BAD FIRE NEAR WEST POINT
Hotel Used to House Guests of
Academy Burned.

Highland Falls, y. Y. Sept. 1S.-One
Of the worst fires ever experienced in
this community broke out tonight in
The Rocks. a hotel at which a number
Of summer guests were boarding. The
hotel. a large even-story structure, was
destroyed at a loss of $4,000, and 1t
was with great difficulty that the fire.
men saved adjoining buildings.
Sensational rescues attended the fire
Many OF the guests jumped into life nets
which policemen held and firemen risked
their lives TO bring down timid women
from some of the upper floors.
The West Point fire department was
called on for assistance. and with the
local men they succeeded in saving the
Ladycliff Academy, which was threaten
ed with destruction by the nearby fire.
The Rocks was on the estate of Colonel
caleb Huse, Of the Southern Confeder-
acy, and the hotel was used as sort
Of annex to the Military Academy at
West Point for the housing Of summer
guests. The blaze is supposed TO have
been started by a defective chimney.

IRISH RAILWAY STRIKE
TIES UP WHOLE ISLE
Employees on the Three Principal
Lines Satisfied with Wages
but Cease Work.
TROOPS ORDERED TO DUBLIN
Men Vainly Asked Employers to
Refuse Timber Consignments
from Firms Having Trou-
BILE with Their Help.

Dublin, Sept. 1S.-A great mass meet
ing Of railway employees was held to-
night and a resolution adopted in favor
Of a general strike on the Great South
ern & Western, the Great Northern and
the Midland Great Western, the three
principal railways in Ireland. SO seri-
GUS do the authorities regard the situa-
ton that all the Dublin regiments whish
are absent on practice have been ordered
10 return 10 this city. Little violence
however has yet been reported. The
ROYAL Irish constabulary and the Dub
lin mounted police are guarding the rail-
way stations.
The question Of an increase in wages
or shorter hours does not enter into the
present trouble. The men have made no
demands in this direction. The strike
is due 70 the refusal Of the three rail-
WAYS TO accede to the demands Of their
employees that the railways decline TO
handle consignments Of timber from
firms involved in disputes with their
employes. Lorres transporting timber
through the streets to-day were guarded
by detachments Of police, but only one
attempt was made % interfere with
massage. and this was quickly sup
pressed.
The decision to call general strike
was anticipated by railway men, espe-
cialIv those connected with the Great
Southern & Western, with which the
trouble originated. Enormous quantities
of agricultural produce, eggs poultry and
other perishable freight have accumulat-
ed at the North Wall station. the COM

No Sporting Justification.

London. Sept 19.-"The Times in an
editorial this morning urges that, in the
Empires interest, the JOhnson-W Wells
match ought TO be stopped because it
has no sporting justification.
The spectators, says The Times will
be attracted solely by a morbid and un-
wholesome interest in a struggle be-
tween a white man and a black man,
and the contest itself together with the
showing Of the fight pictures. can only
serve to promote or aggravate the color
feeling throughout the Empire, where
whites and blacks live together.
