ed by a cigaret thrown down by a
young man. The flames forced their
way into the hall and across into the
adjoining room, and were burning
briskly when the timely arrival of the
fire department cut them short. The
loss on the building is covered by in

after sales OF Washington Railway com
mon had been made at 403s up to 4O24
an offer 10 pay Al for any part Of the
capital stock found but a single lot Of
90 shares seeking a market at that price
The narrowness Of the market was thus
shown, and the strong and confident feel
ing Of holders accentuated by their un-
willingness 10 part with the stock al
these figures After striving vainIy TO
buy the stock, the principal purchaser
tried the other tack and sold some few
lots at even lower than his bold offer
The sales totaIed 800 shares. and the
