MECHANICAL vENDERs
OF Cigars On Interurnan Cars Stripped

Lid is Put On.

Logansport, Ind, Aug. 20-The
lid" dropped without warning on
Logansport, Sunday and as result
the people We're unprepared. The first
effect of the closing brought forth Wig
orous efforts on the part of tobacco
users to procure cigars and other ar
ticles.
The only oasis in the tobaccoless
desert was provided by the interurban
cars. These cars contain a mechani-
cal yender of cigars of the "drop-a-
nickel' type. AS soon as car
reached the interurban station-eyen
before the passengers could alight--
men rushed pell nell through the cars
and dropped nickels into the ma
chimes. Every car that reached the
city after it was found that the lid
was really on was in this way stripped
of cigars.

Chicago, Aug. 20.--For more t1lal
two hours business on South Water
Street was at a standstll on accouat
of fire In building occupied by the
A. II. Baber Creamery company. The
blaze started between the second and
third floors at 227 and 233 South
Water street at o'clock
Twelve girls employed on the sec
end floor escaped without injury, as
did most of the male employees Sew
eral of the working men were over
come by the smoke or slightly burn
ed
While the firemen were fighting the
flames on the third floor an ammonia
pipe burst and several of the mem.
bers Of engine companies 13 and 40
were rendered partially unconscious,
and did not recover until dragged to
the street by their comrades.
From Franklin to Clark streets
South Water street lay under a pail
OF darkness. A strong westerly wind
was blowing. which rolled the smoke
clouds from the burning building in
dark dense masses along the thor
oughfare. Drivers of teams who en-
deavored to find their way out be
came mysteriously entangled with
other wagons Several were upset.
The fire was discovered by John
Miller, who was in charge Of the ele
vator Of the building. He ran the
car Of the elevator TO the fourth floor
with the intention OF aiding the EN-
ployes. Scarcely had the car reached
thPt floor when the cables were burn
ed in two aud Miller leaping for his
life, fell on his hands aad knees
the third foor. while the car crashed
to the bottom o fthe shaft. Miller was
badly hurt by his fall but despite thi9
led the other employees in an attach
upon the flames with the hose at th T.
command.
1t is supposed that the fire was
caused by crossed electric wires. a
fruitful source Of anxiety to the fire
fighter was the fact that in the base
ment there we're three large tanks
ammonia and a big supply
On the fourth floor As II happened
however. only one Of the smaller
pipes exploded. The loss is estimated
to b. 5000 .0o0.

The latter are emphatic in the state
ment that no agreement will ever b.
made with the strikers. President
Clowry made one agreement through
Commissioner of Labor Neill they
state, and as that was violated an
other will not be made.
The strike officials believe that
they have the companies so badly
crippled that they will be forced to
settle sooner or later. They admit.
However, that the struggle win con
tinue for some time
Many of the strikers formerly EN-
loyed by the Postal company re-
.oeived a circular letter today from
j. s. Rohrer. an official of the com
pany requesting the striking employees
to call on him. and while he could
promise them nothing he would be
sure to intercede for them. and that
he felt sure that some arrangement
can be made that will insure them
steady employment.

who returned to work now would be
