Kentucky-Jamestown Notes.

The last shipment of logs for use in
the construction of the Fort Of Boones-
boro, Kentucky building at the James
town Exposition has been made and it
is expected that the building will be
completed in time for the opening of
the Exposition On April 20. Some 6e-
lay was experienced in the delivery of
the first logs shipped, owing to the
congestion OF traffic in the freight
yards near the Exposition grounds.
Reports from Norfolk indicate that
the situation has been relieved to a
great extent and it is believed that all
building material should be on the
scene in ample time for the work to
be finished before the opening Of; the
Exposition. FNine cars of logs, clap
boards and pole for the fort have been
sent from Kentucky.

ORDER TO REMOVE POLE.
Abraham Willner May Ask Judge to
 Grant Him Relief,

Attorney c. c. Root stated to-day that he was about getting tired of waiting for the county commissions CTS to decide the controversy between his client, Abraham Willner, and the Connecticut R. & l.. Co concerning the removal of a pole opposite his property on Meadow street. He said that unless the county commissioners decide the matter within a few days he shall apply to Judge Case of the superior court for an order to re- move the pole, and that Judge Case twill be only too willing to grant such an order. A few weeks ago Willner's suit for $2,O00 damages against the company for refusing to remove the pole was heard before Judge Case and jury in the superior court and verdict for $400 was allowed him. From this verdict the company ap- pealed. Attorney Root now says it is not compensation his client de- mands so much as the removal of the pole. The company on the other hand says it is absolutely necessary where it is.

FIRE LAST EVENING
Hsuseiurnlshinss Destroyed at the Home of J. ". Mcdonald.

A spark from match ignited a lace curtain at the home of John w. Mcdonald on Walnut street last night and before the blaze was extinguished a few hundred dollars worth of house furnishings was ruined. Some delay was occasioned in getting into com munication with the department on account of the inability of the tele- phone office to give them the call without the number. This necessi- tated run. to the nearest box and by the time this had been done and the department reached there the damage was considerable. Unless box is too far of it would be safer to head for it than wait to look up the number of fire house in the direc- tory. Sometimes you may get call from central without the number, but there is nothing certain about that, and it may be the time you need a prompt response most that you are met with refusal.

HIT BY DINKY TRAIN.
Mrs Edith Penfeld Bruised. but Not

New Britain, Jan 4.-Mrs Edith Penfield. wife of Edgar D.

 Mir and Mrs Penfleld live in New ington and were planning to attend the play last evening. Mir Penfied was at the station prepared to take the train, but his wife had not arr rived when the train was ready to start and he asked the conductor to wait moment. It was then discov- cred that shortly before she reached the depot she had been struck by the train apparently as she was crossing the track.

TALMA MINISTRIES.
This Year the Proceeds Go to the
 New Hospital Fund.

Did you ever. stop to consider that there Is a great abundance of chari-
 table feelings hidden away in the
 hearts of humanity that only needs
 a little prodding now and then to
 make those feelings blossom forth in
 sweet and entrancing fragrance? We
 have all witnessed the recent grand
 success of the Company c ball, the
 proceeds of which are to be donated
 to the new hospital, soon to be erect ed by MOnsignOr Slocum of the In-
 maculate Conception church. Each
 man of that company vied with the other in creating a fund that would
 at least furnish some little comfort on the cots in the coming hospital. And now approaches the next organi- zation with the same worthy object in view to assist in building an in- stitution that will be a pride to the city and sOlace to the sick The Talma club, and when you mention that name you can imagine only the joyful side of life, depicted in song and minstrelsy. Yet underlying all the mirth and pleasure is that one sweet word. charity. This year the Talma members intend to devote the proceeds of their annual entertain ment to the hospital fund. They scarcely need to appeal to the public for patronage, for the name of "Tal- ma" has sort of mesmerism in it. self that like magnet draws the people to those entertainments each year and make them hunger for the next year to come around. This year the minstrel band of the Talmas, sixty voices strong. under the able direction of Professor R. A. Laslett Smith, will hold forth at Poli's thea ter on Monday and Tuesday evenings. February 4 and ,. At this time an outline of the specially prepared pro- grail will be premature and the only reason of speaking of the entertain ment at all. is to let the public know that when Talma member speaks to you about the little cards he carries around with him you may receive him graciously and bid him Godspeed in his excellent work.

Eire in LocomotIye Works.

Fire, which started with az explosion
10 the paint shop, destroyed the entire
section Of the big Baldwin Locomotive
works at Philadelphia last night, entail
ing q loss of 81 900, 900. The destroyed
building is about IT'S feet long by $50
feet deep, facing on Spring Garden street
and Immediately adjoining the main
Office, at the corner OF Broad and Spring
Garden streets, and the erecting shops,
smith shops and ioundries on the south.
These buildings were threatened With
destruction as we're other apartments in
the rear of the destroyed building along
Spring Garden street and on Fifteenth
street, and the entire fire department
was called out to fight the flames.
About 1000 men we're employed 10
the burned building, which was five
stories high. The pipe bending depart
ment was on the Grst floor, the "jacket-
ing" or sheet-iron department on the
second, o metal pattern storeroom and
brass fitting room on the third, the paint
shop and cab-6nishing department and
paint storeroom on the fourth and the
drafting and designing rooms on the
fifth aoor.
The Gre was discovered in the east
end of the building, adjoining the main
Office building, few minutes before q
O'Clock, when the worknep were pre-
pairing to leave, AID, though the flames
spread quickly, all we're able to get ont
of the building safely. Shortly after the
fire started the upper portion OF the wall
on Spring Garden street fell into the
street, and one fireman and three work
men we're caught By the falling bricks,
but fortunately received only slight in
iuries. The Gremen, with the assistance
of the fire patrol from the plant, sue
ceeded in getting the flames under con-
troll within an hour after the fire was
discovered.

Another Mine Horror.

There are at least 80 or 60 persons
dead as result of an explosion 10 the
Stewart mine, near Fayetteville, in Fay
cite county, W. Va, last night, accord
ing to the last reports' received, and it is
expected the number will reach 20 more
The explosion was caused by dust in
the mine. Every effort Is being made to
get to the men who are entombed, bur
there is little hope that any of them Are
alive.
At the time of the explosion there
were about 200 men 10 the shaft, and
there Is grave apprehension that great
many OF them we're 10 the mine when
the explosion occurred. A list Of the
dead is now being complied, aud it will
include at least the number mentioned.
Organized efforts are being made to
get to the men in the mine and yolun-
teers are plentiful. The scene about the
mine is pathetic one, men, men and
children crying for their dear ones and
imploriug those on the ground TO go to
their rescue.
