striking him under the chin and
into the roof of his mouth. His ton

A disastrous fire occurred at Sails
bury, Nd, on Tuesday which for a
time threatened the railroad stations
and the manufacturing district along
the line of the N. Y. P. & N, railroad
and the residence section in that local
ity as we'll, but by hard work on the
part of the fremen the blaze was
confined to one block and the loss may
not exceed $40, 900. The buildings de-
stroyed were the refrigerating and
cold storage plant, store, dwelling and
outbuildings of Capt. L. B. Colburne,
while some adjoining buildings were
damaged, The dwelling Of Capt. Col
bourne was total loss, but some o
the other buildings were not so badly
damaged. The railroad station is very
close to the burned structure, a narrow
street separating them, and as it is of
frame, much apprehension was felt.
The employees of the railroad and the
manufacturing establishments and
stores in the vicinity assisted the fire
men. While the fire was at its height
as the locality is thickly settled will
many valuable buildings, there wal
much excitement all over the city anC
it was feared that the entire east enc
would be prey to the flames.

John Tyre one of the Oldest and best
known employees of the Pennsylvania
railroad, was struck by an express
train and instantly killed %, Harring-
ton station last Saturday week. Tyre
was crossing the tracks when train
Was laundering south and at the same
time another was coming north. Tyre,
when he reached the middle of the
tracks, evidently became bewildered at
his dangerous position and before he
recovered one of the big locomotive s
struck him. The man was tossed
ahead of the engine and then dragged
under the wheels. The body was
ground to pieces and parts of it were
scattered along the tracks for consid-
erable distance. The accident occurred
in full view of score or more of pas
sengers who we're standing about the
platform waiting for the approaching
trains. Women screamed ard strong
men turned their heads to avoid see
ing the terrible sight. Tyre had beer
in the service of the railroad company
for thirty eight years in the sam,
position. He was employed abou
the station at Harrington and ha'
never before met with an acciden
on the railroad. He was about 6
years of age. A widow and four grow
children survive him.

time. however full advantage has not been
taken Of the possibility Of treating these
timbers by cheap and simple process
such some of the notifications of the
open tank method provide.
In nearly all cases the treatments have
been confined to complicated pressure
plants, which are so expensive to build and
operate that their time cannot profitably be
Of timber, which, being used in large guam
titles, it would otherwise be advantageous
to treat. Thus, to treat lobolly pine the
or fence post by the pressure method
renders the final cost of timber greater
than that of an untreated tie or post of a
naturally decay-res!sting species
But lob!olly pine and the Sapwood Of
other species in their natural state decay
too rapidly under most conditions to JUS
tffy their use, and so the result has been
that other and scarcer kinds of wood were
used for such purposes at a great expense
to the consumers, while the value OF the
second growth pine remained comparatively
low.
1t is this condition which it is hoped to
improve. A study will be made not only
of the practicabiity of treating the diff
ferent classes of timber which the mills are
now turning out. but the more important
question will be taken up to whether the
character of the output can be changed
and treated to increase the total
financial returns.
An experimental open tank treating plant
will be erected at once. and the details
of the process will be modified to suit the
different classes of timber. If it is found
that pressure is needed in certain cases. a
pressure plant may be erected for the
treatment of special kinds of timber and
operated in conjunction with the open tank
1t is also hoped that waste from the mill
can be decreased by resortng to proper
preventative methods. The question of util-
iZing sawdust and other waste material for
distil!ation will also be considered.

BUSINESS EXPANSION.
Progress Made to the North of Com
mercial Center.

The changes in the uses of property in
cent? al portions of the city are regarded as
indications OF a growth and expansion in
business. Practically along all the streets
from 18th street west to nth street there
has been to a greater or less extent an adj
vance northward In the location of business
places. In the case of 18th street the move
ment has reached Franklin square On
l4th street it has now invaded the square
opposite Franklin Park between l and K
Streets and as that thoroughfare and it's
cross streets have in late years become a
sort OF a center where a good many real
estate brokers congregate it's further prog
ress in that direction is noted.
The farthest north on that street thus far
reached by real estate firms was when the
new realty company of Boss & Phelps
opened an office at 904 14th street The
offices were only temporary, as they have
leased building few doors to the north,
which Is being remOdeled for their USE and
next week they expect to take possession
When they vacate 904 1t Is the expecta-
ton of Mr.. Ben B. Bradford. who owns
the property, to make suitable changes in
the building. and he will then occupy it
with his real estate office. A block to the
south and around the corner on H street

In individual cases as a rule is not sufi-
cient to place them in the rank of large
business establishments.
1t has not been very long that the
northeast corner of New York avenue and
14th street has been the location of the
old-estabished firm of A. F. Fox Co
but 1t is evident the president of the com
pany, MIR. Edmund X. Fox, finds the change
a good one. AT any rate, he has come to
the conclusion there is more real estate
business than can be done In the usual
hours, so he is arranging to have two shifts
OF clerks. and the first of the month will
begin to operate a day and night real estate
office
Mr.. Fox will enjoy the distinction of hav-
ing the only office Of the sort In the city,
and also. he says. in the country. On this
latter point he had recent opportunity Of
making some observations. as he took a
trip through the west of about Il 900 miles
going as far north as Nome Alaska

AN ARCHITECTS PROBLEM.
Suggestion on How to Get a Start
in Life.

From the American Architect.
How should an architect get his work ?
1t is a serious question that each beginner
has to ask himself, one that has been put
to US more than once. There Is but one
answer, and that is-he must be known
of men," But this hardly helps as it sim
ply causes the query to be changed so as to
read: How may an architect make him
self known? In a certain number of cases
the answer comes naturally and In course
of time; the draughtsman who Is of the
right stuff to make an architect and who
has proved himself OF exceptional value to
his employer IS taken into partnership. and
his name thenceforward becomes as well
known as that of his partner.
But the men who become known in this
way are usually men who. though capable
and we'll educated, have to depend on their
daily wages. and SO are rather forced to
graduate from the bench, as it were. But
there are others willing to take more risks
perhaps, more confident in their real
powers. or. happily possessed Of indie
pendent incomes do not care to wait to be
known until middle age overtakes them.
but wish to gain name and fame-and
money-while young. How shall these be
known?
They cannot advertise in a commercial
way can business men, since 1t would
be 'unprofessional," and such advertising
as can legitlmately be done on a doorplate
is not likely to be very productive. II they
are unwilling to adopt the old fashioned
course of establishing themselves in some
new community, growing up with it. be-
coming known therein by daily Intercourse
with their fellow-ctizens and satisfying
their needs as they develop. then there are
only three ways open: To make an all-
ance with a specializing builder. to seek
success by constant participation in compe-
titions of all kinds, or, frankly, to tout for
work.

THE RENT DECIDES.
Difference Between a Flat and an
Apartment.

In these days of the popularity of fat
buildings a judicial construction of the
distinction between a fiat and an apart
ment will be of interest The question was
brought before the supreme court OF New
Jersey in the case of Lignon agt. Jackie
&" Atlantic Reporter. DBL. The court says
that fiat flathouse is building consist
ing of more than one story. in which there
are one more suites of rooms on each
floor. equipped for private housekeeping
purposes. An apartment house is either a
building otherwise termed a fiat" or it
is a building divided into separate suites
of rooms intended for residence, but com
monty without facilities for cooking. 1t
was contended that the proper distinction
depended upon the amount of rent which
was paid The court comedies the posi-
bility of this. but holds that the payment
of $40 month rent will not convert fiat
into an apartment.
