FIRE AT PITTsBURG.
Municipal Institutions Are Very Badly
 Damaged.

Pittsburg, July S1-Fire that threatened to destroy the municipal institutions or this city at Marshalsea, twelve miles from here, broke out about 10 o'clock tonight and at midnight was still burning and threatening to wipe out all the build- ings covering a space of several acres. The fire started in the laundry of the main building and quickly spread to those on either side. The administration build- ing and the hospital were destroyed and one unknown man was killed by falling walls. Three of the inmates were seri- ously injured.
 Three fire engines with a quantity or hose were placed aboard a special train and sent to the scene of the fire. This train reached Marshalsea at Il o'clock and almost immediately another call for more fire fighting apparatus was received and two more engines were dispatched At that hour the fire had communicated to the insane pavilion and this building ap- peared doomed. The inmates of the vari- ous buildings were ordered out as soon as the fire began to spread and were herled together on the lawns short way from the burning buildings.

ORE WORKERS END
 STRIKE AT DULUTH
ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS BY THE STRIKERS IS VICTORY FOR THE MADE CONCESSIONS.

Duluth, Mnn., July Sl.-After discuss Ing for more than two hours the propo- sitons contained in the final letter of the officials of the Duluth. Mesaba and Northern railway to the striking ore dock men the latter today voted to return to work This ends the dock strike in Du- luth, Superior and probably in two har- bors, and it is regarded as likely that the officials of the steel company will Immediately resume mining on the range
 The acc eptance by the strikers of the terms of the railroads is victory for the company, but both sides made conces- sons. The letter to the men which was addressed to Mayor Cullum was one of extreme mildness in tone but in it the company stood out for it's policy of main tainng an open shop. On the question of an increase in pay the company was equally firm, maintaining that a verbal agreement entered into between the com pany and the men on a schedule of wages which was to remain in effect until Oct. 31 1907 should be fulfilled by the em- ployes.
 Arbitration was not denied neither was it promised, but it is understood from the letter that the men may bring up any grievances they may have singly or by committee and it will receive due con sideration by the company
 The strike on the docks has been in ef- feet about two and half weeks
 President w. J. Olcott of the Duluth, Mesaba and Northern railway said this afternoon that operations on the ore docks would be resumed tomorrow

Garfield nominated John Sherman. In the full ness of time some votes were cast for Garfield himself. He rose to a point of order and began to protes against the delegates voting for him when his name was not before the convention. Chairman Hoar cut him off in the middle of a sen tence to prevent him from saying some thing that might prevent his accepting the nomination. Hoar had seen the drift to- ward Garfield and Hoar was intensely opposed to the nomination of Grant, largely because Grant as President would listen to Ben Butler about Massachusetts patronage distribution.
