FIRE YESTERDAY.
Mrs. Frames Boarding House Il
Scene of Blaze.

The old ]. 2. Barnes residence on
Broadway, between Fourth and Fifth
avenues, now owned and occupied by
Mrs. A. R. Frame. caught fire yester-
day afternoon and but for a very quick
run and some excellent work by the
firemen, the blaze would have been a
serious one. 1t was soon under con-
troll and the fire confined to frame
addition to the main structure, which
is of brick.
1t is believed that the combination
Of small boy and matches caused
the fire. 1t originated in the rear ad-
dition referred to and had gained such
headway that it took lot of water
to extinguish it. The loss, however,
will be small.

gel Gompers according to the United
Mine Workers journal has incurred
not only the enmity Of the largest
single union within the federation but
has brought down a column of abuse
from the journal which Is the official

charges that Gompers was sent to
Europe by the Federation with his ex-
pense; paid, and the result of his in
vestigation abroad was to be given
to the laboring men of this country for
their betterment. The journal states
that 1T, and other labor papers, were
recently offered weekly letters Of Com
pers giving the result of his investiga-
ton and conclusions at one dollar per
letter per week. 1t is said that letters
were scld by previous arrangement
by Gompers to newspaper syndicate
which In turn was to get money out Of
the labor press of America. The jour
nal announces that 1t will not publish
the letters and says if Gompers could
not afford to make report on the
conditions made with the case of the
American Federation of Labor he
should have stayed at home.
