THE BAKERS OF PARIS
 WILL NOT STRIKE
m Consequence of the Extra Work
 Imposed by Rest Day Regulation.

Paris. Oct. 7.-The threatened strike of the bakers in Paris in consequence of the enforcement of the weekly rest day regulation, did not occur, and to- day passed without incident. Because of the presence throughout the day of 400O special police and 500 of the re- publican guards patrolling before the bakeries. as well as a detachment Of infantry posted at the various police stations. the city had more or less the appearance of being under military law.
 The working bakers decided almost unanimously not to strike and conse- quently nearly all the 2O90 bakeries in Paris have baked a double quantity of bread and the stores are busy supply ing customers with extra quantities in view of the closing of the bakeries to- morrow. A few of the working bakers received instant dismissal for refusing to do the extra work made necessary by this double production and tonigh- these men threaten reprisals. The authorities. however, have no anxiety on that score.

Globe. Ariz. Oct. (SpeciaO-A fire resulting from the combustion of oil gas in the feed tank of a locomotive at 5:30 this morning, destroyed the Round House with four engines and an oil car, also the main shops and a car of sugar and partially burned a car Of merchandise
 The tank of the engine that was to pull the outgoing passenger train was being filled with oil and an mex perienced man left to do the work held his lantern close to the manhoIe in the top of the tank. to see how it was filling. Instantly there was an ex- plosiOn which blew the man off the tank and scattered burning oil all about. The round house was ablaze in a few moments and the fire was quick ly communicated to the machine shops Owing to the intense heat and the closeness of the water tank to the burning shop, it was impossible to get the fire apparatus into place.
 The estimated loss to the railroad is $10O,O0O. The company has five en- zines still in service. The machine shop is the most serious loss to the company and will cripple it for several weeks. The Globe fire company did good work, preventing the flames from spreading to adjacent residence prop erty.
