The operators and miners to
agree. Asked who had made the mo-
ton, Mr.. Lewis said : at was made by
one side and seconded by the other. 2"
The committee went into session shortly
after nine G clock this morning and was
not 10 session over half an hour.
The final cause leading up to the COM
mittee's action was the demand of the
miners for an increase of SO per cent. in
wages. The original demand Twas for
1915 per cent, but this was not serious y
considered by the committee during the
sessions each day since March 20.
