One Thousand Pennsylvania Railroad
Shopmen Strike at Pittsburg an(
Altoona.

AGOOua.
Pittsburg, Pa, May 1.-Without
any excitement or rioting, 1900
Pennsylvania Railroad shopmen un-
expectedly struck to-day.
The grievance of the shopmen is
that the company has been discharg-
ing men who have worked for the
company many years because they
belong to the union.
The strikers and their sympathiz-
ers say that 10000 more employees
of the company will also strike.
Later Report.
A later report says that 10000
men walked out on strike on Penn
sylvania Railroad on account of the
strike of 800 shopmen.

placed the city under martial rule.
Portland. Lewiston. Augusta, Old

and they sent IL.
A score Of buildings were blown up
IN an effort 20 check the flames and
dynamite was used literally
The fire started in the hay shed Of
J. Frank Green on Broad Street. and
in a short time was sweeping through
the city In a northwesterly direction.
Before midnight Sunday night both
sides of Exchange Street from York
to State, both sides OF State Street
from Kenduskeag stream to Broad
way, a considerable part OF Central
and Franklin Streets, nearly all OF
Park Street and NARROW Street were
IN ruins and the flames had made in
roads OF nearly a mile into the best
residential section in Broadway. Cen
ter and French Streets.
The burned area follows the Ken
duskeague stream for nearly two
miles north of the starting point and
spreads out to width varying from
one-eighth to a quarter of a mile at
different points.
Spend Night i'm Streets.
Thousands of persons spent the
night in the streets. some from choice
but many because their homes were
either burned or were in danger. Out
side the danger zone they gathered
about fires built in the streets and
there camped for the night, getting
what little sleep they could curled up
in quilts and blankets that they had
gathered up in their hasty flight.
The fire is considered by insurance
people the worst that Maine has
known since the Portland fire in
1867. At lease a quarter of the city
has been laid to waste. Most of the
best residential section of the city was
swept away when the fire left the
business section. 1t spread out like
a huge fan with its widest part among
the homes of the people.
A change of wind and a downpour
of rain solved the problem and the
firemen gained control of the fire.
The authorities attention was then
turned toward housing the homeless
and feeding the hungry. The destruc-
ton Of the food supplies in the re-
tail district presented a perplexing
situation. The nearby towns were
asked to help, and as result, every
incoming train brought loads of sup
plies for distribution among the suf-
ferers.

Answered.

An exchange says that a physl'
clan in their town received per-
sonal letter from Sears, Roebuck
6 Co. 1t was a we'll written ad-
vertisement and closed by ask
ing him if there were any good
reasons why he did not buy of
them, and if there we're to give
them in an inclosed envelope.
The physician answered as fol-
lows: Your letter of recent date,
asking why | did not trade with
you for a long time; is received,
and as you asked me to tell you
frankly why, | will give you few
reasons.
First, | am in business in this
community with its varied indus
tries for my support. l cannot
ask the merchants of this town for
their support if | do not give them
mine.
Second, in looking oyer my
books, l do not find either Mr..
Sears OF Mr. Roebuck, or any
other of your companys' names,
which reminds me that neither of
these gentlemen have ever given
me penny's patronage. Why is
this9 Am too far away, or have
neither of them needed physi-
clan, OF are they afraid of the
mail order plan when it comes to
the practice of medicines | can
certainly give as good satisfaction
by mail as their house can, and
will appreciate call from either
of them when in need of medical
service.
Third, in looking over the sub
scription list for the improvement
of our streets or public highways
i have failed to find the name of
either member of your firm down
for one penny to assist in the
work. Also | have been unable
to find your name on any of the
charity lists where help has been
rendered to our poor. In other
words, you are not down as con-
tribuor to our Helping Hand soci-
ETY.. In fact, in all the move
ments for the betterment of our
condition, where our community
has needed the united efforts of
our public spirited citizens you
were not one of them. | have
failed to see your name among the
list of our contributing merchants.
Your name is not on our city
tax books, nor do | find where
you have paid a city license to do
a mercantile business in competi-
ton with our home merchants.
These are a few answers to your
questions, and | trust you will see
the justice of them"
