NEW YORK, March 25.-Fire which
started from an overturned lamp in
workman's cottage swept across Barren
island in Jamaica bay early today and
every man, woman and child among the

hours in fighting the flames with i'm
provised apparatus. A fire boat from
New York was sent to help but on ac-.
count of the shoals could not get within
range.
Then the aid Of tugboat with a shall
lower draft was enlisted. The tug
steamed close to land and sent a haw-
ser ashore in a rowboat This was fas-
tened to one building after another in
the path of the flames and the tug
pulled these structures down, thus fl
nally staying the blaze.
On Barren island are located the big

LOUISVILLE. March 25.-The Herald
this morning says: Unless, demands for
the telegraphers on the Illinois Central
railroad for an increase in wages are
granted by March 80 a strike on the en-

to 25 per cent while the railroad has
offered an increase of about per cent.
The telegraphers now receive from $07
to $50 per month.
